Ralto Farlow. , Wednesday, October 5, 1932 Fresh Timber for A New Era In five weeks the American people will be confronted with the task of selecting the party which is to guide them thru the next four years. The term "party" is used advisedly, for this year's candidates stand . out by virtue of their mediocrity and never has even the strongest of men : been able : to accomplish much other than the will of his party. Hoover is -dominated by the big interests who placed him in office to work to .their advant age and if re-elected he will be more than ever bound to accept the dictates of the silent but all powerful forces of capital that forms , the backbone of the Re publican party. Roosevelt is tied down as well by the demands of his party. His nomination at Chicago was not the spontaneous selection of the party's best man, but was the result of careful and extensive managing clinched by a sorry bargain with such men as Wil liam McAdoo and William Ran dolph Hearst. The vice-presidential selections are more in ferior still, Garner and Curtis being personifications of noth ingness and worthy of notice only by reason of the alarm felt over the possibility of the death of Hoover or Roosevelt in office. - It is unfortunate, that our presidential timber should be of so low a calibre now of all times. The last presidential term has witnessed conditions that have shaken this country to its foun dations and from which it is haltingly emerging. We are emerging from the worst and longest depression in our history, a period in which financial or ganizations hitherto considered solid as the nation itself, have been forced to come to the fed eral government and beg to be kept alive. A period which has seen millions starving and the states forced to draw upon the national treasury to feed their citizens. ' Four years of graft and crime rampant and unpun ished, in which - the impracti cable prohibition law has been violated to the benefit of our most undesirable elements' who emboldened by the impunity with which they might act murdered the infant son of America's greatest living hero. Four years of turmoil that have seen the soldiers that fought for us a few- years ago turn upon their na tion in its darkest hour and de mand its life blood, to be an swered by murder in the streets of the capital of the nation for which they risked their lives Four years of desperation that have seen the miner and the farmer driven to armed resist ance to law while communism gained an insidious foothold amid the scene of hopeless frenzy. We are not yet done with cir cumstances that form a crucial point in our national history. The blows we have suffered have been similar to those which in the past thave presaged revolu tion and decline to other nations. If we recover fully, we may be destined to new heights but the outlook would be far brighter had a leader arisen in our hour of danger arid saved us 7 from politics when statesmanship of the hightest order is needed. J.F.A. Liberal Arts With a Small "1" One of the most outstanding traits of the University is its liberalness. However, there doesn't seem to be enough lib erality in the present system of courses that a student is com pelled to follow, particularly in the College of Liberal Arts. ' Generally the -most difficult problem of a college freshman is to decide upon the course he is going to pursue during his col lege career. The greater num ber don't actually know what to take up" and for that reason enter the College of Liberal Arts rand follow a general type of stu dy, so that they can branch out into most any other school when they have fully decided upon this school. u . . However, when a student de cides to really continue in the school of Arts with the idea of obtaining a degree in Liberal Arts, it seems that he should be allowed the greatest possible freedom in choosing his courses, substantiated by some faculty member, generally the head of his major dpartment. The general run of studies during the first year are back ground builders and during the second year the student begins to specialize more. In his third year he chooses a-major and a minor and pursues these courses and other "follow up" courses as the head of his major de partment sees fit. The fallacy seems to be in the fact that the student might have really two major interests or one major and two minors, and because of the necessity of tak ing regularly prescribed courses he is unable to choose some course that might be more bene ficial than a . required course, if only for the reason that tie likes the work in the course. E.J. OUR TIMES By Don Shoemaker America's Way Out No more need the corner store political sages argue politics across the checker board Tom Loy, former Carolina Play maker, and his father have for warded to the Bull's Head adr vance sets of their recently in vented game "Politix, the Great National Game," which combines the best features of checkers and chess with the thrill of two penny political conjecture. The board used in the game is marked off in 374 uniform squares, each of which means something or other in moving the men. Of the latter there are two sets of forty-eight, each piece marked with the name of the state and the number of votes it musters in the electoral college. You just pick out either the red or black set and make moves around the board to po sitions such as the "Issue" (to )e leaped or occupied) which will give you a majority of votes by jumping the opponent's states. The booklet describing the game cleverly injects several paragraphs into its set of rules : "When the State of either con testant is captured, the corre sponding playing piece of the Candidate effecting such capture is, turned face down and be comes a Campaign Speaker . . . of material value (the Speakers) when used offensively for block ing or capturing an opponent's State in that they Thay moe sacri ficed, without scoring loss." . We. recommend that the two parties chose up sides and. play Politix" to spare us the misery of the Great November Hoax. The Pen Is Mightier Than the Raddio He of the Brown Derby, who hitched his wagon to a donkey and now finds