John Dewey. QUESTION MARK People out in the state looking at Chapel Hill this winter have seen 51 students expelled in a wholesole purge by the Student Council. They have observed the gathering of belligerent forces against Consolidation policies. At Dr. Graham's program to de centralize athletics they wonder. The recent coalescing of anti- liberal factions in the state to remove President Graham from office puzzles them. The reaction of the people of North Caro lina to what has been going, on at the University this winter is a bewildering question mark. Little effort has been made on the part of University officials to explain to the people of the state the administration's policies pn consolidation, athletics, and other problems. Consequently it is only natural that the people of the state should be puzzled. " Every year the University Club? to interest prospective Uni versity students in Carolina, sponsors throughout the stat special smokers for high school students. During the coming holidays 'these entertainments will again take place. In the past," speakers at these affairs have been prominent alumni from the towns in which the entertainments are held. With the bewilderment now so common among the people of North Carolina about the University, the University Club smok ers will, in all probability, be futile, unless some attempts are made to explain at these entertainments something of the aims and goals for which the University is striving. We suggest that the University Club enlist the services of mem bers of the University faculty to go out in the state during the coming holidays and, in connection with the special smokers, de liver public talks on exactly what is happening at Chapel Hill and what administrative officials are trying to do. This procedure would make clear many misconceptions and help organize forces in support of President Graham. WE MAKE HISTORY Debaters ' (Continued on last page) Seawell, endowed by nature with a carrot hued thatch, says that arguments for him were in evitable. Thus, from the begin ning, he was forced to accept nature's ultimatum and enter the field of debating. For four years he wandered around Sanford High School, accumulating medals for oratory to match a four year monogram for debating. Armed with these he then set out to conquer life and the University of North Carolina. in nis senior year ne was elected presiding officer of his literary society. After the requisite four years of A.B. work, Seawell was grad uated into the law school, where he was selected for the Law Re view in his first semester. He will receive his law degree this summer and hopes to continue his debating before a jury. McMuIlan j&LCMuiian was watcned over for the first five years of his life by a colored nurse who suffered from an affliction of speech com monly known as stammering. "After I had successfully du plicated that defect, my parents were faced with the problem of remedying the trouble. As a so lution my father forced me to participate in all declamation contests and debating activities in grammar and high school." This was how he started his de bating career. During his first year at the University, he pledged Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He spent tne ioiiowmg summer pushing a bicycle 900 miles across Germany and Austria. nis return to college was marked by an increased interest in literary societies and debat ing. Another year passed and Mc Mullan became prominent in the debate squad, taking part in many intercollegiate debates. The try-outs for the impending European trip were begun, and after giving up all hope, he sud denly discovered that he was one of the lucky two to be chosen. To all intents and purposes the winter quarter is now a part of the history of the University. There remains, of course, the small matter of examinations, but student activities of an extra-curricular nature have come to a close. And history was made this quarter. Most important from the point of view of future student life at the University was the tre mendous undertaking of revising the honor system, following the hectic episode which proved that the honor system IS WORKING, The great work of classification of the data collected from the honor, questionnaire still remains to be done. An energetic com mittee will present the findings at the. beginning of the spring quarter. ! From the University point of view, the item of greatest signifi cance was the adoption of the Graham Plan of athletic eligibility together with the repercussions from alumni sources. The stu dent-planned counter movement is an indication of the fact that on logical grounds personalities must not come in for censure .when their opinions disagree with the opinions of others. The activity against the comprehensive examinations, although noj; fruitful as yet, has definite possibilities of being considered. The data is collected. Recommendations will be made during the spring quarter. - . Dances called off. Athletic tournaments. Student Council over stepping its bounds (as yet undefined by a constitution). The formation of the ASU and the CPU. The Playmakers following the lead of Broadway and forsaking folk plays for propaganda plays. An historic quarter. Alumni Contest (Continued front page one) tured. In this contest alumni will "vote" by contributing to the fund. Competition is to be among classes and among coun ties of the state to determine which can produce contributions from the largest percentage of its alumni. The contest will be conducted by class chairmen and by committees for the counties. Solicitation will be almost en tirely by mail. In a similar con test last year, the class of 1916 won first place with more than 31 per cent of its members, both graduating and non-graduating, making contributions. McDowell led the counties with Oxford and Cary as close runners up. TODAY'S RELIGION best bargain is the business genius. He is the man who is the most sought for. If, m his business deal he has "mopped op" on his brother business man, regardless of how that "mopping up" affects his broth er and those dependent on him, he is congratulated by his asso ciates, as being a keen business expert. In his high handed way he has cheated his brother, he has beat him in the trade, he has taken more money in the ex thange than he is deserving. He knows it, yet he soothes his con science by saying "that is busi ness." Where did we get the idea that that is business? It is little short of highway robbery performed in a mild way. The trouble with highway robbery is, the man who is robbed is re lieved suddenly. He has no time to think it over. If he is given a chance to rob the other man it seems to be all right. Business robberies are fair we say because they give each fellow a fair chance to get his fellowman first. The best dealer wins by hook or crook. So that is business. When a car is trad ed or a piece of real estate is exchanged, each man, however honest he may appear, is looking out for the best end of the bar gain. It never dawns on him that such a thing is a social com- By Allen P. Brantley One of the virtues of our reli gion is Truth. Then why not practice it? We think of so many ways to get around the truth. In business the truth will often times hurt. It doesn't . always pay as much in dollars and cents to practice the truth. Is that a valid reason, therefore, for keeping the truth out of busi ness? Is money of more value to our bodies than the truth is to our souls? Shall we sell the birthright of a godly heritage for a mess of pottage? Shall we sell the ideals of the commercial world out, short? In high business circles the man who can drive home the modity and both parties should be dealt with in a fair manner. Each man wants the best end in the trade, and false representa tion is so easily resorted to. Now the question arises as to legitimate profit on a trade. Can both traders derive a certain profit? Why not be truthful and allow each one to share in the profits? In society the truth sometimes hurts.4 We don't always tell the. truth to our best friends for we know how it will affect them. But is it right to hold back the truth when we know perfectly well they deserve to know the truth? Many times lives have been marred, future possibilities have been denied them because we have failed to be absolutely truthful with those whom we are supposed to love. The truth often hurts. But it often takes a hurtful operation to save our lives. More people would be saved from moral shipwreck if we were more ardent in telling them the truth about themselves. In pleasant social relations the truth is evaded as much as in any other sphere o activity. The most promising social climber is- arc. expert sidestepper when it comes to truth. He says. or she says just the thing that the other wants to hear. The- truth is held fn'no higher esteem- than an untruth. The thing that best suits the person and the oc casion is the thing that is said. We are, therefore, determined in business and in society to gain our desired ends by truth or untruth just as it aids in the acquisition of the same. Reli gion condemns such practices Religion stands for unadulterat ed truth at all times and in all places. A practical religion stands for the Truth? the whole Truth and nothing but the-Truth.
