College men, Josephus Daniels tells an audience out at State College, are the hope of civilisation. Let us hope so. Greensboro Daily News. There is a notorious gang of seniors hanging around Davie Popular every evening around seven o'clock. Ye Paragraphs hopes that they are not plotting agin the tree that, according to tradition, Governor Davie tied his hoipe to and said, "Well put 'er here, boys." In delivering the address at the Phi Beta Kappa ceremonies Dr. W. W. Pierson rung the bell when he de clared, "There is a rare opportunity knocking insistently at the door of the University to build up a Graduate-School of first rank in the south." This idea; as the speaker pointed out, is not new. Graduate work in the south has, by economic: deficiencies, been necessarily limited. As Dr. Pierson pointed out there are few schools of any ap- preciable importance-below the Poto mac where graduate work may be carried on. Naming the University of North Carolina and the Texas state university, the speaker stated that these were the "two institutions in the south which, come nearest to having graduate schools of first rank." The Tar Heel would add that of the Uni versity of Virginia to the list .'. j Jn the early days of the University's graduate school it was a struggle to make that part of the institution jus tify its name. Under the leadership- of Dean Edwin Greenlaw, now at Johns Hopkin, the graduate school won recognition as one of the, if not the, best and most thorough schools for graduate work in the south. Dr. J. F. Royster, the present dean, by wise administration, careful choice of students, and persistent working for more and better , equipment - nas brought the graduate school up to its present standard of work and 'accom plishment in the way of national recognition. Yet what little has been done by the University in the field of gradu ate, work serves only to point out the need for greater work in that field. During the past year 408 students were registered for graduate work. A total of 40 masters degrees, and 11 doctors of philosophy were conferred on graduates at the commencement of 1926. This year 48 will receive their masters and 15 doctor of philosophy degrees will be granted. This rapid increase of candidates for graduate degrees, in comparison with the .rate of adding equipment, is significant. Last year there were 94 members of the University's faculty giving in struction in graduate work. . ' Held in a state of economic serf dom for over a century and a half, the south now bids far to free itself from this control of the north. Economic freedom will eventually bring' intel lectual freedom. Which means that many southern students are, and will be continuously, turning, to southern universities for graduate work which now "must be had at Chicago, Colum bia, Harvard and other northern in stitutions. The University of North Carolina, already the leader in this field, with its increasing library and research facilities has every opportun ity to continue its leadership in the south and set anothertfor the country m graduate work. '', ' . OPEN FORUM DINAMITE NEEDED Editor of Tar Heel: There is one great service that the new order might do the" campus; that is to drag from cover the conspiracies that have occurred, and by virtue of which the president of the student body has so contemptuously and gross ly ignored the motion, passed by the Student Body in mass meeting, to call a Constitutional Convention in the Spring Quarter. , On the whole the ac tions of this year's student council has been honorable, and it is hard to see how just-before going from office its President justifies himself in ig noring the expressed will of the whole Student Body.Ao call a constitution al convention. The Dinamite Senate will perform a great service if it brings the Stu dent Body to realize that it needs, and must have a constitution to define 8Td protect its interest and wishes against such ignominious official ignorance.

THIEVES AT BULL'S HEAD Editor of Tar Heel: Up to date I have observed no loss es from The Bull's Head Bookshop through theft. I have always thought that students are honest and would not take (advantage of the open and easy opportunity to "lift" a book from the bookshop. I regret to say that one copy of Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis, and one copy of a book of poems by Robert W. Service have dis appeared from the shelves; and that I am forced to conclude that they have been taken away. Because of the fact that the shop is run by volunteer help, it is sometimes necessary to leave it unattended. May I express the hope that the student body will continue in the mam to be as frank and honorable in their use of The BulKs Head Bookshop as they have been for three months, and that the disappearance of these two books is so exceptional as not to warrant put ting a police system in at the shop?

