Arey, Jr. Sports: Shelley Rolfe ANOTHER ONE YOU CAN TAKE FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH "You boys won't have the chance I had when I graduated." A keen member of, the faculty was speaking to a couple of seniors several days ago. "Even though I had a wife and children before I had really finished school," This comment hit us sharply for the two seniors had just been in the 'midst of pointing out how heavy an educational program the world was paying for. Schools here, schools there . . . Thou sands of more college students than ever before . . . And this older man tells us we don't have the future he had when he was sixteen ! We didn't like to admit it, but in the face of a college-bred depression the world over, it was Q deny his generalization. ' Just why sliduld trig publie, which in recent times has soid its soul to the schools, find itself in such a grim state of affairs; and likewise, why should the twenty year olds be coming up in June to discover that what they've been attending is nothing but a sophisticated "CCC" with the ex clusive disadvantage of the delusion? Just why, i such be the story, have the schools betrayed the public and the student as well? Fundamentally because of this: John Tar Heel, as an earlier European put all his eggs in the one basket of the Church, resigned his indi vidual intelligence to . external authority alto gether, and enjoyed the Dark Ages . . . And John Tar Heel of recent times, having reclaimed him self from the former orthodoxy, turned to the schools, without knowing what it is to really pro duce "educated" editions of mankind, and gave himself over to a new and all-promising Authority. So that blind, mass "schooling," put forward as a panacea like the earlier mass "churching," has become a similar matter of external authority, with the accompanying "shutting down" of the Individual Intelligence. Instead of swearing blindly by any odd and misunderstood passage of the Good Book or word of the Priest, the thing to do today is swear by the holy text or prof. The Individual Intelligence, operating for itself, for some reason isn't produced in the expected quantities, and it is a refreshing thing to have an" Abe Lincoln or Carter Glass, perhaps, appear, without benefit of the New Clergy. " When you examine a particular campus like our own, you'll find that the general widespread recognition is given first to extracurricula activi ties (athletics, politics, art groups, and publica tions) and, if any is given to the product of the classroom, it is commonly given to the foremost example of the swear-by-the-book worm, the Phi Beta Kapper. Nowhere in the campus considera tion is there a genuine problem on intelligence, which we all came here to develop in ourselves. Indeed, the man who takes it agoglessly enough to discover himself is duly convicted in the court of campus opinion and properly attainted. Out of this atmosphere there do come intelli gences, thank goodness, but we're inclined to be lieve that their coming is an occurence for which the University, as the classroom or the campus Work-shop, cannot truthfully say: "We planned it this way." Thank goodness for this too; for if the schools were purposely "planning it this way" something ought to be done about it, right away; just as if God were responsible for all the Devil in the world he would be a pretty sorry God. But some thing is being done in educational circles to help the schools discover the "way" to turn out men intelligent enough to solve the problems they pro duce if rumblings from the recent Atlantic City YWCA WILL ELECT NEWOMCERSAT RIEEnNGfllONDAY Nominating: Committee Win Post Names Of Candidates , Nominees for next year's YWCA offices will be posted this morning in Spencer hall and in the YWCA.

Prominent Sons Both sons were prominent while at the University.

