Perhaps the self-help boxes brought it about, but the ap ples seem to be the favorite in-between meal commodity hereabouts. We're still true sons of adam, in spite of all the naughty things said about us. Dr. Coker should be assured of the hearty observation on the part of student, of the usual consideration given public grounds. Beautiful grounds can be maintained here only if the students are willing to refrain from destroying them. Vandals can operate on the campus as well as in the buildings. , i MONDAY AND POLITICS- Notice has been served on the campus that nominations for student body officers will be held in chapel on Monday morning. From what we hear, this year will see no steam roller run up and down the aisle of Memorial Hall. There seems to be a multiplicity of students who have political bees in their bonnets. And that's the right state of affairs. Then the con scientious student can say his pray ers on Wednesday night and get up Thursday morning with the neces sary inspiration to separate the ' drones from those that are . trust worthy. Otherwise, he can vote as , he's been told to, for the glory of I OPEN FORUM j CONGRATULATIONS At last we may say we are attending the SouthS greatest University. At last we may say we have reached the emi nence of efficiency. At last we have reached the highest point of excellence in managing a school as it should be managed.. .-The signs in Memorial Hall on registration day were legible. Before this great change of the departmental signs from Sanskrit to English, our won derful system of registration was al most perfect. And now that we have legible signs, we may claim to have a perfect system the very best in the South. Our system is the par excellence of all others. The writer is not saying this because be wants to be punctilious, nor macrosephalous when he speaks of the dear University. Oh, no; words thus written--aTeephemt"ral with the public; ana the public is always irascible. But lie wants to impress upon .the more re miss students his firm convictions. A glance at the spring quarter schedule will prove what has just been said. Look at the classes of English 5, all rowed up so prettily at 11 o'clock. Does it not help the appearance of the schedule as a whole? Very strikingly. Some observ ant student, no doubt, wonders why this is so. The digestion of the professors must be catered to ! Maybe some stu dents will ask why these classes are not spread out and taught at other times of the day. Foolish question ! Everyone here knows the after-dinner classes are detrimental to the health of the profes sors; and is not that our first considera tion? Do we not come here to learn to be, among other things, gallant? and self-sacrificing? Surely we do. Do you not see, then, the folly of having after dinner classes? That would pot only unteach our gallantry, but it might also cause dyspepsia to one of our dear Eng lish profs, and maybe melancholia. Think how horrible that would be. Too, once a precedent 'is set in some form of registration, it is clung to with iron-clad tenacity. This is to set an example to students to "do or die," al ways.' The writer Wanted to sign up for Spanish 6 and 8, and English 5, but unfortunately there was one English 5 section at the same time as the Spanish 8 section, and five sections of English 5 at the same time' as the Spanish 6 sec tion. He was forced, then, to abandon the idea of getting bito English 5, and made an attempt to substitute History 42. Although he did not know it, he committed a most horrible sin by doing this. History 42 is only taught to third year men and higher. Ue was only a sophomore, and would not be eligible for such advanced work. His mentality was not yet sufficiently developed . to study such an advanced course, and would not be for ten weeks. "No, he must not study History 42 yet,"- was the answer he received to an inquiry to the head of the department, "because It is not customary to teach this subject to sophomores." And so, by making other plans, and registering for Economics 2 under a man who had not taught him Economics 1, and whose course was as much based on Economics 1 he had learned, as daylight is to dark, he was Anally registered; and It only required five hours. The efficiency of our system canont be doubted. Signed, X. CAESAR SMITH. Rameses II, Of Royal Pedigreed Descent Joins His Predecessor In Eternal Rest Late news issuing from Caldwell hall has it that Rameses II, like his prede cessor, Rameses I, has gone unto his fathers. But letting that stand as it is, it cannot be said against him, as' it was said against the first Rameses, that his life was of no avail. One of Dean Andy's assistants in the medical building was noticed the other day grating a sheepish looking animal on the grass beside the med. building. Beside her blated another sheepish ani mal, small and embryonic. A passerby, none too well acquainted with Rameses and not knowing of his previous sad demise, gazed in astonish ment at the outfit and especially at the mother who looked for the world like Rameses, himself. . Thinking that Ram eses had evidently gone against nature, he accosted the shepherd thusly: "Say, that ain't Rameses' kid, is U?" "No suh, boss,'? replied the smiling janitor. "Dat ain't, an' neither Is dat him you see standin' dar, but hit am Rameses' wife instid. Rameses is daid and that thar youngun am his son." "What?1 Rameses dead? Why, I did n't know it. What did he die of?" 