If Smith is submerged in a wave of bigotry and snobbery, none can foresee the consequences to free dom of thought and habit in America."

PARAGRAPHICS The reluctance with which seniors and juniors are making appointments to have their Yackety Yack pictures taken reminds us of the quasi-modesty pf . some of our visiting notables. - Tomorrow being Founder's Day, we are trying to decide whether it cele brates the anniversary of the esti mable Davie's finding Davie Poplar or some legendary Mr. East finding the cornerstone of the first building. And while speaking of politics it might be well to mention that a new use has been discovered for Al Smith lapel buttons they are now being used to pin : together the sheets of themes, essays and law papers! It really is most obliging of Paul Whiteman to come down South to morrow just to help us celebrate the founding of the University. Perhaps such felicitious sentiment on his part results from the possibility of his be ing an "Unknown . Alumnus" of this Alma Mater. - This Hoover-Smith controversy ex tends even to the - youngest. We heard yesterday that the grammar grades in the Chapel Hill School, or ganized into Smith and Hoover Clubs, staged a free-for-all fight, -in r which the fourth grade Hooverites licked the fifth grade Smithites. My, but they start young! WHAT WILL HE SAY? After hearing an infinite number of occasional speeches some for Found er's Day and some for similar events, our editorial optimism has become sadly diminished as to the likelihood of a really worthwhile address. Medi ocrity has been the outstanding char acteristic of most speeches . delivered in Memorial Hall during the past few years. . Excellence has been the ex ception. ' However, with the bit of hope stil left to us we are looking forward to hearing Robert Lathan, editor of the Asheville Citizen speak tomorrow morning. He comes to this Univer sity with the reputation preceding him of being an able speaker and an eloquent editor, with the added rec ommendation of a Pulitzer award fdr the best editorial of the year. From Lathan we hope to receive an address which will go far toward compensating for previous lack and which will fitly grace ,the importance of the occasion. ' MUSICAL RECOGNITION In recognition of a -wide reputation and high merit, the Glee Club of the University of North Carolina has been cabled an invitation to partici pate in th Anglo-American Confer ence of Musicians to be held in Eng land next year. Simultaneously comes an invita tion to the University Band to play for the Al Smith reception in Raleigh. No comparisons are to be made or inferred as to the relative importance of these two invitations.
