"It has occurred to me," wrote Petd,i "that '.building1 a bonfire in Titties gqtiare might be against the rules." The mayor thought so too, but just to make sure,, he sent the letter to .Squire Lewis J. Valentine, head of. the local con- stabulary, who- looked it up. "Sure enough, no one -is permit ted to build a bonfire in Times Square.- . . ' :.;,v The gentlemen of the press of the "f air-to-middlin' " town heard of this unusual request.

V Pierson, ; Dean of the Graduate School, finds the presidential campaign compara tively uninteresting. In his opinion, there is little of the spectacular or the dramatic about it. "The major issue of the cam paign," declared Dean Pierson, who conducts courses in Ameri can political theory, "is whether or not Landoh's program .would, on major problems, e essential ly different from that of the New Deal." In his opinion, both the Re publican party and their oppon ents are pointing to the Demo- cratic record though with a dif ferent purpose. The Democrats claim such notable achievements as the. banking legislation, while the ' Republicans find the same recordspotty with undue regi mentation, waste and rash experiments.

Hyatt of the class of '17: - - Old Pres," as he was known to everyone on tlie cnipus al ways took a personal interest in the lives of his students; and when misfortune befell any of them, he shared the trouble as if it. were his own. In. this parT ticular instance, Dk Battle had read in the Alumni Quarterly that Mr. Hyatt had been seri ously injured in an automobile accident, and he immediately wrote a letter of cheer and en couragement. Part of the letter reads: As you are in such plight, wounded and in bed, I will try to amuse you by telling you of my first love letter. I wrote it at a country inn where I was de tained, returning from court. The landlady gave me an adam antive candle in a flat-bottomed candle stick. I had to hold:.the paper near it. I had on my first high-crowned, silk hat. After I finished my letter, I .raised my head. The room was full of smoke. After, a - diligent search iSfound that I. had forgotten to take off my hajt i and, leaning over the candle, had burnt a hole in it nearly as big as my hand. The glory of that hat had de parted! You would have pitied me if you had . seen me sneaking down a back street in Raleigh to my room: hat on backwards in front. , , My love to your wife God bless you ! . "Old Pres" Kemp P. Battle.

C. A., iri expressing his opinion why he favors the re-election of Franklin D. Roosevelt to the Presidency of the United States. : MacFarland, announcing that "I'm strong for Roosevelt," said that he was in favor of the New Dealer because he has "done more than any other president for the betterment of social con ditions." - - ' The "Y' president stated that "Roosevelt - pulled the country from the brink of the abyss in 1933." The Republican party seems to stand for dictatorship by the big industrialists, MacFarland said. "If such men as Thomas Dix on are for Landon, then I'm for Roosevelt," he added. f t -, y i )
