REPORTERS Holmes Davis Kemp Yarborough shortcomings, coaches of college athletics immensely surpass their academic brethren in at least one respect, probably the most Important of all -they are genuinely interested in even the most inconsequential of their charges, and express this inter est in individual attention to each man. With them coaching is the main job in life, their means of livelihood their pro fession and the object of their greatest interest. Many college professors might benefit tremendously by associ ating with the athletic coaches to a greater extent. Perhaps they would become imbued with more zeal and enthusiasm for their work, and thereby be transformed into real teachers rather than dull pedagogues with litte liking for their subjects and less for their students.

College Professors -And Coaches of Athletics Many pedants and a few real professors are inclined to scorn athletic directors as parasites upon the system of higher edu cation. But it must be. amit ted that coaches exhibit person al interest in all men who come under their supervision and fre quently give individual atten tion to each of them, which is a great deal more than can be said vast majority of college in structors. Probably the greatest' evil of the modern system of mass -education is that it has eliminated to a great extent warm personal friendships between faculty and students. Far too frequently the modern college professor re gards his classes as necessary evils unpleasant routine affairs to whieh he devotes as little time and preparation as possible. He is preparing a book or conduct ing an experimental or research study ;-his classes are mere side issues, to these things, offering a means of earning a living while he is completing his "great work." To this type of professor the students are uninteresting auto matons, mere names on 4 grade books. v Rarely indeed does he regard them as individual hu man beings, interesting men and women who are attempting; to gain something of real worth irom jhis classes, lney , are units -in; that stodgy conglom eration, known as a class; flunks are to be registered in the-grade book opposite a certain percent age of their names, while A's will be received by a few others. The coldly impersonal attitude exhibited By many professors toward their students is in a large measure responsible for the fact that thousands of al most illiterate men and women are graduated from American colleges and universities every High School - Week . That event toward which hundreds of high school students have pointed for months is now just six , days distant high school week. Nearly every high school in the state has entered debaters, linguists, and drama tists ih the preliminaries which have been held here and there throughout the state. , The much-talked-of trip to Chapel Hill will cap the climax of am bition for those who have been successful in the preliminaries thus far. In the eyes of the home folks and the high school population at large, those who survive the final debate pre liminaries next week and are ex tended the right to compete for the Aycock cup will have annex ed an honor which is second to none. Those of us who have been at Carolina for one year , or more know just what to expect when the high school folk journey to Chapel Hill next week, many of them to get their first glimpse of the State's great citadel of higher learning. Every class room and hall on the campus will be taken up by the ambitious de baters whose speeches were memorized at least a month ago, and which have been rehearsed so much that they recite their "points" with a certain rhythmi cal cadence which cannot escape recognition. But wherein lies the fault of this condition? Simply, that these high school debaters are discussing some thing which is far too big for their immature minds and limit ed experiences. Who can expect the rank and file of high school students to discuss intelligently such matters as the League of Nations, the. World Court, or the Classification of North Carolina property for Taxation ? Indeed, it is quite evident that some of the debaters high school teach ers don'-t know any too much j about topics of this caliber. The time is almost at hand when the high school folk will be seen walking to and fro about the staid old campus of the Uni versity. Some wll appear non chalant ; others will be seen gaz ing in speechless wonder at the marvels of . higher learning. Freshmen will be parading" their newly-acquired knowledge be fore high school girls, with whom they were admittedly on a par a scant twelve months ago. But higher learning accomp lishes wonders! After two or three days of gruelling preliminaries the two teams to compete for the Ay cock cup will be named. Many of the unsuccessful debaters will linger until the final contest. Those who survived one prelim inary at Chapel Hill will brag about it before those who were so unfortunate as to be eliminat ed in the first round. Those who were eliminated last will tell the others that they "'don't rate." Thus the chatter will day night before hundreds of University students, r townspeo ple, and defeated high-schoolers. One of the teams will out-recite the other, and the high school hosts will return to their several dwellings some happy; some disappointed, but all benefited by their sojourn in the land of higher learning. Such is the course of events of that annual occurence high school week. We are convinced that, al though thereas little manifesta tion of real debating in the con tests, high school week is one of the most advantageous institu tions connected with the Univer sity. There is nothing which will do the prospective Carolina freshman more good than a few days on the campus while he is still in high J school. During their stay here for the various contests the contestants get a glimpse of Carolina life while it is functioning at full speed. A previous knowledge of this sort is invaluable to ; the freshman when he enters in the Fall. We heartily endorse the policies and eforts of Mr. E. R. Rankin and invoke the student body to assist him in making this high school week the most succesful one yet to occur. J. C. W. IP sen joints By H. J.

