Co-op Cleaning Prices
Beginning Monday, January
20, the cost of having a suit
cleaned and pressed at the
Student Cooperative cleaners
will be raised from 29 cents to
39 cents, according to an an
nouncement yesterday by
Haywood Weeks. These prices
are on the cash-and-carry ba
sis and apply only to cleaning
and pressing.
The rise in cost is occasion
ed by the necessity of buying
new machinery for the plant.
Since the cleaning unit was
started with no capital any
addition to the equipment
must be taken car of by rais
ing prices. 'i-

has been announced by Professor
R. S. Boggs, who instructs the
class on introductory folk lore.
The talks will be given oy lo

Those already planned are: Dr.
A. P. Hudson of the English de

23, Dr. Guy B. Johnson of the
sociology department will tell of
Negro folk lore, as exemplified
in his legend on "John Henry."
Jan Philip Schinhan, professor
of music, will speak on January

songs. : :
Other discussions tentatively
planned for this quarter include
a discussion of the utilization of
folk lore in drama, by "Proff "

Mrs. J. B. Adams Addresses
First Meeting of Newly-Organized
Female "Y" Group
V
- The Y. W. C. A. made- its
first appearance on the Univer
sity campus yesterday after
noon, amid a flurry of congratu
latory telegrams from the local
Y. M. C. A. An enthusiastic
group of women moved into the
organization's permanent head
quarters on the second floor of
the "Y."
Miss Helen Hodges presided
over the meeting and led the
discussion in the formulation of
plans.
Mrs. J. B. Adams of Chapel
Hill addressed the girls on ' the
value of the Y. W. C. A. on the
campus and gave her reasons as
to why she thought it would be
successful here. She stated that
the women were so greatly out
numbered by the men that they
needed a channel for self-expres
sion and a medium for the devel
opment of capable leaders. "The
University is noted for its lib
eralism," declared Mrs. Adams,
"and the Y. W. C. A. is one of
the most liberal organizations
that I know of ; therefore I am
sure that the Y. W. C. A. will
find receptive and congenial sur
roundings here."
Outline
Mrs. Adams warned the girls
not to allow their group to be
come purely a social or purely a
religious club, outlining in full
the expansive and forceful in

draws near, at which time squad
members and subjects will be
selected.
Faculty and student members
of the board will enter a dis
cussion at this meeting which,
when closed, will result not only
in a team to cross the seas in
answer to the British invitation,
but also a portfolio of subjects

invasion of the Redcoats last fall.
Government Professor E. J.
Woodhouse, who at one time
practiced the verbal profession
of law, is well prepared to pre
sent his opinions at tomorrow
night's meeting and aid, as
I member of the council, in select
ing a squad which meets with
his criterion.
Thinkers Wanted

fessor Woodhouse stated. "The
council is against the old orato

"As to subjects," the govern
ment, professor continued, "I be
lieve the squad should be wel
equipped with material, pro and
con, on the various politica
forms of government. At our
meeting we shall thrash over the
New Deal as undoubtedly the
debate team will be asked by
the English group to explain itsi
purposes and constitution."
Two Topics
Although no subjects for
formal debate have been select
ed, Dr. Woodhouse has selected
two definite topics which he ex
pects to offer the committee to
morrow. "I should like to see a
debate on the relation of the ju
diciary to our form of govern
ment," he said, "and then a dis
cussion of the duty and right of
citizens opposed to war in case of
a war."
This last suggestion would be
of special interest in England

An unusually large audience
heard Phillips Russell, eminent
writer and professor of creative
writing, deliver the weekly
Bull's Head lecture yesterday
afternoon. Mr. Russell's sub
ject was : "Owning a Library."
Much to the surprise of the
group, tne speaKer began, I

read so much. Books just can't
take the place of outdoor exer

SPRING SPEAKER
OF PHI ASSEMBLY

12:30 Monday night.
"Boom !" and the courtyard of
Spencer hall echoed as excited
co-eds woke up (some of them
were asleep) and poked tousled
heads out of windows to see
whether an enemy airplane had
attacked, or jealous sorority gals
had attempted to destroy the
place, or somebody was just
drunk.
Marjorie Usher, studious
young lady, swears she was
awake and saw the flash of a
fire cracker. Another co-ed had
been tossing about in a night
mare in which she was defending-
radicals in a strike scene
and begging the authorities not
to use violence. The explosion
was a hand grenade, as far as
she was concerned.

The Y. M. C. A. reported last
night that 82 students from here
had registered to hear Toyohiko
Kagawa at Duke tomorrow
morning and afternoon.
Dr. Kagawa will address
students' and young people's
conference in Page auditorium
at 11:30 a. m., and at 2:30 p.
m. He will speak to a similar
gathering in the Woman's Col
lege of Duke.
Co-operation," upon which
Dr. Kagawa bases most of his
philosophy, will probably be one
of the principal topics of his
speech. He is also a leader in
the "Kingdom of God Move
ment," which he says has as its
purpose a Christian society
where love shall be the dominant
motive. He does not believe that
communism nor socialism will
ever bring in the. "Golden Age."
Meets Conflict
Although Dr. Kagawa has fre
quently come into conflict with
his own government in regard to
social and economic affairs and
has been forced to serve several
jail sentences, he has become so
highly thought of that in recent
years this same government has
sought his advice.
The following annotations are
quoted from his works:

After Wylie Parker delivered
his inaugural address to the Phi
Assembly last night, members
used the remaining time to elect
officers for the spring quarter.
The political campaigning, which
was characterized by alternate
unanimous selections and heat
ed debates, resulted in the selec
tion of Winthrop Carver Durfee
as spring speaker. Durfee was
elected unanimously.
Frank McGlinn was elected
speaker pro-tem over Pete Pet
erson by a count of 19-10. Leigh-
ton Dudley marched unanimous
ly into the office of sergeant-at-arms,
as Drew Martin gained
the reading clerk's chair by the
same route.
Elected to the ways-and-
means committee were Stuart
Rabb, Francis Fairley, and Ed
win Hamlin. Rabb was select
ed chairman. The voting on
these offices required 20 minutes
of discussion, voting and re-voting.
In his inaugural address,

Sanders Preparing
Juvenile Case Study
Discusses Correlation Between De

night melodrama.
(Continued on page two)
Dr. W. B. Sanders, of the
public administration depart
ment, is preparing a study of
juvenile court cases covering the
past five years, which will be
published by the North Carolina
State Board of Charities in the
early spring.
The purpose of the survey is
to find if tjiere is any correlation
between the depression and the
number of juvenile criminals.
So far, according to Dr. Sand
ers, the reports show that the
years of depression have not af
fected the children's court re
cords at all. A study of 16,000
decisions handed down by 108
courts has been made.
This report is a follow-up of
a book published on juvenile,
cases since 1919, when the juve
case system was established.
