"New York, May 26 — President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University last week urged that progressive members of the Republican and Democratic parties form a “Liberal” party.
His proposal was made at a meeting of the National Industrial Conference Board. He told the board that the Republican and Democratic parties are now practically dead, making the formation of a third, liberal party a necessity.
A suggested platform for the new party would include repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, cancellation or readjustment of war debts and reparations, adherence to the World Court, revision of tariff schedules and a nation-wide unemployment relief program.
Chapel Hill, N, C., May 24 —In a report of a recent survey, The Daily Tar Heel at the University of North Carolina this week revealed that faculty members, rather than students, read “trashy” magazines. Information was obtained from magazine dealers.

ARCHITECTURE DEPT. HOLDS SECOND OF YEARLY EXHIBITIONS
New Fraternity Chapter Organized at Miami U.
A new chapter of Tau Sigma Delta, national honorary frater-n'fy in Architecture and Allied Arts, will soon be organized in the University of Miami. A petition bearing the names of three stu-dents and that of Professor Skinner of the Architecture department has already been sent to the national headquarters, which persons *111 become the charter members °f the local chapter.
Tau Sigma Delta fraternity is imposed of thirteen chapters throughout the United States and one in Liverpool, England. Mem-vship is on a scholastic basis, and 18 open to seniors and to second-semester juniors.
A fraternity delegate is expected !° &ttend the installation ceremon-‘es of the University of Miami chapter, which will take place on une second. The charter members *T be Jewell Hardin, a senior, *na Jack H. Murrah and G. Cole-Nockolds, juniors. Professor ’«ner will become an honorary ■»ember.
The U. of M. girls’ gym took on all the outward appearances and manifestations of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Wednesday night, when the school of Architecture presented its second annual exhibit. The cardboard and concrete of the gym walls were fairly hidden behind an assortment of analytiques, projects, archeological studies, etc.
In all fairness to Prof. Skinner, skipper of the department, we should say that he heads what is far and away the hardest working and most successful section of the entire college. The work on exhibition includes the product of sophomore, junior and senior students in architecture, and the life drawing and sculpture classes.
Many pencil and pen and ink sketches, water colors, and charcoal drawings were tacked up in the interstices between the larger boards. The entire exhibit was much admired by a large number of guests, which included most of Miami’s more prominent architects.
Students whose work was on exhibition are Murray Levine, Jack Murrah, LeRoy Albert, Coleman Nockolds, Walter Gronning, Joe Blacker, Ralph Howison, Carl Apuzzo, Jewel Hardin, Carl Blohm

Among several progressive projects started in the scientific field at the University of Miami during the past year, one oi the most important was the discovery and consequent excavations by Dr. John C. Gifford, professor of tropical forestry and Mr. Franklin Harris, of an ancient ceremonial Indian mound on lower Key Largo.
The full importance of this discovery has not yet been realized. It explains many points concerning the early inhabitants of Florida hitherto inexplicable, but more valuable still are the facts yet to be uncovered.
Another valuable step made was the foundation of a special research library. It has been stocked from the shelves of the heads of the Science department, With rare and valuable books they have collected.
Besides these many almost priceless collections of the science instructors, the library will be a recipient for all the publications of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington. All of the publications of this Institute now in print have been received by the library and more new reference works, books, and studies invaluable to the advanced student will be received a.. sopn as printed.
The latest additions to the library are the publications from the Carnegie Institute at Washington. The material is made up mainly of zoological ano botanical matter and is in the form of volumes of monographs—books on the best scientific research.

The organization, although its ritual and ceremonies have always been secret, avowedly has for its purpose the furthering of the university's interests. Each year a limited number of students are elected to membership in recognition of their outstanding merit, leadership and achievement.
Classes of unusual interest and value offered are: Art in America, . under Virgil Barker, leading authority on the subject; Tropical Forestry, under Dr. Gifford; Economic History of Europe, Dr. Holdsworth; the Evolution of the Short Story, under Marjorie Stone-man Douglas; the Economic Geography of South America, under Dr. Belaunde; Humanism, a study of religion, under Dr. Kaplan; and Zoology of the Sea Shore, under Dr. Miller. These subjects all carry graduate credit.
Students may register in the Registrar’s Office June 7, 8, 9, 10, and Saturday, June 11 until 12 noon. It is recommended that students register on above dates and thus avoid unnecessary delay on June 13, the final registration day.
Three credit courses offered the first period each morning will be conducted from 7:40 a.m. to 9 a.m. All three credit courses offered the fifth period will continue in session from 12 o’clock noon until 1:20.
