BAG BY SPEAKS TO SCIENTIFIC GROUP (Continued from pag one woven into a sheet with the various members welded together at the points of intersection seems to be the choice for reinforcement. The survey was mdde on pavement roads, some reinforced and some not; all had the same subgrade conditions, climatic conditions, materials, and had been subject to same traffic." Some of the conclusions reached by Mr. Hogentogler's survey follows; ,:; 1. Steel reinforcement reduced the rate of cracking and thereby increased the life of the pavement. This applies to concrete pavements and to other pave ments laid upon a concrete base.. ' 2. Crack reduction is more economi cally accomplished by the use of steel reinforcement than by additional thick ness of pavement. 3. A greater reduction was afforded by small steel members closely spaced than by larger members more widely spaced. - - .. : .', ' 4 Increased weight of mesh per 100 sq. rt. considerably reduced cracking. (Continued from page one) the public, that we should make the confession and consider candidly Us Im plications. "Since 1916 the newspapers of the South, generally speaking, have shared amaiingly in the South' new growth. In many instances, it is true, the coun try weeklies have suffered severely, but "J on the whole the newspapers of the South have prospered during this period as never before. ; Scores of them have known for the first tiem what it was to make money. Some of them have be come rick They have doubled and tre bled and. quadrupled in siie. In not a few respects they are wonderfully im proved. But as yet they have not quali fied for the new leadership that is re quired of them and in this respect they j are vastly inferior to the newspapers of i the South of 50 years ago. "The men can be had.- AH of ,us see them come from time to time Most of the time we see them go. Why do they go? Because they are not paid enough. That is the plain truth bluntly put ! Today there are other openings-and, the most promising young men take them because they come to feel that journal ism, "oh its editorial side, is a "blind alley." But they would not leave if they were given a fair compensation and had an assured career. They would stay and become a source of great power and prestige to the newspapers they served and a great good in their communities. They would bring to. the newspapers, enormously' increased leadership. We hear not a little about the decline of newspaper leadership but it does not decline where it is really exerted. Make it competent and the people will wel come it gladly as they have always wel comed it. -. , "For the first time in years the news papers of the South are coming to be in a position to build for themselves organizations on the editorial side which will enable them to do things for their communities and for their section which in the past they were not in position to perform. - We talk great deal about the South, about the sentiment of the South,-about the South as a section. But who today - speaks for the South? Is there any longer a public opinion in this section? If so, who makes it? The newspapers used to keep in close touch with one another. All the important papers exchanged with all the other im portant papers, and the exchanges were read. They are read no longer. The readers of the average Southern city will probably learn from the front page dis patches of a big fire or a murder or something of that sort in another South ern state, but they have small chance of finding out what their fellow citizens in that state are doing in the way of solving their problems, how their point of view is changing, if at all, in man ners or morals or politics or religion. There is rarely a picture of anything happening south of the Mason' and Dix on's line. The cartoons which give them a slant upon public affairs more power ful perhaps than any written word are nearly "all made by Northern or western artists. And so it goes. Is this to con tinue and become more and more accen tuated? I hope not It will be tre mendously unfortunate for the South if it does. I know that as they prosper increasingly more and more Southern newspapers will see this; that they will feel their obligation and rise to their opportunity. "One of the finest things In the his tory of newspapers, it seems to me, is the fact that from the earliest times the men who conducted newspapers have uniformly recognized their responsibili ties to the public. They did this in many notable cases where they were only acci dentally' in charge of what we now call the editoriaf conduct of the newspapers with , which they were connected. The history of the press Is full of" instances where job-printers, issuing newspapers only as a by-product of their printing plants, found themselves involved In Sit uations where great public rights were at stake, and they .