Here Friday
Press Institute Will
Also Hear Governor
From Indiana
Paul V. McNutt, past com
mander of the American Legion,
who left the deanship of the In
diana University law school to
become governor four years ago,
will address the students of the
University Friday morning dur
ing chapel period, sponsored by

Record volumes of legislation
liave been enacted during the
JVIcNutt administration. Through
the state reorganization act, he
consolidated departments and
bureaus. He placed every state
employee except one deputy of
each elective official, under ten
ure that exists only at the pleas
ure of the governor.
Future
McNutt himself counters all
questions about his future when
he goes out of office. Political
observers have had him ticketed
variously as secretary of war in
President Roosevelt's second
term, high commissioner of the
Philippines, judge of the Federal
Appeals court at Chicago or
president of Indiana university.
Prison breaks and the terror-
asm spread by Hoosier John Dil
linger and his mobsters embar
rassed McNutt and subjected
him to unfavorable publicity.
Some friends say he is reluc
tant to return to academic life
lifter the important part he
played during a critical period in
the history of the state and na
tion. Orators To Tell

Civil War Novel
Proves Popular
On UNC Campus
Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with
the Wind" Is Best-Seller
In Chapel Hill
Margaret Mitchell's "Gone
With the Wind' the long first
novel about the Civil war and its
aftermath in Georgia, obviously
sells on this campus and in
Chapel Hill with the same rapid
ity as is true all over the coun
try, living up to the implication
of its title.
Marvin Abernathy of the inti
mate Bookshon declares that he
will forever be grateful to Mrs.
Oscar Coffin, who "tipped him
off" about the book six weeks be
fore it was published. Unwill
ingly he ordered a supply, and
upon arrival they sold like wild
fire and are still doing so.
Over Million
i
Since its publication last July,
it has already passed the mil
lionth mark in sales, and Mr.
Abernathy reports the selling of
as many as 65 copies in one week
before Christmas.
The Bull's Head bookshop in
the library also displays the book
as its best seller. According to
the librarian, many of them
were purchased as yuletide pres
ents, while about 100 others on
the rental shelf are constantly
out. Reviews and critics have
headlined it "the most widely
read and best written book in
years."
As runners-up on their best-
selling lists, owners of local book
stores say that readers have
turned to non-fiction and pur
chase "The Life of Plato" and
Victor Heiser's "An American
Doctor's Odyssey." Phillips Rus
sell's "The Glittering Century
still continues to lead sales in the
field of books by local writers.

Lear Introduces
Co-operative Plan
To Greek Heads
House Managers Will Meet To
morrow Night to Consider
Possible Organization ,
In Graham Memorial last
night the Interf raternity council
heard Guest Speaker J., M. Lear
introduce, the idea of reducing
costs of fraternity operations
through co-operative purchas
ing. . . . ' . . ,;
No definite action of organiz
ing a co-operative was taken last
night except to call a meeting of
the house managers for tomor
row night with the possibility of
then making plans for organiza
tion. In his discussion of co-opera
tives Mr. Lear gave numerous
examples of successful consum
ers' co-operatives and went into
detail in explaining the princi
ples upon which the Rochdale
I spinners, the hrst successtul or
ganization of this type, operated.
Getting closer home the speak
er pointed to the successful co
operatives now in operation on
college campuses in the United
States. "The first campus co
operative," he said, "was begun
at Harvard. Oregon State col
lege," he continued, "now has a
co-operative managers associa
tion which got under way by as
sessing each member $20 in
order to get started."
Vast Saving
Mr. Lear encouraged the coun
cil by pointing out the vast sav
ing that would accumulate over
a period of time through co
operative buyjng. He expressed
his belief in answer to a question
concerning incorporation that
"it would be better if the organ
ization is incorporated." He fol-
owed the statement by pointing
out that incorporation limited
he liability.
The council took no action to
ward organizing the co-operative
but adjourned with plans to
meet again with the managers
tomorrow night after the idea
lias been discussed more fully.

the succeeding struggles during
their rooting in the new land.
A preliminary announcement
of his speech states, "The pur
pose of my address is to show
that the Jews were pioneers in
America, so that when, the
charge is brought that they are
newcomers, intruders and inter
lopers, it is proven false by his
torical facts."

Senate Approves
Four Alterations
For Constitution
President Pro-Tern to Be Chair
man Ways and Means Com
mittee; Others Appointed
Four amendments to the con
stitution of the Di senate were
approved last night by the sen
ators. The first of the amendments
was that the last meeting of the
the society term shall be known
as an executive session. The
second amendment was that the
president pro-tem shall be chair-
man of the ways and means
committee of which other mem
bers shall be appointed by the
president.
Other Changes
The other modifications were
as follows: The treasurer shall
be paid an amount to be deter
mined by the society on the rec
ommendation of the finance com
mittee, and a person shall be
suspended for more than two
unexcused absences during the
society term.
The first bill, Resolved, That
the United States should adopt
some constitutional amendments
giving Congress power to enact
minimum wage and maximum
hour laws, was defeated.
Trez Yeatman defended the
bill by pointing out that there
are a great many strikes in the
country now. . He said that the
federal government had tried
unsuccessfully to regulate condi- .
tions and that the states had met
with little more success.
Frank Holman compared gov
ernment and business by defin
ing business as a profit for peo-
pie wnne government is a pro
tection. Since business is more
popular, said Holman, govern
ment should leave business alone.
He added that there is an arbi
tration board that handles busi
ness affairs.
N.R.A. Failure
Newton Craig stated that the
only experience the government
had had with business was the
N.R;A. and that was a failure.
