HILL MUSIC HALL
VAUNTICTURES
Gallery of Many Types of Prints
will Line Rotunda Until Mid
dle of November
Plastering the walls of the ro
tunda of the Hill Music hall is
a display of wood cuts, etchings,
lithographs, and aquatints.
These rectangles of pasteboard
carry prints of one kind or an
other that range from impres
sionistic ideas of musical instru
ments to the portrayal of fruit
bowls. J .
Familiarly catching the eye
are two wood cuts executed by
Rockwell Kent. These, and the
others, have been lent by the E.
Weyhe Gallery, of New York
City. The display will be contin
ued until November 16.
Technicalities
To one uninitiated into the in
tricacies of the fine graphic arts,
a print was nothing but a print.
However, after a visit yesterday
to the exhibit in Hill Music hall,
prints took on much more com
plexity. There seem to be such
things as grounds of resin, and
dry points, and many more very
technical sounding terms.
Etchings are printed from
copper or zinc plates that have
l)een eaten out by acid in the de
sired design. The familiar rota
gravure sections of metropolitan
newspapers, are produced in
much like manner. The only dif
ference lies in the addition of
photographic processes and high
speed roller presses.
Inversely, wood-cuts are print
ed from the surface of a block

HARLANDS STRUCK
IN AUT0C0LLISI0N
Both Knocked to Pavement by
Hurtling Car but Suffer Only
Severe Shock and Bruises
Dr. and Mrs. J. P. Harland
were slightly injured last night
at about 9 :3Q when two Chevro
lets collided at the Franklin and
Columbia street intersection and
one of the cars was hurled up
against the Harlands, who hap
pened to be crossing Franklin
street at the moment, knocking1
them both to the cement. The
car balanced on two wheels for a
brief instant, appeared to start
led spectators as though it would
topple over and pin the Harlands
beneath it, but finally righted it
self. The accident occurred when a
black 1932 Chevrolet coach, dri
ven by Hubert Yeargin of Route
2, was struck by a 1934 Chevro
let sedan driven by Mrs. S. W. J.
Welch of 209 Rosemary Lane.
According to eye-witnesses,
the car driven by Yeargin was
coming from the direction of
Carboro on Franklin street and
was crossing Columbia when the
Chevrolet driven by Mrs. Welch,
coming down Columbia street
from the direction of the Caro
lina Inn, struck his right rear
fender.
Spectators said that Mrs.

Why colleges all over the world
to faculty advisorships and other
agencies to contact directly the
student and his problems has
been a question that many mod
ern students have failed to an
swer. The answer is clear enough,
though, if the undergraduate
looks at the modern educative
process historically and also in
the light of social trends. Back
when colleges were instructing
only a few students and when
society made no demands on the
results except that the boys ac
quired a little culture, the pro
fessor was able to learn the stu
dent even as he taught him.
There were frequent contacts,
frequent . heart-to-heart talks
about the student's work and
his aims, and frequent discus
sions on the common ground of
education in general. r
Then came the era of a high
speed society. It had a trans
forming effect on higher educa
tion; -In the first place, the pro
f essor became a highly-special!
CAMPUS KEYBOARD
Dr. Dewing will Discuss Byzan
tine Historian Before Philo
logical Club Tonight
Procopius was a sixteenth
century Byzantine historian who
wrote in a tradition like that
followed by the 20th century
authors of "Washington Merry-Go-Round."
His "Secret History of Justin
ian," emperor of the Eastern
Roman Empire from 527 to 565,
was so scandalous a revelation
of the corruptness of governmen
tal morals that it remained un
published during the author's
life.
H. B. Dewing, Procopius au
thority and himself a. former
faculty member of Robert Col
lege in Constantinople and first
president of Athens College,
Greece, will give a lecture, "Pro
copius and Sixth Century Con
stantinople," before the Philolo
gical Club tonight at 7:30 in the
lounge of the Graduate Club.
Although he is an American,
born in (Jbnnecticut, Dr. Dewing,
whose translations of Procopius
were published this year by the
Harvard University Press, has
spent a considerable part of his
lifetime in the Near East.
lioing to Constantinople in
1910, he taught the classics
there until 1916. He saw the
much publicized "suffering Ar
menians" at close hand in 1918-

Great Tar-Mags In

Buccaneers Go Ritzy
Members of the editorial staff
of the Buccaneer will hold a
formal dinner tonight in a pri

Inn. '
The affair will be in the nature
of a staff meeting and there
will be no guests or speakers.
This is the first time that such
a dinner has been held, but plans
are underway to have a similar
affair each quarter in the fu

In the second place, society de
manded that college products
were above all good citizens. In
the third place, the student him
self changed from an inquisitor
into intellectual realms to an
inquisitor into the social techno
logy.
Above all the individual pupil
is the object of educative pro
cesses. It's not what you teach
but to whom you teach that
counts in the long run. The new
professors, operating under new
high-speed and broad curricula,
found themselves neglecting, the
human element and emphasiz
ing teaching instead of learning
their charges. So, along with
new curricula designed to fit the
student into the mad whirl of
modern society, colleges deve
loped a personnel service and an
advisory system. In other words,
today there are needed two agen
cies rather than one to care for
the' thousands of youths who
each year flock to the campus
to learn how to be better and big
ger social beings.- P.G.H.

WOLF GIVES TALK
FOR CAPITALISM
Sophomore "Y" Cabinet Hears
Economist Uphold a Modified
Capitalism for America
"There is not a one of you in
this room who is sure that he
will be able to get a job when
he graduates," was the challenge
Dr. Harry Wolf threw down to
sophomore Y. M. C. A. cabinet
members last night.
Focusing his discussion on the
weaknesses and strong points of
the capitalistic system, Dr.
Wolf commended the concepts
of individual liberty embodied in
capitalism, but deplored its lack
of security. He advocated un
employment, old age, and work
man's compensation "insurance.
Dr. Wolf does not favor the
Townsend plan.
Dr. Wolf introduced capital
ism as "the most proficient
means of producing goods and
services the world has ever
known." He pointed out how
admirably suited to this politi
cal and economic theory of lais-;
sez faire our country was until
the free land gave out in 1890.
Must Act Now
Dr. Wolf then proceeded to
show how the haphazard, laissez
faire theory of economy which
had prevailed, continued. "It has
lagged for 40 years," he pointed
out. "We are now forced to
act." .
Features of .capitalism which
Dr. Wolf would have retained
are free property rights, free en
terprise, freedom of contract,
