Under such a "panel" scheme, which need not be applied only to classrooms but also to the regu lar meetings of certain of the so-named discus sion groups, the students would be forced to grab the problem by both horns and work out their own individual, meaningful answers. They couldn't very well stop with memorizing the old single teacher's dogmas on the subject. You digest thoughts, just as you do food, for yourself. Nobody ever ate a meal for us, so far. AED BRINGS DR. REYNOLDS ON "SYPHILIS" State Health Officer Dr. Carl V. Reynolds will speak tonight m Hill Music hall on the state's program' for combatting syphilis in North Caro lina. :' ' . Funds for the battle against the most subtle of all diseases were left by the late Zachary Smith Reynolds, heir of the Reynolds tobacco for tune. They total $7,000,000.00. Activities already completed in the campaign, as well as future plans, will be discussed tonight. Efforts to uncover the blanket of false modesty that hides one of the greatest modern scourges certainly wins the support of the student body of a liberal University. . useless enterprises, the people claimed. After all they didn't need a new Post Office so badly anyway. The people martyred them selves to a noble cause, or maybe they were wondering where they would be able to deposit their letters between the time the old slot was removed until the building was completed around the new one. We are welcoming the new Post Office, do not feel ourselves traitors to the other towns in the state that are not getting one. First, there was a definite need, and secondly we can jus tify our stand on the old argu ment that, in its own small way, the income for those who are playing a part in constructing the building is just one more step fo greater industrial activity. archie again the score in europe yesterday was: uneasy wondering 'in london and Vienna, joy in berlin and rome, dismay in paris, and in every capital city wild speculation on the future. yesterday was george washington8s birthday, too. back in his eighteenth century era, conditions were ruffled and people full of panicky conjec tures, napoleon was coming forth in europe, and Washington urged his land to forever avoid per manent alliances. george, it8s a safe bet, wouldn8t- have to do more-than blink a few times before he could fit fairly weir into today8s scheme, he could just mentally multiply the bad situations of his day and arrive, not too startled, at the present scene with a good deal of grace. george would be pretty conservative about it all. he probably would clutch at the monroe doc trine, at america8s sacred neutrality, and sit tight, saying even less about herr hitler8s little ultimatum than even roosevelt 11. yesterday george was gone, but his memory gave banks, wall street, and the schools and busi nesses a chance to declare a holiday, 'pause, and reconnoitre the influence of so great a man, by legend at' least, should be a healthy atmosphere for vpeople confused by edens, chamberlains, and mussolinis. at any rate, washington8s reputa tion should make the world respect truth, i do. George Pershing On Campus Today (Continued from Page One) "Hearts of Spain," at 4 o'clock today in Graham Memorial lounge. Sponsor The program is sponsored jointly by the University League for International Cooperation and Graham Memorial. Seminars already arranged for the visiting leader, who is field secretary for the medical bureau of the North American Committee to Aid Spanish De mocracy, include N. B. Adams' class and others in the romance ariguage department at 9:30, the public speaking class of Wil- iam A. Olsen at 11, and the cre ative writing class of Phillips Russell at 12. Thursday he will appear be- V ' m m lore tne comDinea classes oi E. J. Woodhouse and E. E. Erickson at 11 o'clock. Captain Rickenbacker Speaks On Campus (Continued from first paae) ity of modern life has also made the road to success just as diffi cult as it ever was." War As a result of such rapid strides in airplane development, a war between major nations would present scenes of inde scribable horror and destruction and "it might wipe out civiliza tion," he said. Regular transatlantic airplane service will be inaugurated in another year with success, he said, describing a large plane of 2,000 horsepower under con struction that will carry 30 pas sengers, a crew of eight mem bers, and considerable baggage and mail. The cost, he said, will be about the same as for present ocean liners. Costs He predicted that costs of travel by airliners in this coun try will be reduced about 25 per cent during the next five years. Captain Rickenbacker left New York yesterday morning at 10:15 and landed at the Raleigh airport at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Assembly Opposes Election Measure (Continued from first page) Following a short discussion the bill was voted upon, with the final tabulations being 26 to 1 against it. The second bill was, Resolved, "That the Phi assembly approve tne action ot congress in in creasing the strength of the army and navy." Pro And Con Tom Long, speaking in favor of the bill, gave several figures to back his contentions. Miss Edith Gutterman, who spoke against the bill, said, "The ap propriations were increased be fore the last war at the expense of many other more immediate needs." Dick Oulahan brought out several additional and more lengthy points in the concluding speech of the evening. The assembly decided not to have a meeting next Tuesday night because of the approach ing examinations. Last night discussion in the weekly meetkz the Phi Assembly centered around the "Resolved that the Phi Assembly should petitiT the Student council to bar political parties fro participating in campus elections." 