The growth of such an idea isi to be deeply lamented. . A bid yesterday was an index to very little. Friendship or kinship determined who were called. The four coming years determines who are the men of the class, not yes terday. Non-fraternity men have no 'cause to look up to those who belong to fraternities, nor have fraternity men any reason to look down upon what some are prone to call "the great unwashed". There are fraternity snobs here, but we are glad to rec ord that they are few, and far be tween. It is hoped that no man who was passed by on Pledge Day. will in any way take notice of the fact., If he , is "fraternity 'material" he will be absorbed in due time. But let him not suffer from disappointment nor grieve that lie was not in the big swim. Americans are great joiners, willing to sign up with anything that gives them the privilege of wearing an emblem, and the false impression that a man amounts Vo nothing unless he is hooked up in some sort of fash ion is the result of this overgrown club spirit. ; .j You can purchase any article adver . tised in The Tar Heel with perfect safety because everything it adver tises is guaranteed to be as repre sented.

I picked up one of. the scraps, and on it was the student's name and the crude he received 64. Curious lit tle speculations begun to play around in my mind concerning the cause of that particular student's failure on that par ticular quiz, for I happened to know him. But no conclusion was possible. Cause and effect. I thought. Same old story, duplicated a thousand times the whole forming one vast htndertpiel of hich the professors are constantly amused spectators. But the show goes on. i The King's English is a wonderfully flexible and adaptable tool for expres sion; and like a flivver, will stand any amount of abuse. A nice new tin halo ought to be awarded to anyone originat ing such extraordinary metaphorical ex pression as was released in a front-page story of the last Tab Heel: Last night at 12 o'clock the bell in Old South tolled. The campus which for -five weeks has been the center of great and bitter strife became silent. . . . The war of the Greek letter organizations is over. The destructive irtillery of the different fraternities has ipoken forth for the last time. The huge muzzles smoulder in silence within their respective strongholds. Wisps of gas and smoke linger in secluded nooks- vivid reminder of the foregoing days when these perfumes of Mars made dense the air on the Hill." Beautiful English, Phyllis, but what the hell was he trying to say? Happier than if inheriting a kinardom. the freshman turns longing eyes to the fancied delights of fraternity life, and is blinded by glitter that makes trolls, cads and fools out of far wiser men than Fraternities fool the world while they deceive themselves. A few are good; many are bad. Their god is the gilded.heifer of Baal. Some day a pre mium will be placed on intellect; and moral fiber will count for more than the jangle of father's shekels. Then frater nities will be among the things that have an enduring influence in college life and after. I Sm: The most "vital" law of nature works through and by multiplication, and the great supernatural LAWS" govern nat tura LAWS, that is, God in Christ is a Body, yet, in all "Space" like Sun-light. I have "reead" In the Scribner't Mag- azine of November, 1025, the writings of one Edwin Grant Conklin, Professor of Biology, of Princenton University on: "Science and the Faith of the Modern." ;, If such men are "Professors of Biol ogy," then . His writings and logic are so "poor" that I would not rend it to my people in "Public." I showed it to many of the "thinking" men and we had a good laugh about it. This 'Professor" of .Biology says: "Many men of science claim that "Na ture is something that Is" "is" What? The "is" means nothing, It should read: Everything which is,, is nature. But animuls are not "Nature," for you can destroy animals, but you cannot destroy "XT .,4-.. n , . Here you have a lot of know "noth ings," called "Scientists." No wonder when "Scopes' at Dayton was asked to make a talk on "evolution, he said: That he knew nothing about "evolution." If such men of "Science" were to de bate with me, they would not last long enough to say, "gold-nut-burs.", This Conklin he denies the workings of "Su pernatural laws," and is "ignorant" of facts, for God works through nature by Supernatural laws.'! Nature could not have created itself. An engine cannot run without steam. So God is the Force in Nature. - Read the Carolina Magazine and be come "Wise" for the Scientists are men without reason or logic. Hoping you will see the "light" and become a "Power" for the good of Hu manity. . Charles Frederick Bluske, Inventor of New Science of Power. 80 Penland Ave., Asheville, N. C. HOUSE ALMOST TOTALLY DESTROYED BY FLAMES The Chapel Hill ftre Department, Tuesday night, was again given an op portunity to display its wares. These fire warriors . responded; gallantly de spite the hour and the chilling weather. The house which was burned was owned by the university and was located in Carter Court back of the Christian Church. It was a Ave room structure. L. B. Rogerson, Auditor of the Uni versity, has been living in the house for sometime. At 10:10 the alarm was turned in. Practically the entire roof was afire , before the firemen received the signal and consequently the house was almost totally destroyed. However, it was fully covered by. insurance. By the aid of students the firemen saved most of the furniture, but much was damaged in the flurry. i The students were also quite active in reaching the fire. Quite a number left their studies and other occupations to witness a conflagration, which seemed to "present