PARAGRAPHICS
We like jazz. That is an incon
trovertible fact after the warm re
ception given Paul" Whiteman and
his orchestra last week. Memorial
Hall was filled to its capacity for
the first time in the history of this
student generation. And that au
dience which packed the Hall gave
Whiteman an ovation the like of
which has certainly not been wit
nessed here in recent years. Al
Smith or Lindberg might have pro
duced a similar 7 response but there
are probably few others capable of
calling forth such enthusiasm.
dut no criticism is due on
that point. Jt is natural enough for
our student body to like jazz and to
attest to the popularity of its King.
We have been brought up in a jazz
world, fed jazz victrola records, .rid
den about in jazz-mad automobiles,
and all the rest That is one expres
sion of our age and may, just as well
be recognized as such, bur question
is this: can it betruthfully said that
jazz is xne oniy expression oi our
generation? Is an orchestra like
Paul Whiteman's the only attraction
that is able to fill up Memorial Hall
with an enthusiastic crowd? .
The answer to that question will
be found in the forthcoming enter
tainments of the year. If jazz is
the only thing which interests us,
Memorial Hall will have a sparse -au"-
dience for Sherwood Anderson,
Count Von Luckner, Sothern and
Halliburton. If other attractions
than jazz are also popular upon this
campus, Memorial Hall will again be
filled 1 during the year. ; :

DECISION DAY AND SILENCE
, (Yorkville Enquirer)
Senator Blease' is occupying quite
La , unique position in this presiden
tial campaign. He has frequently
said that he votes "dry", in the sen
ate because he was elected to the
senate by a dry constituency, but
personally he is opposed to the pro
hibition law. He frequently stated
before the Houston convention that
i - -
ne was opposed to Mr. Smith, and
even wanted to nominate Senator
Borah, a Republican, for the Demo
cratic presidency, and now we find
him making speeches all over the
state in favor of Mr. Smith, who is
a decided wet, and who promises the
country that he will do everything he
can to amend the 18th amendment and
change the Volstead law. Two VP JITS
hence Senator Blease will come be
fore the people of this state to ask to
be re-elected on his record as an out
spoken wet who worked for a wet to
represent a dry constituency, and he
will doubtless find many opposed to
him who are today insisting that he
make speeches in an effort to lect a
wet President. -

The Philanthropic assembly - will
discuss the resolution, "Resolved, That

regular meeting tonight at 7:15. This
is the topic that the University De

British Women's Debating Team, and

... When ,the bell in old South rings
out tonight at midnight, one more
season of fraternity "rushing will
have been - completed. At the mom
ent of midnight there will begin the
period of silence, during which time
,no fraternity man or agent of any
fraternity shallhave any conference,
spoken or written, with freshmen
rushees. ' Such is the rushing rule
laid down by the Interf raternity
council. It is a wise regulation and
should be honestly and strictly en
forced by members of each fraterni
ty on the campus and by those men
who are being rushed.
The day, and a half of silence is
only fair to the freshmen,, who have
passed through a strenuous neriod of
rushing which too often leaves them
m a bewildered state of mind. Deci
sion day comes as an important oc
casion and should certainly be pre
ceded by thoughtful consideration
during a space of time when outside
influence becomes negligible. -
Before any decision is made, it is
well for the freshman to .make an
attempt to think clearly through 'the
situation about him. Let him uti
lize his . period of silence for serious
reflection on his choice of-fraterni
ties ; let him consider the various
points in favor of each and weigh
the results carefully before commit
ting himself. For once the final
stepis made on Decision Day, it is
irrevocable. When one joins a fra
ternity, he binds himself closely to
tnat group at least for :the remain
der of his college days. Hastv and
ill-considered decisions bring their
own punishments. '..The period of 'si

Local Republicans take what ap

the State College Band to do its stuff
at the meeting at which Vice-Presi

The excuse that- the State College
band does not play at political meet
ings is not one that will wash very
easily in view of the fact-that it had
a prominent place m the ceremonies
and formalities with which. Governor
Smith was received in Raleigh.
It is true that there may be made
a fine distinction between a welcome
extended to the Governor of New York
and the visit for, partisan purposes of
a benator .of the United States as a
candidate. v But Governor Smith's own
partisan .candidacy renders the dis
tinction flimsy indeed. If Al Smith's

meeting, then we have never seen one

Dear Sirs:-
Two years ago last winter .1 went
into the -Red Lake gold fields in
Canada. It was a tough trail from
Hudson, over 140 miles of snow and
ice. There were fourteen of us on the
trail going in, and frequently at night
when seated around a big camp fire,
some one would ask me for a pipeful
of Edgeworth. These Canadian boys
sure like our Edgeworth. ,
In four weeks"time I ran out of
Edgeworth. I was glad to get 'most
any old tobacco. v,
Oheday, however, I dropped in to
Dad Brown's tent, a 72-year-old pros
pector, and seeing a can of Edgeworth
on an improvised table, back there 1 50
miles from the steel, 1 perked up at
once, saying,' "Dad, I'm plum out of,
tobacco how's chances for a pipe
ful?" "Help yourself,!' he said. So
pulling my heavy, duty pipe from my
pocket, I loaded it with Edgeworth, '
packing it in so tightly that I couldn't
get the least bit of a draw.
I excused myself for a moment, and
stepped outside to remove about three
pipefuls to . put in my pouch. . Dad
stepped out, saving, " Youe worse
than any Scotchman I ever saw."
Then I confessed. I tolcLhim what
happened to my Edgeworth that I
was just dying for a smoke, and he
understood right away. He said,
"Boy, Edgeworth is mighty scarce in
these parts, but I reckon I can spare
what's left of that can; Help yourself."
You can just bet your last nickel
that I guarded this" Edgeworth with
extreme care until I got back to the
"steel." ; , .
Yours very truly,
