ing personalities to creep into
issues too much.
Now if the title of the Wed
nesday debate had been: Re
solved, That Wishart is a better
Ted than Durfee is a hard-rock,
then nobody would have cared
much about what who thought
of whom. But when the debate
.arose over an issue and present
ed the first public campus argu
ment on this issue, then we'd
rather hear the personalities dis
cuss issues than themselves.
All in all, however, the de
bate was very pleasing. We're
glad somebody got something
off their chest at last. The out
come of the argument was, of
course, watched with great in
terest by Jewett Shouse and the
TJ. S. S. R. commissaries.

TO FAME
Beta Kappa last night, the an
nual spring round-up of brains
has been completed. . The elec
tions took care of the last round
up, which didn't particularly fea
ture brains but it got the wild
lorses in the corral, at any rate.
Entrance requirements into
Phi Bete's corral, however, are
not as clear as politics, which,
though muddy, covers the
ground. We know of one young
gentleman who has just complet
ed eight consecutive quarters
of 94.5 average and he didn't
iget invited to wear the little
.golden key. Somebody forgot to
tell him about getting a requir
ed Spanish course off. Scholar
that he was, he didn't have
sense enough to look for any
other requisites outside of being
a good scholar, which he was.
Next year. Phi Bete officials
would do well to make it clear
to all promising or hoping-to-be
Phi Bete material just exactly
what the score has to be before
the key is handed over.

ANOTHER
FUNCTION " . , ;
tion in refusing to
grant the freshman class its
ten per cent Yackety Yack cut,
because it did not pay by the
stipulated date, brings out an
other point in favor of organiz
ing student activities.
The freshmen gave their
"'greenness in general" as an
excuse for not getting the money
in on time, in order to receive
a discount. This surely should
be no excuse, as any intelligent
freshman, no matter how green,
s hould know enough about .his
duties to write a little check
fter a little study.
But it apparently is an excuse
under our present set-up. And
freshman officers aren't the
only ones who don't know what
the score is. Chalk up another
function for Pool's committe on
activities and improvements.

"Disgusting" is what Dr.

"American liberal education."
He says that "liberal" has come
to mean "traditional" and that
a liberal education fails -in its
purpose of providing a well-
founded personality.
As an aid in remedying the
defects of our "medieval" edu
cation he proposed sweeping
changes both in the curriculum
and aims of a liberal education.

Three dim forms patrol be

It is the University Symphony
Orchestra out in one wing of
the Forest theatre stage prepar

scene of Hamlet. The same

Fanfares before the entrance

The wailing Latin syllables of
the "Angus Dei," sung by the

Ophelia's sad journey to her
grave; and when Claudius says
his royal prayer, Allegri's "Mis

club in the wings.

order to succeed Dr. A. R. New

the college from 1885 to 1905,
his mother is now librarian at
Wake Forest, and he himself
holds his A.BJand MA. from
that college.

November 11, 1933.
He is author of a pamphlet
and several articles on North
Carolina history. A volume by
him, "The Commerce of North
Carolina, 1763-1789," will be
brought out soon by the Yale
University Press.
