JOYNER EXPLAINS
STUDENT COUNCIL
TRAINING SCHOOL
Course Will Teach
Officers Best Way
To Carry Out Jobs
Stressing the need for able adminis
trators in all campus activities, Jim
Joyner, ex-president of the student
body, yesterday explained . what the
Student Government conference, to be
held from May 15 through 19, is'striv
ing for.
The following is the full text of
Joyner's statement: "New officers all
too often are at a loss as to how to take
hold and perform their jobs. Of course,
they have their ideas for constructive
work in their respective organizations,
but there is the matter of administra
tion and of routine work which they
must learn.
OFFICERS ARE LEADERS
"The majority of these officers in re
sponsible positions throughout the
campus are the leaders, those who de
termine the trend of the campus, and
who make student activities what they
are. They are in the most strategic
positions to be of invaluable aid in
making the honor system work, and of
being of influence in getting the right
kind of attitudes about student gov
ernment, student activities, participa
tion, responsibility, etc.
"These new men need information
about parliamentary and other pro
cedures. They need some background
and history in order to get a compre
hensive view of the set-up of student
activity of which they are an official
part. I am speaking of fraternity of
ficers, literary and debate groups, dor
mitory leaders, student government,
and publications men and women. It is
certainly true that this group of ad
ministrators and executives .ordinarily
never get together for discussions such
as the Student council in collaboration
with Graham Memorial is sponsoring
in the Officer's Training meet May 15
through 19.
"It is our hope that they will gain

Nethercutt, Rippy Are Officers
GERMAN EDUCATOR
WILL SPEAK HERE
Baron To Discuss
Florentine History
Dr. Hans Baron, who was dismissed
in 1933 by the Nazi government from
the University of Berlin where he was
professor of medieval and modern his
tory, and who has been elected to the
chair of history at Queens college in
New York, will speak on "Economic
and Social Aspects of Florentine Ren
aissance" in Graham Memorial at the
University Thursday evening at 8:30,
it was announced yesterday. ;
Dr. Baron1, one of the most outstand
ing world scholars of the Italian Ren
aissance and the Calvinistic Reforma
tion, will come here under the auspices
of the University Division of Human
ities and the Department of History.
RESEARCH AND LECTURES
Since 1933 he has done research and
lectured in England and recently has
delivered lectures at Yale university,
Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Duke, and
the Universities of Chicago, Wisconsin
and Iowa, and at the Metropolitan Mu
seum of Art.
His scholarship is unique, it is said,
in that he attacks his subjects from so
ciological and economic points of view
and attempts to clarify the interrela
tions of politics, sociology and econom
ics with religious and cultural life.
Among noteworthy aspects of Dr.
Baron's study, it is reported, is the un
usual development of the textile indus
tries in Florence and their influence
on cultural life.
Since 1924 he has published 15 arti
cles in various learned journals in Ger
man, Italian, English and American,
and has written two books. He is now
preparing two more books for publica
tion. '
Directors Meet
The University board of directors

ten four popular novels, the first of
which, "Drums," deals with the Amer
ican Revolution.
His second novel, "Marching On,"
is a Civil War story laid in North Caro
lina. Bjyd attributes his skill in the

the fact that the" back-country North

are "Long Hunt" and "Roll River."
His appearance here will be the third
presentation of the Carolina Arts

Olsen, Gilmore And
Hudson On Program
By RUSH HAMRICK
Approximately 400 seniors, some
with dates, some without, eathprprf
in Swain hall last night to conclude
the opening day of the Senior Week
festivities with a Senior banquet.
Freddie Johnson and his 12 piece or
chestra furnished dinner-dance mu
sic for the gala affair.
Felix Markham carried the election
for permanent president of the class
of 1939. Running against Markham
were Voit Gilmore, Jim Joyner and
Frank Wakely. For vice-president,
George Nethercutt came out on top
over Allen Truex, Bud Hudson and
Bill Hendrix. Fred Rippy is the per
manent secretary-treasurer, 1 winning
over Vaughn Winborne, Bill Cole, El
mer Nance, Brooks Patten, John Ran
kin and Paul Thompson.
OLSEN SPEAKS
Professor Bill Olsen was the prin
cipal speaker of the evening, his top
ic being "Marriage and Breath Con
trol." Students attending the event
were really kept in an uproar of
laughter by the humorous jokes and
limericks of Professor Olsen. He
said, "You will have no financial dif
ficulties if you practice breath con
trol. JDo not marry beauty and
charm." As he donned a hat, suppos
edly that of a mortar boy, Olsen, with
the aid of his imagination, took the
audience to Kenan stadium where he
gave "advice to the lovelorn" and
"advice on marriage."
The invocation was pronounced by
Professor Howell, who is acting as
dean in the place of Dean S. H.
Hobbs who is on leave of absence
from the University. ,
The main program began while the
dessert of the three course dinner was
being served. While his band played
Kay Kyser's theme song, Freddie
Johnson opened the program with an
imitation of Kyser's Musical Klass.
Contestants on this skit were Prof es

AKG TO OFFER
COED LOAN FUND
FOR UNC WOMEN
Sorority Arranges
To Obtain Money
From Contributions
Alpha Kappa Gamma, national hon
orary woman's fraternity, is making
plans to establish a loan fund for
women on the campus.
Miss Kathryn Fleming, president
of AKG, explained that this loan fund
is not simply another project for 'a
project's sake but is being sponsored
to fill a definite need as there are few
scholarships open to women at the
University and no loan fund of the
type AKG plans to establish.
GIRLS NEED FUNDS
She said, "There are many girls
on the campus who do not have enough
money to tide them over from month
to month until the next check comes
in. They can only apply to the YMCA
for help. This fund will give them a
definite source of money and save
them and their friends from worry."
To build up the fund, AKG plans
a drive of the entire campus. The
program will be under the direction of
a committee headed by Miss Betsy
Clark with co-chairmen in each dormi
tory. There will also be a place for
contributions set aside in the YMCA
and the committee will send mimeo
graphed letters to those professors
whom they think might be interested.
Fifty cents or more has been set as
the minimum or goal for each contri
bution. SMALL INTEREST RATE
Miss Fleming said that the very
small rate of interest that AKG plans
to charge for the use of the loan as
well as interest from the bank would
be turned into the fund in hopes of
building up enough money for a schol
arship for a woman student. She con
cluded by emphasizing again the need
for financial aid for the needy women
students and said, "We will need the
cooperation of the whole student body
if the project is to amount to any
thing." :
