Ferreting Out
The Blame
The meager showers of criti
cism that commenced to fall up
on the Carolina football team
and Coach .Collins immediately
upon the .. loss of the Georgia
game waxed mighty like the tra
ditional downpour of pitchforks
and devils horns when the Tar
Heels emerged from the fray
with the mediocre Georgia .Tech
eleven with no better than a tie.
Some radicals are oh the verge
of demanding a new coach ; oth
ers think the- team is "shot
through" with dissensions and
petty misunderstandings; still
others excuse the whole matter
by saying that football and other
college games are a lot of bunk,
that it doesn'tmatter a damn
which team wins.
This associate editor is con
vinced that the sports writers
of the state have done more to
ruin the Carolina football team
than any other agency. When
Carolina does win a football
game, some backfield man who
happened to have the-ball when
the scores were made is said to
have accounted for the victory.
If you don't believe this,., just
glance at the sports page of any
daily paper. Such headlines
as "Blank beats Mazooka" are
by no means unheard of. One
can search even a half-page
write-up and find never a word
about the work of some guard,
for example, whose playing was
perhaps as much responsible for
the victory as that of the ball
carrier. After all, it is the whole
team. that wins the game and
not one man, or any number of
men less than eleven. Such a
headline as "Carolina beats
upon
a whole team? The "big head"
is certain to take form. A foot
ball player who sees his picture
in the paper from time to time
and sees nis name in the head
lines every week is apt to con
clude that he must be good; in
fact, very good. Rationalizing
about the situation, he concludes
that heTl be good enough 4 or the
big game even after smoking
cigarettes, to say nothing of cer
tain pther unnamable practices.
The next idea that enters the
head of Mr. Blank is that he
might just as well flunk a few
courses, since the old school
couldn't possibly get along with
out him. ' "
As long as coaches are able to
persuade professors to pass stu
dents who are not doing .passable
work, there will be plenty of
headliner, men on the flunked
out list. A rule that applies to
the average student should ap
ply equally to football players.
Strange as it may seem, these
and other contributory factors
combine to make football play
ers (the headliner men) feel that
somehow football is what makes
the world, go round, after all.
The emphasis placed upon foot
ball is, of course, too ridiculous
to be tied down in a few words.
The age of brawn worship is as
certain to pass as was the old
age of duels. Only time can ac
complish it, however.
There is no real spirit inthe
Carolina football team. A play
er who will allow himself to re
ceive two "X's" at mid-term
hasn't even one earmark of the
Old Carolina spirit that reigned
on the campus before the days
of commercialized football and
publicity-soaked players.
A man who hasn't sense
enough to know that tobacco,
liquor, and loose women don't
help him play football doesn't
belong at college in any capacity.
Likewise, a sports writer who
hasn't enough sense to know that
one man doesn't win a football
game doesn't belong on the staff
of a newspaper.
We concur with a fellow stu
dent who suggested the other
day that Coach Collins kick the
sots and cigarette-hounds off the
team and begin with another
strain of football material. The
present stock seems to have "run
out." J. C. W.
Run '
Rabbits
. The most maligned things in
the world are, we feel sure, extra-curricular
" activities foot
ball, track, periodicals, drama
tics, debating, and all the rest.
And most of the derogatory re
marks are habit. The world,
for some unknown reason, is
subject to fixed ideas. And one
of those tenets is that extra
curricular activities have ruin
ed more potential Phi Beta Kap
pa students than anything you
could have. Men on this cam
pus are.--pointed, out as horrible
examples of the result of divert
ed energies.
And there are in this world
students, thousands of them,
who have sacrificed .their A's to
baseball and . dramatics. But
we are willing to bet more money
than we have ever seen that
those students leave college of
infinitely more account- than
the students who would not be
side-tracked. Don't be a good
fox hound, unwilling, to . take
your nose off the scent. Instead
run your rabbits now and then,
and then come back to your
mathematical or Spanish fox.
If you must, let your fox escape
now and then. It won't hurt to
make an F.
Of course the ideal situation
would be to combine in one
hound the faculty of following
at the same time the two ani
mals. Some students, remark-
The Importance
Of Today's Election
Today is election day. With
it comes the obligation of all
true Americans to seek to make
the ballot execute their will.
Some citizens, probably half of
the qualified voters, who have
lost faith in party pledges will
remain at home, caring nothing
of the outcome.
Regarded by many as Jbeing
unimportant, the election today
is of utmost importance. There
are four chief significances
which may be attached to the re
sult. Today the voters of the
nation will express their appro
val or condemnation of the poli
cies o fthe present presidential
administration. They will con
demn or acquit President Hoover
and the Republican party for
the serious business depression,
unemployment and agricultural
prostration by their votes today.
A second significance is : of
historical importance. , The ex
tent of the result on the next
presidential election is at stake.
.During the past htty years,
since 1880, every time the party
out of power gained control of
the House of Representatives
in an off election, it has succeed
ed in electing its candidate for
the presidency in the next presi
dential election. Will the Demo
crats secure control of the House
today'dr will the Republicans re
tain their majority.
Another important factor is
the relation of the outcome to
the tariff. The voters will de-j
cide today whether the Republi
can party shall be retained in
power so that the present high
tariff can continue to exist or
whether the Democrats will be
given a' majority in the House
in order to begin on a revision
downward. .
Of great significance are the
issues of today's election. In
some states the prohibition is
sue is foremost; in others it is
used as a camouflage for attacks
by advocates of predatory inter
ests on such staunch opponents
of Privilege and Corruption as
Senators Walsh and Norris.
The problem today is to get
out the voters. Are you going,
to shirk your duty as a citizen,
or are you going to use your in
strument" of sovereignty, in gov
ernmentthe ballot box?

