Tuesday night .Phi meeting, so we hear, was devoted to a discussion of the resolution: "Be It Resolved That Ignorance Is Bliss." How happy the members must have been to debate such a delightful subject!

' -L ' ' ' In the good old days, so the story goes, when North" .Carolina played ; Harvard in football, the parting words of the coach were these: "Boys, you've ' got to go in there "and fight for old North Carolina and don't forget that every man on that Har vard team is a Republican." ' But the modern version, since Hoover carried N. C. and Smith carried Mass. is this: "Boys, you've got to go in there and fight for 'old North Carolina and don't forget that every man on that Harvard team is a Democrat!" Informational . And- Inspirational Alumni Introductions In this issue of the Tar Heel is the first of a series of short alumni sketches, prepared by Maryon Saun ders, Alumni Secretary .of the Uni ' versity. Such write-ups will be run from time to" time and will serve as an introduction to men who once were students here on the campus and have now forged ahead in their re spective fields of work." It is im possible to introduce the studentsto all of the 12,000 or more living alumni of the University ; but in at tempt will be made to present a few of the great group of representatives and prominent men. The selection must of necessity be made more or less at random and should by no means be construed as an honorary list! of a limited number of "immortals."..- r;:',-;v-c:"--' The purpose of these introductions is twofold. In the first place, in a merely practi- j cal way they will answer the ques tions of hundreds of .present students who wonder what men have gone through the same process of educa tion in which they now find them selves, what those alumni are doing, and whether they have been success full in their chosen work. It is na tural enough for us to wonder just who are the men throughout the state and nation who graduated from the University. It is right and fit ting that we should know their names and their records as a vital portion of the store of information concerning Lour school. There is, however, an even deeper significance to the importance of an acquaintance .with these alumni than the satisfying of a desire for infor mation. The knowledge of what bur predecessors have done should act as an added spur to our owji ambi tions. , Realization of the success of alumni should fire in the; minds of present students a keen eagerness to go and do likewise. ; Recognition and admiration of the accomplishments of ixiyi uecessfiil person 1 serves as an inspiration ta the climbing youth. Of infinitely more value then,' is the zeal for emulation of those particular individuals who received their train ing upon the selfsame academic stamping grounds as we ourselves. Our. opportunities are fully as great as theirs; , our environment is - the same. The only excuse for failure is either a misuse of opportunities or an inherent lack of ability, Famil iarity' with the achievements of our alumni. cannot fail to 'serve as a stimulant and an inspiration. Introductions are in order. Will you. meet the , alumni of the Univer sity who have left the college portals behind them -as we soon shall do and who have made their mark in the world of professions and of business as we hope to do? An Exponent of " V -Modern Literature " - ' In. any discussion of the trend of modern literature, the names of Sher wood Anderson and Theodore Dreiser are ever prominently . mentioned. To them in large measure is due credit for the American breaking away from Romanticism to Realism, from tales of high adventure and senti mental love to a depicting of the' ordinary, common-place" folk who people every toisrn and state. . - ' Modern literature recognizes the value of the individual and gives him his 'proper place irrespective of dis tinctions of class race, or colorful-r ness. The shabbiest, drabbest man is worthy of attention and receives that attention from a writer like An derson. His "Winesburg, Ohio" i an excellent example of this character istic. In this series of short stories which go to make up a composite pic ture of small-town life characters are drawn whose literary merits would never ', be perceived by a t mind riot saturated with the idea of the merit of the individual. Anderson takes the character as he is and, without desecrating the sacredness of the individual, presents him to the reader in such a . manner as to demonstrate his significance in the general scheme. The inherent dignity of personality, often scarcely discerniblle. to the average observer makes itself manifest to the sympa thetic eye of Anderson; and he, af ter observing, also has the knack of catching that indefinable something which distinguishes one person from another and of putting it .down in storied form for his readers. : If the lecture tonight has . any of the charm and compellingne'ss of Anderson's short stories or his novels, it will be thought-provoking ; and gripping as well as delightful. , Di Calendar The calender of the Dialectic Sen ate calls for a discussion of three resolutions: 1. Resolved, That the Dialectic Senate go on record as favoring the abolition of the jury system. 2. Resolved, That the Dialectic Senate go on record ' as favoring the ownership of Muscle Shoals by the United States Government. ; ' ; , Certain hotels advertise that they have special rooms for reducing fig ures. .

