Saturday, Noyemtr 5, 1927 PARAGRAPHIC The dark threat: "Carolina May Throw Full Strength into Battle with Cadets." - Freshmen nominate for class of ficials let the ' poor f rosh be warned now that he will be an important in dividual until the election is over. Bishop Mouzon lows that the "Meth o'dist church is more democratic than our government.' But the bishop fail ed to mention how democratic the good Methodists would be were Al . Smith nominated f ot nresidenL j Chicago man shoots his 61-year-old wife for applying ' cosmetics, from which we conclude that he must have ;read about "vanity of -vanities." The statement that there are too many 'foxes in Craven -county for good hunting will be 'filed with the one concerning the superfluity of rab bits in Chatham county. Ruth Elder doesn't want to be con sidered "just a brainless flapper." Other than being a "woman flyer," "Carolina Disturbances Move into New Jersey," so reads the headline of a story no, you missed, it about a coastal storm, and not over Al Smith's nomination. Duke university discovers that "Co eds are stronger after gym work." But they don't" say how to get rid of 'em. ASiae irom doing the unusual of playing a grid game in the morning, the general opinion is that it wouldn't hurtor Carolina to break the pre cedent of the season today at Lexing ton. ' , .. .. CANDY LIFTING IS WORST FORM OF PETTY THIEVING Numerous reports from men operat ing self-help honor-boxes on the cam pus have led to the belief that this formjf violation 'of the honor system is most flagrant this term because of the continual heavy loss of goods suf fered by the owners of the boxes. One owner reports that from six dol lars worth of candy put in his boxes for sale, his cash box 4 showed $3.80, which, calculating from the average price of five-cent candies at whole sale prices, means that the box-owner lost, 20 cents in money, his time, and trouble. Other heavy losses have been reported by box operators. The primary object in the box op erators placing candy on sale and leaving the matter of honestly settling for each purchase to the buyer is, of course, personal profit to the owner. These box operators are a- sort of entrepreneur: they risk their capital, time and labor. A fair return on the investment and labor is due them from their venture. And.the presence of an honor box in a dormitory goes beyond being a mere lure for one to spend money. Itls a convenience, a. service, tkat the operator is providing for those students who want and feel a desire for the wares offered in the box. The honor boxes are time-savers. They often furnish the proper sweets or fruits to satisfy a persistent hun ger and at the same time reduce to a minimum the lost of time necessary for procuring such. . The Tar Heel is cognizant of the fact that we have the honor' system here. ' It should be practiced with painstaking conscientiousness on every occasion. But often it isn't. If he (the Tar Heel piously prays that this stealing" is not done by stu dents) -who would persist in filching and satisfying his sweet tooch at the expense of ' the honor box operator, would be sufficiently considerate of the common rules of fair play, the pilfer ing" of honor boxes would cease. Give the operator a fair play: he provided something for, your convenience and now will you destroy this convenience by failure to play up to your park of the game? The chap who purloins ' candy and fruits for sale at a nickel each, like the rascal who would steal the beg gar's pennies, is the most despicable and heinous of thieves ! SCANDAL IN THE DIALECTIC - SENATE S (D. D. C.) If certain intelligent members, are truthful, the Dialectic Senate ha.s come to the .rescue of a bored campus by committing an amusing, but col ossal, blunder " -The senators, bless their he?irts, have a peculiar aptitude for .blunders. Furthermore, they" ae always amus ing and colossal. ' This is the latest from the boy orators: Last Tuesday evening, eight innocent students appeared at - the portals of the ill-used hall and re quested admission to the society. In accordance with an extortion scheme devised by one wily senator, these new men were compelled to pay five dol lars in advance. (Last year the fee was five dollars with credit.) In or der to give this fleecing some- sem blance of fairness, the senators al lowed the neophytes to recite the ritual, takethe oath, and sign the honored roll of membership. Then rose the bloodiest.bulls. They bellowed for the paddling which this so-called literary society inflicts up on its new members. The newly sworn men were sent from the room while the senators debated the ethics of paddling members already ritual ized and fully vested with the dignity of the Dialectic Senate no small dig nity, we assure you. In the past) ap plicants had been beaten, then admit ted to ritual membership. But here the flabbergasted .senators were deal ing with freshly sworn brothers who knew all the mystics of the Senate; could these new but full-fledged mem bers be so humiliated? The crafty president suggested that the eight men were not really mem bers, but only pledges. Therefore.,. they could be paddled yea, even un to death. Fees paid, ritual recited, oath