S. G. Chappell, President of the Student Body, in a speech at chapel exercises Tuesday, September 22, definitely stated the position to be taken by the Student Council on the problem of drinking, on and off the campus, by Carolina men.
In opening, he stated that it was his duty, from time to time, to make known the general policies of the council to the student body. Satisfied that the response of the student bod on the question of hazing would continue to be satisfactory, he contented himself with just a passing mention of this subject.
Then, observing the general proneness of the human race to alcohol, she saw the university as no abnormal exception. But, he continued, we, as a responsible body of the finest youth of the state, should see to it that the law of the land, of the state and of the campus is observed. Search of the records showed that in 1916 the council resolved to act against any act committed by a student which was detrimental to the University. In the past, disgraceful cases of drinking had been reported from Durham, Greensboro, and other neighboring cities. This year the council will assume the trial and punishment of such offenses. This was no new departure from student government tradition on the campus.
Mention was also made of the lack of consideration showed by the men who play their phonographs or other musical instruments late at night.
