Two great sociologists cjaim the tackle posts, Ernest JjL. Cfroves, leader in the field of marital problems, and Harold WrOduiu, recognized as the nation's foremost authority in social plan ning. Ayat has Stanford to offer at these posi tions? Clarence Heer, master of taxation, would mace. a,, peach of a center.. Edgar Knight, of educational tame, and t)arl bnavely, the football maestro, compose, a powerful guard pair. And Archibald-Henderson; mathematician and biog rapher extraordinary, and Frederick Koch, of footlights and foible should nag ' barrels of passes, and publicity at the, ends. Field General Frank Graham would make a heady, quarterback, and J. D.ashiell, eminent psychologist, and Vf. deB. MacNider, famous pharmacologist, would mae a hard-running pair oi halfbacks. Wih Marion abue, employment expert, at full, the team rounds out a true All American lineup. But C. .f. yoollen, manager, still has a tough jou on nis nanus gening pox-pmce receipts. . The War On ime Designed for careful readipg and judicious digestion is the article by Pypf essor Albert Coates on "Co-ordination of Anti-Crim Aptiy-: ities" which appears in the latest issue of PppU: lar Government, the official organ of the Instir tute of Government. For crime is a common problem; more than that, it is universally a menace tp the well-being of America. How significant it is that the first . steps are being taken in the direction of mobiliz ing every available force of the state, local, and national "governments in a war against crime can be appreciated as a pioneering enterprise that should have been embarked upon long ago. "In the day of the hue and cry," observes Mr. Coates, "a citizen was required to track the crim inal across his plantation to his property line and the adjoining landowner there took up the chase. Today the citizen's representative may track the criminal to the town, the township or the county line as the case may be, and if the scent is warm and the pursuit hot may cross it, not if the scent is cold. We stop to swap horses on our boundary lines. While the law is in hob bles, the criminal goes free." , University Facts in Red . . ' We have Felix Grisette's 1 timely University Facts to thank for a few more figures to portray very forcibly the misalignment in the Univer sity's economic and financial chassis. Four simple and expressive charts represent to the University-advocates the' decadent condi tion expressing the following situations : for the University at Chapel JliHr the !-r Appropriations rom the state have dropped 56 per cent and the enrollment increased 12 per cent, using 1925-za as tne base year; for the Consolidated University, state funds have .been diminished 60 per cent and the enrollment increased by one hundred students; using 1932 as the base year, the University's 55 per cent appropriations slice is contrasted with ths 250 per cent increase in farm income, the 20 per cent increase in ciga?- ette sales, and other income increases ; and final ly, a comparison of the cost of Hying and the, University salaries shows the latter at 8 per cent of the 1923-2SI lyel while the cost of living has reduced only 15s pec cent, and is rising again. Comment is hardly needed. The plight has been emphasized in these columns many times beipje. Our only remark would be to stress te ere importance pf action by the present session of the legislature, at whose, mercy rests the fate of North Carolina higher educational institutions. Pae, r"""" : to regard to the, npviBg pictures, college students may pe divide into tree grpups. There are the playboys who pride themselves, upon 'ftever gping; 'cinjeii:less- for, a day, those who pride themselves upon picking their pictures judiciously, and finally tiose who take, equal prjide in their ability tp esphew even the most tempting productions. This last group is per haps the, most pitiable of all, pitiable in that the students who comprise it are defeating the very purpose with which they are so sincerely striv inga thorough and complete educationing. Everyone has come, into contact with individ uals who are so eager for learning that they voluntarily shut themselves up in a shell with their books and absolutely refuse to stir forth for any recreation even though that recreation take the form of a nationally known speaker or a famous musician. And there-are a certain number of moving pictures, which fall into the same educational category. "We Live Again, - based on Tolstoy's "Resurrection' was one of them. Admittedly the style of a book cannot be projected upon a screen, but the spirit and historical significance need not be ost in a care ful production. And the movies do give us the added advantage pf being able to see, the, stpry live before our eyes. " ' . "The Little Minister,", VBfrey Sanare,'Vad "Treasure Island" arg ju a fe,w p the large number of classic works ich have been Wprtfr fly interpreted by Hollywood. Two hours, spent at any of them would reward the intellectnaly curious mind wih far more real food for thought than half a day spent on, Uninterested mumbliig of Spanish verps or even the successfuV cpn quering of De Moivre's Theorem. It's all in the picking. "Come, to thQ Prayer Meetin' " ' Despite the fact tliat mny intellectual cam pus organizations meet regularly and hare inter esting programs, the attendance seems very small. The majority of the members of one group are also the members of other grpups, which means tjiat the composite membership, is much smaller than one would be led to be lieve. Either the. great inass of the student body has perpetual spring fever, or, what is worse, it has not the least bit of intellectual curiosity. We ask the. question j Roes the fault lie with the leaders m the groups,? Do they plan merest ing sessions? Such tinie honored bodies as he. "Y," tlie Di and the Phi, the debate conncil, and the Foreign Policy. League actually have, not an aggregate attendance, of oyr 100 members. Aside from this there are few, if any, discussion groups of any importance, with the exception of the lan guage grpups, membership in which is not en tirely voluntary. Various ways pf advertising discussion groups have been tried. Perhaps it is the fault of the substance so advertised that attendance has been so. poor. But the groups seem to have done their best. Now it is obligatory that the student body take advantage of the opportunities at hand and participate in organized sessions, rather than in comparatively worthless "bull sessions" that are held from dawn till dusk. The paralytic condition of