PARAGRAPHICS
"Vote today or forever hold your

last night by their boldly daring to
debate with three women !
Duke University is' planning

Duchess, we suppose, even though she
be only a funny story or a dirty joke.
This pre-election period is about as
strenuous for campus politicians as

And the worst of it is' that there is

Every time we see . Duke or State

the University that our only simi
lar custom is the occasional wearing
of little black "literary" caps.
This' year being the one hundredth
anniversary of Henrik Ibsen's birth;
it is especially fitting that the play
"An Enemy of the People" be pre
sented by local dramatic talent sort

Davidson College has passed
ruling that lights in the dormitories
may now be left on all night. "Le

we suppose in order that the students
might spend even more time study

Ibsen may have been right when his
"Enemy of the People" declared that
the "compact majority" is always
wrong but Al Smith or Herbert
Hoover will be glad enough to have

A novel stunt is being tried at the

That particular problem of at
empted exclusiveness is prevalent
at most colleges. Here at Carolina
it has as yet secured no,, stronghold,
but present tendencies denote a possi
bility of leaning in that direction
which should be halted before it goes
too far. The members of each fra
ternity naturally are inclined to draw
closely together and sever their ties
with outsiders, but this should not
be , carried to such an extent that

The very fact that a man finds most
pleasure in associations with one cer
tain group of people usually is evi
dence of his likeness to that type of
individual. He should not, however,
confine his attentions' or limit his
time to those from whom he will gain
no new experience nor secure an un
derstanding of other points of view.

Bissell did no less ably by his text,
for he was deft enough to keep his
part out of the caricature into which
Ibsen occasionally let it slump.
The acting of these two recalls
locally the mountain women of

and if it did lack some of Elizabeth
Taylor's . unself consciousness well,
living the : role is still another art

An Inane Resolution
Concerning the White Elephant
The resolution adopted by the
Dialectic Senate last Monday night
surpassed even the usual Di and Phi
resolution in sheer inanity. It read
"Resolved, that the Di Senate go on
record as favoring .. immediate com
pletion, of the Graham Memorial."
The most unsophisticated of fresh
men knows that everybody on the
campus favors completion of ; the
Memorial as soon as it is conceivably
possible. Yet the long series of
negotiations relative to the structure
has seemingly been at an impasse for
two years or more. The alumni
have wished the white elephant off
their hands, and have attempted to
officially turn : it over ' to the Uni
versity. -The trustees are unwilling
to accept it,' as they believe it wise
to refuse' the responsibility attendant
upon title to the Memorial. , They will
not recommend an appropriation from
the legislatures with which to com
plete it, as they believe classroom
structures; and dormitories should
come first. The key has been wished
off upon the contractor, and he is do
ing his darndest to get rid of it,
since possession of it lays him open
to liability for any damages that may
occur to the building. ' ; . ,
The question of a possible solution
of the Memorial problem is one that
will require intensive study, rather
than asinine resolutions to the effect
that one of the four-hundred odd
campus organizations favors its
completion. GLENN HOLDER.

The road patrol men would not be

realized that the speeding automo

the least dangerous type on the

An Assessment . r ..
Of Edison ; ;
.;. (New York World) i
We have long regarded Mr. Edison
as unique' in. the versatility of his
inventive genius, and we shall better
appreciate . him if 'we realize, -that he
will. probably seem more striking still
to future generations. He may loom
up as the last of the great individual
inventors. More and more invention
is passing into the hands' of endowed
institutions, industrial laboratories
and cp-operative groups, who bring
to a focus the latest devices in.?
dozen fields of science. The automo
bile had a thousand inventors. Tele
vision, with all respect to Mr. Baird
and Dr. Alexariderson, is developing
from the labor of great industrial
interests. Mr. Edison did much to
usher in the. new approach to inven
tion, f or his first modest wealth went
into laboratories. But his many-sided
talent made him a host in himself.
The inventor often has a specially
happy reward in living to see the
transformations which sprang from
his mind. Watt saw the steam engine
bring in the industrial revolution;
when Stephenson died in 1848 the loco
motive had overspread the . Occident
and Westinghouse saw his airbrake
and alternating-current system uni
versally used. But few if any inven
tors have witnessed such changes as
those to which Mr. Edison contribut

Forecasting -(From'
the New York Times)
." The betting may be 3 or 4 to 1
against Smith in Wall Street (which
does not necessarily mean that any
money is being put up), but among
Democratic editors outside New York
' there seems to be a confident feeling
that a Democratic landslide is coming:
In one mail the Times has received
the predictions of one Georgia editor
and an editor in Kansas. The
Enquirer-Sun is the Georgia paper
its editor Julian Harris; and he tabu
lates a minimum of 268 vote's for
Smith. In the doubtful column he
puts Oklahoma, Maryland, and Con
necticut, proving that he is not f ol
lowing will-o-the-wisps in his claims
Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota, Mon
tana or New' Mexico, although he
says that he thinks some of them will
be in the electoral list.
Nonsense Has Its Place
We lately read a piece in the Geor
gia Eaucation Journal entitled Raps
Insane Conversation With Children,
in which an "expert", Mrs. Jessie C.
Fenton, was quoted as commenting
scathingly on the insanity of much of
the conversation adults direct at chil
dren. We wondered why . Mrs. . F.enton '
did not include in her remarks of de
rogation the inane conversations which
adults often direct at ' each other.
What Mrs. Fenton obviously lacks is
the ability to appreciate nonsense and
to rate it at its proper value. Intelli
gent adults do not always converse
with each other about, philosophy or
Shakespeare and- the musical glasses.
Even savants have been known to
make jokes and to say foolish things
to each othe'r and to their - inferiors.
Why not, then, say foolish things to
children, if the spirit moves ua to do
so?' . ; .!
Juggling the Figures
Probably the happiest man, for the
time being, is the one that can ana-
yze what; he wants it to show out, of
the straw vote, regardless of what
it really shows. Oho State Journal.

that it, was participated in by two men

William and Mary
v Students in Favor
of Hoover in Poll
WILLIAMSBURG, VA., Nov. 4
William and Mary students are about
divided on the Smith-Hoover arsru
ment, if The Flat Hat, student news
paper, straw poll caii .be considered
indicative. ', ; Unfortunately,' however,
it cai hardly, be considered indicative
since but ,128 of the thirteen hundred
students here bothered to turn in a
vote during the two . weeks, i
The final result showed 65 ballots
were cast for Herbert Hoover, Repub
lican nominee, 61 for Alfred E. Smith,
Democratic nominee, two., for Will
Rogers, independent, while none of
the lesser candidates received any
votes at all. ; The two for Will Rogers
evidently came, from a Will-Rogers-f
or-President-Club on - the r. campus
which so far has' two buttons out
among the students and one among
the faculty. . -
Little interest was shown for the
most part among the students, after
the poll was carried over a week and
attention was called to the few votes
the first week.

A complete tent city, populated
by more, than 300 selected citizens,
was erected on a Southern Calif or

The camp was erected almost
overnight, but so efficiently was the
work done that Director George

and players. .
Removed a half-mile from the camp
was the flying field, including a com
plete replica of a British air squad
ron's field in France during the war.
Practical hangars, machine shops,
mechanic's quarters, supply . sheds,
field officers' headquarters, a hospital
and other buildings were a part of
the building equipment. ' ;
-The camp itself numbered 80 tents.
Each tent had wooden - floors and
sides, rugs, mirrors, gasoline lamps,
a wood stove, a distilled drinking

windows, and a shower bath piped
with hot and cold water. When
