in office to put Virginia on a firm

luncheon by Dr. Havilah Babcock,
professor at the University.
As he described it the first step
was a complete reorganization and
consolidation of government boards
and bureaus followed by a concentration
of power in the executive. A
special feature of the plan was that
whereby a unified accounting system
of accounting was introduced and
financial matters were so. simplified
that a daily report of the financial
condition of the governor could be
filed with the governor. In case of a
deficit the budget commission was empowered
to reduce expenditures accordingly.

At Ga. Resort
Miss Well man And Miss Aycock
Met President Elect At
Warm Springs
Two Carolina co-eds will be especially
interested in the inauguration
of Franklin Delano Roosevelt on
March 4.
These two girls, Miss Mary Stewart
Aycock, freshman, and Miss Ruth
Wellman, sophomore, had the pleasure
of knowing Roosevelt personally, having
met him on many occasions while
vacationing at Warm Springs resort.
Both co-eds seem impressed with
the president elects' strong, vivid personality
and his athletic physique.
Miss Aycock was particularly impressed
with his broad powerful shoulders
and athletic frame. And he is
an athlete, says the other, Miss Wellman.
As a swimmer he is excellent,
delighting especially in water polo
and water football. His powerful
stroke, she says, easily makes him the
outstanding aquatic star of the resort.
He rides quite a bit and makes a
fine figure on a horse.
When you are talking to him, the
two girls said, he makes you seem
just as important as he is, his personality
making it impossible for one to
be self-conscious in his presence. The
most distinguishing points about him
are his infectious smile, his laugh, and
his voice. He is an impetuous conversationalist,
with a pleasing tone of
voice and clear, cultured enunciation.
These three qualities, physical appearance,
interests, and personality,
mark him out as a born leader of men
and a friend not easily forgotten.
