Thursday, January 27, 1927. THE TAR HEEL Page Three . BRANSON TALKS ON CITIZENSHIP Economics Professor Gives Four Essentials of Public Spirited Individuals. "A man or a woman can hard ly be a good citizen," said E. C. Branson, Professor of Rural Economics,' in his talk on "The Essentials of Citizen ship" to the North Caro lina Club Monday night, "with out having or developing four essentials, namely, (1) generous interest in community affairs, (2) competent , acquaintance with public problems, and (3) civic courage in behalf of peace, security and progress." And he added (4) that an almost indis pensable condition of good cit izenship lay in home and farm ownership. t In the discussion of his four divisions of his topic, Professor Branson said : , "1. A man must have a gen erous, active interest in common community concerns, in order to be a good citizen. . A good citi zen cannot be an ego-centric per sonality, busy with his own af fairs and indifferent to the prob lems of community and common wealth well-being and welfare. . The worthwhile citizen is al most certain to be generously in terested in better public schools, better public highways, better public health, better conditions of law and order, and better op portunities for the disadvan taged classes. 'And he is sure to believe, as an active principle of life, that whatever is best for the community or the county or the commonwealth is also best for him." ri Second Point . Hi3 second point was; "A good citizen is competently, ac quainted with the public con cerns of , his city or county - or state. He firmly believes that it is his duty to be intelligently schooled in the issues and meas ures and means that make his home town or his home state a better place to live."' Professor Branson insisted that acquaint ance with the tax , puzzles and problems of North Carolina was a basic concern of good citizen ship. Active interest, in this fundamental question, said he, is particularly necessary in the field of municipal and county ad ministration. ,He continued: "But 'civic courage is also necessary for good citizenship the courage to give one's time and money and effort to the community without stint and without reward. The lack of courageous citizenship," said the speaker, "not only in North Carolina, but in the Na tion, has created an era of in timidation and lawless rule by secret bands. Legal machinery fails in the main because private citizens are unwilling to swear out warrants, and testify the truth in grand jury sessions and in court trials, and to stand firm in petit jury rooms." "The fourth condition of citi zenship," continued Professor Branson, "is the ownership of homes : and farms ; mainly be cause the ownership of land means stable, responsible cit izenship. , The pridef ul owner of a home has a chance to be iden tified with his community and to feel a sense of responsibility for community affairs. . . . Democ racy is in peril when its founda tions are laid down in the land lessness and homelessness of 1,650,000 people in North Caro lina. A serious menace lies in restless, roving, irresponsible citizenship, in the Nation as well as in the State."

"Y" Cabinets Converse On Bible Discussions Frazier Glenn is Big Talker at the Senior Meeting."' .The Bible Discussion Groups for the winter quarter was the chief topic of. discussion for the Y. M. C. A. Cabinets at their meetingsMonday, at 7:30 p. m. Special programs are being held for these discussion groups in preparation for the Human Re lations Institute which will be held at Carolina the first week of the Spring Quarter. ' The president, Frazier Glenn, talked to the Senior Cabinet on the importance and service of "Y" Cabinet work, emphasizing the point, that the members should, in addition to their per sonal Christianity, radiate this influence on the campus. Em phasis was also laid upon the seriousness with which the mem bers should consider the , work of their departments. Under the auspices of the Cabinet, Mr. Seerley, Dean of the Y. M. C. A. College, at Springfield, is con ducting a series of lectures on "Sex Hygiene," the final lecture of which will be held in Gerrard Hall tonight. ' Plans for the organization of a , Freshman Deputation team were discussed at the meeting of the Freshman Cabinet Monday night. In addition to giving programs of music and talks in various towns, this team . will have charge of the organization of Hi-Y, Clubs in' communities where there is no Y organization. The first joint session of the new year will be held by the three Y. M. C. A. Cabinets next Monday. The time of the meet ings has been changed to 7:30 to avoid conflicting, with the basketball games, wrestling, and boxing meets during the winter quarter.

Professor Connor quoted r an editorial appearing in the Inde pendent of November 20, 1926. "All the Southern ' states are maving along toward their ideal, but. North Carolina appears most likely to realize her's. She has no Birmingham, no Atlanta, no New Orleans, but she has a Chapel Hill, with its University. She has good roads, great in dustries, and the seed-bed for her. future greatness." Mr. Connor stated that such an edi torial, appearing in a publication such as the Independent, was a source of pride to every Carolinian.

The history and glorious tradition of the Univer sity was mentioned as an im petus for keeping her always at her present eminent . position. Messrs. Lang, , Warren, Hardee, and Uzzell spoke in favor of this resolution. Mr. Spivey, in opening the op position, viewed the bill from a more practical standpoint. He felt that the large appropriation would be most desirable - but hardly probable in the present state of affairs. The remaining intelligent action is to reduce the request of the University to an acceptable amount with the idea of asking for the remainder at a future date. Mr. Johnston was in favor of leaving the mat ter to the discretion of Govern or McLean. He has thoroughly studied, it was pointed outj the state's economic condition and has acted wisely in his refusal to grant the entire appropria tion. The speaker also showed the folly of favoring the resolu tion merely to keep in pace with Duke's, amazing financial pro gram. . ; 1 - The initiation ceremonies for all new members will be held at the next meeting. , Among' this number include every member that has not undergone the rites of initiation.

Expressing the hope that the University will be given suffi cient appropriations to insure its continued development along the lines already approved, he stated that "like the state, the University is still in the forma tive stage of development, and a period of transition. Many of the things the University is do ing are calling for normal devel opment and, failing that, will find their value: and usefulness seriously restricted. Its central problem today is gathering and retaining a faculty of quality, in which it is forced to compete with , the best , . institutions throughout the country, who are making attractive bids for its men. ' . , "In short, the University has not yet reached a basis on which it can stabilize itself; a basis i which might be regarded as a normal and safe , standard in terms of which its future may be outlined. This is true . of its building program for j which some $2,300,000 are still neces. sary, to bring its physical equip, ment up to date, and the corn, pletion of which will mean the ; attainment of a basis from , which building can proceed much . more slowly, with; the , normal expansion of the institution. It is, even more true of the basis of its maintenance." . ' :. V. BUDD-PIPER ROOFING COMPANY Durham, N. C , Roofing and Sheet metal Work s Geo. F, Messner Wm. H.
