CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE: , PHIL HAMMER Friday, November 3, 1933 All Aboard! When Carolina plays N. C. State College at Raleigh tomorrow, the University will be show ing one of the greatest turn-outs in its history for an out-of-town football game. Almost every one is planning to attend what will be one of the best games of the season. However, there are a few students who re fuse to go for several reasons, the main one of which is the outlay of money necessary to finance the trip. There may be a f ew studentswho will be inconvenienced by having : to pay the small fee of ninety cents fgr the train and fifty cents for entrance to the game, but for the majority of those who plead financial embarrassment are fully able to go to the game, i - ' The revival of school spirit on the campus has been progressing rapidly throughout the year. Not only has this revival made for a bet ter spirit among the students, but the towns people and faculty members are doing their part also. This was noticeable among the towns people last week-end when fraternity houses were being decorated and is certainly apparent this week-end, for all the boarding houses are cooperating in serving meals earlier than the usual hour so that the students may have ample time to catch the train. Also, the members of the faculty who teach Saturday morning classes are moving them am to an earlier time so that they too will not inter fere with-the students who wish to attend the game. All obstacles have been removed which might keep those who like from going to Raleigh, and if a few students, in spite of all that has been done, still refuse to attend the game, they are. hurting the whole student body's activity in the revival of - school spirit as well as de priving themselves of an enjoyable afternoon; F.P.G. - . , Activity. . .. Wanted N ; V The Y. M. C. A. is one of the few organizations on this campus which has not definitely-shown that it is of some real use. The sophomore orders, the'University monogram club, the Grail, and various class organizations, have shown that they are useful for some purpose or other, but the Y is, as far as the average University student is concerned, dead wood. The few choirs or talkers that are tossed off to the rest of the state every once and a while are little justi fication for the existence of an organization with such supposedly high aims. . It is, it seems, a political organization owning a club house in the center of the campus, holding elections' for officers one year and: stagnating the rest of the time. It will be vigorously denied that there is poli tics in the sanctified "inn'ards' of the organiza tion. It is - exactly . that denial which offends. Other , elections are admittedly political affairs and there is no attempt to Jiide anything. The Young Men's Christian Association, on the other hand, is pure in its mud-slinging, and so escapes the shaft -but the mudislinging is there just the same. , . ' Therefore we say to the Y : get to, work, and prove that you're a vital part of campus life ; otherwise some time in the near future, you will be asked by more than one student "what are you. here for anyway?" W.H.W. - "House of Connelly Paul Green has again demonstrated affection for his alma mater. He has given to the Caro lina Playmakers the royalties on his play, "The House of Connelly." The Playmakers consider it a privilege to be able to produce one of hi3 excellent plays. Although they have long want ed to cast University dramatists in the parts who portray so vividly the North Carolina tra ditions and superstitions, Paul Green's longer productions so far have been too complicated in organization for amateurs. But now he has written a drama that fits, it is believed and hoped, into the scope of the Play makers. What the talent on the Carolina cam pus can do, will be realized the last three days of this week, when an entirely new group of actors present "The House of Connelly." His splendid interest has increased the aspirations of the dramatists and a sort of spirit of dedica tion to Paul Green. It is predicted that unusual ability will make this production worthy of his : endorsement, in which case it will be toured through North Carolina, the state that Paul Green ioves and writes about. J.S.C. Big Time Jingoism The mistress of the sea is worried about her navy. Even before Germany withdrew from the Disarmament Conference, British Conserva tives, at their annual convention, had expressed "grave anxiety over the inadequacy of imperial defense." Now they, are more anxious than ever.