DEAN HIBBARD SETS A GOOD EXAMPLE. Besides writing "Telfair, J r." and acting as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Dean Hjbbard is still an active member of the teaching staff. He is a very busy man indeed. But vMr. Ilibbard, a few weeks ago, told his class where he lived and made it clear that he wanted his students to call on him. For fear that an invitation would avail him naught, he strengthened it and dared them to come. We know that at least a few called. We hope that this is a bappy be ginning of closer connections between the , students and professors. The present relationship between the two bodies is perfectly harmonious inso far as we know. A few of the pro fessors, Dr. Williams, for instance, have always maintained close relat ionship with their students. But Dean Hibbard, we hope, is stirring up afresh the coals of a custom that is all but dead. : Of course we don't blame the fac ulty members for not wanting to be pestered to death by indiscriminate and purposeless visits. But a much closer relationship between the fac ulty and students that that which now exists is highly desirable. STATE ORGANISTS TO MEET HERE THIS WEEK North Carolina Chapter of American Guild Organists Will Meet in Chap el Hill Friday and Saturday. i The North Carolina chapter of Ameri can Guild Organists will hold its an nual convention here Friday and Sat urday of this week. ... V This meeting, which will, be held in P. J. Weaver's office, is to be under the leadership of Dean Francis F. Womack, of the Reidsviile chapter. Friday af ternoon the officials will hold a business meeting, which will be followed in the evening by an informal dinner at, the Carolina Inn. After this supper the delegates, as guests of the University Music Department, will attend a con cert to be given in Memorial Hall by the Famous Cherniavsky trio. Satur day morning will bring another meet ing followed by an organ concert at the Episcopal Church by Charles G. VardeH, head of piano instruction at Salem College. - At this recital , the University Glee : Club will render a few selections. , The- purpose of the Guild, which was organized in this state four years ago, is to promote co-operation between the different agencies connected with church service. The organization : owes its formation to Paul John Weaver of the University Department. Having done much work ' with the Missouri chapter of the Guild, of which chapter he was an officer, Mr. Weaver was enabled to give the North Carolina chapter the benefit of his experience with the na tional organization. This previous con tact was of great value in the founda tion of the state guild. The North Carolina guild is composed of many of the most prominent organ ists in the state.' Membership is re stricted to only those who' pass an ex amination given annually by the Univer sity of New York. From ' it two dif ferent types of degrees are won by successful candidates. These degrees are: Associated American Guild of Or ganists (A. A. G. O.) equivalent to a bachelor's degree in music, and second ly. Fellow American Guild of Organists (F. A., G. O.) equivalent to a- doctor's degree in music. ' The University is signally honored in the location of the convention here. Henderson Contributes ' To Relativity Theory Dr. Archibald Henderson has recent ly published a new contribution to Rela tivity in the form of a monograph. This embodies researches made abroad dur ing his travels on the Keenan Research Foundation of the University. ' "Dr. Henderson had conferences with Sir Ernest Rutherford, Sir J. J. Thomas, and Professor Albert Einstein on the new theory of the atom while abroad and made visits to the great universities of Europe and talked with many of the most learned men of the present day. Dr. Henderson is known thoughout the world as a mathematician and has won many honors at home and abroad. His latest work is a valuable addition to the many works that he has accom plished. " While inspecting the Harvard campus visiting students from Germany noticed a long line of parked flivvers. Great was their, astonishment when they learned that the cars belonged to students.. " '' "Who In Germany would think of such a thing?", exclaimed one. "Never would a student dare to come in a car while his professor walked. Ach! But in such a wealthy country, such a wealthy coun try" . I OPEN FORUM Wants Cam and Al to Run The Editor: For several weeks there has been con siderable agitation, about the campus in behalf of the political aspirations of Al Smith. It is thought by many of the students that he is the most available man In the democratic party for the presidential nomination : in 1928, and many have been trying to find a solution to the problem which the South presents in case he should get the nomination. It is argued that the New York man could not carry the South because of his attitude toward prohibition and because he Is a Roman Catholic, A few of the students have discussed this from every angle and, without presuming to possess any superior wisdom, we believe that we have found a solution of the problem. In the first place his dampness would not be a great handicap. ' More and more we are coming to the conclusion all over the country that something must be done about the Volstead Act. It has succeed ed in doing but two things: it has made "licker" higher and meaner. It can- be had as easily as ever, but it costs more and makes the drunk come quicker. The, only people who believe that the law can be enforced are a few belated judges and Anti-Saloon League employees who think that it is being enforced now. They are fooled, deceived and benighted. Al Smith stands for a modification of the law and that attitude wins the respect of thinking people everywhere." He wants no return to 'the open saloon, but he would stop official highwaymen from shooting up cars and breaking in houses because they think they can smell rum. He would stop courts from making good citizens into convicts because for sooth . they , have taken a drink. He woud make a law and a sensible one and take away' the death penalty for its vio lation. ."' " His religion can be dispensed with without great difficulty. Like the rest of us, he probably hasn't enough religion to quarrel about. He happened to be born a Roman Catholic and hasn't out lived it. ' He is probably about, as loyal to his church as the average Methodist or Baptist is to his. The Pope may or may not know that Al is alive and this, side of purgatory. At any rate he has no idea of capturing Americca by having Al Smith elected. None but the silly, the credulous, the bigoted and the Phari saical will offer such an argument.