Thursday, February 7, 1929 THE T A II HEEL The Campus ,. By Joe Jones Our campus is essentially a creature of moods. . It lives and moves and has its; being in varying qualities of the gamut from ecstasy to despair. It is changeable as the weather and as sudden in its variations. , There is the homecoming campus of September; when friends are hand-to-hand in greeting; when hearts are light and optimistic; when freshmen are the veriest initiates, happy and bewildered at once. This, is the glad, hopeful, bustling campus. Then we have the humdrum every day campus; interesting or boring, according to what one makes of it. Its days and hours are oiled with the lubricant of routine, making theni to run smoothly, though somewhat mon otonously. This is the campus of work, play, eat, sleep; work, play, eat, sleep. There is the carefree, hilarious campus of big footballday with its accompanying dances. This is the collegiate Mardi gras, dryland regat ta, and Feast of Xianterns combined. Whether in victory or in defeat it is given over to uncurbed merrymaking. Its rumbling crowds, its hawkers crying their wares, its twenty-two knights jousting in the bloody lists, its sound of revelry by night, all hark back to the medieval tournament day. It is the campus in its gayest gala attire. . Some love it best of all. There is the red-eyed campus of exam week work, work, work; bone, bone, bone; grind, grind, grind. One may sense the grim depressive spirit in the very air. This campus is in deadly earnest, stern and quiet-mouth ed- Its back is against the wall, and it has forgotten all save staring down the 'wolves of failure and ineomple tion. It is a fitful sleeper with dark circles under its eyes. It has no lovers. HYEUIVMSITY ROFESSOBS WILL Nine State Agencies Cooperat- ing Professors Groves, Bag by, Graham, Crane, and Meyer To Represent University. There are a thousand and one other moods to this storied campus of ours the spirit of graduation week; of summer school; of the happy holiday beginning days; of brief, hurried -mourning in, time of tragedy; of tense waiting at- the time of prize fight or election-returns broadcast ing time. There are more. Nine state agencies are cooperat ing in the second annual Institute on Parental Education to be held in Ra leigh February 13, ,14 and 15, accord ing to R. M.

PRESS PUTS NEW BOOKS ON SALE One By George Bryoh Logan, Former Research Librarian at University. But there is one which few sons of Carolina have come upon, and which is hard to let slip by with only, pass ing mention. . This is the mood of the quiet and deserted campus which' hovers over the Hill for a fortnight at Christmastime. Remaining on the Hill during the midwinter holidays is a distinct adventure, this thing of finding solitude where before one has known only irksome turmoil. The complete change from perpetual con fusion to serenity in one's habitual haunts is more profoundly soothing than is the same change of atmos phere accompanied by a change of surroundings. It is like something strangely square to forest without moving a step. There is something strangely new about a suddenly peaceful Chapel Hill, a suddenly quiet campus. - Quadrangles silent and dark save for starlight and moonlight are to be remembered longer than quadrangles noisy with inmates and ablaze with study lamps. Old oaks and august buildings deserted and peaceful, lie closer in the heart than a campus active and agog. But this, no doubt, is a matter of introspection. Class To Celebrate Fiftieth Anniversary TTnivrsitv Graduates of 1789 Will Have Reunion at Commencement. One of the most interesting events scheduled for the University com mencement this spring is a reunion of the class of 1879, which was the first four year, class to graduate af ter the reopening of the University in 1875. In this class upon gradua tion there were eleven members, and when the seven surviving members meet here in June they will be cele brating the fiftieth anniversary o: their class.

