But has the legislar ture a genuine right to pass a law prescribing what its University shall or shall not teach ? True it is the University of North Carolina, is the creature and servant of the State of North Carolina. But is it its slave? The function of the University is to disseminate knowl edge and truth. 7 Who is better suited to determine what should be taught ; scholars who have spent their life in investigation and study, or the aver age citizen of the state who has only a superficial education at the most? Certainly the University should be allowed to direct its own affair in the 'field in which it alone is an au thority. The University is conscious of its duty, its responsiblity and its function. The fulfilling of these is its sole puropse ; it has no interest or reason to do otherwise. The stand of this institution has always been one for intellectual freedom for with out it the University can never ful ly serve its purpose. The Universi ty was created to serve the state, not to be enslaved by it. ' Hardly a single great scientific dis covery has ever been made that a great wave of intolerance did not at tempt to force down. Had the great scientists of the past abided by -the dictates of society, had they 1 been good- slaves, they would have never run counter to public opinion and would never have given to the self same society their revolutionizing dis eoveries. They were not slave of the state; they were true servants, "And so with the University. It is a servant but not a slave. INTRAMURAL SPORTS Intramural Office, 114 Alumni Building . PRICE MAKES TALK TO ENGINEERING SOCIETY Saturday, February 20, 1926 "Campus walks are becoming m leg ality", says the State College Techni cian. So's some of ours. And some day may the Graham Memorial do likewise. When North Carolina can produce two teams in the same year that are able to lick the Tar Heels, we are about ready' to announce that the Old North State has a pretty sub stantial corner on the Southern bas ketball market. With due apologies to one of our professors, we suggest the following as a social item for the Chapel Hill Weekly: "Dr. Branson's wife's cook's husband suffered an accident last week. His nose was nearly bit off by a dawg." : These are hair raising times on the N. C. C. W. campus according to the Carolinian. The paper claims that the girls are forsaking bobbed hair. , -.v.' The weekly meeting of the William Cain Civil Engineering Society, which met last Thursday , morning at tea thirty in room number 319, Phillips Hall, was very interesting and was apr preciated by all present. The thirty minute talk was delivered by W. M. Price on "Stadiums". This was the topic as chosen for the meeting preceeding this one, but that meeting was given over to Dean Braune so that he mighf urge the William Cain members to attend the an nual meeting of the Civil Engineers which took place here last week. With this added time Mr. Price was able to handle his topic unusually well. He first explained the different types of stadiums now in use at the various col leges and cities. He showed the impor tance of such structures and outlined the many ways by which money was acquired with which to build them. In his demonstration, he mentioned the Yale Bowl and many other famous stadiums. Finally the importance of skillful work and the necessity of materials and plans were, brought out In this connection he showed the prices of the different types, their shapes, and capacity. - Judge Robert W. Winston, who has been golfing and otherwise enjoying him self in Camden, South Carolina, this win-, ter, is coming back to Chapel Hill in two or three weeks. Favorite weekly saying of our fa vorite campus cynic: "City folks al ways put on airs. In the country we have the General Store but in the city , we call the same thing a Drug Store. Baseball gloves have recently become the most featured drug at our favorite soda dispensary.'- The Wahington Post is no longer appearing in its time-honored rack in the library. Dr. Wilson's sub scription 'must have expired. If the papers are intended for the students, the Post should soon reappear.: It was widely read while many of the other papers scarcely ever receive a glance. The Lucy Payne circle of the Episco- pay Service League will have a supper in the parish house at Q o'clock Thurs day evening, .March 4.' It is for the pur pose of raising funds to carry on the work of the circle. The best game of the season occurred Monday 'when Steele beat Carr 23-22. The game was hard fought as the close score 'indicutes. Again Carr participated In a game in which only one foul was made, and again this foul was against one of her men and the point made was the margin by which their opponents gained their victory. The foul was against one of her men and the point made was the margin , by which their opponents gained their victory. The foul was against Grubb and McGowan, of Steele," made it good. At the end of the third quarter Steele led by 11 points. It was at this tune that the boys from "Carr Barn" elected to stage a thrill ing comeback. In the last eight min utes they gained 10 points on field goals while holding Steele scoreless. This really fell short only one field goal of bring ing them victory. The most unexpected thing in the game was Caffey, of Carr, getting the tip-off over Margenhoff, of Steele, although he is 2 or 3 inches short er than the latter. He is the first man of the year to consistently get the tip- off over the big Steele center. Ellis and Marjenhoff played the stellar role for Steele, while Grubb, Clark and Caffey led the fight for Carr. This victory leaves Steele as the undisputed leader of the Dormitory Club having dowmjd its chief rivals, West and Carr, in the last two weeks. Wednesday the Kappa Sig's lessened the number of their rivals as leaders of the Fraternity League by one when they beat the Pikas 16 to 10. This leaves only the Beta's and the Kappa Sig's tied for the top, both teams hav ing a standing of 1,000 per cent. This game was fast and snappy, because for both teams it has a strong bearing on the championship of the fraternity club, and the results were not certain until thelast few minutes of the game. H. Covington was minus the services of his two brothers in this game, but the whole team went to work and it was due largely to his shooting that the Pikas' lead during the first half. In the second half the Kappa Sig's perked-up and with Royster and Hol land leading they came to the fore. Royster was particularly good on his long shots. The Beta team met the Chi Phi teum Wednesday and took another victory into their camp. The Chi Phi's are consid- ered as one of the strong teams of the League and the 'score of 28 to 20 shows how good the Beta's are. This team fol lows the example of the varsity and bases its game on good passing, and this was the feature of their game with the Chi Phi's. Lawrence Watt seems to be an. answer to their prayer for a good for ward, for in this .game be shot 10 field goals alone which was as many points as the whole opposing team collected during the entire game. The Chi Phi's did not lose easily, but lead by D. Jonas and Wagoner, they put up a hard fight, and - made the Beta's show their best Mangum had the honor of winning two tag football games In one day, and Wed nesday again had this honor, that of win ning two basketball games in one after noon. The first game, with Smith, was hard fought, Smith leading up to the last few minutes. In the next game with New Dorms Mangum won by a large margin.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY TO BE GIVEN IN CONTEST "The Trysting Place" by Booth Tar kington, which will be presented by the High School . Dramatic Club last week will be given in the three cornered State wide Dramatic Contest for High Schools to-night at Clayton, between Chapel Hill, Clayton and. Wilmington. k The students making the trip, -are: Hatherine walker, Lyda Eubanks, Ca therine Clark, Chauncey Royster, Sam Paulson, and George Winston, At the performance in the local high school last week much favorable comment was made of the unusual abilities of - the youthful performers. It was the unani mous opinion, of the two hundred or more people who witnessed the initial presentation that the play was destined to win the coverted prize of State champions. George Winston is especially good in the piny as a bashful, infatuated boy. ' All of the other performers show unusual dramatic ability and have re ceived very much praise , from local theatrical critics. Sam Paulson and Chauncey Royster not only look the ideal part of their characters but display unusual stage ability according to all reports, v tt is not certain " that - the chorus of sixteen girls who sang before the play and the clarinet trio and trombone solo will accompany the play ers or not, but it is certain that if they do much enjoyment would, be added to the performance; for in the first fres!- entation the sweet voices of the girls and the musical ability of the perform ers on the reed and brass instruments was exceedingly pleasing in its tone of admiration for the young students. SERVANT NOT SLAVE ' According to a Washington dis patch, the geat (three cheers) state of North Carolina is slated for an other battle over the teaching of evo lution. iWe suppose this to mean, if history still repeats itself, that the University is scheduled to become once, again a free-for-all target. .

