C"The Creative Impulse" it was par ticularly gratifying that none of our creative college ; spirits had the im pulse' to leave in the midst of the lecture as they have done at certain times in the past. We heard last night that a' num ber of students thought - Sherwood Anderson was the same man as the Sherwood Eddy who lectured here last year. So now we wonder wheth , er the full house came about because - of or in spite of this erroneous con- ception. If Calvin Coolidge witnesses the Carolina-Virginia game Thanksgiv ing, will he inspire the players to de clare "I do not choose to run?" Mr. Junius Harden has retracted his statement that 300 to 400 unquali f ied University . students voted on November 6. Perhaps "he discovered that even 300 to 400 additional votes would not secure his election. If this new faculty orchestra makes as much ungodly noise practicing as do some of the other orchestras around here, there's one more black mark for some student recording angel to chalk up against Mr. Pro fessor. . ' - A Keen Awareness - "Creative men are aware of all a bout them," declared ' Sherwood An derson fri his lecture Thursday night. University Jife is ofttimes accused of withdrawing its votaries from the current of active life and drowning them in a stagnant academic pool. The classroom becomes a substitute for the world; the library calls at tention away from persons. That keen awareness of life, that vivid eagerness to observe and to under stand which comes as a gracious gift to the few creative spirits, is too often smothered by the dry-dust of college routine. Learning has its place, but should not be permitted to escape its legiti . mate bounds and become an end in itself. By recalling thelife nd his tory of the past it can be made to recreate former lives and in so doing to increase the understanding of present life. History and literature are the records of past lives and thoughts. Their usefulness in the present is their ability to shed il lumination on the action and thoughts of today. ... .Let the learning acquired in col lege, - then, not he employed as so much encyclopedia space but rather as an' interpreter's tool to be used in facing present problems! If the student is to-be a creative force in the affairs of his community 'after graduation from the university, he must first arouse himself to. an ac tive interest in whatever is going on around him. Books in themselves must not satisfy. The world makes other demands and chief among those demands is the sbarp and clear' call for keen awareness of life in all its phases of abundant richness. The campus and the dormitory augment the clasSroom in , providing a labora tory wherein the individuality of per sons may be studied and the processes Of life observed. Such is the educa tion leading" to the birth and develop ment of an awareness of -life, which is an essential characteristic of the creative man. - ADipIoma Is Not Enotiffh . . The value of a college education has many times been a subject of dissension. But the worth of a' col-. lege diploma can hardly be disputed. It is accepted by those who believe that a college education is valuable as a sort of fetish; they engage in genuflections before it and doff, their hats to its proud owner. . There are others who question the worth of a diploma and who, in fact, dispute the; very worth of a college career tself. They1 believe that" those people who aspire to intellectual learning are justified in pursuing knowledge for a i term" of four years - after the fashion which our colleges an& univer sities set. They perceive the limit ed courses which are offered and the narrow confines of the sub jets. The average ' student," they say, dabbles in literature, fingers timidly the ; sci ences, and ends his career with small sips from the languages. ,. To a certain extent these people are right - A college career is often a mere rippling of the waves in the great sea of intellectual truth. The average student does not search for truth he accepts, as a matter of fact, that he may acquire it by at tending his classes five times .a week and by listening to the theories pro pounded by his professors. He de ceives himself in his search and al lows himself to be persuaded that he may reach the bottom of the 'fathom less pool of intellectual truths by fol lowing stereotyped instructions. He never becomes discouraged with him self; he smiles knowingly, pats him self on the back, and continues, to fol low instructions. T- ; But there is more to college than the mere routine of assigned ' work. There are dusty by-ways and obscure trails leading' off from the straight, short path. There are ways filled with unremembered beauty and truth. x The library is an important part 'of the university life. On its shelves one may rediscover forgotten knowledge, and find new truths. Be tween the covers of dusty books one may find those, things"; of which he has dreamed but never, seen. To find truth, one must search.. He must not allow himself to traverse the beaten path and pass beyond the walls of his alma mater satisfied that he has ac- quired the all-powerful knowledge and content with himself. ' .

Ball, chief designer for the Gorham Silver Manufacturing Company of Providence, Rhode Island, will be here Monday evening under the auspices of the art department of the community club. The meeting will be in the Pickwick Theatre at 7:30. There will be a' moving pic ture showing the manufacture of sil ver from ore to finished product, and also' a lecture on the history of silver making, some ) famous silver smiths, and welll-knpwn patterns in" silver. Mr. Ball is a middle aged man who has spent all his business ife in de signing silverware, and is well pre pared to speak, with authority on this subject. The public is invited. Emstein says two of his passions are playing the violin and absolute solitude. Well, we don't know any easier way a man can achieve the latter than by doing the "" former. American Lumberman.

Suspended Students Must Leave Chapel Hill in 48 Hours The faculty, at its last meeting voted that all students suspended for disciplinary reasons must leave the campus and the city of Chapel Hill within forty-eight hours after suspension unless .he is a bona fide resident of Chapel Hill. The chance of petitioning the faculty for reinstatement in the University will be auto matically forfeited by such stu dents whohave been so sus pended. . This rule is in vogue in all the reputable colleges and univer . sities, but this marks the first official recognition given it by the University: here. The fac ulty Executive Committee will enforce the ruling approved by the whole faculty. Dr. H.D. Meyer, ' head of the de partment of Sociology, is sponsoring an Extracurricular Library , for the betterment of extracurricular activi ties throughout the nation. There has been a feeling for some time that the general books now in print, about extracurricular activities are not meeting the requirements. In order to make a more thorough and practical contribution to the field, Dr. Meyer has arranged with the A. S. Barnes and Company of 67 W. 44th St.,. New York Cityt' pub!is"h1 a series ot books on extracurricular activities to be known as the Extra curricular Library. Each book is to contain not more than 120' to 150 pages of practical, specific and modern material based upon sound educational policy, the original library will start with 14 volumes but more volumes will be ad ded as soon as the material can be ar ranged and corrected. The original 14 are: Organization and Adminis tration of Extracurricular Activities, Financing Extracurricular Activities, School Club Practices, National Agencies Aiding Extracurricular Activities, Student Participation in School , Government, Home Room Activities, New Assembly Programs, Physical Education, The Point System and Awards, Music, Dramatics,.

Gentlemen'.- ; Having been a user, of Edgeworth for over eight years, I can truthfully say that it is the best on earth. I am enclosing a little ditty that I believe impresses my sentiments entirely: Old Man Joy and Old Man Trouble Went out for a walk one day. I happened to pass, when they met . " on the street And I overheard them say, Said Old Man Trouble, "She's as ' wrong as she can be, There ain't no fun in anything to me, why I was just talking' to Old Man " , Sorrow, And he says the world will end . . tomorrow." Then Oldr Man Joy, he started to grin, And I saw him bring out that . OLD BLUE TIN, Then OLD JOHNNY BRIAR was next on the scene, And he packed him full from the OLD BLUE TIN, And I heard him. say as he walked away, "You have to have a smoke screen v - everyday. When a man gets the blues, and he - needs a friend, : He can find consolation in the OLD BLUE TIN, And I jist don't believe on all this .. . earth There's a thing1 that'll match good ' old EDGEWORTH."
