Little blue buttons -' with "Smith

litical debut about the campus. "But

The Carolina Theater revives its
last-year policy of entertaining the
fraternities at free shows. Coming
at this . particular time, we wonder
whether it is to take the form of a
congratulatory party or a consolation
prize! '"-r -..- -:. '
Notice of books being stolen. from
the Zoology Library comes as a sur
prise. That anyone should be able
to read, them is remarkable, but that
anyone should actually steal them in
order to read is well-nigh unbeliev
able! NEVER MIND PLEDGE DAY
Tofiay a small percentage' of the
freshman class will be called up; to
Memorial Hall to receive bids to so
cial fraternities. No doubt-they feel
pleased at being so favored and will
don pledge buttons with an air of
personal satisfaction Well enough
that is their right and an integral
part of their first year's experience
But as for he others, the larger
portion of the class fcy far, let there
be no feeling of inferiority born in
their minds as a result of not being
bid. Social fraternities, . despite "all
that may be said in their glorifica
tion, are by no means an essential
phase of a college education. They
possess certain desirable qualities
which they offer new men, but they
are by no means the sole road to
happiness, to satisfaction, nor even
to social contacts with fellow stu
dents. ; - '
Fraternities exist to furnish bonds
of friendship to ;their members; but
such bonds may be cemented else
where by other means. The boy who
joins a fraternity merely indicates
that he wishes that particular; groun
of men to become his closest perso
nal friends. The boy who does not
join a fraternity selects his friends
in other ways rin the dormitory,
through campus "activities in which
they are mutually interested, or by
means of sundry other ties which
may bring men together.
Furthermore, in the -short period
allotted to rushing season the various
fraternities do not have sufficient
opportunity to become acquainted
with more than a limited number out
of the freshman class. The merit of
many a man goes undiscovered in. the
hectic rush of the . first four weeks.
Unless alumni recommendations' have
beenj?ent in or the freshman already
has a personal friend in some frater
nity, the chances are that he will not
be rushed during the regular season.
If, however, he has : the qualities

Number 3 of : the Carolina Play
Book, the interesting publication- of

tures an editorial in celebration of
the tenth anniversary of dramatic
work at the University. ' During the
period from. 1918 to 1928 the Play

folk plays by 42 different authors,
have made 21 tours, played in 63 dif

of the leading cities of other states
and performed before 347 different
audiences, -
Such statistics show an amazing
amount of work done in the ten years
covered ;by the report. But a sta
tistical report by no means includes
all of the work done' It barely
hints at the awakening of a lively in

North Carolina. High' schools,; col

throughout the state are taking up
the work begun ten years ago by
Professor Koch ; and his Carolina

meiely fdea:in the mind of ' one

panded until now.it is fast becoming
a reality. Ten "years of drama have
brought North Carolina to the point

With none to see,
Find in the scented case
A dream for me. '
