" Last Year's Award The Mayflower cup award of last year was presented to Dr. Archibald Henderson of the Liberalism AN EDITORIAL . There are two organizations at the University whose func tions are of vital importance es pecially to the students and who are entrusted with student funds to be dispensed primarily in stu dent interests. These organiza tions are the Athletic AssociSr tion and the Publications -Union board. . In. both the student body is represented, in one with a major ity over faculty representatives; in . the other, faculty, alumni, and students are equally repre sented with three members each. Student members of both are changed each year; but the fac ulty and alumni representatives are allowed to be re-appointed or re-elected for an indefinite. period. As a ' result, the . alumni and faculty members, who serve year after year, assume control over the organizations because . of their longer connection with the bodies, form definite, opinions on situations which are apt to re occur, and create staid policies for the groups. Under these conditions the retained mem bers, considering themselves more intimately acquainted with the duties of the organizations, Former Yale Man And Snubs Teachin ? For Farming .."vvV- O '': " ' ' - Prudent, Philosophical Fruit-Seller Explains Why, After Studying , At Carolina and New Haven, He Is Boosting Farm-Life v f v And Dispensing Various Apple Products. ; Enthusiasm characterizes the Apple-Man. He comes every Thursday or Friday for a week end Chapel Hill visit. He parks his truck down the alley be tween the local, bakery and Model market, and then ar ranges his baskets of rounds red fruits behind a sign that reads, Prudential Farm Products For Prudent People." An inquisitive passer-by fin gered an apple that looked juicy and asked him, "Why the 'pru dent'?" The Apple-Man's eyes, a hezel-green, with attractive dark splotches at the bottom looked up. He grinned, "It's a long story I once taught school in Greensboro, but when I bought some life insurance from the Prudential Life Insurance company, there, I found out that there were other definitions of prudent than my own. I decided to set up a place that went by my own definition of prudent." Hisinsinuation concerning an unhappy prudent situation did not astound the student so" much as the fact that the Apple-Man had once taught school. Philosophy Student "What did "you teach and where did you go to school your self ?" "I graduated from Caro lina ih '22, with an A.Bl in Eng lish, attended Yale the year af ter; where' I studied philosophy." The student's mouth dropped in amazement. Out popped . "Why are you selling apples?" Answered the amused, big-built ex-professor, "Well, you know w . . Alcott used to say,. of " his friend Emerson, who1 wrote the essay, 'Over Soul 'He was a transcendentalist, but he raised the best apples in New Eng land!'" With all his untidiness, the man whose overalls were no longer blue, whose grimy, long fingers were arranging a falling-down signabout cider and screwing th& already-tightly-screwed tops of canned fruit, CHAPEL HILL, ' H; SUNDAY, DECEilBEE 10, 1933 Stymied tend, unconsciously probably, to subordinate views of the student delegates. . In the case of the Athletic Association where the student members are outnumbered & to 3, it is clearly evident that the permanent members, so. f to speak, can overrule any possible student opinion. In the Publi cations Union board the usual presence of a student seeking publication "office, by siding with the constant faculty members, can form a quorum. - f ' It can be shown that' such con ditions exist. In the Athletic Association the faculty and alumni members have been Ire appointed or re-elected ove a number of years. In the Publi cations Union board the same holds true. It is the contention of the Daily Tar Heel, that these are outstanding evils and : that they eliminate any possibilities for fresh ideas and new policies. We contend further that a. part of the alumni and faculty mem bers of both organizations should be changed each year, and that no member shall be eligible for successive terms of office.' : Sells Apples possessed a great deal of charm and grace. .The excited student took advantage of his willing ness to talk, and asked innumer able questions. Sold on Farming "Then what is your philoso phy?" He answered promptly and brightly, "If the world hands you a lemon, open up a lemonade stand I" He was very eager to explain how much he liked farming.- "I will never go back to teaching," he said. And from his readings of eight cur rent farm journals and his dis cussions with men who know the advantages of intelligent farming, the Apple-Man is get ting on tip-toe for a successful farm-life. "When I started out, I had only a rented cow ; I now tenant and oversee a farm of 7,000 fruit trees in the Blue Ridge mountains, which I shall leave very soon for a farm" of my own in a valley next to Vir ginia." While he chatted across his apples in a pleasant voice, pride spread over his healthy face. "And I have five children and the finest wife in the world." With the help of his wife, a graduate of N. C. C. W., he in tends, to raise "pure-bred cattle and kids," meaning that he hopes to properly rear his three boys and two girls. "Yes, we shall have a school for our boys and girls which we shall call 'The Little Farm Life School'." Asked if he intended to have more kids, he elicited an em phatic "No," but remarked that he certainly was going to pur sue the scientific methods in breeding chickens and hogs. Plans to Write - He seems to be on the up-and-up now. As soon as he gets se curely on his feet, he will begin polishing up his farm-schedule, so as to have time for instruct ing his children and writing short stories and essays . from (Continuel cn lest page) WELFARE BOARD HAS FOUR TOPICS FOR DMJSSION To Discuss Suggestions Concern ing Mid-Terms and Student Work on CWA' Projects.

LIBRARIES FORM JOINTmVICE University and Duke Libraries To Cooperate in Serving Fac ulties and Student Bodies. As a method of cooperation between the Duke University li brary and the University libra ry each one has mailed an invi tation to every faculty member of the other to make full use of its facilities. - A similar invita tion is extended to tiie students of the two. Universities. : The students of the Universi ty may. make full use of the Duke University library and if they are properly identified may borrow books there. The stu dents of Duke University have the same privileges here. The Duke library and the University library are now the largest between the District of Columbia and Texas. Their combined resources are approxi mately three-fourths of a million volumes. As a result of the growth of the two libraries this region is rapidly becoming the book center of the south, com parable in importance to the great book collections in other sections of the country. . Another way in which the two libraries are coordinating their activities is in avoiding dupli cation of very expensive and specialized material. Each li brary has a number of import ant special -collections which it would be impracticable to dupli cate in the other. A third cooperative enterprise is the exchange of duplicate books. Hundreds of duplicate volumes in the Duke University library have been sent to the University library in exchange for duplicates from this library.
