For This News: ORVILLE CAMPBELL OVERGROWN Subsidization Squabble Again The editorial space of the Carolina Magazine for this month is devoted to the recent action of State college in bring ing subsidization out in the open to provide material for a win ning football team. In the course of his article, the writer, presumably Allen Green, compares the problem with the one at Chicago, where President Robert Hutchins has dropped in tercollegiate football from the sports schedule. The article continues : "In most cases, football has become com pletely divorced from the col lege. About the only thing inter collegiate left about the game is that the various colleges lend their names to the teams they proselyte . . . the whole situation is shot full of hypocrisy." Also: "It has become a mad race to see which college can collect the most efficient set of players, and consequently the biggest gate receipts." We have not as yet commented on the new set-up at State. We didn't know. But to say we disagree with Mr. Green's flat statement that football needs de-emphasization is to put it mildly. The old subsidization bugaboo is always being slammed, and perhaps there is something to the argument that de-emphasization i3 necessary. - It suits us much more for a few football players to get self help jobs and enough cash re muneration on the side to pay expenses here rather than join the Davidson class as a state and conference athletic doCrmat. And we also feel that Mr. Green is highly mistaken on his in ferred denunciation of football players because . . players are not in college for the primary purpose of getting an educa tion." The majority of football play ers and the MAJORITY OF STU DENTS are here to get the Al mighty Degree, first requirement for almost any job. It's a small minority fortunate enough toon by everyone from the trus - Spring Holidays. Entered as second! the college year. National Advertising Service, Inc.

TOUGH NewBucTo Cost Too Much Editor "Bill Stauber of the Carolina Buccaneer has come through with probably the best publication idea of the decade. And as the rules of dollars and cents would have it, nothing can be done about his brainchild. The Buccaneer has traveled a rocky road in recent years, and this year has been no exception. Major catastrophe was the Stu dent council ruling banning the November issue. So, with the idea of transforming the humor magazine into a publication suit able for even Shirley Temple to read, Stauber presented his plan of changing the Buccaneer to a collegiate "Life," filled with pic tures, a few cartons, and a smat tering of jokes. Everyone who has seen the tentative edition he had drawn up is enthusiastic about the sug gested change. There is no ques tion about it: the student would like the new Buccaneer. But how to do it? The engraver . estimates the Buccaneer would cost from $1, 200 to $1,600 more a year than at present. Current revenue would not permit this additional expense; it would have to come from the publications surplus. But this course would not be a solution to the problem, for in a short time the surplus would be dwindled away. Raise the present $6.90 pub- lications fee? First, a majority vote in a referendum participat- ed in by half the student body would be constitutionally neces- sary to hike the fee. Secondly, a fee increase would be frowned THE DAILY COED1TS By Dot Coble and Dosis Goeech "The six Duke university women 1 above were chosen from 21 campus beauties as candidates for the title, 'Miss University," and their pictures will appear in the 1940 issue of the "YacketyYack The above statement, which appear ed in several of the state newspapers I last Monday, was declared erroneous I by Jack Lynch, editor of the annual, who explained that only one of the I girls' pictures would appear in the yearbook along with one from each of (nine other outstanding schools only lone of them from Carolina. However, this does not alter the case. A certain number of girls were selected by com- mittees on their own campuses and their pictures sent to Earl Carroll for the final selection. Carolina students had no choice in the matter. They were not even allowed to vote on whe ther the idea was agreeable to them. If any of the 10 girls whose pictures are to appear in the Yackety Yack, with the exception of the one coed, are known on this campus, it is purely v ' co incidental. If those girls were sponsors chosen by prominent men on the campus, such as is the practice at many other schools, there would be- some excuse for their pictures appearing in our publication, but what is the object of J borrowing strange beauties when there are plenty of them right here under our very noses.

And by "they" I mean a group of sincere folks who indulged in the gargantuan plungings of the man and feel that this "Pulpit HilL" is the fittest resting place for his millions of words. And it is probably a good idea, though I would hate to think that they . were preparing a shrine where the faithful could be awed by a neat bibliographical label. But that is not the subject of this column. I am interested in one segment of Wolfe's manuscripts which may not even be included in such a collection. And yet it is really the most interesting of them all. Back m 1919 a guy named Tom Wolfe took a philosophy course under Horace Williams "The Hegel of the Cotton-patches," as he called him. This was in that year so excellently described in his writing. With Tom just growing into the full extent of his gangling and often incoherent flight into himself. And Tom, at least from his books, running madly after new adventures in sensations that would appease the subjective thirst witmn mm. Ana lom lapping up all of those wells of cloistered learning even as he mocked them. This was the year that the young man interested in writing was growing the huge step that was his as a writing-man. And it was then that he wrote an essay in connection with the Worth Prize, When he won the prize they printed up an edition of his essay in those white-paper pamphlets that a few teachers and members of the-family read. Mr. Williams' introduction men tioned a certain Thomas Wolfe who had displayed a facility of expression which was used for a most worth while and, at the time, radical theme. And it was just something done for a philosophy class. In 1919, before Wolfe became the apostle of the mirror worshiping romanticists. But that little essay was concerned with capital and labor. And it was damned good. Wolfe, applying the dialectic which he learned from Wil liams and Hegel and apparently promptly forgot very soon afterwards, tried very intelligently to study the fight between employer and employee. He recognized the need of labor for a position and a collective voice, and suggested legislation which would in sure the workers against the big bully suppression -which still goes on in 1940. In the writing Wolfe displays a mature understanding of forces and battling society which grows less dis tinct with each of his books. It is a concise and admirable statement of the cause of labor.

