Wonder if he uses the touche system. Curriculum of the Law School is sadly deficient. There ought to be a phys. ed. course in ambulance chasing. Reason why none of the Mid-Winter dance leaders are Chapel Hill co-eds is that few of them are good at figures.

It reads: THE WATERS OF TRUTH FLOW FREELY DRINK WHEN AND WHERE YOU MAY That is an appropriate statement for Chapel iQnal bnUard rt in an ex. 1113 a noie hibition in the memorial play- wormy tnoute io a Keemy-aamirea woman. But with the years the memorial has received less and less attention. The fountain has ceased to flow. After the last rain it stood for days with scummy, black liquid. It is interesting to pause before the words on the monument and to reflect where the waters of truth are flowing freely now. A Fountain of Truth a pond of muck: but there is more than one example of the contrast between the ideal and the actual, between what people say and believe and what they actually do and see. room at 7:30 Friday evening. Saturday the memorial will be turned into a sports arena as the University fencers square off against the VPI foils squad in the main lounge.

His job was to collect the money 1U1 lilC iUiAi. Robert said that being the reverend's son was pretty hard at times. "Folks think that I got to be better than other boys. Sometimes I can't hardly have any fun at all. But my father says 'believe in the Bible.' I al ways do what the Bible says." Speaking of his Sunday school, Robert confided that "We have different classes, and we learn different things. But if we get some more money, we'll have even better things." The dark missionary from Carrboro said that he hoped to be a preacher when he grew up. But the folks back home don't talk his future much. For he is only the "knee-baby"; that is, next to the youngest. Knee-babies are rather com mon in the not too distant realm of Carrboro. But it's the un usual one who, like Robert, ven tures forth to gather money for his fellows. Quiet and humble he waits for passers-by who might feel friendship for the Church of God. He will explain all about the Sunday school to anyone who is interested after he has been given 10 cents to compen sate for his precious time. Although the present state wide epidemic of measles has not reached Orange county, doc tors of the District Health de partment expect the number of cases of the disease to increase within a short while. Only a few isolated cases have occurred in the counties of the district, but Dr. William P. Richardson, health officer, stat ed that with an increasing num ber of cases in nearby counties, everyone should be careful about subjecting themselves to possible exposure and should be on the alert for possible symp toms of the disease. Measles comes in epidemics, once every three or four years, and the last outbreak in this section was in 1934, so there is reason to expect a number of cases this year. An interesting feature in the progra ting a. student through the 'Vocational guidance mill" is a 'Vocational Interest Test" given appli cants for the nominal charge of SI. "Do you like to take an alarm clock apart and put it together again?; Do you like bridge and boxing?; Had you rather be Inventor Thoinas A. Edison or Financial Wizard J. P. Morgan?"' Tnese are among the hundreds of questions appearing on the test. By a complex method, taking around six hours of computation, the answers are tallied with those of business men in various fields. Your score may come out in favor of salesman, banker, mathematician, engineer, or artist, etc Psychologist Welch does not believe the tests are completely accurate, but combined with the conferences are a fair index. Crystal gazers and palm readers find little place in a modern University, but the dabbling of psychologists in vocational guidance is a colorful method of scientific fortune telling. POINT OF VIEW By Ramsay Potts Puppets To Act Here Tomorrow (Continued from first page) range of characters and plays which are offered. On a mo ment's notice a group of loose limbed performers will charm an audience with fantasy and then challenge it with modern sophistications. Until only recently, marion ettes have been regarded as an amusing novelty. But the era of i Punch and Judy shows have given way to the finished pro ductions of companies like that of Sue Hastings. That such presentations have a definite place in the entertainment field is proven by the reception that the Sue Hastings Marionettes have received evervwhere. H. G. Wells professes to be appalled at the in difference of citizens to contemporary develop ments in the, world about them. In his short horror story, "The Croquet Player," he deplores the apathy and unconcern of the peoile who should be not only interested, but enthusiastic, about the implications of current events. Most characteristic of the indifferent groups at Carolina is the fraternity. This is true despite the opportunities for contribution open to such a close-knit body. The ideals of such organization point to fellowship, learning and service. The fact of the matter is that fraternities offer an oppor tunity for poker games, useless bull sessions, and indolent use of leisure time. The latter opportun ity looms too attractive in the eyes of the stu dent. He becomes one of Mr. Wells' "croquet players." 3IUSIC FOR SATISFACTION Last night the University Svnrohonv. members get vast satisfaction out of their own m0QS band of Negro pickanin- work, shared their pleasure with the campus.

POP QUIZ By Bob Perkins The excuse for being rests in the hands of the individual fraternity. Some of the phony glamor of fraternity life should be sloughed off and at tractions of lasting value substituted in their place. Otherwise the lodges here may find them selves suffering the fate of any useless organism. The obligation of any group to itself at least de mands a fair self -appraisal. featured "Music Under the Chande liers" will be offered Thursday.

Second, combine the same nine numbers (in any fashion) to give a result of 100. In solving yesterdays quiz the usual tendency is to say, if 100 chick ens eat 100 bashels in 100 days, one chicken -will eat one bushel in one day. However, the correct reasoning is if any number of chickens eat 100 bushels in 100 days, the same number of chickens "will eat one bushel in one day. From this we can figure that 10 chickens will eat one bushel in 10 days. Patronize our advertisers. Letters To The Editor Over 250 Words Subject to Cutting AN OPEN AND SHUT LETTER Dear Dekes, S. A.
