An excellent case in point is Canada's addition to the University of North Carolina fresh man class, James Shaw, who was lured into the South by a Baltimore friend visiting in Toronto last August. Knowing little or nothing of the University prior to that time, Shaw was so greatly impressed by his friend's recommendation that he put in his application at Chapel Hill soon after ward. Now after spending slightly more than two months on the Carolina ampus, he has become one of the Uni (Continued on page 4, column 5) YOUNG DEMOCRATS WILL HEAR EURE SPEAK TONIGHT Secretary Of State Of North Carolina Is UNC Alumnus Thad Eure, Secretary of State of North Carolina and University alum nus of the class of 21, will speak to night at 9 o'clock in Gerrard hall at the meeting of the Young, Democrats club. , The youngest man to post his candi dacy for an office decided by state wide Democratic primary, Eure has been prominetat in state politics since his election as mayor of Winton, Hert ford county, one year after receiving his law degree from the University in 1922.

Graham Memorial at 7:30. The first of a series of ASU bulletins will be distributed and com mented upon. The bulletin deals with civil liberties and other matters of general interest.

PLAN RELEASED FOR POST OFFICE CAMPUS BRANCH Sub-Station May Be Located In South Building The Student Advisory committee, medium between the students and the administration, yesterday disclosed de tails of their recommendation, concern ing a student post office, which will be handed to the admnistration the end of this week or the first of next week. The post office, as planned, is to be centrally located on the cam pus, . to simplify delivery probelms and to give students quicker and bet ter service. At present, the plan is to put the post office in the basement of South building. Other sites have been con sidered, but since all students pass by South several times every day, it is considered preferable to place it there. The office will be similar to a branch office t which Teceives and sends out mail directly. It will be supplied with parcel post, stamp, and mpney order windows, and will have 1545 individual boxes. NO DORM DELIVERY ) If the plan is adopted by the admin istration, it will mean that the present system of mail delivery to dormitories will be discontinued. In the past diffi culty has been experienced in pre venting students from opening other boxes than their own since the combina tions are easily worked out. It is now also possible to reach through one box and take mail from the box next to it, If boxes are taken' out of the lower quadrangle it is probable that the long desired telephone booths can be in stalled. Dormitory L which has ho de livery at all; K, whose managers dis tribute the mail to eachN room; and dormitory H which has pigeon holes supplied, in the store will all profit directly from the new plan. The new system will mean five de liveries each day, instead of the two at present. Mail will also be put in boxes on Sundays and holidays. For this added service, however, it is prob able that a box rental fee will be charg ed to the students who will have key boxes instead of the present combina tions. The plan will call for approximately (Continued on page 4, column 5) t Riot Of Color Foreseen For Chocolate Bowl Grid Classic Here 0 ' Barring earthquakes, hurricanes, an other Carolina-Duke football game, or other major catastrophes, the colorful classic of classics, the Chocolate Bowl, will be held on Fetzer field tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock when the Dusky Devastators from the Orange County training school clash with the Ebony Eleven of William Penn high school of High Point.

NO OFFICIALS Officials for the contest have not as yet been selected, since all past ones have either inherited six feet of earth or lie maimed in veterans' hospitals, and all likely prospects have deserted for more quieter regions along the Franco-German frontier. The game promises to be one of the best fights since Napoleon had it out at Waterloo. Ambulances from nearby states began arriving yesterday to take care of the crowd. Last year the two teams played for 10 minutes without using the ball.

"I Wish I'd Never Said That' Lament Rotary Clubmen "Whatever you put into it comes out and how," is a lesson learned by sev eral prominent Chapel Hillians last night at a Rotary club banquet in the Carolina Inn. The "it" referred to is a recording machine, fiendish device owned by the public speaking department and oper ated by Professor W. A. Olsen of that department. Olsen set the machine up at the banquet last night and had the unsuspecting members answer a num ber of embarrassing questions into the microphone, questions which con cerned personalities "well-known on the campus and in town. The record was played back imme diately for the amusement of the audience, and some of the group, evi dently not on the record, became con vinced that it was too amusing to be confined . to such a small, group and that the record should be played at the Carolina theater, tomorrow night. An auction was held and the record bought by Bill Scott of the Service In surance agency, who turned it over to E. C. Smith, manager of the theater ( Continued on page 2, column 2) Frosh Undertake To Educate Entire Family -s Riddle Blasts State Democrats Before Young Republicans "Up until 1928, the Republican minority was so strong that the Demo cratic majority was afraid to pull any foul tricks, but since that time the Republican party has decreased while the election laws of North Carolina have become more corrupt at each election," said J. Bennett Riddle, Jr.,' of Morganton, chairman of the YRC college organization, in an address to the local YRC Tuesday night. Mr. Riddle, past president of the YRC of North Carolina told the Young Republicans that North Carolina Re publicans often cast 43 per cent of the vote polled. r After his talk, the members joined in a discussion with Mr. Riddle. He suggested many , ideas that Secretary Mashbum recorded for future use. Health Officer Criticized After Forum Sunday In reply to charges made by Dr. Donald Stewart, the Daily Tax Hjxl, and several students and townsfolk, Dr. William P. RicharOion, county public health commissioner, last night issued a statement explaining action which was taken by the health and welfare departments in presenting in formation concerning living condi tions in and around Chapel Hill on last Sunday evening's Union Student forum program. Richardson was first rapped for al legedly backing down from his origi nal promise to present case reports to the forum, either in the form of a skit or merely a reading. In explaining his action before the program the health commissioned stated that "the health and welfare departments can not with propriety reveal living con ditions as they exist in and around Chapel Hill," and that the two depart ments could not be used as charitable organizations. The text of Dr. Richardson's let ter to the editor of the Daily Tar Heel is as follows: "To the Editor of the Daily Tar Heel: I should like to express my apprecia tion of the fair attitude expressed in your editorial in Wednesday's Daily Tar Heel. In reply may I say in the first place that, as I understood it, the question at issue relative to fhe program Sun day evening was not one of withhold ing or revealing any set of facts, but of the best way to acquaint the stu dents with some of the social and eco nomic problems encountered in Chapel Hill and in. every other com munity in the country by health and welfare workers. In the second place, the program presented was agreed upon after thoughtful consideration at a meeting of a representative group Sunday aft ernoon. Ample opportunity was given for questions, and anyone interested in having any specific conditions re vealed could have accomplished this by asking questions about them. The record of the Health Department is consistently one of making known facts and conditions, because only in this way can efforts be stimulated which, will bring about improvement. We have cooperated with and in return are receiving the cooperation of every community agency in any way inter ested in community betterment, and of countless individual citizens. The past year has seen an impos ing list of sanitary menaces eliminat ed. Half a dozen groups and organi zations have made large contributions toward meeting specific types of needs, and there have been many more modest contributions from both town and com (Continued on page 2, column S) DTH Business Staff All members of th Daily Tab Heel business staff meet in the business office at 7 o'clock tonight.
