Mr. McGalliard showed us the actual copies, and we could see from a brief examination why these in offices throughout the state. We knew also that the Institute held state-wide and district training schools and conferences for different officials from time to time. But we had no idea that it had conducted more than 50 such schools, ranging from local police to state and federal department heads and covering not only all major offices but also students and teachers of gov eminent, and that the attendance had totalled more than 3,000. Mr. McGal liard showed us outlines of the differ ent courses of instruction, the attend ance rolls for each, and pictures of many of the groups, and we were amazed at the scope and value of this in-service training program PUBLISHES MONTHLY MAGAZINE And we knew vaguely that the In stitute published a monthly magazine and conducted a clearing house of in formation and inquiry service on gov forts to do a better job. Second, to put citizens in touch with their gov ernment and keep them in touch with it. And third, to bridge the gap be tween government as it is practiced and as it is taught in the schools. "And" he added "the Institute is non-partisan and non-profit organiza tion, and it works always to inform rather than to reform. Any improve ments are, and must remain in the job of the officials, citizens, and schools, respectively. If we can just furnish them the facts, materials, and tools to help do the job, we will have our work cut out." In this brief statement from its di rector is found the uniqueness of North Carolina's Institute of Government.

Individual citizens, however, have continued to supplement the revenues from these sources, and to help finance our new laberatory, Thus far, every penny that has gone into the Institute's work and the lab oratory to house it has come from local and private sources without any supplement or contribution from state or federal funds." This brought us around to the In stitute's new home and governmental laboratory the first of its kind in the country, don't forget and it was easy to see that this was the fulfillment of ! a dream of several years with Mr. Coates and the apple of his eye, so to speak. DEMONSTRATION LABORATORY This handsome new laboratory, which will be formally opened here November 29- and 30 with Speaker Bankhead making the principal ad dress, has four floors and 20 rooms.

"Our staff for the past five years,1 he pointed out, "has been going to state departments, city halls and court houses throughout the state, collecting, classifying, and comparing the differ ent methods and practices in use. With these materials as a beginning, , we hope to build a central demonstration laboratory to which successive genera tions of officials, citizens, teachers, and students may come to see demon strated in one place the governmental methods and practices they would now have to go to hundreds of places to find. "Moreover, through its agency it is hoped that North Carolina officials and citizens may raise the standard of governmental performance by lifting the present practices to the level of the best." We were thoroughly sold by now not only on the soundness of Mr. Coates' original ideas but also the logical, ef ficient ways they are being worked out J and the far-reaching results they are! achieving. "Veni, vidi, vici," only this time we were conquered. But there was one more question in pur mind. "Tell us this," we said, "and we will leave you to your all-absorbing work. How did all this start? How did you happen to get into it in the begin ning?" "It's a long story," Mr. Coates re plied. "But it started when the Uni versity entrusted me with a law school classroom 15 years ago and later with its course on the law and practice of state, county and city government. Teaching these courses, as most teachers do, out of a casebook of su preme court decisions, I awoke one morning to find that only four-tenths of one per cent of our cases ever go to he supreme court. BRIDGES THEORY RXCTICE GAP "In other words, I was trying to teach 100 per cent of the knowledge out of four-tenths of one per cent of the materials. And I felt that I couldn't keep my self-respect without trying to do something to bridge the gap be- ween government as it is taught and practiced. Starting with that effort," Mr. Coates went on, "I set out to open up an avenue from my classroom to every ederal agency, state department, court house, and city hall in the state. Through these avenues I wanted to flow into my classroom all the new methods and techniques that are con- tantly being developed by officials and public offices throughout the state. And I wanted to flow back to these of- Playing The Game (Continued from page three) and is taking a lot of math courses on the side.

Tar Heels turned in perfect scores of 15 points against Davidson and Duke. The next week he was fifth for Carolina in the scoring and the eighth man to finish as the Tar Heels lost by one point to the Terrapins of Maryland. Carolina made up for that loss the next weekend by beating the Navy by another perfect score, Wimpy taking third. His greatest cross-country race was in the conference cham pionship meet a week ago, when he ran fifth behind Hardy of Carolina, Jimmy Kehoe of Maryland, Crockett of Carolina and Jim Vawter of Carolina.

How well Mr. Coates has succeeded to date is best shown perhaps by the fact that officials and citizens of the state have come to the support of the program and built a shelter over, its work. Mr. Coates declares that the "work has only just begun" and. still maintains he wouldn't swap his "teaching for any job on earth." two vard line and twice was repelled. The Wolf pack got down there on first down in the second period after a 15 yard Duke penalty and lost six yards in four attempts. In the fourth period, Fehley and Rooney took the ball to the two, but a Fehley-Rooney pass over the goal-line failed and on the next play Andy Pavlosky fumbled.

George McAfee began the drive tak ing a Rooney punt back 24 yards to the Duke 34. Duke was penalized five yards for off-sides, but it prompt ly made up the yardage with plenty to spare when George threw a pass to Davis on the Blue Devil 40 and Jap took it to the Wolfpack 40.

Faircloth hit an absolute peak for the fall with a brilliant defensive job against Duke. There seems to be no way to get him out of the starting line-up with field guns the next two years. Not with Jim Woodson and Chuck Slagle graduating. Wolf has always had outstanding ends. He arrived here irom iou lm 1936 to find Andy Bershak and Dick Buck on the scene. Wolf developed Chuck Kline, Paul Severin and Jim Mallory. This year has been no ex ception. Three brilliant soph ends dot the scene and for the life of him. Wolf can't figure out who's best. Pinky Elliott is light but aggressive; Stew Richardson is plenty fast and a good pass catcher; Fred Stallings is out standing on defense. With a few more pounds, Elliott would probably be best of the lot. Pinky can catch passes and plays an alert defensive game. Boh Stoinoff is a eood guard who hasn't much of an opportunity to per form because of the presence of se niors Woodson, Slagle and Hank Ab ernethy; and sophomore Faircloth. George Spransy and Gwynn Nowell have come along fast at tackle. Both are big tough boys who will give the Tar Heels plenty of service in the fu ture. Suntheimer came up from the fresh man team with the reputation of be ing one of the best centers in recent Carolina history. He has not let his boosters down. Against Tulane he stood off an entire Greenie 200-pound front wall. Against Penn he was mag nificent, recovering three fumbles and intercepting a forward pass to set up two touchdowns and a field goal as the Wolfmen trounced the Quakers.
