Two Local Youths Arrested
For Several Overcoat Thefts
Two Seized Friday
Are Released
Under 500 Bond
Two youths, Hoyle McBane, 20, p.
former-student at the University apd
a graduate of the Chapel Hill high
school, and Thomas W. Lacock, 19, of
Carrboro, were arrested last Friday
night by Chapel Hill police who al
lege that the boys had in their pos
session three overcoats stolen from
the University campus, Chief W. T.
Sloan announced last night.
Both were released under $500
bond and were to have been tried in
municipal court today, but their case
was continued for one. week by Judge
A. C. Mcintosh.
Sloan said that officers on his force
had been watching the boys for sev
eral days prior to the arrest, and had
trailed them Friday night when they
started for Durham in McBane's au
tomobile. They were arrested about
halfway between Hillsboro and Dur
ham, Sloan said, and the stolen goods
were found in the car.
THREE MORE COATS
Following the arrest, the officers
were able to trace three more coats
to a Durham pawn shop where they
were confiscated. Sloan said that the
boys readily admitted the stealing
of five coats from the campus but
denied having stolen anything else.
In case the owners of the coats
value them at less than $20, the boys
will be tried in the municipal courts
for a misdemeanor, but if the coats
are valued at more than that amount,
the cases will be turned over to state
courts as felonies, Sloan said.

Collegiate Editors
Oppose Abandonment
Of Trade Agreements
(By ACP)
International trade, and the ac
companying question of retention or
abandonment of v the reciprocal trade
agreements policy of the present ad
ministration, is getting more and
more attention from collegiate edi
torial writers. And their attention, for
the most part, is taking the form of
a campaign for the support of Secre
tary of State Cordell Hull's trade
pacts. There is little or no sentiment
for abandonment of the pacts as pro
posed by some congressional leaders.
Here is a review of the college
sentiment of the Trade Agreements

The Evansville College Crescent:
"To date, under this act, the state de
partment has entered into 22 of these

CAMPUS PRIMARY
BILL NOT FORCED
FROM COMMITTEE
Campus Will Decide
On New Provisions
In Spring Election
By GENE WILLIAMS
The Student legislature last night
voted unanimously, with 40 present
out of the total membership of 48, in
favor of the new constitution presented
to it last week, and also defeated Chuck
Kline's motion to bring out of the ways
and means committee's hands the bill
providing for primary elections, by a
vote of 21 to 19.
The bill providing for primary elec
tions was introduced last week by
Kline with the purpose of democratiz
ing campus elections. The ways and
means committee considered the bill
two afternoons of the latter part of
last week, and by a vote of 3 to 2 de
cided to report the bill unfavorably to
the legislature. After the committee's
report last night, Kline made his mo
that the bill be brought out of the
committee's hands and heated argy-
was finally taken by "ayes and nays."
After the new constitution was ap
proved by the body a vote 37 to 3 in
favor of the constitution's being put
to general campus elections in the
spring was made. Nominations will
be made for the new positions formed
by the new document, and will be
placed on the ballots with other nomi
nees. Ihen if the new constitution is
passed the officers for the new posts
will take their seats; if it does not pass
the elected persons will naturally not
hold office.
The constitution accepted by the
body provides for a membership of 50.
Representation will include three mem
bers elected' at campus elections from
each class (neither a campus or class
officer) ; 14 from the interdormitory
council elected by the council ; five
elected from and by the interf raternity
council; one from each of the follow
ing: law, medical, and pharmacy
schools; one non-officer of the Wom
an's association; one from the Pan
Hellenic council; one from each of the
women's dormitories ; six town students

YMCA CABINETS
HEAR MSS TERLIN
Speaker Points Out
Christian Duty
'To say nowadays that 'the earth
is the Lord's and the fullness thereof
is sheer mockery," asserted Miss Rose
Terlin, economics secretary of the
National Intercollegiate Christian
council, in her discussion of "The Re-
ation of Christianity to Modern Social
and Economic Life" at the supper
forum of the junior-senior and fresh
man cabinets' last night.
Economic life has taken on the form
of an increasingly smaller spiral which
continues to leave out more and more
men without sufficient livelihood, she
said. The result has been man's loss
of dignity.
Consequently, never before has
there been so great a need for a pro-
phetic,
arousing voice from the
Church to give people something to
give their lives for. And the Christian
God alone is worth giving oneself to."
The duty of all Christians, Miss Ter
lin pointed out, is to. restore to man
his former dignity by democratizing
the economic and social life.
Miss Terlin took a prominent part
in the American Youth conference in
Washington last week. She has re
turned to the United States only re
cently from Europe and China where
she has been studying and working.
She is also former secretary of the
World Student Christian Federation.