many of the cam pus groups can be directly traced on small ros ters and, reciprocally, the mental paralysis of the student body as a whole on the same' non attendance feature. We can only remark that opportunities are slipping by every day of which many could avail themselves. University Has Bull Fignting; Enthusiast In Dr. Meno Spann (Continued from page one) mer. vynue tne annual nesta there is in full swing, several cows, lean, vicious animals, are turned into the fighting arena and all comers may enter to try their skill as amateurs. The cow's horns are padded with thick leather, but at this particu lar time the padding proved to be slightly worn so that one horn was exposed. Dr. Spann, who had become entangled in , the mob of some 200 men who had turned out,- suddenly felt him self knocked off his feet. He sailed up into the air and then on the return trip to the "earth landed on the horns of the cow. The injury was painful but of no great consequence. ' Bull fighting is' an expression k - . . of a predatory instinct that is present in everyone, explains Dr. Spann. "We in America ta boo bull fighting and deny the existence of such" an instinct but nevertheless we turn out in large masses f o? motion pictnrs wiqh sfto mortal , combat, and we read greedily tlie newspa pers ,. about stories of bloody man-hunts," says the, professor. Spanish Idea "In 'Spain we do not find any of these signs of hypocrisy. Spain is a conscientiously re ligious nation, and as a counter movement for this extreme we find them expressing their pagan instincts , in bull fighting. And of. it they have made, not a gory spectacle that most Americans picture it to be, but a thing of artistic beauty and valor, with the, struggle, being a dance be tween a perfect dancer and a raging brute seeding to destroy its tormentor. Of course, death lies in the offing-r-death for the fighter,: or death for the bull so it might even be termed a dance pf death. "All Spain lpyps the national sport," continued the energetic ypung prpf essor. "It is said that tie peasants often hoard their meager sayings for a( year so that they can attend a mag nificent fiesta,' and witness sev eral bull fights. Tftey mingle in crowds of 10 to 15 thousand, paying from one to two dollars for the pnyilegp pi seeing the fight. Arid here, in. the, stodiuin under a blazing Spanish, su are seen gay ; cplprs and merry crowds consisting of experienced wise si.ectato.ra. "Pere they see a primitive drama, a combat between brutal nature and frail but intelligent man, and since there is a con flict resulting in death, it be comes a tragedy of the lower level but nevertheless with a cer tain cathartic effect on the audi ence," says Spann. "It is a dra ma of the flesh, a glorification of the body which modern religion has tended to dispise. Since there is always the presence of deatn ix is maae more pro found' The principal fights witnessed pyi Dr. Spann were held at Pam plona, Madrid, Barcelona, Va lencia, in Spain and Tetuan in Africa PRISETTE ISSUES UNIVERSITY FACTS (Continued from page one) a column of personal notes on University personalities," which he calls the "University Merry-Go-Round." Another unusual feature- of this issue of Grisette's paper is his "Academic All-American" team, on which he includes Pro fessors Dashiell, Groves, Heer, Henderson, Knight, Koch, Mac Nider, Odum, Trabiie and Coach Snavely. The captain and coach is President Graham, the busi ness manager, Controller Wool len, and the publicity director, R. W. Madry of the University News Bureau. TROOPS IN 1SAAR DURING ELECTION Z.-. - S . , - " . (Continued from . page one) on the present-day " issues in volved in the vote that will be held the day after tomorrow. Before the advent of Hitler, he said, it was estimated , that over 90 per cent of the popula tion was' in favor of joining Germany. Per Fuhr.eE, how ever, has alienated large por tions of the inhabitants, espe cially the Catholics. The "purge" of last June also came as a pro found shock to the citizens of the Saar. Troops Significant yhe speaker, considered the presence o international troops or great sigiiicance They. ae now cohcentratecl in the area in case of emergency. Schulz. caljed attention to the fact that the'' league does not necessarily have, to abide b the decision of the plebiscite. In case, of a close vote, he said, the league may not gye the Saar to either' France or rmany. IJpeveir ie;'f5Ct te pro Gerjnaii group tp carry the elec tion Sunday. , line Joints In thie extemporaneous discus sion whicli followed the two speeches,: Phil Hammer listed nine points of -interest .which had occurred to him : 1. Of 38 newspapers in the Saar, he said, 33 are pro-Hitler; 2. It has been rumored tjiat Hitler trained ' picked youths from the Saar for "the fight." 3. Hammer raised the ques tion, "Would the league protect the minority elements of the Saar after the vote?" 4. At present, he pointed out, the inhabitants of the Saar are using French money backed by 80 per cent gold. Will they be willing, Hammer asks, to go to Germany "and change their francs for, marks that are back ed by only 2 per cent gold ? 1 5. The Baar is now enjoying art unusiarprosperity, and has no debts saddled upon her. Join ing Germany may mean the' en,d of this prosperity. : ! " 6. e called attention tq tie fact that Germany is reported to be sending voters into the Saar. 7. France, he says, does not now need, nor want, the coal de posit? of the Saar river basin,. 8. Although the league cjoin missioner gpyerning- 'the" Saa has been extremely fair, Ham mer said, he is one of the most hated men in Germany; 9. In Hammer's opinion,' the real essence of the Saar plebis cite is : Can the settlement of such an important international liuesuon De maae peaceably ! Becker EIecte4 Previous to the discussion on the Saar, the . Foreign Policy League elected Don Becker to take" the place of Ezra Griffin as secretary! Griffin was forced to resign because of the pressure of his law courses. Joe Barnett and John Parker were also nomi nated for. the office, Barnett de clining the nomination. Agnew Bahnson, president of the group, conducted the meet ing last night. He told the club briefly of plans for consolidate jng the colleges of southeastern United States into a vocal unit for expressing opinions on, fpr eign affairs, particularly as they affect the international policy of this country. - ,'" ' The group voted to meet every other Thursday for an hour dur ing this quarter. This is a con tinuation of the policy the club has been following.
