WWt See 111 IT VOLUME XLV EUSOTEW FH0S2 415 CHAPEL HILL, N. C, TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1937 NUMBER 78 University To Hear McNutt DuringChapel Political Union to Bring Indiana Governor Here Friday Word was received last night - definitely announcing that Paul V. McNutt, Indiana's white haired governorwill speak here before the student body Friday morning during chapel period, under the sponsorship of the Carolina Political union. McNutt will be in Chapel Hill in connec tion with the North Carolina Press Association institute. Former Dean ' McNutt, who left the deanship of the Indiana university law . school four years ago, according to political authorities has added more power to the office than was enjoyed by any of his prede cessors, most of whom were Re publicans. As governor, McNutt was at tacked bitterly by labor because four counties of the state had been under martial law at vari ous times in labor disputes. The American Federation of Labor denounced him at its national convention. Opportunist His enemies say McNutt is a political opportunist, ever alert to the main chance, a supreme ogoist who has no hesitation in jettisoning a friend or ally if it means his personal advance ment. His friends leap quickly tohis defense. They declare criticism is unjust, that he has made the state's welfare paramount and refused to concern himself with the personal ambitions of some who thought they had claims on liim. . Hobbies McNutt, youthful - appearing despite his prematurely white hair, has many interests. He likes to ride in airplanes, make speeches, play golf, poker and see football games. He is a-past national commander of the American Legion, in which he lias taken an active part since its founding. - Debater Tells "Y" Of Tours Cabinet Hears Speech By McMullan At the Junior-Senior "Y" cab inet's first winter quarter meet ing last night, Harry McMullan, student at the University, spoke on his recent travels abroad, es pecially in Germany.
