Presented At State
Convention
Miss Frances Johnson, presi
dent of the Young Republican
club of the University, and Bill
Cole, a member of the club, at
tended a Lincoln Day dinner and
state convention of the Republi
can party of North Carolina last
night.

on the campus this year.
History

cludes an address here by James
F. Barrett, organizer for the
American Federation of Labor,
under its sponsorship. Club
leaders hope to have Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts and
Representative Bruce Barton of
New York speak on the campus.
" Following are some of the
points suggested for the policy
of the national Republican
party :
1. The Republican party most
take cognizance of the present
will of the majority of the peo
ple and become more liberal in
its views.
2. The Republican party
should work hard to appeal to
young people throughout the na
tion and especially to those in
the colleges: the young people
on whom will eventually rest the
welfare of the Republican party
and the , nation. These young
Republicans should be urged to
come forth and be prepared to
uphold the standards set up by
the older leaders of the party.

116-Year Old Edifice

an additional grant from the state legislature or some other "an
gel." This money was appropriated by the last General Assembly
to repair the roof of Gerrard hall, now in its third year of disuse.
University officials hope to restore the entire buildng, con
demned in 1935 by the state insurance commission, and to use
the 116-year old edifice for a small assembly hall, its original use.
