CO-OPERATION . The uiversity has become a mecca for conventions since the Carolina Inn was completed more than a year ago. This week-end the accountants and bankers 'are meeting nere. The late Edward Kidder Graham's conception of a university was that it was a repository of learning for the people of the state, a conception which the University has tried to make a complete realization and it has failed not. ,: Today, not ... only approximately 2500 people are getting instruction as resident students, but a much larger number of people out in the state, are being served by the Uni versity through the Extension Divi sion. Associations and large groups of all kinds are invited to hold con ventions here. And the purpose is not merely to boost the institution, but rather it is for the betterment of the University, the people of the State as a whole. It has often been said that col leges and universities give too much theory and not enough practice. If so, that is just where the function of the conventions comes in. Take the accountants and bankers who are here during the latter days of this week as an illustration. The 'Uni versity offers theory and all the prac tice posible in both of these vocations or professions.- The convention brings practical men here and there is an intermingling of theory and practice. Both groups exchange ideas and as a result both are bene fitted. . .r The University authorities and the offerers of the conventions are to be congratulated for working together and co-operating for the betterment of the University, the people and the State. , OPEN FORUM Saturday, May 8, 1928 We recommend the Open Forum letter by W. E.r H. in this issue to the readers and approve of it hearti- Poor old Buccaneer! The Yellow Journal called rthe Tar "Heel the campus funny paper and now the so called comic has no need to exist. In speaking of Dr. Coker, a co-ed 'calles our attention to the fact that the botanist and campus beautifier had a private entrance made into the Arboretum for the co-eds. John T. Scopes was arrested in Dayton, Tenn., a year ago last Tues day. More than one man could have been arrested in Charlotte, North Carolina, last Tuesday. The Chapel Hill Weekly is crusad ing to find Dr. Eben Alexander a crow. The "Yellow Journalists" proved that they could find out most any thing so maybe they will turn up with the crow soon. . - i . . The Rotundoa says "since that young woman died from the effects of sleeping in a corset several girls we know can't decide whether to abandon sleep or corsets.1" Page the modernist ! Most all the girls we know have settled that problem long ago. v-v:. ..-, ;V" Seven Duke co-eds were tapped by the Order of the White " Dutcliy which is. the sister organization of the Red Friars at the Bull Durham University. Carolina has her out standing women and, therefore, should have some kind ef honorary organization for the element. . Senior Week is always one of the most colorful weeks of the year on the campus. The august students are Jto appear in Tuxarrow collars and class color ties and swing their canes by their sides. Such a "scene" gives other undergraduates something to look forward to with much gusto. ETIQUETTE We have always had a desire to say something about the manners, culture and refinement of the stu dents here. We know that every student does not have a complete set of etiquette or a book on culture, but it does seem that the most com mon mannerisms would be "picked up trom those who know. We often see a boy walking down the street between two girls or if there is only one girl, the boy has the girl on the outside or next to the gutter. It became a rule in Lon don back in the sixteenth century jtvhen the streets were extremely mud dy and the vehicles threw mud and water from Jhe kennels, or gutters as they are called today, on people on the sidewalks for gentlemen to walk on the outside or next to the gutters when with ladies. The rule has been handed down from genera tion to generation and is centuries old, yet many people do not observe it today. ' , ',. Guilford College has instituted a course in manners and The Guil fordians has the following to say about it: "At last Guilford College has insti tuted a new course in her curriculum a course in manners. The Guil fordians has felt the need of and has advocated such a measure for some time, and is indeed happy to find that its hopes are materializing. "The question before the faculty committee, who were instrumental in securing such a course, is, will the students support them? As we have said before, those who object to good manners are the ones who usuaDy in hale their soup, eat with a knife, loll on the table, tilt back in their chairs, wield a fork as if pitching hay into a barn loft, satisfiedly wipe their mouth on their coat sleeves, guffaw loudly and long and actually make themselves repulsive to those - with whom they come in contact.' Any person so shallow and superficial, as to object to this course will probably in ninety-nine cases out of one hun dred be unfit and undesirable as a student at Guilford College. k "We hold that the step the fac ulty has just taken to improve the culture and refinement of Guilford College will be of more assistance to the men and women who walk out into the world with a diploma than any book knowledge they may have received." -.- Editor Ta Hkelj . I am hawked. If you have ever been hawked, you know how it is you sim ply must tell somebody about it. I am therefore hopeful that you will print this letter in your "Open Forum" col umn. ; ; I went down to Emerson Field this afternoon..' I was expecting to see about 30 new men out for the baseball team. You may wonder why I was so expect ant, but if you had been sitting with me at the N, C. State game you would understand perfectly. I had the ex treme misfortune to be near a bunch of apparent big-leaguers. They seemed to take a wonderful delight in criti cizing the whole team, paying excep tional favor to one man in particular. They gave variety to the cheers (if any) of the spectators by yelling "Take him out P, "Rotten !" "Aw !", and Innum erable other dirty digs. . I suggested to the loudest of the crowd that I was expecting to see him tryiag out for second base the next day, and he was fair enough to admit that he couldn't beat Bob Sides. About that time Bob came to the bat and slammed out a long single to center, and the aforementioned spectator seemed actu ally disappointed because he didn't have anything to growl about. It's just as Monk McDonald said .in chapel the first year I was a freshman here (somebody will probably say that I am still a freshman) "If you are good enough to ran any of our play ers, then you should by all means go out for the team." I am not sure that that is exactly what he said, but it about the same. I will add to this that if you do , not have time to play, you might at least go out and enlighten the boys ' with your knowledge of the the ory of baseball. Lastly, we must remember that the members of our team are not our ser vants; we do not pay them to represent us. The reason they are out there is that they worked three hours every aft ernoon for three months, and they are the best that is in us. 