Co-eds And Forced
Attendance Berated
Co-education is a hindrance to
education and the present system
of compulsory attendance is, not
only unnecessary, but utterly
useless, according to Dr. Ham
ilton Fyf e, principal of Queens
university, recently interviewed
by a representative of the Mc
Gill Daily.
Of co-education, he said,
"That which is suitable in the
education of men is m many
cases unsuited for tne instruc
tion of woman, and the reverse
holds true. I could never stand
up and lecture before a mixed
class as well as I could before one
consisting of men only.
"The system in use at Oxford
works very well," Dr. Fyfe re
marked in his comments on re
quired attendance. "Here men
are sometimes advised to' cut
certain lectures in order that
they may pick up more on their
own. On" the whole, I believe in
fewer examinations and less
compulsory attendance at lec
tures." Twelve in Infirmary

Of University
At Commencement in 1925, Well
Given Honorary Degree of LL.D. by University for "Useful
Service to the State and Labor for That Institution."
-o-
A daring political leader in
the Democratic party machin
ery, Walter Murphy of Salisbury
has proven to be a staunch friend
of the University in the state
legislature. He was prominent
as a student leader at the Uni
versity during a .period which
the institution furnished the
state many prominent figures,
and has become an able leader
in North Carolina politics.
In 1892, with Charles Basker
ville, "Pete," as he is widely and
popularly known, helped begin
The Tar Heel. He served as
managing editor on the first
staff, and upon the resignation
of Baskerville as editor-in-chief,
he was elevated to that position.
In 1902 Murphy was elected to
the board of trustees and has
served for thirty years. At com
mencement in 1925, the honorary
degree of LL.D. was conferred
upon him by the University for
"useful service to the state and
loyal labor for the institution."
Murphy, a vigorous proponent
of University interests in the
state legislature, has served as
representative from Rowan
county in nearly every legisla
ture since he was first elected in
1897, three years out of law
school. In 1914 and again in
1917 he was elected speaker. In
1923 he was named chairman of
the house appropriations com
mittee, in which capacity, three

Staunch Friend
In State Legislature
o- .
Known Trustee of Salisbury Was
years later, he won praise from
the University when he with
drew from the budget commis
sion to champion the cause of
the state educational institutions
against the first of the series of
cuts in appropriations.. "Reduce
the cost to educate every ambiti
ous boy and girl in North Caro
lina, not increase it," he
pleaded. -
For the past decade, Murphy
has been occupied with inter
party politics. He was elected,
in 1918, elector-at-large on the
Democratic ticket, and has serv
ed on the executive committee
for twelve years. In 1924 he
managed the unsuccessful cam
paign of the late Senator Oscar
W. Underwood of Alabama for
the Democratic nomination for
president. After the party con
vention, he managed the North
Carolina campaign of John W.
Davis for the presidency.
Besides aiding in founding
The Tar Heel, Murphy helped
establish The Alumni Review
and was one of the founders of
the Sigma Nu fraternity here.
He played varsity football four
years, was president of the ath
letic association, and was prom
inent in journalistic activities.
He writes occasionally now for
newspapers on political subjects
and characters. He was presi
dent of the General Alumni As
sociation in 1922-23.

Assembly Speaker Attacks Read
ing Choice and Plans Ballot
To Test Assumption.
Harry F. Comer of the Y. M.
C. A. announced yesterday morn
ing in his assembly talk on
"Current Events" that the read
ing preferences of the freshman
class would be determined next
Tuesday by popular vote.
Blank forms which list a wide
variety of reading material are
to be passed on that day to those
present at assembly. Each stu
dent, said Comer, is expected to
enumerate the periodicals which
he consistently reads, those
which he occasionally reads, and
those which he does not read at
all. The? purpose of the vqte,
he explained, is to determine the
amount and preference of read
ing which is done by members
of the freshman class.
"Not more than two per cent
of the student body are reading
anything worth while outside of
text books," declared Comer in
his talk. He further stated that
he was inclined to believe that
there were more filling stations
in North Carolina than there
were books read in the public
libraries. What do we know of
banking systems throughout the
world? How many of us know
what the gold standard is? How
well are we acquainted with such
issues as the "inheritance tax
rate ? were some of the ques
tions on ourrent events asked by
the speaker.
