Order Of The Grail
By Adrian Charles Spies
(Ed. Note This is the first in a series of articles on various campus
organizations, giving their structure, purposes, and offices. Mr. Spies
will present a different organization each day.)
Of all the so-called "integrating" organizations on the campus, the Order
of the Grail is one of the most active and well supported. Originally con
ceived for the purpose of bringing together fraternity and non-fraternity
men, the Grail has enlarged the scope of its endeavors to include all of
the various student elements the combination of representatives of the
various campus organizations.
With this aim' in mind, the Grail is primarily a service unit. Students
are chosen in view of their ability to serve, but it is the general opinion
that key men in the various student groups "are better able to effect the
getting together."
New Members
Each year 13 new members are selected from the sophomore and junior
classes. The custom has been to choose seven fraternity men and six non
fraternity men one year,' and reverse the number the next. The Grail mem
bers themselves elect their own officrs.
In order to facilitate the Grail's communal aims, it has been granted the
sole privilege of giving informal dances throughout the academic year. To
quote Ramsay Potts, president of the group: "This gives underpriviliged
students a chance to acquire the social graces and mix with their fellows."
Money
The money which is made by these affairs is used by the Grail to further
its better-relations policy; some of it is dispensed to certain other organiza
tions in the hope that they may serve the campus more easily.
The Grail usually makes awards at the year's end in the various sports
fields, judging their selections from a combination of scholarship and ath
letic ability. There is also a prize to the outstanding freshman athlete.
Whatever money remains is used either for a gift to the University or
the student loan fund.
Present officers of the Grail are as follows: Delagata, Ramsay Potts;
Scribe, Marvin Allen; Exchequer, Joe Patterson.
MONOGRAM CLUB
TO HAVESMOKER
Sports Awards
Will Be Given
The Monogram club will entertain
its members next Tuesday night with
a smoker at which awards for winter
sports will be presented to those who
won them during the season.
Bowman Gray of Winston-Salem
has been invited to address the group.
Awards
All athletic coaches and all mem
bers of the club have been invited
to attend the meeting at which let
ters and numerals for varsity and
freshman basketball, boxing, and
wrestling will be awarded.
Andy Jones is in charge of the ar
rangements for the smoker. Jim Hall
is sending the invitations and Joe
Murnick is inviting the speaker. .
Marvin Allen is working on a spe
cial presentation for the club which
will be made public at its next meet
ing.
EYE TO
THE FUTURE
Out of the biggest political show since 1933,
Tuesday emerged a slate of new campus offices
and a student legislature.
Political efforts of the last week and the strain
of listening to political returns were the first re
sponsibilities of the new men, but they have not
yet reached their goals of success. Only next
April when the next set of officers take their posi
tions will their actual destinies be decreed.
And the legislature, as a by-product of Tues
day's confusion, stands on shaky ground. In the
opinion of J. M. Booker of the faculty, "power will
be concentrated into the hands of a few," the ma
jority quorum of 25 members will allow as few
as thirteen to ride bills through, and the frater
nity block of five votes may be "politically well
disciplined," he claims.
And action by the campus legislature is not
limited to the interests of participants in campus
activities. Rather its powers extend to the depths
of every fee-payer's pocket-book.
What changes will it bring about in the current
of campus affairs?
Probably next fall the forty-eight representa
tives will be selected for duty. No general elec
tion will be necessary since the members are
drawn from specific groups'.
Unless the representatives so decree, the body
will be called at the discretion of the student body
president, or on petition of the members.
Agenda will be outlined before meetings, and
all bills will be made accessible to the floor only
by a selected ways and means committee.
All these provisions of the plan aim at one goal :
namely the elimination of "vicious-circle" bull.
The campus legislature will fail if it becomes a
glorified discussion group dedicated to mass
wrangling over "academic" issues.
It was built for action when there is a need
for action. If a need arises once a quarter, or
even only once a year, then is the time for the
legislature to meet.
When the body meets for the sake of formality
alone, it will inevitably weaken both its prestige
and efficiency.
21 Student Presidents Turn
To Legal Profession
Records Show Most Campus
Head Men Take Up
Lawyer's Career
By Donald Bishop
It's hard to say whether it takes a
lawyer to grab off enough votes to
be elected president of Carolina's stu
dent body or whether the campus head
man usually becomes a lawyer because
he did hold that position. '
At any rate, a review of the rec
ords shows that a majority of the in
stitution's 34 student, body presidents
21 to be exact were either in law
school at the time or entered later.
