Freshmen Politicians 1938 Edition Given Added Powers (UJL, w Faculty Committee Reinterprets Rules On Off-Campus Hops - By BILL RHODES WEAVER New teeth were put into powers of; the University dance committee tinder a recent re-interpretation of rules and regulations by the faculty committee on dances and the " University dance j committee, Bill McCachren, acting chairman and secretary of the Uni versity dance committee, said in an interview yesterday. "No radical changes have been made," McCachren stated. . He inter preted the recent move as giving the dance committee greater jurisdiction over dances presented by students and student groups off-campus as well as on the campus. DANCE CONDUCT The new interpretation deals with general conduct of students at all dances sponsored by students. Restate ment of article one is as follows: "The conduct of all dances given in the Uni versity shall be completely under the Unversity dance committee." In article five, the committee is giv en the power "to suspend from all dances given under the auspices of the University, for a period at the dis cretion of the committee, any student, visitor, or alumnus for any miscon duct whatever." 1 - FLOOR RULES Dance floor rules contained in ar ticle six are: "first, any girl desiring to leave the dance hall during any evening dance with the intention of re turning must be accompanied by a chaperone during her entire stay from the dance; second, anyone showing signs of drinking or other misconduct shall be dealt with according to the discretion of the University dance committee." Hours for dances, regulated by the committee, are that all dances shall close not later than 1 o'clock, provid ed that the last dance in the com mencement series shall close not later than 2 o'clock.

White recently pointed out that the library is faced with several serious problems that must be solved within the near future if it is to maintain and expand its services. According to White, one of the ma jor problems of the library . is the housing of its rapidly increasing col lection. The present building is over crowded now, many of the recent aquisitions having been placed on the floor of the stacks until more shelf space is available. SPACE HANDICAP The problem of space becomes more acute every month as the collection of books grows at the rate of approxi mately 15 to 20 thousand volumes a year. During the winer quarter of last year, additional space was provided when the seventh level of the stacks was equipped. However, due to the pressure elsewhere in the building, the new space brought only temporary re lief. Six months after the expansion new accessories were again being placed on the floor or packed away until more shelf space became avail able. At present, White said, the un equipped space in the library will ac commodate about 25 thousand vol umes, but even that will be iiilea within a year and a half. Adding: to the congestion Js the expansion of the School of Library Science, which has increased since 1931 from about 30 students to 120 today. The school, already overcrowd ed, White said, will need more room within the next few years. Another factor is the 46 per cent (Continued on page two) STUDY SHOWS GRADS NEED AID Survey Proves Lack Of Home Support "More than one-fourth of the high school graduates of last spring who planned to attend college had no re sources at all, and almost another fourth could only attend the least ex pensive college on condition that they should be able to secure aid," accord ing to a survey announced by the Co operative Personnel study, a fact-finding organization.

Pictured above are the University freshmen who were candidates in last fall's elections. Traditionally big-wigs in freshmen politics sink into oblivion, but some expect to continue active work in, and for, Campos' elective offices. A minority says last fall's ventures were enough. Tradition Decrees No, But Majority Of Frosh Politicos Expect To Continue Careers FORUM SPEAKERS DISCUSS FASCISM AND COMMUNISM Relations Group Hear Members Defend Dogmas The current problems of fascism and communism from an American democratic standpoint were discussed by four forum speakers at the meet ing of the " International Relations club held last night. The four girls who gave talks were Miss Blanche Corbett, Miss Anne Martin, Miss Nancy Nesbit, and Miss Margaret Evans. Miss Corbett and Miss Evans up held and explained the inner-workings of the' communistic state. The former outlined the status of the communistic activities in the world today, while the latter described the ideal state under such a system. Miss Corbett stated "that there are two problems facing the world today, proper organization of the masses in order that the great majority of the people might receive the bulk of the benefits of the civilization, the search for a true democracy, what it is and how to attain it. COMMUNISM In discusing the results which the instituting of a communist system would necessarily bring about, Miss Evans stressed the different point of view which would be existent under this plan.

The belief is that invariably they disappear into the oblivion of po litical obscurity. With this fact the underlying factor, a symposium was held yesterday, in which the relative progress and success of the officers and candidates was reviewed. In the capacity of president, Bill Shore has been active in managing klass executive responsibilities.;. .'-After- appointing ' his committeemen, formu lating the budget, and procuring ex tra pages in the Yackety-Yack, Shore is now planning to have a smoker, ex clusive for the freshman class.

