In Campaign For Senate
IV. H. Griffin and Wife Tour
State in Trailer During
Democratic Primary
By Gordon Burns
Employing a trailer and an
-amplifying system in campaign
ingfor the first time in politi
cal history is the contribution
of W. H. Griffin, senatorial can
didate in the recent primary and
new resident of Chapel Hill.
"We were six weeks on the
road in all," commented" Griffin,
in describing his unique experi
ence. "My wife and I started in
Raleigh, covered eastern , North
Carolina down-to Beaufort, and
went west as far as Asheville.
We had a complete house-keep
ing unit in the trailer water,
accommodations for sleeping,

The University of North Car

Dental society in sponsoring
post-graduate lecture course in
dentistry. Approximately 300
members of the dental society of
which Dr. Eugene B. Howie of
Raleigh is chairman, are plan
ning to enroll in the course.
Consisting of four major lec
tures and clinics to be held quar
terly throughout the year, the
course will treat the following
subjects: Oral Surgery, Prosthe

Faculty Passes
Security Plan
Retirement Annuities
Program Adopted
Members of the faculty, head
ed by Dean D. D. Carroll of the
school of commerce, have drawn
up a plan for the establishment
of a retirement fund for profes
sors of the University.
"We are convinced after very
careful consideration of the
problems involved that the best
interests of both University pro
fessors and public school teach
ers will be served by uniting in
he effort to secure the imme
diate establishment of a sound
plan for retirement annuities,"
read the report of the University
of North Carolina committee on
Retirement Annuities.
Part of Salaries
- The committee has suggested
that each teacher make a contri
bution to the fund of from four
to five per cent of each month's
salary and that the state make
an equal contribution for each
instructor.
The plan sets as its standard a
retired annuity of one-half of
the average salary received by
the teacher during the five years
immediately preceding his re
tirement. It also provides for a
disability benefit , to be paid to
teachers who become disabled
after ten or more years of serv
ice. Another stipulation of the
proposal is "the retention by the
teacher of an absolute property
right in the amount which he
has paid . in, plus the interest
thereon, together with a similar
right after ten years of service
in the contributions that have
been made for him by the state.
Dr. J. M. Booker, department
of English, dissented from the
majority proposals." "My objec
tions attach both to the annuity
plan recommended and to the
considerations'- prompting the
committee's recommendation. I
record the former first. Considr
ered as a system of retiring an
nuities, the present plan is infe
rior to the plan recommended by
the committee of 1926 or even

The Graham plan, for over a
year a thorn in the athletic side
of Southern conference institu
tions, was abolished by a unan
imous vote Friday night at a
meeting of conference officials.
The decision to wipe out Pres
ident Frank P. Graham's ath
letic purity scheme came after
Captain Norton Pritchett, ath
letic director of the University
of Virginia, had electrified the
conference with the announce
ment that the Old Dominion
school wished to resign from the
Southern conference because of
an "intolerable" athletic situa
tion. New Rules
The .new regulations adopted
for eligibility say that all types
of assistance given to an ath
lete must be approved by a fac
ulty committee "on the ground
that they have not accrued to
him primarily because of his
ability as an athlete."
President Graham stated that
the new plan still contained all of
the principles of his plan.
Resignation
The delegates to the meeting
voted totally to withhold the ac
ceptance of Virginia's resigna
tion for a period of one year. It
was hoped that the Cavaliers
will find the abolition of the old
plan and the adoption of new
measures acceptable, and that
they will reconsider their deci
sion to leave the conference.
It was decided to carry out
the schedules planned for next
year considering Virginia still a
member of the conference.

To Be Placed At Inn
American Mathematical Society
to Hold Sessions Here in
Phillips Hall
" 'Christmas Trivia' is this is- j
sue of the Carolina Buccaneer,
which will be released in the
middle of - examination week,"
admitted Editor Julian Bobbitt
yesterday.
According to the editor, there
will be three outstanding fea
tures for the holiday season
number: Lawrence Hinkle's par
ody, "A Visit from Santa Claus
Almost," "George" by Bobbitt,
and Dick Hicks' story, featuring
Mr. Roland Tumble . and 'his
Sweepos-Vacco.
Said the editor concerning his
contribution, " 'George,' will ap
pear in each issue of the Buc this
year. He is a small town cos
mopolite, and definitely not one
of the literati." .
The usual poems by Claire
and Henrietta and the fashion
plate by Louise Waite will appear.
The 43rd annual meeting of
the American Mathematical so
ciety will be held jointly at Duke
university and at the University
of North Carolina from Decem
ber 29-31. The. local headquar
ters for the meeting will be at
the Carolina inn. :
The sessions of the meeting
will be held at Duke December
29 and 30, and here in Phillips
hall on December 31. ,, -
The American Mathematical
society, made up . of prominent
mathematicians from all over
the world, has never before held
its annual meeting in the South
east, and the fact that this year
the meeting 'will be held here,
the mathematics department an
nounced, is" "attributed to the
growing mathematical activity
in this section.!'
Duke university dormitories
and the Carolina inn will house
the members.
"The Pirates of Penzance" Car
ries Out Parody on Grand
Opera to Fullest Extent
By Bob Perkins
Droll, whimsical, topsy-turvy
humor satirizing British respec
tability and the exaggerated
moral sense of the Victorian era,
is the description given to Gil
bert and Sullivan's comic opera,
"The Pirates of Penzance," to
be given next quarter through
the cooperation of the Playmak-
ers and the music department.
In writing the libretto for the
Pirates, Gilbert is believed by
many to have written some of
his most comical lines, Sullivan,
in the score, attempted to carry
out to the fullest extent a paro
dy of "Grand Opera."
Musical Score
Critics say that the melodies
cannot help win the hearer, but
at the same time the musical
score holds up for good natural
laughter the Verdian style of
Italian grand opera." Many of the
songs have been popular
throughout the country, and to
day with various-; adaptations
are familiar to many. An exam
ple of this is the Pirates chorus
in Act n: ; , :
