Those fellows from over in Wake may be embryonic preachers, but they can put more gusto in their appreciation of the other fellow's hard luck than any people that have come under our observation in a long time. Judging from the congestion about boarding houses in Chapel Hill it would seem that students with some of the qualities of Lord Mayor McSwiney would find themselves very happily placed here. As it is it takes a good man to eat a good meal before someone takes his seat, yelling "time for second shift." A CHANGE Beginning with this week the pub lication dates of The Tar Heel will be Tuesday and Friday instead of Wednesday and Saturday as was previously announced. We believe that this will enable us to greatly improve its quality as a news medium, and be of more service to the University and community. WHY Below we print a copy of a letter which is self-explanatory. We hope to obtain relief from the present very unsatisfactory manner in which local mail isbeing handled, and get The Tar Heel to you immediately after its publication. Mr. R. S. McRae, Postmaster, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. My dear Sir: I am writing you about the manner in which local mail is being handled in the hope that you may do something to facilitate matters, and give us better service. The situation with regard to The Tar Heel is now well nigh intolerable. On Saturday afternoon, September 25th, we placed the first issue of the paper in the postoffice. None of these were put in the boxes of the addresses until Sunday after noon; and on the following Tuesday I saw people, who told me that they had been going for. their mail regu larly, taking these papers from their boxes. Those papers could not have been put up for more than a very few hours then. And again, on Saturday, October 2nd, a member of The Tar Heel staff saw a pile of papers in the office (he estimated there to be four hundred of them) that were posted on the Thursday prior. If we can't place The Tar Heel in the hands of our subscribers within a reasonable length of time after publication it loses its whole force, and our efforts are futile. We are helpless in your hands, and yet we are paying for service. In the future The Tar Heel will be published every Tuesday and Friday, and those for local sub scribers will be put in the postoffice by mid afternoon.' These we intend to come out on the evening, eight o'clock, mail. What; may be ex pected? Very truly yours, DANIEL L. GRANT. Chapel Hill, N. C. October 2, 1920. on higher learning. We might sit in Chapel Hill and cry aloud about conditions for years without its reaching the ears of the mass of North Carolinians; or, even if it should reach the people, it would be in an unimpressive indefi nite way. So great have been the changes, and so many have been the unexepected events during the last few years until the public will pay attention to nothing short of a war. Its consciousness has become numbed. Five years ago, if the present conditions in the colleges could have suddenly developed, the news would have spread to every part of the state at once. Now it is difficult for us on the ground to recognize all the difficulties in which we are involved. . In the forty-seven men who came to Chapel Hill we have the leaven that should soon spread to the whole lump. Everything must be worked from the bottom up. When once the people of the state realize the conditions we will have the beginning of the end of our present difficulties. We know, and the people of the state knows, that education is the handmaid of pro gress. The best indicator of the wealth and progressiveness of a country is the degree to which its citizenry is educated. As soon as the people think of this definitely, and life it above present political fights the need for educational facilities will be met. But nothing short of a definite contact with the University, and the other colleges of the " state, or with someone who is in direct contact with these condi tions will cause our people to think definitely. We believe with Burke that the salvation of a democracy lies in "an enlightened citizenry;" and there is no better way to enlighten the citizenry of North Carolina on this question than the method that has just been initiated. FOUR COUNTY CLUBS ORGANIZED FOR YEAR THE ALUMNI CONFERENCE Three days .after students, repre senting seventy-five counties of North Carolina met in Gerrard Hall to consider what they might do to help alleviate the present over crowded condition of the University, forty-seven Alumni met Saturday night in Chapel Hill, at the invita tion of President Chase, to get first hand knowledge of the situation here. These young alumni had the interest of higher education and North Carolina at heart, and now they have the facts as a basis on which to work. Not only is Chapel Hill over crowded, but the same situation holds at all the colleges of the state. And it is vital that all North Carolina become conscious of this situation now; or else there may be several years of over crowded Alleghany County The Alleghany County Club held its first meeting of the year Thurs day night. Several matters of business were discussed, among which was the matter of publicity relative to the crowded and cramped conditions existing on the campus. The club decided to push a cam paign of publicity in its county in order to create sentiment in favor of legislation to relieve the present conditions. In the election of offi cers for the year W. P. Hudson was made president and Clayton Ed wards secretary. Gaston County The Gaston County Club held its first smoker of the year Friday night at the club room at the Y. M. C. A. Several former members of the club were present as well as a number of new men. Short talks were made by Messrs. Arrowood, E. R. Rankin, Wilson, Kiser, and Line berger. Refreshments, were served during the evening. The member ship of the club this year is the larg est ever known in its history, total ing 30 members. The officers for the year are: C. T. Boyd, president; H. G. Kincaid, vice-president; S. R. McClurd, secretary and treasurer. Wake County At its first meeting of the year Friday, October 1, the Wake County Club elected the following officers for the present year. W. Brantley Womble president, C. B. Honeycutt, vice-president, C. L. G. Ashby, secretary, and E. G. Rand. treasurer. There are in college this year lorty-three men from Wake, making it, one of the largest county organizations on the Hill. Robeson County The Robeson County Club met Fiiday night, October 1st, for the election of officers and for the dis cussion of the proposed publicity campaign to be directed by county clubs. The club decided to start a campaign immediately among the alumni of Robeson County. R. W. Proctor was elected president of the club and Rodin Britt was chosen as secretary and treasurer. MEMBERS OF ALUMNI MEET AT UNIVERSITY AT CALL OF FACULTY (Continued from page one) which prevails at practically all the state institutions. 3. The University alumni will have meetings during the Christmas holidays at which the local students who attend the University will be invited to attend for the purpose of discussing with the alumni the means of presenting the situation squarely before the state legisla ture. . The tremendous increase in the student body at the University in the past few years and the indica tions that the high schools of the state are going to turn out grad uates in even larger numbers in the next few years have brought home to University officials the necessity for taking steps to meet the future problems of higher education in the state. The alumni who attended the meeting Saturday night were: Messrs. Lenoir Chambers, E. C. Byerly, V. S. Bryant, L. H. Hodges, L. P. McLendon, J. W. Umstead, W. S. Howard, . D. Winston, W. F. Taylor, E.
