Educational bystem D.B. ' Mith Contemporaries Post Season An old adage has it that the bet ter policy is to "let sleeping , dogs lie." Tis rumored that our venerable faculty mem bers are appreciative of the past quiet set of dances. For this reason I refrain from arousing more than two, or three, of last week's still slum bering pups. I hate to dis illusion the folks. Marion Mann certainly started something by .her rendition of "What Are Little Girls Made Of." The wee small . hours after the last dance found an '; enterprising group, well equipped with ladder and microscope, attempting to do a little research work to de termine the ingredients of said f emmes in the Carolina Inn. v The select . committee reports startling discoveries. AleXrHaynes will vouch for the fact that a -dumb-waiter .has more in life than just ups and downs. His portrayal of Tom Collins (or was it Floyd, Col lins?) was one of the high lights of . the week-end events. The S. A. .E. boys have a new form of sport in -which Acee jMcDonald excels. His marks manship with an air rifle qual ifies ; for . a bodyguard's cer tificate with Al Capone. , What well, known D. K. E. in troduced a new game during the dances. It seems that the guy who. is "it", shuts his eyes and . rushes onto . the dance floor. ., The first girl he runs across, or over, is danced with. The gentleman who gave birth to this novel idea swears that there wasn't a bad babe at the dances. Well, he should certainly know. Dr. May made ", a . sporting bet last" Saturday afternoon and . would have won except for one slip-up. He stated that all . who partook of ; his pre scription would not enjoy the coming evening dance. At ten minutes of twelve one patient wandered into the Tin Can by mistake and Medico May (who didn't partake since he made the stuff) lost his bet by Hedgepeth's nose. One of our better fraternities announces with pleasure, the final and certain departure of three good brothers from Brown. A memorandum simi lar to Daniel Boone's was en tered into the Zilch house rain-: ute book, "Brown brothers killed a bar. Dec 1, 1933."

While reading the New Yorker last, week, we It is quite true that Americans have partaken noticed several pages which were entirely blank, of the idea of mass education. And it is equally Since we had noticed the same thing in several true that many graduates of our institutions of other nationally known magazines, we inquired higher learning are no more educated than as to the cause. The answer was one which we trained circus seals. But it is an undeniable could hardly believe. fact that the facilities for a liberal and cultura It seems that in the sovereign state of North education ar.e offered the students of practically Carolina, liquor advertisement is prohibited by every college or university, in America.

Publications Union board is among . those organizations which were , organized with the idea that it should be run joint ly, by . the students and the f ac ulty. , Like , a number, of ., such schemes it has failed to produce results, entirely satisfactory to the students. This does not mean, that ,ithas not had ef ficiency . and the conscientious support of the faculty, but sim ply that, it has not been what might be best classified as a student . organization. As the scheme was originally, the faculty members were ex pected ,to act' as advisers, and this condition probably did ex ist for a time. For some time it has been entirely under the sway of the faculty with a few extraordinary occasions. This condition has been possible through the hopes of some mem ber of each P. U. board to get some position by the vote of the board at the. end of his term; hence students fell into line with the. permanent members. To remedy this condition and give the organization more into the hands of the student body, it .seems wise to change thisxper manency and to .the accomplish ing of that result it will be necessary to change the consti tution of the board. An amend ment to the effect is worth the hall; electrical engineers, any: time Wednesday, and Thursday with Professor Lear in Phillips hall ; and mechanical engineers Wednesday, and Thursday 'Avith Professor .Hoefer in Phillips-hall. Must Secure Permits AH students must secure per mits from the office of the regis trar in South building before at tempting to register. Juniors and seniors in the college of liberal arts who have majors must consult the heads of the major department for a program of studies which is to be present ed at registration. Students in education must see Dr. N. W. Walker for their program and then must register in the office of Dean A. W. Hobbs in South building along with the students in the school of liberal arts. Freshman engineering stu dents must secure permits to register between December 12 and December 20 from the reg istrar's office. They must leave these permits with Mr. Hollett in room 315 Phillips hall before leaving for the holidays. They will receive their registration cards January 3 between 9 :00 and 10 :30 o'clock in, the morn ing. - ... I , '. ' , : . -No Expense to Register All students should , register before the holidays whether they expect to return to school dur ing the winter quarter or not as there is no expense for registra tion. Any student who is resident at the University during the fall quarter and fails to register during the registration period will be placed on class probation for a period of one month for each day's delay, and will be charged a fee of $5.00 for de layed registration. No excuse will be accepted for delayed registration. If a student has registered be fore leaving for the holidays and finds that he is unable to return to school, the registrar's office must be notified ,in order to cancel his .registration.
