Strawn Believes Apti tude and Education Are Es sential for Law Practice. In the June, 1931, issue of the North American Review, Silas H. Strawn, former president of the American bar association and now president of the United States chamber of commerce, said "The success of a lawyer during the first five years of practice, as well as in the rest of his career, depends in the main upon two elements : first, his natural aptitude for the practice of law, and second, his educational qualifications. Thus his progress will depend largely upon the extent to which these two prerequisites are combined." Will Shaf roth, adviser to the council on legal education and admissions to the bar, , in a let ter to the Daily Tar Heel states that this section of the bar asso ciation is anxious to get before the college students of the coun try the facts concerning legal education. The American, bar association lias a rule which . recommends that every candidate for admis sion, to the bar should have a minimum of two years of college education, or its equivalent, be fore commencing the study of the law and that, he should hav6 successfully finished a three years' course at an approved full time law school or four years at :an approved part-time school. After he has passed the bar ex amination, some states require him to: pass' the scrutiny of a committee on character and fit ness, to determine whether, in addition to his legal education, lie is a man of sufficient char acter: and nossesses the Artist And Scientist Conflict In Odum's New Southern Saga Howard W.

Weaving a human picture of the south of the past, present, and future, Dr. Howard W. Odum, of the department of so cial science, in his book, An American Epoch, has written an epic of a people. Dr. Odum, better than any other modern writer, has interpreted the Con trasts and paradoxes of I the south with the insight of the student of human nature. He has given a remarkable analysis of Southern psychology, mani fested in its folk songs, its sec tional feeling and its local; cus toms and traditions. In some what the manner of Macaulay, yet in his own distinctive style, Dr. Odum has treated his ma terial in a method that is a de lightful as it is novel. Ten Years of Research Ten years ago, Dr. Odum be gan this study of the Old and New South, rummaging careful ly through much source material in Chapel Hill and elsewhere. The book as it stands today is the result of those years of pat ient study combined with his deep understanding of . the true spirit of the south. Through his two characters, "U h c l"e John" and the "old Major" he has caught this spirit and em belished it with the touch of the artist onto, the printed page. In lire ixxnj ui aim j ncie . o uiiii we have two characters such as only the south could have pro duced,a result of its peculiar social and economic condition. "Uncle John" is the personifica tion of the type upon which the whole social system rested, the backbone of the south. . He was uneducated, but religious and sincere in his faith intne south. Throughout the story Dr. Odum has subtly drawn the character of this bourgeois. The most pic (Continued on last page) STUDENTS PERFECT TELEVISION SET IN IMVEIOTY IAB0RAT0RY o- H. C. McBrair and H. M. Stein, Jr., Sophomores in Engineering School, Hold Claim to One of First Photo-Receiving Apparati ' Constructed by Amateurs in United States. -o - After weeks of -painstaking effort, H. C. McBrair and H. M. Stein, Jr., sophomores in the electrical . engineering school, have succeeded in their attempt to construct a television receiv ing set which, unlike many other amateur efforts, will actually re ceive images. Considering the : non-specialized equipment used much of which the electrical department already owned, the results ob tained have been declared ex- cellent. Supervised by Stainback R. F. Stainback, representing the electrical engineering de partment, supervised the work and assisted in securing the ma terial used. The set used for the reception of the pictures is the regular single-tube short wave radio receiver with five stages of resistance-coupled am plification. . , " The images received are a little more than an inch square; There are two types of pictures sent. The first, the half-tone, appears very much like a news paper picture. The second type is the silhouette. The majority of the images have been produced by. the use of motion-picture film, but faces and figures have PAGEANT AT FAIR TO GIVE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTY Win Be Presented at Orange County Fair in Hillsboro, November 13. One of the outstanding fea tures of the annual Orange County Fair, which takes place Friday, November 13, in Hills boro, will be a pageant descrip tive of various phases of the history of Orange County. Mary Dirnberger, manager of The Book Market, has been appointed director of the pageant by. Mrs. Irene Fussier, of the bureau of community drama in the exten sion division of the University. Miss Dirnberger has collabo rated with the teachers of the county high schools is preparing the outline for the program. There will be no formal dialogue in the scenes, but several of them will have lines composed by the players themselves. The pageant will depict several notable events in the history of the county, such as the arrival of the first trap pers ; the settling of the Vegion by the Scotch, Irish, and Quak ers; Revolutionary war atmos phere ; the founding of this Uni versity; the period immediately prior to the Civil War, a feature of which will be a number of square dances ; and the encroach ments of the machine age on the real life of Orange County. The finale is to represent the" farmer returning to the soil, employing! a live-at-home policy. The presentation,;, boasts . of some Interesting paraphernalia. i Besides using horses, cowsr wag ons, and plows, it will have' the benefit of a number of authentic eighteenth century muskets and some original costumes of differ ent periods. ;. The players in the pageant are high school children from the upper schools of Orange County. Lighting elf ects are to be fur nished by the University Con solidated Service Plant. also been successfuly received. The television receiver itself, to the uninitiated, appears to be a very complicated mechanism. On a large table there are strewn numerous bulky batteries, sev eral pieces of apparatus similar to the ordinary radio set, and a tangled mass of wires which de fies description. On another table is the receiver which trans forms the . meaningless sounds received into light impulses, and, then, into pictures. . ; Results Experimental Stein and McBrair state that the results obtained so far have been strictly of an experimental nature. They are now collabor ating on the construction of a highly-specialized set that will receive a much wider range of the sound-notes, and which will give clearer images. This set, when, completed, will equal any other amateur receiver in the country. ; Work has begun upon the con struction of a sending set which, when completed, will be. one of the few amateur television transmitting sets in the United States. Th'ere are less than two dozen now in operation. .
