If we are to consider how

Has it accomplished anything
there? Has it influenced con

tent? Have any leaders sprung
tip from within the ranks of the
movements?
; . From this distance the ..Euro
pean movements are not impres
sive, either by their sincerity or
their effectiveness. In Ger
many the spontaneous peace
movement has been . completely
overshadowed by the militant
activities of the Nazis.and Com

should be noted that the latter

Ending out what the young

Medical Group Hears Glascock

the enthusiasts who are pushing
forward a plan. But that plan
did not evolve among their num
ber, but rather in the brain of
some Marxian theorist.
I . That the Red Bund, the young
Nazis, the young Fascists and
the Pioneers are in their way ef
fective can not be denied. They
are the outstanding youth move
ments m their respective coun
tries, but that the causes for
which they fight are primarily
those of youth is certainly not
theease. They are' but the in
struments of political or na
tional policy. ,
In France there is a youth
body which seeks peace and dis
armament, but the very spirit
of that country at the present
time belies any assertion . that
it is either representative or ef
fective. There are internation
alist.groups in some of the other
countries as well, but their opin
ions seem to carry little weight.
Americans Indifferent
The youth of America, and
particularly that portion of it in
attendance at the universities,
has been continually reproached
for its indifferent attitude to
wards politics and social prob
lems. The actions of the Euro
pean university, man are held up
to them as a shining example of
what can be done. But is it, de
sirable that they yield to. the
mob instinct and band 'together,
rush about tossing verbal and
material brickbats, and break
heads, all in the name of a
Cause ?. , If so, whose cause ? Are

. (NOTE: The following article by
the Jason of the Order of the Golden
Fleece is the first public expression
that has come from this honorary or
ganization since its founding twenty
nine years ago. The continued exist
ence of certain University " societies
has long been questioned. The Fleece
clearly justifies its position here.)
Inspired by individuals, yet
coming naturally from the life
of the people, as so many Caro
lina institutions have, the Order
of the Golden Fleece was found
ed upon an ideal, and founded to
accomplish a definite purpose.
Basing membership . upon
character, "leadership, and
worthy achievement, it banded
together a few leaders. Its im
mediate problem was to unite
the then antagonistic groups of
fraternity and non-fraternity
men, and to make each group

bigger than either. Its method
was secrecy.
After twenty-nine years of
purposeful existencedemerging
into the eye of the community
but once a year, but working
constantly through individuals
Golden Fleece finds its origin
al purpose accomplished. Its
ideal remains a challenge a
goal "ever glittering just
eyes, and the way his eyelashes
curl has little to do with his
attractiveness and appeal to
girls. "Whether he is a blonde,
brunette, red head, or even bald
makes little difference," writes
one girl. "His personality is
what counts."
Of the girls expressing pref
erences, those favoring brun
ettes had a majority of nearly
two to one over blondes. : Red
heads polled a surprising vote
of eleven' preferences. "Red
hair simply fascinates women,"
asserts a Duke co-ed. - :
Only one girl confesses that
her ideal man must be hand
some. "Interesting-looking"
"men are in great demand, arid
several express their disapproval
of masculine beauty by saying
that they "hate good-looking
men more than any other kind
if possible."
"An athletic build is not nec
essary, but every woman likes
a he-man," observes a girl at
Duke. "I hate puny men,"
comes from Salem, and "women
dcftft like 'sissy' specimens of
the male sex," from Delaware
Woman's college. Most of the
girls desired nien taller than
themselves.
Not Necessary, But
"An' automobile is not 'neces
sary, but nice," is the most com
mon reply concerning the pos
session of a car. A Greensboro
college girl declares, "As long
as U-Drive-It speedometers can
be disconnected, he need not
have an automobile." Other
girls express the opinion that a
car is "convenient" and "would
not object to His having one."
Opinions concerning the nec
essary social anti financial status

-ahead," never to be wholly pos
sessed. The problems of the Flece are
new problems. The question
which confronted it this year
was whether an honor society,
however old, can justify its
existence in our present complex
University life. The answer lay
in the rich field of service ahead.
The University is constantly on
trial ; the test of poverty pre
ceded the test of luxury and now
succeeds it; There is, now, as
always, a real need for leader
ship. How best mightN the Order
now render adequate , service ?
It was decided that Golden
Fleece, having reached matur
ity, should at . all times in the
future feel free to express it
self clearly, and x emphatically
upon questions of vital . interest
to' the community when in, the
opinion of the Order such ex
pression would be of benefit.
Golden Fleece, therefore, be

this occasion to make its first

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This article
on developments in American student
groups, was written especially for
The Daily Tar Heel bv E. R. Mur-
row, honorary director of the National
Student Federation of America.)
By E. R. Murrow
Much has been written con
cerning recent developments in
foreign student groups, but
amazingly little space has been
given to the sudden awakening
of America's students. For years
they have been the subject mat
ter for cartoons, sarcastic stor
ies, and stories dealing with the
"lost college generation." For
some reason, the present plan
less and chaotic economic condi
tions have caused many of their
elders to refer to the present
generation as the only hope for
sane leadership in the future.
The college student is gradually
being removed from his usual
juvenile classification, with the
result that he is assuming a com
pletely new role. There can be
no question that American youth
under the impact of economic
depression is becoming more
and more serious. There is,
without question, a growing in
terest in international affairs.
Student' attention is coming
more and more to focus on ob
jects beyond the confines of their
own campus. Nationalism, con
scious or otherwise, probably
plays a smaller part in the think
ing of American students than
at any time in the history of
American education. The ac
tion taken by many student
groups in circulating disarma
ment petitions, holding model

Late Dean's Career as Teacher,

Lauded in Exercises-
Speaking at a memorial serv
ice Friday night, three., mem
bers of the University faculty
paid high tribute to the career
of Dr. Edwin Greenlaw, late
William Osier professor of Eng
lish in Johns Hopkins univer
sity, who spent the most produc
tive years of his life in Chapel
Hill, where he achieved eminent
distinction as head of the Eng
lish department and dean of the
graduate school.
The services took place in the
lounge of the : Shirley Graves
graduate club and were attend-
led by a number of Dr. Green-
law s former colleagues and -
friends The exercises were
under the auspices of the Ed
win Greenlaw graduate club,
named for its founder in resolu
tions adopted . Friday. :
A three-fold representation
pf Dr. Greenlaw ' as "teacher,
scholar, ana administrator" .was
given, respectively, by Dr. A. C.
Howell of the department of
English, a former student; by
Dr. George Coffin Taylor, also of
the English department; and by
Dr. W. W. Pierson, Jr., dean of
the graduate school and a form
