CHAPEL HILL, N. C SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1932
Voodhouse Gives
For Al Smith's Present Stand
Government Professor Answers Editorial Comment That Smith's
Action Was Sad Discharge of Obligation the Former
Candidate Slay Feel
When Alfred E. Smith, 1928
standard bearer of the Democra
tic party, stated that he would
take the unsolicited nomination
of the party this year if it were
offered, at least one person iji
Chapel Hill did not agree with
the Raleigh News and Ob
server's editorial comment that
Smith's action was "a sad dis
charge of any obligation the
former candidate may feel to
ward the party" and "distinctly
unfortunate." "j
That man was Professor E. J.
Woodhouse, of the history and
government department who, in
an open letter to the Raleigli
paper justifying the Smitli
stand, qualified himself "as a
life-long Democrat of the Jef
ferson and Wilson school who

People laugh and talk in shouts,
gayly. Dog teams sweep up and
down the streets. The music of
a band drifts with the swirling
flakes. The third winter Oympic
Games are in their stride.
More than three hundred win-
ter sportsmen and sportswomen,
the world's bestj and represent-
ing seventeen nations, are part
of the crowd that has turned
this mountain village into a
glamourous kaleidoscope. Skill
is here, and grace, and rhythm,
and the bravery to use them
well. Here between the arena
and the stadium, one may see
some of the stoutest hearts in
the world go by. Yonder is the
man who went on skis across
the polar ice to rescue Nobile.
There is Count Baptist Gudenus,
young, proud, gigantic, a dare
devil of the bobsleigh runs. The
black eagle of Austria is on his
breast.
A patter of feet, the crunch
of runners, and Seppala and his
dogs flash by, galant Seppala,
who, when Nome was threaten
ed with a deadly plague, drove
his beasts through a blinding,
frozen hell to carry the precious
serum to a despairing people.
His face is as brown and in
scrutable as a piece of leather.
He manages his team with a
superb ease and lightness of
touch. Laughing, fearless Hen
ry Homburger walks past. He
is captain of North America's

watch the great heavy four-man

ski-jumping. Poised at the top
of a steel tower the jumper is

most influential dramatic critics of the
country, is the first of a series on the

By Barrett H. Clark
I do not think that back
ground in your sense of the
word can be "acquired. You
1 really mean, I take it, experience
in life, and college can furnish
that only insofar as college is
one of many aspects of life. In
other words, there is not very
much that you can do about it.
One may get as much back
ground sitting in his room in a
dormitory in two weeks as an
other would get bumming
around the world in cattle ships
and low dives during a whole
life-time. " -
As for your specific "Do play
writing courses, and amateur
college theatricals aid the pro
fessional stage?", I suppose in
general that they do. However,
I am inclined to think that the
importance of such courses, and
of amateur college theatricals,
resides in their arousing-some
latent interest in the student.
For instance, a freshman who is
down in the book of fate to7 be-
come a great playwright will un-

WARNING GRADES
WILL BE ISSUED
TONINEJWRED
As in Fall Quarter, Figure Rep
resents Slightly More Than
One-Third of Students.
Mid-term reports for the win
ter quarter as released by the
registrar's office yesterday
morning reveal that approx
imately 900 students have been
rated below the passing grade
or on the danger line. As in the
fall quarter, this figure repre
sents slightly more than a third
of the student body.
While the number of warnings
for this quarter is considered
average for the winter period,
figures show that there has been
no perceptible increase in scho
larship over the fall quarter.
The 1,000 warnings issued last
November were based on a stu
dent body of 2,800. The present
enrollment of the University is
at least 300 less than that of last
Quarter' so tha the Percentage
of students failing to pass or in
a danSerous position is actually
larger than that of the fall
quarter,

It is generally expected that
the number of winter warnings
will be considerably less than
those in the fall.- However, the
percentage difference between
the periods is not usually , as
slight as this year.
The graduate and professional
schools are not included, in this
, talfr as thy receive no mid-term
reports.
