Even Up With the decision of the legis lature to combine the three state supported schools of higher edu cation, the University of North Carolina, North Carolina College for Women, and North Carolina State College, a storm of protest arose from adherents of the women's college and the Raleigh institution. Today after several months of observation and re search into the benefits to be de rived by all three of the schools from their cooperation and con solidation, there are only a few die-hards who are still bewail ing the "elimination of State College." The branch of the Greater Uni versity probably most pleased by the consolidation is the wom en's college. Hardly a disgrunt led comment has been heard either from the students or au thorities of that school.

For ths sake of a few more dollars, they are will ing to deprive deserving boys of their only opportunity to get a university education. The firms sponsoring this petition are blindly ignoring the fact that they owe their exist ence to the patronage of Univer sity students who are in sym pathy with these boys and who appreciate their services. It is impossible to see what grounds, moral or legal, the merchants have for depriving these boys of their livelihood, now that they have complied with the license ruling. Certainly, the fraternities, as taxpayers, should have a word on this subject. Undoubtedly they appreciate the service of these boys who bring refresh ments to their rooms during study periods. Rain or shine, the "sandwich boys" make their calls, saving fraternity men the inconvenience of leaving their work to go downtown for "eats." It is an inspiration to see these boys, who work five or six hours a night and yet who find time to do creditable class work, who are always courteous and genial, and who are making a serious business of getting an education. Certainly, it, would be an in justice to -deprive these boys, who serve some five hundred tax payers in Chapel Hill, of their only means of staying in college. No fair-minded merchant would sign a petition to that effect. Assuredly, the fraternity men will defend these boys who give hem such friendly service. ROLAND B. PARKER. Autopsy By Robert Berryman of the tradition? of North Caro lina's advances toward demo cratic, equalized, educational op portunity. Such a man is Frank Graham, president of this University. He took upon himself this office at a time when people considered him far from the traditional type of college president. In stead of reserved he is affable, and with no loss of dignity; in the other two branches. In words contradictory to the current song it seems that "nobody lose3 everybody wins." O.S.S.

