Gradu ates of University are in many places; many are with highway, department. Which leads us to wonder the , color and style of the grads' clothes. North Carolina, holding many and numerous "firsts," is getting more . - . . I norts fewer mamasres and increased .. Add to Recallers: Auburn stu dents, tiring of their present prexy, have annealed to the Governor of Alabama to remove Dr. Dowell from R ' . I Anyhow it's going to be interesting j to see Jjust. howimany will bolt, the cart v if Al Smith, receives the Demo-1 cratic nomination for the Presidency. There is, a Cheerio Squad modeled along the lines of the, original here. Suggests , that the Extension Division should give an extension class with Carolina Cheerleaders as instructors. Max Gardner, candidate, refuses to attend a tobacco meeting held in Winston-Salem that will ; protest present low prices because he ' is ' "a cotton farmer and knows , nothing a- bout tobacco." ""f ."""f? we credit the "next Governor" with being a politician. . If the meaning of these paragraphs is ' the least bit in the dark; we set j up the alibi that some vandal has snitched 'the electric bulb over the typewriter. ;" " RIDE BUMMERS SHOULD SHOW SOME COURTESY : The charge, that ride-begging by students has become a nuisance is part true and should be met with remedial action at once. This prac- i tice, which has become enormous in extent, can be overdone and abused as well as. any other human activity. ' Members of the University facul ty and townspeople,, who treat the situation with , fairness and in a sportsmanlike manner, deny that any , outrageous conduct can be charged a gainst students bumming rides out; of town. However, they, do accuse these ride-beggers of lack of common cour tesy and creating a nuisance at times - by the methods they use in . attempt ing to secure free rides. This from one prominent member of the Uni versity faculty: :": "Personally, as most of the boys know, I rather enjoy having them ride with me, and always wave good naturedly my direction back into the campus when I am not going out of town. . " "This experience happened , to me the other day. At the turning point at the post office, where there is heavy traffic, a group of boys stood out half way in the middle of the street, where cars must turn around the blinker, inter-sectional street, center light. This : forced me to drive far inside, and, therefore, I was unable to make my turn. This in turn forced me to' back 1 and delay trafSc coming from the oth er direction, and since it was unex- pected I almost ran into another car. The boys saw this 'and laughed at it and kept standing there wtaie ctner cars were forced to turn around. . Now, this was not necessary, be cause they could have moved down ten or twenty feet and. kept their same position in' the street. - It is this thoughtless action of a few students that causes the trouble just as a few students can cut across the cam- pU3 an gjve a reputation to the rest v. y , To one who frequents the down town streets this charge runs true to facts many times during the day when students are soliciting rides out of town. Traffic has been, and is being obstructed ; injury to property is made liable to an unnecessary degree;, and lives are endangered. The simple conclusion deduced is, that if men , , ., . , , - nc - Vin Vic Tirloa arp Tint. "Wlllmfr tn fin. I.. 1W .SV.

THE W, C. T. U. MEETS LAMBASTS AND Over in. Raleigh during the middle part of this week the uplift organ! zations have been in session. "The major topic of discussion and the subject of their diatribes are probab ly "well known. It was the "wets" and any potential presidential candidates who can" not be classified as bone drys. ' " .

