No Ec Seminar There will be seminar tonight. no economics "Why do northern boys choose a college 600 miles away fromj home when they might attend any one of the many high-grade schools in the north?" frequent ly wonders the southern student. The query is one perhaps which: every one of the four or five hundred Carolina students, whose homes extend from New England to the Middle West, has been asked time and again. The answer to such a definite question can hardly be rendered with complete satisfaction. Since most entering students are relatively young and are still m the so-called impres sionable age," it is only natural that the majority be influenced in their plans by biased sugges tions and hints, or accounts of others' experiences. This is generally the case with the stu dents coming here from 'up yon der.' The stories of the ath letics, freedom of the students, pretty southern "gals," and many others that have been spread. doubtless attracted scores of gullible high school boys. Thought School a Crip One fellow explained, "I heard that this was one of them joints where all you need to get in is a high school diploma, and almost any kind of a scholastic average." This attitude toward smaller southern institutions is typical of many northern boys, who certainly undergo keen re sentment and disappointment at not finding the. University as simple a proposition as they had supposed it to be. Of course the. greatest lures Carolina holds for these Yan kees are its appreciably low tu ition and general living ex penses. Hundreds of boys have migrated to Chapel Hill with the understanding that there they would find at least a fairly- high-grade school with costs as low as can be expected. The rate of tuition here is consider ably lower than most northern schools and as such attracts the eyes of the educationally-mind ea out siim-pocKetDooKea nor thern youngsters. Several students interested in athletics claim that the records of Carolina teams, especially the tennis team, added to the interest already created by the Jr monetary aspect ana easy en trance requirements. One so phisticated freshman pointed out another possible reason for a northern inplex. Taking his own case as an example, he said the opinions of parents play an important part. From his conversation it was gathered that he was quite a "cut-up" at home, and that his parents sad ly, yet sensibly got rid of him by sending him six hundred miles away. The mutual under standing was that he should re turn at the end of four years with some sense and seriousness Toiocked into his head.'
