"Is To Drive Automobile Blind folded," headlines the favorite tri weekly. Imitating half the drivers on the road, we suppose. Publius writ a letter and said "ig norance is the enemy of a constitu tion." We note that the Di-Phi ses sion voted the proposition Town. The papers say that Knight and Trabue are working on education in other states. And we thought that there was so much ignorance here at home. "Christmas Cheer Body Holds Meeting," headlines a daily. Well, now, it seems that this Christmas Cheer group ought to be looked into by someone. "Talk Increases as Congressmen Get Acclimated," runs another head line. Opinion was that those Con gressmen didn't have to be "acclimat ed" to wind jam. Lindbergh plans to make flight from Washington to Mexico City, Probably going to get first-hand in formation on how Mexican presiden tial elections are conducted. Local theatre has "Les Miserables" scheduled for a showing the first of next week. With examinations be ginning Friday It looks like a mis erable week. " One thing we are expecting: Ad Warren had better live up to his re putation and K. O. Lou Carpenter in Durham Tuesday night. TO ARMS, COUNTY CLUBS 'nnK;n i t . 1 i cuiuing nonaays an un usual opportunity is presented to every county club to be a real ser vice to the University by giving an alumni-student banquet or dinner. For a number of years it has been the custom in many towns through out the state for the local alumni as sociation and returning students to be host to the high school male sen iors in the community. This enter tainment serves to revive the loyal ty of the alumni, bring the students and" alumni into more close contact and cooperation, and to give the high school seniors information concern ing the University. These affairs have forwarded the interest of Car olina in an appreciable manner. ' There are a number of active coun ty clubs on the campus. In recent years the tendency has been to aban don these organizations for others of quasi-prestige. The time was when county clubs played, an important role in campus life. Yet since an enterprising feature writer divulged the superabundance of organization some four hundred odd, we believe on the campus, the general attitude towards these organizations has been one of smug tolerance, studied so phistication . and smirking derision. The left hand swing of the pendulum of the blase, mocking Mencken atti tude has served to upset the sense of proportion of many. County clubs are organized, foster mutual acquain tances among the students from , the county and to servethe University in any way that it may. In staging an alumni-student ban quet during the Christmas holidays, the members of active county .clubs will be rendering an eminent service to Carolina and their respective community. Editorial on New Kenan Stadium in Richmond Despatch "Stately in Its Simplicity, Flawless in Its Setting." OPEN FORUM CONSTITUTIONAL MISUNDERSTANDING Editor The Tar Heel: The Di-Phi discussion of a Consti tution was pregnant with misunder standing. The misunderstanding was more prevalent with the opponents of the constitution, but was, also in the ranks of ideal proponents. "Many of 'the speeches were extem poraneous and showed a lack of thoughtful preparation," according to the write-up in this paper. ( They must have been. It seems that Sena tor Bledsoe' was the only member of the opposition who showed any logic as to why we should not have a con stitution. "The opposition," said Bledsoe, "do not tell us of . the con tents of this proposed constitution. This is a vital argument and can be attacked only by the fact that it is impossible to show a draft of the proposed constitution. A constitu tion cannot be shown until it is draft ed, and the constitutionist should have agitated for a committee to draft a constitution, so that it may be shown to the student body in a concrete form, as Senator Bledsoe suggests. With all the misunderstandings, the utter ignorance displayed by Ralph Noe capped the climax of the session the climax of the expression of ignorance as to what a constitu tion really is. This was reached when Noe said that "the student body hasn't the right to cast aside the honor system in favor of a constitu tion." If I had been present on this utterance, I think that in spite of myself I would have "let loose" a loud oath. To change my tone. My Dear Mr. Noe, you are the first to conceive of the idea that a constitu tion would supplement the honor sys tem. I may add that in all the con stitutions that man has yet devised there has not been one that propos ed taking over the significance of any honor system. Together with others, I assume the name PUBLIUS. Student Paper Not To Present Lindsey Marriage Viewpoint Los Angeles, Cal., (By New Student Service). Judge Ben Lindsey's "com panionate marriage" lecture tour of the Pacific Coast, having caused con sternation in ministerial ranks, has at last hit the colleges. On the or der of Director Ernest C. Moore and Regent Edward Dickson, the Daily Bruin, of the University of California at Los Angeles, has been prohibited from printing any stories, relating to the Denver ex-judge. The Bruin published, as part of its United Press service, a dispatch from Portland, Ore., dealing with Lindsev's lecture there. Regent Dickson, own er of the Los Angeles Express, and one-time editor of the Daily Califor- nian, decided that such stories have no place in student papers, and he so informed Director Moore, who obligingly placed the ban. It has not been reported that Mr. Dickson has deleted Lindsey news from his own publication that reaches ten-year-olds. The editor of the Bruin had little to say, but other college editors1 on the uoast and elsewhere are rising tn deny that regents have the right of news suppression. Surprise