Clark Bill Jarman Thursday, September 25, 1930 Fraternities And New Men There will be a number of new men who will fail to receive in vitations to visit Fraternity houses during the opening days of rushing season. Contrasted to these there will be others who will receive invitations from over half the fraternities here. It is likely that there, is little difference between the two groups boys. The difference lies in the fact that some were well known as in the secondary schools, or possessed friends who were connected with the frater nities here. The others did not. Without attempting to belittle any one'e opinion of himself we think this matter xof receiving invitations is entirely a matter of luck and does not truly reflect the new man's own personality. No doubt, some of the men in vited are men well known and exteremely popular as new men go. . But others, possessing v equally as attractive personali ties will fail to receive invita tions today. Here there are enough frater nities for every man who is so inclined to gain entrance to one. It may be a matter of time, but if a man wants to he is likely to get his bid before leaving. So we advise those who expect to and fail to receive invitations not to be discouraged. All the invitations, amount to, after all, is an introduction to a rather trying period of rushing when both new and old men alike are likely to suffer spells of brain storm. ' : ' OPEN FORUM Editor the Daily Tar Heel: Perhaps the writer of the edi torial, "Are Cheerleaders Be coming Obsolete," is correct; perhaps there has not been a cheerleader who has added dis tmction to student cheering since Kike Kyser gave up the honor for radio broadcasting. However, that point may rest. But may I question the writer of this critical, but little help f ul, comment as to just how much distinction there actually is in leading student cheering? Does he realize that it requires endless time and effort that too often results m only a half hearted response on the part of a rather luke-warm student body that it entails more re sponsibility than the mere mo tions performed at the games? Regular freshman rehearsals, pep meetings, and cheer squad training are only a f ew of the matters that he ;mi:st not only entirely arrange but personally supervise. Through each game he must be in continual action requiring the most strenuous type of physical exercise; be sides this he must sustain a high state of optimistic enthusi asm, win or lose, that he might literally tear a respectable yell frpm the student body. And to what reward ? None ; not even a monogram such as given in our most minor sports. If. things go all right he has merely done his duty ; if not he receives much criticism and more horselaughs. I ask you then, Mister, why any one should wax enthusiastic over our cheering problem? Could you give a suggestion in stead of a criticism? It would be more in line with what we need. Finally, the student body should remember that the posi tion of Chief Cheerleader can not be properly handled by a sophomore. We learned this last year. And it requires more than popularity; it demands wit, ingenuity, originality and stick ability. BILL CHANDLER, Chief Chearleader 1928. RIGHT ANGLES By Vass Shepherd The annual invasion of the campus by the freshman class is well under way. Already the sale on radiators has decreased to almost nothing. Soon these mystified youths, who have been aimlessly wandering around corridors and offices with vapid and confused countenances, will develop ' into the sophisticated collegians with an impromptu but acceptable excuse always ready for avoiding any 8 :30 class. But between now and then must come a more confused period : . rushing season, when the doors of the heretofore in accessible lodges will open to ad mit the still 'perplexed f rosh to a gullible babble of sales-talk that would make a Fuller-brush man resign and take up knit ting. But go ahead, little fresh man, and take it all in. You will be king for a day if for only a day. One of the best apartment houses in town has closed its doors to University students, due to lack of morality displayed by undergraduate t e n a nt s throughout' last year. All we need to reform us completely now is an mi unction against co-eds climbing in and out of rumble-seats. Professor L. J. Bell spent last summer abroad studying Euro pean customs. tie probably spent more time still studying how to get his baggage through those in New York, if he is like the majority of American trav elers. x 1 Coach Crayton Howe demon strated great strategy in an nouncing when he did the open ing of boxing practice. After sampling the varsity in a light scrimmage Tuesday and Wed nesday, many of the freshman football adherents are in favor of taking up boxing as a milder and more pleasant pastime. . Now that all the sororities in sist on breaking faith with all Latin derivations and call them selves fraternities, what is to become of the ban on co-eds be ing in fraternity houses ? And what's to keep us out? The appearance of a man in the co-ed dormitory late Wed nesday night is reported to have created quite a disturbance. We wonder whether the disturbance was between , the girlies wanting to keep him out and those want ing to keep him in. ' It has been rumored that cer tain fraternity men have been violating the silence period and speaking to freshmen. Now that it is illegal to speak, they insist, but later in the year, when everything is over but the shouting, they .will not stoop to such a level. Oh, well, it's a small "woild" after all, and that goes for your aunt Susie! Co-Edna Comments By Edna Morisette Between yawns caused by a sleepless night, a couple of heart attacks, to say nothing of mild hysteria, ye columnist, with all the eloquence she is able to muster, herewith endeavors to shame a certain blond, curly-1 haired male individual (identity unknown-dammit) for throwing the co-ed shack into a panic night before last by absent mindedly climbing onto the second floor roof and conscious ly or unconsciously gazing into the. window. Poor Tom (of the peeping var iety) , if he could only have wit nessed the ensuing pandemon ium . Girls, dozens of girls, hundred of girls, millions of girls fell over each other in their haste to reach the source of the "blood-curdling scream that rent the midnight air" (will someone please page Philo Vance ? ) v It is probable that it would take the combined efforts of Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chan, and the highly respected Dr. Fu Manchu to establish the identity of some of those pajama-clad figures. We are afraid many of the young men who were possib ly , at that moment dreaming of her softly waving hair and her ruby lips would have experienc ed a terrible jolt to see her with cold cream smeared over that "skin you love to touch," and her lovely hair invisible under a camoflauge of water-waving