PARAGRAPHICS 1
Uncle Bim still lives. "God's
in His heaven, all's right with
the world."
With this balmy weather, it
looks ' like the ' Groundhog' ,has
lost his efficaciouSnessV'
With the renovation of New
East neariiig completion, work
on the Graham' Memorial '' has
been resumed. That's making
material progress, all right.
We wish to commend the Com
mittee on Grounds and Build
ings for its excellent work in
beautifying that part of the cam
pus which lies between the Gym
nasium and the Stadium. Now
if the committee will only em
bellish the plot south of South
building, the "campus beautiful"
will be more of an actuality.
With such notables as Sena
tor Borah and Vice-President
Dawes being invited to make
public appearances here, the
University bids' fair to. get in
the limelight even more than it
is at present. 1
This month will afford the op
portunity of a lifetime by show
ing two planets which are oth
erwise never easily visible and
giving it close1 approach of
Venus and Jupiter. Tonight
as soon as the sun has set, look
out on the western sky and be
hold the spectacle of the bright
est two of all planets, Venus and
Jupiter; shining as if they Were
twins. Jupiter, the giant of our
solar system, is the upper one
of the two, but Venus is far
more brilliant. : If you would
catch them at the time of .their
closest approach, they, seem to
be so hear each other that the
full moon could only barely
wriggle through the space still
left. February 13 and 24 will
afford other phenomena.
OPEN FORUM
DULA WONT RESIGN
Editor of Tar Heel:
With reference to an "Edi
torial Comment" which recent
ly appeared in the Tar Heel,
and which' seemed to intimate
that some aspiring young man
had essayed to write Ye Editor
and sign some "other person's
name with a highly fictitious
title it might or might not' be
appropriate to put some "Edi
torial Comment m reverse and
add a few remarks along ttiis
and similar lines. Being Edi
torially Dubbed "Editor of the
Open Forum,"poetic" license to
do so is assumed to be an ad
junct to such an exalted and
high function, or office. The ru
mor was prevalent in the edi
tor's comment that the editor
had resigned. There is a. 'dif
ference between a man's resign
ing a position and nis merely
taking a much-needed vacation
-the truth of this is assumed to
be apparent the "Editor" has
not resigned. i
Some people are born great,
some achieve greatness, and oth
ers have 'greatness thrust upon
them." : The editor of the Tar
Heel seems to be employing
some tnrusung tactics upon
Yours Truly, the ultimate result
of which is as yet unforeseen.
Some people imagine that they
are great, when, in fact, they
are only Duds, and their great
ness exists only in their imagin
ation. Such greatness is often
displayed by people who slip a
cog in their, mental machinery,
and suffering from a hallucina
tion, imagine that they are some
one else such as Napoleon, Har
ry K. Thaw, or Rockefeller.
Such probably was the condition
of the "unfortunate" young man
who "vainly" fancied himself to
be "R. L. Dula, and Secretary
to Mr. Soandso." (The Editor
of the Tar Heel cannot be as
sumed to have had anything to
do with any connecting influ
ence.) This "unfortunate" might
possibly get more pleasure that
he was someone or something
truly "great, such as Alexander
the Great and secretary of the
World's Court, or president of
the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Lovelorn Tomcats
But for the . greatest- social
good and the best interests of
11 let any individual imagine
that he is whoever or whatever
affords' him the most pleasure
from Adam to a Newborn Babe,
or from a Chinese coolie to the
resident of the Di Society. .

