Clark Bill Jarman Sunday, September 28, 1930 Female Styles and Male Legs Women began toinvade man's domain of businessin alarming proportions shortly after the Great War. Up to - that time there had been women in busi ness but they were rare. When the invasion began men either smirked or groaned, depending on their previous contact with the female element. - - . . Feminine attire was discard ed for more masculine apparel about this time. In some in stances the change was for the better in other it made the ludi crous ridiculous. The groans did not decrease with the advent of the new styles. Then came bare legs. Men didn't mind the women parading bare-legged if the legs retained their beauty. The women were wise for those who did not pos sess an admirable pair kept them clad in silk. Lately we have noticed a re appearance of feminine curves; and the disappearance of mas culine attire is noted with satis faction. Up until the advent of the bare-leg fad-no attempt of men to emulate women in the matter of dress had been recorded. But now one sees on all sides grotes que pairs of bare legs supporting Heavily bearded boys. They are not beautiful, they aren't even nice to look at. Some and most of them are funny looking, Knickers extending half to the ankle disclose legs curving to meet the shoes or extending out ward as from knock knees. One is instantly reminded of .the menageries of a circus. We do not disapprove of the new male fad. Never having admired the female unclad leg we hope that they will resent the attempts of men to steal their thunder. And perhaps they will return to the silk hose. Then one will enjoy strolling and we think the hosiery manufacturers will see the dawn of better days. Psyching The y a Freshman A psycho-analysis of the aver age Carolina freshman gives one, some interesting observations. By a serious study of his ' in stincts and initial tendencies one comes to understand more clear ly his position in university life, the problems and obstacles that inevitably confont him, and liis natural means of rising to meet situations. Upperclassmen should have a sane and compre hensive understanding of him in order that they may not hinder him in his attempt to adapt him self to their society. The major ity do, but there are those whose raillery and indiscretions some times set the man off to a bad beginning. Diplomacy and pru dence should be exercised in his behalf. 1 .For our purpose we might place the freshmen in the cate gory of the extravert or the introvert. The introverted type being the man who dreams, who meditates, and tends to with draw from the outer world and others into a world of his own, and the extravert as the indivi dual of action, sociable, and well adapted to the world, and its ways. In other words, we, have the man who comes to the Univer sity, seemingly destined to be "green." Green in a sense of in congruity, of a lack of a har monous relationship. He appears to lack the ability to adapt him self, and to all appearances is self-conscious of his actions. On the other hand, we have the man who readily establishes himself, apparently without dif ficulty or effort. Such an ex ample simplifies the explanation of the extraverted type. He is the man naturally endowed with in itative and originality. His prob lems are of a less serious na ture ; therefore his case is of les ser importance. A J. -4-"U ,wvn freshman is faced with the prob lem of creating new friend ships. He lacks initiative, and therefore finds it difficult and often embarrassing. He realizes that he must fall in with the nor mal routine of university life, but his lack of initiative and adaptability make this a trying experience. His natural shyness often causes him to fail adequat ely to express himself in class room recitation. Collectively, his is a situation to demand a sympathetic under standing from those of m6re for tunate endowments ; those whose trials have been met and passed leaving behind an attitude of nonchalance. It is they who look upon the freshmen with a critical discrimination. . Analyse him as a type, not as an individual, and by so doing you will give him a fairer, more sporting opportunity to make himself an ideal university man. Too, by adopting this method you will make yourself a more sensible, more worthy observer of human nature.: W: T. L. ALUMNUS PICKED FOR HIGH HONOR George McDaniels Chosen for Stan dard Oil Executive School. 1 Coming as a distinct honor to himself and to the University, George McDaniel, of Albany, Ga., Carolina alumnus, has been selected by the Standard Oil Company of New York as one of forty men whom the company hopes to train for its future ex ecutives. . Mr. McDaniel, formerly of Henderson, received his A.B. de gree from the University . in 1927. For the pastvtwo years he has been attending the law school here, and holding a posi tion with the University Consoli dated Service Plants as manager of one of its departments dur ing his course of study. During his undergraduate days he played varsity football for two seasons, 1926 and 1927, was a member of tie track team for one year, and participated in other campus activities. Representatives of the com pany this year interviewed seniors in fifty-five leading col leges and universities in the country in order to select forty men of which McDaniels is one.

