Tuesday, October 21, 1930 Federation Tackles Problem of Own Size John Lang's North Carolina Student Federation becomes of practical value to : collegians when it discards theories and digs into a study of student gov ernment. This week has been decreed Student Government Week by. officials of the Feder ation. An attempt will be made to familiarize students with the functions of and to increase in terest in student government. The wisdom of organizing the North Carolina students into a federation was doubted both here and at other institutions last spring. There seemed to be too much theory and oratory about the proposition to indicate any practical value to students. Evidently study and investi gation have revealed to officials of the Federation that if their organization was to be of value to students more attention would have to be devoted to. problems with which the officials were familiar. ' This week's program of speeches should not tax the abil ities of the leaders to any great extent nor should it overburden the students with theory. Im provement can be made in North Carolina collegiate self govern ment and the officials may well devote their efforts to improving these and let the oratory come later. The most unnecessary1 - thing we've heard of in some time was a Chicago man and wife going .UM1 LU viuiK tu snot uy sale m inferring, that it .cpn bandits. Dayton Daily News: Jsidered them capable of debat- Lang and Murrow To the Rescue E. R. Murrow, president of the National Federation of Stu dents, comes to the rescue of student government in . North Carolina colleges. Duke Uni versity, a member of the state federation, has given up the self-rule idea, replacing it with a form of proctorship ; other schools, also members of the fed eration, admitted in an organi zation meeting here last spring that student government was unsuccessful with them. Still others said that they had no stu dent government, while here at the University, where the plan is supposedly more effective than at any other place in the state, discipline has become a matter of individual honor. Mr. Murrow's appearance in North Carolina is, therefore, in a degree necessary to the revi val and continued life of stu dent government. We commend John A Lang, state president, who is responsible for the cru sade, for his foresight in at tempting to prevent the immin ent demise of this foster-child of his. With him we join in urging you to hear Mr. Murrow, to be informed of the problems of student affairs and intercol legiate relationships. A member of the University student council has said that it is in a lack of interest in stu dent government and the honor system, due principally to agnos ticism and malinf ormation, that the diseased conditions of these two institutions have originat ed. In reply, we reiterate an idea voiced in these columns last spring : that you can't teach a man in a day to do something that would require, ordinarily, his entire scholastic life to learn and to practice. That is, if student governments to be successful, its ideals and prin cipals must be thoroughly taught, over a period of years, to pre-college students. The single lecture and the reading of a single booklet during Fresh man Week will not turn the trick. We conclude, then, that the efforts of Lang and Murrow, however noble and conscientious they maybe, can have nothing more than a temporary influence on student life and thought their talks, no doubt, will be re membered by the heedful few, forgotten by many more, and almost, if not completely, lost in the passing of another stu dent generation. E. C D. Jr. Inferiority? It is very difficult and, if you like, presumptious to say why people do or do not do things. But sometimes there is a limited number of possible explanations. There are four reasons why there should be only three co-eds in the Phi Assembly and no co eds at all on the debate squad. No, there are only three reasons, for lack of time is neither more nor less than a poor excuse no reason at all. Perhaps the girls are lazy, perhaps uninterested, perhaps suffering from . a per verted sense of inferiority. If they are lazy or uninterested, then they are simply lazy or un interested, and there is no par ticular point in attacking wind mills that neither fight back nor fall down. But if the co-eds have inferiority complexes that is an abused pair of words then we have only one thing to say to them: "The World takes you at your own valuation." The Phi Assembly was in no way obliged, in its 136th year of existence as a forensic body for men, to admit women. The fact that it defied its 'own custom is proof of the fact that the repre sentatives of the Organization considered the women on the campus capable, of speaking from its floor. The fact that the debate squad invited women to its meetings implies, we feel THE DAILY ing. But if an inferiority com-j plex keeps co-eds away from the Phi Assembly and away from the debate squad, then the mem bers of the two bodies will regret their invitations. "The world takes you at your own valua tion. V. D. FOUR DELEGATES FROM UNIVERSITY ATTEND RETREAT (Continued from first page) the state volunteer union for North Carolina, and the nation al volunteer movement as these state and local groups are re lated to it. A series of four addresses and forums relating to these things was led by Dr. Elbert Russell of Duke University. W. C. Huckabee, one of the national secretaries of the stu- dent volunteer movement, led the discussion of the technical points of organization and pro gram. The entire program was in tended to clarify the minds of the students as ta the aims of the volunteer movement, and to stimulate their thought as to work on the campus. Delegates from the University were: Sam Gorham, vice-president of the Y. M. C. A. ; Douglas Kincaid, member of the Y. M. C. A. boy's work committee, and leader of the local High Y club; Al Nazareno, a junior at the University from the Philippine Islands ; and H. F. Comer, se cretary of the Y. The colleges represented were: N. C. C. W., Duke, Wake Forest, E. C. T. C, Shaw, Salem, Dav idson, Greensboro College, State, Mars Hill, and Carolina. SCENERY BEING MADE FOR NEXT PLAYM AKER BILL (Continued from first page) best for packing on top of the Playmaker bus. - When the Tar Heel reporter called on Mr. Selden he quite literally had his cleeves rolled and was rushing the work of construction on the scenery for the new plays in order to get started on the painting by to day. He said that he could use some more students if any cared to do this kind of work. Mr. Westerman said that the Playmakers were suffering just now from an insufficient number of good plays, and that one of his biggest jobs will be to en courage the writing of new plays in order that he may have a greater variety to select from when the , plays to be taken on tour are chosen.

