Several days ago another wander ing musician paused foot-weary in Chapel Hill. He was a little old red- aced, wrinkled, white-headed man with two old - mandolins and a jolly disposition. He did not make much music, but he made some very good wise cracks, told some strange tales of his travels and his education, and ended by saying to the crowd of stu dents which had collected, "Look at you boys standing around with your hands in your pockets. , Do you think you will ever amount to anything?"

"Co-education harmon izes with the true ideal of University training, and offers as a result a more intellectual and companionable social order,"' said the speaker in conclu sion. Williams, the second speaker of the negative, contended thaTchanges in the business world necessitate a cor responding change in educational in strumentalities, in order to, prepare men and women for. efficient partici pation in the activities of today. "It is through the medium of universal education that the leaders of our na tion hope to free the American people from the last of the clutching bonds of poverty," declared the speaker. In concluding, the arguments of the negative, Albright contended at length that tha preponderance of the weight was on the side of the advan tages. He weighed each argument of the affirmative against an argument of the negative. ."These , scales are not mere weighing devices of pounds and ounces, but the scales of justice to humanity," declared Mr. Albright. In seeking to present the strictly woman's college as an ideal thing the affirmative maintained that the ab sence of men fromthe campus does not make a woman's social life "lop .sided." They called attention to the fact that most women's colleges place no restrictions of the number of dates a woman can have.
