Yet on this grdup falls the task of planning the ,wor- ship services that are held in Gerrard hall every night at 7 o'clock except Saturday and Sunday. If past attendance at Vespers is any indication of what the : student body thinks of these programs something is defi nitely wrong. There has been an average of eight or 10 stu dents in attendance. To start with, it is hard for a speaker to talk before such a small group. He can pre pare a talk that will make the campus think about problems that they have to face, yet he himself falls down at the task when he sees the small num ber present. He just can't get "in the swing of things." At Monday night's meeting Airs. Walter Spearman, chair man of the worship commis sion, stated that she felt it was useless to continue .vesper - services if the student body does not want them. She pointed out that with a stu dent body of 4,000 students certainly 50 should take time to attend a - 15-minute reli gious service each night. ' Plans are underway now to work out a series of pro grams that will appeal to every member of the student body. Students on the campus from other countries will ap pear on future programs. They will express their views on problems in their own countries, and tell how they differ from those here. As in tion? -: I Well j we wanted to leave i the' naval .reserve, the, air. i v corps, the organization of stu dents, wanted to leave the ; military things, behind, nd we wondered where to find time and what' to do. So you might do this thing we discovered, this killing a gift-horse legally. Two hours of physical training are left to the student, two hours out side of class being done on his honor. We wanted to forget the ' hustle and bustle of the cam pus, the military life, the radios and newspapers, so we took our two hours and went walking, went way out into the woods to think about things. For an afternoon we had the illusion the world , was clean. You might try it. The walk also counts, remem ber, as part of your physical training. Letters To Editor Protests Stealing To the Editor, . . Dear Sir: At the present time the campus is faced with a serious problem with which only the campus can cope. It is not a new one but one that should have been met long before now. Those of us who have been here for several years sadly remember articles that have been "lost" and never found, many of which were definitely identif yingly marked by the owners. We also remember the heavy losses taken by residents of dormitories and fraternities from a Tirw " 15 ib 'It $ i9- " r Li I24 25 '"J P ir 5 sr fk jsr- "1 11 111 1 npi 1 n : ILiht On The Hill : By Bill Snider Ends and Means Though you have a feeling that Tony Patucci would never spout so philosophically in real life (things being what they were in the film), ' 1 still you know' Playwright Sid ney Howard hit on somet h in g ; ' fundamental in "They Knew What .They Wanted." In the motion picture at the Carolina theater last week Hollywood - con vincingly disguised Carole Lombard : as an illiterate waitress and William Gargan as the ! familiarly human hired man. Charles Laughton was there too as a wealthy Italian grape grower who resembled Charles Laughton. These three, Mr. Howard, tells us, knew what they wanted. At various times they tell the audience, and since the music is plaintive and . ominous the audience soon begins to suspect that they won't get what they want, that "The End" will fade in through a misty sky and a car rumbling across the valley and a man standing on a hill. Itj does. And be cause there was a brilliant director to put this together on the screen it was never maudlin and trite, never superfluous and sloppy. But to get back to what Mr. How ard had to say. Grimacing nobly through his "Italian Tony" makeup, Big-lipped Laughton, again the piti ful monster, speaks for Mr. Howard vas he forgives his fiancee after her affair with the hired man. Laughton -inquires of a world that knows what it wants, why it can't get what it be happy and are willing to live in wants sensibly, why with a little humaneness and sacrifice it can't patch up its troubles and live in peace. Fat oily Tony is willing to do that, to overlook the fact that Amyfs first baby will not be his in order to have what he wants a lov ing wife. But they answer him, Amy and the hired man, just as the world would answer him in words of rationalization. Tony is good, they say, much better than any of them could be. What Tony does, they cannot do even if it does mean losing. And there Mr. Howard (who '. ! . peace if they can get what they want without war. It's time some body began to think about a system providing for the satisfaction of all these desires, a system with equity :for all, a system preventing in the future all this bloodshed and de struction headed straight for America. Howard, the playwright, tells us that we know what we want. Now somebody must tell us (a bit more specifically and realistically for the masses than Muste does) how all the world can get it. Again, you know, there isn't much time. series of robberies last year and previous years.. We know that it is never safe to allow books or ar ticles of clothing out of our sight for even a moment. And under a true honor system these facts should not appear! Only the campus can cope with this situation for three main rea sons: (1) It is a campus problem; (2) The very evident inefficiency of the Chapel Hill police; (3) the un willingness of students to bring about the effective operation of the honor system they cherish. The stu 'dent body has sadly failed in its duty '.to enforce the honor system in this, respect, and, yet, it;is within the power of any and every student to eliminate this worst of all evils. But students seem to be willing to pay See LETTERS TO EDITOR, page eWaiks Alone-With Men By Martha Oarapitr Fish Worley, eminent and respect ed director of Graham Memorial, has gone crazy. Hard to believe, isn't it? It was hard for us, too, but . it's true and it's a bitter pffl. This newly dis covered $but long present) mental unbal ance has mani fested itself in the strangest of manners, h o w ever. As is often the way in such cases, the subject has developed a mania. But it's not just an ordinary mania. He didnt start chasing but terflies, or collecting flowers, or eat ing worms, or anything simple like that. No such luck. He has developed the wildest, most fantastic, most in tense, and most unbelievable passion forof all things square dances. The whole thing started last sum mer when Fish became so interested in L'il Abner and the Dogpatchers, that he gradually worked himself around to believing that he, too, was a Dogpatcher. He got unsuspecting summer school students, including many a dyed-in-the-wool grammar and high school teacher, to meet in front of - the Book Exchange one night, and then swooped down on them with a square dance. Ever since then it has been nip and tuck, with the Director winning out in most cases. The freshmen were wel comed to Carolina by a square dance. We've had plain square dances and fancy square dances, arid square dance contests. But the absolute fcio4 ; e ma ktus ce -"sport" was reached this a when Our Director introduced CarS lina to New York society by ttea of a Square Dance at the Waldorf. Astoria. We're just a simple peop after all, I guess, but soaetah must be done about Director Wcr ley. He's off again with a Sadi Hawkins square dance this Satur day . . psychologists say its tie strangest case they've ever had.