himself editor of the New Outlook, contributes some valuable political pro nouncements in his first issue of what promises to be a journal with a punch. Frpm a sort of "The Editor's Easy Chair" in the front section of this new con tribution to the cultural enlight enment of the race come these Alisms: "The New Outlook will check up once a month, every month in the year, on what is taking place politically and the reason for it, on what is being done that should not be done, and on what should be done that is not being done." And -further : "We must face facts squarely and endeavor to utilize past experiences to im prove our national life." : - -All of which elicits from this respectful contemporary : Where, oh where, have we heard that before? And: A barrel of ink and printers' 1 sticks, can't teach an old dog any new tricks. Autopsy By Robert Berryman Oh, Mr. Tatum! University officials, according to unfounded rumors, have re cently received letters from the Socialist campaign headquarters and the American Association for the Advancement of Athe ism. Both have protested against the same thing: the fact that the University allows the students here to mold the plastic brains of the professors. It is charged by the Socialists that professors of decent politi cal faith are allowed to come in daily contact with professed Democrats and Republicans. These students, with their hard ened political views, by playing on the plastic brains of the pro fessors, have drawn many of them away from their party. The Socialists think the college should put n end to such go ings-on. : The Atheistic Association has a like protest to make. It charges that many members of its asso ciation among the faculty of the University have become Chris tians after daily exposure to the insidious and glib talk of the many Christians admitedly to be found on the campus and in the class rooms. The Association is wondering if anything can be done about it. Names Make News Among- the pallbearers at a funeral- held in a small eastern North Carolina town a few days ago were: Blandina Day wait, Rubie Beck, Tokie Ratledge, Zeimena Thompson, and Ophelia Barneycastle. Can You Beat It? Bronzed - veterans of liquid gulping on the Hill might -find something in the tale of Ike Mobley, Negro of Washington, N. C, to marvel and wonder at; Last Sunday he drank eight pints of corn whisky in a single day and lived to regret it. Starting early, he killed three pints before breakfast, ' taking one-half pint at each gulp. He drank the rest during the day. When found Monday morning he was believed dead but he re gained partial consciousness that afternoon. He says that from now on he will keep at least one foot on the wagon. Summer School Culture During the Summer School session of the University many men and women here for the first time were deciding whether they would return to take , ad vanced work in the regular school year. After hearing so much of the Southern Culture prevelent here, , imagine their surprise at reading this regula tionprinted in bold face type on the "Summer School Sani tary Notice" issued by the laun dry: "Students, are required to change bed linen weekly" Beastly Drunks Many women of Hungary are making extra money by dressing up pigs in baby clothes and then giving them a swig of hard lik ker out of a nursing bottle. They then cross the Austrian border with a "sleeping child" and avoid paying a tariff. Pork sells for much more in Austria. Wonder Department I wonder if that British show man wh ooffered Mr. Gandhi a cash price to come to England and fast "unto death" in his sideshow really meant it? . . . I wonder: if that double page drawing by Dr. Seuss on page 44-45 of College Humor, pur porting to show a classroom scene at the University, will be good advertising? . . . I won der: how much longer, the "nut" societies on the campus the an tics of which all but the feeble minded tired long ago. will be able to' find enough students as foolish as the present members for-their idiocies to be propa gated? ?x? - LOCALE OF 'LIFE BEGINS' IS SET IN MATERNITY WARD Loretta Young and Eric Linden Have Leading Roles in Picture at ...... Carolina Theatre. The entire action of "Life Be gins," showing at the Carolina theatre today, takes place in the maternity ward of a hospital. The drama and comedy of the various -situations are woven around the mothers in the ward and the hospital attendants. The story opens with the en trance, of a young woman, who is serving a long prison term for murder, into the hospital to give birth to her child. Attention is then drawn to the other inmates of. the ward. The parts of the leading young couple are played by Loretta Young and Eric Linden; with Aline MacMahon prominently cast are the head nurse. Pres ton Foster, Gilbert Roland, Vi vienne Osborne, Clara Blandick, and several others are included in the supporting cast. - The management of the thea tre has announced that no chil dren under sixteen years of age will be allowed to attend this cinema.

He is of the opinion that Chapel Hill is abun dant in material, for the highest type of drama and fine arts, and that North Carolina as a whole is not paralleled by any other state in natural talent.

YOU Double your success possibilities by enrolling for expert business training in Carolina' Commercial College, s Seven out of ten young people who hopefully launch themselves on a college course this fall will not finish. Startling statement? Yes, but the figures are in accord with the report of the United States bureau of education. Of course, this high mortality is not to be attributed to -lack of ability; but to lack of interest and effort,, to -unfavorable economic conditions, to unfortunate choice of courses', etc. And as "Nature in the Raw is Seldom Mild", so a Partial Col-' lege Course seldom prepares one to earn a living. j School boards do not employ teachers who "almost" earn their certificate credits. One cannot practice law, medicine, dentistry, etc. after completing only one year's work. , Guard Against Failure Your best safeguard is SPECIALIZED BUSINESS TRAINING dur ing your spare time while in college.
