BOK PEACE PLAN RESULTS

plenty of room for contemplation.
Out of a student body of over 2000,
IU9 showed interest enough to vote.

WHY NORTH CAROLINA HAS NO
PRESS AGENT
What JNorth Carolina needs is a
press agent. She' has practically
everything ' else," was the leading
statement ' Iff Irvin S.'" Cobb's "article
ori North' Carolina" irk a "recent issue
of the" Hearst Magazine. ' The genial
writer shrewdly summed up ' North
Carolina's natural advantages and
present 'economic and educational ad
vances, and then' wondered why' she
didn't produce prolific journalists to
spread her fame. The answer is easy.
The state doesn't seem to be inter
ested in developing young publicity
agents, or more concretely, the state
University has made no extended ef
fort to build up a school of journal
ism. In fact, it isn't even offering
a single course in journalism this
year, and as yet has no definite plans
for next year.
There are at least fifty or sixty
students here who would make jour'
nalism their life work if the oppor
tunity were provided them. The only
newspaper training available to them
is work on the Tar Heel, which it
self is under a handicap because th
men composing the staff are untrain
ed and untaught, and must rely on
their own initiative for development
in newspaper work. A college iemi
weekly is a poor medium for train
ing of journalists, but it is the on)
means holding out any incentive for
this field in the University. It is
no wonder then that North Carolina
is woefully weak on self publicity
when her largest educational institu
tion gives no instruction in a profes
sion that is the most powerful mou'd
er of thought in the country.
We have no doubt that the Uni
ersity is aware of its failing in thys
respect, and is marking time until
it can establish a school of journal
ism j whenever the proper men and
funds can be secured. If the Univer
sity should by any chance select a
man to take over journalism next
year, he should be equipped with both
practical and theoretical training
preferably a man with vision and en
ergy who can teach the fundamentals
of newspaper work from his actual ex
perience on a daily paper. S-'uch a
man would have splendid opporiuni
ties to co-operate the class work with
the college publications and could
pave the way for a daily student news
paper. Nor would he be without stu
dents eager to learn the first lessons
in newspaper work, for there are
Many potential writers her?
waiting to be shown how.
only
For several years journalism has
been taught here under the English
department with indifferent success,
gradually growing weaker until now
it has dropped out of the curriculum
entirely. This may be due in part
to its connection with the English
department, for modern journalism
has little in common with English. It
should be a separate department if
it is to possess vital influence and
expand rapidly.
Until the University takes definite
action in installing a school of jour
nalism, students wishing to enter the
newspaper field must go elsewhere
lor the'r training, and the buck is
pissed to other colleges in the .state
to supply North Carolina with press
agents to tell the world of hsr activ
ities and growth.
Social etiquette is now being of
fered as a course to Wichita College
students. It includes table manners,
letter writing, and proper conduct
at all times. The purpose of the
course is to remove individual faults
and to develop social talents Ex.

THE WILDERNESS
BY J. OSLER BAILEY
v i - s-T'
Of the 'recenVplayDSoc land the
Shriek have "spoken! ' ; It's, getting latp,
but bear witn us ior a wora or two,
'"' ''
The audience at the recent showing
might be '.characterized as "dizzy but
not dumb." We.jise dumb literally.
In our humble opinion, the be&t 'of
the trio was "Fixin's", by at least
some margin. It was a ' good play,
and got back to the original. Playmak-
er idea in first-rate form. .
However, as we observed the heart
and-ear-rending debacle of rural af
fection, brought on primarily by the
drabness of life in the country, a
thought actually occurred to us. Now,
the persistent play-goer in Chapol
Hill will recall that nearly all of the
successful Playmaker tragedies havo
centered about just one topic, the flat
ness of country life. "Peggy," "John
Lane's Wife," and the recent "Fixin's"
are admirable illustrations. Person
ly, we feel that the connotation is
erroneous. North Carolina country
life is a glorious experience, if one
does it with discretion. The same
is true of North Carolina town life.
But we cannot conceive of anything
more drab, flat, and tasteless than
life in the railroad-siding towns, the
cotton-mill towns, and the poorer sec
tions of even our most splendid cit
ies. "Many a farmer" leaves his roll
ing acres and goes seeking the more
abundant life in, for an example, the
paradise of "Fixin's," Dunn, N. C,
or Selma, or Clayton, or Durham. Per
haps he finds it, but we will hazard
a hearty guess that when the heath-
r begins to bloom in the spring
more than one, or one hundred, pale
young man or listless maiden stands
behind loom or notion counter and
thinks all day of country roads and
apple blossoms. There is tragedy
for you, North Carolina Dramatist.
We were mildly surprised recently
when a Co-ed actually asked us to
run fraternity ratings in our Colyum.
The order left us almost as dizsy
and somewhat more dumb, literally,
than the average "woman student."
But we resolved to satiate the fair
charmer, and thus after a few weary
days of silent sleuthing, we submit
the following ratings for the edifica
tion of all females who would be
properly informed. If further infor
mation is desired, we refer you to
Roger Babson and the income tax re
ports. The Co-ed's pride i3 Kappa Zig,
Her shame is Sigma Pi.
She loves to dance with Shaku Leg,
And pet with Heva Psi.
She wears the pin of Sigma Sig
Upon her boyish blouse,
And thinks a fellow is a prig
If he does never souse!
That's how they rate at Russell Inn
The Ribbon-Wearer's Row!
And every Co-ed wears the pin
Of Chi Omega Joe.
The- Bynum Gymnasium recently
acquired a new outfit of dunibells.
There was a good deal of consterna
tion in the Freshman gym. classes
when the little dears discovered that
the new bells were painted red. Don't
let it worry you, Friend Frosh, you'll
see many a dumbell painted red on the
Carolina campus ere you don your
cap and gown.
A new Cafeteria has come to town.
We believe it has come to stay as a
Carolina institution. Lately, the Cafe
teria "tradition" has become so
thoroly engrained into student life
that it is making even ponderous old
Swain Hall stagger. Miss Cates only
recently built an extra counter in her
emporium to take care of her horde
of customers; the double barrage
seemed strong enough at first to lop
the line, but she installed two such
charming and entirely painless ex
traction experts, so to speak, that the
deluge doubled and the line became
longer than ever.
To drop banter, we welcome the
new-born Cafeteiia. There is room
for it here. May it grow up with us,
and old with us, in health and rosy
cheeked prosperity.
' A self-help friend of ours has pre
vailed upon us to say a line or two
about the petty filching of apples
by some of the cruel ogres who in
habit this campus-on-a-hill. It is the
duty of a Wilderness to be wild, and
not at all to moralize, but, really
now, the Carolina spirit does amount
to something, and a 6c apple is not
worth Btealing. Let's pass it up this
wk. Perhaps we shall coiritatft
it and apply the proper adjectives in
the next Wilderness.
