Its decision! already has invoked the censure of believers in the right of free speech, and it is apt to give the impression to the public that the atmosphere of State College is one of extreme narrowness. To day the council has the oppor tunity of undoing, partially at least, a personal injustice it has wrought and a stand it has taken which we hope is not typical of the attitude of the institution as a whole. It remains to be seen whether the council avails itself of this opportunity to right it self. B. M. "Apple-plexy" STAR REPORTERS T. Herring ' REPORTERS ' A.Alston ".

If an idea is worthy of being passed through the brain, it is worthy of being expressed in public, either by word of mouth or through the press.

Club That State Has All Factors Necessary. "In North Carolina we have all of the factors and qualities necessary to make this the lead ing agricultural state of the Union, with the possible except realization of improvement than !tion of California," Col. J. W. The Abernethy Case Again v This morning the case of . Mil ton Abernethy, State College student, charged with "misrep resenting" the facts in the Hicks thesis dealing with cheating among students, will again come before the student Hcouhcil ' of State College. This time the case will be in the form of an appeal. Abernethy was con victed last Saturday morning, and his suspension from the in stitution for two years has been recommended to President E. C. Brooks, who has the final say-so in the matter. According to the press reports, Abernethy, whose conviction was "rather surpris ing," was "found guilty of re flecting on the college students'? and "was adjudged an offense unto the people of the college.' Yesterday's press also carried a statement by Professor Hicks, author of the thesis. The ques ; tion asked him was whether he thought Abernethy had misrep resented any of the facts con cerned with cheating. To this, Hicks answered, "I don't think he did." It was also stated by the professor, however, that Abernethy did not give due con sideration to a certain preface contained in his thesis. Yet in the face of these things -the expectation of the public that Abernethy would not be convicted (and we think this ex pectation must have been found ed on some basis of sentiment m favor of the accused), and thej criticism, even though it be of the severest variety. It is im possible in any language to say just how utterly foolish one is to keep silent when he really has something to say. Such a prac tice is even more f oolisn 1 that the proverbial error of talking without saying' anything. 1 Freedom of speech and free dom of the press are the very foundation-stones of the great American natfont the, .like, of which is yet to appear. The writer is firmly convinced that the underlying cause .of all dif ferences, brawls, fights, wars,- et cetera, is nothing but misunder standing.. . Misunderstanding is the very root of hate. What the student body of the .University of North Carolina, and the world for, that matter, needs is under standing. If one student .calls another one a- rascal, a fight is apt to occur. The - truth pf ! the matter, however,, is apt-to show that the assailed is guilty of be ing a rascal, or even worse. The accused would not get mad if he were to consider the accusation in its intended light ; that is, en deavor to understand just what prompted the accuser to level the charge against himv Likewise, the student who states that there is something wrong with some branch of the University (or any attachment thereto) is usually merely attempting to ferret out the truth and to ar rive at a condition of under standing. We are attending this Univer sity for a definite purpose. We are sojourning in a liberal cen ter, in a community which has claim to existence on no other premises than those of intellec tuality. Education makes for understanding. What good is education if it is to be stored up within a brain ? What good is an opinion hidden from the pub lic by timidity? The price of si lence is synonomous with the penalty of ignorance. J. C. W. Nazareno Speaks .The junior-senior cabinet of the Y. M. C. A. was addressed by Alfredo Nazareno of Manilla, Philippine Islands, at its regu lar meeting in the Y last night. Nazareno recently returned from the Y conference in Winston-Salem and he spoke on the personalities and impressions he received there.

Colonel Harrelson's address Was the second of a series deal ing with the problems of agri culture to be given before the club this year. New officers : of the Club were elected. They were John. Slater, of New Bern, presi dent; J. M. MacLachlen, Jack son, Mississippi, - vice-president; and Professor S. H. Hobbs,' Jr., of the University faculty, secre tary. ,; . ; "We have the advantage in elimate, which includes rainfall, sunshine and temperature; in the quality of the people who in habit the state ; in the quality of the soil and its adaptability to a great variety of crop growing; and the accessibility to the near by eastern jnarkets," ' Colonel Harrelson said. "Citizens of this colony and state exploited the natural food producing resources and as the lands became less productive they failed to enhance the quan tity production by artificial methods of land improvement. The shortage v caused by con sumption demands over produc tion was made up by imports." He then gave a comparison of the value of the state's produc tion of eight leading commodi ties and of the comsumption of the same commodities. "In these eight items," he said, "our im ports are valued at $137,044,000. This point alone casts an unde sirable reflection on the educa tional forces in the field of agri culture of a state to whose clim ate and fertile soil equal those of North Carolina.'" ,. Blame for the present . de pressed situation in the State's rural communities was laid to failure to practice a more in telligent use of natural resour ces. He suggested as a remedy CASE NEWSPAPER NOT IN FAVOR OF - COUPLING TEAMS News Organ of Ohio School Wishes - To Limit Grid Activities To Ohio Conference. Cleveland, O. (IP) Spurning a pointed suggestion f the Re serve Weekly that the Case and Reserve football teams be com bined, in keeping .with the spirit of academic co-operation recent ly announced for the two insti tutions, whose campuses join heje, the Case Tech couched its reply in the following terms: "If football is first and last a municipal spectacle, let's merge and be quick about it. If it is a campus sport, part of a pro gram of 'every man play his own game,' why; not stay in the Ohio Conference, where some good friends - Oberlin and w ooster among them -.are working with us to advance these ideals? Why not?" Reserve, a traditional enemy of Case on the football field, has practically deserted the Ohio Conference of late years, in an effort to bring "big time" foot ball to Cleveland. As a conse quence she has taken terrific wallopings from Carnegie Tech, Pittsburgh, and similar teams of national strength. - mm rmnm mnt publishers and booksellers do not have any such security; they have to depend on their receipts ? -f TTvrrt colfla tr TfV tVlPir hill??, and they are able to continue in business only so long as they are able to continue doing this. "The comparative unimport ance of solid reading matter in this country is not due to the failure of publishers to meet de- j mands ; it is due primarily to the failure of our schools to create demands. The evidence of this failure may be seen on all sides. "Those of us who are engaged in the business of publishing and selling books know that the great majority of the members of the professional groups lawyers, doctors, teachers, ': preachers, public officials, corporation of ficials, and others make very little effort to keep up with the more important literature of their respective subjects; and much less are they interested in reading and developing personal libraries of general cultural value. "The task of educating public officials and professional groups to the idea that books are neces sary tools for their work is an enormous one, and cannot be accomplished by the unaided ef forts of any one group: whether schools, libraries, publishers, or booksellers.

Douglas, will feel not a little pride to find that her editorial, "Acceptance and Praise of Man," has drawn forth comment from her readers ; for evidently, its daring theme was intended to be (and to her credit I will say that it succeed ed in being) unique and indi vidualistic, and was designed to attract attention. But, I am a pacifist (because I don't want my head shot off and because I don't want to shoot off anybody else's head), so I take mild offense at her statement that we pacifists are fools be cause we do not realize the in nate selfishness of man. As a matter of fact, we do recognize that selfishness in individuals but not in nations. , Wars are started by indivi duals and fought by groups.

Our purpose, while not ignoring selfishness, is to counteract the force of mili taristic propaganda with an edu cational campaign of our own, endeavoring to point out the ul timate futility of war, to de velops saner point of view from which to consider the subject, and to create a world fellowship which will be opposed to armed conflict "between nations. : We are so certain of our fu ture success that' we how dis miss her editorial with a "pooh pooh," arid that's that.