1:1 Defenders of the bill probably remember the fifteen members of the steering coaaittie of last year's University party were branded "15 black grains of sand," tyrants back of th throne, and curses to the welfare of the Univer sity. If proponents of the bill succeeded in abolish ing campus parties, the alternative machinery would be open nominations in a general assembV of the student body. The list of candidates iL ing unlimited, could easily include so many noc- mees that we would have a less democratic sr tern than the present one. There is little reason to believe that member- of party steering committees do not feel as sincere an obligation to the campus as they expect the candidates they support to feel. Instead of being blotches on the face of the cam. pus, parties may be the medium by which candi dates are brought on the platform for campus judgment, or they may be the machinery for sys- tematizmg elections. Whenever one failed to meet its obligation public support would not let it survive long enough for it to be a source of worry. ALL GONE BUT THE HOLE The new Post Office, gradually rising from a pile of torn up cement on Franklin street, calls to mind the tale of the little mid-western town that refused the government's offer to replace their old building with a new one. The taxpayers' money was being misspent on y0u may have gotten the rest. Student-Faculty Election Set (Continued from first page) on the basis of attractiveness and popularity on the campus. First and second choices for queen will be made by the stu dents in the primary. The 10 girls receiving the highest num ber of votes will compete in the final election, and the winner will have as her attendants her two closest rivals in the election. Di-Phi Hold Joint Session POINT OF VIEW By Ramsay Potts POP QUIZ By Bob Perkins Suppose a hare is 50 jumps ahead of a hound, and the hare jumps faster than the hound, making six jumps to the hound's five. But nine of the hare's jumps carry him only as far as seven of the hound's carry the hound. Can you figure how many iumDs the hare will make be fore the hound catches him? Answer to yesterday's quiz : TAKE TIME WHEN TIME IS, FOR TIME WILL AWAY. The information given concerning the proverb should lead to the assumption that the word three times repeated is TIME. This gives you T for A, I for E, M for F, and E for D. After substitution you have for the third word four letters with E as the third. Guess awhile and you will see that WHEN must be the word for the sense of the sen tence. Substitute again, ponder, and Amateur Show At 8 O'clock Tonight (Continued from first page) a dagger between his teeth was discovered leering through Ivey's window. Entertainment from baseball games to piano duets are includ ed on the program. Prizes total ing $10 will be divided .among three winners. Virtual Vacuum Henry Hudson and J. Frank- ling Jones will convert the lounge into a sports arena as they present a baseball per formance. The lounge will prob ably be converted into a virtual vacuum when J. Mac Smith and Charlie Gilmore, editor and managing editor respectively of the Daily Tar Heel, present an original piano arrangement.' Phil Link will offer an imita tion skit, Norville Reid Price will give two piano selections, Shroy Larige, Dorothy Dashiell, and Phyllis Bradshaw will offer songs and dances, Lois' Latham, a previous winner in an ama teur show, will present a mono logue and Lewis and Charles Harriss will play a piano duet. (Continued from first page) was never notified of the deci sion and proceeded to make ar rangements for a Phi ball. Verbal Agreement Two days before the proposed affair Kerley approached Mar tin and verbally agreed at that time to have his organization pay the Phi $20 for a Di-Phi dance. Immediately following Mar tin's remarks an argument en sued in which the Di members hotly contested the right of their president to appropriate the sum of .money after the sena tors had been informed that they would have no part in the dance. Contention Kerley contended that, as there had been Di-Phi dances in the past, he believed himself acting according to the wishes of the majority of the senators. Martin had already apologized to the Di for the hap-hazard manner in which arrangements had been made, and the Di vot ed to send apologies of a simi lar nature to the Phi with $20 to cover its part of the dance expenses. Thus, after an hour's wrangl ing, Di-Phi relationships were again restored to a placid and peaceful state. One acquaintance put it this way. "I don't en joy my work particularly. So if you ever feel the urge to go to South America or China or any where just send me a telegram. I'm ready to start out at a moment's notice. . Of course if Ma ine and I get married things will be different. ITI have something to work for then." Another recent graduate of the University has written back complaining of the grinding nature of his work. "There can't be any sleeping through," he said, "it's the same thing every day except Sunday." The attitude of dissatisfaction with life is part of the present student generation's philosophy. There is little bitterness, there is much despair. The problems of earning a living press too closely on the mind to permit of attention to many other things. The college boys and girls don't like it. They have had a glimpse of something excit ing. They have read of great things, and there is an automatic veering away from the humdrum orthodoxy of getting a job and settling down Perhaps this education then is bad for so many people? Surely it should point toward something. It should give some clue to why we are working and playing. Mrs. Grace Overton, speaking hkre during the Religion-In-Life-Conference observed the sane thing. "Many students are finding College an un satisfying experience. So many of yiu young peo ple are cynical and brutally frank abfcut your con tempt of life. There must be something we can do to supply an obvious need which religion would fill if you would let it."

Broughton Smithey Ernest Harshaw Yount, Jr. Letters To The Editor 3 Over 250 Words Subject to Qtting MUSIC LOVER'S LAMENT To the Editor Dear Sir, There is a small group of peopleiiterested in the more valuable kinds of music lo listen re gularly to the operas broadcast onfaturday af ternoons in Hill Auditorium. Howejr, Saturday a week ago this group was deprh of hearing the broadcast because Will Osborfs orchestra gave a concert. " I I would estimate that 400 peoplejard the jazz concert which is easily 40 times tfnumber who would have heard the opera. HoWer, there are many auditoriums or places wrfe the concert could have been given instead of Jl. And I ft1 that it is far better and more imftant for those few students to be able to heaie opera than those mobs who can hear jazziy hour of the day to have the privilege of lying the few, their interest. J Above all, there should be way of allowing anything to stifle the cultui interests in tte University because there is te enough interest as it is. , S.S.
