Staoent Legislature last night as. a

:erdi morning at the YMCA.
n an unusually listless session for
he normally very potent and prolific
Quakers, the legislature also abol
ished Tar an' Feathers and ordered a
revival of the Buccaneer, appointing
Ut McMaster as editor to "make
j -
:h: r.ag sexy again."
Representatives Harward and San
:ord tad threatened a filibuster bloc
iioaisst the mag bill, but they were
iD?eied by support of their bill to
revive the cheerleader from the cam
pus ballot. This bill, passed last
nir. by a 6-3 vote, leaves selection
f tne entire Carolina cheering squad
to Pavid Clark. '
Or,!y three and one half, hours of
Jebite and fifteen readings were re
quirtd to pass the Hobbs-Taylor dis
qualification record time for this
year's legislature.

The disqualifications bill was sup

Peeyew Board
Hoists Wages
Ulterior Motives
Suspected in Move
Meeting at the back booth of Harry's
last night where they could be alone
the Peyew board decided to raise the
salaries of all officers on student pub
lications to hitherto unprecedented
figures (except in the dreams of the of
ficers). . . - -
The paycheck of the editor of the
Daily Tar Heel will now total $8,000
a year, with a bonus of $50 for each
charge of radicalism or conservatism.
The managing editor, because he has
. . 1L 1 A J
a smaller aesK cnan me eauor anu
hence less foot room, will receive $15,-
000 a year, with no bonuses, since he
denies nothing except the charge of
laziness.
The salaries of the business manager,
reporters, night editors, and chamber
maids have been jumped $300 a piece,
bonuses to be paid for each misspelled
name, mistaken address, and misrepre
sented fact.
The editor of the Rag will get a
salary of $6,000 a year. He will be paid
an extra $2,000 for every time he leaves
mm
Chanel Hill to take over a jod up
4
north.
The Tar an' Fuzz editor is to be paid
S6.000 also, with the suggestion that
if he wishes, an appropriation of $500
will be made to send to Ernest Craige,
honorary member of the magazines
staff.
The editor of the Yackety Yack will
e-et S10.000 a year and an appropria
tion was made providing funds which
he may use to purchase a camera and
go out and get snapshots of campus
life and death himself, since he seem
ed unable to get enough of such pic
tures from outside sources.
The Peeyew board also passed a reso
lution firing all present officers of stu
dent publications and taking over the
running of the newspaper, magazines,
and annual themselves. It was sug
gested by authoritative sources that
the purpose of this move was in order
that the increased salaries may be kept
within the family. It is also hoped that
in this way the profits of the publica
tions may be keptrat a minimum.
Benny Goodman Shuns
Kenan Professorship
The Music department announced
yesterday that the proposed course in
modern. jazz appreciation, scheduled
for this quarter, will not be offered be
cause of failure to secure the ser
vices of famous band leader Benny
Goodman.
A special message arriving via carrier-pigeon,
stated that Goodman
would be unable to conduct the course,
as originally intended, because of previously-made
contracts with the Basin
Street Four, a select, group of musi
cians who assemble to play chamber
music.
Love-Bugr Epidemic
Raging an Campus;
Hundreds in Bed
Dr. Brown of the Public Health de
partment in collaboration with Doctors
Berryhill, Morgan, Hedgepeth, Wilson,
and Stone of the infirmary, were high
ly elated last night after their success
ful isolation of the filterable viru$,
bacillus amourus, the deadly source of
passionitis. . I
On consulting the Encyclopaedia
Dogpatchia it was' discovered that the
bacillus amourus is a small indefinable
xenogenesii which acts like a phlege
thon in that its magic charm is sup
posed to excite love, medically termed
passionitis.
Enthusiasm ran riie in the State
College hospital and other great medi
cal centers wKen this amazing miracle
of medical microbia was made known
to the world.
Tonight at 2 o'clock all students
registered for the spring quarter will
report en masse to the infirmary, there
to receive a hyperdermic of synthe
tically prepared amourus bacillus
which will curtail the raging epidemic
of passionitis decimating student class
attendance. With the infirmary, Gra-
Vinm mpmnrifil nnrl Tvenan stadium
overflowing with patients, the currentl
controversy, over cuts has been in
flamed as more and more students fall
before the advancing epidemic which
is undermining campus morale.
Students inoculated with the anti
toxin will be forced to return to the in
firmary daily for the period of one
week to report to a doctor in secret
conference any peculiar urges exper
ienced or unusual places frequented
as a result of the serum. Absolute con
fidence will be enforced and docu
mentary reports will be turned over
to a subcommittee of the student coun
cil in order that the honor system may
prevail.
Symptoms of passionitis include an
uncontrollable twitching of the left
eyelid and other parts of the body,