MARYON SAUNDERS i Alu mni Secretary 4 Dr. Wade H. Atkinson, '88 Washington, D. C. The love of his native home has never left the breast of Dr. Wade Hampton Atkinson, prominent" phy sician and' surgeon of Washington, D. C. Despite the fact that he has an extensive practice in the Capitol, he often finds time to .visit again the scenes of his boyhood, and his Alma Mater. ' , , ' . Last month Dr. Atkinson came to J ohnston County, his birthplace, and held a tonsil-adenoid clinic for the children of the Selma district, giving his services free. : He performed in a week or ten days a hundred opera tions, and each with the skill that his long experience and study has - made possible. It was a wonderful example of public spirited work. V o.ic wta uuxii near rrmceton m J ohnston County, November 4, 1866, and had his first schooling in the backwoods the county. He entered the University in 1884, remaining, for two years. He was then a student in medicine at Columbia, the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Chica go, and won his M. D. at Georgetown University in 1889. During this time he had largely" supporteS him self by working in various govern mental positions. In 1891 he became resident ' physician ' at Emergency Hospital m Washington, and took up the private practice of his profession the following year.- In Washington ne is - prominently identified in pro fessional, social ; arid business circles.

Herbert Hoover won -the presidency with more than- twice as many electoral votes as Al and as a result- E. P: Daniels, a local barber got a free ride in a wheelbarrow from the Chamber of Commerce; to the Postoffice with David Wright, another barber, push ing the' vehicle. " Crowds lined, -the streets to see the payment of the debt incurred by White as the result of a bet on the election. The passenger in the wheelbarrow wore a hat with the placard, "I won," the loser's hat said .. "I lost," and the wheelbarrow carried advertisements of local con cerns. ' '. We'll admit that there is pronounc ed evidence' of .prosperity among Philadelphia police captains.- Eyery time sbme one starts talking about the prospects of a Republican victory in .North Carolina, we are re minded of the story that . went the rounds when North Carolina Univer sity plafyed Harvard several years ago: - : . v :; t . "Boys," pleaded the Carolina coach gust before his team trotted on the field, "you've, got to get in there and fight for old " North ' ' Carolina and don't forget that every man on that Harvard team is a Republican." Detroit News Oberlin Review. ' SOMEBODY BADLY MISTAKEN - . The original story of the intention of the Republican leadership in 'the fifth North Carolina district to con test the election of Representative Stedman contained the statement that "the , Republican V management claims that 300 to 400 students of the Uni versity !of North Carolina who were riot ( eligible to vote did vote." The Republican candidate, : Mr. Harden, confirmed that belief to the. Daily News in his own statement that "we" are reliably informed that quite a large number of students at the Uni versity of North Carolina who had no right to vote did vote last Tuesday. Frankly, it may be that this state institution also needs a wholesome lesson." '' , j.,-: .;. '".. ; That is one side of the storyand all of-that side, that has been printed, so far as University students are con cerned.; The other side is presented by Charles Robertson, of Hillsboro, chairman of the Orange county board of elections, and by Paul' Robertson, of Chapel Hill, registrar of the Chap el Hill precinct. , The latter Mr. Rob ertson testifies for the public that the Chapel Hill; precinct had a total; of only 406 voters registered all 'told, that the number of these who are Uni versity students is between 25 and $5, and that they all live in Chapel Hill and are eligible tp vcte. Here are relatively simple ques tions of fact. The two ; stories are so widely different that obviously somebody is mistaken and badly mis taken. It ought not to be difficult to determine who it is- But until it is determined, a serious charge will lie not only against a political manage ment but against a large group of students at the state university.