taken, mystics seen, books sign ed ah, but these pledges of the Dialectic Senate were precocious pledges! After the senators had told the eiht innocents that "pledges" could not be members until they had under gone a severe drubbing at the next meeting, they turned to debating. Now this was utterly unwarranted in discretion. For it is well known that Di senators are insufferable speakers. Their assembly is an incubator' for two-penny politicians, not for orators. But they speechified. They, sweat ed over the idea of encouraging the City Council to discourage student hoboing. Eventually they voted to discourage the Council from discour aging this tumble evil. Next they wanted to put a ban on transatlantic flying. The formerly wily, senator, now alarmed at the Senate's complete jurisdiction over land, sea, and air, made the best move'of the evening, moving for adjournment. After the ball was over, three of four of the eight innocents, reflect ing on the humiliation" which they were to suffer at the next meeting, decided that they weren't so anxious to join this lodge after all. The presi dent of the Senate, cornered and be labored, told the back-sliders that they might seej the treasurer and get bacE- their five dollars: Better no members at all than unpadded mem bers, horn-swoggle it. Some of the "pledges" have with drawn, or will. (How precocious those lads really are!) But the others are in for a genuine spanking. After all, though, the Di" Senate is not pursuing men's eloquence so much a3 it is their tender meat. ; Cannibals! ; " Education Staff at Raleigh Practically all members the staff of the School of Education will be in attendance at the meeting of ' the fifth Educational District of the North Carolina system at Raleigh on Nov ember 4 and 5, Professor Yalker an nounces. . - " .' i A PROPER UNIVERSITY FUNCTION , An open letter to President Chase from Charles T. Ross of Winston-Salem, published, in the Greensboro News yesterday, protests against the holding "of a cost-of-living' con ference at the University. . "Since when," asks Mr. RossX-lhas our state University - become a political food pad for politicians? . . . It is out of. place for our state University to j foster such political meetings as was held under the disguise of 'Discussion of Living Costs.' . . . I wish to register my protest to such political meetings under the auspices of the University except that the public be given an opportunity to hear both sides." Mr. Ross says he writes "as a former student of the University and as a tax payer of North Caro lina." If the alumnus didn't learn from his attendance as" a student here that such questions as this were a proper subject for study at a univer sity, he didn't learn much. A univer sity, especially a state university, performs no more appropriate func tion than to encourage meetings for the 1 study of the pressing economic problems of the day. Chapel Hill Weekly. ' ... UNIVERSITY STILL IS CHAMPION IN REALM OF SONG AND DANCE State College handsomely trounced the University eleven in Raleigh on Saturday. State backs'ran rings a round the White and Blue . defense. State passes sent the ball to wait ing arms with deadly accuracy. State tacklers nipped offensive rushes in the very bud. State's alert defense leaped into the 'air and intercepted and pulled down aerial essays of their opponents. State's team made the aggregation from Chapel Hill look very, very puny and ineffective. But let us do the University justice. In one department of college sport it remains supreme. Nowhere in this broad land of ours does the cheer leading and student vaudeville busi ness gain such proportions. The band played; the massed students sang; stunt .followed stunt; the edu cated chorus men formed and reform ed and made stage pictures with all the facility of the old-fashioned pony ballet. Sometimes it was like an an cient Night in Jack's.., Confetti and baloons. Hollywood's conception of a riotous event. State was nowhere with the ballyhoo; it was absorbed with the, mere game! The truth is that the University of late years has been playing execrable football. For this there is no rhyme or real reason. There is at Chapel Hill a splendid student body. There is money for coaches. There is an athletic system that makes a pros pectus of the prettiest sort imagin able. Yet, somehow, thev dash has gone out of the legs of the half-backs. The kickers miss their holds. The runners are butter-fingered. Some thing, radically, is the matter. But the cheerio boys are going strong. They are amusing cusses. They invent, and when they have in vented they execute. For some rea son, the glee club, the band, the vaudevillians seem to be much better taught than the boys who are in the middle of the gridiron, and for whose inspiration, theoretically, all this Lulu stuff is staged. The University loses games with monotonous regularity. But it holds firmly to its championship in song, its Delsartian preeminence, its knowl edge of Swedish calesthenics in the student body. The Raleigh Times. Engineering School Has New Generator Machinery Installed Is Unit of Plan ned System of Expansion. . The mechanical Engineering depart ment has received a 25 kilowatt 250 vojt