Socialist Candidate for Presi
dency Makes Forceful Impres
sion in Speech Here.
"Brother Hoever cannot make the
Republican party honestly dry, nor
can Brother Smith make the Demo
cratic party politically wet," asserted
, Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate
for the presidency, in an address in
Memorial - Hall Tuesday : afternoon.
jr " vvwiu vuoiij V-
that the Socialist candidate firmly
believes that partisan politics can
not settle the prohibition issue.
Mr. . Thomas came to the campus
under the auspices of the Tar Heel,
which has made it a custom to invite
leading political speakers to the cam
pus. Recent political speeches here
- are Senator Jim Reed's address last
spring and that' of Walter Murphy's
only a few weeks ago. .
. Some five-hundred students heard
the address. A much larger audience
" would probably have been present
. had it, not been for afternoon classes
and the last minute notice of the pres
idential candidate's visit here. -.;
Mr. Thomas was the luncheon guest
of-President Harry Chase at the. Car
olina Inn before the address. "
"Prohibition is not a national issue
at all," said Mr. Thomas. "There are
numerous wet Republicans and just
- as many wet Democrats who are
sticking absolutely to party lines.
Rum, race, and religion have been
played up, and the real issues of the
campaign slighted. -'-' ;i; .y
"Rum might better be referred to
a national referendum than to parties
and politics. . The race issue must be
worked -ou in the light of common
interdependence, and religion can best
be managed if we remember that it
;-.1s -far less important politically how
men pray than on whom they prey.
. "The Socialists," , he stated, "are
virtually interested in the deep un
derlying social problems. . They rer
fuse to be distracted- from these
problems by the endless talk of rum,
; race, and religion. .The Socialists are
in this fight to build our. own party
asan instrument of emancipation for
the workers. We are not in this fight
to help Hoover by. taking votes from
Smith in New Yprk state or to help
'Smith by taking votes from Hoover
in certain other states.
"Such highly yitaMssiies as for
eign policy have received no mention
whatsoever from Republicans or
Democrats. The real need of the
country today is to take the personal
element out of politics and face real
issues, not irrelevancies."
Mr Thomas is a very forceful
speaker, and he created no small a
mount of comment among those who
heard him.
Initial Concert Sunday
On Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock,
Mr. and Mrs. T. Smith McCorkle
will entertain the" student body and
the public in general at a concert in

ing breakfast which proved such a
success last year, many requests
have been received to make it one of
the traditions of the village. V

report given by Mrs. E. R. Mosher
of the regional and state conferences
of the A. A. U. W., held last May.
After a discussion of .the proposed
programs of the year, it, was decided
that the general subject would be
"Home and Foreign Policies of the
United States" rfd that the specific
subjects for each meeting would be
worked out by the trend of interna
tional and national events in the
coming year.
-There was some talk of forming
study groups for the studying of in
ternational relations, but no decision
was reached.

English Professor Says There
Will Be Little Forward-Going
Interest in New South until
It Wanes.
Southern colleges are doing little
to prepare their students to cope with
the growing industrialism of the
South according to an article by
Professor Howard Mumf ord Jones,
of the University English depart
ment in the October issue of The
New Student.- "Nowhere in the
South," he says, "has the study of
economics proceeded so far as to of
fer notable graduate work in this
field. Only belatedly has the study
of sociology come to be an effective
force in southern university life, and
at that, only in a few schools. Yet
it is' evident that the South needs'
now as it needed a hundred years
ago, an effective examination of the
foundations upon which the indus
trial system is to be built."
'" Such college men as are now
in conti'ol of southern business were
graduated (if they ; are alumni of
southern colleges) at a time when
modern departments of economics and
sociology were ' almost unknown and
necessarily they believe in, and op
erate under a lassez f aire system of
economic life which makes the Har
vard or Columbia student rub his
eyes in wonder. But I doubt whether
there - is any sinister control by
southern universities which prevents
the growth of economic thought in
that region. The . situation is far
subtler. ,.
"One truth one profound truth
in the ! general .situation is that the
southern undergraduate is blankly
indifferent "alike to economic theory
and to the insipient and baffling
problems of the new order in the
South. It is only natural that he
should be so. Typically the product
of a small community, typically also
the product of an upper middle-class
family, he does not know, because he
has never seen, such industrial areas
as the coal fields of Pennsylvania,
the mills -of New Jersey, the manu
facturing region around the Great
Lakes. He cannot envision, for he
has neither "experience nor data to
go on, the possibility that in the fu
ture there may be southern indus
trial areas of the same hideous ug
liness, the same raw and gigantic
energy. Even if his teachers tell
him so,: the fact can mean little to
him. - - '
"It is out of this dilemma that
southern colleges must somehow
find their way. As yet, it would