No Foolin'
Not as sensible as most of the things
in this morning's paper, these actual
ly happened yesterday: .
The student legislature killed the bill
to take the head cheerleader from stu
dent body elections, moved this year's
voting date to April 22 and passed a
bill for a fixed elections date.
The Woman's Association nominated
Mary Caldwell and Jean Hahn for next
year's president.
Tar an' Feathers met to elect a staff
nominee for editor, but, lacked a quo
rum. They'll try again tonight. -
The Di, Phi announced they would
meet tonight. Debate tryouts were an
nounced for the Grail room at 9 o'clock
and a philosophy lecture by Professor
Robert Browning for Gerrard hall at 8
o'clock.
S and F Yields to Peppier
'Student Leaders Biologically Naive,'
Acquiescing to recent campus criti
cisms that they were "biologically
naive," the officers' of Sound and
Fury resigned in a body last night
and turned the activities of the club
over to a group ef older and more ex
perienced entertainers. The new show
wfll be written, produced and directed
by a five-man board, composed of
Fred Weaver, George McKie, Inez
Stacy, Francis F. Bradshaw, and
Frederick H. Koch.
Carroll McGaughey, retiring presi
dent, explained his action saying, "I
am sorry that it has come to this, but
I "believe it is for the best interests
of the club. We have honestly tried,
but without a background of personal
experience it is practically impossible
for us to write risque material that
will measure up to the mature stand
ards of the new board. It's all for the

IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH. That's the theory University trus
tees operated on yesterday when they voted to completely consolidate

demonstrated above, indicates the expansion of intellectual achievement
that may be expected. !

Fred Weaver, . who has ' a desk in
the assistant dean of students office,
and Richard "Fish" Worley, known to
his friends as "Fish," yesterday ex
changed positions, and Weaver im
mediately assumed the title of director
of Graham Memorial.
Worley said that he would occupy
his new position as assistant dean of
students next fall.
"My only task will ,be to check
freshman attendance in chapel," Wor
ley declared. "The psychological and
philosophical impact on the minds of
the freshmen whose attendance is
scrutinized is such that I must rum
inate at length on procedure and
methodology."
He will vacation in Wisconsin un
til next fall.
"I am happy to be exalted with this
honorable position," Worley said as
he packed his other shirt preparatory!
to departing.
Weaver, too, was highly elated.
When first notified of his new office
he broke into a complicated clog
dance, wringing the dishrag, thread
ing the needle, and doing the four
leaf clover as he expounded at length
on his plans.
"We will introduce square dancing
in the student union," he asserted.
"Let me interrupt," a reported in

ican Federation of Labor or Congress
for Industrial Union?"
"Yes, you may interrupt," inter
rupted Miss Mabel Mallett,
"O. P. O.," Weaver said as he
wrung the chicken's neck. "But to go
on with my plans: we have secured
the services of Dean R. B. House to

best I suppose."
Sanford Stein, former script and
lyric writer, said simply: "I'm flatter
ed to death. Do you know I didn't
even know I was biological until this
came up? It is a great relief to turn
over the writing of the script to
George McKie, who has such a charm
ing sense of humor."
Fred Weaver's comment on the
change was brief but significant.
"Well be lots sexier," he said with
an upward intonation and a delicate
lift to his eyebrows.
Francis "Fanny" Bradshaw, was
much more explicit. "The trouble with
the old group was simply that their
philosophy was misguided. Younger
people have a tendency to beat around
the bush when it comes to sex, but
we will not make any pretense. We'U
dive under the bush."

