DEBATING SQUAD
HEARS MR. JIM
IT?
Professor Explains Kinds and
Processes of Reasoning at
Meeting Last Night
The debate squad in its regu
lar meeting last" night heard
George McKie who is in charge
of -public speaking at the Uni
versity talk on inductive and de
ductive reasoning as it is ap
plied to debating. Dr. J. M. Bell
who was scheduled, to address
the group was unable' to appear
due to illness.
-Mr: McKie explained what
the different kinds of reasoning
are and showed how the same
mental processes are followed
by the child learning not to eat
green apples and the scientist
classifying a new substance. He
admonished the debaters always
to rid themselves of their preju
dices before preparing for a de
bate. He said "We must learn
to think with our minds instead
of our prejudices."
Mr. McKie showed how the
great Judge Choate. was capable
of having the federal inheritance
tax declared unconstitutional by
the use of a simple syllogism.
He closed his address with the
advice, "Don't memorize speech
es. Learn thoughts and make
your audience think them with
you as you re-think them."
At a meeting of the debate
council last night, correspond
ence with N. C. State was re
viewed. It is probable that

DRi E V. WILSON RETURNS FROM
t STUDY OF SPONGES AT NAPLES
Spent Year Under Auspices of Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research m Zoological Station Founded in 1870 by
Anten'Dohrn, German Naturalist.
By Virginia Douglas
Dr. H. V. Wilson of the Uni
versity' of North Carolina
zoology department is just back
from a year's stay in Naples,
where he worked in the zoologi
cal station there. The station is
a marine laboratory on a large
scale. We wondered if it were
a result of the recent revival of
Italy, a national institution, na-,
tionally supportedBut Dr. Wil
son explaned that the station had
been started in the 1870's by a
German naturalist, Anton Dohrn
and that much of the support
had come from foreign govern
ments and private institutions.
It became national only after the
war. ,
Was Mussolini responsible for
the change, we wondered. But
) an p'fffict cannot, nrppprlp a raiisp.
It was made a national labora
tory before the Mussolini re
gime. Has it suffered in any
way by being so taken over by
the state? He said it had not,
that it was as efficient as ever. A
board of trustees and Italian
financial support have been add
ed, but it is still, in a sense, of
the house of Dohrn, since the
founder's son is director. 1
What is the purpose of the
place,xwe wondered. And this is
what he told us. It is a marine
laboratory, aquarium, and lib
rary with no teaching, no eco
nomic side. It is devoted to pure
science and research. No classes?
No classes. ? ,
Well how do they determine
who may and who may not work
there? Various governments and
institutions subscribe for
"tables." There are about twenty
of these as a rule, sponsored by
Germany, Italy, Belgium, etc.

T PEP MEETING
Cheerleader Arthur Urges Stu
dent Body To Attend Meet
ing in Gerrard Hall.
Chief Cheerleader Billy Ar
thur has called a pep meeting to
be held in Gerrard hall tonight
at " 9 o'clock. President Frank
Graham will make a short talk,
after which cheers will be prac
ticed. Coach Chuck Collins and
the team will probably be pres
ent. ' ' , -
In announcing the meeting
Billy Arthur said, "We, had a
dandy meeting of the bunch in
terested in the Cheerios Thurs
day night. There were about
three hundred out and they al
most broe the windows in Old
West. Most of that bunch were
freshmen but7 with the wireless
advertising they did, the whole
student body will probably he
out today. They sure better be,
'cause they're expected!" '
The cheerleaders especially
urge all freshmen to come to the
meeting tonight for they will be
in a specially, reserved section
at the game. The leaders plan
to drill the men in all the old
Carolina cheers and hope that
those who have not learned them
previously will attend tonight's
meeting. Arthur and his as
sistants have asked for a little
cooperation so ' that such criti
cism as was heard after the
Wake Forest' game will not be
j ustified - tomorrow. - . i
the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research. He is a mem
ber of its electing committee.
The United N States, formerly
supporting four or five tables,
has only two now. Why, we ask
ed. Dr. Wilson explained that
we had become too interested in
ourselves and that we now had
stations of our own.
Is there any particular advan
tage in working in the Bay of
Naples ? There is af decided advantages-two
of ; them. The
fauna is exceedingly varied and
the water is clear. But there are
not so many of a kind. Too little
food. Most of the fauna, (the
term fish would exclude jelly
fish, star fish, crabs, and the
like) , are bottom-living in water
six, eight, ten, or fifteen fathoms
deep. Most of the work is done
in fifteen fathoms of water, so
a dredge is the plausible answer.
When they dredge for you, are
they looking for anything in
particular, or simply for what
ever may happen to be there?
Dr. Wilson explained that there
was a particular object, and.that
when they found it they charted
it. Then if there ace jelly fish
in a particular place today, they
will be there tomorrow ? We were
very conservative in saying to
morrow, for they will probably
be there next year, if the colony
is not exterminated. . V
Did you go there to study any
thing in particular, or just
everything? Goodness, he could
not study everything. He was
investigating the cellular be
havior of sponges. Did you find
what" you wanted to find ? Not
everything. "A man who doesn't
want to find more than he does
f ind isn't much of a man'."

