C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1928 NUMBER 12 POTEAT URGES ATTAGMENTTO JESUS HIMSELF : n, ..' ' , Savs Personal Attachment vtoj Christ is Only Cure for Pres-ent-Day JMorals. Bill Bailey "Simple as the secret of Jesus is and open to the humblest apprehen sion, it is widely misunderstood and misinterpreted," declared Dr. William Louis Poteat, president-emeritus; of Wake Forest College, who delivered here in the Methodist church last night the second of his series of three lectures before the Chapel' Hill School of Religion. . ' Taking up his theme where he left off in his lecture Tuesday night, Dr. Poteat said that present-day moral standards, which had raised serious questions, could be improved only' through a greater "personal attach ment to Jesus." "It appears," he said, "that perso nal attachment to Jesus is the - es sence of our religion and the secret of the new way of living which he came to inspire. I sometimes wish that the , Master of souls might once again appear bodily among those who love but misunderstand Him." When Jesus comes , into a man's life Dr. Poteat said, "He renews a man in the inward parts, and a pute and devoted life is the sponstaneous i expression of this renewal. Such a redeemed man will be good because he wishes to be like his Redeemer and without fear of punishment or hope of reward." . Those who give themselves to Je sus, Dr. Poteat said, find self-realiza tion. Some people, he saidV do not understand what it means to follow Jesus. They feel, as did the Em peror Julian, "that" the world has grown gray with his breath; that he j kills joy, interposes squarely m the path of normal growth, and imposes ; self-denials not to say mutilations,, endless restrictions, and impossible burdens.' "Such an interpretation." Dr. (Continued on page four) PHI ASSEMBLY Resolution That Co-Education Has Beneficial Tendencies De feated by One Vote. s If - l If t "Xw ' ' i I : - r - V x - j - 1Aj r:;.

The resolution : Resolved, that co education has a beneficial tendency, ' wa3 defeated by a majority of one vote. The discussion was closelycon testedV throughout. Representative Ray opened the dis cussion, opposing the bill on the grounds that co-education was de trimental to both men and women and that the combination frequently led to distraction. Representative Lang took issue, upholding the resolution and describing the previous speaker as one of the Old School. He further stated that the time had passed when man was a superior personality. Representative Crumpler upheld the negative from the standpoint of sex ual inequality but thought there was no danger of a necessity of domestic courses being offered. Representative Lewis came to the aid of Lang's position, saying' that women brought up the morals of the classes. He maintained that the ex change of ideas was a great factor in co-education. t , Representative Collins maintained that the Black Mammy of Southern aristocracy was sufficient to raise children and that it was perfectly permissible for women to go into r . -.- public life. Representative Speight, in resort ine to a biblical background, said that -women, had originally been created irom the rib of man and should never be separated. , y Representative Kuralt stated that only a genius could see a woman s viewpoint and that as men and women were different organisms they should be educated separately. Representative Hayes showed that men and women should be educated separately owing to their distinct abilities, while Representative Sisk showed hat men and women should be educated together in preparation , for the complex social life now ex istinsr. - The assembly was called to order bv Speaker Crew and after the usual 'renorts. Hamilton Hobgood, one of th State's most outstanding high school orators of last year was taken into the assembly. Blacksburg, Va., Oct. 17. Virginia Polytechnic Institute's first confer ence tilt of the year, to be staged Sat urday in Kenan Stadium, at Chapel Hill, will , renew football rivalry of more than thirty years standing be tween the Gobblers and the Carolina Tar Heels. Old time grid followers recall the stubborn battles of the past ranging from 1895 to 1918, number ing nineteen engagements all told, of which the Virginians won 11, the Carolinians three. The remaining five were all scoreless ties. . With renewal of the ancient classic which formerly ranked as one of the Dixie Classics, interest here is at fev er heat, not only because of its his toric background but also because the clash will be the first conference battle of the year for V. P. I. Since the current schedule was announced last fall, this coming battle at Chapel Hill has been the most talked of con test on the V. 'P. I. schedule. Many motor parties will leave Blacksburg Friday afternoon or early Saturday morning for Chapel Hill. Meanwhile, the Gobbler eleven is be ing pushed at top speed for the en counter by Andy Gustaf son, head coach. 'Frank Peake and Henry Hooper are doing only light work in the backfield so far, due to the strain of the battle with the powerful Col gate . team at Hamilton last Saturday. Neither of these backfield stars is seriously - injured however and are expected to be ready to carry a big part of V. P.. I.'s varied thrusts a the Tar Heel ramparts. Monk Mattox, veteran halfback and running mate of Frank Peake and John Looney with the "Three Grenadiers" is ready for: duty. Owens Rule and Phil Spear will form an other fast trio now being groomed to carry the battle to the strong Caro- linaa 'eleven. ' I Fannie Brown, 170 pound center and Phil Hotchkiss, 155 pound guard received severe punishment at the hands'" of the 200 pound Colgate line but each came through with one of the greatest exhibitions of his ca reer. Though still , unable to take part in any rough work this duo should be ready for their first fling at. Carolina. The other, first string. forwards, Ritter tackle; Dexter guard; Gray, Mahaney and Pattie ends are in good condition and tak ing full part in' the heavy prepara tions for the coming clash. - For the second successive week Andy Gustafson's ; tioDDiers will go into battle against -:. a heavier and more rugged team. , Again, the Poly- techmen will rely on a. fleet and va ried attack. With this weapon they hope to man the North Carolina ram part3 ere the battle ends.

