COMMERCE MEN
SHOW DECREASE
INDMCIENCIES
Statistics Show That Fewer Stu
dents Are Enrolled Than
Last Year
The mid-terra statistics com
. piled by Dean D. D. Carroll re
vealed that the number of stu
dents enrolled in the school of
commerce has decreased from
632 in 1930 to 619 in 1931. De
creases in enrollment were
shown in the number of fresh
men, seniors, and special stu
dents, while increases were
shown by the sophomores and
juniors.
The statistics also show that
there is a decline in the number
of failures in the school of com
merce for the mid-term as com
pared to the same period last
year. The per cent of students
deficient in 1930 was 52.6, and
this year it was 49.1 The fresh
man class is the only one in the
school of commerce to show an
increase in the per cent of stu
dents deficient. The per cent of
the freshmen in 1930 was 47.7
and this year the per cent is
53.0.
- The per cent of sophomore
deficiencies decreased from 64.6
in 1930 to 55.6 this year. The
junior deficiencies diminished
from 52.0 per cent to 43.2 per
cent, and the per cent of seniors
and special students fell off from
42.2 to 35.1.
The freshmen seem to be en
countering more trouble with
foreign languages in 1931 than
they did in 1930. French and
Spanish are the only two. fresh
men courses in which the per
cent of deficiencies has shown
increases over that of lst year.
The per cent of freshmen in
French increased from 16.2 in
1930 to 22.4 this year and in
Spanish increased from 26.0 to
31.0. Decreases were noted in
the per cent of freshmen re
ported deficient in English, his
tory, mathematics, geology, and
German. -

Columbia Man Advocates Rigid
System Of College Admissions
Dr. Adam Leroy Jones Asserts That Policy Rather Than Condi
tions Limit the Undergraduate Body of School Having
Enrollment of 35,000 Students.
"The main purpose of a col
lege is to produce as good an
alumni body as possible," said
Dr. Adam Leroy Jones, director
of admissions at Columbia uni
versity for the past two decades,
in an interview Friday with a
Daily Tar Heel reporter. "This
can best be secured by a frigid
system of, admissions," contin
ued Dr. Jones, "so that the best
available material is secured at
the very outset."
While Columbia university
ranks as the largest educational
institution in the United States,
its undergraduate college is com
paratively small. Of the 35,000
students enrolled in the univer
sity, the college claims but 1,800.
Approximately 400 freshmen
are admitted each fall after four
times this number of applica
tions have been considered. Dr.
Jones said, "It is a policy of the
University rather than a condi
tion which limits this number.
We believe that we can get bet
ter results with a small group of
undergraduates. A large col
lege would necessitate increas
ing the faculty and we could not
be sure that our present high
standard would be maintained
under those conditions."
It is the rule at Columbia to
consider many aspects of the ap
plicant for admission. His aca-

Short Ballot At
Junior Gathering

tain, who is opposed to the short
ballot and who believes in the
people having as much part in
the government as possible, ask
ed the class when it left this
campus to take an active part in
the local activities of their own
communities..
He discussed the Brookings
report which has advised the
state to elect only the governor
and let him appoint the remain
ing officers. Fountain said,
''When you leave the campus,
don't ever fall into the false, doc
trine that some super-man can
do everything for the state. The
greatness of North Carolina lies
in the fact that it is a state of
great communities."

demic record, his activities, his
personality, and his interests are
each taken into account along
with the impression he may
make in a personal interview
which ninety per cent of the ap
plicants receive. Students of
high standing are not required
to take entrance examinations,
but they must take either the
Thorndike intelligence test or
the scholastic aptitude test.
Higher Standards
Dr.' Jones believes that eacn
institution must formulate its
own admission standards and
regulations subject to the con
ditions under which" it exists.
"Columbia, having no great ob
ligation to the general public has
freer rein than a state institu
tion such as North Carolina. The
tendency today in universities
and colleges is more and more to
evaluate the applicant on points
besides his scholastic record."
As examples of this, Dr. Jones
cited the fact that Harvard ad
mits many freshmen who mere
ly stand in the highest seventh
of their classes, and tha't Yale
frequently requires examina
tions in only senior high scliool
subjects. But both these uni
versities are now considering
character and extra-curricular
achievement more than ever be
fore. '

