Prince, Jr. : Stuart Carr Donald Seawell Thursday, May 29, 1930 Again We Lose ' j News of Dean Addison Hib bard's resignation comes . as no surprise. We cannot expect a man of his ability and accom plishments to remain here when he has such opportunities off er ed him as those which' North western University offers. Hav ing had its inducements to teach ers recently mihimized ? by "a seemingly short-sighted legisla ture, the University cannot hope to retain men of Hibbard's cali bre when broader fields are opened" to them. It gives us a feeling of pessimism, in contem plating the University's future to think that the name of Hib bard must be added to a list which already includes such il lustrious names illustrious in the light of the University's past reputation as Chase, Foer ster, Jones, and Potter. We shall feel keenly the ab sence from this campus of Dean Hibbard. Being vitally interest ed in improving the quality of teaching he has gained the dis tinction of being one of the few men in the University who are real teachers as well as scholars and men of research. During his entire stay here he has manifested an interest in aca demic life not merely from the professor's point of view, of which so many , of our faculty men are guilty but from the standpoint of the student. His friendly interest in the indi vidual student has given him a reputation by reason of which he is generally known as the student's friend. To say the least, his presence and his work here have been a tremendous asset to this institution. It has been said that we do not appreciate our great men until they leave us, and the type of man whom we are losing this year makes us all wonder about the future of the University of North Carolina. Perhaps we will not realize until the best men in the faculty have gone that a university to be great must have a faculty composed of great men. -B. M. Many will agree with Candi date Shaw in hoping Wake will have only one primary. Thugs, Yeomen, Countrymen? It is reported that although there were only nine hundred Denishawn Dancers tickets sold there were about sixteen hun dred persons in the audience the night of the performance. When the manager of the dancers dis covered this he declared that he would never bring another troupe or act-to Chapel Hill. He said that the handling of this University's audience was the worst he had ever seen any where. More disgraceful yet was the disturbance raised by the crash ers both before and after they had made good their forced en trances. The ones on the out side of the fence yelled and whistled and threw rocks against the tin score-sign; those on the inside sat on the grass directly in front of the reserved seats, laughed, jeered and made things generally uncomfortable for the dancers, the pianist, and the au dience. Miss St. Denis herself afterward declared that she wished she and her dancers had performed at N.C.C.W. instead of here, because she was sure they would not have been given such a- barbarous reception there. Not much editorializing can be added to these statements. They are just accusations, and they makfi this student body look pretty black and hopeless. J. J. Again, The Negro Question "It is said that about 400 Negroes have been registered in Raleigh to vote in the Demo cratic primaries. Every name should be taken off the books Southern Negroes are all Repub licans and have no right to vote in the party of White Suprem acy," says an editorial writer in the Raleigh News and Observer a needlessly antagonistic and prejudiced statement in support of the purely political editorial policies of that paper. In the News and Observer . i tTT - J 3 again, tms time on weanesuay, another statement on the above subject appeared: "The Negro is a Republican and those who advised the Raleigh Negroes to register as Democrats were enemiesv of Democracy and White Supremacy. This is true, no matter what they call them selves." On the same day that the first of these editorials appeared in the Observer the Baltimore Eve ning Sun carried a featured news story and an editorial on the recent organization and ap pearance of a Negro symphony in that city. In addition there was published in the Baltimore paper a regular column devoted to the interests of the city's col ored people. In the near future the negro population of the nation must be given a definite answer to its demands for a place under the sun. It is inevitable that such a crisis must come in interracial relationships. The rapid devel opment of the negro race and the appearance of capable lead ers rising from this isolated and insoluble portion of the contents in the "melting pot" indicate this trend of affairs. Shall the revolution be a peaceful and bloodless one, or shall it be marked with the out break of inner-corroding hatred and perhaps even race riots? An outward display of hostile enmity and contempt such as the Observer editorial indicates may serve to drive the negroes to the latter alternative. On the other hand the sympathetic en couragement offered by the Bal timore writer can be a factor in helping the negro to work out his own plan of adaptation. The music critic of the Sun hailed the interpretations of the Baltimore negro symphony as indications of the development of an individual Afro-American I culture. , That is exactly thedi-l rection in which the efforts of our negroes must aim. it can be done but - not while the ex isting anti-negro element con tinues to spread its uncompro mising propaganda. However, there is promise for a change in public opinion. The rising generation is still further removed from slavery days than the retiring one. Furthermore, it is being educated to consider the problem from a different point of view, and so develop ing, paradoxically enough, an in different interest in -the fate of the negro. An example, brought directly home to the University : the an nual Negro Issue of the Caro lina Magazine. If we would be more progressive in this matter, we should have more of such things. E. C. D., Jr. I Campus Life The Laugh's On North Carolina Again, North Carolina's hypo critical insincerity is the just object of ridicule. Maryland, and especially Baltimore, has recently enjoyed a sly chuckle at the expense of the state. The Baltimore Evening Sun comments in a caustic and sar castic manner concerning the probability of moving the pro hibition headquarters from that city: "However, the next State to the South voted dry (refer ring to the wet votes of Mary land and Virginia), and it, too, is in this circuit. Why not move the prohibition headquarters down into North Carolina? Greensboro, for example, is not much farther South than Rich mond, and the Tar Heels pre sumably would not object to having the spies, snoopers and agents provacateurs of the Fed eral Government quartered among them. Indeed, these gen try, whom Baltimore betrays a tendency to regard only as pe culiarly objectionable, down there might attain the stature of heroes. "To Tarheelia with the head quarters, by all means." As long as the leaders and cit izens of North Carolina lay themselves open to such scath ing attacks by using old-fashioned, out-dated political tac tics ; until they desist from such unsophisticated and transparent attempts at moral integrity, and political "saintliness," 'they may expect to be the laughingstock of the nation, known to the world as a bunch of bootlegging hypocrites.