TCI" A tm TtTfi TO HOLD WE!M Interesting Prcgram Including Address on Timely Topic Has Been Planned. The Cercle Francais will hold its next . meeting in the " social room of the Baptist Church Friday evening, February 8, at 7:30. An attractive program is being planned. This will include an address on some timely or interesting topic given by Dr. J. C. Lyons. Following the talk, a quar tet made up of members of the French department will sing some popular songs from French "musical comedies, written by Maurice Cheva lier, -and, Mile. Mistinguette. This feature of the program has been postponed from .... previous meetings because those taking part were not able to meet, at the same time. -It is certain, however, that they will be present Friday. In addition to the singing," a few selections from fa mous operas as well as some lighter French songs will be heard through the medium of- a victrola. It us urged that more conversation in French be indulged in by those attending the meetings. This would not only enliven the atmosphere, but would greatly aid each one who makes an attempt to express himself in the language. One should try to speak more French and come to the meeting with more of a vocabulary than "Bon soir" and Bonne nuit." Debate Team Chosen To Represent Carolina In Forensic Combat m? ff n ttt n rtTv:. m r i i ii feH lii ill USEJMMCE : M SAVING GRASS Grey Tells First Year Men It Is Up to Them to Preserve Campus Beauty. The publication of several books hat were announced in the Fall list was delayed but are now on sale. These books are: "Liberty in the Modern World" by George Bryan Logan, Jr. Mr. Logan was a former Research Librarian at the University of North Carolina, and he held that position until his death December a year ago. "Welfare Work in Mill Villages" by Harriet L. Herring. This book con- ains the story of extra-mill activi ties in North Carolina. It deals with problems connected with the Mills and Churches, mills and schools, and discusses the economic activities of the people of North Carolina. "Public Poor Relief in North Caro ina" by Roy M. Brown. How North Carolina organizes and administers its public poor relief and what things it might do differently such is the scope of this carefully , documented volume. It grew out of the author's association with the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, for which he made his original survey in 1925. His analysis . of the develop ment of public poor relief in the state from colonial times to the present makes a needed addition to our know ledge of public welfare. This book compares North Carolina and Vir ginia in this relief work and explains some changes that have been, and are being made in the relief work. It shows the tendency to depart from poor houses by converting them into hospitals. , " Debate Class Will Hold Meeting Tonight The debate class will hold its week ly meeting tonight at 7:30 in 201 Murphey. The query to be discussed is: Resolved that the United States should enter the World Court with out reservations." This question will be used in coming contests with Em ory University and possibly the Uni versity of Texas. ' The meeting will be somewhat dif ferent from the usual type of debate class meetings, as two members of the Law School faculty will conduct a general discussion. Usually the lecture method is ''used. Bishop Mouzon To Speak Here Sunday Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon, of Char lotte, will preach at the Chapel Hill Methodist church next Sunday morn ing at 11 o'clock. Bishop Mouzon is in charge of the third Episcopal dis trict comprising North Carolina and South Carolina. This is his first sermon in Chapel Hill. As a result of a debate try-out held Monday night two teams were chos- en to represent the University of North Carolina in forensic combat with Marquette University and the University of the South. J. C. Wil liams, of Linden, and E. H. Whitley, of Pantego compose the affirmative team which will debate with a team representing the University of the South at Sewanee, Tenn., on the night of March 2. W. W. Speight of Spring Hope, J C. Harris of Inez, and H. H. Hob good of Bunn compose the negative team which will vie with a team rep resenting Marquette University at Chapel Hill on the night of February 18. . The query to be used in both con tests is "Resolved that the public should own and operate the hydro electric .power plants of the United States." "The Carolina campus, said to be the most beautiful in the south, is be ing ruined by the many paths that are being beaten across the grass, said Mac Grey, president of the Y. M. C. A. in a chapel talk Tuesday morning. "The faculty or the grounds committee cannot make us keep off the grass. The thing depends en tirely on the students." In urging the Freshmen ,to try to create a sentiment for" keeping off the grass, Grey said that the Fresh men are the ones who have not yet formed their habits of campus ac tions, and that they better than any other class can put the proposition across because they will be here for three years more. "At one time there was a rule that anyone who walked on the grass paid a fine of a dollar, but that rule was removed when it was thought that the students had 'enough pride in the campus to stay off the grass of their own accord. This pride was shown for a while, but the spirit of it has died down, and now there are paths across almost all of the grass plots on the' campus. ... ; Grey also said that other schools have beautiful grass that is kept in such a condition by the spirit of the students. At Davidson and at the University of Virginia, if anyone walks on the grass, someone shouts at him? The result is that the grass is always well kept. What is needed here is a spirit similar to that at these two schools.