SENATOR BORAH
MAY SPEAK HERE
Idahb Congressman Asked to
Talk oh Human Relations.
Senator, Borah is still trying
to arrange his engagements so
that he will be able to speak at
Carolina on the 20th of Febru
ary.. His theme dealing with a
topic dear to the Senator, hu
man relations in international af
fairs, would find an eager audi
ence here. The difficulty,
which may result in his failure
to appear,' is due to an engage
ment to speak at Yale and the
postponement of that speech is,
as yet, a matter of doubt.
Senator Borah, the chairman
of the foreign relations commit
tee, has differed recently with
several of the administration's
foreign policies, but has been re
strained from an open break
with the administration. Poli
ticians accuse him of party ir
regularity, but thousands
throughout the country recog
nize him as a keen analyst of
political problems and as a man
with the courage of his convictions.
We recently began a general
survey of the University. Its
undergraduates and faculty we
have discussed ; but a very im
portant feature of any univer
sity is its graduate student en
rollment. So today we make bold
to introduce to the average stu
dent that department which
probably does more to attract
the attention of outside edu
cators than any other branch of
this University.
Ye Graduate Students
Have you ever Wondered who
these owl-like students are?
What siren could lure to aca
demic torture the man who has
already extorted one ordinary
degree from college? Such
wretches are to be watched
They aren't fat or sleek-headed,
and they don't sleep o' nights as
high school literature declares
good men do.
The. school was founded in
1881. Its latest summer and
regular enrollment was 450
members. By studying for one,
two, three, or an infinity of
years, graduate students here
may get the following degrees:
Master of'' Arts; Master of Sci
ence; and Doctor of Philosophy.
Philosophy" here includes all
realms of knowledge the usual
philosophy" study, English,
math, the sciences, etc.
The Graduate School and Our
Reputation
Certainly every Carolina stu
dent has heard that tattered
phrase, "best school in the
South." Yet few realize that
they know very little about that
department which is far more
responsible for the prestige of
this University than its under
graduate body. The University
of North Carolina, in spite of
what girls tell you, is not noted
for its manly and enlightened
students, but for its faculty and
curricula. And the only thing
that smacks of a university is
our graduate school outlay, hot
the sketchy courses in the A. B.
or B. S. colleges. The course
which the average student em
braced during his four years
here are mere child's play to the
faculty. It is only after a stu
dent begins to major in a given
field or takes graduate courses
that he has strong contact with
that University of North Caro
lina which is so highly lauded.
The "best school in the South"
which Mencken wrote about is
best not because of its bright
boys, but because of its gradu
ate student facilities and its at
mosphere of intellectual liberal
ity. Why Johns Hopkins doesn't
even have a freshman class! So
this undergraduate body may
whoop itself purple in the face.

Noteworthy Publications
The publications of this de
partment are recognized as ex
cellent by critics who value such
works as: the Elis ha Mitchell
Journal; the James Sprunt His
torical Monographs; Research in
Progress; Studies in Philology;
the noted Journal of Social
Forces; and the Low Review.
These are not all., But they a
lone do more to establish the
place1 of this University than
the Tar Heel, Carolina Maga
zine, Yackety Facfc, or Bucca-
WW A 1 -I 1
neer. ' now many oi tnem ao
you know?
Other Distinctive Features
This University is known for
its faculty and administration.
That part of the faculty which
has made the reputation of the
institution did not come here to
teach History and 2, but some
thing like History 199 or Eng
lish 152. So those students who
don't appreciate the graduate
school, but who tell their high
school friends : "WE are the peo
ple" are on a dry drunk.
The 'graduate degrees given
by this institution are a credit
to a state university which is
hampered by a lack of finances.
An entrant to this higher de
partment must, in order to get
a degree, have finished an A. B.
or B. S. course at an accredited
school. After the- applicant is
admitted, he must maintain an
average of C (see) on half his
work; on the other half he must
make B's (bees). So they are
the guys who stay sober on
week-ends. 1

The administrative board of
the graduate school numbers
more authorities, we were told
while in an adjoining state, than
any other like board in the
South. Do 'you know the fol
lowing Doctors : Chase, Royster,
AC. Howell, MacNider, W. C.
Coker, Dey, Daggett, Bell,
Knight, Pierson, Murchison,
Harrer, and Jordan? The dean
of this department is Dr. James
Finch Royster.
The research facilities of the
University have been excellent.
We hint at the notable work done
in a fe'w subjects: Pharmacol
ogy: linghts disease, toxicity
and its prevention in anaesthet
ics ; chemistry : dyes, explosives,
and local coal; physics: photo
electric phenomena and prob
lems of atomic structure ; engin
eering: moisture control on
highway grades and problems
of earth pressure on culvert
pipes; personnel psychology
problems ; history : Southern,
state, Rom'an and classic; soci
ology : North Carolina rural and
mill conditions. We do not aim
at completeness or importance
in this very brief list; but the
average student should find this
work of some significance and
interest. '
Members of the undergradu
ate body hardly realize the ab
solute necessity of a new library
to the continuance of this val
uable research.- But Gawd, don't
we need heat in the "tin can !"
Still, this interest in luxuries for
an athletics building is more to
be expected than an interest in
the necessities of the real Uni
versity of learning. That Uni
versity, is not so conspicuous ;
and students hardly have time
to search for anything. But this
spirit of search should be fos
tered. .Let anything be adopted
to train the hounds we vote for
Easter egg. hunts.
Can we who can't see the Uni
versity find a little egg?

His FAITH unconquerable, his passion for,
work irresistible, his accomplishment not sur
passed in the annals of invention, Thomas
Alva Edison has achieved far more than man
kind can ever appreciate; February eleventh is
the eightieth anniversary of his birth.
Wherever electricity is used in homes, in busi
ness, in industry there are hearts that are con
sciously grateful that humbly pay him homage.