-maintained those rights, be it said to their glory, in the face of every danger to their property and to their persons. Newspapers in those early days, when they did so much to establish human rights, did not have behind them the splendid traditions which are ours today. Those traditions are our pride and spur us on when as now we have before us the largest op portunity and the noblest challenge that the press of the South has faced." On Wedtiesduy, January 20, Miss Ethel Rockwell is going to Salisbury to stage a group of three one-act plays with 'the citizens of the community under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. ROBi: W. MADRY SPEAKS BEFORE NEWSPAPER IN- STITUTE THURSDAY Continued from page one) such and such a story. Did the corre spondent comply with the president's re quest? He said he did. Mr, Madry described the function of the state university news bureau as three fold. He said it has an obligation to the State, to the University and to the press. "First the duty," he said, 'is to the State for it is the State that makes possible the existence of the institution. It is the State, as represented by the people, that pays the taxes that support the University. It pays the salaries of faculty members, the cost of operation, and most of the tuition of the Individual one hundred counties, and it has a right to know what its students at Chapel Hill are thinking and doing, what its faculty are thinking and doing, how the institution is serving the State in general. "Now, I conceive it to be the' duty of a state university news bureau to give to the State an accurate picture bL the in stitution in all the aspects of its work. That is its duty to the university. As a publicly supported institution, the uni versity must stand or fall according as it renders to the people of the state a service many times the State's investment in it If it is to grow and expand as a to meet the needs of a rapidly developing state," it must not only win but also hold the confidence and support of the people. Consequently it is the duty of a news bureau to present to the State the Uni versity's record as it is written by her faculty, her students and her agents in every field of activity; to "Interpret her motives and aspirations to the people. "Now we come to the third duty of a state university news bureau," and al though placed last, it is by means least Reference is to the news bureau's rela tionship to the press. t If a news bureau is to succeed at all it must play fair with the press. By that I mean it must give the press all real news at all times, re gardless of whether it hurts or helps. ; "Over and above these pragmatic rea sons why a public must be' informed of the relations of education to a dra matic life. More than one educator' has pointed out the necessity of meeting un informed lay criticism of education, and the university or college authority must play his part in pointing out that changes in education are in response to changed conditions in society, or the at tempt to realize democratic ideals on a larger scale." BISHOP DARST TO DELIVER SERMON (Continued from page on) Dr. Darst may do so after the Univer sity Sermon at the Episcopal Parish House. Mr. Lawrence, Rector of the Chapel of the Cross, has made this pos sible since he realizes that, many of the University will be glad of this oppor tunity to see the noted bishop. - RIFLE CLUB TO CLOSE MSERSIIIP ONDAY New Range To Be Built According To Government Instructions Rifles . Will Be Ordered Soon. FRIENDSHIP COUNCIL TO PUBLISH BOOKLET (Continued from page one) better prepared to carry on the "Y" work, having learned something about it while In high school. A committee of council members and Joe Bobbitt, one of the group leaders, are planning the details of the paper and expect to have more information at the next meeting about it.- The next meeting will be one of the usual monthly smokers and will be in the "Y."

Application for membership can be made to Burnham S. Colburn, Alpha Chi fraternity house on Fraternity Row or to F. V. Spence, 309 Manley dormitory. The Carolina Rifle Club was organ ized last quarter as a branch of the National Rifle Association of America. A limited ' supply of rifles is being pro vided by the U. S. government, and 150 rounds of high powered and 200 pounds of light ammunition will be issued an nually to each member of the Clubi Initiation fee for membership In this Club is $3.00 and the dues are $3.00 per year. This money will be used for the building and upkeep of a well equiped, modern rifle range, the land for which has been supplied by the University. A complete set of blue-prints has been re ceived from the War Department cover ing all phases of the construction of the range. This range is to be located on the part of the Mason farm which is nearest the University. It is reached by the Old Raleigh Road, which has re cently been regraded and widened and will soon be paved. 1 FAYETTEVILLE CLUB ELECTS NEW OFFICERS The Fayetteville Club held its first meeting of the new year Monday night at the "Y" at 9.00 o'clock.
