Douglass MORE THAN A "MAY" POLE - Syracuse University's "Daily Orange" - writes for full information regarding Carolina's course in marriage, the credit it gives, contents of the course, arid what not. A campaign is under way there to obtain for students instruction in that vital social science. Duke University's "Chronicle" writes for de tails about eating conditions, costs, and accommo dations at Carolina. There a campaign is under way to improve Blue Devil menus and food prices. Brown University's "Daily Herald" writes urg ing a survey on the Carolina campus to test stu dent opinion on international cooperation, student willingness to fight defensive and offensive wars, and general attitudes toward war and peace. With spring has budded big student ambitions. It's mostly the work of seniors, out to wind up monumental projects in their last few months of school life. And too, spring is 'filled with lazy days when there's nothing better than planning self -betterments and picking over the major is sues of education and life. Carolina is not without its own spring business. There are rumblings of a CPU-"Daily Tar Heel" poll fashioned after Brown's war-and-peace sur- vey. wnen students nave wearied oi dances and tired of studies, there will be the great spring pastime of reforming the world and settling ) the exigencies of the day. EDWINS. SMITH TO APPEAR HERE NEXT WEDNESDAY National Labor Board Member Will Be CPU Speaker Swing Sister THE PHI BETES TELL HOW ITS DONE The Phi Bete boys are going to have a chance to show their stuff, according to Editor Ray Lowery of the new Freshman Handbook. Says Brother Lowery, the campus scholars will be asked to give their personal suggestions for study, their individual codes for their classroom suc cesses. Points out Lowery, few if any of the men en tering the University know what it is to study effectively. And consequently many of them must drudge through or bust out when they meet their first course of really, "college" level (like Eco nomics 31, for example). . To remedyrthis in the past Orientation leaders , (and one former handbook) called on the psy chology department and the regular freshman advisers to coach the new men in the technique of successful study. Just how fruitful have been these lectures is largely a matter of conjecture. Poor study habits acquired in secondary schools, the fact that few teachers, if any, really know what the "educating act" is, arid the authoritarian nature of much of this type of advice all these factors have acted to prevent the complete success of the lectures, as each quarter's casualty list will show. - But the value of attempting to discover the study technique and to tip off the incoming fresh men each fall is not to be denied. That Handbook Editor Lowery has added to the above attempts the program of presenting the Phi Bete boys' advice is probably a stab in the right direction. The Phi Betes will be closer to the freshmen than the faculty; members giving much the same sort of dish, and the business' of making a few upper classmen themselves examine their own experi ences is not a bad thing. Just whether the average Phi Beta Kappa student is the fellow who gets the "most education" out of his college experience and is therefore the example we want the new nien to follow is another matter for conjecture.

AN By Allen Merrill GLES Next Wednesday night Hon. ; Edwin S. Smith, one of the three members of the National Labor Relations Board, will speak in Memorial hall on a Carolina Po litical union program, to official ly begin that organization's spring quarter activities. Smith's will be the second in a series of three speeches deal ing with the subject of the cur rent labor situation. Last Jan uary 31 Tom Mercer Girdler, Republic Steel head and leader of the faction opposing the estab lishment of labor unions, gave the first in the series of speeches on this subject. Phillip Murray April 14 Phillip Murray, chairman of the Steel Worker's Organizing Committee, and sec ond in command of the CIO un der John L. Lewis, will conclude the series with a speech in Me morial hall. As union chairman Alex Heard explained recently, the CPU is presenting these three ment of Education. speakers m order to give the campus an opportunity to. hear from representatives of both ex treme factions as well as the neutral organization in this la bor situation. McNinch April 20 Hon. Frank R. Mc Ninch, chairman of the Federal Communications Committee, will appear in Chapel Hill as the union's third spring quarter speaker. McNinch was pre viously scheduled to speak here last quarter. April 27 the union will pre sent Senator James P. Pope of Idaho who will speak in con nection with the program of the campus anti-war demonstration committee. y . i Anniversary 1 Sometime in May the union's second anniversary celebration will be held. Heard said yester day that he is not able to make a definite announcement in this regard as yet. The CPU is attempting to ar range a suitable date for a cam pus address by David E. Lilien thai, Director of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Lilienthal has accepted an invitation to speak here sometime during the quar ter, but current TVA difficulties may prevent him from appear ing in Chapel Hill this spring. Seniors To Hold Party-Dance (Continued from first page) have contributed to the mental well-fair of the senior class. The dance will last from .9 to 12 o'clock. Admission will be by name at the door. Without spe cial invitation only seniors and their dates will be admitted one of each couple must be a senior. Freddy Johnson Freddy Johnson and his or chestra will iurnish the music for dancing and the floor show.

