ASSEMBLY VOT
AGAINST PRESENT
GRADER SYSTEM
Group Rejects Proposal
Favoring Speech
By Browder
With scarcely any discussion,
the Phi assembly voted last
night 21-10 to abolish the pres
ent grading system at the Uni
versity.
The bill was held over from
last week at which time argu
ments flew heatedly. Represent
ative Harry Ganderson gave
report on the system of educa
tion at Chicago preceding the
voting.
Earl Browder
The second bill was, Resolved
That the Phi assembly approve
Earl Browder's speaking on this
campus, rne representatives
warmed up to the subject and
discussed it from all possible
angles. Leighton Dudley urged
the assembly to consider Dr.
Graham's position and the influ
ence of the state press and
alumni upon the matter.
Representative Billy Seawell
pointed out the same view and
said that Dr. Graham's ideals
would not allow him to forbid
Browder's speaking. Represent
atives Drew Martin and . Bob
Browder argued that the liberal
ism of the University was at
stake and for the information of
the students, Browder should be
allowed to speak.
.The bill was defeated by an
overwhelming majority.

I am sure your presence as ush

see an unusual view of the life
of Emperor Maximilian of Mex
ico.
Before his execution in 1867,
biographers had pictured Maxi
milian as a villain, but his death
brought to light outstanding
deeds showing the better side
of his life. Miss Niggli, in 'The
Malinche," makes him the hero
he has come to be in the hearts
of many of the Mexican people;

Research Bulletin
Material Requested
The graduate school office
urges faculty members who have
not sent in their material for the
annual bulletin, "Research In
Progress," to do so at once.
Material not received at 202
South building by Saturday can
not be accepted.
s-
Our protector of the so-called
weaker sex further states, "The
extent of the crowd will demand
185 strong-armed ushers and
my admiration for W. C. U. N.
C. could not possibly permit me
to sacrifice any of our beautiful
sisterites in favor of the 33,000
spectators that will j am their
way into Kenan stadium."
Wishing to maintain his high
standards of chivalry and his
reputation for gentlemanly con
duct, Fletcher wants the girls
to know that he will be glad to
refer their request to the Y. W.
C. A. date bureau. "They may
be able to get you dates with
choice seats and probably tick
ets to the German club dances."
Endeavoring to comply with
the girls' request for a speedy
answer, he considers this medi
um the most appropriate.
Concluding with, "Hoping to
see you after the game, I remain
Very truly yours," he says
goodbye.' .... . -
