A GOOD CHOICE The announcement was made some several days ago., that the University Y . M. C. A, would 1j; host to about five or ix hundred boys at an older boys conference here during the Christ mas holidays. In the past these meetings, held an nually under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian' Associtiaon, have been in distrieta and m4t in several places over the atate. Aside from the obvious advantages of hav ing the young men meet at one place and at one time, it is Been that the plan offers a splendid opportunity for attending delegates to become ac quainted with the environment of an institution of higher learning and with their state university, These gatherings of young, men are held every year for the purpose of in spiring and instructing. With the rich tradition of service and the records of its Rons the University is a fitting place to come for inspiration. There is a bearing about the environs that is conducive to higher thoughts and inspires greater deeds. Moreover, it h$ veil for the young men, who will enter some college or university with in a' year or m, to come into personal contact with that which will confront them in the future. Then there is the opportunity to know the University, which is- as much theirs- as it is ours t because it is a state institution. , The University - will , welcome the ZjjtqpS&k v iz& &5er Icji jcczfssszcs i sribiai Vzzresx&y tcfs week cxi Tb witS: tbe k&ts.' fa-zz tht fz c5efLrt Art of Thirirr '.Xt'ij a.

FP.IE-N'DLY FACUITY MEMBER -2- i CLIPPED CAN WAIT A NEW GENERATION TO DOLL UP WITH CULTURE Dr. Edgar Knight of the Univer slty, the edtieaior who hates his too!?, is loose, again, this time In Charlotte, in denunciation of North Carolinians as a race of non-readers. ' He indulges in his csnal biting phrase and cliche "North Carolinians are not yet will ing to walk a rn lie for a book," and "when they are willing to walk a mile they will not have to do so, because the book will be brought to them." He goes on to aay that we have never had an adequate educational system and that, for nearly half of our schod population, "we are nOw a State of fourth -graders and for the State as a whole we are little better than -fifth graders." There follow the ustial Knight comparisons of the abysms.! ignorance and lack of culture of North Carolinian.?, as compared with mere favored citizens of The Middle West and Paciflc Coast States, to say noth ing of such culture as it to be found in the East. .. , Two things are suggested by these diatribes: What to read T And the relative value of reading and doing something else. These columns are lighted by no Literary Lantern, but they have sported for some time horn-rimmed bi-focals that might have been staved off by k-ss reading of a max 3 of stuff from which there remains but hereJ 2id there a grain of garnered wheat. From casual dippings and investiga tions, we take it as no disaster that North Carolinians are not too liberally patronizing bookstores, or even maga zines. Such reading as is being done along "Confession" lines is not, on the other hand, so evil as is assumed; the whole of it is more or less like the fizz-stuff of the soda fountain a time killer of which the only aftermath i.s a relieving eructation. Let North Carolinians work on for another generation; let them lay by more of wordly goods; let them de velop their practical genius, and Doc tor Knight will see in his old age all the culture he can digest. It really is. questionable in, our mind whether it 13 better for a poor man to read a book or live one. Certainly, he wastes time if he tries to write one. The Raleigh Times.

TkA Ft-ctsi Field import hie! h pet to tbe fore, woeld shake tha into life, that are being cam2y ig nored by the very men who 'aspire to the responsible leadership of An-erkan people. ' the: ; Ken are seeking the Presidential :; nomination as leaders if yoe please who, on these vital issnes, posftirely ref -se to lead cr to even think alrszvL This means as titter lack cf essential qualities; for if they have no ideas or plans they are not fit and if they have ii-eas they dare not ntter they are snt- They lack either mental capa city cr the sxoral qualities for hich the mass of the people are waiting and thns far in vain. Dr. Eztler describes the scene per - - fectly when he says cf these card;- dates that they "seek to creep np to of glittering generalities ani person al friendships." Eat, he asks: . What of the tabUie interest? What th. T.TfSrKirA r.A f-r-Yrhi problems that face the American people?" Who is discussing them ? Are we rot entitled to aik what may be the attitude ar.d purpose of these individuals toward the con stitutional, social, and moral problems raised by the Eighteenth Amendment and the legislation bailt upon it? Ot to-jrard the worM-de problem of the land ar.d'the dificult lot of the agriculturist in a world cf shifting econc-mfe emphasis in which he is ssr rounded by a huge industrial system which dominates the commercial and financial activities of the twentieth century? "Or toward the question- whose answer brooks no delay, as to inter national co-operation to establish, protect and preserve international peace1?" . . . These are not onl; vital questions they are THE vita! questions, and on these, aspirants for the Presidency are as silent as the sphinx. Is it be cause they are not interested ? Then they are unfit. Because they have no ideas? Then they are, incompe tent. Because they are too cowardly? Then let them stand aside for men of courage. Little wonder that oO per cent, of the people are too Cynical or indif ferent to vote when the issues that vitally concern millions, the success of our institutions and the good of society, are utterly ignored by the very men who aspire to the leader ship of the Nation. Let these candidates remove their muffler3 and. their rubber heels, and, like statesmen of the days when statesmen were leaders and thinkers, speak out and tell us where they stand On the Eighteenth Amendment. On the Farm problem. ' Qn international co-operation for peace. ' Then will the Presidential campaign mean a real debate to which the pub lic interest will respond. We commend' Dr. Butler's "Lost Art of Thinking" to both Presidential candidates and the peopled N York Evening World. : FOOTBALL ALTRUIST .From the New York World) Mr. Knute Rockne, in regard to the recent proposal " heard at Yale that coaches work for nothing, declares himself in favor of it. , Moveover, he offers himself as a candidate to try out this noble system. He will work for nothing, he says, as soon as col leges cease charging admissions at the gate. So that's that. We do not expect to hear any more about this proposal. Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Willis of Ra leigh, visited Miss Edith Averia Sun day. Mrs. Willis will be remembered here as Beatrice Averitte, who gradu ated here in Pharmacy in 1922.

" And Tragedy Previous to Saturday night we al ways thought that "Fixin's" was a tragedy not a comedy! What Saved the Night The saving grace of the three plays were the delightful back porch scenes- between Helen Dorteh as "Annie Lee" and,. Howard Bailey as "Lem" and the'eharacter of "Mr. Jim," the land lord in "Fixin's," as it was played by Hubert Heffner. Heaven be praised for those three! ' Always Room for Improvement . How strange it seems to walk on real sidewalks in Chapel Hill! The old familiar mudhole in front of Sut ton and Alderman's. and the Univer sity Cafeteria has at last given way to modern progress and paving, just as did the mud on Cameron Avenue. Well, every little bit helps, and may be some day even in the Chapel Hill weather will be improved ! A Change for the Better Along- wkh thes other improve ments we understand that progress is being made in the installation of the new telephone system, the "dial system" already in use in most cities. We trust that this dial system will at least be an improvement over, our present "trial system!" How Tactless ' Since Bliss Carman has come and gone we now have our own private opinion of poets. But why, we ask, did Prof Koch say to Bliss Carman: "Do'all poets have to.be freaks?" Meaning of Initials V. M. I. may indeed stand for -Virginia Military Institute, but last Sat urday there was a goodly number of . Carolina men who bemoaned the fact that those initials apparently stood for "Victorious Military Institute." And how about Davidson this next week-end? Wouldn't it be an excel lent and judging from past experi ences of the season an original idea to let D. C. mean "Defeated by Car olina?" We Ask You! - Applications Now in Order And now we hear that the Med School "zoo" has been well equipped with steam and electric lights, install ed for the comfort of the guests.