Egyptian Cuneiform and Papyrus Incriptions Are on Display in New Library; Mediaeval Book-Binding and Copy Of Gutenburg's Bible Shown. Material from the Hanes Foundation on the Development of the Book and from the recen tly acquired Pettigrew Collec tion is, now on exhibition in the first' floor corridor in the gen eral library. The material from the Hanes Collection in the middle exhibit case is chosen to illustrate the early method of producing written records. Here will be found a collection of twenty Babylonian and Sumarian clay tablets. -The scribes of these early peoples who inhabited the Mesopotamian valley between what is now Arabia and Persia, wrote Jby means of a stylus on a handful of moist clay. The me thod of making paper had not yet been discovered at that time, nor was rock, wood, or other commonly used material for receiving writing available in this country along the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Clay, however, there was in abundance. By press ing the corners of a reed into a soft lump of clay, a little wedge sjiaped mark can be made. This triangular impression became the basis for a method of writ DR. MEYER EDITS HANDBOOK SERIES A. S. Barnes of New York Is suing Series of Booklets on Extra-Curricular ctivites. Dr. Harold D. Meyer, of the Sociology department in the Uni versity of North Carolina, is edi tor of an interesting series, of small hand books entitled "The Extra Curricular Library," which is being issued by the A. S. Barnes and Company, New York publishers. According to a statement is sued by the publishers ,the series contains "practical, specific and modern . material based ' upon sound educational policy with suggestions for definite outline of practice and procedure." The volume is a survey of what is being done in the field with, re spect to activities now usually designed as extra curricular. The series is being issued in response to the feeling which has been prevalent for some time that general books now in print on extra curricular activities do not entirely satisfy the demand for material," Dr. Meyer stated. Each book is bound in limp leather and contains about 150 pages, dealing with some speci fic topic in the field of extra curricular activities. Eight vol umes, some of which have al ready gone into the second edi tion, have been released from the press. Many others are now in preparation. Those already published are: "Financing Extra Curricular Activities?' by Harold D. Meyer and S. M. Eddleman; "Thrift LINOIL Beats the Old Scratch for Athlete's Foot (Toe Itch) Get It at SUTTON'S V OUR DINING ROOM is operated for the convenience of Carolina students and their friends Private Dining Rooms Reserved for Banquets, Luncheons, etc. THE CAROLINA JNN TAR HEEL ing known as a cuneiform. Cune iform means wedge-shaped, and the style of writing is so called because the reed impression takes the form of little wedges. The information on the tablets is mostly concerned with com mercial transactions, receipts for the delivery of wool or sheep, etc. Particularly interesting are two tablets which represent the method of preserving the writ ing from harm. The Sumerians used envelopes for this purpose, just as we do, except for the fact that their envelopes were made of clay as was their writ ing material. One tablet is con cealed in a clay envelope bearing the impression of a cylinder seal. The other tablet has had theclay envelope partially chip ped away. These tablets date from about 2300 years before the beginning of the Christian era down to about 600 B. C. The Egyptians introduced a considerable improvement into the methods of writing when they discovered ink and the means of making a kind of pa per from the papyrus reed.

School Of Commerce Combines Business Training With Arts (Continued from first page) commercial and industrial acti vity. For those desiring more intense specialization, the ! school offers courses, leading to a higher degree. Method Not Stressed v Technique and method are not given special emphasis, the stu dents being given only enough to understand how the principles apply. The reason, Dean Car roll explained, is that methods change rapidly and no two firms use exactly the same method. There is thev danger that if a student is taught too much about technique and method, he will make a failure when he goes out into the business world, for he may insist of his particular me thod which may not coincide with that of the firm he happens to be working for. Sometimes, it must be remembered, it's more difficult to unteaph a man than it is to teach him. During freshman and sopho more years, students in the school of commerce follow a path of study which closely parallels the liberal arts course. There is some specialization in the j unior year and a great deal more in the senior year. Rapid Growth of School In establishing such a school at Chapel Hill the University au thorities had in mind the fact that the phenomenal industrial growth in the-South in recent years has produced an impera tive need for trained business men. The school has been pro vided with a large and able corps of- instructors, with spacious quarters in Bingham hall, a new building, and thoroughly modern teaching facilities. Students in the school of com merce major in the department of economics and commerce, and this department has grown from three men in. 1919 to 17 regular faculty members, two teaching fellows, and five assistants in 1930. The enrollment of the school of commerce has grown from 140 in 1919 to 625 this year. The freshman class this fall numbers 220. Graduates Making Good The school does not attempt to maintain an employment bureau, but through their own initiative and with the assistance of Dean Carroll and other member of Carolina Playmakers' 13th Season Seven Playmaker Shows FOR $1.50 Season Tickets on Sale Monday at Book Exchange Students' Supply Store and by" Student Representatives ONLY 900 TICKETS AVAILABLE in order to secure the benefits of our nre !0 f0r ticke" BE SURE to leave your name and address when pur chasing season tickets. - . ' ' ' v All Single Admissions Strictly $1 Sunday, September 28, 1930 the faculty, its graduates have been entering fields in all lines of business for which the school gives training. They begin as apprentices, of course, but have been quick to make good where there have been openings lead ing to executive positions. Dean Dudley DeWitt Carroll, the school's hard-boiled Dean for it's a mighty tough school for those seeking crip courses is a native of Stokes county. He was educated at Guilford and Haver ford Colleges" and at Columbia University. At Haverford and Guilford he and Dean A. W. Hobbs were classmates. Before coming to Chapel Hill he was Dean at Guilford College where he had been a member of the fa culty for five years. It may be safely assumed that his wide policies have been largely re sponsible for the growth of the school of commerce here.
