during freshman week, and for
get all they've heard during
rushing season. The fraternity
men settle to the routine of col
lege life without advice.
Purging The
Dialectic Senate
of
be
The present membership
the Dialectic Senate is to
congratulated upon its recent
decision to drop the roll mem
bers who fail to attend a reason
able number of meetings. An
other wise ruling regards the
matter of Yackety Yack statis
tics. Officials of the senate are
to place in the hands of the
Yackety Yack editor a list of
men whose activities Jn the so
ciety have been sufficiently po
tent to make them eligible to
list under their picture the
words "Dialectic Senate."
The above ruling is designed
to eradicate a grievance of long
standing; namely, the appear
ance in the Yackety Yack of
some three hundred claims of
membership in the senate, when
the active membership seldom
exceeds thirty-five. The care
fully edited list which the year
book editor will be given will
exclude men who have attended
one meeting in three years, for
example. Such persons will have
to go'out for football or boxing
for a day or so in order to swell
their statistics by such impos
ing (and falsely pretentious)
terms as "varsity football," or
"varsity boxing." .
Along with the influx of an
unusually large number of new
members, has come a determina
tion to make membership in the
senate something to be sought
after, rather than a medium
through which fraternities can
add to the activities of their
freshmen.
Such rejuvenating policies as
those already referred to indi
cate that the Dialectic Senate is
hitting a new stride. J. C. W.

Pledge Day
Brings Relief . ,
The pledging of several hun
dred freshmen by fraternities
this afternoon will create widely
different emotions in the two
principals the rushers and the
rushees. Relief will be expressed
by. the rushers ; regret by the
rushees.
Rushing here tends to create
illusions in the minds of first
year men. Finding themselves
the object of simultaneous inter
est amoifg several fraternities
causes freshmen to over-estimate
their importance. When they dis
cover that fraternity men are
concerned over, their choice of
fraternities, the freshmen feel
that their decisions are worth a
great deal more than they really
ate. . ; "
These ideas are dispelled
shortly after pledge day. Popu
larity doesn't help the new men
to pass examinations, and cer
tain pledge buttons mean Jess
than nothing to professors. They
discover that" although they were
of importance to the fraternities
they meant nothing to the life
of the, campus. Their decisions
did not alter the trend of events
here. ;
But to the fraternity men
pledge day brings relief. During
the two weeks they have neglect
ed their work, and' refused their
responsibility. Mid-terms ap
proach and their time may be
devoted to more profitable pur
suits than rushing freshmen.

Co-Edna Comments
By Edna MoHsette
Now that rushing is over, the
active members of the two soror
ities can live a life of compara
tive ease. It has suddently been
discovered that pledges have
the very nicest kind of voices
over a telephone and it's so con
venient not to stop all conver
sation when the phone rings be
cause you know some sweet lit"
tie pledge will come and knock
quietly on the door and tell you
that someone wishes to speak
with you. It's so much more
lady-like than yelling at the top
of one's lungs.
One member of this column's
admiring public has asked for
something original. Since some
one has said that nothing is
original we hope that last week's
column satisfied that request.
At last the common hue and
cry that is raised at the co-ed
shack about dinner time of,
"Honest I'd love to but I've got
so much to do, I'd better to to
the library" or, "I'm going to
be awfully busy, I have 500
pages to read at the library to
night," has been varied. One
blue-eyed darling made the re
mark last night over her des
sert that "If I didn't have so
much work to do I'd go to the
library." Well, you know the
one about the honest confession.
I saw a tiny black and white
kitten sitting , forlornly on a
porch the other day, and I sud
denly realized that up to then I
had seen no cats in Chapel Hill.
Dogsvthere are in plenty : dogs
that walk about the campus
with nonchalance and I've-seen-it-allness
of seniors. They have
a possessive air about them, as
though the campus inherently
belongs to them alone. So thcry
have banded together and dri
ven the felines to other fields.
I am sorry that this has hap
pened. I like cats. They are
noble animals. You never see
a cat fawning at your feet, wag
ging its tail, and begging to be
petted. It. is you who must make
the first advances to a cat. If
she likes you, she will let you
have the satisfaction of strok
ing her back, all the w-hile main
taining her dignity with a lofty
reserve. And it she isn t pleas
ed with you, she will walk quiet
ly away, and not growl peevish
ly like a dog.
The dog can never hope to at
tain the dignity and poise of the
cat, and I suppose this is the
reason for his eternal hostility
towards her. The cat can point
proudly to her ancestors, the
tiger, leopard, and the lion
lord of the jungle. But the dog
? Well, he would rather not
have it mentioned that his fore
fathers were the wolf, the jackal
the petty thieves of the ani
mal kingdom.
Construction is already under
way on a huge dirigible, the
Akron, to be delivered to the U.
S. government by May, 1931.
This will be faster than all pre
vious airships; will carry five
airplanes in a hanger built with
in the hull ; and will have mount
ed at strategic . points sixteen
rapid-fire, high pressure guns.
It will be inflated with helium,
the non-inflamable gas, and ex
perts predict that it will be al
most invulnerable to gun fire.
In other words, it will be the
most powerful and most deadly
fighter that ever cruised the
skies. It will also be the most
expensive.
This extravagant expenditure
of money on war machines will
lead to one result. England
will become incensed at her loss
of supremacy in the air, and will
build an even larger, faster, and
more deadly airship than the
Akron. France, Russia, and
Japan will accept the challenge
and enter the race for the dom
ination of the air. Millions of
dollars and much valuable labor
will be wasted in the construc
tion of these air machines whose
sole functions are to destroy.
There can be only one outcome
to this mad race for supremacy
in armaments war. It will come
and when it does, the civilian
population who stood aside meek
ly while the military brains of
their governments feverishly
carried tjirough their programs,
will bear the brunt of the war's
punishment. When the people of
the world stop supporting all
military preparations, then only
will war become a myth of the
past. But so long as they con
tinue tomaintain their present
indifferent attitude, just so long
will war continue to be inevitable.
one flashy backfield ace out of;
the fray. Cerney rates the "Vols!
as in a class by themselves, and
picks them to be near the top
when the curtain rings down the
football season.
Each year at some principal
city of the United States, there
is a meeting of the prominent
football coaches of the country.
This year the meeting is to be
held in New York City, Decem
ber 29. At each meeting several
coaches are selected to deliver
talks on different aspects of
football. The coaches who have
this honor bestowed upon them
have to merit this honor by
coaching some team up to a point
of distinction in the previous
football season. Collins has done
exactly that, having introduced
the Notre Dame - system at
Chapel Hill, and has put the
Carolina team among the best
in the country. No doubt, Col
lins was selected because of the
fine work he has done at Caro
lina, and as a result of Caro
lina's victory last year over the
"Golden Tornado," 1928 Nation
al champions.
After answering many , and
varied questions sent in by en
thusiasts, Collins finally wound
up his radio talk by giving the
impression that Carolina would
use every trick known to them
in order to whip the University
of Georgia at Athens tomorrow.

THE MODERN PARTNERSHIP
Like every other modern industry, the Bell
System requires the combined effort of scien
tist and salesman. The commercial man has
again and again shown the public how to use
new products of the telephone laboratory,
and how to make new uses of existing
apparatus.
Transmitting pictures and typewritten mes
sages over telephone wires are services right
now being actively promoted. Scientific selling
by long distance is among many ideas origi
nated to increase the telephone's usefulness.
In short telephony is a Business, with prob
lems that stimulate commercially minded men
and a breadth of opportunity in step with the
fast moving world of industry today.
