Herbert Soholz Editor for Alumni M. Z- Rhodes Publicity Editor Advertising Bates Upon Request We notice that one college pa per calls the attention of the pub lic to the fact that it is “the most readable college paper in the state.” In our infancy it might be rather far-fetched to aspire to such a thing. But we are set to wondering to whom "we should go as anthority if we desired to compete for this honor. “The Volunteer” is making its regular appearance in the field of journalism. This is the second year in the history of this inter esting little paper. It can hardly be classed with college journal ism, and yet it is more directly related to this than to any other field of newspaper work. “The Volunteer” is published by the North Carolina Student Volun teer Union in the interest of its work. The recent elections have fur nished a rich field for the public press. While we were little con cerned. we are forced to think that Darwin might have been right about his “monkey theory” when we see what monkeys some peo ple make of themselves on elec tion day. It is enough to disgust a citizen of America with his own government when he sees what crude methods are evolved in pol itics. If you want to determine if a man is a gentleman, discuss politics with him. THE GLEE CLUB To be classed among the best colleges in this day it is necessary for an institution to foster the dif ferent phases of life that are pop ular among the young people of the day. These activities are the most forceful advertisements the school can have. It is true that the type of man or woman a col lege puts out is a safe method w'hereby a college may be judged ; but an institution will never have the opportunity to graduate wor thy men and women without hav ing means of making the school a popular one by fostering these different branches of school life. In the past there have been des perate struggles to make the glee club a going propositoin, but somehow it has. failed. Last year the idea of such an organization was abandoned altogether. This year an exceptional opportunity is offered the college to have a glee club. Professor Greenwood, being an experienced concert singer, is efficient to furnish the necessary training to develop aj" successful organization. Professor Greenw'ood has al ready organii^d the club and is rapidly rounding the members into shape for public appearance. It is up to the college and the students to furnish them the nec essary support. We must have strong organiza tion of college departments; we must have strong professors at the heads of the various depart ments: but to have a really suc cessful and progressive college, we must have good representative organizations representing the tal ent and ability of the students in different activities. SECURING AN EDUCATION; SOME aspects' (By C. B. Riddle) A few days ago there appeared aii article in the daily ))ress coiicerniug self lu‘lp students at tlic University of Xorth Carolina that deserves more than passing notice. Tlie article stated-that students at the University who are worliing their way through are earning several tlionsand dollars each year. If tlie actual figures were secured from all the colleges in Xorth Carolina showing what is actually earned each year by self-help students I am of the opinion that the figures would be startling. Here is hope that such information may be gattiered by someone and given to tlie public. The change in economic conditions, big wages and war prices during recent vears have not made everybody rich. As a matter of fact there are thousands today who are poorer because of these tilings than before. The number of young men and young w’omen who are working their way through college, in whole or in part, is growing rather than lessening. It is a false supposition to think that all these persons are paupers or are even from poor families. It is true that the lack of a dollar may be in some instances the primary motive for a young man to undertake to w^ork his way through college or university, but there may be found in our State Uni versity, and in all of our colleges, young men who are helping to defray their expenses as they go who are not actu ally forced to do so. Such young meu are to be congratulated because an edu cation that is imbued with the spirit of work will pvodyce that type of young men that our State needs most. The educational institutions of North Carolina are to be congratulated for opening up the avenues of labor, for oiJering opportunities for ambitious men and women who desire to do some work while they secure their education, whether that w-ork be for the direct benefit of m'eeting their expenses, or to help keep alive that spirit of indus try that is naturally born in the Amer ican heart. In all the college cata logs that I have ever examined there is usually a chapter devoted to this phase of educational life. There is a midway ground that should be recognized. It is just as disastrous to the possibilities of a thorough col lege course to be forced to work too much in earning money while pursuing a collegiate course as it is to swing in the other direction and have too much money to spend. I think, however, that there is more safety on the side of the lack of money than too much of it. But after all, it is largely the indivi dual. As a rule we do about what we undertake to do, and there are men who have gone to college without dollar and have made a most remark able record as students, carrying enough manual or clerical work to meet their expenses. I must digress here to say that in my opinion the quest of a college edu cation is losing its charm to all too many because of the many things that high schools are endeavoring to under take. The high schools are undertaking so much that is patterned after college life that too many of our high school graduates are led to belieVe that they have “completed” all that is in the educational realm. The fancy diplomas that are now delivered to high school graduates, the elaborate class exercises class rigs, etc., are no doubt misleading their efficacies. Tlie result is that they are led to believe that they ar- just as well T)f¥ without a college edu cation. This is a day of great educational ailvancement. The day brings oppor tunities for the best educatioii w'hich are within the reach of everyone. No young man or young woman with a good mind may be deprived of the best that we have to offer if he or she is willing to pay the price of study. Tt is a day of diversified education; a day of specialization. No young person is to be left behind for the lack of money. Men of means are pouring their thous ands into the support of our educa tional institutions and do so with the high hope that deserving boys tind girls shall have a chance. It is a wonderful tribute to the spirit of democracy that leaders may come from the humble hovel as well as the stately mansion. It is Americans pride to elevate the sons of the soil, the vet eran of the loom, and the newsboys of the street, as well as the son of the millionaire.

Let’s talk about vour college education further. In the days before yesterday w'hcn I was first browsing on this 25 aker campus my studies looked so heavy off hand that I signed the dotted Hue for french and how I was bit thereby is amidship this tale. I run into french cause I had had opportunities 1st hand to study him in his habitat and dugout in France when w’e was on the continental tour with the Expeditionairy. Forces. College french aint french, its linguis tic anatomy. Stead of walking up to some guy with “Bon jour masseur,’’ we takes a little book and studies words what aint what they apears to be. Then somebody another says, “Mr. Smith will read the 3rd sentence by translating for us. Then I drags my wits ends in often the R. R. tracks ani reads for an example to you like this: “Ca et la en Francais vous etes sur la table,” this translated into Ameri can is, “Here and there in France keep offen the table.And they says thats french. You knows and me likewise that to get this thought across to a frenchie called frog we would of mebbe drew a bayonet and yelped in modern french, “Say you frog, dee-don, savvy voo, exit pronto offen the bean board. I am w'eary unto sickness of book french cause teacher says I am always w'rong & I dont dare back up no an swer. Me who was one of us on divers occasions when we would of starved if ■W’e could not of spoke the understand able french. Here I sits' in class try ing to keep my mind on the line they is mumbling over but it goes back via Hoboken to other sides & I gets hun gry to see the frogs and you and me all laundered up and beatin into some of their 6 house, cities for an evenins entertainments. Wonder where the little restrant boy called Garcon is? Wheres Marie and old Pap Jean? We used to make them understand o.k. for they would shrugg there shoulders and smile. Boy Billy, couldn’t Babetje sing? Specially choruses. Cant you hear— “Et tu je amore, Huit cheval ou quarante hommes, Souffler chemin de fer, Mio doux pomme de terre.” Gee, I wisht I could hear her once more up at Nancys in the little inn door. No, and you w’ould not shed any tears to see little dark eyed Marionette clacking down the cobbles in them lit tle w’ooden shoes waving dainties hand and calling, “‘Arresty-voo, pour moi, mon Meester Billay.” No you wouldn’t. Its one of life’s ironkness, Billy. Ive wrote about 10 letters to that little sprite in L’or de Chapelle and never an answer. All Ive got is letters back and a tiny kodaks pitcher of her. I no I couldn’t of been wrong for I wrote it down, its Maduni Mozelle, 82 la rue de chien, L’Or da Chapelle, France. Guess her daddy thinks its la w^ar and la guere is armisticed.
