That's easy there were plenty of up perclassmen along to make it hot for them. Communism Takes a Back Seat in the Textile Warfare Out of the disaster at Marion comes one fact that stands out with startling clarity. Hereto fore the general public has re garded the industrial warfare in the state as a communist capitalist struggle, but the de plorable slaughter of union men at Marion has forced upon even the most prejudiced of observ ers the realization that the bat tle is between labor and capital entirely. Communism enters into the textile warfare only in cidentally, and 4ts forces are of very little importance. When so conservative an or ganization as the American Fed eration of Labor becomes involv ed in a situation with as many aspects of the radical as that ex isting at Marion, there can be no question of the seriousness of the entire affair. , The out come of the Marion altercation wil have tremendous effect up on the future of labor over the entire country. America has its eyes focused upon North Caro lina, and particularly upon Mar ion. A dangerous precedent has been" set by Sheriff Oscar Ad kins and his deputies, and the state of North Carolina should act promptly to r fix responsi bility for the slaughter of the strikers. ; . Wholesale arrests have al ready been made. The authori ties have acted with praise worthy promptitude thus far. It is to be hoped that they will successfully meet this crucial test of the state's executive and judicial departments. ( Communism, which served to becloud the real issue at Char lotte and Gastonia, has been eli . minated from the Marion af fair. The true causes of contention present themselves at Marion with stark reality. Upon the governmental agen cies of the state now rests the burden of. proving to the nation that North Carolina is capable of administering justice to the forces of both capital and labor in the titantic struggle in which the Marion calamity is an im portant event." 1 1 1 . 1 A Z.-.-u. we learn, tnrougn me memum of this journal, that somebody has been elected president , of such 'and such a building. But to those of us on the outside of those walls, it hasn't much sig nificance. 'We take it that as a matter of course dormitory of ficers must be elected, because they were elected last year and year before that. But as for the organization of dormitories and specific functions why, non sense, i The usual thing about it all, however, is that most of us are mistaken. ; Dormitory organiza tion is not merely an ornament designed for campus life it is more than a formality. Every year the dormitories have smok ers, several each quarter, which serve to bring together, infor mally, those students who feel the need forsoeial contacts. These smokers mean to many students who are non-fraternity men what a fraternity man's fraternity means to him. " Another one of the important functions, of dormitory organ ization is seen in intradural ath letic activities. Organization is a great help in getting men to participate in various sports. There are many other things that could be said in favor of the above, to show why dormi tories as individual units are not just nonentities; tjie things that could be said would merely go to show that organization in the dormitories is a very necessary part of campus life. At least it is certain that this sort of thing is worthwhile and should Be "given whole-hearted support on the part of the stu dents. B. M. orously; at the same time di recting those about me to chafe her hands and wrists. Present ly she revived sufficiently to stand, and two of the marshals and I assisted her back to the dormitory. She was nervous and upset, but in spite of her tears she thanked me generously as I left. I felt amply repaid. Curtis Air Service Plans Co-operation It is well known on the N. C. C. W. campus that this girl, an honor student and a leader in extra-curricular activities, was physically exhausted from long preparation for the evening's event. Edwin Markham sees "time's tragedy" in the "aching stoop" of Millet's "Man With the Hoe." But is not another of the world's tragedies symbol ized by ; this talented young girl's . sacrificing herself for an ungrateful world ? Since the dawn of time such; individuals have offered up themselves for the progress, of humanity. From Socrates to Woodrow Wilson, and our own Edward Kidder Graham, witness the martyrs to the advancement of mankind. , Two officials of the Curtis Flying Service at Raleigh were in Chapel Hill Tuesday to con fer with Professor Hoefer and Mr. Bailey of the Mechanical Engineering Dept., regarding possible cooperation between the University and the Service m the newlv instituted aviation course. Mr. Tilley and Mr. Sutton, from the Raleigh branch of the Curtis Service extended an in vitation to the members of the engineering faculty to visit the field at Raleigh, and Mr. Hoe fer, Mr. ' Bailey, and Dean Braune went to Raleigh yester day afternoon for that purpose. Carolina Graduates In Telephone Work The Campus By Joe Jones Last Saturday while Carolina celebrated her first victory of the season an event was hap pening on the campus of a sis ter school which is, in miniature, the tragedy of the world, 0 At N. C. C. W. the student body was assembled for that gala , event, Lantern Night, choicest fiesta of the year. As idusk descended the occupants of each dormitory met in a clus ter at the entrance to their re spective abodes. Each girl 'car ried a lighted Japanese lantern, and each seemed a picturesque bit of statuary enveloped in the mellow glow of the diminutive twinkling flame. . ine cmrerent groups, now lines, moved off gracefully in one common direction Thread mg its way down the forest paths, the company converged near the pool at the Forest Theatre. A pause of the pianist indicated the program's opening. The marshals, six exquisite maidens in flowing white satin, escorted a young girl, , loveliest of them all, to the center of the half -circle formed by her school mates. She