Less than one per cent of Ameri can men are college graduates, yet this one per cent of college gradu ates has furnished: Fifty-five per cent of our presi dents, 36 per cent of the members of Congress, 47 per cent of the speak ers of the House, 54 per cent of the vice-presidents, 62 per cent of the secretaries of state, 50 per cent of the secretaries of the treasury, 67 per cent of the attorney .generals, 69 per cent of the justices of the Supreme Court, 60 per cent of the men com posing the constitutional convention. Charles Thwing, president emeritus of Western Reserve University, made an investigation in which he found that in proportion to their number, college trained men attained to great wealth 277 times as often as the non college men; that they attained Rep resentatives 352 times as often as the non-college men; to a seat in the national Senate 530 times as often; to the presidency 1392 times as often; and to the United States Supreme Court 2027 times as often.

MASS ATHLETICS NOW UNDER WAY Basketball Leagues Have Al ready Begun the Schedule Soccer Soon The intra-mural athletic program for this quarter has already gotten under way, starting with basket ball. There is now both a dormitory and a fraternity league of basket ball. There are fourteen teams in the fra ternity league and twelve in the dor mitory league. The champions in these two leagues will play for the University championship, the winner being awarded the silver basket ball given by the Order of the Grail. Games are played every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday af ternoon from 3:00 to 4:00 and from 4:45 to 5:45. Each team will play two games a week, making a total of sixteen games for each team, the season lasting eight weeks. The standing of each team will be deter mined on a percentage basis just as was tag football. The referees of the basket ball league are furnished by the intra mural office, but the scorers are not. The following method of scoring is being given a try-out. It has the advantage of familiarizing the men with the scoring of basket ball games. During the month of January soccer practice will be held every af ternoon on Emerson Field. It will start as soon as the field gets in shape. From February 3 until March 8 there will be a soccer league . be tween the dorms with one fraternity league. As this is a new sport on the campus, it is very much desired that everybody who is interested get quite a bit of practice before the sea son starts. Championship is to bq de termined on a percentage basis. The third sport of the quarter is boxing and wrestling. Eliminations will take place by means of meets between the various teams, the units being the same as they are in soccer Eliminations will begin during the month of February. As soon as a team loses a match it will be elimi nated from the series. The fourth and last intra-rcural. event for the quarter is the indoor track carnival to be held in the new "tin Barn" early in March. It will be preceded by a preliminary carni val in February. The units will be the same as in the soccer league. The events have not been decided on yet. Coach Bob Fetzer will be field boss for the carnival. 2NGLISH COMPOSITION CONDITIONS Students who have incur ed a condition in composi tion in connection with courses in English will be given an opportunity to re move this condition by spe cial examination Friday, February 1, at 4:30 p. m.

C. Club Monday INTERESTING STATISTICS At the regular fortnightly meeting of the North Carolina Club Monday night, January 21, in Saunders Hall, Miss Catherine Wilson, a graduate student of the University, read a pa per on "County Boards of Public Welfare." According to Miss Wilson's sta tistics, only 46 of the 100 counties now have full-time superintendents of public welfare, while in 44 the superintendent of schools is suppos ed to do the work. Eight counties have half-time public welfare super intendents and two are unorganized. Her report stated that investiga tion had proved it impossible for one man, no matter how good an execu tive, to do the combined work of sup erintendent of sc i c's and superin tendent of publii '. i . with their present lack of ussi.t 'e only solution, she said, is to - the two offices separate and distinct "A competent superintendent of public welfare," she said, "must be an expert sociologist, which a coun ty superintendent of schools usually is not. To superimpose another of fice on the superintendent of schools is likely to result disastrously either to the man himself, or the offi;e most likely the latter." In support of this statement she quoted Samuel Leonard, head of the Bureau of Coun ty Organization, who said in regard to one man carrying the burden of both offices: "The duties are really so varied that it is impossible for any one person to do any of them well. That is one trouble with the welfare work in counties where only one person is employed to do the field and office work." In' addition to the appointment of a full-time public welfare superin tendent for each county, she suggest ed that the board members be varied according to population so that all lo calities might be represented; thnt the superintendent of public welfare be relieved of the investigation of cases, said work to be done by mem bers of the board; that the board members be assigned the duty o via iting penal and charitable institutions and reporting, and finally that the work of this board, "now rather flex ible and vague," should be made very definite. Miss Wilson cited many good re sults of the present system, pointing out' that three-fourths of the coun ties now organized are doing splen did work. Increase of school attend ance has been one striking result; in January 1921, a total of 99,762 chil dren of compulsory school age had been brought into the schools by ac tion of the county superintendents. She praised the work done by full time superintendents of public wel fare in Durham and Mecklenburg counties, and cited the accomplish-. ments in detail us evidence of what other counties might do. Intra-Mural Athletics j The wise heads of the tag football world has picked an All-University team. . Six men were asked to vote to determine who were the best in this branch of intra-mural sports at the University, and here is the result: right end, P. C. Gibson, South; right tackle, P. D.

