' TMMJN TALK
Gives 12-Minute Talk Over Ra
iio Station WPTF Monday
Night.
A plea for an eight months school
term was the chief support of a 12
miaute talk given by President Chase
through WPTF on Monday night.
His grounds for argument were that
the elementary schools, high schools,
and colleges are all a part of one
great system, and that the whole sys
tem is no stronger than its weakest
part. In showing the good of a strong
school system, he showed the growth
of the educational system in the South
and in North Carolina since the Civil
War. His final appeal was that-the
men sent out by the University were
a proof of what higher and efficient
education was doing for the state
which made it possible for young men
to get this education.
"Parson" W. D. Moss was another
of the speakers who broadcasted from
the Raleigh station in the "University
Hour." In his speech Dr. Moss told
how his twenty-five years near the
University campps has shown him the
real virtues of freedom and stability
as represented by the University, the
students, and the state which makes
the . institution possible.
"The citizens of the Carolina cam
pus, like the citizens of the state, oc
casionally take liberties with freedom
and swagger around in the garb of
excessive individualism. But such cit
izens are neither representative of
Carolina or their fellow workmen
there," he declared. His talk was con
cluded with the presentation of the
Carolina Honor System and the in
fiaence on the men who have come
into contact, with it.

tory Club will be made this morning

CARROLL SPEAKS
AT REAL ESTATE
IEET1NG MONDAY
Addresses Greensboro Board at
The Hylmore on "Relations
In Education and Profes
sions." 'Relations in Education and Pro
fessions" was the subject of an ad
dress by Dean Carroll before the
Greensboro Real Estate Board which
met at the Hylmore Monday afternoon
for its monthly meeting.
In the beginning of his speech, Dean
Carroll praised Greensboro for its civ
ic pride and" commended the organ
ization for the part it has played in
bringing about this spirit which he
described as an invaluable asset to
the progress of North Carolina cities.
The business of the realtor, according
to the speaker, "is a transition from
trade to profession."
The two problems in educating peo
ple, to make an adequate living, and
enjoy it after gaining it, are the prob
lems which are met by the educator,
according to Dean Carroll. Emphasis
is laid upon the first of the problems
rather than the second and creates
a great demand for efficiency and
making of money rather than of en
joying it after it is gained.
Broad understanding in America is
needed to avoid catastrophe, he said.
Dean Carroll declared that the col
lapse of Russia was caused by just
such a development, and that what is
needed today is less technology, more
instruction in everyday problems, and
a race of men mastering money in
stead of being shrivelled up by it.
The instinct to judge values is rare
and should be cultivated, for one
i
mustn't expect education to do every
thing, was one of the points empha
sized by Dean Carroll in his speech.

Favorite
And Eight To One of
Faculty.
HOOVER G. O. P. CANDIDATE
Straw Vote Conducted under
Auspices of Tar Heel, Univer
sity Republican Club and the
Al Smith Club.
Alfred E. Smith, fiery New York
State governor whose rise to fame and
public favor reads in the manner of
a Horatio Alger thriller, is the two-to-cne
favorite of the students and
eight-to-one choice of the faculty for
the presidency of -the United States.
The campus straw vote conducted in
conjunction with the run-over elections
yesterday under the auspices of the
Tar Heel and of the University Re
publican Club and the Al Smith Club,
resulted in an overwhelming Smith
victory. He received 507 student votes
and 68 faculty votes, while the Hoov
er student ballots totaled 261 and the
faculty votes 9.
A number of well-known student
politicians have staged a well-organized
Smith campaign during the past
few weeks, and a decided sentiment
in favor of the man who is expected
to figure in the final balloting for
Democratic nominee for the presidency
has been in evidence here for some
time. Smith was nominated as the
Democratic candidate for the straw
vote in a primary held last week. He
amassed a big vote to easily win over
his nearest competitor, Senator Jim
Reed of Missouri, who spoke in Mem
orial Hall recently.
Hoover was selected as the Repub
lican nominee by the University Re
publican Club. He has previously
been selected as the favorite of the
Di and the Phi, the two campus lit
erary and forensic organizations, at
a joint meeting of the two bodies.
The markedly laVge plurality of the
faculty votes received by Smith oc
casioned quite a bit of comment today
among those who had learned of the
outcome of the straw vote. Faculty
voting was done on separate ballots.
Presidential straw-votes have been
taken at a number of colleges and uni
versities throughout the country dur
ing the past few weeks. The total
results show a rather narrow margin
in favor of Hoover.
