Major Cause The statistics, which revealed that there were 20 per cent de ficiencies in the course in the fall quarter against 16.1 per cent last fall, showed that bad study habits are the major cause of failure. Other high ranking reasons cited by the economics faculty were lack of native aptitude and indolence, which tied for second and third Piann T?it;i1 "Rv Willi Snvf7 will be presented at 8:30 tonight Portions; deficiencies in prepa j.miir...:.i..ii" ration, fourth; and no interest 111 -Li.

Town Hall broadcast from 9:30 Professor Winslow's failure ports on each failure, the in structors might enumerate five reasons to which they attribut ed the particular failure. In all, eight contributing factors were listed. The most important fac tor was assigned a value of five, and the remaining factors, if any, ranged downward in value to one. Twenty-two points were scor ed for the bad study factor this fall against 19.2 for the preced ing fall quarter. Lack of native aptitude and indolence each showed an in crease of 2.2 points, 18.8 this year against 16.6 last year. To deficiencies in preparation were assigned 18.6 points, with 14.3 being the figure for the fall of 1936. The fifth major factor, lack of interest in the subject, re corded a decrease this year against last. The 1937 figure was 9.4 points and for the pre vious year it was 10.8. 'Other factors listed were: Poor attendance, this fall 6.5, last fall 13.7 ; demands of other interests, this fall 4.3, last fall 4.8; and other causes, this fall 1.5, last fall 4.

The police had seized Thomas, the jail loomed ahead. Then a mutual acquaintance got the President to issue one of the pardons rare in American history which let Thomas out of the situation. But the Chief Ex ecutive ribbed his pardonee for his "indecent exposure." To The Top His aggression for peace in those days, Thomas said yester day, was the chief contributing factor to his entering socialist ranks. Since the 1920's he has risen to its top in this country, and in the past three national elections has been its candidate for the Presidency. As for the peace and calm for which he and his party seeks, Thomas thinks it just about ex ists in Chapel Hill. This is his third visit within three years and he has come to sniff the "atmosphere" which has helped hold many professors whose pay could have been greater at many other schools. Opportunity He has great respect for Dr. Frank Graham, and publicly calls him "the greatest cham pion of American scholarship." The opportunity for exchange of viewpoints here appeals to him very much. The thing that would keep Thomas from settling down in this village is its removal from the hub of national affairs. To day Norman Thomas is back with his socialist work in bus tling New York City, far from the peace and calm of Chapel Hill, but, he assures, "with very good impressions of this en lightened community." Socialist Program Up to the time of the War Between the States, battleships were constructed chiefly of oak wood.

Dean House Speaks To Freshmen (Continued from first page) "One quarter is only one-twelfth of the time it will take to com plete your education. Don't be discouraged if you are on thin ice, but make a fresh start and get into a safe area." He urged first-year men to take advantage'of the "Religion-in-Life" conferences to be con ducted here this month and to attend the meetings. Vienna Boys Choir Will Appear Here (Continued from first page) as well. During the 18th century their training extended beyond the domain of the choirmaster and musical tutor. They were taken into the care of ecclesiastical seminaries, for a time by the Jesuits. After the abolition of mon asteries, the boys began to ap pear in the chorus of operas. In 1802 they were lodged in a con servatory under the manage ment oif the Piearist Fathers. After the dissolution of the lat ter in 1848, the boys were quar tered in the Loewenburg con servatory at the expense of the Imperial court. Among the great musicians who received early training from the Saengerknaben insti tution were Haydn, Schubert, Mozart. las (Continued from first p?;,) dent has no consistent poVicv foreign affairs, and no def-v program in regards to r-Z? ity.

Thomas said that "the. social, ist belief is that we ought to have a modern, nation-wWa farmer-labor bargain." He men tioned the recent publicity re garding "America's 60 fami!;. lies," and said that in his opfc. ion, "as long as we continue our profit system we are not going to help things by breaking up the monopoly of these 60 fami lies and distributing the wealth among 600 families instead." Open Forum The socialist leader arrived ia Chapel Hill yesterday morning and spoke before several hun dred students and professors is an open forum discussion at 12 o'clock. The most important subject discussed at this time was the Spanish situation. After having been in town for ten hours, Thomas opened his speech last night by referring to Chapel Hill as "an oasis of learning."

I recently sold 489,000 pounds of tobacco in one 6 hour day," says Mr. J. N. Edwards of Farm ville, North Carolina. "TThere was a buyer, naturally, for every one of those 489,000 pounds. ..But there was as much difference between the best grades and the inferior, as between a pretty girl and a homely one. "At auction after auction, I've seen Lucky Strike go after the prettiest lots of tobacco. It's no wonder Luckies taste so good. I've smoked them since 1917. "And another thing . . . even after yelling out tobacco bids all during a seven hour day, Luckies are still just as easy as ever on my throat." Only Lucky Strike offers you the finest tobacco plus the throat protection of the exclusive proc ess "It's Toasted". This process takes out certain irritants found in all tobacco even the finest. Men who know tobacco from A to Z experts like Mr. Edwards are surely good judges of ciga rettes . . . Sworn records show that, among independent tobacco ex perts, Luckies have twice as many exclusive smokers as have all the other cigarettes combined.
