A thinking machine with a mechan ical mind that can do mathematica problems has been invented by a New Englander. But there is little indi cation that one will be used here to aid Frosh in math 1 and 2. Press dispatch credits a Wisconsin man with holding public office for over fifty years, which leads us to wonder if the long-timer isn't a na tive North Carolinian and a Demo crat.

' ; , Seeing as how Rear Admiral Ma gruder has been relieved of his du ties of District Commander and called to Washington, it peers like the Ad miral is about to get his'n for talking out of schools President Hoke of Catawba eel siege advocates no participation in ' athletics for recipients of scholar ships. Come, now, Prexy, what would we do with scholarships if the boys who got them couldn't play on the team? Reports have it that "State is in high spirits" for homecoming day this Saturday when the State and Caro lina elevens meet in Raleigh. Spirits better , not be too high, or some eco nomical homecomer will 'not be' so high-spirited. With 718 claimants of kinship try ing to get a seat at the counter for distributing $2,000,000 left to his mis cellaneous kin by James B. Duke, the 500 odd clamering heirs of the fifty million dollar Mark f Hopkins estate are relegated to the back seat: PRESIDENT HOKE HAS A PLAN The ruling in regard to inter-collegiate athletics, advocated by Pres ident Elmer R. Hoke of Catawba col lege in ,an address before the North Carolina College conference in Dur ham, Tuesday, leads one to conclude that the speaker is guilty of associ ating with disgruntled grid fans and alumni, and attending meetings of the ladies up'lift society. The Catawba President woutd not let any self-help student or holder- of a scholarship participate ., in inter collegiate athletics in any form or na ture. It is evident that the recom mendation Is, per se, , aimed aV what is thought to be prevalent, in collegiate" 1 athletic circles. That is, professional- ism. This proposition of inviting, en couraging sind bribing athletics of prowess to -attend an institution by means of - enumeration is not new. The accusing finger has been jointed at Lhi3 or that institution ever since emphasis has been laid on victory in inter-collegiate athletics. Some think the situation deplorable; they sit up late at night to frown, decry and ef fect remedies for the sad state of affairs. Others take the matter for granted, a smile and a smirk is all you can wrench from them: Yet ethers chuckle and cough up the dough that perpetuates and perpetrates the practice. But the condition of pro fessionalism in the colleges and uni versities in this state is neither de plorable or bad. This, it must not be thought, is. not the opinion of one familiar with the inside of how ath- etes for North Carolina colleges are secured. For the most part there is ittle "securance." In other words, we place little credence in the feel ing that the collegiate athletic teams of the state are hosts to mercenary performers. There may be some of these, but the burden of proof of their presence on a team, or teams, is left to him who. would prefer the charge. . Nor is it proven beyond the-shadow of a doubt that all scholarship hold ers and self-help students are mem bers of the various athletic teams. We invite President Hoke to survey the situation here, where only a small percentage of self-help men and schol arship recipients are athletes. Grant ing there is professionalism in a mild way in collegiate athletics, Dr. Hoke's advocated remedy would not cure the evil. Enterprising alumni and am bitious coaches would merely have to change their tactics if the Doctor's plan were put" into operation. ' Consider the number of self-help men who come to college to receive therefrom; all the institution has to offer. If he has "time to participate in inter-collegiate athletics, he (the self-help man and the scholarship holder alike) has as much right to play as any one else. There are a sufficient number of such cases that could be cited where a ruling of 'no participation' would do a grave in justice to self-help men. Dr. Hoke's plan, savoring of the suspicious, suspecting pedant's cure of a grossly exaggerated and magnified situation that hardly exists, would neither remedy or help the situation! A FOOTBALL CONFLICT SHOULD NOT BE THAT While Carolina and State are play ing football on Riddick field in Ra leigh, Saturday afternoon, Duke and Wake Forest will be pitted against each other on Gore field, at Wake Forest, some dozen or more miles from the Capital City. In other wrds, two games between-teams of the big five and of championship calibre will be simultaneously within a short distance of each other. . -As the Tar Heel goes to press the announcement is made that the Duke officials have declined to change the date of the Duke-Wake Forest game at the behest of the executive com mittee of the Raleigh chamber of com merce. In regard to this we have nothing to say. It is Duke's and Wake Forest's game. Their officials have the right to say when and where it will be played. However, "football games being for the general public and more especially for the students and alumni of the institutions in volved, we arise to state that it is exceedingly regrettable that these two games of first import should be played at the same time, on the same day. There will be alumni and football fans of all four institutions who want to , see both games. Even students of the institutions playing in Raleigh will want to see the game in Wake Forest. There you are. It is a con flict in the big five schedule that should have been ayoided before now by the simple expedient of coopera tion. To whom, the blame can be at tributed, we do not know. " This conflict in games of the big five , should be avoided in the best in terest of collegiate f potball in the state next year when the institutions work out the schedules. NICKEL FOOTBALL IS NEWEST GAME Since the nickel shooting ranges have lost all their popularity, Dean Paulsen has installed at the Smoke Shop a new nickel snatcher in the guise of the exceedingly favorite me chanical football erame. which has been holding its crowd of spectators and players every day since being in troduced. The whole ailiir is in a 'glass cage and is operated from without by handles at each end. Turning a han dle makes all the players on one team kick except the goal keeper, who is moved across in front of the goal at each turn. The floor is so arranged that the ball never stops anywhere on it but right at the foot of one of the players. o Jcj jL IL.2L kx- -I- O W SEEPING! 1 By Andy Anderson , The Magazine review in Saturday's Tak Heel was not a3 good as it should have been- It should have been worse. Editor Gardner lives up to both his names. ' The literatary campus seems to be on. a strike. . But the trashman can't choose his garbage. .

Talk of Series. Stating that the best way to carry on our University - traditions js to know in, a simple way what those tra ditions are, Prof. Frank Graham, of the History Department, temporarily concluded the series of lectures xn University tradition, in Memorial Hall, Monday morning. Prof. Graham's lecture dealt with traditions with which first year men at Carolina are unfamiliar, beginning with the man who started the move ment against hazing. He dwelt es pecially upon the present tradition of the Honor System, and related one or two anecdotes that illustrated the workings of this system. Due to the illness of Prof. Horace Williams, who was-to have delivered the next talk, the remainder of the series has been postponed until a later date Miss Henrietta Underwood spent the week-end with her family in Ashe boro.
