None of the volunteer members draw a salary or call-answer fee, but they receive .the benefit of a $1,500 insurance policy, which he town carries on each fire man. ' ; The facts speak for , them. selves. In a town of nearly six thousand population (approxi mately half of it "floating") with a property valuation of - over nine million dollars, there is not even one full-time, paid fireman The volunteer members ' of the company acquit themselves well at a fire, but their lack of train ing is egregious. With over nine Any of us can get some boys a round us, say we are Alpha Al pha fraternity, an organization of the best crap shooters on the campus, and take our place a mong the oher organizations. Soon we are known as the hon orary, crap shooters fraternity, and our members as eminen crap shooters. ; T - Now to get to the point. Have I, have you a right, to uphold or condemn' any of these above or ganizations ? , I say no ! None of us have any license to argue a- bout something that is none of our business. The Fleece'is not our business, because; it is not prehistoric age and are but vain flattery such as appeals to only the "common herds!.'1: We, "the Intelligentsia," the advanced thinkers are not to be "Bam boozled" by such silly "relics 0: high and prep-school days." ; The only men who deserve any honor or recognition on the campus are the men who abolish something, edit something or are elected to some campus of fice by "machine politics." . The clarion call is sounded down with everything that has the faintest tint of custom, Three "Louzzy cheers for any body who is opposed to anything, On the other hand, . these write-ups might possibly be the last "praise" that some of these men ever get. It is only just,' fitting and proper that they should be deprived of it if pos sible. The fact that these men ever came here and did anything could be even more obscured if the pictures were- left out of the Yackety Yack or the Yackety Yack were not even printed What is the Yackety Yack for, anyhow, if not a place for write ups and pictures of seniors? v R.

Engineers Meet Senior Electric Student Talks on Op eration of Watt Hour Meter. ,The Carolina student branch of the American Institute of En gineers met " in Phillips , Hall Thursday night and heard a talk delivered by J.

The result of this inadequacy comes to discussing the utility and the increasing loss by fire in of the organization I believe we the village is. resilient upon. the j property owners..

Now Duke doesn't have :to worry a boiit getting a' ipomical magazine. It has two in one combination. Married men are cowardly kissers in the movies, reports Pauline Starke, heroine of many "clinch fade-outs." "It's their subconscious fear, of the jealousy of ; their wi ves," she ' explains. "They don't put any spirit into it." We suppose that is one of those "believe it if you want to." Carolina has another "first" that an outsider had to tell us about. .The write-up of the Carolina-George Washington debate in the G. W. student paper an nounced that .

Kike Kyserv and His Orchestra which needs no introduction to Carolina enthu siasts has been engaged and will be on hand to furnish music and entertainment. Special features have been arranged for enter tainment in addition. The early announcement of the dance be- fore the holidays has enabled a larger number of girls than usu al to make plans to attend and the number of invitations that have been accepted points to this fact. Indications are that it will be a goodly collection of damsels that grace the Gym next Friday night - The dance will be informal and will be free of charge to all third year men in good standing and who have paid their class dues.