Saunders,

ciation, editor of the Alumni
Review and before and since his
graduation one of the most pop
ular men on the campus. In a
talk to the staff Sunday even
ing, Mr. Saunders designated
the Tar Heel as the only "plat
form" through which the entire
student body could be reached,
saying" that, as such it bears
the responsibility of informing
the campus of the ancient and
time-honored ideals so much re
vered by Carolina gentlemen in
the past, as well as telling of the

NEIBUHR'S SERMON
MARKS CLOSE OF
EDUCATOR'S MEET
(Continued from first page)
dered two pleasing selections.
I)r. Neibuhr chose as ; his topic
"social intelligence and the spir
itual dynamic" and based his
text on Phillipian 1:9 "and this
I pray, that your love .may
abound yet more and more in
knowledge and all discernment."
The problem which we face in
our modern life, the noted divine
declared, is to maintain the ener
gies which result in ethical con
duct; and at the same time to
direct moral good will so that it
will be effective, in the complexi
ties , of our industrial civiliza
tion. Broadly speaking, it is
the business of religion to cre
ate moral good will, the spirit
of love ; and it is the business of
education of direct this moral
energy.
"Perhaps the most perplexing
problem "which we face," Dr.
Neibuhr said, "is that our social
relationships are becoming more
and" more indirect. We are
cortation. Human
which flows easily at the touch
of human hand ceases to flow
when men are bound together
only by steel. Multiple owner
ship destroys the sense of re
sponsibility and the multiplica
tion of workers obscures the in
dividual in the crowd.
"If we cannot bring the an
archic' forces at the heart of
our industrial society under the
control of human conscience and
intelligence there is no. hope for
our generation."
Dr. Neibuhr Sunday after
noon led a forum discussion on
modern political, religious, and
social issues, the meeting being
held in the Sunday school room
of . the Methodist church. He
outlined conditions as he found
them in Germany and Russia
while, touring these, countries
this past, summer, and then
threw the meeting open for
general discussion. '

Perpetuating
Traditions v ; . . .
They have almost come to be
periodic -in their appearances:
lamentations for the former
glories and passing traditions of
the University, "Old grads"
and those idealists among the
present college generations re
gularly bewail the f act , that
there, are no more gentlemen on
the campus, that the honor
code is being grossly disregard
ed, that the old school spirit has
ceased to exist, and so on into
reams and reams of paper.
Many reasons for this state of
affairs may be; produced, but one
of them is particularly appar
ent. That is, increasingly more
students are coming to the Uni
versity from homes that have
never known the influence of the
University, from families in
which there are no University
graduates. There are, also, a
number of students here from
other states.' The members of
neither of these two groups are
intimately acquainted with the
traditional background of the
University; they have not been
impressed, through pre-college
contacts, by Carolina traditions.
In a large measure, the future
of the University depends upon
the loyalty of its alumni and
this loyalty, in turn, depends
upon the students here and now
receiving and perpetuating to
the generations follow them its
able dogs, possess that faculty, spirit and ideals. The task of
They shut the door on hybrid styles
Quantity production of equipment has long
been practiced by ' the telephone industry.
Telephone designers years ago shut the door
on many hybrid styles seeking first to work
out instruments which could best transmit the
voice, then making these, few types in great
quantities.
This standardization made possible concen
trated study of manufacturing processes, and
steady improvement of them. For example, the
production of 15,000,000 switchboard lamps a
year, all of one type, led to the development
of a highly, special machine which does in a
few minutes what once took an hour. .
Manufacturing engineers, with their early
start in applying these ideas, have been able to
develop methods which in many cases have be
come industrial models. The opportunity is there!