A large University like our own can boast superior classroom equipment, a wealth of pro fessorial resources, a voluminous library, and one of the finest gymnasiums in the country, but st& a number of high school seniors next fall win choose a "smaller college" to ply their academic careers. ' Why? Two main reasons, declared a high school senior during the holidays: A large University has the disadvantage of (1) a cumbersome stu dent body large in numbers but lacking a spirit of unity and (2) a faculty that cloisters itself h academic dignity, is removed from the student body and knows the individual student only offi cially. If these are truly popular objections to a large University, high school seniors can turn their eyes towards Chapel Hill the next few days and note that neither our faculty nor student body is idly accepting these objections as final. The seior class party-dance, the first of its kind, takes place Saturday. Class President Joe Pat terson holds, that the primary purpose of the gala occasion is to bring senior brothers and sisters together before graduation. The Freshman dance will follow close on the heels of tonight's sopho more hop. The fourth annual Student-Faculty day April 5th is being sponsored with an alleged new vigor this year, claims Committee Chairman Randv Berg. If the traditional formality that weakens the occasion can be made to vanish this year, if the meaning of the get-together is not forgotten at sunset, the breach between the "cloistered" faculty and the "removed" student body may narrow.

If a man can dig a hole 4 fee long, 4 feet deep, and 4 feet wide in one day, how many days would it take him to dig a hole 8 feet, by 8 feet, by 8 feet? A solution to the above was re quested of Carl Goerch, editor of State magazine recently. Answer to yesterday's quiz : 6 8, 18 and 24 when added give a total of 56, and squared total 1,000. BIRTHDAYS TODAY (Please call by the ticket office of the Carolina theater for a com plimentary pass.) Charles William Beaven Walter Hill Campbell Daniel Gaston MacMillan Emory Montgomery Osgood Douglas Gordon Roehrs James Harris Schell Mr. Felix Grisette went to bat for the college educational process Wednesday night. Three pre vious speakers had declared the disvalues of a college education, and stated that in most cases high school training was sufficient to give young citizens an economic background. Special empha sis was placed by these speakers on the slothful habits and "too-good-to-work" attitude of the typical college graduate. Without granting these conclusions Mr. Grisette in his speech strongly urged the point that a college education even helps to make a better ditch digger of a man. The meeting was held at the Carolina Inn under the auspices of the North Carolina Vocational Guidance association. This discussion, the fifth held by the association, was on the subject of insurance and real estate. SnpnVpra lid hppn chosen to represent the various fields within the insurance industry, ranging from industrial insur ance to the new group-hospitalization scheme. Before the Wednesday night meeting Mr. Welch, the head of the University Vocational Guidance Service, made a firm statement. He declared that "sixty per cent of the students who start to college should never come."- And this opinion was substantiated by the testimony of these able insurance and real estate executives. College to them was merelv the sDoilinfr-Grround for good employees. The opinions of these men on cuases for the failure of employees to advance, or the failure of prospective employees to obtain a job, coincided. "In nine cases out of ten," they said, "the failure is due to character and person ality traits, and not due to mental incapacity." Trying to get by with a minimum of work was cited as the chief cause for failure. College life was blamed for inducing that trait. Such experienced opinions have given educators an insight into their own fields. They know that a college education has cultural value. But they are also beginning to realize that college life is harmful to the sophisticated addition of the drug-store cowboy." The selection of college stu dents may be undemocratic in many ways but it represents the next step forward in general education.
