John Dewey. ; STANDARDS Henry Nelson Lansdale was editor of the Buccaneer. He gave everybody a lot of raspber ries and occasionally a dip of cream and he didn't seem to mind what anybody thought. Know- ing Nelson pretty well, we know that he didn't have much faith in anybody's doing an awful lot of thinking, anyway. Nelson was that kind'of fellow. He decided, after the politi cians finally got his fate pretty well mapped out by sticking him at the helm of the erstwhile Fin- jan, that what this campus need ed was a dash of ice cold sub tlety instead of luke warm smut Last spring he m e a n d e r e d I, : r TTNf! rm?cc nr tm New Attendance Ruling Gives Say To Each Instructor Thrall , (Continued from first page) the student by the inclusion of terse characterizations of the successive literary periods in KrtfVi rmnfr?05 "RponnTliTltr "With the vear 1600. the English and American events are arranged in parallel columns, mis nas intended to make attendance never Deen uuue ucauic, mu conform to the ideas of the in valuable in that it makes possi- dividual instructors, the new fa ble a comparison at a glance of cuity ruling leaves all attend- what was going on in the two regulations to the teachers countries at the same time says except when a department Dr. lnrall. makes a uniform rule for its The outline starts with the ciasses earliest times and extends through the year 1930.

Six men represented Chapel Hill. They had been chosen by individual standing in prelimi nary tournaments held in con junction with the club's meet ings in the Y. M. C. A. every Friday night. Playing began in Danville, a neutral city, at 3:30 p. m. and did not end until 8:30 at night. It was the fourth annual meet with Roanoke, and Chapel Hill's success brings its total of vic tories over Roanoke to three. Members of the local club, in ter the politicians had told him what his cake was to be and tried to find somebody to help him be subtle, but had little success. So he figured up an idea for staff organization which will go down in Carolina publications history. He figured that if he sat down and wrote most of the stuff, all he would need to adorn the of fice would be a few nice, congen ial good-fellows who wouldn't get in his way, but would be more or less efficient in embell- 1 ishing the atmosphere with, shall we say, noblesse oblige.

Recent figures show that the Alpha "sreat minds of Aycock" and chapter of North Carolina has more undergraduate members writing for pleasure and the few than any other chapter in the scholastic fraternity. Phi Beta Kappa has ceased to be an honor on this campus. Any student with a will and a desire, coupled with a seriousness at keeping "up" in his work week by week, can make Phi Beta Kappa in stride. It is very encouraging, no doubt, that we have so many of these pluggers but it is not at all to the credit of an literati who enjoyed being naive ly tickled.

The word "Union" appears throughout' the articles and in other places there is the word; "Board." Every student on the campus is a member of the "Union" but the board comprises a member ship of only three students, and two faculty members. Where it states in Article IV 'that the president, secretary and treasurer of the Publishers Union Board will be ex officio officers of the Union, the meaning embraces nothing more than a recognition that the Union has at all times the power of ultimate decisions in actual changes in the publications set-up. Ordinary publica tions policy, l)ut changes in the number or cost of publications themselves are referred to a student vote. During our four-year tenure at Carolina there has been little need for referring any questions to the Union. Consequent ly, the functions of the officers have been for the most part the functions of board members. The situation fis analagous to the athletic association, in which every student is a member, yet iwhich has no organization other than the provisions for a super- Few Carolina students realize that they are members of the Carolina Publishers Union, the Athletic Association, the debate union and the student body all in one.
