It's No Blarney, Either Collector Declares Ireland Is Last Refuge Of Romance By BILL RHODES WEAVER "Ireland is the last refuge of ro mance in Europe today," Seamus O'Duilearga of Dublin, collector of Irish folk tales now touring the United States declared while drinking a "dope" at the Carolina inn this morning. "First refreshing drink I've had in America," the thirty-nine year-old grey-haired Irishman commented. "But to get back to Irish folk tales . . . there's more to be said about our belief in fairies. The Irish are the only sane people over there. The other coun I 111 ixHl .1 i t jSit. 1. r : .ov:- -4 ?? 'Hii GRAHAM URG1 FEDERAL AH) TO EDUCATION President Speaks To 2,000 Teachers In New York City Addressing approximately 2,000 school teachers of the metronolitan area at the Hotel Astor in New York ! yesterday, Dr. Frank P. Graham, president of the University and mem bor of President Roosevelt's Advisory Committee on Education, made an analysis in behalf of "justice to rural America in general and the South and West in particular" and urged, "as one definite practical step toward a more balanced and prosperous Amer ica, federal aid to the states for more equal educational opportunity of all American children." CHAMPIONS BILLS Dr. Graham vigorously championed the bills introduced by Senator Elmer Thomas and Senator Pat Harrison in the Senate and by Representative Larabee in the House. He emphasized "the justice and de mocracy of basing the allocation of federal funds on both the economic ability of the states and the number of children of school age in the states." AUTONOMY He pointed out "the unreserved pro tection of state and local autonomy and control. by specific and manda tory guarantees in the unmistakable provisions of the bills. "The clear language of the bills," he said, "also removes any basis for any alarm about federal interference with established state autonomy in the matters of race and religion." TWO BILLIONS The two billions now spent by states and localities for J public education will, under the bill, continue to be spent as the states and localities de termine, he explained. The forty millions proposed for fed eral aid to the states will be spent "as determined by the states except for the two simple provisions that this small federal equalization supplement will be distributed democratically among the states and equitably be tween the races," he said. tries are arming themselves to the teeth . . . .and I have no illusions. We must rush to collect our folk mate rial before it is too late." There was a note of sadness in his husky, low voice as he said that. f YOUTH RISING In Ireland, according to the collec tor, modern youth is rising, and the old Ireland and the art of story tell ing is passing away.

FROSH WILL HOLD MEET TOMORROW ON ASSESSMENT Committee Favors 25-Cent Levy For Annual Dance Set At a joint meeting of the freshman class committees held yesterday aft ernoon, it was unanimously decided that a bill will be presented to the class in assembly tomorrow morning pro posing that each man attending the freshman dance be assessed the sum The Student council has called an important meeting of freshman chapel tomorrow morning at 10:30 in Memorial hall. The council will have charge of the program and will explain va rious features concerning the cam pus Honor Code. of 25 cents for the bid. This slight ad ditional revenue will be absolutely necessary in order for the class to pre sent a successful dance according to J Bill Shore, president of the class, and 1 Larry Lerner, president of the dance committee. The suggestion that this bill is pre sented to the class was unanimously agreed upon by the committee mem bers as it was pointed out that due to the limited funds now in the class treasury a dance could not be present ed without additional funds. Included in the bill will be a clause stating that any member of the class desiring a refund from the class dues paid at the beginning of the quarter can secure this sum, which will be about ten cents, from the audit bureau of the University. NOT COMPULSORY Shore emphasized the point that only those students desiring to attend the dance will be required to pay 25 cents for the bid and that the addition al fee is not compulsory to the entire ciass The " reason' for this emergency is that the class failed to realize what it expected on the movie sponsored last week and that due to the expense in volved in the freshman smoker held re cently, the class funds have been found insufficient to pay the expenses of a dance. FACULTY TO MEET AT INN TOMORROW Club Will Probably Be Formed -Olsen Action will be taken at a meeting of the faculty tomorrow afternoon at the Carolina inn on the offer from the University of quarters for a faculty club. The meeting will be at 4:30 and the faculty committee appointed to investi gate the proposition will make its re port. Dr. W. A. Olsen, chairman of the committee, said yesterday that it was an "overwhelming probability that a club will be formed." Dean R. B. House summarized the history of the idea In the following statements: 1. Archer house will not be needed next year as either a men's or woman's dormitory. 2. Perenially the faculty discusses the idea of a faculty club but the club or its purpose have never been defined. 3. Most of the faculty members have never agreed that a club was necessary because Chapel Hill is only a village and faculty homes can be used for entertaining purposes. 4. Carolina Inn serves at present as a convenience to the faculty, and one of the new additions to the Inn is spe cifically available as' a lobby or club room. . , 5. Finally, there is the advantage of having a club house with dining facili ties and bachelor quarters for mem bers of the faculty. The question now is whether Archer house is practicable or desirable. There is no proposition before the ad ministration. r Miss Wang's Class Will Not Be Given , Miss Elizabeth Wang's course in Chinese philosophy, which the faculty had considered making nart of the regular school curriculum, will not be given during the approaching spring quarter. "Administrative difficulties stand in the way," said Dr. Emory of the philosophy department. i n ? 'if ,'t r i IV. ) I I ) i i'i A J 1 1': i ; S ,