Despite the fact that Miss Ris

at more than $2,000, her person

is all contained in a small over

ing more in the line of personal
baggage, she travels for weeks

According to information re
ceived from a confidential source,
the content of this diminutive
kit-bag has been revealed as fol
lows: one sparke silk dress for
emergency social purposes, a
minimum quantity of silk lin
gerie, personal toilet articles, and
two books. The silk material
can be compressed into very
small space. In order to con
serve the space still further, Miss
Risdon carries such sundries as
tooth-paste in "ten cent store
sizes.
Laundry, while on the road, is
one of the main problems of the
troupe. Much of it is hurriedly
done, Miss Risdon confesses, in
the theatre dressing-rooms dur
ing time between the final cur
tain and train departure. More
than once, she adds, members of
the troupe have been forced to
rush to the train in damp gar

drying-heat from theatre radi

'Co-eds Dress Better Than Women
College Students' Says Miss Lee
. o -
"Professional Collegiate" Compiles Facts About Girls in Colleges;
Finds That Co-Educational Schools Are Normal in the
Way They Bring' Men and Women Together.
o -
Cocktails, clothes, afid compe
tition are the major interest of
America's college women in the
opinion of Frances Lee, "profes
sional collegiate." Pretty Miss
Lee, herself out of college only
a couple of years, has unearthed
some unusual facts in her visits!
to one hundred American col
leges to study the college, girl.
, One of the most interesting
facts in connection with the
controversy between co-education
and segregated women's
colleges is that clothes play a
much larger part in the life of
the co-ed than the girl in a wo
man's college, according to Miss
Lee.
- "At co-educational colleges,
girls dress for men all ,the time,
and they tise a great deal of
make-up. They go with more
or less the same group of peo
ple, and are seen in more or less
the same setting. So their idea
is to get as many changes of
costume as -possible with the
money they have."-
Miss Lee "laments the fact
that girls in women's colleges
will wear just any old tweed
skirt and sweater blouse around
the campus, and then blow all
their money for one or two
week-end outfits when they go
to football games or house par

seemed aa if every man hit the
Carolina fullback but only John

the Davidson twelve yard stripe.
With another touchdown loom
ing, the Tar Heels Were held for
downs by a stubborn Davidson
line. Pearce, as usual, kicked
out of danger, and so went an
other possible marker.
Carolina's third and final score
came in the last session by vir
tue of some brilliant work by the
second stringers. White and
Phipps alternated at smashing
the Wild Cat forward wall, tak
ing the ball to Davidson's one
yard line where Phipps carried
it over. Lassiter kicked the
extra point, making the score
20-0. , ,
Davidson was only able to keep
the score down by Charley
Pearce's southpaw kicking. Time
after time, Pearce repulsed Caro.

from where the Tar Heels had
to start another march down the

ing the week, but make up for
lost time on the week-end.
"There is a further difference
in the attitudes of the two types
of colleges," Miss Lee continued.
"In co-educational schools there
is a strong competition for
clothes that eastern women's
colleges lack entirely." This
same holds true for social com
petition, Miss Lee believes. "
think the sororities are respon
sible for many a broken heart,"
she states. "A girl's entire col
lege life is greatly affected by
whether or not she makes a
sorority, and the one she wants
to' make. In a woman's college
a girl has more chance to stand
on her own, and not be classi
fied in this or that group."
In spite of these disadvan
tages, Miss Lee thinks that co
education has numerous ad
vantages over the women's col
leges. "Co-educational univer
sities certainly are more normal
in the way they bring men and
girls . together on the campus
daily. When the men are
around all the time, the week
end parties and such do not
loom so important. . Co-education
gives girls a much more
balanced existence.