You would not put a beggar or a hobKinto a position of responsibility." In discussing the honor system, Dr. Williams declared when he ex plained it to a student at a northern institution, the student didn't believe that there were men ' who would ; be honest just for the sake of honesty. People some to the University with passions,". Dr. Williams assertea. Every man has a passion for some- the ground. Barbee struck a heavy wood covering of a hot bed with his chest when he fell, crushing his ribs and puncturing his lungs. Dr. C. . R. Toy, local physician, was called and ordered the youth rushed to - Watts ', hospital, Durham. A hurried X-ray disclosed the brok en ribs and punctured lung. According to H. C.

This talk by Dr. Williams, who is a staunch supporter ot the honor system and who said that he loves the Honor System more than any thing else in the University, was the concluding one of a series of six de livered by members of the faculty.

Frosh Meet TonigM The Freshman class will meet to night at 7 o'clock in Memorial Hall for the purpose of electing- a Chief Cheerio, it was announced by Cheer leader Bill Chandler last night. "Serious people of all generations seem to agree with Browning - that 'it's wiser, being good than being bad,' and yet the religious sanction appar ently no longer has the same power over human conduct that it once had," declared Dr. W.. L. Poteat Tuesday night in the first of a series of three lectures before the Chapel Hill School of Religion. Dr. Poteat said that his conclusions in his lecture were based on a survey of contemporary thought in regard to present day morals. "If by the religious sanction we mean the belief that God has at tached punishments and rewards to His commands in order to seeure o bediance to them, then the religious sanction does seem to be gone," said Dr. Poteat. "The fear of hell, how ever much decency it ihay have wrought' in former times and in bacfc ward communities, no longer holds the wretch in order, for he says there is no hell. Likewise the buying of good behavior with rewards here ,or hereafter is now widely held to be dishonorable to participants in the bargain, leaving character untouched to boot. ; i "In the absence of an inward in violable loyalty to goodness, what can we expect but . anarchy in the realm of morals, every man being a law unto himself, and crying, 'Ex pediency, be thou my god'? Such a man driven by impulse violates the law of the land without compunctions, if he thinks he can get by with- it, a Pointing out that . "there ia now a demand for the thorough investiga tioh of the criminal jury,'r Dr.. Poteat asserted that "the miscarriage of jus tice is so frequent as to suggest to some eminent lawyers the substitution of judge trial for jury trial." . , Frat Bids Will Be Given Tbdaji The Inter-Fraternity Council , announces that bids for the fra ternities will be given- out this afternoon at two o?clockr in Memorial Hall. All freshmen who have received a notice1 to be V present or who1 have reason! to expect bids are requested' to be there promptly at that time. Attention is ealledl to the rule. whkh states that the- period- of V silence is not over until the bid3 have been given out,, and: t&at the freshmen must gs directly from Memorial Hall to the respective " fraternity houses- antf must speak to no one whatsoever- on the way to the houses. ' The t final curtain of the rushing period .will be lowered this afternoon at two o'clock when the prospective pledges will assemble in Memorial Hall to receive their bids. The proud freshmen will mount .--'the nlatform. 4k - let their choice be known to those in charge, and receive their bid. They will silently make their way to the house of their choice, and after hand shakes with their future brothers, will don pledge buttons. At that time their status in relation to the fraternity will undergo a complete change they will cease to be the "important" rushees and will become lowly pledges. "'- The high hopes of many will be blasted 'when they do not receive a notice to appear in Memorial Hall at two o'clock. All that they may have been looking forward to for the past month will be completely swept away as the sad realization comes to them that they will not 'make' a'fraterni ty. Many, however, will have per- severence enough to be hopeful until the last mail is distributed this af ternoon. The disappointed ones will slowly walk back to their rooms from the post office, very remorseful and: cursing the ones that may have held out on them. There will be others who will receive their disappointment at Memorial Hall. They will confi dently write out their first choice, only to be content twith their second or third preferences. The freshmen, as well as the mem bers of. the fraternities, will be ever lastingly thankful when the rushing period and everything connected with it is ended. To the freshman, it will mean- alt onnortnmtv to shake -off the i i - false front that they have been wear ing since the opening of the Univer sity in order to appear at their best , (Continued on page four) 3 W MEMBERS WILL Resolution Passed Providing for Pins for Regular Attend ers At Senate Meetings. The meeting of the Dialectic Senate Tuesday night was featured by a pro posal on the part of Senator Brown, that the ancient custom of granting certificates of active membership be revived. The senator pointed out that the certificate would serve to re mind the - members of their duty to the honor and dignity of the senate. He showed the senate a framed cer tificate awarded in 1814. In corroborating the proposal of Senater Brown, Senator Caton called attention to the fact that the Dialectic Senate is among , the oldest literary societies in the TJniter States. He moved $hat the senate go on record as approving the' proposal to revive the ancient custom of granting cer tificates of active membership to all members of the senate. Speaking for the- committee .appoin ted' at the last meetings to formulate rules regarding the granting of a standard membership emblem, Sena tor Alexander introduced this resolu tion : Be it Resolved that the follow ing articles . be added to the rules of the Dialectic Senate: Section I.
