COLLEGE DAILY IN THE SOUTH . ''f x TO CREATE A CAMPUS PERSONALITY" A JOURNAL OP the Acnvmcs OF CAROLINIANS VOLUME XLIV EDITORIAL PHOSE 4JJI CHAPEL HILL, N. C ; SUNDAY, JANUARY 5 1936 BUSINESS PHOXE 4JJ6 ' NUMBER 71 THE ONLY T THE CAMPUS KEYBOARD by Phil Hammer Crusading Against Accidents Has Become the Largest Issue of Collegiate Press Stedeiijts To Petition Goyemor For Bioin Hall. HEBREW HISTORY COURSENOWOPEN Professor Caldwell will Teach New Survey of Semitic His-; tory During This Quarter College editors the nation over are joining in the mammoth campaign for safe driving. Cam pus sheets have re-printed the Reader's Digest "-And- Sudden Death" by the scores, have in augurated drives for safe drivr ing oaths, and have made the cry the largest single issue in collegiate press today. ; Up in New England, following z. safe driving pledge campaign inaugurated by the Hartford (Conn.) Times, Harvard, Dart mouth, Yale and other schools have enthusiastically . subscribed to a movement, which, it seems, is having its results. The fact of less accidents have been di rectly attributable to the sweep ing undergraduate feeling. So grave a problem has the accident situation become that President Roosevelt has appoint ed Secretary Roper and Senator Moore to head a committee to make a national study in an ef fort to curb the mounting death toll. " , This University has not been without its serious accidents. Within the last few years, over a half-dozen of our . dearest friends arid :: classmates" Tiave been the victims - of Highway Death reaping her daily toll. The most recent death still viv idly lingers in our minds, not only for the sorrow which it brought, but also for the blind ness of the Goddess of Justice who dismissed the criminal who committed the crime at the wheel of his car. because "there was no evidence of criminal neg: ligence." It is significant that , youth, is making its stand against Death on the Highways as vigorously as it has stood against the Grim Reaper of War; - To most of us -Death on the Highways is : even more, vital than the; latter, -. ..as. we Jiveon! the very fbattle- And youth can do more in this fight than in fighting against a military war. It owns the in struments, it directs the troops, it buys the munitions. And by the grace of God, let's hope- it will have something to say in the tribunals which have the power to punish the aggressors, the criminals who get away free and turn again to their joyous busi ness of sailing down the high ways in lanes of human blood. To our University administra tion which is placing men on probation because they came ack after vacation in busses which went cautiously and 5lowly and carefully to protect human lives, we recommend for their consideration that instead of probation for the passengers they send a note of thanks to IUa 1... uus drivers who were in telligent enough to drive safely. COMING? IN FEBRUARY Registration is still open for Hebrew History 98, a new course this quarter, meeting at 12 o clock on Mondays, Wednes days, and Fridays under Pro fessor Caldwell. The course will consist of a rapid survey-of Hebrew history up to the fall of Jerusalem and of the origin and development of the early Christian church. Emphasis will be laid on the re ligions of the early Semites and on the development of the He brew religion from Moses through the prophets into the post-exilic and Apocryphal per iods. Particular attention will also be paid to the rise and spread of Christianity in the Roman empire. , Arrangements have also been made for four other courses in : ''if 'f " .