- Ro man Catholics have been just as patri otic as have Protestants. 'Today such men as Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, David I. Walsh, of Massachusetts and a host" of others, who are devout members of the church of Rome, are among our most distinguished patriots and public servants. And there is an increasing number of people in the South who Would be glad to arise and give the lie to the statement that we are controlled by re ligious prejudice. But the thing to do to elect Al Smith is to nominate a Southern man to run with him. . That man is Cameron Morri son. Both men are progressives of the best type, both are democrats of un questioned loyalty to the party and both are marvelous campaigners. Their rec ords are unsullied and unstained.- No hint of fraud has ; ever been lodged against either, and when other state ex ecutives were being sent to the peniten tiary Al: Smith in the North and Cam Morrison in the South stood out as two unimpeachable governors. They both have stood for law enforcement, both have fought special privilege and both have espoused, the cause of the common man. Cam Morrison's administration of the affairs of North Carolina grows with the years. It will go down in history ' as perhaps the greatest of all the chief ex ecutives since, Vance. He did not and does not believe in the niggardly econ omy of Coolidge and McLean. He be lieves in spending money wisely and "for the benefit of all. He is not as bluster ous as the redoubtable Dawes, but as a campaigner he has Hell and Maria back ed off the boards. His Mellifluous and indestructible voice would captivate a New England audience. His record in North Carolina would not only appeal to the South, but all the New Englanders who have driven over our marvelous sys tem of roads would vote for him with a whoop. Former Governor Morrison is dry with out being a fanatic. He does not think that every man who believes in the mod ification of the Volstead law is a traitor and an anarchist. ; ; . Morrison and Smith are acceptable to the labor ; unions. .-: They are ' acceptable to the farmers. They would make a powerful appear to the country as thor ough-going Americans. Morrison can carry the South, Smith can 'carry the North, while both can get the most of the West. They , would drive Coolidge distracted and they would make Dawes look like thirty cents.' With Smith and Morrison in the field the Democratic party can count on New York, New Jer sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Mich igan, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kentucky, Ne braska, 'Montana, California, New Mexi co, Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas, the Solid South, Maryland, Rhode Island, with a good chance of getting' the others. Al Smith and' Cam Moirison are the hope of a iiited Democracy, V v PETER VOLSTEAD. SUNDAY CONCERT GIVEN BY BAND Sides and Trusselle Add Solos ' to Musical Program. MARCHES PREDOMINATE Trusselle Not So Good in First Solo But Improves in Second :"'::-';" ,;,;'A Offering. A - ' v. Kn excellent concert was given by the University Band Sunday afternoon In Memorial Hall. In addition to the num bers presented by the band there were four baritone solos by Stanley Porter Trusselle and a cornet solo by Leonard R. Sides. The concert opened with that most familiar and well beloved anthem, "Hark The Sound." The two following selections Were marches which the band has played at every football game this year and which they are able to render perfectly. They were both composed by Hall and served as good examples of the military music best suited to large bands. Mr. Sides chose, for his cornet solo the Addah Polka, by Losey. This spirited composition was, a happy choice, as its deliberate, measured rhythm was splen didly brought out by the clear and pow erful tones of the cornet as they rose above the subdued accompaniment of the band Mr. Trusselle's first solo, the Aria from Donizetti's Do Sebattiano, was not so good. Either the singer had difficulty in finding his voice or the intricacies of the "aria were too much for his powers. The first division of the program was brought to a close with two of Sousa's most popular marches," the Invincible Eagle and Stare and Stripe Forever, which have an almost universal appeal to lovers of stirring and martial airs. After a brief intermission the program was continued with another pair of marches done In the band's best and most finished style. These were the American Cadet March, by the prolifit Mr. Hall and the Greeting To Bangor, by the same composer. The next division was a group of three simple and lyric songs which were much better adapted to the limits of Mr. Trusselle's 'voice. When relieved of the strain of classic inter pretation he proved to be the possessor of a moderately pleasing and cultured baritone voice and handled these melo dies in a manner filled with quiet charm. Note Sleepe The Crimson Petal, by Quil ter, was probably the most appreciated of the trio. As concluding numbers the band gave, Faure's famous devotional an them, The Palme, and Bowman's fervid Patriotic Overture. These were more pleasing than any of the preceding num bers, "as all the others had been heard many times by the student body at this year's athletic contests. Mrs. Trusselle was pleasing as the ac companist. - Dr. and Mrs. Robert B. Lawson had as their guests last week-end Miss Helen Thomas of Olivia, and George Lawson and his son Robert Lawson of Richmond. Alpha Phi announces, the pledging of E. E.

This North ern body has taken its lead in forming state organizations' throughout the coun try, and ' manages the national music contest held annually In New York City. Through its secretary, Mr. Wea ver has ascertained, the requirements and proceedure of the national organi zation. Progress toward a better under standing among North Carolina clubs is now well under way. The association to be formed here will promote the yearly state contests among glee clubs. Later the officials of the organization, intend to form a large cor poration including all state bodies, in the South. With these plans it is hoped that next year winners of state contests may compete under the- management of the Southern central organization.