HOBBS LECTURES
TO LIBERA! ARTS
FIRST YEAR MEN
Dean Hobbs Discusses Fresh
man Faults in Short
Talk.
A. W. Hobbs, dean of the
school of liberal arts, met the
freshmen of this school in Ger
rard hall yesterday morning.
Dean Hobbs talked on points
which he considered to be help
ful to the new men. He began
by saying that too many fresh
men come to college with the
idea of making an impression,
usually by showing how disor
derly and unconventional they
can "be. "Toughness is in no
jvay respected ; to give the im
pression of swagger and brava
do is a mistake." He requested
that all freshmen give the mat
ter thought, choose the right im
pression, and then make it.
Next he cited that education
is not merely - attendance of
classes but that it amounts to be
coming a reader. "To get by
with as little work as possible
is throwing away one's educa
tion," he said. "Don't wait un
til later life to realize this ; find
it out right now.''
The next consideration was
the behavior of the student body
at public gatherings. Dean
Hobbs asked the support of the
freshmen' in showing to visitors
the utmost courtesy. Last year
at various sports meets our stu
dents jeered the opposing team
when it scored. "This is the
height-of bad sportsmanship
and creates a very bad impres
sion of the University. Let's
bring forth an entirely differ
ent attitude this year."
"Doing assigned work on
time is an important factor to
wards a happy and , prosperous
life at the University," Hobbs
announced, "and a freshman!
should apportion his iime to ac
complish . this." ;:;"
"Form a. definite idea of the
work you wish to carry out.
Come up next with a well form
ed opinion of your courses,
then you will not, register in a
careless way. . Think . about
your program and direct it ac
cordingly." "Putting off work is very de
structive to a happy college ca
reer. Freshmen, before they
know it, get into serious trouble
because of this very thing.
Don't put off your problems but
face and figure them out now."
As to the fraternity rushing
season and its effect on stu
dies, Dean Hobbs says that fra
ternities are all right but that a
man's work should be placed
first in the order of importance.
"Everything on the Hill is sec
ondary to study which after all
is the object of one's coming to
college" was his comment.

of our -fellow alumnus, Frank

GREEN PUBLISHES
A NEWJflSTORY
History Professor Writes on the
Constitutional Development
In South Atlantic States.
Dr. Fletcher M. Green, asso
ciate professor of history in the
University, has just published a
book, " The Constitutional De
velopments' of the South At
lantic States, for the period of
1776 to 1860. The purpose of
this work is to- analyze the so
cial, political and economic fac
tors involved in the formation
of the original constitutions of
the states of Maryland, Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia. Dr.
Green traces the development
and discovers the influences lead
ing to their amendment and re
vision. He determines as far as
possible which, if either, of the
two - theories - concerning the
presence or absence of Democ
racy in the constitutions is cor
rect. Green spent two years in re
search preparation for his book.
He found that the two theories, ,
namely : that the government
had been run by the aristocratic
planters, and that the govern
ment was based on - representa
tion were neither correct in
their entirety, but that both
were true in part.
Dr. Green is now preparing a
book on the life of General Duff
Green, writer, foreign diplomatic
agent, and editor of the Wash
ington Telegraph.
