"In my six months' tour of colleges and universities," writes! vacnel JLmdsay m the Novem ber College Humor, "I noted among the students and young professors a tide that is rising, the Cavalier spirit in a 1929- 1939 form. uur younglings oeiieve in the divine right, of splendor, neither the splendor of kings nor of Babbitts, but the splendor of their own sense of design, the divine right to choose and put on their own pageants, to give Maypole dances and elect their own queen of the May.. "They believe in freedom in choice of religion more than any other one group of citizens of the United States, and a typical committee for a Washington's birthday celebration of distinc tion and even grandure may be a Catholic, a Christian Scientist, a Jew, a Unitarian and a kid from Chicago still ballyhooing about Ingersoll watches and Robert G. Ingersoll. But they work in harmony and friend ship to the end of achieving this new splendor, .jvhich challenges and destroys the Babbitts, who are their own blood fathers. "And they hate above all the caste system, temporarily cre ated by Babbitt, which puts the business man above the artist every neia oi me. ineir LIBRARY HAS TWO FAMOUS VISITORS Dugald Niven and John Fedeler Come Here To Study Library Organization. ' . v . m form of Americanism would put the born artist above the whole business system of America and keep him there, with his heel on the neck of Babbitt, whatever the blood or stock or race or I family history of the artist. If that is a caste system, they have indeed a caste system. "They are not Cavaliers in sense in which Cavaliers of old England- fought Cromwell and Milton. Quite the contrary. If a Cromwell or Milton should ap pear, they would follow him and sing with him to the death. They hate the little cowards and will follow the bold and gallant spir its wherever they find them. "And they are brilliant, dash ing, decorative, always on horse back in imagination, and in that sense they are Cavaliers." Col. Joseph Hyde Pratt, who was colonel of the 105th Engi neers in the 30th Division, will deliver the Armistice Day ad dress here tomorrow. - -' He will speak in Gerrard hall at 10 :30 o'clock. The ceremonies have been arranged by a joint committee of the University fac ulty and the American Legion post. Dr. John M. Booker is chairman of this committee. Chaplain Lawrence will de liver the invocation. Before Colonel Pratt's address, Addi son Hibbard will read the roll of the "University's war dead, and Paul Robertson, commander of the post, will read the roll of the war dead of the village of Chapel Hill.

Twenty Thousand Watch rrr lar O Heels Win Carolinas' 'Battle y 400 Phi Initiations The Phi assembly will hold its second annual initiation of new members next; Tuesday night, November 12, at 7 :15 o'clock.

The University library had two distinguished visitors last Friday- Dugald Niven, libra rian ot tne puDlic library oi Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia, Africa, and John H. Fedeler, superintendent of the New York public library building. Mr. .Dugald came to the Uni-j ted States for the purpose of studying the organization and administration of libraries, his visit being made possible through a grant from the Car negie Corporation of New York. He spent the day with Dr. Wil son, University librarian, dis cussing the present status of libraries in the southern states. Mr. Niven stated that the main problem of the libraries in Southern Africa is the same as the problem of the libraries in the southern states, in that ser vice has to be provided for the two races. This problem is very expensive if it is met as it should be. A double system of service costs twice the amount of money that lust one libxary service costs. ,' Mr. Niven is particularly in terested in the establishment of library workers. The Univer sity library is a pioneer in teach ing library work in that.it start ed its extension department years ago. Mr. Fedeler only spent about three hours at the library. Mr. Fedeler's main interest lies in the book conveyor, a unique fea ture of the library. He inspect ed the conveyor with the view of the installation of a similar one at the New York library. There is not another book con veyor in the United States like the one at the University library, although several are under con struction at various libraries. This conveyor has attracted li brarians from many distant points, and has given the Uni versity library much publicity. Mr. Fedeler was very much sur orised with the aooearance of the building, but when he ar rived at the head of the main stairway on the second floor he was heard to gasp in amazement at the sight of the circulation desk in the circulation room, and the spacious reading room opposite the circulation room.

And it doesn't cost you a damn cent." The author of "What Price Glory," "The Big Parade" and "The Cock Eyed World" was speaking. And in typical "What Price Glory" terms, Laurence Stallings commented on his eve ning at Chapel Hill Friday night he attended a dinner party at the home of Mr. and Mrs." A. C. Nash, a performance of "Job's Kinfolks" at the Playmaker theatre, and afterward joined in a reception in the Green Room. - In this characteristic manner, Mr. Stallings. echoed the senti- Columbia, S.

Brushing aside a deceptive Gamecock offensive, the Univer sity of North Carolina rolled up 40 points in straight sweeps through Palmetto territory to smother the University of South Carolina here today before 20,- 000 homecomers, practically clinching the Carolina and South Atlantic titles. Their backs stopped dead in their tracks and . their passes knocked down, the Tar Heels al most succumbed !to the tricky Gamecock attack in the first quarter. A surprised Carolina line allowed Gamecock backs, loosed by deceiving fake plays, to sift through for long gains. The North Carolina score in this quarter resulted from a South Carolina fumble. Returning with renewed vigor in the second quarter, the Game cocks staved off a second touch down three times. The fourth march through their territory found a weakening defense un able to stand off the determined (Continued on, page three) ESPERANTO CLUB TO BE ORGANIZED Group To Study International Language; Grammar Can Be Learned In Hour.

In spite of critical eyes on everything, as is their wont, they enjoyed the evening immensely. This proves it: Mr!

SLADE IS SPEAKER AT SPANISH CLUB MEETING IViday night the November meeting of the Spanish club was held in the parish house of the Episcopal church at 7:30 p. m., with an unusually large number of members present. Mr. J .J. Slade, Jr., was the principal speaker of the evening, giving a very interesting talk, on Los,Tarascon de Michoacan. Mr. Slade discussed the influ ence jof this aboriginal tribe up on Mexican civilization, and its present status, illustrating his talk with a numberof pictures. rection of Dr. E. C. Metzinthin of the Department of Germanic Languages, a recognized au thority on Esperanto. The idea of the formation of the club grew out of a discus sion of Esperanto at a meeting last week of Amphoterothen, at which Dr. Metzinthin explained the need and purpose of the new -language. The current wide spread movement toward world peace demands a language which can be understood by all na tions, which is simple and easy to learn, and which will do away with the unnecessary elements which are present in all modern languages. Esperanto, Dr. Metzinthin de clared, fills such a need. The entire grammar can be learned within an hour, and conversa tional ease follows with a few lessons. The language is built on common-sense methods, and is the result of prolonged study bya group of international ex perts. . An international Esperanto Congress meets every year, and there is a strong organization ' in the United States, with head quarters in New York and Chi cago. A successful movement is on foot to introduce Esperanto into American schools and col leges. If sufficient interest is aroused on the campus here, an effort will be made to have Es peranto included in the curricu lum next year as a regular co.urse carrying credit.
