Sanity in
Argumentation
There is perhaps no more ard
ent supporter of the prohibition
cause than the Christian Science
Monitor. And correspondingly
do the Scripps-Howard papers
such as the New York World
Telegram, the Washington Daily
News, the Cincinnati Post, and
the Hearst papers the Chicago
American, San Francisco Exam
iner and the American Weekly,
befriend the thirsty-man's is
sue. The odds in miles of ink
'printed in agitation on either
side, of the question undoubtedly
favor the latter aggregation and
a host of small wet fry, but what
the dry cause lacks in numerical
support it gains through the
Monitor in f ervence and sane
argumentation.

tistics, statements of university
professors disinterested in con
sumate pecuniary gain, heads of

ers for pronouncements devoid
of all but sincere convictions
that their views are directed to
ward the betterment of Ameri
can society. The "International
Daily Newspaper" goes to such
agencies as the president of the
,Nova Scotia Social Service
Council, to Dr. William Bancroft
Hill, author and lecturer at Vas
sar college, and to Dr. Thomas
N. Carver, Harvard professor of
economics for information and
articles all in one issue. It is
without argument that such an
imposing list could not be moti
vated by selfish purposes. Thus,
practically, morally, and eco
nomically, ike Monitor advances
the opinion of authority in
highly specialized fields to pro
pound the dry cause. , j -Let
us of the anti-administration

from political sentiments and

For Service
Rendered
The faithful fire fighter who
has ridden forth to many a blaze
during a stated number of years
finds at the end of this time that
he is required to relinquish his
position to a younger man. He
is -not, however, left without fur
ther means of support. He is
pensioned. This procedure is
followed not only to maintain
the efficiency of the fire depart
ment, but also as a mark of ap
preciation to the elderly gentle
man who has given his best
years in the service of his fel
low men.
This same system seems to be

recognition, he still must con-
tinue teaching because salaries
have always been low and he has
not accumulated enough of the
world's wealth to live comfort-
ably m his declining years.
Thus the university professor
troes on. each vear losiner more
and more of his keenness and in-
flictinff poor instruction and in-
justice upon those unfortunates
who find it necessary to be en-
rolled in his course. If a mer-

is spared the drudgery of contin

isted for at least three years, and
may continue for an indefinite
time in the future. If such con-
duct is not unjust, it is at the
very minimum inefficient. The
elimination of inefficiency should
be the prime aim of an institu-

Although The Daily Tar
Heel, through its writer, does
not decry vivesection, it seems
to have some idea that it is not
being done in quite the right
way in Chapel Hill. Suffice it to
say here that the work of Dol-
ley, now known wherever phys
iology is studied, was done here,
with the forerunners of these
same dogs which jar the sensi
bilities of The Daily Tar Heel.
Also that the work of our own
MacNider, known everywhere
that medical science is followed,
is dependent on these dogs.
Many of us might not be here

of these dogs taught students of
the past the fundamentals of

In The Main
By Mayne Albright
Some people still take signs
seriously. For instance the two
Wilmington boys who hitch-hiked
to the Vanderbilt game. Not
having any place to sleep they
wandered into the Y. M. C. A.,
and seeing , there a bedroom
marked "Guest Room" they took
it seriously enough as Ed.
Lanier, the owner of the bed,
found when he came into his
room about midnight. - It should
be added that Ed, good Yimica
Clubman that he is, sought shel
ter elsewhere, leaving his room
to his "guests."

I had heard of the Jig-Saw
Puzzle craze that is sweeping
the country and breaking up con
tract parties everywhere, and
had idly wondered how; it could
be so fascinating.; I no longer
wonder. Wednesday night Dr.
and Mrs. Leavitt came by Gra
ham Memorial with a 266 piece
set and I sat perfectly happy for
five incredibly short hours un
til a beautiful electric train' em
erged from the jumbled pile of
queer shaped blocks. There's
nothing to it, but it gets you.
Real Jig-Saw fans want bigger
and bigger pictures cut into
smaller pieces. Several places in
own, including Graham Me
morial, now have sets to lend, to
rent, or to sell.
Mr. Phillips Russell has taken
long forward step in Univer
sity teaching methods by hold
ing a two-hour session with his
class each Thursday night in
stead of the regular Thursday
and Friday morning classes.
There is an atmosphere ' of in
formality and sociability about
these night meetings which
prompts real interest in the dis
cussions and in the work. You
have a feeling of knowing inti
mately the authors under con
sideration, and you . identify
your own efforts with accom
plishments instead of with
credits.
Incidentally in his last lecture
Mr. Russell aptly characterized
one of James Joyce's wildest
neologismic flights by saying "It
takes a well educated man to un
derstand even the explanations."
Nelson Robbinsy who, from
The Ink Well, dashes off such
good descriptions of the Uni
versity, has evidently never pass
ed Dr. Collier Cobb's Geology 21,
for the famed quotation about
man's environmental influences
must be, repeated accurately
word for word and each in its
place before you may receive
credit for this popular course.
Dr. Cobb and loyal host of past
members of Geoloerv 21 are
shocked, mortified, and offended
at Mr. Robbins rendition.: "You
are largely what you are, be
cause you are where you are."
The correct version, of course,
is "We are what we are. largely
because we are where, we are."
On such trifles hang the fate of
nations and diplomas.
And since we are talking
about typical sayings of our
University professors, see how
many of the following expres
sions you recognize.
1. 'fAll my jokes are bound to
be good they've lasted since
Greece was in its glory."
2. "In these old halls, and un
der these great oaks."
.3. "Speaking in terms of in
ternational relations we might
sen."
4. "How much are you a part
of society; how much is society
a part of you "

6. I see in this morning's
paper that 'The Sage of North
airipton that blankety-blank so-
and-so, said etc.
7. 'The situation, as 1 see it,
divides itself into three parts:
first, second, and third."
8. "George Washington's will

9. "You must do it with metic

10. "An unexpected occurr
ence has caused me to forego the
customary preparation which of

tion." ' '
The first person who turns in
the correct list of professors
gets a free show on me. All
others get honorable mention in
this column when the answers
are given next week.

Socialists are the only polit

campus. They seem to be the
only ones of a vast student popu
lation who are interested enough
in their own and their country's
welfare to try to do -something
about it. Colleges are becoming
known as hotbeds for Socialism
and Communism. There are
plenty of loyal conservatives left
on the campus but they sit idly
by and leave politics to their pa

ones who are not afraid to blow
