The Real Significance of the
MacDonald-Hoover Conference
Wednesday President Hoover
ana rrime Minister MacDonald
issued a joint announcement in
which it was stated that their
conversations had been based on
the assumption that war between
Great Britain and the United
States was "hanicliorl " QTif fV,o
consequently a satisfactory solu
tion of the "old historical prob
lems" between the two nations
had become possible. This an
nouncement is indicative of the
highly amicable relations exist
ing between the British and
American nations at present.
Probably England and the
United States are in more per
fect accord on all questions now
than has been the case since the
American colonists broke away
from the mother country more
than : a century and a half ago.
Since the World War Anglo-
American relations have contin
ually become more., cordial, and
the negotiations between Pre
mier, MacDonald and President
Hoover mark the culmination df
a decade of increasing accord.
Pessimists and , anti-British agi
tators may point out that Great
Britain's power has been declin
ing for several years; they may
assert that England hopes to
attach her fading star of world
empire to the trail of the comet
like rise of the United States
into world power. Such asser
tions are at best nothing more
than idle speculation. There, is
every indication that a perma
nent and lasting amity has been
formed between Great Britain
and the United States, and that
Premier MacDonald's visit to
this country is a genuine expres
sion of friendship between the
two great English-speaking na
tions. International agreements are
likely to prove mere "scraps of
paper," of course. The, most
important aspect of the negotia
tions .between Premier MacDon
ald and President Hoover does
not lie in the agreements and
treaties that the two executives
may perfect, but in the deep
Lux et
Libertas
(Editor's Note: This article
ivas written as an English theme
by a freshman. We are publish
ing it. in the editorial columns of
the Tar Heel because of the ex
cellent ideas it expresses.)
It has long been a custom in
this world of ours for a govern
ment, state, or university to
adopt a motto expressing its
prime objective. Modern busi
ness and political methods, how
ever, have destroyed any sig
nificance which might previous
ly have been attached to these
mottoes; and so we see the seals
of many institutions of note
bearing mottoes which are now
meaningless and worthless.
V'Lux-et Libertas," the Latin
words meaning light and liberty,
which the University of North
Carolina has adopted for its mot
to, signifies a high-minded pur
pose, the diffusion of light and
liberty through the processes of
education. Every university,
whatever its rating may be, has
for its ultimate purpose the
spreading of light through edu
cation. Not all, however, preach
the doctrine of liberty and toler
ance. In setting for itself such
a high-minded purpose the Uni
versity, which represents the
state, has undertaken a difficult
task. But what have been the
University's accomplishments in
the past towards extending the
realm of light and liberty ? Two
movements stand out in my mind
as' proof that the University's
influence in this direction has
been negligible.
A few years after the end of
the World War there began
throughout the United States a
rebirth of the Reconstruction Ku
Klux Klan with a new aim and
ambition the expulsion from
the land of all Catholics, Jews,
Negroes, and aliens. Un-American
as its purposes were, thous
ands and hundreds of thousands
of Amrican men flocked to the
Klan's, banners, determined to
rid their country of its "ene
mies" and at the same time pre
serve the honor of the Cross.
North Carolina's citizenry, in
cluding many University alumni'
as well as common peons, also
gathered round the Klan's ban
ners and the burning cross in
large numbers. Whatever their
basic reasons for joining an or
ganization with such evil pur
poses were, their membership
stamped them as uncivilized and
un-Americanized. One can hard
ly suggest that "light and lib
erty" ever entered their con
sciousness. Turning to : more recent hap
penings, which even now are at
tracting nation-wide attention,
we find the same disregard for
liberty and a . considerable lack
of sane intelligence. I refer to
incidents occurring in the near
by city of Gastonia. There a
spirit of intolerance and ignor
ance has been demonstrated that
will stain the good name of this
state for a long time. The mob
like spirit which native North
Carolinians have so well ex
hibited in flogging" and terrify
ing strikers and Communists, as
well as noted jurists, speaks
loudly in defense of my asser
tion that the state university
and other state colleges have
done little to disseminate the
ideas of light and liberty among
the citizens of this state.
As long as such unlawful out
breaks continue and as long as
mob spirit and un-American in
fluences grip both intelligent and
ignorant classes, the motto in
the seal of this university will
remain only a motto and no
reality. I know of only one solu
tion to quell the mob spirit and
that is to inculcate in the minds
of all students and graduates of
this university the necessity for
tolerance and recognition of the
rights of their fellow-men. Not;
Friday, October 11, 1929
only tolerant spirits, ut spirits
that will enter into agreement
with all other forces in the state
to solve the various problems
that arise from time to time in
a fair and decent manner. When
the University will have succeed
ed in producing such minds in
its students, then, and only then,
will it be able to proclaim fear
lessly to the world that here
'lux et libertas" prevail in fact
and not in word. -N.' V., "33.

We are well acquainted with

that the figure was well applied.

again, in his joy, in his beauty,
in his human pride, express
him," is a beautiful idea of the

What are Cabel's views on

Answer; I should say that the
basic philosophy of Jurgen is an
exposition of the difference ; in
the viewpoints of youth and old
age. I might very well add that
the anticipation exceeds the real
ization thereof; because that is
an ever recurring Cabellian
moral. From his writings, I
should say that he believes in
the old French truism that "Life
is.the woman you possess, and
Art is the woman you desire."

Greensboro, Oct. 9. A large
number of musicians who teach
and supervise in the high
schools of the state will attend
thev conference at North Caro
lina college Friday and Satur
day of this week, according to
latest reports by letter from
visitors who expect to be in
Greensboro to near T. P. Gid-
dings, supervisor of music at
Minneapolis, and Russell V.
Morgan, supervisor in the Cleve
land schools.
Among the reports coming in
to the office of Dr. Wade R
Brown, dean of the school of
music, is a representative one
from Asheville, which states
that the entire staff of nine high
school music teachers will be
present Friday and Saturday.
Mr. Giddings will give
demonstration with a group of
40 boys at the recital hall of the
music building Friday morning
at 9:30 o'clock and will speak
of the treatment of the boy's
voice at that clinic. Dr. Morgan
will talk at 11 :45 o'clock the
same morning on the organiza
tion of a program of instrumen
tal music in the school. Both
men will hold clinics at 2 o'clock
and 3:30 o'clock respectively,
in Aycock auditorium in the af
ternoon. '

The question was inspired by a

Fraternity Tries
House Mother Plan
An innovation among frater
nities on the campus has been
made by the securing of a house
mother for Pi Kappa Phi's new
home on the Pittsboro Road.
The fraternity's selection is
Mrs. C. E. Rogers, "of Spartan
burg, S. C. Mrs. Rogers has had
previous experience at David
son College where she was house
mother of the Pi Kappa Phi
chapter in that school.
The chief duties of the house
mother consist in general super
vision of the housekeeping and
of the dining room.
The house mother plan has
proven quite successful through
out the west, and it is being
tried extensively in eastern
schools. 'It is believed that this
is the first time in the history
of fraternities on the campus
that the plan inaugurated by Pi
Kappa Phi has been tried here.
