The sandy headed forward looks good for an all-South Atlantic "Well, we can't win all the time," ' advises the campus optimist. Do you suppose the advocates of the Poole bill would consent to the inser tion of an "h" just after the "P"? We next look for some legislative body in the states to pass several amendments to the laws of gravity. , , Rameses made his first appearance at a Carolina bsketball game. His debut was applaused again and again by the enthusiastic student admirers of the dear old Tar Heer mascot. The brilliant idea of Cheer Leader Huggins received a unanimous praise from the spectators. The stunt was pulled without any premonition on the part of the student body. - It made a big hit. . ' The Valentine meeting of the Di and Phi societies tonight should be an in teresting session. This is the first time to our knowledge that the two societies have ever met in joint ses sion. Old - alumni of the societies would probably violently oppose such a love feast. J. W. Bailey seems . to have gotten into a mell of a hess in his attacks on the Kluckers. We admire the courage and conviction of Mr. Bailey in carry ing his fight against the Ku Klux Klan to the State. The wearers of the white sheet have yet to put something over on the Wake man. An audience of ten people heard Dr. Robert Pretlow speak on the religious situation in Russia Thursday night. Thre were two students who attended the lecture. One of these took a good many notes on the lecture and ap peared extremely interested in what the speaker was saying. This student was The TAR HEEL reporter. ' But how could a lecturer expect to have a large crowd of students out to hear of religious conditions in Russia when bsketball conditions in the South Atlantic division demanded that the student body lend its attention to the game with the South Carolina Game cocks. It is getting so that there are two or three interesting happenings on the Hill every night. A man will have to choose the one he will attend. THE UNIVERSITY'S POSITION ON - EVOLUTION. The University of North Carolina through its official head has taken a stand in regard to the teaching of evo lution or evolutionary doctrines them selves. It is a stand, however, for the principles of freedom of thought which embodies the freedom of discussion and conclusion. In his chapel talk yesterday morn ing, Dr. Chase clearly and concretely defined the University's position on evolution. It has expressed no opin ion on evolution. It matters not to the University whether or not a student or teacher may or may not have his own convictions as to the truthfulness of the doctrine that man is linked in blood relationship with some lower form of life. The thing that the Uni versity is now opposing is the prohib iting of freedom of thought at which the Poole bill is aimed. It is a matter of fact that many great and well respected men of our nation have expressed themselves believers in the evolutionary principles. It is also a matter of fact htat, as Dr. Chase pointed out, no religious denomina tion or sect in the State has passed so drastic an action as the Poole bill would have. ' The function of the University has been defined as two-fold. First it is to transmit the learning and knowl edge of the past, and secondly, it is to contribute additions to learning. When limitations are placed upon the right of study and investigation and experi mentation, then it is no longer the freedom of thought which we consider so important in our political and reli gious considerations.' With this liml tation on the field of experimentation the second function of the University would be the second function of the University would be materially hand! capped in the biology and its related studies. Not only does the Poole bill remind one of the lists of prohibited books of the middle ages but it is di rectly in contrast with the spirit and in fact the letter of both the Const! tion of the United States and that of the State. We believe that the general average of the people including even many supposedly enthusiasts of education have jumped at the wrong conclusion in regard to the stand taken by the University. They have pictured the University as an out and out advocate of evolutionary principles and at the same time an enemy to those whose opinions on evolution may concur with Mr. William Jennings Bryan and other notorious and noted oppoents of the hypothetical doctrine of evolutionary develpment. The University does not seek to prohibit the teaching of con trary doctrines to the evolutionary theory, and it likewise cannot take a stand to prohibit the teaching of evo lution. It does take a decided stand for the freedom of thought and, lib erty of conscience that is so vital a part of our national principles of in dividual freedom and liberty. The administrative board of the grad uate school met last Thursday and de cided that teaching fellowships would be offered in the following departments: I in botany; 3 in chemistry; 1 in civil engineering; 2 in economics and com merce; Vln education; 3 in English; 1 int Geology; 3 in history; 2 in mathe matics; 2 in psychology; 2 in romance languages; X in sociology; 1 in zoology, and 1 in physics. ' These fellowships are open to students who have a bachelor's degree or expect to get one this spring. All applications have to be in by March 15 and awards will be made by April 1. . , The Woman's Association will be, at home at Mrs. Marvin H. Stacy's on Sat urday afternoon from 4 to 6. The pub lic is cordially invited. .

St Hilda's Guild of the Episcopal church will give a dance at the Gimghoul lodge on Friday evening, February 20. Admission will be $1. An audience of ten persons heard Dr. Robert Pretlow, director of relief work in Russia for the Quaker church, speak on the religious situation in Russia. Dr. Pretlow did not confine himself to the religious "situation alone, but talked os well of political and social conditions. One of the planks of the Soviet gov ernment is, he declared, that God has no place in the universe. No man of ad mitted religious .belief can hold office in this government.- To the Russian mind there is some reason for this, because the old Greek Catholic church was an in strument of terrible oppression. The priests became rich and the church tre mendously wealthy while the people were poor and oppressed. The government subsidized the church in the old days. In speaking of the Soviet government, he stated that there are many excellent things about it It is doing more for health and education of the people than the , old government ever did. There are other things about it that are not so good, however. It cannot by the wild est stretch, of imagination be called a democracy. There are not more than 600,000 voters in the whole population. The laws of Russia at present state that no religious instruction shall be giv en to persons under 18 years of age. Most of the people are still fundamen tally religious, Dr. Pretlow declared. There is more liberty of religious belief than formerly. A new content has en tered into religious belief through the work of the relief organizations. Re ligion was, formerly , only a bowing down to the ichon, a thing of form and cere mony .entirely apart from the everyday affairs of life. The relief workers have introduced, a practical working Chris tianity. ,"; They have preached more by action than by words. The Friends have the only relief or ganization that has continued on through all the revolutions up until the present At first their work consisted of distrib uting food and maintaining hospitals. Later they were able to help the people in other ways. Practically all the horses in the famine districts had been killed in the times of distress. Recognizing the necessity for these animals for agri culture, some young men went over into Kurdistan 'where horses were plentiful and brought them back a distance of 1500 miles to sell at cost to the peasants. The success of the venture led dealers to undertake it and an industrial need was filled. . - The Friends have also sent large quan tities of quinine and other drugs to Rus sia and have held clinics through the af flicted regions. ' The soldiers had brought back tropical malarial fever from the south and it had spread over a large territory. Fifty cents' worth of , qui nine, Dr. Pretlow said, would make a man immune from the fever for a whole year. Dr. Pretlow declared that the greatest needs of Russia today are a living social interpretation of Christianity and a bet ter and more comprehensive educational system. - . .
