SCORNS COMPACTS Carolina Delegate Tells Story C Girl Who Never Uses A Compact It seems that Carolina is not tli only school that has different and lit usual personages in its midst, such a the "Sophomore who stuns Stoic Sti dents." A delegate from Carolina t the College Press Association had tli unusual fortune of having a date wit a girl from G. W. C. who never tak< a compact with her, in fact, accordin to her statement, never has carrie one with her. The young gentlema was inclined to doubt the veracity c her statement, but luckily she po! sessed enough persuasive ability t prove to not only this individual In several others, that she had never i her life practiced the art. And from a appearances she seemed to be as ir teresting to look at as any Carolin Co-ed who has one on her person at a times, and whose pocket-book bt conies deplete from having to replei isli lost ones or ones "taken" by tli boys. "All hail the girl from G. W. C. Who never "compacted" to take see." sITS UPI Debaters Meet Monday Night Debating* Council Announces Partial Schedule And Other 1 Plans For Year A meeting of those intending to gc out for the debating team was hclc in the law building November 26th Wilson O.

The campus law was forj mulated because of the rapid growTh of Greek society bouses not at the [ University proper, and not under di" rect supervision. It is similar to that ~ at other large universities. * Heretofore there has been little rca straint placed upon such residences - by University authorities, they having ? allowed each house oil the campus to " make its individual rules. The new ' regulation is the outgrowth of a feeling that some identical rule should govern all fraternity houses, instead of having each make such rules as it * sees fit. The statute has always applied to " fraternities and sororities having club rooms on the campus, so that the pres" cnt regulation is merely an extension of the old one to cover houses off the ? campus, not numerous until this year. It is the first direct move on the part s of the faculty to deal with the houses, 1 however. ? In an interview, Dean L. T. Baker l? of the University stated that this step * on the part of the faculty was not precipitated by any incident or occurrence, but was a precaution against c comment at large. He maintains that c this policy, now in its incipient stage, is best for the University to follow in view of the rapid increase of fraternities and fraternity houses. Some unjustified criticism of the lack of rej straint by University authorities has arisen, Dean Baker said, and the present action is to obviate comment r of an adverse nature in the future. ^ The regulation as addressed to all 's fraternities, sororities, and clubs of the University by the fraternity cominittee, is as follows: "Your attention is respectfully called to the following regulation enacted by the fraternity committee of the University in session Tuesday, November . 19, 1929. This regulation is to become effective November 27. "The fraternity committee of the University discountenances the frequenting of fraternity houses by unchapcroned women in general, and \ specifically and especially forbids the visiting of women after the hour of , 7 p. m. during the first semester, and after 8 p. m. the second semester and summer session; and that for all social ? functions of any character, whether '! formal or informal, the fraternity ,l which is acting as host shall submit to Dr. Ralph K. Foster, chairman of the fraternity committee, at least two days :t in advance ; list of chaperons suitable y to the Univci sity." 'c The clause concerning fraternities ' applies to the last letter to sororities >? also, and a specific clause dealing with the girls' organizations is included in ? the complete ordinance.

Pritchard, senior law student and member of the State legislature, gave the society sonic sage advice in a short talk. Probably the most enjoyable event j of the program was a group of songs rendered by Professor Kershaw Walsh * to the accompanymcnt of himself on { the guitar.
