PARAGRAPHICS
For six days Chapel Hill had
a speed cop now that he hath
come and went' we can drive
with more ease.
An editorial expounding the
value of concentrative effort on
text books for the three remain
ing weeks of this term would be
in order, if our French profes
sor wouldn't accuse us of being
guilty of Pharisaical writings
"War Will Be Waged On Pet
ting In Alamance" headlines a
leading daily. Will Representa
tive Haywood of Montgomerybe
on the firing line?
"Union Labor Campaign To
Ee Put On In South" reads an
other headline. One wag, re
minds that the results of this
should be good for the Haynes
knitting company.
Another eastern politician an
nounces his candidacy for the
governorship on a platform of
free love and almost everything
free but lunch and liquor. ,
The time was when we were
admonished to "Keep Cool With
Coolidge," but how can any of
the many Republican presiden
tial prospects hope to keep even
within 110 degrees this August
when Cal goes and announces
that he doesn't "choose" to run
in 1928?
"Business Looks' Forward To
Fall With Optimism," headlines
the News and Observer. We
only hope that it is autumn that
they are. looking forward to.
Now is the time for all good
men to begin to compile their
statistics of the summer's amor
ous activities in order that they
may be read during the little
commencement exercises.
Finds American Students More
Serious Than Those in England
(Continued from page one)
are not up to the standard of the
American A. B. student. Every
first year man, no matter what
his standing, is called a fresh
man. ' After that they are all
seniors.
Another1 outstanding differ
ence, pointed out Mr. Wilson,
is that English students do a
great deal of their work during
vacation time. The regular col
lege year is divided into three
terms of eight weeks each, giv
ing a total of only twenty-four
weeks, the other twenty-eight
weeks being spent' in individual
work. Examinations are held
only at the end of the three or
four years, as the case may be,
required to complete the course.
No provision, aside from
Karl Jansen, the Swedish en
tertainer, appeared in Memorial
Hall Thursday night with a pro
gram of mixed seriousness and
humor that delighted holders of
the red season tickets to Univer
sity Summer Attractions. ,
Mr. Jansen has for the past
few years traveled Virginia and
the Carolinas more' intensely
than any other section of ; the
country, and the program that
he gave here was one that he had
especially adapted to an audi
ence of North Carolina teachers.
He has given his program in
thousands of the state high
schools and he knew just what
to say to North Carolina teach
ers that? would delight them.
His entertainment might be
said to cover a broad field in the
line of education and amuse
ment. He was equally admir
able in the delineation of
Shakespeare's King Richard III
and the small boy saying his
first piece in school. His happy
natural manner delighted, the
few children who were pleasant,
and his demonstration of exer
cises and physical culture made
a hit with the teachers.
A ready wit and sound com
mon sense made his entertain
ment entertaining. .
Mr. Jansen has visited the
University Summer School sev
eral times before and was by no
means a stranger to those who
have been coming here for a
number of years to take summer
work. Some of those who had
heard his programs before de
clare that the versatility ind ex
cellency displayed Thursday
night was typical of the Jansen
program, t .'

scholarships," explained Mr.
Wilson, "is made to assist stu
dents work their way through
college. There is no such thing
as self-help." ;
"Much less is made of varsity
teams," said Mr. Wilson, touch
ing on athletics, "but the aver
age man takes a more active part
in sports, and one who does not
participate in some form of ath
letics is regarded as 'queer.'
There is no organized cheering
at intercollegiate contests, and
very little enthusiasm is shown
in any of the varsity games ex
cept that against Cambridge."
"Ragging the players or of
ficials," added Mr. Wilson, "is
strictly American."
North Carolina has very few
representatives at Oxford, said
Mr., Wilson, in comparison with
other states. According to the
plan of the Rhodes' trustees
there are always two men from
each state in the Union at Ox
ford. Rhodes scholars 'from
North Carolina recently have in
cluded William Cocke, of Ashe
ville, and McDowell Richards, pf
Davidson. Ludwig Lauerhass,
of Asheville, although not a
Rhodes scholar, will enter Ox
ford next year. ,