a fascinating episode. Why do writers and printers in sist on corrupting the good synonym for North Carolinian, viz, Tar Heel, into the monstrosity Tarheel? Won't be long before folks'll be saying that weuns live in Northcarolina. , And why in this day of electric horns do people continue to "blow" them? Wouldn't it be more proper to say "button" for the corner than to 'blow" for it. Paris is the only remaining happy hunting ground for ' horn blowing autos. It has been disclosed that the Medical School has taken advantage of the student body's mascots in or der to secure some high class blood We wonder how the donors of the i rams will feel when they get wind of such doings. Tis a pity the med students didn't dam up the bloody flood when little Gertrude's tail was amputated. Have you heard the new-fangled ending to "Hark the Sound"? In stead of the snappy life-giving rah-rah-rah close, an effort is being made to km its famous eftectiveness and to render the final trinity in a truly passing-out fashion. Mr. Bell's riding club seems to have sprung into instant popularity and is apparently a decided addition to the community. When we see co eds galloping down Main street at 8 A. M. on a frosty morn and then catching classes, we are behooved, to Utter, "The wimmin', God bless 'em, but what'Il they do next." NOT CALLED Yesterday was pledge day. I Pledge day for many, But for the majority' of the freshman class, yes terday was just another Wednesday. There seems to be a growing feel ing on the campus that unless a man is bid and pledged at the end OXFORD DEBATERS ARE SPEAKERS OF RENOWN Each Has Been President of the Ox ford Unibn Will Debate With Columbia University Next. The three Oxford University, men who are here to debate the University of North Carolina team tonight fn Memo rial Hall are all speakers of renown They have all at one time been president of the Oxford Union, the debating soci ety of Oxford University. They have made a study of the question of the International Court of Justice at first hand, and are prepared to reveal some new aspects of the question to their audience tonight. These men come- to Carolina from George Washington University where they debated the question of recognizing the present regime in Russia. From here they will go to Columbia University where they will again debate the Rus sian question. : " H. V. Lloyd-Jones of Jesus Colleue has held the presidency of the Oxford Union most recently, during the second term of last year. He is a Welshman. and he studied at the University of Lon don before going to Oxford in 1921 R. H. Bernays of Worcester College was his immediate successor in office. He came to Oxford in 1921 after gradu ation at Rossall. His enthusiasm for the Liberal cause carried him into active work for the Liberal Club, and into active campaigning in the countrvside at election time. , He also rowed on his college second eight. H. J. S. Wcdderburn of Balliol headed the Union during; the fall term nf iwi He was born Jh Scotland and prepared at Ardvrock und Winchester. His range olivines uesiues aeDatmg has includ ed singing, journalism, dramatics, crick ett, and football. . . The strings of the human heart are curiously strung. Tight and loose they are, sometimes crosswise and out of tune. But sometimes they are strung straight and beautiful and true,' and there is no discord when they are struck. Then it is said that our lives become strangely translated into the materialism all around us. There are days, as when we grat a' class or flunk a quiz, when our souls wander off into dreary wastes, over marshes bleak and soggy; and the strings touched by the heavy hand Of care onlv give off discordant notes. But on other days, as when we pass a quiz, or get mail, or something, when the song of Pippa plays on ' the strings sinsrimr; "Gods' in his heaven, all's right with the world." The song varies as tyra.nt moods hold a whip hand over our inner nature. We are ready to admit that humans are essentially all alike. The strings of the human heart are curiously strung.' HOBBS RETURNS FROM MEETING IN RICHMOND Prof. S. H. Hobbs has lately returned trom a meeting of the American Conn try Life Association: held in Richmond. Va. lhe meeting lasted for a term of three days, October 27-29. A lurge part ot the meeting was devoted to iren eral discussions, i; As I champion of the sub-group on rural finances, Professor Hobbs took an active part in these dis cussions. v' , ;-v , .V . , . Quite a tenable hypothesis it is that dogs think, and have intelligence, and ideas. Who knows but what some of the , very sophisticated canines on the campus get together and make fun of us humans, as we tread the beaten paths of habit day after day? Who knows but what there is caste distinction, and social standerds, among the dog folk? Who knows but what the self-important poodle, property of some pragmatic pror lessor, may have the same ideas in his canine head as his master and believe with all his little dog heart that he is somewhat better than the piebian flee. property of the carpenter next door? Might as well ask who killed Cock Roh. in; but the subject is fully as worthv of debate as many of the things that worry scientists and make them die young. Might as well try to chance or rherk or dam the course of true love as to try to stop the slow and certain revolving cycles in which everything moves. In WIZ, we had a football team that hud . way of invariably getting thinirs don In 1925, we have a football team that with the exception of one srame. is re volving in the same cycle.

He's, rather dangerous to let run at large. Perhaps he needs to be re taught how to toddle. William Allen White once had an opinion on It, and thought: 'Opinions differ.