'Yas, suh, he has been deceased some time. And he died of ' He was about to tell the cause when he happened to glance down the path and see one of the med profs coming, and realizing it was best to let the "dead past bury its dead" under such circumstances, he abruptly ended by saying, "He died of hades- mortits, or at least dat is what de gen- tlemin up in de cutting room say." , With that he skilfully excused himself from further questioning by the apology that he had to go. to put the queen and the young prince into their stall, and left the student standing there facing the professor. One more attempt he made to find the secret of His Highness' death by asking the professor, "Where's Ram eses?" "Dear," he replied, and stalked off in the direction of the arboretum. "Dead, hell!", he wanted to holler at him. "Any poor fool could have told me that." And there he stood, high nd dry so far as any knowledge was con cerned that would bring the perpetrators to justice. He stood there meditating for a min ute and then hastened off to his room to look up the meaning of hadesmortus and see if any possible light could be found in that direction. But such a word was not to be found in the dictionary. Nei ther were; there any-similar words hav ing as their meaning "death due to the extraction of blood ; the practice of med ical students in taking blood from living animals." The only light that has been shed on the subject thus 'far was given a few minutes later by a Latin student who said that the ' Latin words hades and mortus when Combined evidently meant a "hell of a death." So there the matter stands. Whether 'the kind died with any royal blood left in his , veins is a thing that only an in vestigating committee of the Di Senate will, possibly, ever be able to find out. There is one remaining consolation, how ever, aad that is, the prince still lives. And it behooves the managers of the University to take necessary steps to guarantee that in the future no wearer of the royal purple will ever be sub jected to the embarrassment and risk of having the red corpuscles drained from his veins. DURHAM CHURCH HEARS LAWRENCE Reverends Bost and Lawrence Exchange Their Pulpits j Sunday. LA MENTS MATERIALISM Urges Closer Communion With Christ and His Teachings. A large majority of Carleton bollege students are dissatisfied with the chapel program. Six hundred of them, in a re cent questionnaire, expressed a desire for student participation in arranging chapel programs. ' One hundred fifty voted for non-compulsory chapel. , Rev. S. Sidney Bost, rector of St Phillip's Episcopal church of Durham, and Rev. Alfred S. Lawrence, rector of the Chapel of the Cross in Chapel Hill, exchanged pulpits Sunday morning and held services in each others respective church. . - A large congregation heard Mr. Law rence in St. Phillips church. The rector took as his text, I Corinthians, 2-1 and 8: "And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the wisdom of God. "For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." Mr. Lawrence said that Paul was writing to a people interested in two things, excellency of speech and beauty of oratory, and the wisdom and knowl edge . of great learning. Paul would have nothing to do with arguing about these great things, or mixing in their contentatiuns. The spirit of Paul was the doctrine of Christ and that alone. We have reached the stage, said the preacher in the stage of the world the like of which has never been known be fore. For six thousand years there has been very little change in the mode of life. If a person wanted to ride they had to do it on horseback. If they wanted to send a letter they had to send t Calendar Saturday, March 27 11:00 "a.m. Demonstration Folk Dances, Playmakers Theatre. 2:00 p.m. All-University Track Meet, Emerson Feld. 7:00 p.m. Phi Assembly, Phi Hall. 8:30 p.m. Debate, Carolina vs Swa'rth more, Gerrard Hall.

Science and in vention was little known. There was no mills or industries. The family was the unit of products. Gun powder and the printing press were the first scien tific things to dawn upon the people. Then came a sudden sweep of communi cation and scientific . appliances almost instantaneously. . Here the preacher out lined the march of ideas, and the intro duction of modern appliances down to radio. With the coming of the present day inventions and conveniences, life has become more complicated. We are proud of the 'strides science and in vention have made; but what about the spiritual side. We have not grown, spiritually and morally, and kept pace with the scientific and material world. The mechanical world has gone far ahead of the spiritual. This is one thing we should study carefully, and like Paul put the spiritual ahead of every thing else. The church is given much to bolstering up these material things, in a desire for greater numbers, fine churches and much display to the neg lect of the spiritual. This is not the job of the church. It is not our business to bolster world things, but to know nothing but Christ and him crucified. You may have fine Sunday schools: perfect in every or ganization, and it may or may not be a good Sunday school, if the spirit of Christ is not in the teachers. Another Sunday school may be a perfect muddle of children and have teachers with the true spirit of Christ teaching children to love God, and obey Him. ' They are de veloping the spiritual side, instead of the worldly. : When system becomes so predominant that it takes up. all our thoughts we are running along danger ous lines. What is wanted Is, simple church life to fit into all of this new mechanical life which is upon us. Not that mechanical life to fit our religion. The scriptures are out guide, Use them more. Morality seems to be lagging be hind the modern advancement of me chanical forces. We are not striving enough to know Christ, and are too much wrapped up in the mechanical things of life.