In many neighboring cities it has been rumored that co-eds at Carolina don't rate. This rumor should not be ignored or even al- owed to go unchallenged. There is a deep reason for such a bit of news becoming widespread. It happens that colleges are nec essarily made up of cosmopoli tan groups, and Carolina is no exception. There are students from many cities, states, - and countries in school here.. They represent all classes of society from common laborers to aristo cratic financiers. Some of them go through daily grinds at vari ous jobs to help defray their ex penses. Others have as much as thev can use of this world's wealth. Such a situation pre sents a group of students who do not have the time nor the money to date the co-eos. ui course, too, the co-eds prefer to date the men with money. No one can blame them for that. Fate, it seems, has decreed that such inequalities exist; there fore we must accept bur vari ous places in society. These men who do not have the time nor money to date quite naturally resort to the well-known method of rationalization to satisfy themselves. When refused dates they say, "Oh, well, co-eds don't rate anyway." They leave schoo: with this same idea which origi nated in their own minds. It grows stronger and becomes al most real to them. They tel friends about it. But some val iant girls brave the perils of such a place and come to Carolina. Wise choice, girls. This is great place. Bring on the co-eds. The more the more. JIMMIE WADSWORTH Yellow Sheet Puzzling me very much is the average opinion I hear expressed of The Carolina Magazine. Even among students supposedly pos sessed of critical literary sense I find a few who will give it a boost. And this is a great pity, I think. I believe it should be praised to the utmost. When I first came to the Uni versity I asked a friend of mine to tell me about the publications. He omitted all mention of the Magazine. I asked him why. He made a face and said that there was only one circumstance in which he was glad to have a copy cf the campus literary pub lication. This year I persuaded my roommate to read a short sketch I had done. When through he asked what I was going to do with it. "I thought I'd try to get it in the. Magazine," I ex plained. He grimaced as though I had suggested the murder of one of my professors and ex claimed melodramatically: "Oh, anything but that!" What makes the students so slow to recognize and acknowl edge aye, even acclaim ! their own literary publication? Tfyere a mystery here somewhere. One of my friends, whom I bad previously given credit for i e ii "A possessing oounoiess sagacity, ruined my opinion of him by his expressions on the subject. 'Dammit," he said to me, "the Magazine isn't artistic, it's arty. You can't write about your nor mal feelings and get that print ed; you've got to have Japanese princes or Greek gods in your stuff or they won't even read it. They like this stuff that you dig up out of the twelfth century and if you can give your article a latin name you can demand the front page. It's not so much by the way you write as it is by the selection of a subject that by recognized authority is within the province of 'capital A Art that you make the Magazine! Personally, I believe my friend is" entirely prejudiced and en tirely unfair in his attitude. But his opinion is shared by so many other students that I think it wise for someone to explain, with patience, to him and the others, exactly vherein they err. is Munch Will Speak H. F. Munch, professor of mathematics in the school of education, will address the west ern section meeting of the North Carolina teachers association n. ; i i ' -ii ims morning at Asnevme on the subject of "The Contri bution That Mathematics May Make Towards an Insurance Pol icy for Democracy." Professor Munch will be ac companied by his wife on this trip. G sh D rn Professor Lynn Clark, short story writing instructor at the University of Southern Calif or- i s "1 a ma, injects a ray oi nope into he young scriveners' horizon. 'Pulp magazines such as Thrill- ing Aaveniure, Argosy, ana Western Stories are of real val-j ue to anyone desiring to write short stories," opines Mr. Clark, 'because after you have assidu ously read them for a few weeks you become convinced that it is mpossible for you to do any worse; and such a conviction' is he first step up the ladder." The professor has got some- hing there, all right. He might go farther and list the worth while periodicals, which we be- ieve might be counted on the fingers of anybody's right hand. That lets out about five hundred general blitherboshy rags and four or five thousand worthless novels. Clark also points out, that despite the general intel- ectual level of these pulp publi cations "a great many of their editors allow no swear words to appear in them. Plain ordinary damn' must be printed 'dn.' " We feel the same way about the matter. For instance, you never see "damn" or "hell" in our columns. When we cuss out somebody, more than likely we'll call him a "1-w d-wn. ord-ary, h-rse's n-ck" etc. Delicacy, we feel along with our contempor aries True Story and Wild West, is the first law of manuscripts.

Chapel Chaff Stop any freshman on the campus and ask him if he thinks the things presented to him in one week of enforced chapel that really add to his sum total of knowledge o r entertainment could be condensed into one meeting. I would like to take the small end of any bet at fairly largish odds that he would an swer yes. If, as I think, most Univer sity chapel-goers are of the opin ion that the majority of their chapel hours are occupied by piffle which, by its time space detracts from their total avail able hours of study, it would seem that this point should have at least slight weight with those higher powers who inflict chape upon men during their first two years here. men, iresn in college, are humorously .believed to know very little of what is good for them. This may be quite true; but even among such immature persons it must be admitted that there is at least a small amount ot intelligence. The very fact that such a large number of stu dents must be strictly dealt with in order to force them to chape should give to the superior pow ers a hint that perhaps chapel is a senseless motion that should not be unless it, by evident value proves itself worthy of existing. If it, does this, compulsion wil not be necessary to supply it with audiences. OUR TIMES By Don Shoemaker Saturday, October 15, 193 Guest, proprietors." Taxes Recommended to the tax-pay- , mg-gnper, Margaret Cullen Banning's "The Lady on the Dollar" in the October 15 Sat urday Evening Post. Dozens of letters poured into this column yesterday in con demnation of "In the Main," which printed some nasty words about the conductor of this col umn in Friday's paper. We'd first like to know if "In the Main" is familiar with the crim inal libel laws of this state ; also (contributed) in what main? Then a city editor suggested that we threaten to disclose to the campus that the columnist's nickname is "Ducky- Wucky," but we decided to play fair and forget about the matter.
