Vol. XXXII. Feb. 5, 1924. No. 31
About the only oasis for the boot
leggers in the winter quarter is the
week following the state board law
exams.
Make no engagements for the fore
end of Wednesday evening. Julia
Claussen sings in Memorial Hall. That
should be enough.
Certain postmasters who owe
thanks to the Great Oil Party for
their daily bread should remember
that the American people1 demand
common courtesy and respect be
shown by it's employees on the death
of a great war president. All Mon
day the flag on the local- post-office
remained at the top of its pole. We
are quite sure that news of Wilson's
death penetrated even into provincial
Republican post-ofiices.
And it might be added that it is
a common report there were pro
fessors so engrossed in their learned
discourses as to be oblivious to the
tolling of Old South Bell at high noon
in honor of the late Mr. Wilson. There
are times when absent-mindedness
becomes impossible, even in college
professors.
We have lists of required reading
for Freshmen. We propose the fol
lowing for the faculty, from the
kenan boys down to the teaching
fellows: "The Higher Learning in
America," a series of monthly art
icles in the Smart Set; Ludwig Lew
isohn's, "Upstream": "Grey Towers":
the collected works of Alexander
Meiklejohn; and that devastating opus
of Upton Sinclair which appeared last
year on the subject of university con
trol, the name of which slips us at
the time. We will, however, adont
research tactics, and be able to give
the name of this last book to any
conscientious student in this group
who will call at our office hotwivt
four and five in the afternoon. That'll
do for the first assignment.
It is with peculiar pleasure, as one
oi ute dear temporarily departed ones
was wont to remark, that we announce
that the Tar Heel has again pre
vailed upon a young man known to
lage as "Soc' to review the second
series of Carolina Folk Plays to be
presented at the High School audi
torium this week-end. The business
manager anticipates an increased de
mand for the issue one week hence.
The custard pie is awarded this
week to a younj gentleman who re
marked at the last meeting of one of
the honorary organizations that Caro
Una Magazine is not appreciated on
the campus because it is too liter
ary."
MORRISON FROWNS BUT ALL IS
WELL
When Governor Morrison lashed
out against the raising of the Law
School standard, he was fighting a
futile battle against the rising cur
rent of education in North Carolina,
and in spite of his efforts the Uni
versity Law , school will be placed
on a grade "A" basis in 1925. In the
fashion of a Don Quixote, Governor
Morrison announced that he would
not give ud the issue, and if neces
sary, would carry the measure to the
general assembly, which of course
could only be expected from a born
fighter.
The Governor's chief objection was
the assertion that a crreat many men
would be barred from the law school
under the new two year collegiate
training ruling because of lack of
prior traininc. It is easy to under
stand the Governor's complex regard
ing this. He harked back to his own
legal training when no such require
ments were in force, yet he oecame
a success in his profession, and. in
cidentally, rose to the highest poli
tical office in the state. Other prom
inent men of today could be cited,
who did not avail themselves of pre
law courses, but became successful
lawyers nevertheless. Text books, you
know, dont make a lawyer: it's the
grinding experience of the first years
of practice that count.
But wouldn't the Governor have
been just as successful if he had
profited from two years collegiate
training before entering the law
school? If he had included biology
in his preliminary training, perhaps
he wouldn't have such a deep abhor
rence and fear of monkeys and their
dangerous influences on hfgh school
education. If he himself had taken
two years in an academic school, he
probably would "be more in sympathy
with the ruling that places the Uni
versity Law school on a higher stand
ard. The collegiate courses enable
a man to enter the law school in a
state of deeper maturity, gives him
a greater sense of value, makes him
an eager student, and immeasurably
raises the law school scholastic stand
ard. A student should not be rush
ed into a law school or any nrol'es-
sional school, for that matter, with
out a higher foundation than high
school training as a working hasis
The freshman and sophomore years
in the academic school might spread
new helds of activity before the stu
dent that appeal far more tn him
than law and in the end are more
valuable to him.
Statistics show that only twenty
nine men out of 125 in the Univer
sity Law school have had as little
as one year of college work, and
great many have the broadening ad
vantage or a college degree to their
credit. Present day

PATTERSON BROS.
THE DESERT
THE SHRIEK
The editor of our favorite colle
e-iate semi-weekly, being from Bos
ton and hoping to get a rise out of
us, handed us the following list of
questions to be answered:
Why won't a snowball bounce?
Who is king of the Tennis Court?
Why is the ocean so near the
shore?
If you were a cannibal, would you
draw the color line?
Have you got any bananas?
Was Davie really drunk when he
founded the University?
Is the Hayshaker in love?
Is there any feasible reason why
the student body should read ths
Desert? .
What is ho' with the cinema in
Chapel Hill?
After due consideration we have
decided to refuse to answer any of
the above questions. Really, dear eld
companion, several of them are posi
tively silly. On second thought,
however, we detect a gleam of mental
ity in the last query, so at some early
date we shall have our man Wednes
day 'go and cinema' and make re
port. Our own sentiments on the sub
ject are unprintable.

In the meantime, Wednesday has

"A cap as good as the cream"
High praise for Williams Shaving Cream is contained in
this suggested slogan for the Hinge-Cap. Yet truly, the
combination of faster beard-softening, elimination of razor
' friction through lubrication of the skin, and the extra
ordinary care of the skin which Williams gives, has never
been equalled by any other shaving cream. And Williams
is a pure product, absolutely without coloring matter!

MICHAEL FARADAY
1791-1807
Apprentice to an Englishbook
binder. Attracted the atten
tion of Sir Humphrey Davy,
becoming his assistant. "The
greatest experimentalist of all
times," says one biographer.
The electrical unit Farad was
named for him.
In 1880 the Edison
Electric Illuminating
Company, of New York
City, installed a genera
tor of 1200 lamps cap
acity, then considered
a giant. By continuous
experimentation and re
eearch the General
Electric Company has -developed
generators
S00 times as powerful
as this wonder of forty
years ago.
"What's the use of itf
Michael Faraday saw the real beginning
of the age of electricity nearly a century
ago when he thrust a bar magnet into a
coil of wire connected with a galvanometer
and made the needle swing.
Gladstone, watching Faraday at work in
his laboratory, asked, "What's the use of
it?" The experimenter jestingly replied,
"There is every probability that you will
soon be able to tax it" The world-wide use
of electricity that has followed the Faraday
discovery abundantly justifies the retort
to Gladstone.
Faraday's theory of lines of force is con
stantly applied in the Research Laboratories
of the General Electric Company in de
vising new electrical apparatus of which
Faraday never dreamed Every generator
and motor is an elaboration of the simple
instruments with which he first discovered
and explained induction.
