Tuesday, May 17, 1927 PARAGRAPHIA That fraternity initiations may be made more lively,,the Inter-fraternity Council rules that there shall be no more ceremonies in the cemetery. . ' The day of the great game at Greensboro hath come and gone the glorious girls of both institutions cheered the Tar Heels in an admirable manner to victory. And that's that Now we understand the why of Senior Week: so as to let everybody know just who are the seniors, the select. Week after next week, we would warn, it should be spelled Se nior Weak. One of our contemporaries finds that commencement exercises are nothing but a "bunchy on insipid blath er spat upon an audience bored by the continual gush of nonsensical tirade . . We suppose bo ! "Sugar Bowl Is Filling With Wa ter," headlines the Raleigh Times with narry a statement as to whether there will be any peaches and cream in the bowl. "The surprise of the Pulitzer award list,"i reports the NEA book survey, "was the selection of Paul Green's tragic and moving play of negro life, In Abraham's Bosom,' for dramatic honors He hails from South Caro lina." The surprise of the award to Paul Green must be to discover how generally he is reported to hail from somewhere other than his native state' Greensboro Daily News. - Efforts to get the students inter ested in The Wataugan, the college magazine, has at last succeeded. This publication now ranks favorably with The Carolina Magazine, which con tained the "Slaves" story, and the American Mercury issue that carried "Hatrack" as the most popular "lit erary" publications that have been seen here during the year. One stu dent reports that he recently dug out his file of The Wataugan and read all the editorials published to date. N. C. State Technician. .Three and thirty .student gather in Gerrard flail . this evening to. be in ducted in the ;PJii Beta, Kappa honor ary scholastic fraternity. ; The cere mony tonight represents consistent, as well as persistent, work of a high de gree of excellence over a period of eight quarters. ..". The time was when less than a half dozen men made an average suffice to make them a member of the group. Now the number approaches " two score. -This comparison though it be made between a period when the Unj versity was half its present bigness and today carries with it much signi ficance. It points out that scholarship is improving along with other things. Needless to say the honor , that is to be conferred on the initiates to night is not the single show of their accomplishments. The key of the or ganization represents nothing more than the recognition of scholarship and meritorious work. ; In this time when extra-curricular activities are taking, so much of the time of the student, there may be a tendency to look on membership of Phi Beta Kappa as not worth the time and trouble. Which, however, is not the true case. , v ; k The Tar Heel knows of no other or ganization on the campus whose mem-i bership should be prized more highly than that of Phi Beta Kappa. Those who are received by the organization tonight have an enviable accomplish ment and are being distinctly honored. PHI TAKES WOMEN After a "full forty-five minutes" of heated discussion, the Philanthropic Society voted at the last meeting to admit women to its membership. Now if the Tar Heel tended towards the dramatical, the shades of shadows of former members, of what we are wont to call the august assembly,-would be invited down. Women have been up and coming since the board "Wnstees voted in 1897 to admit them as . students in the University. I First " they came- as graduate students, and row as upper- classmen in alt, ; departments and schools of the University. Whether the Philanthropic Society is to "be congratulated or condemned for its action is a matter for the fu ture. It has been observed that the presence of the opposite sex on many occasions has proven a decided disad vantage. On the other hand, the la dies have addd much to many organi zations. t Where once the deep-bass voice of Judge Manning and other die-hards boomed orations, inveighled against co-education, and 'with due virility damned forever those who would ad mit women to ajGy male jBrganization, now the sweet ariij soft .voice of Miss Soandso will dwell oii'Ve resolutions before the 'deceraberedl (house.

L." Mencken, noted cynical critic wrote an article for the Chicago Tribune which he called "The Battle Below the Potomac.'V In this article he .criticised the South very Severely. Mr, Mencken came to Atlanta first. He seemed to be very favorably im pressed with Atlanta. Speaking of Atlanta -he says, "The pearl of the whole section is obviously Atlanta, now one of the loveliest of American cities. It, has what is, in more than one way, the best hotel I have ever encountered in America." ; Mr. Men cken also seemejLto be impressed with the architecture in Atlanta. Compar ing it with the architecture of Los Angeles, he says, "In Loa Angeles every architectural abomination ever invented runs wild. 1 People live in houses in no way suited to their lives." .- Although Mencken was somewhat sarcastic in. speaking of the old South era "Kultur," he praised the South's stride in education. He seemed to think that the University at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, was even lead ing the country in the ' search ' for greater knowledge. Their method is far- better for teaching- than those used in the West and North. Mr. Mencken states, "For it ,is not .at tempting to convert itself into a gi gantic rolling mill for the production of swine husbandmen, shyster law yers, or village miisic teachers; it is tackling the fundamental problems of southern life, and bringing to their solution a magnificent enterprise and a high order of skill." Speaking of Mississippi, which he places at the bottom of everything, he says, "Miss issippi is still plunged in the black ness that engulfed them all down to 1900. ' Its State University is a joke, and its state press is dreadful." . Mr. Mencken does not deny" that the South has turned out some real men. He mentions such names as Julian Harris of Georgia, Poteat - of North Carolina, Wright of South Car olina, Hall of Alabama. These men are "not reformers in the ordinary sense," says he, "but men who are seeking enlightenment and Who are battling hard toward this end." - Mencken is not so far wrong on this either. .We really do need men who know the right way when they see it and are not afraid to voice their opinions." The entire South, an the whole country for that matter! is filled with "imbeciles." These peo-i pie, no matter in what walk of life are a menace to the country's wel fare. Only when the right people step forward and take control, for these imbeciles will be here always', will the country go forward in the right direction. Auburn Plainsman.! ATTEND SOCIAL -. WORK MEETING Three Faculty Men Return' from National Social Work Conference. . Biology Banned The New Student says: "A girls! college in Germany has discontinued the study of bioloerv as incomoatible with maidenly modesty." If the Carolina students knew that biology was interesting enough to be banned, the courses here would soon be filled and over-flowing with eager seekers after knowledge!