also has been expressed, that a former editor of a college paper, and present editor of a metropolitan paper, should cast the first stone. Lindsey is now in the south, so the Bruin will have plenti ful opportunity of bringing about a showdown by disregarding the dic tatorial edict of the governing offi cials, and printing the news. French Car Interests Students A snappy-looking car stopped in front of Eubanks' drug store Wednes day and an equally snappy-looking young man stepped-to the pavement and went in to make a purchase. A crowd of students gathered about the car of unfamiliar design, and people began to exclaim: "the new Ford!" But it was a Renault, made in France. The young man was a Frenchman on a tour with his bride. The Richmond Times-Despatch pub- i lished, in its issue of Sunday, Novem ber 27, the following- editorial on the Kenan Stadium: Those who journeyed down or up or over to Chapel Hill, in the Old North j State, on Thanksgiving Day to see the football game between the University of North Carolina and the University of Virginia saw a great deal more than a football game. They saw a great spectacle on that occasion and they saw a great and beautiful sta dium for countless occasions. Indeed, the stadium at and of the University of North Carolina is to stately in its simplicity and so flawless in its setting that only those who have seen it can possible realize its calm splen dor. Imagine, Virginia, you are at tae University of North Carolina and it is within a half -hour or so of the time set for the game. There is a huge crowd, some 30,000, assembled to see the game, so you leave your automobile parked somewhere in the college grounds or in the town of Chapel Hill.. You strike out into the pines, but along a road. As you walk up and down the gentle drills, still amid the pines, you come to little ways leading off, mere bypaths, and some of them are marked so as to indicate that they lead to Gate No. 2 ' or 6 or 5 or whatnot. Coming to the little way that leads to your gate your ticket tells which is yours you follow it, stilF up hill and down dale and in the pines. If up hill or down dale is steep here and there, some genius has made rough steps of rocks to make the going easier. Al ways and always, be it remembered, you are walking through the pines. There is never a sign of a building, a structure, until you reach the end of your little way. There is then an entrance through a high wire stock ade, which, however, already is dis appearing under carefully planted growing things. Through the entrance you go, and there before you on your side of the stadium as well as on the other side just behind the Governor's box on one side and the press box on the other is a tall pedestal into which is let a bronze tablet contain ing the few words which recite that the whole is a memorial to William Rand Kenan and Mary Hargrave Kenan by their son, William Rand Kenan, Jr. Passing that, after pausing at it, you go toward the section marked in Roman numerals to which your ticket directs you. There are no steps to ascend, there are no artificial inclines, even. You step from the ground to the top step, if that's the word, and there is the great and noble" sweep of the stadium below, all below. Down to the field, on the other side of the field, and to the sides, stretch the graceful curves of the Kenan Mem orial Stadium. For the artis who placed the struc ture found a natural and huge de pression in the woods not far from the very campus of the college. There was draining, it is assumed, and there was some dredging and per haps some filling, as there certainly was a turtle-backing of the field it self so as to let the water run off. For the rest, there seemed to the un informed eye only a lining of the lovely bowl in the woods With con crete, row after row of steps with - wide aisles between and wide spaces between the steps. These steps do not go all around the bowl. They curve along the sides, approaching at each end: but an open space is left at both ends, so that the whole would have the appearance from the air of two vast marks of parenthesis, but not close together, thus ( ). At one end is a club house in architectural keeping with the rest of the structure. The other end is barred merely by tall and monumental gates which open direct ly into the woods, at the level of tfcp field. 'For final touch- for comfort, the spectators do not sit on the con crete steps: braced and bolted to-the concrete steps and a few inches a- bove them are massive seats of board which are almost beams for solidity and strength. For final touch of beauty, the play ing field is of grass which, even on Thanksgiving Day, was green. So that you, Virginian, if you can lift your eyes from the players on the green field, see oh each hand of you the slender curve of the seats da. your side,' on the side opposite you see the long sweep of 12,000 other seats, and all around and about and above you see dark shrubbery and tall, pines massed against the sky. What a gift to a college and a State it is! And what a memorial to the father and mother' of a man! Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity an nounces the pledging of Fred Thomas of Siler City, North Carolina.

None the less, the plan will be tried. As the Daily Princetoniana com ments, - "With Michigan trying the two-year : diploma; with Wisconsin studying separate civilizations as a whole instead of disconnected miscel laneous courses; with Antioch com bining manual and mental labor in its curriculum; with Harvard introduc ing two week reading periods before examinations; with Princeton experi menting with the f our course plan and preceptorial system, we are entitled to hope for better things in the line of education in the course of the next few years."