Several new members were present. . ' ' . . A feature of the meeting was a speech from each member, telling his, name, class and address." Several good jokes were also told and refreshments were served. The Renfro club is -composed of stu dents from the counties of Wilkes, Sur rey and Yadkin. The name of the club is that of an Indian tribe that origi nally inhabited the section around the three counties. The club is putting on something new this year in the way of speech-makina-. A special study is being made by the members on. the origin and histories of the counties represented in the club. Some member makes a special study of the subject assigned to him and reports at the npvt mftln( At- i. - L wic iicai garn ering of the club, the president, A. H. Proffitt, will make a report on Wilkes county. It has been planned to have the hrst president and founder of the club, Mr. Mack Brown, who is now at Wake Forest, to be present at the next meeting, which will be held on the first Monday in December. calico to tame him. At least the propo sition, however troublesome, is not hope less. As a last resort, give him a whirl on the college paper. That will bring dpwn his grades to normal, but some times it unsettles his mind." ; White is dead right. A whirl on the staff of the Tar Heei is amply sufficient to unsettle the mind of any specimen east of the Rockies. It there's one it won't, do that for, trot him out DEBATE TONIGHT IMPORTANT) EVENT (Continued from page one) tive, W. J. Cocke, Jr., with two Oxford men; and two men on the affirmative, J, F. Cooper and Theodore Livingstone, with one Oxford man. It will resemble u round-table discussion, in that after the debate proper the audience will be allowed to ask either side any question about the subject that they may desire. These questions will propose to clear up any points that may not be entirely clear after the conclusion of the formal debate; and in general It will tend to bring the audience into a more complete understanding nf the question, which af ter all is tiie main purpose of the entire discussion. When the audience has ex hausted its supply of questions, the same audience will render its decision as to which side has put across the most convincing proposition, the affirmative or the negative. The vote will not be for either university, but for one side of the question: whether the house favors the International Court of Justice, or not.': .'i The debate will be in Memorial Hall at 8:30 p. m., will be open to everybody, and will be presided over by President Chase." This Oxford-Carolina meet will also be the occasion of the home coining, of most of the old men who have repre sented Carolina in Intercollegiate . de bates in the past. Tliey have all been especially invited for the occasion and will be entertained at a banquet given in their honor by the Debate Council and the local chapter of Tau Kappa Alpha, national debating fraternity, at the Episcopal Parish House immediately after the debate, r , Besides the old debaters there have also been invited to this debate the Womanjs Club, Rotarians. Lions. Civi lians, and Kiwanians of Raleigh, Greens boro, High Point, Winston-Salem, Hills boro, Sanford, Oxford, and Durham. Also all the city superintendents of the surrounding schools have been asked to attend. Thus a i large crowd is exnected out for the debate tonight, besides the great number of the student body who are to be there. This may be the only oppor tunity that some of the student body will ever have to hear an Internati.nl debate; for that reason an even larger percentage is expected than would come from the mere importance of the debate. But chief among the things that will nt- tract a large crowd will be the interest, instruction, and enlightenment that will come out of the debate itself. All six of the men on the teums are sneakers nf note and sincere linkers. They have all made a deep study of the question and -are to put out some new facts that may be startling. Being all men who are accomplished speakers, some quite spiraea rebuttals are in promise PLANS.FOR ARMISTICE DAY ARE BEING MADE Eleven O'clock Classes Will Be Sus i pended Appropriate Program of , Music and Speaking Planned.

AH eleven o'clock clusses will i suspended. 1 The committee in charge is sparing no pains to furnish a program worthy 0f our soldier dead and appropriate to what is so far one of the most ci;n cant anniversaries in the country's hi tory, marking as it does the .closing 0f the most superb unified effort America has- made in the interests of democracy The speaker for the occasion has not been chosen. All interests in the com. munity will be represented on the plat- form by officials of the University, the town, the American Legion, the cluirches and all civic and patriotic organ iuations! A large attendance is hoped for, in order that the celebration may become established here as an annual memorial of respect to those who gave their in order that we might live and have a renewed faith in the , ability of our country to act unselfishly and to give generously.

The wrestling and boxing teams are both rapidly rounding into form and by the time the first meets are held, Caro lina promises to be well represented both on the mat and In the ring. In past years these two sports have not at tracted much attention but this year they are coining into their own better than ever before. Boxing Is not yet letter sport but it is highly probable that it will soon be recognized as such. Last year the team made quite an im pressive showing in the meets that were held. . Boxing this year is under the super vision of' Crayton Rowe, of Charlotte, who is one of the best and cleverest box ers in North, Carolina and in the South. He has boxed with some of the South' leading pugilists. He has about forty men working under him each afternoon in the Tin Can. Only light practice hag been indulged in so far but hard work-outs will be in vogue, before long. Coach Waters sajs that prospects are very bright for a winning wrestling team this year. He is putting his squad of forty men through regular practices on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but most of the men are taking light work-outs every day. Included In the SOUttd is A rtr n.in..,U. .if fncli men, several of whom are showing up well. Coach Walters has made it plain that the new men will get an equal showing with the old men and that pos itions on the team will be awarded on merit alone. As yet no matches have been definitely arranged but several are are pending. Both teams are planning a trip, probubly through Virginia. ' " ' .. . .. yiuuuc. ; j inrougn Virginia.
