Pzge Four OMOAK CALL- FOR CO-EDS FOR DEBATING SQUAD Biedsoe Says Co-eds Especially Desired Because of Debate With British Women. To increase interest in debating and to , improve the standard of de bating? at the. University is the policy k of the new Debate Council, Taylor Bledsoe, president of the Council, stated yesterday. ' These aims are to be fulfilled through the new squad system of de bating which the Council has out lined for the year. Under this plan a meeting of the debating squad is to be. held weekly, at which members of the faculty will lead discussions s on economics, politics, morality, so ciality, and other subjects . of the day. . T:or all members of the squad, including those who do not care to debate, this affords opportunity to learn much about these current topics For the purpose of organization the first meeting will be held tonight in 202 Murphey at 7:30. They will continue upon every Thursday night throughout the year, and all stu dents who attend regularly and write one Satisfactory paper each quarter Will be eiven an arripmi linlf-pnnrao credit. Moreover, the' intercollegiate debaters will be picked, as far as 1 1 . i possiDie, irom, the squad exclusively. - Next month particular attention will be given to ' the subject of co education. Women of the University 3 ! e -i i aim wives oi iacuuy memoers are to ' take part in the discussions, which will no doubt arouse much interest in the debate on co-education which is to be held here this fall. 'This de bate, occurring in late October or early November, should be intensely interesting. Opposing Carolina's picked speakers will be a team of. tnree .British women, and the sub ject is, Resolved: that the disadvan tages of co-education outweigh the advantages. Carolina will uphold ' the negative side. In speaking of the event, Mr. Bled soe said, "We feel extremely fortu nate in having such a debate at the beginning of the season. This is a "splendid time for a girl to go out for the team, and the Council is hoping that one will do so." Bledsoe especially urged freshmen to come to the meetings and to par ticipate in the debating. It will be remembered that last year John Wil kinson, a freshman, was one of the most successful intercollegiate debat- TIXE -TAR HEEL Extensive Exams Provided By New Faculty Ruling Beginning With Present Junior Class, Comprehensive Exams in Major Field Required for Graduation. . Beginning with students who re ceive diplomas in June, 1930, each senior in the College of Liberal Arts and in the School of Commerce will be required to pass a comprehensive examination in the field of his major study before he will receive his diploma, according to a new faculty ruling passed last June All Juniors are asked to take especial notice :to this ruling since they will be the first class required to pass such a com prehensive examination. The faculty deemed it wise to see that a student is fully familiar with his major field when he leaves the University, and it is for this reason that the rule was passed, Dean Hib bard stated yesterday. The ruling as issued by the fac ulty follows: "Before receiving: his degree each Senior in the College of Liberal Arts and each Senior in the School of Commerce shall be required to pass to the satisfaction of his ma jor department an examination in the field of his major study. Such com prehensive examinations shall be of fered to students only once in any quarter. This rule shall be effective with the class receiving its degrees in, June, 1930." At the same meeting last June tne faculty decided to continue indefin itely the present optional attendance plan that is now in effect with Juniors and Seniors, but definitely agreed that there was a difference in the bearing this rule had in different classes. i:zmm will OPEN UP TODAY Chapel Hill's Oldest Theatre Will Be Operated Only on Last Three Days of Week.

Treasurer Carnes (Valdosta, Ga.,. Times.) The fact that an almost unknown man, with a prison record behind him, but with a glib tongue and pious pro fession, was picked up by the mission board. of the great Baptist church and made its treasurer, only to fleece the board out of a large sum of mon ey, offers a line of thought that may be well worth considering. Just how this fellow managed to pull the wool over the eyes of prominent men of the Baptist church is more than we can understand. How he managed to conceal his identity in the past and why the members of the board did not find out something about him is surprising, even passing understanding. . i Of course weall make mistakes and all classes 'of men have themselves been hoodwinked and swindled bv sharp rascals, but when a thing like that which occurred in Atlanta comes before the public, we naturally won der how any such crookedness could walk m any place without beinf? de tected, how he could have manimi- lated so much money without some body getting on to it and exposing mm. Too Much Trust Baltimore Sun) Loss by the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board of a million dollars! made away with by an absconding treasurer, may prompt the sucra-estion that if religious bodies spent less time mixing in politics they might fare better in pocket. The defalcation .is astoundingly large and could only nave occured where a board gave the "perfectly honest man" a f w hand. : ' . ' It' was one of these cases in which it was considered a waste of time to adopt ordinary business precautions. That is not an unheard-of storv. hnt it is amazing to hear that a treasurer in charge of large sums of trust mon. eys was authorized to buy and, spII securities without any supervision. (Asheville Citizen) ' The problem of how to reduce the number of automobile accidents is one of the most pressing which now con- ironts the people. Highway Com missioner Page is quoted as- suggest ing two measures which in his iude- ment should be odopted as speedly as possible. ; . One of these measures is a licenl sing act which would put drivers of motor vehicles on a legally respon- sioie basis. The -other is to provide a patrol force for the hifrhwavs the regulation of traffic. We are confident that the over whelming mass of automobilists will welcome a licensing system under which the responsibility of driver would be determined before they would be allowed to use the highways. It is grossly unfair to the hundreds of thousands who are continually put m jeopardy to vanow utterly irres ponsible persons to use public ave nues of travel in a way that endangers oxner. people and if a plan can hp worked out by which the number of irresponsible drivers can be reduced the most vigorous efforts should bp put forth in support of it. It should be quite apparent to everv one by this time that it is not enough to enact iegislation governing the hsp of the highways. Ways and means must be provided for carrying this legislation into effect so far as prac ticable. It is true enough that no patrol force can cover the highways of a great State with snffi thoroughness to apprehend all care- iess and reckless drivers; but a pa trol force would be of The careful drivers will gladly give their, full support to active mess, for the protection of traffic. They WUi cooperate with the authorities; they are helpless in the absence of any organized effort by the authori ties to improve conditions.

Several days ago he slashed out with a Warren-like hook, and neatly , tore the clothing off the front of a gentleman who was feeding him salted peanuts. He is in deadly fear of a club, how ever, and becomes extremely ill at ease if one is brought near him - Through the day the great bear lolls back and forth upon his chain,, lies in the dirt, or whimpers and begs to be fed. By a flick of his tnncmo he can retrieve a rolling peanut ker nel with the dexterity of a hen pick ing up corn grains, and if the, bottle is held up for him he can drink 'from it like, the best of topers. Sometimes he rages in the night and creates quite a hullabaloo, as though he had a mind to go back to New Bern. That chain and collar must ' be one grand pain. Messrs. J. E. Whitaker and F M Fitts own the animal, the Black Bear Filling Station, and the adjacent dwelling. Mr. Whitaker said, "When we bought the outfit: we paid: one hundred dollars extra. for the bear." "He eats the same foods as a man. but more of it bread and meats and sweets.. He ate twenty biscuits., for breakfast this morning. But it doesn't cost a great deal to keep him, because tourists feed him so much: why, just last Sunday he drankcmore than a hundred bottles of coca-cola, and ate almost as many bags of pea nuts!"
