Entered as second-class mail matter at the Post Office, Chapel Hill, N. a Thursday, April 7, 1927 PARAGRAPHICS Scheming politicians had this campus divided into regular pol itical divisions. You could hear a "boss" say that he was carry ing district 4, ward 6, precinct 9, etc. But anyway, the candi dates that carried Graham Mem orial are the ones that won. The new plan of having op tional class attendance for jun iors and seniors does not seem to be causing any empty class rooms. Nobody seems to be missing any education by the J Germany of system, bome professors still continue to call the roll. The motto coming with the announcement about Commence ment invitations that Van invi tation in time may bring in a mine" reminds us of the time we graduated from prep school. Bought about 40 invitations with the expectation that they would bring in several hundred dollars worth of presents. Arid, begor ra, we just did make expenses. Speaking about the value of controversy, Dean Bradshaw said in chapel the other day that "the system of student govern ment now in effect on the Uni versity campus is the only sort of government of this kind in the United States." The dean really said a mouth full. The Technician of N. C, State came out will an all-fools' day edition announcing that Otto Wood had been added to the coaching staff, that Shaw Uni versity and State were going to unite, that St. Mary's and State are to have a merger for a school of loving, that Otto Wood had offered to give his place of abode to Dr. Crooks as a state home, and tha the editor and his as sistants were spending the week- "We are moving in a world of con stant sex excitement. f Pornographic magazines, portraying human bodies in nude, form high piles of filth on every news-stand. Dancing, as it is practiced in many dance halls, is the essence of a sex orgy. Physical at tainments of the sex goal are too easi ly . obtainable. , It cannot alone give one the spiritual satisfaction human beings long, for." Thus Dr. Edith H. Swift, of the American Social Hy giene Association, has given us a sub ject, though it may sound like the beginning of a sermonette. Salacious magazines featuring fig ures of feminine pulchritude and phys ical perfection have been, : removed from the shelves of news-stands in several North Carolina cities. Tho removal of these so-called "art" mag azines which stressed nudity and lewd stories is causing worry among stu dents and lovers of the aesthetic, as the . nude and semi-nude exposures were termed by some. Such "studies in art", are conspicuous by their ab sence in Durham, Raleigh, Charlotte, Greensboro, and other towns and cities. And the dearth of such lech erous and aphrodaisical literature is bemoaned by many. JN early ten-tentns of the porno graphic magazines and comics invari ably carry pictures of semi-clad wom; en on the covers.- We ask, why not the picture of a pretty dog for a change? ' A good dog is a much bet ter friend to man than most women. But depraved literature is not the only means of creating present-day sex appeal. The sordid sex novelist is competing with banality, vulgarity, and indecency on stage and screen. Flood lamps have long shone on the vicious exploitation and degradation of the stage by those that lack re spect for 'decency and seek-to" coin immorality into profit The cinemato graph has been doing the same thing for the screen. Older people are cry ing out that youth is being fed with too much filth, that many of the shows are harmful to the morals of youth and distasteful to self respectful peo ple.. New York recently went into a furor about the licentiousness on the stage and brought up the ques tion of employing a czar to cleanse it, as has been done in basebalL Earl Carroll's act of exposing a silly, drunken girl, naked in a bath tub from which depraved men drank wine, and the burlesque in Atlanta about capped the climax of an appeal to a depraved taste. Apostles of the so-called "new mor ality," which is a term brazenly used for the age-old immorality, say that the people are getting what they want There is a question as to whether the theatre has debauched the people or the people debauched the theatre," says the Indianapolis News. A pro ducer, in Scribner's magazine, asks: "Is the motion picture debasing the public taste, or' is public taste debas ing the motion picture?" Americans blame "those insidious Europeans" and vice versa, A group of Germans said recently that they wished to rid the demoralizing influ ences from abroad." And thus the blame for the prurient tastes shifts from place to place. A local contemporary noting that "America is talking, reading, and harkening to the call of sex" takes the local picture theatre as an exam ple. He points out that the six pic tures presented in one certain week bore the following titles: Don't Tell the Wife, The Popular Sin, For Wives Only, The Waning Sex, A Kiss in a "axi, and Getting Gertie's Garter. And every showing drew a capacity house! But the , New York American has found the three saviors.. It contends that 'light, decency, and law have ruled the world thus far and will con tinue to rule. Light, representing the intelligence of men, destroys germs of immorality and indecency and cleans up ofcher pestholes, including those established in the theatres, for the profit of obtuse and consciousless men. Decency is the power that pre vails in public opinion in the minds of at least ninety percent of the peo ple of this country. And law is the, power by which men compel those that lack moral light and decency to refrain from public display of their unworthiness." Long live light, decency, and lawl NEXT THURSDAY IS BEGINNING OF HIGH SCHOOL WEEK HERE State Debate Finals, Track Meets, and Tennis Tourna ments Will Be Held.

Whatever the work to be done, whether it needs the power of an elephant or the force of a man's arm, there Is a General Electric -motor that will do it faith fully for a lifetime at a cost of a few cents an hour. . ELEPHANTS The elephant is man's most intelligent helper. But consider this interesting comparison: An elephant is much larger than the electric - motor of a "yarder" or logging machine. The "yarder" has the power of twenty elephants; it handles clusters of logs; ..it works dependably, twenty-four hours at a stretch, if necessary. Twenty elephants would eat daily 10,000 pounds of green food, which a corps of attendants must ' gather. A motor "eats" nothing but electricity, supplied at the throw of a switch. Power used in the modern ' industrial world is applied through electriG motors tireless "iron elephants" that are relegating antiquated ma chines to museums, along with such oldtime household articles as wash-tubs and ordinary irons and stuffed elephants. ; 201-65DH ENEML ELECTRIC OBNIRAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, SOHENJICTADI, NEW.
