WATCH THE FORDS GO BY
Accompanying Mr. Landon on
his tour through Michigan yes
terday was a tall thin man who
twists his fingers nervously
when he talks. This tall fellow
speaks jerkily frequently form
speaks jerkily frequently form
ing his words in the side of his
mouth.
.. His name is Henry Ford. He
has made more automobiles than
any man in the world and more
money than anyone in the Unit
ed States.
Henry Ford says very, very
seldom devotes time to politics.
He claims that he is a "business
man not a politician."
But Mr. Ford has had enough
of-the New Deal. Those confis
catory taxes on big incomes
touched him in a tender spot
one might almost call it his
Achilles heel.
So Mr. Ford calls for Michi
gan to vote for Landon. Some
thing seems to say, however,
that if he expects results he
must speak in a very loud voice.
Between Seasons
LAST NIGHT rushing ended. Postponed two
weeks from the first day of classes, the rush
ing period this fall was the first experiment tried
here with deferring the annual fraternity fishing
season.
A postponed rushing season gives new men a
chance to become adjusted to their new environ
ment at college and secure a sound foundation in
their studies before being caught up in the whirl
of fraternity dates. A longer period of calm be
fore the fraternity-fishers throw out their hooks
also gives the prospective pledge a little time to
see the Greeks as they are, before the lodges po
lish up their rushing glitter. Likewise, the frater
nities get an opportunity to look over the pros
pectives more thoroughly ; so that the prize of
fraternity membership becomes more than ever
before an award for high quality campus perfor
mance. Were rushing season to be deferred until later
in the fall quarter, the advantages obtained all
around this year would be augmented.
Duke Tickets
WEDNESDAY NIGHT the American Student
' union's local branch on the campus decided
to appoint a committee...to work with the Dialectic
senate on the question of obtaining a joint plan
with Duke for students of either institution to at
tend home games at the other for a nominal fee
when their school is playing a game away from
home.
It is understood that Dean Hobbs, chairman
of the athletic council here, will be approached,
and also authorities at Duke. It would seem at
first glance that there are no objections to this
plan, a program which will benefit th students
at both schools.
It will be by action through such student groups
as these two that this project will be put over.

RULES WERE announced recently for the 1937
library awards contest. Thirty dollars will be
' given in prizes to those students with college li-
braries showing the most enthusiasm for book
collecting and the pursuance of a definite interest.
The fellow who took the $25 prize last spring
was one of the campus biggest socialites, a chem
istry and psychology major, a jazz sax artist, and
a former track man! He had, collected well over
100 hooks at Carolina which covered a wide range
of fiction and non-fiction, well correlated by a
dominant interest in witchcraft, sorcery, and psy
chology. The anonymous donor of the prize mon
ey is attempting to attract student attention to
library building as one of the most personally ben
eficial hobbies open to everybody.
The library contest is planned to stimulate gen
eral interest in one phase of our educational pro
cess which interest, though often neglected, is
just what most of us need to polish off our test
tube techniques and economic theories. J. M. S

Slapping On The Fraternity Button
(Colgate Maroon)
As the annual fraternity rush
ing ( season quickly nears its
close, the present appears to be
a pertinent time to offer one or
two words of advice to those
members of the Class of 1940
. who are seriously contemplating
joining a fraternity. ...
(1) Do not. allow yourselves
to be influenced too greatly by
the fact that a certain Colgate
chapter is a member of a great
national .fraternity. When you
select a fraternity you are ac-
, cepting an invitation to associate
with a group of men of a certain
personality caste for the next
four years. It matters little
whether the fraternity you join
has a great chapter in some , col
lege out on the Pacific coast or
in some i other section of the
country. You are to become a
member of a chapter at Colgate
and you should be vitally con-
. cerned almost solely ' with the
type of men in that chapter. You
are choosing your future envi
ronment. (2) Insist upon being thor
oughly acquainted with those
men of the sophomore class who
are members of the fraternity
in which you are interested, as
well as with the men of your

