For This Issue 'News: Newton Craig. Sports: John Eddleman Pin Points ttmHE SCHOOLING of a technician," stated Dean Spruill in a recent assembly talk, "is less im portant than the education of a man." In modern society thousands of technicians, each trained in his particular narrow groove, abound to meet a thousand minute problems. A generation of specialists, we are ready to take care of oar little corner of the house, but few are willing or competent to assume the responsibility of general conclusions for the whole household. 'What specialization has given us we lack the abil ity to control. The result has been a breakdown in the field of general social management, and chaotic confusion. Yet in our liberal colleges the biologist is busy teaching biology; the mathematician, math; the Hstprian, historyand i it is assumed that the separate pursuit of these departmentalized sub jects will result in an integrated insight into the nature and needs of the social order. Specializa tion, which produces knowledge, education has adopted as a method for understanding the uni verse. Instead of being centered around a planned attack upon the understanding and controlling of civilization, education tends toward a series of rel atively uncorrected specialisms. Synthesis and the social application of knowledge are, in the main, absent. If the object of education is to be the enrich ment of our social order, understanding and con trol of society education for social mastery must be college's reason d'etre. The day after our 143rd birthday, we might pause and ask our selves if we are fulfilling that purpose or merely turning out the technicians ' Dean Spruill talks about. Liberalism Fahrenheit FRANK KNOX will blow in and out again this morning dropping Republican remarks on us all. Unscheduled by the national committee of his party, Knox's appearance in Chapel Hill comes on the invitation of the University at his own pleas ure which sign of preference for us is very sig nificant in view of the candidate's omitting other anxious sections of the country from his itinerary. Congratulatory remarks are in order for the Caro lina Political union: as again this week they bring the campus the kind of stimulant they promised they would last spring. The attitude with which we receive Candidate Knox and his platform will constitute today's reading on the gauge of Caro lina liberalism and intelligent open-mindedness. M. S. o Give 'Env A Break A FREQUENT pleasant diversion in campus life are the Grail dances. And a pleasant part of these" dances is that interlude when . the Grail members solemnly display their knowledge of the dance while the rest of the dancers sit arourid smoking, watching, or just sitting. No-breaks (when not caused by circumstances beyond one's control) are usually enjoyed by all concerned. The Grail would be moving another step towards the objective of putting on better dances if they would give the rest of the partici pants at their dances a "break," i. e., a no-break. E. L. K. r. SAND AND SALVE By Stuart Rabb Information X- DcsJc Founders Day Oh Founders Day Behold that Day by all so long awaited By man and dog enrolled in U. N. C. When faculty procession lengthy-gaited Files by enrobed for all to see. Dirge: Let every man rise and shout "Hooray For Founders' Day, Oh Founders' Day. Up in Illinois, home state of Colonel Frank Knox, the Rever end L. A. Crown has just com pleted a straw vote. This is not of the presidential genus it is an effort to identify the "worst sin" extant. Results' show that Public Sin number one is "the abuse of high privilege." "Aha," say the Democrats "you economic royalists and high priests of intrenched greed you are the sinners." "You Democrats," says the G. O. P., "how you do talk. .You platform smashers, you bank rupters you have sinned be fore this nation." . From which it is safe to con clude that people always think someone is sinning usually somebody else. Alb in Pikutis, concert master of the University symphony or chestra, received a large fruit cake from home last Tuesday. He was asked if it was good and he said he did not know had. too many roommates. Clarence Joyce has been mak ing bi-weekly visits to Greens boro.

Cone The triumph of a good artis tic performance over one of the opposite sort comes in large measure from the participator's ever being conscious of his in tentions.? What the artist says must be i good in itself, but it only comes across to a general audience when it is presented -with complete conviction, and tnat necessitates understanding. As much a triumph was the Sunday concert by Kay Rickert Defenbacker, violinist, assisted by Peter Hansen at the piano, as was the magnificent spectacle of the Jooss ballet on Thursday, re gardless of the great difference in the two performances with respect to the medium involved, pretension as to excellence in the total field, or amount of prepa ration. Light Program Mrs. Def enbacker's program, while touching upon serious notes, was in general light and easily understood. A gracious Beethoven, a Mozart rondo em bellished and . romanticized by Kreisler, an atmospheric tone painting by Lili Boulanger, led finally to three movements from the effective Symphonie Espagnole by the French-Spanish Lalo, who achieves brilliance and color if not prof undity. . The artist possesses consider able musicianship and an ade quate technique, with a tone that is solid, clear, well defined, and always gratifyingly . true to pitch. Definite also are her in tentions and the resulting exe cution. It is this sort of per formance that should find its best vehicle in the Brahms Con certo or any such serious music, in which it would have the addi tional asset of that quality which the older critics like to call "youthful buoyancy." Deft Handling Mrs. Defenbacker perhaps ap proached these lighter pieces too sternly and solidly. It is better to be firm than to give way, but playing is often helped by far greater shading in dynamics, particularly more variation to ward the soft side, than was heard on Sunday. However, nuance was not absent by any means, and there was much charm, particularly in the deft handling of the last movement of the Symphonie. A straight forward reading, moreover, is always preferable to a display of pyrotechnics; imitating the more superficial tone effects of some master performers, but neglecting the spirit of the music. The ensemble of violin - and piano was good insofar as it cre ated a feeling of unity, with never any pulling apart in oppo site directions. But the piano would have done far better .to speak vigorously for itself. The Pianist Mr. Hansen, whether timid in the matter or just gallant in the old fashioned sense, kept pretty well in the background. Nevertheless, the piano part was clear and musical within the dynamic limits it set for itself, and there was much finesse in the performance. The audience had every reason to feel musi cally convinced; Public enemy number one on Graham dormitory's third floor is William Austin Dillon, Jr. the Astaire of Chapel Hill. He" is becoming a finished tap dan cer, but the third floor sleepers wish he already was finished. Birds of a feather flock to gether, even if it is wet weath erBill Dowling, Bob Hesse, Eddie HI, Freddie "Cook, and Driver Sam Engs seemed to en joy the rainy weather Saturday, because after they had watched the football game in a damp at mosphere, they rode out on the Raleigh highway in a top-less phaeton and got stuck in the mud. An hour later, in the pour ing rain the highway patrol sent a car to pull them out. Irv Niditch, a true gentleman from the North, was walking to the football game. He saw a fair damsel in distress. He quickly walked over and offered her his coat as a protection against the rain. The girl took his coat, and ran over to her house to get hers, while Irv stood out in the hard cold rain. The young lady re turned in about 15 minutes, and Irv was drenched to the bone. Edward, Hamilton Dutcher may make the track team as a t runner, but he will need more practice at hurdling. He started after the bus in Durham the other night. He had just about caught up with it when he came to a chain across his path, which tripped him.. He received cuts and bruises on his arms and legs. The accident may keep him off the Duke campus at late hours.
