Duke And Carolina To Snicke Th? Per.c2 Pipe During the past few- .days considerable impetus has been given to the movement for in creased amity, between Duke and Carolina students. Invitations have been issued for a meeting of representative students bf both institutions, which will - be held the latter part of this week. Plans for increasing cooperation and friendliness among the un dergraduates will be developed at this meeting; - - Several weeks ago the Tar Heel suggested that the "hate rivalry" between Carolina and Duke - is- the heigh th of - folly ; this suggestion was followed by a series of editorials urging that concerted efforts be ex erted to replace this inane jeal ousy with mutual good will. We have observed with keen interest the reception accorded the series of editorials. On the University campus the response has been rather gratifying, although a few .sophists have expressed profound scorn of the" entire idea. Especially gratifying has been the response on the part of the Duke Chronicle and several of the state's leading - newspapers and magazines. Editor Jake Lippard of the Chronicle has been most generous and enthu siastic in his advocacy of bet ter Duke-Carolina relations. In a recent issue of his paper he suggests an inter - university banquet. Excerpts -from the editorial follow: I "Now that the football season t has closed and the majority of college students have come down to Earth, we are desirous of seeing action taken on a pro posed era of good feeling be tween Duke and Carolina. The Daily Tar Heel and The Chroni- 1 1 cie, m its weeKiy way, were first to acclaim the possibility of a peace pact between the neighboring universities, Caro lina and Duke. Several leading North Carolina newspapers and magazines marveled at the ap parent amity between the pub lications the two schools and the unprecedented willingness of the lion and the lamb, as it were, to lie down tobetherl jEdi tor Holder, of the Tar Heel, has devoted a number of well writ ten editorials advocating such a movement. Carolina is ready to bury the hatchet of inane jeal ousy; The Tar Heel suggests that the interment be held at a Duke-Carolina banquet sponsor ed by the student governments of each institution. The Chron icle agrees with The Tar Heel. "At present students of either school cannot fully realize the benefits, both immediate and ulterior, that might grow out of a determination to maintain gentlemanly relations between Duke and Carolina. The com bined resources of the two schools can attract the attention of the whole southland. . . . "The continuance ; of past superciliousness on the part of both student -bodies will inevi tably? result in the severing of athletic 7 relationship between the two institutions. Witness the W M. I. and Washington and Lee segregation. Neither Duke nor Carolina can afford to divorce on athletic grounds for obvious reasons. Henry Kistler, captain of the 1929 Blue Devil football team, is of the" opinion that if the Duke-Carolina bit terness continues, athletic isola tion will surely follow. We could not bear to see this come to pass.- . "We suggest that the senior classes or the student govern ments of both universities make some definite arrangements to stage an inter-university ban quet such as Carolina has sug gested. Duke seniors might consider the possibilities of the get-together at its next class ! meeting. At least, we should show the" "state papers that we I are sincerely intere ...tc l in srnok- ing the peace pipe." -An inter-university banquet between Duke and Carolina stu dents would provide the .founda tions of a general attitude which would -render -impossible - such exhibitions of illogical and dan gerous animosity as the near serious outbreak; at the game last December 7. The psycho logical moment for insuring Duke-Carolina good will is ap parently at hand. Russia Plans For the Future In the talk by Mr. Villard Thursday morning one could not help but be tremendously im pressed by the picture of the Russia of the future r ; as I The Nation editor painted it. If pres ent plans are carried , , out the working man's lot will be a com fortable and happy one. Every thing will be done to make the working day v as short as pos sible, recreational facilities are planned for all the factories, the sick and injured will be ably cared for, and the position of the ordinary laborer will be the first consideration in the plans of in dustry. If the rosy future planned by Russian leaders is made a real ity, then the. working man will have every advantage of art, lit erature, culture, and education that the privileged classes in America" now, en joy. Illiteracy has been reduced already from 75 per cent under the old gov ernment