Letters Over 250 Words Subject to Cutting by Editor
PAST SKELETONS
To the Editor,
The Daily Tar Heel:
All of us make mistakes, and
if we did not make them, nat
urally our lives would prove
very boring. In order that the
same mistake will not be made
again, I maintain that only
good should be written of peo
ple in the Daily Tar Heel.
There are numerous ideas con
ing an abundance of undeveloped
material on the campus which
could be written up in our daily
without resorting to the type of
material printed in the article
published yeerday entitled
"Memories of Rameses Kidnap
ping Called Up by Letter from
Carr."
There was a story for publi
cation in the letter to Pete Ivey
from Claiborne Carr, one
of news and interest, but the
part it played was a minor one
in the article. Carr is attempt
ing to borrow the Fordham ram
to use at our N. Y, U. game to
morrow; this part shows alum
ni interest. A wise editor would
not have recalled the regretta
ble incident three years ago
when the Carolina student body,
damaged the religious edifice of
Duke university, destroying the
Durham morning newspapers,
etc., because this Claiborne
Carr intentionally planned and
executed a plot against the
neighboring university making
the Carolina students believe
that the dear Rameses had been
stolen by Duke students. The
error of the Carolina students
or Duke students in their re
taliation to this ram escapade
does not release either of them
from their wrongful and
thoughtless acts. But to display
the boy who was responsible for
this outrage or frame on the
front page of our daily paper
certainly tends to make me feel
that the policy of the paper is
definitely on the downward
trend. Certainly it is best, espe

Communism, Huetf s too
Remains of the first week tur
,moil over the rooming situation
produced the story of two par
ticular Carolina gentlemen, un
welcome in filled dorms and
crowded apartments, who finally
located a place to stay: a nice
little room with a real feather

own class who are likely to be
pledged with you and hence be
come members of your own dele
gation in that fraternity. They
are the men with whom you will
live the longest.
(3) Be sure you are in posses
sion of all the facts in relation
to the finances needed to join a
certain chapter. After you have
become well acquainted with the
costs of membership in each
of the fraternities, in which
you are interested, compare the
figures, along with other impor
tant considerations.
(4) Do not give your word of
acceptance to any fraternity
until you have, to your own com
plete satisfaction, considered all
the facts involved. Regard each
fraternity critically from every
possible point of vantage.
(5) Do not allow yourself to
be taken in by the impressive
ness of the chapter house or its
furnishings. Such things are
practically non-important in the
selection of a fraternity.
(6) Take advantage of every
bit of time offered you to make
your choice. The time is offered
you; why not use it?
(7) Do not "go" a certain
house because your roommate is
"going that way," or because an
old friend from high school is
"going that way." You will
make scores of friends in a rela
tively short time, so little will
be lost if you choose to join a
different fraternity. Your room
mate might fit in with a certain
group of fraternity men more
easily than you would. Make
your own decisions.
These few words of advice are
offered for whatever they '
might be worth. At any rate,
some consideration for them will
do little harm. Remember:

Arc We Becoming
Educated?
(Robert M. Hutchins)
It. must be remembered that
the purpose of education is not
to fill the minds of students with
facts ; it is not to reform them,
or amuse them, or make them
expert technicians in any field.
It is to teach them to think, if
that is possible, and to think al
ways for themselves.
Took his time
In line with the recent cur
riculum changes providing for
three-hours-a-week classes, in
stead of the old five, came A.T.O.
Sophomore Ben Dixon's ultra

After an hour of "Anthony
Adverse" Dixon was so tired he
reported to E. Carrington for a
rain check said he'd go home,
eat, and come back for the rest
of the show !

the Carolina patrons to get the
most good out of his shows. ...

Stampede, you copy cat
In the fall of 1905 there was
enacted here at the Hill one
more little drama with a moral
to prove all mankind's follow-c-ity.
A couple of friends from the
heart forever were almost torn
asunder when the best laid plans
of one of the pals to change the
other's red hair to black gang
very much awry. The experi
menter was a chemistry student
who claimed he knew "just the
thing" to make his pal a real
romeo. On application of the
magic potion, however, the sub
ject's hair fast found a vile
green. . . . It was hideous. . . .
Friendship ties were strain
ed.... "Aw, Jim," cried the young
chemist, "this is terrible. But to
show, you my heart's right I'll
go right now to the barber and
get him to shave us both per
fectly bald! It'll be bad, I know,
fellow, but it's the best we can
do "
The next day the campus
greeted two shamed billiard ball
haircuts. In four days 150 stu
dents had caught the fever and
had their own heads shaved
smooth . . . nobody knew why I
