Paragraphics
Headline: Burglar Surprised
By Bank Clerk ' Working Late.
So are we. -' , ,:
The sudden rise of brewery
stock since the election is point
ed to by someas an indication
of prosperity's return. But we
remember the old saying about
"counting one's chickens before
they're hatched."
"Alice in Wonderland," rated
in a recent catalogue being for
"small children," still leads as
one of the world's best sellers.
Which makes us wonder if the
world is so "ultra sophisticated"
after all.
Withdrawing the marines
from Nicaragua is like pulling a
splinter from an old wound, it
still leaves a sore place.
Roosevelt made a deep im
pression on the capital's news
papermen, says a Washington
correspondent. We remember
how the inimitable Teddy did the
same thing by crowning one with
a handy dictionary.

Change In
Quarters
According to reports the fac
ulty is now seriously consider
ing changing to a semister sys
tem in preference to the pres
ent quarter plan. On several
occasions before has this change
been contemplated but eachtime
the quarter system has been
found much more suitable.
The faculty has even gone so
far this time as to appoint a
special committee to investigate
the matter and tomake a re
port of its findings at a future
meeting. From a personal in
terview with the various .mem
bers of the faculty, it seems evi
dent that the sentiment is pret
ty well divided on the issue.
And unless those students fa
voring the present arrange
ment express themselves, there
is grave danger that the semi
ster system will be put into ef
fect. Several universities . and col
leges throughout .the country
have at one time or another
made surveys1 of this matter,
and have published the com
plete analysis of their work.
But in every one of these re-
I ports individual opinion is the
only authority given for the
various conclusions reached.
Consequently where the ques
tion seems to boil down to
nothing more than a matter of
opinion, the advocates of - the
quarter system need little fear
a change to the other arrange
ment, since the majority of
sane opinions are in their favor.
In this age of specialization it
would be entirely inconsistent
with the general plan of things
to change to a semister plan
where the student must be noth
ing short of a jack-of-all-trades
to keep up with his work. Un
der the quarter system '"tin
i 11..
worK is concentrated into one
short "period, during which
time the student has to concern
himself with only a small num
ber of subjects. As a conse
uence he is better able to devel
op himself along the line of
these courses before attempting
some other field of work.
The old adage of "one thing
at a time, and that done well"
is quite appropos of the quarter
plan. In short the student spec
ializes in his work from quarter
to quarter, thus giving himsel:
ime to delve deeply into each
individual course. On the other
hand in the semister arrange
ment his time is taken up with
so many courses that he has a
chance to get only a smatter
ing of each of his courses.
From practically every angle
hat the matter might be con
siderejd the quarter plan is un
questionably the most logical.
And especially is this true from
the standpoint of the amount of
concentration the student can
put on each course.
To adopt a semister system
would be nothing short .of a
backward step for this Univer
sity to take.
Only 22 More
Days Till Christmas
If the results of the recent
election are indicative of a trend,
the anti - prohibitionists have
won their fight for repeal. The
Democratic party went to the
polls with an outright repeal
plank in its platform. Now that
the Democrats are in power,
Vice President - elect Garner,
speaker of the house, proposes
to hold his Congressional col
leagues to the promise of their
party. .
Repeal being a future certain
ty, both statesmen and laymen
should turn their attention to
the next problem at hand: to de
vise a plan to regulate the sale
of legalized liquor in such a way
that it will yield the maximum
of profit to the federal govern
ment and at the same time pro
mote temperance.
In looking around for models
after which to pattern the Amer
ican system of liauor control.
Congress will find plans of all
types and degrees df effective
ness: the English, the Swedish,
and the Canadian systems. Of
the many variations of the Ca
nadian system, the plan used in
the province of Quebec is prob
ably most satisfactory, both in
its returns to the province
treasury and in encouraging
temperance. -
The thirsty citizen or visiting
American in Quebec can get dis
tilled liquor and wines through
the stores and mail order depart
ment of the Quebec Liquor Com
mission. In licensed hotels and
restaurants he may get wines
and beer with his soup and - fish
and spinach." On hot days and
cold nights, he can drink as
many mugs of beer as it takes to
cool him off or to warm him up,
in licensed taverns. If he likes
to blow the foam from his own
stein at home, he can get bottled
beer in licensed groceries.
Beer and wines are cheap and
easy to get. But whiskey and
other spirits are expensive and
more difficult to obtain. As with
any other indulgence, the citi
zen of Quebec must suit hi
drinking taste to the fatness or
leanness of his billfold.
In drafting the plan, it was
provided that the lieutenant
governor was to appoint the
liquor commission. Its members
are not subject to control or in
timidation by local politicians
unaer a local-option arrange
ment, any territory in the prov
mce may be wet or dry, as its
citizens vote. In wet districts,
1 1 . -ml
tne commission has lull power
to grant and to deny licenses to
taverns, hotels, and grocery
stores-. Private profit in liquor
has been abolished and all sur
plus profits are appropriated by
taxes to the government.
This system commends itself
to the United States, in the cer
tain event that- the Eighteenth
Amendment will be repealed.
However, in adapting any sys
tem to our particular situation,
care must be exercised that its
usefulness is not ruined by re
peal fanatics or bone-dry prohi
bitionists. Any plan that is
drafted must not be too extreme
in either direction. A mean posi
tion must be reached, else an
other experiment noble in pur
pose but ineffectual in practice
might result. E.C.D.
When the tour was over, the club
took a vote as to the best ma
chinery and apparatus as well
as product in town, but nobody
could remember much about it.