Other interesting items which occur rather frequently are : memberships in societies, cam pus activities, self-help in school, private income, hobbies and rec reations, use of tobacco or alco holic stimulants, financial obli gations, ever been "fired" from a position, etc. The "personality" of a man and the general personal im pression he makes on another person, of course, cannot be re corded on an application form. This consideration is so impor tant that practically all em ployers require a personal inter view before an offer of employ- Personnel Paragraphs By Henry Johnston, Jr. ment is made., The man who has proved that he can work and do a good job is at a premium. He often gets a poise and confidence in his ability that can' be had in no other way. The man who has never worked may be equally de sirable in every respect, but tnere is no way ior tne pros pective employer to tell how he will react under working condi tions. The employers who have visited the campus this year have looked with favor upon the man who has "done something." There is an increasing de mand for college trained men in business today. The fact that a man attended college, however, does not necessarily make him a desirable man. The general manager of a large department store recently said to me, "Many people say that knowledge is power. I heartily disagree with this statement and sav tha power is the ability to apply this knowledge." He followed this remark by saying that the de mand is for those men wTho have applied themselves and can profit by what they learn. An employer always wants to know why a man is leaving school before graduation. Un less he has some good reason, such as financial difficulties, it is held against' him. In 23 out of the 25 cases con sidered above, the final accep tance of a man is dependent upon the outcome of his physical ex amination. If he cannot pass an examination about the equiva lent of the 'one the average life insurance company requires, he may lose his opportunity at the last minute. How many stu dents think of this point during their college days? . "When a photograph is asked for with an application, it should be a business-like one," says the Goodrich Rubber Co. represen tative. "When a man sends us his picture taken in a golf outfit or in a social group, it always creates a bad impression." An application form should always be filled out completely, neatly and according to any di rections that may be given on it. Students often hurt their chances by carelessness in these respects. In considering a doubt ful case last year, an employer decided not to make an offer to one of our seniors who had failed to sign his name in the space set apart for it' on the applica tion blank. Lears Entertain Engineers Professor and Mrs. John-E. Lear entertained 15 members of the graduating class of electri cal engineers and faculty mem bers of the electrical engineering department with a steak supper and a swimming party at Spar row's pool Tuesday evening. Those attending besides the graduating class were Mr. and Mrs. Hill, Mrs. George F. Bason, and R. F. Stainback and E. W. Winkler of the department of electrical engineering. Delicious and Refreshing CiL. il m What kind of men are busi ness concerns looking for? What social background, personal qualifications and past experi ences make a man a desirable prospect? The employer answers these questions as best he can by the type of questions contained in his application blank for employ ment. In an effort to determine what information is of most gen eral interest, I have counted the number of times that various items occur on 25 application forms, used by such firms as American Tel. & Tel. Co., Good rich Rubber Co., United Fruit Co., General Electric Co., Mont gomery Ward & Co., etc. ' Listed below are some of the items which occur most fre quently and the number of times of occurrence : Work experience, 25; educa tion (graduate? record? major? degree?) , 24 ; married, 24 ; phys ical condition 23; personal ' de scription, 22; special training, 22; date and place of birth, 21; dependants, 20 ; position desired, 19 ; personal and business refer ences, 19 j salary earned in past Your good deed for today i i 1 theIPiawm Cwmtlnri R1m '"- FamoM Sport Champions"' Coca-Cola Orchestra --Erery Wednesday 1 0t30 to 11 paa.