This condition comes as a result of the change which was recently made by the juniors who are in the cooperative method of engineering.

' MISS ROCKWELL HAD SUCCESS IN SALISBURY Spent Two Weeks Successfully Direct ing Three One-Act Plays Assisted In Organizing Dramatic Ass'n. ; Miss Ethel T. Rockwell, director of the bureau of community drama, recent ly returned from Salisbury -where she has completed a successful two-weeks period of directing three one-act plays, "In Spring a Young Man's Fancy," "So ciety Notes," and "The Valiant" , , The plays were . staged successfully, and , they were enthusiastically re ceived by an'unusually large - audience. The leading citizens of the community composed the casts, of which a number were alumni of the University. Among them were Spencer Murphy, William Somers, Will Gardner, differ Pedler, White Linker, and William Hennessey. Miss Rockwell states that the program was one of the best that Was ever staged under her direction t the casts for the three plays comprised 25 people. ' While in Salisbury Miss Rockwell as sisted in the movement to organize those interested in drama into a community theatre group. She reports that the organization is fast being perfected and will aid in arousing interest in - drama in Salisbury. , ' ' ' The directors of the western section of the Carolina Dramatic Association, which Is under the direction of Miss Rockwell, met at Salisbury during the period that Miss Rockwell directed the plays there. Plans were formulated for the triangle preliminaries, to be held February 19, of the dramatic tournament under the auspices of the association.

"This survey was requested two years ago," states the article, "and the com missioners voted to make as much of the survey as funds permitted. E; F. Car ter, executive officer of the Child Wel fare Commission, declared there , were ilo funds available for such a survey, however, and. none has been made. Last .week representatives of the Federation ' of the. Women's Clubs of North Caro lina, the State League of Women Voters, and the Y. W. C A. appeared before the commission and asked that the Wo man's Bureau be colled in to make the survey." -.''.. ... -: . It will be recalled that while the tex tile owners Were having a convention at Pinehurst during the Christmas holidays, a comruitee : representing , the Institute of Social Research of Jthe University of North Carolina went before the con vention and inade'the. request that the institute .be permitted to make a thor ough study of the textile7 working con ditions in the state. '-They; were 'flatly refused, with , a bit of nasty and unbe coming language thrown in. Dr. How ard Odura, head of the Department of Sociology of the University, headed the institute: which had been granted $100, 000 by the Rockefeller Foundation to make the Investigation. When the cot ton mill owners said the emphatic NO, the ..Institute could proceed no further, and is now waiting for further develop ments. . However, if the Federal Women's Bu reau is permitted to make the investiga tion, which it is highly probable that it will be,-the mill owners cannot block this move. This bureau is a fact-finding agency with a highly trained per sonnel of workers that exists to render fsuch service to the states free of charge. It is understood that the survey that will be made by this bureau will only touch upon the working and living conditions of women engaged in textile industries. Just what tbliTsurvey, which is almost certain of , being made,, will have to do with the investigation thai was asked to be permitted to be carried on by the Institute, under the direction of the Uni versity Sociological department, is not known at this time. , However, it Is hoped f that it will lead to the ultimate realization of the plans of the Institute, and that it can make its investigation in harmonious co-operation with the mill owners of the state.