This extract was taken from an address o Dr. Marv Harris Armor, of Tate, da national director of evangelism of the W. C. T U. Dr. Armor was in "Charlotte Mon day on her way to Raleigh. This from her there: "No self-respecting southerner can afford to vote for Al Smith. He is a traitor to our coun try and to our Christ!" . Prohibition, or not, such as this is neither necessary nor conducive to wards the enforcement of the prohi bition act. In the long run the candi dacy of Alfred E. Smith is aided and given a new impetus by . such charges and statements. . We rather wish that Dr. Armor had remained at home this week! OPEN FORUM MOTORISTS' ETTIQUETTE Dear Editor :- I was reading this morning in the Tar Heel of the students disgraceful methods concerning bumming. I my self do a good deal of bumming, and I have 'never seen any of these dis graceful acts put in practise. . I do not wish to defend' the students in' this matter, but if this is being done the motorists are, sometimes to blame. Some motorists that are ask ed for. a ride 'will tell you walking isn't crowded. Others will tell you li your tired walking try running awhile. : Some will stop their : cars about half a block up the "street from where they are hailed, , and tell you to come on. - When. you. get there they drive off and give you the merry, ha ! ha! This sometimes makes a per son feel like ? thumbing, their nose or using profane language. I do not say this of all motorists, as the majority of them are real nice - and . glad .to give a student a lift if they are going in that direction. There are, however, some few of these wise cracking motorists, who put in practise the above things mentioned. I jnyself see no harm in a student bumming. to town or. back, if , it. is done in a polite manner. I also think as there should be bummers etiquette, there should also be drivers etiquette. Yours 'truly- - - - A PERPETUAL BUMMER CLIPPED WHY NOT MAKE THE UNIVER SITY A COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS? Is there a suggestion in announce ment of the University that has se cured courses of study in archaeology and the Hellenic Arts under the di rection of Dr. J. P. Harland? It is stated tnat tnese experimental courses may lead to the establishment of a School of Fine Arts. Public interest in such an innovation must in the nature of things be tepid, until we know whether a change of policy is indicated. . The University now has something like three thousand students. Some thing like -a. thousand - of them are freshmen. Most of the freshmen will get a.' sufficiency of the University in a year or- less. The next Sopho more class will not number five hun dred. The Junior class will be severe ly depleted. Perhaps a fourth of the thousand freshmen will - CTaduate. Here is a . distinct waste. ; - The University has grown beyond all reasonable ambitions held concern ing it when it offered about the only chance that an ambitious youth could entertain of getting something in the way of a higher education. It is now, with its different schools and depart ments and essays into technical educa tion, something in the nature of a University in the old sense; and yet far from it. To make it a University two or three things would be neces sary. . It would first have to have more millions of dollars than are now discernible. It would, second, have to cut off its freshman class at the knees by raising its standards. If it is to: become a University with a free pas-, sage, to all knowledge in the way of science, economics, social study, . plus' erudition, it needs a Rockefeller as a patron. , , Even, with a , , Rockefeller backer, . it will, have to economize on the freshman strain. It is a growing certainty that the University is using' up professorial power ; much in the manner an which a prize-fighter, beats a bag. The bag is the freshman class, which absorbe a little punishment and then quits. But we must pay for the energy of the professors. V There is no "possible doubt that the University has been so successful that it has been over-patronized. It has progressed beyond anything dreamed of it a few. years ago. It cannot go on and on in its effort: to get a mi gration of so-called students to Chapel Hill.' That business was started by Doctor Winston, who saw that if 'the University were to survive, it would have to be popularized by alumni from every county. Probably, he made the University of the modern day; .that the thing is being swamped by undue development of his efforts. The Uni versity , does not need more courses, but fewer; it does not need more stu dents. It needs to discourage, so. far as possible, the hopeful, but essentially hopeless, influx of misguided youth. A University of fine arts, a place of really higher culture, a State in stitution where students, would come only when they were accredited for what. they would be expected to do, might prove a solution to a situation that now appears insoluble. In this there is no, suggestion of taking away any opportunity from anybody. State College should afford everything of a technical and practical nature that any merely collegiate-minded boy could reasonably want. Certainly there should be no competition be tween the University and State in the way of technical' schools.- The University as a College of Fine Arts could meet its destiny and, for. a few years, worry along and support it. The Raleigh Times. Mrs. Stacy Hostess to Co-eds Mrs. Marvin Stacey entertained the women students of the University at an afternoon tea Thursday after noon from four-thirty to s& o'clock at her home on Rosemary street. Beautiful fall flowers and cut roses in the soft glow of tall candles made the living room , doubly attractive. Mrs. Irene Lee presided at the tea fable, and 'the hostess herself served sandwiches . and mints to the guests. Mrs, Stacey ; plans to be at home to the girls every Thursday afternoon at this hour, and hopes through this means t4 ome to know better the students who are under her supervision. r-rr VOCAUGN BUREAU WIILSTRIYEOR GRMTEMERVIGE With JoKnson at Head Office Is Planning Wide Program Of Activities. The Bureau of Vocational Informa tion, which is operated in connection with the office of the Dean of Stu dents, will make an effort this year to be of even greater service to uni versity, students than it has been in the past. This Bureau attempts . to aid the student in selecting the vocation for which he is best adapted. After his graduation, it tries to assist him in finding a suitable position in the field of his choice. , , , In order to aid the student in his selection, the Bureau gathers "infor mation concerning ; the requirements, advantages and opportunities in the various fields of business and in the professions. - This . information is kept in its office and is always avail able to any student. Also, a large number of . books dealing with the various occupations are placed on a special . shelf, in the . library, conspicur ously and appropriately labeled. , Later on in the' year discussion groups will be organized. In this way, the students . interested . in each particular vocation , will be . brought together to discuss their prospective vocation. Prominent men in . the state will be invited over at different times .during the year and each one will address the group especially in terested in the field in which he is an expert.. Most of .these speakers will probably be .alumni of the university .who have made a success by solving problems similar to the one with which these: students will.be faced in the future. Thus it is hoped that some of the problems involved in the transi tion from college to real life . will be brought to the attention of the stu dents. . . . In the Bureau's work last year em phasis was placed on collecting in formation on "selling", the university graduate to business, industry, and to the professions. This 'year emphasis will be placed on helping the student solve his vocational, problem. V ', From time to time throughout the year articles dealing with vocational problems will appear in the Tar Heel and , Carolina Magazinel ;. The Bureau invites any student with, a vocational problem to come by its office, 204 South, for information on the subject or for a talk with the director, Henry Johnston, Jr. STUDENT BIBLE CLASSES At the Chapel of the Cross - , Student Bible Class . led by, Andy Milstead.

Special music has been arrangeed for the occasion, and, the group will also have the privilege of hearing short talks by the officers of the church and the Bap tist Young People's Union.. Speak-Easy Found By Staff Reporter Turns Out To Be Bat a Other Days. Relic of Yesterday a Tar Heel reporter was rummaging in a file in the new of fice in search of" a magazine when he pulled up a batterer yard-stick. The ruler bore this inscription: ."With this stick you can measure the dis tance to T. H-SCOGGIN'S PALACE SALOON, No. 124 Cor. Mangum and Peabody Sts., Durham N. C. FINE WINES AND WHISKIES." The re porter was undecided about the ad dress, which. might be, he thought, the site of an .extremely palatial speak easy. But at this address there now stands a very imposing church. . The reporter asked several old men about Mr. , Scoggin's Palace , Saloon, but it has been forgotten. The yard stick is made of r white pine, and it is "yellowed and warped with age, but the inscription emblazoned on its -side recalls a lost and better time. Nat!