First President
Student government at the Univer
sity has its history entwined with
hat of the college itself and especially
with the activities of the Di senate
and Phi assembly. It reached the
point in 1904, however, that a student
was actually recognized as the stu
dent government leader. The first man
0 be so honored was Sidney S. Rob-
ins. wno was president 01 tne senior
THE BOYS
IN THE BACK ROOM
There were plenty of candid cameras at the
elections Tuesday, but somehow the most inter
esting picture of all was ignored, and that was
the Grail room as the votes were being counted
Ballots piled unbelievably high on the round
table, cigarette smoke welling upward, the count
ers sang in monotone a bedlam of names to each
other. Pretty soon coffee pots and sandwiches
added the last note of confusion to the crowded
table, and tallymen took a brief respite while
coeds carried coffee and reporters jotted sub
totals.
But permeating the din was a 'certain esprit
de corps that could not help be detected. The hand
pumping was over, the hand-bills under foot. The
job at hand was that of judging the feeling of a
campus which had picked its leaders with the ma
chinery of democracy.
Carolina has often been spoken of as a training
ground for government leaders. Those who were in
the Grail room Tuesday night could feel the spirit
of democracy in action. Maybe our Chapel Hil
edition of democracy isn't the best, but neither is
our national democracy.
Anyway, what we did Tuesday was awful good
practice. L. I. G.
class and automatically chairman of
he student council.
In 1921, Walter Reece Berryhill,
now head infirmary physician, became
he first student body president to be
actually recognized as such.
Lawyers Muscle In
Neither of these were in law school
or ever started legal work, but be
tween the presidencies of Robins and
Berryhill there were 19 law students
or law-students-to-be and only nine
who were in some other school.
Many of the student body heads
held the office while in some school
other than law, but they would later
enter law work here or elsewhere.
Judges Parker
John J. Parker, now judge of the
United States Circuit Court of Ap
peals, studied law and was president
of the student government in 1907.
His son, John J. Parker, Jr., entered
Harvard law school last fall after
graduation here last summer. The
younger Parker was student body
president. In 1908, Oscar R. Rand,
later a Rhodes scholar, was student
government head. His brother, Oli
ver Gray Rand, was a law student
and held the chief student office in
1917. ,
All of this gives to two present
students here an excellent opportunity
to attain the ultimate in Carolina
politics; at least this is a deduction
that might easily be reached. The
situation is thus:
Now there are enrolled here the
son of an ex-president and the broth
er of one, Bill Dees of Goldsboro, a
freshman, and Jack Fairley of Ma
rion, a sophomore. Dees' father,
now a Goldsboro attorney, was the
student council leader in 1911. Fair
ley's brother, Francis H. Fairley, now
studying law at Columbia, was presi
dent in 1936. And furthermore, Dees
has already decided he will enter law4
and Fairley says the choice lies be
tween commerce and law for him.
Success
Alumni office records, more or less
up to date, show varying success in
life after college for the presidents.
The aforementioned Judge Parker,
valedictorian of his class, has in the
past been mentioned for the United
States Supreme court, and at one time
was practically certain of appoint
ment, but labor organizations blocked
his approval.
Dr. Frank P. Graham, vice-president
of Phi Beta Kappa and student
body president in 1909, later studied
at Columbia and the University of
Chicago, joined the history depart
ment here, and succeeded Harry W.
Chase as president of the Greater Uni
versity of North Carolina, comprising
units at Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and
Greensboro.
Another Phi Bete
William J. Cocke, Jr., Phi Beta
Kappa president in 1925 and student
body president, received a Rhodes
scholarship and after studying at Ox
ford, returned to Asheville, where he
is now a prominent lawyer. Dr. W.
R. Berryhill is another student body
head who was at the same time Phi
Beta Kappa president.
Beside Dr. Graham, Dean 'of Stu
dents F. F. Bradshaw is the only
other student . body president now
connected with the University. He
was the cmapus head man in 1916.
K. Mayne Albright, Jr., is a more
recent president who has reached a
considerable degree of success. He
is now director of the North Caro
lina State Employment Service, with
his office at Raleigh. He graduated
in 1932 and returned for study of
law in 1936.
Gridiron President
A great football player who at the
same time found time to be supreme
in campus politics, Ray Farris, of the
class of 1930, is now a Raleigh law
yer. At the height of his gridiron ca
reer he was selected at the guard posi
tion on the NEA second team and the
Associated Press third team.