CPU Presents
Triumvirate
Roosevelt, Halifax,
Rogers Accept Bid
President Roosevelt and Lord Hali
fax promptly wired Bill Joslin, CPU
chairman, late last night, that they
would "too happy to appear" tonight
in an open forum discussion with Man
fred Rogers, president of the campus
IRC.
In a joint statement the President
and Lord Halifax said, "We feel that
we can not afford to miss this interest
ing debate with Mr. Rogers. -We are
dropping all political and legislative
duties so that we may obtain the bene
fit of his views on the current world
crisis."
The acceptance of the President and
Lord Halifax came as an anti-climax to
the affnouncemerit that Rogers would
consent to speak.
The President together with his
British guest will arrive at the Hill
this afternoon in a plane Aowti by
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. Lind
bergh will land his special plane at
the recently completed 607 acre, $210,
000 University airport, but has de
clined to take part in the discussion
between Rogers, Lord Halifax and the
President.
Lindbergh's refusal, to take an ac
tive part in the debate ...was taken in
some quarters to mean that the trans
atlantic flyer was still in mild disagree'
ment with the President or Rogers.
"There is no doubt that the guests
will arrive," said Joslin, "in view of
the 100 9t attendance that CPU speak
ers have shown this year. We are not

Leadership
Says New Board
The chorus routines of the old club
were brought under fire by Inez Stacy,
known simply as "Nezzie" to those
who love her. "They're just one long
grind," she said. "I am looking for
ward to my new career. Sound and
Fury has been the making of many a
coed." ' ,
Collaborating with McKie on the
writing of the script, Koch was ve
hement in his condemnation of former
shows. "These youngsters refuse to
write about what they' know. I will
not be guilty of that and boy, what
I know!" Koch was also critical of
the "artiness" of previous Sound and
Fury shows. "There's too much so
cial significance in their folk plays,"
he said. "We're just going to get
down to earth."
McKie, as usual, said nothin, but
said it extremely well.

Carmichael Hopes
Men Won't Object
To Inconvenience ,
Meeting in a special session yester
day, the board of trustees of the
Greater University voted to complete
ly consolidate the Woman's College
at Greensboro with the Chapel Hill
unit of the University in the interests
of economy and efficiency of adminis
tration. Long-discussed in official circles and
defeated once when proposed several
years ago, the transfer is designed to .
reap the benefits of a merger already
made, but in name only. .
It was pointed out that the courses of
study and the requirements of the two
institutions are virtually identical and
that a great saving could be made by
the unification.
Controller Carmichael said that the
spectacle of Carolina students turn
ing out en masse at Greensboro eve y
week influenced the trustees in t J'.r
action.
"This mass hitch-hiking is danger
ous," the controller said. "With every
one located in Chapel Hill, just like
one big happy family, everyone will be
safe."
He also pointed out that it is bene
ficial for the Woman's college girls to
have male students on the campus.
"Some of them never see a boy," ha
said. "We are being true humanitar
ians." ' ,
Carmichael outline(T plans 'for ex
pansion. Alumni, Old East, New East,
Howell, and Davie halls will be torn
down in order to expand the Arbore
tum, he said. The much-discussed
double tier 6f seats in Kenan stadium
will be built, and a court of four Gim
ghoul castles will be erected. It wa3
reported that the Bloody Bucket will
open eight new establishments, in
cluding a "super-bucket" at;'the pre
sent location of the YMCA. Car
michael foresaw no immediate need for
enlarging classroom space.
"If we notice any increase in class
attendance, we will take action," ha
stated. "We will also be surprised."
State Education
Board Asks DTH
To 'Love-Feast'
"Because of a deep community of
feeling," the state board of education
yesterday extended an invitation to the
entire Daily Tar Heel staff for a
"love-feast in Raleigh tonight.
"We have so many things we want
to talk over with you," the letter said.
"We are seeking the most prominent
and entertaining speakers possible to
provide your ente'rtainment.
"For example, we already have sign
ed Mr. Jule B. Warren, the noted his
torian, and former governor Clyde R.
Hoey. We thought they would be the
strongest possible enticements to get
you away from your greatly-beloved
newspaper."
Since the letter did not mention what
was on the menu, members of the
paper yesterday expressed doubt that
they would attend.
A late rumor from Raleigh report
ed that an unusually large supply of
hatchets, axes, arsenic, and guillotine
salad were shipped into the capital city
last night.
Stein Appointed
Matron in No. 1
Sanford Stein, well-known campus
gad-about, was appointed by Mrs.
Jane S. Cobb yesterday to be (social
assistant in Dormitory No. L
"He is such a cute little thing,"
she said. "Our long years of friendly
association should be climaxed by
this opportunity for working hand in
hand. I'm sure he will be able to
take fine care of all my, girls."
We shipped Adrian Spies off to
Cuba; how about giving Witten a
one way ticket to Sumatra.