combs, bobby pins, and braids. , The story is told by some that the intruder must have been at least ten feet tall with great eyes as big as plates, (note the omission of the proverbial sau cers) but most of us think that someone with an -over dose of Orange County Laughing Water did it for a prank. At any rate, Mr. Whoevery youare, won't you let us know next time before you pay us such an impromptu visit; so we can look our 'best for you instead of catching us in all the various forms of dress and undress. Afterthought : Measurements are being taken for the foot prints on the roof and the fin gerprints on the window sill. Silly boy! Whatever made you think that tennis shoes could keep you from being overheard on a tin roof. UNIVERSITY MADE STATE WIDE BY EXTENSION WORK Various Activities of Division Serve Entire State. : R. XV. Madry Someone has said that the ex tension services of the Univer sity of North Carolina have made that institution's campus state-wide. This does not appear to be an exaggeration when one considers the variety of ways in which the extension division has placed at the di sposal of the people of the state the resources of the University. - " Extension classes located in all parts of the state, radio lectures, extension library ser vice, reading courses, commun ity dramatics, interscholastic activities, and a variety of pub lications these are some of the many agencies through which this state-wide service has been rendered. It is conservatively estimated that the division serves more than 40,000 persons each year. Starting as a bureau of exten sion in 1912 under the leader ship of Dr. L. R. Wilson, Uni versity librarian, the idea of University extension was clari-1 f ied and expanded under the ad ministration of the late - Presi dent Edward Kidder Graham. In 1921, in conformity with standards established by the Na tional University Extension as sociation, the work was organiz ed as a major division of the University by President Harry W. Chase. Chester D. Snell ser ved as director -of the division from then until 1928, during which time there took place, both in the organization and in its field of service to the state, a remarkably rapid period of growth and expansion. This growth has continued under the guidance of Russell M. Grum man, who has been director since 1928 and who was acting director from 1926 to 1928 while Mr. Snell was on leave of ab sence. Program for Adults Extension work is now recog nized by college and university' administrators as one of the major functions of the modern university. The extension di vision at Chapel Hill is essen tially the administrative agency through which are conducted the extension activities of all of the departments of the University. Within recent years, the division has developed a specialized pro gram of adult, general and pro fessional education unrelated to the work of the resident depart ments. The postgraduate dental courses are illustrative - of one means of meeting such a de mand. Other educational ser vices are being offered men and women whose formal schooling ,has ended, but who still desire to continue their education re-j gardless of higher academic a wards. In meeting the demands of this growing group, the future of the University extension di-: vision, as an agency for adult education, holds the greatest promise of development. At the present time, the di vision, which is largely self supporting, : is' organized and prepared to make available to the people of the state a great many of the educational offer ings now enjoyed by students in residence at Chapel Hill. More than 150 courses are offered by correspondence instruction. Many of these courses are adapt ed to the study habits and in terests of adult students who do not wish to receive college cre dit.. They may be pursued by any mature person, regardless of his previous education, provided he satisfies the instructor of his ability to follow the course of study profitably. Some Concrete Examples The phrase, "Study at Home," may well be added to Governor Gardner's slogan, "Live at Home," since the state has, in this and other ways, made pro vision for those who seek oppor tunities for more learning. The "Know Your Own State" move ment is being advanced and pro moted by means of, home study. Extension courses, taught either by correspondence or in exten sion classes, bring modern topics of vital importance directly to the people. Without doubt there will be a demand this year for courses related to the : present economic problem. 1 The experience of the division would seem to indicate that the citizens of North Carolina are looking increasingly to the Uni versity f or educational guidance ana assistance, since its or ganization in 1921, the division has registered a total of 22,692 correspondence and extension class students. While most of these students have never been on the campus, they have never theless come into vital contact with the University and have profited by its existence. There is not space here to ex plain the functions and accom plishments of the various depart ments" of the extension division. rorfim rnnrrpto PXamnleS. 6- lected at randon, may serve to illustrate, however, the effective way in which this University agency is serving North Caro lina. In 29 centers over the state in which classes were conducted j for teachers this year there were enrolled 1306 individuals. In the extension classes for doctors and dentists there were enrolled 905 physicians and 250 dentists. A total of 1500 were registered for correspondence courses by mail, 65 members of the faculty having assisted in this plan of offering instruction. As a part of the extension library service 6,667 packages containing 30, 341 books and pamphlets were sent to individuals during the year; and 600 groups with a membership of around 10,000 were assisted with reading study courses. A total of 36,000 peo ple attended lectures arranged by the extension division in co operation with local organiza tions. Between 500 and 1,000 persons attended short courses and institutes. The University News Letter was sent to 15,000 people. Three hundred and twelve high schools took part in the annual high school debating contest. One hundred and forty-seven persons enrolled for the two study tours, one across the continent and the other , to Europe. CO-EDS REPULSE BLOND INTRUDER Continued from first page) made myself small as I could and my roommate ran out and left me.

Investigation proved that the marauder had not returned for lost shoes, the fourth button of his coat, finger prints or any other means of identification that perchance he had left behind. Instead an over-zealous maiden had locked herself in so securely that she couldn't get' out and instead of being comforted that none could get in and she was safe for one night at least, she rent the air with piteous lamentations and i. 2. 3.
