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."

CO-EDS TABOO IN
FRAT HOUSES NOW
AFTER SIX BELLS
First Direct Move On Part Of
> Faculty To Restrain Frats
1 With Houses In Town
Co-cds will be barred from the club
( rooms and parlors of fraternity houses,
5 and men from the sorority dwellings ,
i after 7 o'clock at night, under a regu:
lation passed last week by the fraj
ternity and sorority committee of the ^
1 faculty. 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. Signatures of
Dr. Ralph K. Foster, chairman, John
A. Chase, Jr., T. F. Ball, L. T. Baker,

STAFF
iPONSORS BARRED
FROM 1930 ANNUAL
acuity Committee To Decide On
Salaries For Heads Of
Garnet And Black
No pictures of sponsors' will apear
in the 1930 issue of the Garnet
tid Black annual, it was announced
y Robert Wauchope, editor-in-chief,
fter a student body meeting Friday
t which the matter was left to the
iscretion of the annual staff. A moon
that salaries he paid the editor
iid business manager of the annual
as referred to the faculty.
The resolution offered by A. C.
lenient, that the staff of the Garnet
nd Black be allowed to manage the
ublication at their discretion and
itliout interference, was passed by a
trge majority of those present at the
lecting. It read "That the student
ody go on record as expressing its
ppreciation to the annual staff for the
xtensive efforts it has made to prouce
a creditable year book; and that
express in them the utmost condence,
leaving entirely to their dis-etion
the contents of the 1(.)30 Garnet
nd Black."
Wauchope, in speaking for the
lotion, said that the annual staff had
Iready built up its book without armging
a place for the numerous
ponsors. He added that the sponsor
ustom had been discontinued by the
irgcr colleges, and pointed out that
lieli a move was in the interest of
conomy.

At Conventions
lalsey Attends Two Widely Separated
Publication Meetings
During Past Week
Traveling more than 2,000 miles
luring the past week, Ashley Halsey
las attended two conventions as repesentative
of the University and its
irgani/ations. Mr. Halsey went first
o the University of Missouri, where
>igma Delta Chi, journalistic fraterlity,
held its national convention over
period of three days, and then to
he annual meeting of the State Colege
Press association at Greenville.
While at the University of Missouri
dr. Halsey assisted in arranging the
nternal affairs of the fraternity, an
>rganization of 44 chapters with 5,000
lienibers, and also took part in con'ention
sessions, both in discussion
ind on committees.
An award concerning members of
he local School of Journalism, the
iresentation of Sigma Delta Chi
scholarship keys to the ten per cent
>f journalistic graduates who stand
lighest in their class work, was considered.
The names of Carolina stulents
will be submitted for such tocens
of ability, all students of news>aper
work being eligible whether or
lot they belong to the fraternity.
A favorable decision was accorded
lie petition of Temple University, at
Philadelphia, for a chapter of Sigma
Delta Chi at that institution, which
ias good standing in the journalistic
.vorld.
The national body also passed a
resolution demanding that steps be
taken by the press to avoid a recurrence
of the incident at Washington,
D. C.f where three reporters were
jailed for contempt of court. The
bill as passed asks that the judge who
tried the journalistic defendants for
contempt of court shall not be the
same who brings the charge, thus
eliminating personal animus.

building at Missouri, and especially by