Students Reorganize NC Club Which Existed in 1913-1914 ' wrote this play in 192j incidentally) hits the crux of ; the. present, inter national situation. i , 1 . , ' " Knowing what it wants, the world rushes pell mell to get it just as the male mob rushes the girls' wrap " booth after a dance. Germans tell ryou they are fighting for their lives in. a just cause,, refusing to give in because they remember the results of Versailles. With a strong 'leader who can afford no morals they scram ble helter skelter to get what they think they deserve. , . ; But the Allies have a girl's wrap top, and wha.t. they feel, is a just cause. They must halt the ruthless i monster who sweeps Europe with a materialistic world revolution to satisfy his lust for power and gain for the Germans what they desire. Japan fights desperately for her wrap. She hovers fearfully before a seemingly imperialistic United States, still realizing that she must expand if she is to live, if her pre sent leaders are to hold their power, and if she is to get what she wants. And others are scrambling after girls' wraps too, none of them do ling it sensibly because all of them refuse to do it sensibly. It's like a house of cards. AJ1 order flees when a few break the rules. It's pitiful to know that none will end up with what he wants permanently. The old cycle rolls around and around until, ' as Tony says, people everywhere be gin to think seriously about lasting peace. At the rate we're going now that situation will arise only when war has exhausted every nation so thoroughly that adjustment will be necessary to insure existence. So it all amounts to the fact that people everywhere have a desire to In view of the fact that a North Carolina club has been established .on the campus this year, a brief his ' tory of the old 'North Carolina club,1 which began in 1913-1914, is in " order. Both clubs were the result of student initiative and although they ! . are 'ye: different iri plan there are !(eertain ! f undamental Similarities' 7 I ' Irir 1913-1914 under .the inspira-: lotion r'Prderife ''ham, many state county groups werir I formed which united in1 'bririgin President E. C. Branson of Georgia ; State Normal, to Chapel Hill :to lmake an. address "concerning county v clubrwork In a paper surveying that early dub, Reed Kitchen saysr "In -his first speech at Carolina, Dr. -Branson emphasized ther need of a - greater knowledge of one's county and state, and his solution of this problem in Georgia was the subject ; of i. his . address." r - . .. - "; JDrBranson's visit sowed the seeds of interest in a North Caro lina club and when he returned in 1914 as Professor of Applied Eco nomics and Rural Sociology, final , steps, were taken for the organiza tion of the club. Mr. Kitchen says further that the .original idea "seems to have been the consolida tion of all the county groups into one super-club, known as the Greater North ' Carolina club." . "The first meeting was held in Gerrard hall and was characterized by much enthusiasm. Nearly 200 were present and snappy talks were delivered by President Edward Graham and Dr. Branson. Dr. Bran son was chosen president of the in fant club and Frank P. Graham, secretary." "From the start fortnightly meet ings were held, and then as now at every meeting of the club one of the members read a short paper, usual ly occupying an hour's time, on some economic or civic problem vital to the state." "In December, 1914, appeared the first issue of the University News Letter featuring the work of the club ... Debates also enlivened the meetings. The question of the first debate was: 'Resolved, that North Carolina should have a state wide dog tax for school support.' There were no - judges as the Ox ford Union system was used, the audience deciding b a plurality vote the winners." "Meeting at the YMCA every two weeks at 7:30 p. m., about 50 men got into the spirit of the work and took a more or less active part the ' first year, so that it was proposed to limit the membership to 50 in order that work might be more thorough and efficient. One hundred and seventeen : economic and ' social CSubjects were ybrked out the first i year," appeared 'in the University Newsvlieiter,' arid were reproduced in,the papers ! of this and other ' states. Such subjects' as pauperism, : : blindness "homicider snicide, and other subjects connected with - North Carolina life,-were presented, ; -giving the rank of North Carohna with other states 'in the Union. In less than a year this club had in ; v vestigated many subjects, and their ; findings received wide publicity." From then until 1924 the club was an active agent on the campus. In terest in it then gradually petered . out, but now it is back and it is . .hoped in all its glory. Its objec tive, for instance: to educate our . selves as students by learning the facts concerning the resources, problems and needs of North Caro lina economic, political and social is here again for all students to support. Marion Lippincott. Duke, Carolina Split South American Books South America has been split in two in the field of books by Duke university and the University of North Carolina. Duke is taking Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Columbia. L7. N. C. takes over Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile. Meanwhile Tulane university is taking over the Caribbean area. Under the arrangement, libraries of the three universities hope to avoid duplication in collecting books and public documents on Latin America. Grants by Rockefeller foundation will enable the three uni- versities to build up their collections. The campus of Drew university covers 120 acres.