Meditation: Without accept ing the belief of the author , of this book that chance governs life, we may well adopt- his philosophy that accepts without complaint the events that hap- pen to an manKina. inrougn these experiences that are com mon to all we enter into the ex perience of the ages and share in a life that is bigger than we are. Overstreet in his "About Ourselves" thus interprets this experience: "Is it not possible that life may indeed be unduly specific? One thing after an other in a bewildering succes sion. But through all the dis tressing multiplicity of our sepa rate experience does there not run a something which is com mon to all .ages and to all men? When we touch that common something we are made greater than our single selves. We live the common life, share the com mon experience." Prayer : "0 God, who has sent us to school in this strange life, and has set us tasks which test all our courage, trust and fidel ity, may we not spend our days complaining of circumstances or fretting at discipline, but give ourselves to learn of life and to profit by every experience." Amen. JITNEY PLAYERS TO TOUR SOUTH FOR FIRST TLV1FJ (Continued from page one) countered in a long time. All in all an evening in Cherry Lane just now is apt to be anything but a bore." "The Wonder: A Woman Keeps a Secret," the second of the plays which the troupe will present, was written by Mrs. Centlivre in 1714 arid was first produced at the Drury, Lane Theatre. The critic of the Bal timore Evening Sun said of this play which was given in Balti more recently; "All the players are young and likeable as actors and they tickled an amiable au dience immensely. ..."

Shep is one of . the crowd of Carolina students, mostly writers and actors, who have gone to New York in the last three years to make the proverbial fortune. Pen Harri son, Helen Dortch, Al JKahn, and others have played parts on Broadway with varying success. Robbins Fowler, Andy Ander son, and Joe Mitchell are among the Carolinians who have tried their hands . at writing in the big village. Of them all, Shep seems to have had the most suc cess, and he has done it on his own merits. The Playmakers and the campus at large are glad to see him again, and will. probably , callous a few palms tomorrow night. f t t Incidentally, the Jitney Play ers are charging a dollar to non subscribers for the season, and half to subscribers. In our present state, we feel like sadly reproaching, them for not living up to their name. .

Paramount's thrilling drama of the war aces, 'Tfoung Eagles."

"Young Eagles will be the, en tertainment at the Carolina the atre Monday. . While "Wings" was primarily the story of friendship between brother pilots in the American air force, "Young Eagles" im mortalizes the spirit of knight errantry - which existed between the "opposing pilots. These in trepid warriors of the skies bat tled ferociously and defied death daringly, yet they always insist ed on a fair victory in a fair fight. There was a spirit of good-fellowship between the op- lines. Buddy is assigned to con vey Lukas to Paris where the secret service agents believe they can worni military secrets from him. Buddy and Lukas become good friends on the journey. In Paris, Buddy meets and falls in love with Jean Arthur. She dupes him, however; aids Lukas' escape, and leaves with him. Embittered, Buddy returns to the front. Later he meets Lukas in the air and brings his plane down in flames. Lukas tells him that Jean was working under in structions from the American secret service in Paris. In addition to these three well known and popular actors, the cast includes Stuart Erwin, who provided such a riot of fun slf the dumb "Axel" of "Sweetie."