Another top-flight athlete and
scholar, Virgil Weathers, president in
1935, is now in Shelby.
Among the successful lawyers and
legislators who were student body
presidents are: Walter B. Love, '06,
of Monroe; John J. Parker, '07, of
Charlotte; W. A. Dees, '11, of Golds
boro; Robert A. Freeman, '12, of
Dobson; Oscar Leach, '14, of Raleigh;
0. G. Read, '17, of Wilson; William
Marvin York, '18, of Greensboro; Ju
lian R. Allsbrook. '24. of Roanoke
Rapids; W. J. Cocke, Jr., '25, of Ashe
ville; Jefferson B. Fordham, '26, of
New York; Charles R. Jonas, '28, of
Lincolnton; D. Ed Hudgins, '29, of
Greensboro; Ray Farris, '30, of Ral
eigh; Haywood Weeks, '33, of Kinston,
and Bennett Harper Barnes, '34, of
Graham.
Other ex-student body presidents:
Sidney S. Robins, '04, teacher,' of Can
ton, N. Y.; Newman A. Townsend, '05,
with the Federal Department of Jus
tice, of Washington; Captain Oscar R.
Rand, '08, in the judge adjutant gen

DAY AFTER NIGHT BEFORE
So frequent were phone calls at the Tar Heel
office election night that finally they just let the
receiver dangle. . . . Next afternoon no call came
for an hour, and even then it was just a bulletin
All those who supported Bill Cole and Tommy
Meder in last election Meet this evening in phone
booth on second floor of Graham Memorial.
Signed: Bill Cole, Tommy Meder.
Microphones and Men
Everybody had a good time the day after. For
consolation we sought out some unsuccessful can
didates. Gordon Burns' outstanding recollection of the
day: "The coffee at the election party was lousy."
During the day a flock of ducks with Creedy ban
ners around their necks kept waddling past micro
phoneless Gordon, who sat unruffled on the lawn
of Graham Memorial listening to the grating loud
speaker chat of "Don't Be Greedy Vote For
Creedy" Enthusiasts Nick Read, Stu Rabb, Bill
Hudson, and Bob duFour.
Jane Hunter, beaten 25 votes by Frank Wake-
ley, wired home "Mamma, that man's here to
stay."
Ivey's Coffee
Success of his election party delighted Pete
Ivey. For the P. U. Board's $15, Graham Memo
rial poured out 15 gallons of 'coffee for the 400
political returns watchers.
Printers were happy, too. Between shops in
Chapel Hill and Durham, political independents
and the two parties spent approximately $200 for
propaganda.
It was one of those whatta days.
Bids Issued To
Athletic Meet
(Continued from first page)
this first conference of high school
athletes has heen planned as a model
for similar annual conferences in
Chapel Hill.
Each school has heen asked to send
three delegates, including at least one
junior. The conference will elect its
officers which will meet with it next

"I've changed a lot since I was a freshman.
When I first came to college I was at the height
of my adolescent stage. I'd read Thomas Wolfe's,
'Look Homeward Angel but I did not know that
he was from Carolina. I was quiet, mannerly and
moral. I've changed. At home I imagine that my
parents sense the change too. Perhaps it is the
coming of maturity that has affected the change,
I don't know.
"I'd never seen a prostitute before I came to
college. I'd never seen sex tossed about so freely
in the presence of girls, who did not seem to mind
anyway. Nobody minded except a few obvious
prudes.
"I'm very cynical now. Confident? Why there
is nothing that I can't accomplish if I set out
to do it ! I'm omnipotent in my own mind."
This is a highly opinionated niece of fiction on
the effect of college on the manners, morals and
confidence of "Joe College." It was remitted to
me by an old friend of mine, a man who had lived
m several college towns but had never been a
student.
I do not know the basis, other than general ob
servation, on which the opinion was founded. In
terested in determining the validity of the cari
cature I formulated the following question, "Does
college cause any change in the set patterns of
me, sucn as manners and morals, which the stu
dent abided by during his pre-college days?" and
uuimtiea re. to several campusites.
Mr. Kenneth Evans, instructor in cnrnnlncnr was
of the opinion that it would not be fair to give
any general answer to the question.
-ast environment, such as community, and
Home life, have a direct bearing upon the student
and his chances of changing. Taking stock of
past patterns of life is healthy, since changes
should come through questioning rather than
tnrowing' the problem overboard." The fact that
upon leaving home the student witnesses a slight
bumping into life may also have some bearing
upon his changing."
