Backed up by a Supreme Court decision declaring states were obliged to provide higher educa tional facilities for their citi zens regardless of race, one citi zen, a Negro woman, exerted pressure on the University ad ministration for entrance here. Her application was turned down along with several others. But the issue remained un solved. Clearly the state was not providing for Negroes the facili ties to which they were entitled. A law school for Negroes was organized - in Durham with a faculty made up of four Univer sity and two Duke professors who are to carry this additional work along with the require ments of their regular positions. Although only a single Negro student was able to qualify for the work this fall thereby mak ing it useless for the school to operate this year, the plan will not be recorded as a failure. Officials of the Negro college have stated that it is expected that this group of professors will serve as a nucleus for the law faculty next year when the school reopens. One familiar with the prob lems created could hardly ask for a more intelligent solution to a perplexing problem. Al though the present set-up calls for a Negro law school only, it is apparent that other graduate educational facilities may be provided for Negroes in the same manner when they are needed.

The issue has been met fairly and squarely, r v ; ESKIMOS A La Old West; Ask Residents The Eskimo and the polar bear have become accustomed to the rigors of cold weather and sur roundings. Their resistance to frigid en vironment is due probably to conditioning and their heavy coats of fur and hair. But after centuries, of battling the snow, ice and chilling wind they can now curl up in a snow bank and snooze away. The boys in Uld West , and a few of the other dormitories to ward the center of the campus are beginning to wonder if they must do the white man's pioneer ing in the Eskimo mode of life. Bundling is becoming the rage in Old West after many un successful attempts to juice heat from stone cold radiators. And even the dorms that now have heat had to go through the hazards of two to three days of plenty chilly weather minus heat. What do you say, gentlemen of the power plant, must the occu pants of Old West turn into leathery Eskimos to survive, must they again go through all the struggles against hardships man has supposedly overcome?

One girL new to the campus, was heard to remark several days ago-that "It's all bo different from what thought it was going to be. I had no idea things would be like this." That statement can obviously be taken two ways, but this time, we prefer, to in terpret it in the best light. For in stance, if the said coed will give her self time to let the newness wear off her surroundings so that she can get a real picture of the place in which she has chosen to get her education, she will find herself in an atmosphere of give and take where each student, be he boy or girl, learns to depend entirely upon himself or herself and accept all advances in the spirit in which they are given. To those of us who have been here before, those who have been seen look ing their worst and their best in the classroom and at dances and to whom the University boys aire capable of being the best oi pals, the realization has come that the person you see day in and day out is bound to lose her glamour. Hence, dance week-ends see the advent into our midst of any num ber of so-called "imports," down to share in the good times that the coed has all during the year. It is easy to see the boys' point of view, because after close association with the same people for a while, a change is always welcome. However, after all, coeds are still girls. They like to hear the big orchestras, to see football games with a date, and had much rather go out with boys who are Lnot dating them just to pass the time. So, boys, you'll have to give us credit for one thing. We know that human ' nature has two sides, and we're willing to see both of them the good as well as the bad. .

For many years the stu dents have heard of hopes and plans for a radio station here, but nothing has ever material ized. More than once it has seemed that the University was o take a place in the air lanes. Until now, plans have failed to become reality. With announcement that a studio in Caldwell hall is to be ready for use by December 1, however, .we are satisfied that the University definitely wijl have its fixed broadcast point. The benefits and advantages of such a studio need not be enumerated. They are obvious. Our purpose at this time is only to point out that the extension division deserves hearty congra- ulations for bringing this worth while project to reality.

A bitter boy who, in the great American quest for decent work, has "been around"). "Dear Ed: 'Fm writing this letter, to you be cause it is a rotten day up here in the city, and because I am in my usual state of unemployment. If I had some thing to do I probably wouldn't have time to write. And, as would no doubt please some of our more influential citizens, I wouldn't even have time to think. For thought, slow careful thought that builds into angry pyra mids that while aw,ay the hours, is bad medicine in these war-cast days. Ask any big industrialist who has already unwrapped that little American flag which he used to wave from his office window as "our boys" went marching by. ' - "Down there in your shaded cam pus the trees probably hide a lot of things. Down there you have classes and' assignments to think of. Down there your buildings are a shield from the leer on the changing face of much of the America that is today. And I envy you and wish that I were with you burrowing my head in the "peda gogical sand down there. "But maybe you've seen and noticed some of the things which have made me furious in the lst month. As you know, in these last few years I have knocked around and waited for the city to throw me a bone with an oc casional job at some silly and un needed development. When I walked in the streets of cities no one was in terested in me and the haunting prom ise of my youth. None of the people cried shame at my poverty or wailed for, my bitterness. No one seemed worried about me or the millions of young boys like me who were seeing life from the end of an employment office line. And the nation went merr rily on its way to allow partisan dis sension in congress and stupid state politics to fight every effort that the administration. has offered. And every once in a while some one threw us a bone. "But since the beginning of war, Ed, there's been a change. Now as I walk along the street with the vigor of the youth that I still have I see some of our. o-ood citizens shakiner their "'heads sadly after me. Once in a while I hear 1 them saying something about the pity of such a young life being threatened by the vileness of war. Now, you see, I and my millions have become pre mature martyrs for "the cause." They are so very kind and sympathetic now, these good people in the cities where I can find no work. v "Last night I sneaked into a cham ber of commerce meeting as a lark.

I u THE BOOK EXCHANGE HELLO By ED RANKIN NO OTHER WAY Yesterday, the special committee, appointed recently by Dean Bradshaw to investigate the sophomore picture question, prepared a report in which they said that sophomores must pay for their own Yackety Yack pictures. Nine out of ten fellows on the cam pus would agree, . "Sure, they should. Why shouldn't the sophs pay for their own pictures just as the juniors ar.d seniors?" The committee said that they '-believe the majority of the sophomores are in favor of the pictures and recom mended that the extra, amount be added to the sophomore class fee and collected by the University on student bills. The chief reaction to this state ment would be amazement at why the committee should bother its time with such obvious facts. But the committee had a definite purpose which it tried to follow. The dean of students didn't stop the pas sage of the class' will and appoint a committee because he bitterly opposed letting the sophs have individual pic tures. ' ' Some of the trustees are allergic to J the word "fees," and fly into a lather at the mention of increasing the pres ent burden. So the dean called for a student committeeto look for a take care of this increase for sophomore pictures. He suggested the surplus of the Publications Union board and the com mittee met with the board but soon understood that if the publications are to remain on a sound "basis financially there must be a surplus, although not quite as large as it stands at the pres ent. To the committee this appeared to be the only practical source other than the'sophs themselves. The committee has made its report, the dean will more than likely shuttle it on to the trustees and, after hearing that the question was passed on a special student group, they should let it slip through. Whether the recommendation of the committee goes any further than the dean's office or not, the fact re mains that if the sophomores have in dividual pictures in the Yackety Yack they will have to lay out the mazuma.