I personally approve of about
all of the recommendations
made by -the Brookings Institu
tion such as consolidations of
state departments and general
reform of the state and local
governments, but I have always
been very much opposed (pos
sibly somewhat for sentimental
reasons, but I have considerable
sentiment for my alma mater)
to the consolidation of the Uni-
dents at the time, for the gym
nasium was and still is sorely
needed.

We'll Pull Your Beard,
Mr. Shaw
America seems at last to be
about to claim just deserts after
years of patient suffering and
neglect. The Incomparable Mas
ter of Wit, George Bernard
Shaw, has almost weakened
against the entreaties of his
English fellow-6ountrymen to
pay a visit to the United States,
land from which the milk and
honey which grace the Shaw
family table have flowed since
the days when George was nurs
ing the first frail bristle on his
now bewhiskered face. The
bearded philosopher has made
much making little of our feeble
efforts toward civilization, and
now he is almost ready to con
descendingly pay us a "five-min
ute" visit this summer, sup
posedly to get some first-hand
knowledge of our excellent in
f eriority.
Specifically, he warned the
London newspapers that Amer
versity with State College and:ica might soon have the oppor

OUR TIMES
By Don Shoemaker
Kiss
Straw ballots have always
served as pretty conclusive cri
teria in the premature settle
ment of questions weighing up
on nations and races. Last year
the Tar Heel with its Disarma
ment poll managed to almost
completely disarm the several
international powers. The Daily
Princetonian straw poll re-elect
ed President Hoover by a size
able majority. The LitercLry Di
gest poll felt differently" about
the matter and gave the election
to Mr. Roosevelt. But here we
draw the line on straw ballots
and recommend for immediate
oblivion the polls conducted at
Northwestern and California
State Teachers College which
sought the opinions of co-eds on
the, "Decline and Fall of the
American Kiss." Thirty-six stu
dents at the California .institu
tion declared that they found
kissing a gentleman friend on
the night of the first date "sen
sible and generally satisfact
ory." The ladies at Northwest
ern were equally divided for and
against osculation . though on a
purely diplomatic policy.
This, we warrant, is only an
other indication of the crumb
ing of rare old American insti
tutions. Too many . straw bal-
ots have brought out the truth
about lots of things we-held in
reverence, including Disarma
ment, Hoover and Roosevelt.
This is certainly the last
straw ballot.
Beer
The Chemical Industries Club
of McGill University has de
cided that things in the organi
zation ha.ve come to a pretty
pass. Assiduous in their desire
to investigate conditions in Mon
treal industrial concerns, the
group conducted a tour through
several large city breweries to
investigate the methods and
chemical procedure in brewing
beer, the real stuff. After tra
versing several large breweries
and receiving free samples nf
he products of each concern the
class began to enter whole
heartedly into the spirit of the
uonege ior women. 1 agree
that it might have been wise to
have had a common purchasing
agency or business department,
but further than this I am un
alterably against the consolida
tion. I have been quite sur
prised that the Carolina alumni
have made practically no objec
tion to the plan. The principal
efficacious personality in words
of the following tenor:
"Next year I shall be on the
high seas and perhaps in the
neighborhood of the United
States. I may even land for five
minutes,"
And now America needs must
diligently educate herself before
the coming of the summer
witticisms.
She must guard "and protect
the sacred solemnity of the Eng.
lishman's tea, and take care that
some conscientious American
does not recall that Socrates also
wore a beard, and drank poison.
Let us have none of the wild
tooting of steamship whistles
and fog horns blaring out a dis
gusting American welcome as
His Highness treads the gang
plank. She must muzzle the ar
rogant ' manufacturers, gag the
crude mid-westerners, and drive
from the streets all the little
young Americans who chance to
be occupied by chasing the eagle
dollar.
. If we could arrange a full
fledged fox hunt for the gentle
man in which the fox was final
ly disposed of in the good old
English manner, then we might
strike close to George's heart.
But imagine our embarrassment
if some impudent American
strippling would retaliate to
Shaw's "Jolly time," and "Tally,
ho" with a "Hi-de-hi" and a "Ho-
de-ho."
The great condescender closes
his newspaper interview thus-
"I understand that the popu
lation of the United States is in
the neighborhood of a hundred
million, and any announcement
of my intentions would be dan
gerous, for the whole of the
population would rush to the
spot where I landed, and thus
disorganize the country."
About the only reason we can
find for the excessive concentra
tion of population on the occa
sion of Mr. Shaw's visit would be
the huge vacuum created when
the illustrious personage steamed
into the harbor. Purdue Ex

Hill. Recently when President
Graham was elected head of the
consolidated institution appar
ently to appease all parties con
cerned the recently elected board
of the "Greater University" (?)
gave out a statement of policy
in which it was set forth that
State College would be maintain
ed in its present dignity and
that the engineering schools at
both State and Carolina would
be maintained as presently con
stituted. I question then, why
consolidate at all? I rather an
ticipate that there will be con
siderably more disturbance rais
ed by Carolina alumni when the
full force of the change comes
upon them. Personally I am op
posed to the large middle west
ern type of co-educational insti
tution and the. present trend ap
pears to me to be leading inevit
ably to such a result. The ques
tion of co-education arose rather
acutely when I was a student at
Chapel Hill and the student body
at that time was overwhelm
ingly against co-education. :
worked hard at the time obtain
ing signatures to a petition
against the movement. It was
decided then that the policy of
the University would be not to
allow women to attend classes
in ,other than' the professional
schools and to take courses open
to undergraduates in the last
two years of their study which
were unavailable at North Caro
lina College for Women. This
was obviously a compromise and
it is my understanding that the
doors are now thrown wide open
and the women firmly entrench
ed at Chapel Hill. While I was
still at the University the trus
tees decided to buildi;he present