'Even if they are having . a poor season, they are representing us, and they deserve our support by the very fact that they are out there. W. E. H. MATHERLY SPEAKER v AT LYNCHBURG MEET W. J. Matherly, Professor of Busl ness Administration in the University, delivered an address before the Mer chants Institute in Lynchburg, V&, on Friday, April 30. The subject of his address was "Functions of Business." The Extension Division of the Uni versity of Virginia, of which George Zehmer, formerly Assistant Director of the Extension Division here, is Director, is putting on a series of these Institutes which are held one week in each town. The merchants and their employees in the towns in which the' institutes are being held register for the courses and they doubtless, derive much good from the institutes. , '; ;',' ' Professor Matherly is acting as fac ulty member and will appear one night at each of the institutes. ' Institutes will be held in Roanoke, . Richmond, Norfolk, and the one in Lynchburg has been completed. Frosh Debate Try outs Will Be Held Monday Tryouts for the Freshmen Intercol legiate Debate will be held Monday night in the Phi Hall at 7 o'clock. The query is, Retolvtd, That the military forces of the United States should be coordinat ed into a department of national defense with sub-branches for the Army, Navy, and Air Forces. At these tryouts only one affirmative and one negative speak er will be picked as the other four were chosen at the first preliminaries. - Each team is composed of three debaters. ( This Freshman Intercollegiate Debate is an annual event. This year the Caro lina freshmen team debates the David son freshmen May 18, the Carolina neg ative team meeting Davidson's affirma tive team at Davidson, while the Caro lina affirmative team debates Davidson's negative here. . All freshmen interested in debating are urged to come to these tryouts. Professor Matherly will discuss "Why the Intellectual man does not go to Church," at the Baptist Sunday School, 9:45 a. m. This subject promises to be one of special interest and doubtless a great many students will be present to hear him. Dean Carroll and D. M. Eeezer spent last week-end in Washington and New York. V .

' SPRING SEMINAR INSTrrUTE MEETS Held Under Auspices of R i search in Social Science. TWO SPEAKERS HEARD Dr. Higby Presides Over Wednesday Night's Meeting. Dr. C. P. Higby presided at the regu lar meeting of the series of seminars of the Institute fgr Research in Social Sci ences for the Spring Quarter, which was held in Saunders Hall, room 112, wj. nesday night, May 5th, at 7:30 ImC Dr. J. HuKinga, Professor of Social His tory at Liuen University, and Mrs. Guion Griffis Johnson, were the speakers of the occasion. There was about 50 present at the meeting. Dr. Huixinga, who is fellowship sentative of the Laura Spillman Rocke- fellow Memorial for the Netherlands, dis cussed some differences In the way of approaching American and Euronean history. According to Dr. HunUinita. American History is difficult foir the Eu ropean mind. This, he said, is larl attributed to (1), lack of conflict be tween an old order and a new order such as is found in European Historv. Ameri can history is so new that all social forces are new. There was no feudal ism, no old rich church, no absolute mon archy, no secular hostility between neigh boring nations, Professor Hubinga said. (2) In American history the economic factor comes much more to the fore ground than in European history. To il lustrate this point, Professor Huiiinga listed some of the outstanding events of the Nineteenth Century in Europe and contrasted them with important issues of the same century in America. The for mer, he said, although they cannot be in terpreted without an economic considera tion, are presented first as political events, while in the American Issues the economic factor is more prominent and these must be understood first from the economic standpoint Following Dr. Huixinga, Mrs. Guion Griffis Johnson presented some aspects of social history in North Carolina, em phasizing especially method, sources, and the difficulties involved in the evaluation of such material.

C rows Electricity, which can release woman from her burdens, has already created a revolution in American industry. Wherever mankind , labors, General Electric motors can be found carrying loads, driving machin ery and saving time and labor. And there is no branch of elec trical development i today to which General Electric has not made important contributions. A series of G-E advertisements showing what electricity is doing in many fields will be sent on request. Ask for book let GEK-1. Ina field in sunny Spain stands a stone mortar. Crows hover around it, picking up bits of grain and cliaff-r-cawing. Here Marcheta, in the fresh beauty of her youth, will come to pound maize. For years she will pound maize. The stone will stand up under the blows; not a dent has the muscle of three generations of women made upon it. But the crows will hurl their black gibes upon a woman aging early and bent with toil. Old Marcheta still in her thirties. The American woman does, not pound maize. But she still beats carpet; she still pounds clothes; she still pumps water. She exhausts her strength in , tasks which electricity can do better, and in half the tim6. The high ideals of a community mean little where woman is still doomed to drudgery. But the mir acles which electricity already has performed indicate but a fraction of the vast possibilities for better living and the tremendous opportunities which the future developments in electricity will hold for the college man and woman.