held aloft her lan tern, and began to recite a poem of autumn. Several lines had oeen completed wnen, with a dramatic gesture, the lantern was swung high into the air, and its flame extinguished as the girl collapsed to the ground. It so happened that a Caro lina man was the . only male spectator, excepting Dr. Foust, president of the college at this intimate gathering. I shall quote this Tar Heel's version of what happened next. ,.. He says : "I saw the lantern sail through the air, and the girl fall. At first I thought it was a part of the pro gram, but when I noticed the confusion among her compan ions I realized that the girl had really fainted. In a few jumps Mars Hill Students Represent 11 States The student "registration at Mars Hill college shows an in crease over previous years, ac cording to statistics given out by the registrar's office. Seventy counties of North , Carolina, 11 states, District of Columbia, Central America and Cuba are represented in the 420 students enrolled. These statistics show the larg est senior class ever enrolled at the college during the fall term; 103 showing the required min imum for a senior of 28 hours and eight quality points, and 30 who will be rated as seniors at the close of the first semester The freshman class numbers 253, the fourth-year, academy class 37, the third-year academy class 22. Of the total enroll ment, 242 are boys and , 178 girls. North Carolina leads in stu dent representation with, 305 en rolled; South Carolina comes sec ond with 87, and Tenn. third with 19. Other states and coun tries are as follows: Alabama 5, Central America 1, Cuba 1, Dist. of Columbia 1, Florida 4, Georgia 4, Kentucky 3, Louisi ana 1, Maryland 3, Mississippi 2, Pennsylvania 1 and Virginia 9- 'v: '.: Rushees Puzzled by Map of Fraternities While the map showing the locations of the fraternity houses on the Hill undoubtedly served at least one useful pur pose when it furnished some thing for the f rat men to : do while seeing whether their houses were on the map, in one way it puzzled the many fresh men who were trying to find out where the houses that they were to visit were located. One freshman with a large stack of cards in his hand was j ;xi i i it irumessiy searching the map trying to find some of the houses to which he had invita tions. ... Finally after quite a few minutes spent in looking over the map, he gave it up in disgust. - ; When asked what was the matter he replied, "What is the use of a map like that. I don't run a fruit stand, and I can't read Greek." ' . This seems to have happened in many cases,, and taking it as a whole; the map was quite puz zling indeed to a great many of the men 'who were supposed to use it to find out where they were tovisit. Atlanta, Ga., October 4. (Special) Each yearan increas ing number of Carolina gradu ates have been selected by the Bell System Telephone Com pany for various types of work in this large service organiza tion. Within the , last three years twenty-two Carolina men have entered this work after their . graduation. Of the 1929 class, . twelve are now busily en gaged, in some way, in helping to render telephone service to the entire nation. Four of these latter twelve men are r. located in Atlanta; while the remain ing eight are in other sections of the East. Each spring, representatives of the personnel departments of the several Associated Bell Sys tem Companies visit the col leges and universities through out the country and select from that year's classes the number of men which these Companies will need within the! entire organization to be trained for telephone work. Then, soon after graduation these "men so selected report to the Company by which they are to be em ployed, where they enter a gen eral introductory training course! This initial training period lasts about three months. During this time the new mem bers of the organization are en abled to obtain a general, yet comprehensive, idea of all the work and Dolicies ' which are necessary to give efficient and universal telephone service. The methods used in training these recruited men are based on the best systems that come from long experience and con strucn ve. foresight. In many phases of the work the men are given the opportunity to learn by practice and actual exper- i- i lence ; m other parts, tney are trained by means of lectures and observations! When this introductory training period ends, each man is assigned to the work for which he is best fitted. - 5 Telephone work is not con fined to engineering students or to men with technical training alone. Many men with the Lib eral Arts and Commerce degrees also find a variety of opportun ities open for them; arid often times a non-technically trained man becomes, through excellent training methods, a great tele phone engineer. And sometimes a graduate in engineering will become a good accountant or commercial man. Incidentally, one of the officials of the com pany recently stated that dur ing the next few years more men were to be selected from the two -leading Commerce Schools in the South Alabama University and North Carolina University, than has been the practice heretofore. All of the orth Carolina men who have entered this Company are more than pleased with their choice and good fortune of having been selected. They have found telephone work most interesting and with many opportunities for advancement open to those who apply themselves. TODAY P- & srtUfc-T i 4fP' - Every Hoof beat A Heartbeat!

Maintenance crews performed the same service as did telephone-men in the signal corps in the war. . In the daily life of the nation, just as surely as in emergency, the telephone meets an ever-growing stream of demands To do this successfully the Bell System's expansion program embraces trans-oceanic telephony through the ether and under the sea, to ships at sea and planes in the air-, and above all, wire facilities that will carry the voice, the typewritten word, the picture: to every corner of the land.
