Sunday, October 18, 1331 Laws Of Society Are Exacting Two men broke football train ing last week. Everyone, in cluding ourselves, are completely amazed that any men assuming the responsibilities that football men have traditionally taken upon themselves should have broken under the strain and given way to temptation. Some students and alumni may be of a mind to censor under such situations. Pure log ic might convince some that no coach exists who does not pre fer winning to losing, and that all coaches tolerate tempera mental stars as far as they can without doing permanent injury to their own influence and to such stars themselves. The Daily Tar Heel desires that success follow everyone of our athletic teams, but cannot endorse the stand of some who say, "Victory at any price ! Sac rifice standards, ethics, and clean living!" It is unfortun ate that the University having men for two or three years has made so little impression upon them as to fail to cause them to develop strong moral fibers and will powers. Life is a mutual proposition. The individual must deny his appetites, ambitions, and de sires when he runs counterwise to those legitimate appetites, ambitions, and desires of soci ety as a whole. On the mere basis of mathematics fifty or one hundred or twenty-eight hunt " dred men must be given way to by the individual. If any one wishes to succeed, the world growing more complex, he must realize that if he be selfish, he must be selfish in a scientific manner, which manner takes cognizance of the fact that to ar rive at a desired goal it is ab solutely essential that conces sions must be made all along the way to society. The sporting human is he who recognizes the power of so ciety to exact reasonable con formity to authority and rules, whether they be football train ing rules, those of social and moral conduct, or military rules. Wise is he who, although he may not agree with them, conforms to such rules so that he may pre serve his energies for the things which matter more, rath er than run through the cross grain and to his own destruction.

Leisurely Rushing Now that the rushing season is over and approximately three hundred freshmen have been jlured into the various lodges of the campus, there is a -general tendency to discuss post mort ems and to criticise the rushing : system at the University. There seems to be a general sentiment abroad favoring further limita tion on the extent of rushing season next year, advocating a two-week period. This attitude is voiced bv those who are dis-1 content with the present system U. S.

It is not the length of the season charge. For some years the that is so unpleasant; it is the 'slow proceedings of the United degree of concentration. With States' courts have been severely a sigh of regret we hear tales 1 criticized, and especially have of rushing seasons as they the courts themselves been criti were a few years ago, when the cized for having allowed men to periods lasted for three months escape who were undoubtedly and nobody made a fuss over the guilty. frosh but just let them come around to the houses and look the fellows over. No mad scram bling for dates, no false fronts, no trying to be unnaturally pleasant it all sounds like a' replica of Milton's Paradise j Lost. But m the mter-lraternity council got modern, and we have what we have today: hot-boxing, throat - cutting, begging freshmen lor dates, and acting as unnatural as possible. Furthermore, every year there are a number of misfits taken . into fraternities. With the former system this could be avoided for the good of the fra ternities and also the freshmen. A longer season would lead to freshmen being able to judge and be judged more accurately than is the case at present.- At any rate, a shortening of the present period of rushing would tend to make it all the more un pleasant and unsuitable without any asset being gained except that of cutting down on the ac tual time itself, which merit would be far outweighed by the added disagreeableness of what time was left. W.V.S. For The Beauty Of The Campus With a sigh of regret on the part of everyone, the campus saw one of the mighty oaks which grace the campus cut down and sawed into pieces a week ago. Of course, it had to go; it was already dead, and the tree-surgeons say that trees have contagious diseases just like humans. But it does rub against the grain to see some thing destroyed in a few hours that took centuries to build and, more than that, to see man destroy that which he cannot re place. Visitors at the University have always remembered the beauty of the campus; but they also have a few uncompliment ary remarks to give on the sub- ject of the incongruity of its . u cm Lecture, mis iorces US 10 the conclusion that our trees are the source of this beauty. With out them the campus would lose the charm which has character ized it ever since the founding of the University. This is a poor time to recom- mend expenditures of any kind, ! with a hard-boiled legislature but would also serve to protect an interest which is almost as vital to the University as the personnel of its faculty. Tree I surgery is expensive, but if we ! j J.1 P were to compare ine price ui hiring an expert for this purpose moral of which is that ''only and that which wealthy estate owners pay for having just such trees transplanted, the former would hardly be a drop in the bucket. There is a popular song, the God can make a tree." This Is true, but man can save a tree. In the name of the student body, alumni, faculty, and the tradi tions of the University, we im plore the wielders of the budget to make it possible for the school to preserve its natural beauty. W.V.S. . Capone vs. convict a man who is beyond the least doubt guilty of his Thousands upon thousands of books have been written on the subject, as well as an equal num ber of speeches delivered, yet the courts are still the same, Seldom is a man convicted of a crime earlier than six months after he had committed it, and more often is he never convict ed. For several years Al Capone has . been known to have been guilty of illegal practices; yet this is the first time that he has ever been near conviction. Know ing all the time that Capone re ceived his enormous wealth only through unlawful means, the public was satisfied to let him continue. Today for the first time Capone is about to be sent to the penitentiary. The evidence which has been presented proves be yond all possible doubt that the "Windy City" gangster is guilty. There is a possibility of his being given as much as" 32 years in the ''pen," and also fined $80,000, but the question of whether he will be rightfully convicted is one which is yet to be seen. In other such trials the gang sters have been able to place members of the jury or even the judge on their "pay-roll" and thug dther be found not guilty or have a mistrial. Chances for such an action on the part of Capone in this case are small. Every paper of any size in the country has carried a story on the trial; every person of read ing age " in the entire nation is informed of the conditions, as well as the evidence which has been presented, and if Capone manages to "bribe" the court into liberty, the condemnation of the courts will be even stronger than they are now. If he is convicted it will be the "beginning of the end" of the gangsters' trying to defraud the government, but if he is fminrl "nrif rniltv' it. will Vp somewhat of an encouragement to the other gangsters to try the same thing. ''Gangs" can be "nipped in the bud" if Capone is convicted ; it is too good a chance to pass up. C.G.R. Some political prophets are taking Mr. Coolidge's recent si- lence seriously.

After four years of this he is pronounced an educated person, handed a diploma and let loose into the world. Did you ever notice the re sourcefulness among boys and girls in the slum districts of large cities? They know that what they get they must get for themselves. The college student should know the same thing. It is not the college that educates a person. If one is to become educated, one must take steps toward educating oneself. The college itself is merely a means to an end, and offers some fa cilities, together with some hin drances. Someone once said, "Those who can, do; those who. can't, teach." This is true of many of the instructors in our colleges and universities. A too great emphasis is placed upon know ing, with no thought as to doing. Many of the subjects in a uni versity are taught, and memor- ized, only to be forgotten because negie report mistakes the f un they do not tie up definitely with ' damental purposes of a college the realities of life.