Poor Old Herbie Hoover: Al
Gets Most of Free Publicity
Norman Thomas Commiserates I
Herbert ; Socialist Candidate
Is Antithesis of Commonly
Accepted Ideas.,
ByG.H.
"I'm rather sorry for poor old Her
bie Hoover," Norman' Thomas, So
cialist candidate for the presidency,
told a Tar Heel reporter when inter-
Viewed at the Carolina Inn just be
fore, the luncheon in his honor Tues
day. "He will very probably be
elected, that is one of the chief rea
sons that I am sorry for him, but he
is only a , focal point around , which
Al Smith opposition centers. Al vis
getting all of the attraction and free
publicity."
Mr, Thomas is an easy, fluent con
versationalist, and his personally is
pleasing. Tall, broad of shoulders
and athletic of build, mild of man
ner, with gray hair and mild blue
eyesr the presidential candidate does
not measure up to, the popular con
ception of a socialist by any means.
His hair is not long at "all indeed,
he exhibits a tendency toward bald
nessand there is nothing fiery in
his manner or speech.
Only one thing about North Car
olina failed to meet the approval of
Mr. Thomas. When" he was leaving
Greensboro Tuesday he encountered
a gang of convicts at : work on a
county project, and he didn't like
their striped suits nor the fact of
their laboring on public works. Not
that he is opposed to convicts labor
ing, in fact, he says that it would
be a tragedy if prisoners were not
given something to do but that they
offer unfair, and unmeetable compe
tition to .ordinary laborers,
Mr. Thomas expressed himself as
very favorably impressed with the
University and with North Carolina
in general. v "
A federal system of employment
agencies was one of the things that
Mrv Thomas most forcibly advocated
in his conversation. He assailed the
graft and corruption that he declar
ed characterizes the private employ
ment agency, and advocated an ex
tensive program of public works in
periods of wide-spread unemploy
ment." - - . ' " '

Dean Tells Frosh
To Enjoy Themselves
But Not Stop There
Dean Bradshaw; in "making - a talk
o the freshman classin chapel yes
terday morning urged them to focus
their minds on a problem and "keep
it there until the problem is solved.
The most important thing for you to
get out of the University is the de
velopment of the ability to think."
He pointed out that there were
many things of importance to the
University student which should not
be overlooked. The many organiza
tions on the campus give a freshman
an opportunity to spread out and de
velop himself physically, socially,
morally and spiritually, said Mr.
Bradshaw.
"Have a good time, build up your
body, and enjoy yourself," stated the
Dean, "but don't stop at that, or you ;
will be outside the main current of

WORLDS SERIES
WITH INTEREST
Campus Favors Cards as Series
Open in New York
Today.
. Since the opening of school this
year, speculation has been rife as
to the pennant winnersjn the Ameri
can and National leagues. Now
that this" question has been settled
satisfactorily for some and not so
much so for others, the all important
question of the World's Series has
come up. " The majority of the stu
dents seem to favor St. Louis, it
seems. The Yankees seem to be the
victims of their own good work
that is, they have won so much, that
most people desire to see them lose
for a change. Then, too, they-are
crippled by injuries and will hardly
be able to do their best. "This has
caused those who have anything to
bet to give slight odds on the Cards.
A comparative glimpse of the two
contenders show them to be rather
evenly matched and so the series
promises to be a close one. The
Yanks have a slight edge on the hit
ting but it is so slight that it will
hardly prove of much aid. Their
attack is centered around Ruth and
Gehrig while the Cards will depend
on Jim Bottomley and Chick Haf ey
to do most of their hitting. Each of
these men is a dangerous batter and
should show some real stick work in
the pinches. The fielding of the two
teams is about on a par.: The Cards
are conceded a slight edge in pitch
ing and so should make up for their
hitting weakness by good work in
this department.
The series opens in. New York to
day for the first two games and then
the scene shifts to St. Louis.

Spirited enthusiasm characterized

Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock in
the lecture room of Person Hall,
starting Wednesday, October 10.
The lectures will be given by Profes
sor Paul John Weaver, head of the
music department. The , series is
open to the public, but students and
faculty members, and others members
of the college community who are in
terested in the comprehensive study
of Bach's . fugues are especially in
vited to attend, Mr. Weaver declared.
Last winter Mr. Weaver gave a
series of some ten lectures on Sym
phonic Music; this particular subject
will be continued during the present
year n a series to be announced at a
later date. The present lectures will
treat another phase of music, the
fugue, as exemplified . by the great
est master of fngal writing, Johann
Sebastian Bach. A systematic study
will be made of the first twenty-four
Back : Preludes and Fugues, each
member of the class using a copy of
the printed "music. A comnartivelv

small degree of music reading abili
ty will be necessary for those attend
ing the lectures. A supply of copies
of the music is being ordered.
. It is important that those who are
interested in these lectures be pres
ent at the first meeting and plan to
be regular in attendance, Mr. Wea
ver stated. Th work is accumulative
building up from lecture to lecture.
and an understanding of each sten
in the process is almost necessary to
