In recommending
Dr. Frank

Greater University of North

of trustees have expressed their
confidence in him as the most

In This
Enlightened Land
The recently completed -Geor-
gia senatorial race in which Gov
ernor Russeir participated and
won presents a significant pic
ture of the condition of Ameri
can' statesmanship.
Congressman Crisp and Gov
ernor Russell declared with be-
nign sanctimony at the
uuiaco
that their campaigns would

ideals. But a few weeks put the

They declared, each of the oth-

jectivity had been violated and

While the results of the vote nessing for the fourth or fifth
were being tabulated many vot-
ers began to consider seriously
why they had voted for their
favorite. Crisp supporters might
have admitted that it was be-
cause he was a "fine Christian
gentleman" (his use of prayer in
the campaign was suspiciously
sanctimonious) : and, Russell
supporters because he was a
"young energetic, friendly fel
low." These were the grounds
for the fevered support the can-
didates for the Senate were com-
manded. Russell, the new Sen-
ator, laid a platform notoriously
reactionary, containing planks
so vague and stupid that it is a
wonder he secured a single vote
from the ranks of educated
Georgians. He certainly was not
elected because of -this great
platform. The whole campaign
was patently free from display
of rugged, courageous states-
manship.
Voters today find it difficult
ever.to vote "for" anyone or any
platform. The ballot.is thrown
to one candidate in defiance of
the nthpr t.hp rWisinn hpino-

feeling of distrust or loyalty. ,

says that there are three stages
in the world's history, and. that
these are repeated over and over,
The first period is the Renais
sance, or rebirth. The second
period is the Classist. The third
is the Decadence. In the ren
aissance,. people gain in inter
est m certain subjects. These
subjects are retained by rules
throughout the classical era and
finally die out in the period of
decadence. This last period lasts
many generations, usually from
fifty. to over a thousand years
A present, we are at the end
of a renaissance the mechani-
cal renaissance. Airplanes are
being made safe. Automobiles
and railroads have become a
necessity rather than a luxury.
New types of literature and art
have been developed. . Compare
George Bellow's works with
those of one of the artists of the
great Italian Renaissance. Com
pare the poems of Robert Frost

tide himself and his wife over
the Christmas holidays.
Then Fortune beckoned. Col
ins walked into a moderately im
posing Boston department store
a few weeks after the memorable
Christmas and sought out the
manager, dropping his pedagogi
cal mien for one of the impatient
business man. "You need a good
advertising manager," he told
the executive. "I can save you
half your advertising bill."
It was a wild chance, but the
manager, finding his manner and
cinppritv tn his liking, instruct-
ed him to come back yvithm a
week. He did; within a few
months he was earning a salary
0f more than three thousand
dollars a year and had dropped
half of his work at Harvard to
gve him ample time at his new
post. x
His friends quizzed him:
"Kenneth, how in the .world had
you planned to save that man
half of his advertising bill?"
"Why, it was simple," he re
sponded. "I only" bought half
the space."
Collins' ascent was rapid. Soon
he was in New York at twice the
salary as second in command of
Macys' advertising force. Then
! he went out to Cleveland and be
came identified with a great elec
tric company as advertising
manager. Macys brought him
I back in a few short months and
placed him as vice-president- at
the head of its advertising divi
sion":
Today his salary is estimated
in the hundreds of thousands. r
Yet he had no more education
for his life work than philosophy
and English.
Were Horace Greeley alive he
might say, "Get into advertis

'go south' young man."

Daily Tar Heel Story on Freshman Boners Gives Wrong Impre.

In comparing President Gra

Tar Heel's story about fresh
man boners was right enough,
but in telling of a mistaken
freshman wTho "was invited to
leave summarily, to say the
least" it was, as anyone who has
visited Chapel Hill's 'White
House", knows, sadly off track.
The warm hospitality of the
Graham household is well
known. Many a freshman, un
able to find or to use his school
quarters, has been entertained
overnight in the home of the
president.
None Asked to Leave
Many have wandered in think
ing it a hotel, a boarding house,
a fraternity house, or a private
home with a room to rent, but
none,vit is safe to say, has ever
been asked to leave. Parents,

Sunday evenings especially
t
the presidential home is crowd,

has reserved that one evening
for an informal reception for
those who wish to see him. Any
