' Day of Friendships The committee on student-faculty . day has chosen a propitious dat.e for the taking place of this novel feature in the history of the Univer sity. The success which student-faculty day will have depends on an appropriate time to a great extent, and Hallowe'en is a day that is as con ducive as any to loosening up dignities that are willing, but find it hard after so many years, to meet each other on terms other than those of the classroom. , , Our only fear in regard to student-faculty day is that both parties may get the idea that it is intended to be a rowdy, foolish" sort of ob servance. Nothing can be further from the minds of those who planned it. The object of student-faculty day is not for students arid f ac ulty to go out' together and ring doorbells; but ; merely to observe this day as one set apart for the promotion of friendliness and good will. We know that with careful planning it will succeed, and we hope that it will be perpetuated to other student generations here at the University. Is Prison the Place for Him? J. B. Watkins, 30-year-old murderer who killed a man twice his age in Rockingham last August, has been sentenced to from 15 to 20 years in the state prison. . Watkins was first tried for first degree murder, but the jury, taking into account the murderer's alleged mental incapacity, found him guilty of manslaughter. The judge who sen tenced hinv stated that he believed Watkins' ' ; crime was premeditated and was a case of first degree murder, but considering his mental in capacity ,and the fact that the man he murdered " was intimate with his estranged wife, he sane tioned the jury's verdict. Watkins, therefore, a .mental incompetent, can thank his defectiveness and his estranged wife that he got 15 years ; 'instead of the electric chair. - Which brings up the' question of just who should be put in prison ? For years penal author lties and law courts have taken it as a matter of -course that every crime against society should ' ' be diverted into one sink-hole the prison. reuy onenaers against city -ordinances, con- firmed alcoholics, vagrants, emotionally unstable - men and women all have been put behind the bars as the one solution to society's problem of eliminating them. Watkins' case is likewise an evidence of the same soft of social philosophy. ; The judge who sentenced him and the jury who f "tried him both half -admitted his mental incapa . city, yet he was put in prison, not in an insti tution where if he really were insane he could ' be cared for. V I: : ' . Too many of Watkins" type are pouring into Co-eds and " Congeniality No sooner do the men end fraternity rushing than the 4o-eds begin in earnest to pledge girls for their sororities. In the glamour of early season rushing, the new co-eds are liable to be come a trifle dazzled arid, to use an admittedly trite expression, a word to the wise is sufficient While the parties given by the sororities un der the local Pan-Hellenic council rules are very wonderful, sorority life, it must be noted; wil not consist of one glorious round of parties and dates after the novice has been pledged. But it will offer new friendships and companions of life-long bonds, new congeniality in a more or less unified group formed with an association of picked college women all over the United States. The most important . factor in selecting a sorority is, as we emphasized in the men's fra ternity discussion, congeniality. Unless the girl feels at home with her companions, unless she is one of the group and riot an outsider looking in, the sorority offers nothing for her. It must also be emphasized that sororities are definitely not essential to a co-ed's well-being on this campus ; girls who are not tendered bids or who cannot financially meet the requirements' need not consider their college career blighted. The essence seems to be this: if you are able and asked, assent ; if you are unable or unap- proached, un-lax. Life's too short to get upset because you have been unable to affiliate your self with a fraternal group offering more chance for friendship but not a whit more opportunity for self -development. j ' 1 : - Thinking ,... And Dancing V We wish the older 'generation would get to gether on their opinions of their younger off springs and decide definitely just what they do think about we "c611ege-uns." Out in Arkansas at the Monticello Agricultural and Mechanical College, President Frank Horsfall stated he be lieved college dances were "sex orgies" and promptly got his student body all steamed up about the idea' of telling Dr. Horsfall just ex actly "where to get off ." Then, at the same time, Henry Goddard Leach, j;i - n II ti - euuor oi tne rorum, sees an emergence of a conservative, optimistic type of college student as opposed to the iconoclastic brooder and gin drinker believed by many to personify the post war era m higher American education." Good for Goddard ! Here is a clear thinker. Regardless .of the opinions of Dr. Horsfall, who thinks one should be married to dance like they do nowadays (what is this Monticello A. and M., anyway?) and Goddard, who says he believes we are accumulating gray matter, we still think the modern college generation is, and has been, a group of students having a job to do and doing it, more or less, as well as they knowiiow. May we have this dance, Dr. Hors fall? . There's Gold In That Brine Down in Wilmington some scientists did some multiplying and dividing and calculating and fig ured that in salt water was to be found gold and silver. So, at the bromine-extraction plant on the Atlantic ocean down by Fort Fisher they put the pressure, figuratively speaking, on 12 tons of sea-water flowing through the plant and, after chemical treatment, in the sediment recovered one-tenth of a milligram, half gold and half silver. v . . . It looks like the North Carolina public debt is about solved. Now we can take the stump speakers and the left-over politicians arid put them to work under North Carolina's own NRA the - Nugget Recovery Administration." Of course, at the present ratio between riietal and water, it will take this half of the Atlantic and part of trie Gulf of Mexico to keep the Old North State well fortified, against the monster Debt, but there's plenty of water and the scientists believe that the first recovery was only l-300th of that which actually exists iri the same amount of sea water. In fact, they say that if the spectroscope' is right, there is enough gold in seawater to pave the United States and enough silver to roof the world. We ask vou. aren't thino-a WT-inr" im? v r O -ww- Mii Spain and : . Her Trouble ; - The second Spanish republic, headed by Pre mier Alejandro Lerroux. is faced with a tee situation today in attempting to squelch the sixth major upnsmg that has shook it since its found ing in May, 1931. Communists, socialists: and syndico-anarchists are making common cause iri a revolution which has already cost the r - . . - w . - - 7 . .- many Spanish citizens. Rebel forces are scat tered throughout the country, no sector actuallv being safe from gunfire, and the Spanish. gov ernment has declared itself not resnrmaiMo GIVING HIM THE GLAD HAND Yih J 1 1 C- yw for the lives: of those on the i v. - streets. ' i - -. Scattered reports indicate that the revolutionary strike has al most completely paralyzed com merce, industry, and transporta tion in many parts of Spain. The government is contending that the strike is nearly broken, but Leftists are equally firm in asserting , that the quiet period is merely a period of watchful waiting. It is unfortunate, to say the least, that a country with Spain's adverse financial condition should have to contend with a state of constant revolution and revolt. We in this country, continually kicking about the so-called ruin ous conditions here, have at least to be fervently thankful that we do not have governmental up risings and revolutions to fight in addition to our economic and commercial troubles.

A cocktail with raspberry syrup in it? One look at 'Pep per" in his working clothes and a bartender told to mix an ap propriate cocktail would pour in an equal mixture- of squirrel whisky and sheep dip, and dress it up with a dash of steel wool.

TRABUE TO HEAD RESEARCH STUDY , (Continued: from page one) requested Dr. Trabue to outline a program of further research to meet these needs.