First, the student body has a right to know what to expect of its own publication, its general policy as to contributions, and its standard of literary merit Second, the few writers and those in terested in writing must be encour aged to strive in creative writing, or the policy of "back to the campus" will fail miserably. There are dozens of students who have genuine talent, and with a little application could pro duce work superior to many on the staff, but various causes such as in difference and the belief that the Magazine was a closed circle to those on ther "outside", have' prevented these men from achieving prominence in this field. , The staff wants to plan & Magazine which will be read. Is sensationalism the only means to this end? Is sex the only topic upon which college men can write with genuine art and cleverness? Is it not reasonable to I believe that if numbers of new writers could be encouraged here, the general intrest in the Magazine would in crease? If the Magazine were hot so "high-brow," and its "attitude" were a bit more natural and human, would it be more popular among the stu dents, its publishers? If the Magazine were not so intellectual and exclusive, would the students contribute more, read more and take a more general interest in it? These are a few of the questions that the staff is considering. It feels that if it can prepare a Mag azine with a "change of pace," with variety in subject matterj composition, and point of view, and some writing of the lighter, cleverer sort neatly veiled satires, well-written light verse, etc. that the Magazine might to some extent cease to be a stranger to Carolina, that it might better convey the atmosphere of our campus, which is, at its best, a feeling of healthy in tellectuality. If it is necessary to make parts of the Magazine reminis cent of the Buccaneer1, if it is neces sary to accept material which, judged by some standards is inferior to the conventional Magazine copy, if it is necessary to labor earnestly and dili gently to give you your Magazine, the staff is willing to do it. , The Magazine should no longer drag along in its hybrid character. If We are incapable of producing a genu ine Carolina magazine,! we should abol ish the Carolina Magazine. It is a question for the students to decide. The staff would like to see the stu dent body flood It with contributions; it is your magazine. We can do very little more than arrange and conduct it; the students-must make it Our Thursday night the University Band elected officers for the coming year and adopted a formal constitution. The officers elected were as follows: C. H. White, Jr., president; W. D. Whitaker, vice-president; and B. H. Marshall, secretary (Reelected). . At this time the office of "Librarian" was made, but the election of this officer was postponed until next fall. The formal constitution for the or ganization was adopted and the clause providing for a manager was altered, making the office one filled by appoint ment by the band director at the be ginning-of each school year. Thursday night the organization al so adopted an awards system simi lar to the one practiced by the Glee Club. These awards will be given to men having served in the band for three years and passing qualifications set by an Awards Committee, made up of the officers and two additional men chosen by the band each year. These awards will be given at formal Awards Night program early each spring. The band this year has been proclaimed the best ever by all who have heard it, and by this sys tern of awards- the music department hopes to keep up the high quality of work done by the organization, and at the same .time reward the indi viduals for their work. BUCCANEER CALLS FOR NEW TALENT Ship in Port and Needs New Crew; Meeting of Scribes and Map-Makers Tonight. Romance Language Department Issues Spanish News-Letter The Spanish section of the Deoart- ment of Romance lancruaees. with the cooperation of the University Exten sion division, has entered a new field, namely publications. They recently mailed out a news letter to all the Spanish teachers of the state, con taining information that is of especial interest to Spanish students and teachers. i Beginning next year there will be a monthly newspaper printed, to be mailed out on the first of each month for the first eight months. .The pur pose of the paper is to create a great er interest in the study of Spanish and Spanish literature. The copy recently mailed went to seventy-five teachers, and the circula tion will probably increase during the coming year. The paper is free to all Spanish students of the University and to teachers, but it is fifty cents to every one else. The first edition of the series has re ceived favorable comment from both inside the state and from people out side the state and markes a step to wards a fuller appreciation of the Spanish language. ; ' Mrs. Paul Green came back Sunday from a visit to -New York. :.;.'.: M.M-,,..,.. - ... -, WHAT'S HAPPENING " TODAY ; ; 2:30 p. m.

THE VELVET KIND ICE CREAM - Sold Exclusively by ' SUTTON & ALDERMAN The Buccaneer has put into port and is waiting for the new crew to overhaul her rigging and polish her decks. From all .appearances, the frigate is going to be a fast one next year and the captain wants to sign up a crew that will be able to handle her. ' ; At present, she is moored at dock in the basement of alumni, calmly a waiting her initial voyage next year. The crew is sadly lacking and it is imperative that new men be added to the ship's roster for without an ade quate crew, the humorous old boat can not sail properly. She. needs scribes and map-makers. Any one who has ever written a log or sailed a pen-and-ink sketch is earnestly re quested to hang around and enlist on the proper date. , : The captain has set as time for en listment tonight Everyone who wishes to sail on the Buccaneer next year must be present at this date to sign up. The books open at 8:30 o'clock tonight in the basement of alumni. , ' Next year, the Buccaneer will visit all ports in existence and a few more that have not yet been discovered, con sequently it will take an exceptionally good crew to handle her good men to keep the log and good men? to chart her. It has been rumored that there are quite a few bold, bad, buccaneers on the campus and now comes the chance for them to sign up with a real pirate ship where they may swing their cutlasses with as much vim as they possess and reap such rewards as the Buccaneer is able to capture. This year, the Buccaneer has been handicapped by the absence of a pri vate port but next year promises one all her own. Then the crew can sing as in the days of old "Fifteen puns on a galley sheet, Yo Ho Ho! And a page of copy!" A new course has been laid for the old ship and if there are no storms, everything points to ward a glorious eight months sail. Remember to enlist in the hold of the Buccaneer in the basement of alumni, 8:30 tonight Get a ride on the only humorous ship in the state. Join the army, see the world on foot join the Buccaneer and Bee the world from a crow's nest Ahoy, me laddies ! Join the crew. 1 At the Bull's Head Get your .-- QUIZ BOOKS SUTTON & ALDERMAN'S Three months experience in buying and selling books has led The Book keeper to form certain conclusions that may be of interest He finds, f or instance: - ' That Southern students care noth ing about books by Southern writers and usually avoid them. That students at Carolina have lit. tie exploratory zeal, and instead of browsing among new titles prefer to read books they already know. That students read novels and do not buy them. . That you can sell any book classi fied as "hot stuff'' about sex or reli gion. That drama does not 'sell and that poetry does, but only standard poetry. That the price of a book makes little difference, except that 75c re prints do not sell. y That students care nothing about the prose "classics." That students are thoroughly hon est when you don't talk about the honor system. v , That students are careful of books, considerate of the rights of others, and appreciative of The Bull's Head Bookshop. . That nobody wants to" be advised as to what to read unless he asks for ad vice. That women, suffer from a vague fear that in coming to The Bull's Head Bookshop they are intruding on some mysterious masculine province. That the Modern Library sells bet ter than anything else because it is "modern." , , That readers care very little about progress in science and less about his tory, social thought, or politics. That books on or about art do not sell except to Edgar Wind. That George McKie is our best customer. ' That most members of the faculty have a vague idea that The Bull's Head Bookshop is a student reading room. Thi Book-keeper. DR. R. R.