to 50 per cent under the new. -Yet we doubt the asser tion of the leaders that at the completion of the five year pro gram of expansion illiteracy will be gone-from Russia. In the Russia of the future the economic structure will not be burdened by. high salaried ex-i ecutives who draw a fat pay check and do no work. Work- ingmen who have proved their worth are being given posi tions as superintendents of fac tories and directors of produc tion. No salary over $112.50 will be paid in Russia. If such a plan works, then certainly great er happiness for the average man who will be on the same level as every one else will re sult. But Russia is yet in the ex perimental stage, and just enter ing upon the x greatest program she has yet planned. If the wis dom of her leaders carries her through her expansion success fully, then, as Mr. Villard says, every nation of the world will be profoundly affected. We may believe that if the principles up on which the Russian govern ment are founded prove sound and workable, other nations will adopt them. The world will look on with keen interest the working out of this great experi ment in government. J. D. M. Readers' Opinions 3 THE JONES-DURANT DEBATE Editor the Daily Tar Heel :. In ' the January Forum ap pears a debate . between How ard Mumford Jones and Will Durant, the query being: "Are Outline Books Softening Our IBrains?" It was really no debate. The redoubtable Jones, writing for the affirmative, slashed unmerci fully at outlines in general, The Story of Philosophy in parti cu lar. Durant presented himself as a lion, not willfully ferocious, but fighting to give'his master, the public, satisfaction of its lust for blood. After presenting himself as ; such, however, he quickly shrunk except in his own estimation (which he bolstered with self-thrown bouquets) to the size of a. lamb. Mumford skinned the lamb and there stood ' (Continued on page four) txt fSotnts - "felt iNk. - Jt.jr - - J By H. J.

Oscars the gentleman who rides the nag at the top of this column o' print, informs us that he is much bothered with the ringing of the bell in Old South every night at 10:15. He jsays that he at last found-out what it is for to warn the co-eds that 10:30, the time for being in their rooms, is apprpaching. What is worrying him is the fact that the bell is rung again at 10 :45, fifteen minutes after all good little girls are safely home and after the. door is pre sumably locked at Spencer. What, asks Oscar, who may have gotten his facts wrong, is the idea of that? . .-, Just before Christmas a list of names was sent out from Jimmie Williams' office to all the merchants in town. The mer chants were warned that the gentlemen included in this di rectory were on the Bad Check list, and were accordingly to use their own discretion in dealing with them for Christmas mer chandise. The list, we are told, was a veritable Who's Who of campus celebrities, almost - a political guide of office-holders and well-known men about col lege. And the columns of the Tar Heel will be opened to poli tical gossip about the impend ing Spring campaign. Almost without exception the merchants are complaining of hard times and lack of money. Here at last is a chance for them to do a little business. Bridge scores, said W. Clem ent Moore at the annual ses sion of the Newspaper Insti tute here, make interesting news and should be played-up as much as possible. The editors of the Tar Heel are considering publishing the scores of a few of the feverish games played hereabouts during Exam Week. Thursday's, Friday's, and Sat urday's issues will be entirely given over to them. And the results of a few hundred games will probably be left out at that. Hint for those who appreci ate the beauties of the campus: Examine the cloisters and court yard of the Episcopal Church by moonlight.

No good can come of an tagonism and strife. Intense rivalry is to be ex pected in all sports, but the spir it of true sportsmanship should be dominant. This does not in anyway rob of loyalty and de votion to one's own institution; it really makes for a loyalty and devotion that wins admiration in defeat as well as in victory Carolina and Duke must get on side by side.- They will grow and expand with the years. Each will number its devoted followers by the thousands. Stu dents and patrons of each are now in every church and com munity. Each year the number will increase. Thus Carolina and Duke are becoming so inter linked in heritage, in patronage and in effort as to make most unseemly any spirit other than friendly rivalry. The utmost mutual good will should prevail. : This does not imply that -these institutions are to . be similar, Indeed they , are expected to be different.