This is the first time in the history of the University, so far as we are able to learn, that two young ladies have walked to Durham and this feat was evidently the result of an endurance test. It seems a fair comparison with the famous Marathon dancing contests, at least it was a test of foot endurance without the music. In this case the music was probably de layed until next day when the young ladies were groaning with sore feet. According to all evidence the nov elty of a hike to Durham was com pletely gone so far as these par ticular co-eds are concerned. There certainly appeared to be no bigger attraction in Durham for them than Bull Durham. The tone in which they greeted Bull would have made one think that he was a long lost friend who was just returning home. It is safe to guess that the ride back in Bull's bus was appreciated as much as if they could have ridden in a pullman car. At this writing it is unable to be learned whether the young ladies have been able to walk without crutches or not. jmrnaauttttamamt Foi Fire Insurance and Real Estate See The CHAPEL HILL INSURANCE & REALTY CO.

General reports state that the Coach reduced his squad to about 35 men, and that of this number a first squad of ten men has been selected. Although four of the alleged "sev en best" of the prospective freshmen basketballers flunked their work dur ing the fall quarter and are ineligi ble, nevertheless it is expected that the first year men will be represent ed by a fast basketball five. Promising forwards are Sides, last year with Ellerbee high school, Dill of New Bern high, and Gresham, sent down by Marvin Ritch from Moores ville High School. Wilson is also showing up well as a forward. Gilligan, Reidsville High's center last year, the team that was runner up for the western title, G. Carmi chael, of Charlotte High, brother cf Paul Carmichael, of. last year's frosh team; Calhoun, from Rocky Mount High; and Sarsfield captain of Ashe ville High in 1922, are making an ex cellent showing at the pivot position. The .outstanding guards are Pier- sail, from Georgia Military Academy; Royster, of Oxford High; and Hack ney, Durham High, who was selected two years ago as All-State high school guard. No schedule has been announced, but the Freshies, it is said, will meet and attempt to conquer Chapel Hill high school some time this week The University Extension Division is busily organizing extension classes which will begin their new terms February first, according to informa tion obtained from the Bureau of Cor respondence and Class Instruction. Last autumn for the first time a novel experiment for this state the conduct of regular University classes through the medium of exten sion courses in numerous communi ties of the state was tried. The ex periment has been a great success, it is stated, and the Bureau of Cor respondence and Class Instruction is planning to carry forward this work with great vim and vigor. The classes held corresponded close ly to the regular classes conducted at the University. University profes sors taught these classes. A total of 426 students in numerous towns of the state registered for the exten sion courses this fall, and received instruction under Professors Steiner, Mosher, Odum, Meyer, Fernald, Tra bue, Murchison, Atkins, McKie, Jor dan, and Allport. Classes are being held at Roxboro, Lexington, Oxford, Durham, Greensboro, Salisbury, San ford, Roanoke Rapids, Concord, Shel by, Gastonia, Raleigh, Thomasville, and Reidsville. : Part of the requirements for the A. B. degree may be taken through these extension courses, provided the student has the necessary number of college entrance credits. UNIVERSITY AND TOWN INSTALL NAVAL CLOCKS The University and Town of Chap el Hill are installing a new system of clocks which are to be connected with the Washington Naval Obser vatory. After another week has passed Chapel Hill can truthfully say that she is not behind the time of other places, for all this week West ern Union men have been busily en gaged in fixing the wire connections in offices, stores and various build ings. The clocks, which are rented in stead of being bought, have been or dered and will be here within the ne;ct week. They will be immediate ly installed in most of the down town offices and in several University buil dings, besides the many stores. Each one is connected with the private wire so the clocks can be set hourly by the Washington time. The old electric wound clocks be longing to the University doesn't fit the new arrangement; so they are to be discarded where the new ones are to be used. But just how many the University is planning to install is not yet known. No University credit is allowed for the course, but the prospective teach er will find generally that the abil ity to coach a team or referee a game will add considerably to the salary he may command. The course is open to any wb ''?h tfjfe W T, T A TVTCF.T? ST ,F,Y Tankersley Building Cigars Fruit Cakes Candies sjmm8:K:m::jtnKtnj::::mt:tR::Jir.tn:tt; E. Y. HOWELL, President C. B.