Mrs. Gray was Miss Nathalie Lyons of Asheville before she married. She attended the din ner last night. Commerce Pledges To Be Initiated Mann Smith has been alive 16 years. But two weeks from Saturday, the State of North Carolina will strap this Negro boy in a little glass-windowed chamber and suffocate him with poison gas until he is dead. The State Supreme Court has spok en : No error. When, for the criminal assault of a 13 year old white girl, a Mc Dowell county jury sentenced him to die Mann .was only 15. He is about as old as Freddie Bartholomew, the screen's little Lord Fauntleroy. He is at the age when most boys are in the middle of high school, when most boys play football and basket ball and tennis. But Mann didn't have the chances most boys have. He didn't play all these games. He didn't get a high school educa tion. He did commit, the jury found, a crime demanding the death penalty. The law is clear and there was no error. . Can it be that this 16 year old boy is such a confirmed and har dened criminal that the State can only guarantee the safety of its inhabitants by killing him ? Six- Heeii years is a short time for even a Negro to become irre trievably anti-social. And is it not conceivable that nearly any 16 year old boy can with the op portunities thus far denied and with proper guidance, yet live to become a valuable citizen? Cer tain it is, that the crime for which Mann was convicted is al most inevitably committed by an ignorant person. A pardon from Governor Hoey will save Mann. But a pardon will not save the hundreds of other boys, white and black, who next year will commit more nu merous, if less heinous, crimes. ! And in nearly every such crime ! Jl 1 'H 1 ' -i J xne criminal win oe ignorant, or not able to find decent work, or both. It is for these crimes still un committed, stili to some extent preventable, that Governor Hoey and the State are responsible. The remedy is not 10 cubic yards of poison gas, nor even the chain gang. The remedy is more schools and more jobs. And un less these are provided, the State must be responsible and held guilty of Mann's crime and many more. Of this judgment a later generation will find : "no error." (Continued from first page) commerce, Haddaway said.

SMITH TO APPEAR HERE IHTNESDAY Speaker Is Member Of Labor Relations Board Edwin Seymour Smith, who is scheduled to appear in Me morial hall at 8:30 Wednesday night as the Carolina Political union's first spring quarter speaker, is generally conceded to be the most liberal member of the National Labor Relations board. The 45 year old native of Brookline, Mass., who is the only non-lawyer member of the board is not related to D. W. Smith, one of the two other organiza tion members. Life Following his graduation from Harvard, Smith was with the Dennison Manufacturing com pany for one year. From 1920 until 1923 he was a member of the Russell Sage foundation, and from 1931 until 1934 he was commander of the Labor and In dustries in the State of Massa chusetts. President Roosevelt appointed Smith to his present position on the Labor Relations board in 1934. Smith is a member of the ad visory council of the American Association for Labor Legisla tion. Dresser The ruddy faced democratic is a snappy dresser and reports have it that he is given to wear ing loud necties and the like. Smith has a very extensive la bor background and has written a book entitled "Reducing Sea sonal Employment."

The "way" to the Indi vidual Intelligence ought to be found pretty soon, or else the schools will be "exposed" to the public it is betraying like the Church was. ...

A schedule of hours for men's, women's, and mixed bathing groups hasn't been set. Most likeiv there will be times for all three, although prob lems like that and the matter of health examina tions are still unsettled by officials who are glad enough just to have their great new athletic plant to look at. THE GENERAL SAYS "NO" Alexis Heard, CPUer, tosses the latest bomb shell. George O. Pershing, he reports on the good word of the local Catholic Father Morrissey, is somewhat of a fourflusher. In fact, as a recent speaker here, he rather duped the campus. Pershing was in phapel Hill on February 23 and 24, hailed as a nephew of the great war gen eral and as leader in the North American Com mittee to Aid Spanish Democracy. He impressed numerous Graham Memorial and classroom audi encesand collected a good amount for his cause at silver offerings. Two days later "The Catholic Standard and Times" of Washington undertook a general de bunking of George Pershing. From General John J. Pershing's office it learned that the young pre tender is not even known to the aged hero except through newspaper accounts, and if he is at all related it is so remotely that "it would take a genealogist to trace it." One George O. Pershing also spent two and a half years in Alcatraz Prison, the Catholic paper reports. That was from 1925-1927 when the bleak island was a military disciplinary barracks. There is a story that not long ago a Chatta nooga reporter approached young Pershing and bluntly referred to the Alcatraz imprisonment. Ihe champion of Spanish Democracy gasped, then nodded yes. "What were you there for?" shot the reporter. "No, no," wagged G. P., that's some thing they don't talk about." Of course George Pershing has been panning Catholicism, 'and "The Standard and Times' wouldn't necessarily seek out his good qualities. The charges they make and affirm, however, make interesting conjecture as to thine- that are done in the name of Democracy. Person To Person .