direct current General Electric turbo-generator set for use in the steam and gas laboratory, Professor E. G. Hoef er announces. The turbine has two pressure - stages, each of which is divided into , two velocity stages, thus providing an example of the principle of compounding in steam turbines. " - "The unit will be operated by stu dents as part of their regular labora tory work. . The department is now negotiating -for the purchase of a sur face condenser to serve, both the tur bine and the .uniflow engine installed last year. Tliis. arrangement . will make possible a large number of ex periments under a wide range of con ditions. Beside its use as a laboratory equipment, the 'set will be used as a source of a 250 swatt direct 'current for the department of Electrical En gineering. The installment of this turbo-generator unit is a part of a develop ment definitely planned for the im mediate future. The next unit to be CLIPPED GROVES URGES A JEW HOME TYPE Sociology Prof Tells New York Conference Family Life " Is Changing. The old-fashioned family will never return, and in its place there must be a home adequate, to meet the .de mands of our changed manner, of liv ing or civilization cannot prosper, Dr. Ernest R. Groves, Research Profes sor "of Sociology here, declared Wed nesday in an address before .the Con- j f erence on Parent Education being held by the Child Study Association of America at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York. Educational training in the duties of parenthood is necessary under pres ent conditions, Dr. Groves said, "that j family values may not be smothered jby the superficial pleasure-seeking of ( those who marry. ' "It Js not the home in which the ! mother is a good cook and the -father a good provider ,but the one where comradeship between parent and child' exists, that points the way to a satisfying- family life in the midst of our .changing social and economig,con ditions," the speaker asserted. Other speakers included Mrs. How ard S. Gans, president of Child Study Association of America; Dr. William E. Russell, dean of Teachers' College, Columbia University; Mr. Porter R. Lee, director of New York School of Social Work; Dr. Harry D. Kitson, professor of education, Teachers Col lege, Columbia University; Mrs. G' ford Pinchot; Dr. Frederick V. Rob inson, president of the College of the City of New York. Family Changing Tracing the changing social arid eco nomic functions of the home, Dr. Groves said . that nothing in modern life is changing more than the fam ily. "It is not disappearing," he de clared, "but many of" its duties and much of its old-time satisfactions are already gone and more are passing. "The characteristic modern family is at last inside the pleasure vortex of modern life. The family has been slow to pass out from tradition into the testing all human institutions are now getting on the pleasure level of life. Its ideals are still largely col ored by tradition but its practices are chiefly dominated by motives of pleas ure. "When the family was automatic ally maintained by the ordinary ac tivities of the home, its values took care of themselves. Family life was developed by its social necessity and economic advantage. Now the family is meeting with the competition from other sources "of pleasure that leads some people to question its satisfac tions and many more to surrender family duties once taken as a matter of course. It is no longer an eco nomic unit but the meeting place of as many individual interests as each family has members. Once it pro duced; now it chiefly "consumes. "The family of the past was sup ported by social routine. In these days it requires special attention and needs the help of education. Training is necessary." Ample Facilities for Cleaning Athletes in New Field House y - In no institution of higher learning anywhere, in this or any other-country, have better facilities been pro vided for cleaning the athletic war riors than ar,g found in the field house at the South end of the new Kenan stadium. j The hot water tank in the basement holds 1,500 gallons. It is equipped with a thermostatic device that shuts the heat off when'the water reaches a temperature of 180 degrees and then turns the heat on again as soon as the water begins to get cooler. Phy sicians and other students of how hot water should be, when pouring from a shower bath on a human body, have determined that 180 degrees is the lim it of safety. " Beyond that there is danger of scalding. , The building contains 14Q lockers, part of which, will be at the disposal f visiting teams. A few inches above the lockers runs a coil of hot water pipes. These are for drying purpos es. Uniforms may be. laid upon them, and the space just below them is for shoes, stockings, head-gears, and oth er smaller pieces of clothing - and armor. - - : Irl Summerlin, the Atwood-Nash heating expert, designed the layout of furnace, tank, and pipes, and has been supervising the installation. For weeks ' he has been toiling over his plans, to. make sure that our athletes shall be impeccably clean, warm, and dry. - - . added to the laboratory will prob ably be a high-powered automobile engine with an electric dynamometer.