"Y" Mails Out Membership Cards President Ed Hamer and his committee at the "Y" have just finished mailing out the annual Y. M. C. A. membership cards to all students who pledged two dollars or more at registration. In compliance with the National Council ruling the local "Y" can not issue a membership card for less than a two dollar annual payment. There were 650 cards mailed out last Saturday, and others are still making pledges at the "Y" office and being given the mem bership card immediately. The following letter of thanks and information, was mailed with each of the 650 member ship cards last week: "In , consideration of your pledge to the University "Y" made at registration, we are pleased to hand you herewith a membership card good for one year beginning September 20th, 1930. "We call your attention to the four statements on the back of the card which indicates its function and usefulnes. There is a Y. M. C. A. in practically overy city of twenty-five thous and or more population in the United States, and in the prici pal cities of the leading 44 coun tries of the world (a total of 10,400 " Y's" with 1,589,000 members.) Wherever you visit one of these cities the Card will entitle you to the courtesies of a visiting member on trips. Therefore, you should have it in your pocket. "May we take this opportun ity also to thank you for the help you have given in "Y" work at Carolina this year, and at the same time invite you to call on us for special service at any time, and to say that we will be glad to have you join us on any committee work that may appeal to you? Cordially yours, Signed: Ed. Hamer, President." Y CABINETS HEAR MURROW DISCUSS STUDENT REIGN (Continued from first page) ing behind the maority of Euro pean student federations. The governments usually subsidize the organizations, which are more generally political. The history of the American National Federation was spoken of and mention was made of the Travel Department and methods of exchanging debating teams between this country and the European countries. Life Of Communists Related By Farson Negley Farson, who "has been for some years representative of the Chicago Daily News in var ious quarters of Europe chief ly Russia reappears on the publishers' book lists this week with "Black Bread and Red Cof fins" (Century.) It is a book about Russia, but the publish ers emphasize the fact that it stresses concrete Russian men and women rather than Russia in the abstract. Farson has lived in Russia long enought to realize the im possibility of writing a book which will give an accurate pic ture of the whole country at once, so he describes instead, that part of Russia which he knows namely, the thousand and one human beings whom he met, talked with and lived with in nearly every section of the country. The illustrations are all in full color, and are reproductions of many of the Soviet posters which are to be seen in all parts of Russia. Instead of the usual illustrations which show Russia as it appears to outsiders, these illutrations have the virtue of showing how the outside world appears to the Communist mind. U. D. C. Scholarship The main topic discussed at the meeting of the Leonidas Polk chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, at Mrs. Bernard's Tuesday, wTas the scholarship to be awarded to a University student in the fall of next year. Raising funds for this is to be one of the im portant activities of the chap ter in the next few months. The recipient of the scholar ship will be chosen on some sort of competitive basis. E. C.

Or it may show up with a thick, moist skin condition. Or again, with tiny blisters on toes, or a dry ness with scales. ' The fact is, all these symptoms point straight at the ringworm erm known to the boys in cience Hall as tinea trichophy ton. This tiny parasite of the vegetable kingdom has infected about half the men in college, accordingto many authorities. The U. S. Health Service reports that "at least half of all adults suffer from it at some time." Universities as far apart as Cal ifornia and Pennsylvania have found 50 of the men infected. And the co-eds get it too. Little tinea trichophyton has made it self a campus pest.