John Diffendal, secretary, swept into office on the same ticket as Cocke and Ned Edwards, treasurer, has pledged ATO fraternity, and has become a member of the Phi assembly arid the Freshman Friendship coun cil. Being naturally politically-mind ed, Diffendal will, according to his statement, take an active part in the spring elections. Edwards has been chosen president of the Kappa Sigma pledge group. Bill Ward, only defeated member of the so-called "fraternity bloc," has been rather active as a pledge of Phi Delta Theta, a member of the Di sen ate, and the Young Republican club. He appeared slightly pessimistic, how ever, over his future participation in campus politics.

GILMORE FINDS FIRE DEPARTMENT NEEDS EQUIPMENT Fire Chief Reports Fireman Shortage Is Serious Need In response to a request issued yes terday by Voit Gilmore, chairman of the CPU, 32 students signed a state ment that they were willing to offer their services as volunteer firemen. The request for volunteers was made after an investigation into the available equipment and number of firemen seemed to show that the town is lacking in sufficient fire-fighting apparatus and that there is a short age of men to m&n it. REPORT BY PERRY After conferring with R. P. Perry, chief of the local fire squad, Gilmore found that new equipment, rather than an adidtional staff of men, is most needed at present. Perry also said that the town now has more than the minimum of equipment required by the underwriters of insurance com panies. When asked last night what his next move would be, Gilmore said that he would write Mayor Foushee and sug gest that the town "board of alder men submit a request to the adminis trative board of the University asking for an appropriation for new equip ment. VOLUNTEERS The following students signed the statement yesterday saying that they would volunteer their services in case of need : Voit Gilmore, Leo Cohen, Mil ton .

Residents Yell Only One Girl Boasts The Bravery To Turn Off Lights After Seeing "Mickey" By JO JONES Lhe girls at - Archer nouse are having rat trouble the four-legged variety, of course. To the casual observer it might seem that "Jezebeau," the cat who made front page a few weeks ago. could be of some assistance in the matter, but apparently "Jezebeau" just isn't interested. CHIEF RATZI Now "Public Enemy No. 1,", better known as "Mickey the Rat," first made his appearance sometime in October in the room of Mary Jean Bronson, where he was removing gloves and handkerchiefs from the dresser draw er. But the coward ran when the light was switched on.

Funeral services will be held in the Presbyterian church tomorrow after noon at 3 o'clock and interment will take place in Chapel Hill cemetery. Rev. Donald Stewart, pastor, will con duct the services. NATIVE Dr. Mcintosh was born on Novem ber 3, 1859, at Taylorsville. Davidson college conferred upon him the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1881, the de gree of Master of Arts in 1887 and the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 1923. After a period of teaching, Dr. Mcintosh studied law under Judge David Schenck, of the Superior court, and under B. C. Cobb, a mem ber of the bar of Lincolnton. : He began the practice of law in Newton and then moved to Taylors ville, where he was actively engaged in the practice of law for 15 years. During this time he served as county' attorney of Alexander county and as a member of the House of Represen tatives in the General Assembly. LAW FACULTY In 1904, Dr. Mcintosh was called to a professorship ip. the Law school of Trinity college (now Duke uni versity), where he remained for six years, until he was invited to join the law faculty of the University. When, in 1934, Dr. Mcintosh was compelled, because of ill health, to give up active teaching, the trustees of the University conferred upon him the first emeritus professor ship to be established upon the Kenan foundation. In 1908 Dr. Mcintosh edited a case book on the law of Contracts. In 1910 he collaborated with the late Dean Samuel F. Mordecau, a casebook on the law of remedies. During the com pilation of the North Carolina Con solidate Statutes of 1919, Dr. Mcin tosh served as assistant to the late Dean Lucius P. McGehee, of the Uni versity Law School, in revising the statute law of the state. PRAISED Speaking of him tonight, Dean M. T. Van Hecke said: "The worth, the dignity, and the beauty of life cannot be measured in terms of time. Nor can its enduring values be fully portrayed by a catalog of accomplishments. In learning, skill and wisdom, Dr. Mc intosh was in the true sense the Dean of the faculty of law. More signifi cant, however, than his professional work was the inspiration of his day by day companionship. Through association with him all of us had an opportunity to learn a way of life.'