John W. Krumpelman 309 Murphey Hall Chapel Hill, N. C H. KNIGHT IS BACK FROM LONG EUROPEAN TOUR University Professor Has Returned From Kenan Foundation Study From Kenan Foundation Study Tour. After spending practically a whole year in Europe as Kenan travelling professor, Dr. Edgar W. Knight, pro fessor of rural education In the Uni versity of North Carolina, has returned to Chapel Hill. - The State hus been kept in close touch with his travels while he has been absent through a series of very Inter esting articles on educational methods in Denmark which he has from time to time contributed to the larger American dailies. In these articles Dr. Knight expressed himself as being, highly grat ified that the North Carolina Educa tion Association gave definite and full endorsement to the movement for longer school term and additional schools for the training of teachers. Dr. Knight is President of the Association. "A longer school term and a large In crease iu teachers' colleges are both long overdue necessities in our State," he de clared. "It is quite significant that the teachers ' themselves have become so aroused over the needs and now pledge united effort to see that better provision is made by governing authority in North Carolina for the 300,000 school children who now have only six months schooling each year. This gross injustice must be removed. And the State must have a full dozen reputable colleges to train teachers for these children before com plete justice is given them'' Dr. Knight left Europe about the time the Geneva meeting of the council of the league of nations failed and was very much impressed with the gloom which that failure caused. "Everything there was widespread un easiness, if one could judge by the papers," he said. "The league seemed important to meet its first crisis and its resort to procrastination discloses a weakness that many well wishers had hoped would not appear. It is discourag ing that this alleged organization instru ment of peace in the world is again threatened by the wily machinations of Intriguers and so soon becomes object of fresh plots and perils. "Among the' so-called statesmen of Europe may be seen the old suspicions, the old fashioned wire-pulling, the con stant fears of one another. Enmity flour inshing in their hearts stands as the age old stumbling block to stability. To visitor and onlooker it seems that the object of their moves is not of peace but of hospitality. They keep up the ugly and perilous partition of Europe into enemy and allied campus. v "The clumsy and circuitous methods of diplomatic bargaining in secret con ference shock the people who had hoped that the so-called spirit of Locarno was real. Perhaps," continued Dr. Knight, 'The people some day will try to end wars by making those who make ware fight them." 9t tjje Cjmrcfjeg ,. .

BIRDS-EYE VIEW OF THE SPORT WORLD By I N. Bran All of the poets and "colyum artists have spilled reams and reams of poetlc thought concerning the coming of sprin(t and what it means. AH of their sent! ment and reams of writing mean noth ing to the true followers of 8port m over the world. To the denlsons of the Sport World the balmy days of 8prJn. mean simply that the hey-day of sport is coming. Basketball and the other sports are fine in their place, but the "days of real sport" to the majority of 100 Americans Is whan the crack 0' the bat and horsehide is sounding over the sandlots and stadiums of the land For nearly a month now the Tar Heel ball tossers have been limbering a u soup-bones down on Emerson Field, and every afternoon finds the stands filled with a goodly crowd of students t .... the baseballers work. Every sound crack of the old apple brings comments from the crowd, for the real thrill of the rih, mond game for the spectator is in the batting end of the contest. A ni.n performance In the field brings forth some admiration, but the Ioiik noiinlnrit,, of Babe Ruth proves that the Science ,,f Swat is Jhe real drawing card for the stands. .". t Every member of North Carolina's "Big Five" will miss the stars of W year when the final roll is called before (the curtain rises over the intercollegiate season. Of course others will rise to take their places, but the old stars still linger in the minds of the fans.' Just to illustrate the number that passed from the stage overnight almost just take a peep at the Tar Heels all-state selection of last spring and see how many are missing this year- ALL-STATE TEAM OF 1925 II. Johnson, Duke, catcher. Armstrong, Wake Forest, first base Turner, Duke, second base. T. Johnson, Carolina, shortstop. Holland, State, third base. Bonner, Carolina, left field. Smithdeal, Guilford, center field. Correll, State, right field. Dempster, Duke, (Capt.) pitcher. . Sorrell, Wake Forest, pitcher. Ferebee, Carolina, pitcher. Of the even dozen players mentioned on the list only two are still playing col lege baseball. They are Sorrell, Wake Foret's pitching ace, and Frank Smith- deal, star outfielder of Guilford. All of the others either graduated and went into professional baseball or are coach ing prep and high school outfits some where in the state. Johnny Johnson, who was elected captain of the Tar Heels for the 1926 season, remained in college until four weeks ago when he was forced to drop out due to the illness of his mother.

The Chapel Hill high school girls' bas ketball sextette completely overwhelmed the Durham high school teachers' team Tuesday night in Bynum gym by the score of 64-11. The name started off with a rush for Chapel Hill, and from the opening whis tle the rushinir was done by the younger girls. Hie visiting team was composed of several former collegiate players who showed woeful lack of training. Neville and Walker, Chapel Hill guards, were the biggest obstacles in the way ot the tosses thrown by the visitors' attack. eville remained in the game during the entire landslide and by her unusual long passes from the rivals' territory was able to give the Chapel Hill forwards, espe cially Hogan, "the petite wonder," an opportunity to ring basket after basKti. Hoiran threw over half of Chapel Hi" s points being credited with a total of 34 points. M. Parker and Gooch were next hhrh scorers with 14 tallies. Durham made only three points during the first half on a field goal by Bishop and a foul try by Drewry.