- " - V". ;-'--C- "'""T ." Last week, therefore, Britain listened sym pathetically when two of her "sea-dogs" urged that the navy be strengthened. In a speech at Sheffield, Admiral Sir Ernie Chatfield, First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval staff, called the battle fleet "the fullback of the fleet" and added: "The fullback is now getting past his prime." . Next day, at a Navy League dinner in London, Earl Beatty, Admiral of the fleet, declared that, with her weakened navy, Britain is "incapable of playing the part of a great power.":-- r''" Meanwhile, without fanfare, recruiting at the naval base at Portsmouth has been radically in creased.' : " ' ; . : ' : Britain's "big-navy" men deny that they are troubled, by the American naval building pro gram. But last week they fumed over a letter from th Navy LeagU of the United States, a highly nationalistic private organisation, to the Navy League of Great Britain. It said, in part: "Our people are being forced reluctantly , to a conclusion that, while your statesmen continue to say that war between us is unthinkable, they apparently keep in mind always such a con tingency." . . hirVr : ,::.;X;;; v . - ; Let us hope that there is not a split between Great Britain and the United States. Should the two greatest countries in the world choose to take opposite sides, the dangerous friction which was observable several years ago would again become dominant. W.C.I. would be' sorely disillusioned for once and for all. . Never has there been seen such an asinine game of "follow the leader" as that played at a supposedly important meeting of educated women. The major ity of the girl3 seemed to have absolutely no opinion of their own on anything: they meekly accepted every representative appointed by the various chair men in fact, they accepted every, motion of any kind with out the tiniest peep of dissent or assent. : " . ' . When the time came for the general election in the majority of cases, if not in all, a repre sentative of each sorority was put up for each office. When the Chi Omgea girl was up, up went the Chi O's and down stayed the Pi's ; when the Pi Phi girl was up, up went the Pi Phi's and down went the Chi's, as evenly as a see-saw. There was practically no discussion of the merits of the girls and, only too obviously, no thinking. In my opinion, this moronic handling of such a situation is absolutely shameful. Each sor ority is equally to blame, as are also non-sorority girls who vot ed for a girl merely because she was a good friend of theirs or because the majority was voting for her. This trait of follow the leader is common enough among sheep and children, but among university women, there ; is no excuse for such behavior. M.B.M. Speaking the Campus Fireman Save My Child Editor, the Daily Tar Heel: The "following is a little story that I thought might be of some interest to your readers. You can take it for better or for worse. -I called the fire department, those fearless protectors of women and children, about 10 :00 o'clock to report a fire in one of Henry Ford's relics that was parked down alongside of Aycock dormitory. Well sire, along about ten minutes later the engine ; came steaming up Hillsboro street, making . . all of 20 miles per hour. f The gallant company must have thought they were just out for a joy ride for they never so much as slowed down, but continued right on to the Raleigh highway and thence back to the station. I again called them and asked if they would mind sending down a fire extinguisher, which this time they did. Five minutes later the Postal Delivery truck pulled up and discharged an extinguisher and one fireman, who bravely tackled his job and soon had the now almost ex tinct flames out. I think the Chapel Hill fire company deserves a big vote of thanks for their fast and thorough execution: give the boys a big hand, they need it. - : : - - M. T. . Now " ' . You're It ;', . , . 'v;;': Editor, the Daily Tar Heel: Honor among the co-eds appeared to be very high, according to a recent story in the Daily Tar Heel, which told of one of the girls selling candy in the hall at an unattended stand and never missing a cent These and other incidents should make one's opinion of the girls in this school very high unless one attended the Wom an's association meeting recently, . when one BOARD CONVENES WITH PRESIDENT (Continued from first page) a revision of the school of ap plied science; examinations of the "course offering" of the de partments of the University; unification of these depart ments ; and the consideration of altering the semester and quar ter system V for the common freshman year. When the report of the com mittee was turned over to the faculty, President Graham stated that he would welcome the expression of student opin ion on the questions brought up, and his meeting with the edi torial board yesterday marks the first step in the direction of opening: student discussion of the matter. At the present time, the Stu dent Advisory board is working on a similar study of the six schools of the University, though the investigation is entirely in dependent of that of the faculty.

The disease carried by this insect was thought to be a tro pical malady but the organism responsible was discovered near San Diego two years ago. These Cross bugs are native ; about Berkeley and Mt. Diablo in southern California.

In closing, Brummitt said that the cases mentioned are but a few of the more import ant matters with which his de partment is concerned, and that it is but natural that he and his staff should constantly be fear ful that, in the hurry, of their work, they may overlook some significant part of the case or problem they are considering. .