' - ' : --' ' V , . For the interesting thing' iu that Wolfe rarely bothered with this point of view in the novels which have given him enough importance to rate a manu script memorial here in, his Chapel Hill. Somehow somewhere along the inverted introspective path of his life he let them drop. And the great power which he uses to over-describe himself were never used for a fine cause which might haye made him a really great writer. m ai i i io us, xne loierani ennaren 01 a liberal university, there is a sort of gloomy significance in this. For it was here that Wolfe nursed the beginnings of a tine social doctrine. And "out there, out out there" he lost it. Though that loss and that personal frustration is so beautifully described that we ad mire it and collect it. I mean the manuscripts of the Thomas Wolfe who lived and died "out out there." World Philosopher (Continued from first page) words by showing autographs and in scriptions from each. King claims he can answer any ques tion put to him, and when quizzed by Husbands and Roy Armstrong put on a miraculous performance. While an swering interview question, he idly sketched a caricature of Husbands which would have done credit to a pro fessional cartoonist. Cole can work with oils, too, and plans to paint sev eral campus beauty spots before he departs for an unknown destination. The man who has been in capitals of every country in the world except two, Syria and Korea, boasts 14 degrees from various schools, although his early education was limited to 19 months. He swears that given 15 min utes with four. people, speaking any dialect in the world, he can join the conversation. At a dormitory, he out talked a native Venezuelian in Span ish. Questions shot at him about all countries, on. all subjects, were an swered promptly and truthfully. NO SOCKS Dressed in a checked sport coat, wrinkled gray pants, a maroon shirt with an orange and white spotted tie, grizzled, gray, stocky King Cole ate dinner at the new cafeteria with Arm strong, a reporter, and Queen. He crossed his legs, relaxed, and exhibit ed high-top shoes and no socks. f" " nioan from him. He was born in Haters- town, Md., grandson of a railroad en gineer who joined Jesse James gang.

C. HoweI'5 English 59 class at 9:30 this inomW in 210 Phillips halt He will discuss techniques for s. curing employment, how to write ap plications, how to prepare for an in terview and other kindred topics. Any interested persons who desire to hear Mr. Welch are invited to attend. Kinley was assasinated, and did rush business during the Spanish-American war. Since then, he's worked at no job, but has bummed around from country to country. "Jails and penitentiaries are nice places," he commented out of a clear sky. "I've been in plenty of 'em. You know who you're associating with there, but outside you never can tell what youH run into." WELFARE OF NEWSBOYS King's main interest is the welfare of newsboys all over the country. He has organized clubs and associations for their benefit, and is trying to stamp out "rackets" affecting them "Tom Dewey style," he admitted. What would he like to do now? "Well, I want to instruct journalism or edit a paper. Ana l m planning to write & new version of the Bible. That'll take time, so I need to settle down some place." The veteran traveler has been fea tured in "Strange as it Seems," by John Hix. To date he has handled or been connected with 11,381 differ ent periodicals papers, magazines, and other publications. He has be tween 30, and 40,000,000 autographs, colected on four trips he has made around the world. Dozens of scrap books, part of a larger collection at Cincinnati, accompany him wherever he goes. Hotels, restaurants, tourist camps, and two-Dit nop nouses are his regular diet, and because of his national reputation most living ex. penses are on the cuff. USED TO BOX In younger days, Cole was quite a boxer. Jack Dempsey is his pal, and Joe Louis once laid him on the can vas. It was suggested he meet Gates Kimball, but Cole indicated his heart and muttered "not as stout as it used to be." He punched cattle with Will Rogers long ago, and has hobnobbed with bigshots and royalty for 30 years. He was in the Greek army in 1916, and later joined the Foreign Legion.;.;, ikr.4 Newspaper men are his friends wherever he goes. "O. O. Mclntyre was a genius," he reminisced. "Heywood Broun had a head on his body. West brook Pegler and H. I. Phillips are about the best now." Don't get the impression that King's earthly conversation brands him a bum. He speaks flawless English, is more intelligent than any ten college professors, and can give you straight dope on any subject under the sun. He knows the Bible from front to back, and is serious about rewriting it to conform with his own ideals. "I'm a Catholic, supposedly," he said. "But I go to any church when I get the urge. I hate to say it, but most of the ministers in this country aren't real Christians. I believe a man should do what he thinks best. Thinking now there's what the world needs more of." REYNOLDS "WINDBAG" Cole has never voted in his life, but believes Roosevelt has done good work and that Norman Thomas has his points. "Party affiliation means noth ing," he stated, and added: "Bob Rey nolds is a windbag. Clyde Hoey is a real statesman." Cole has offered to appear on the platform with any professors the stu dent body picks during the quiz-pro gram feature of student-faculty day. "Ill answer the questions that stump the profs," he said modestly. Cole wouldn't answer queries con cerning his income. He doesn't pan handle but when, Ben Husbands of fered him a quarter he took it. Boys in K dormitory took up a collection for the King and Queen. Right now, he's seeking a good "flop house" in Chapel Hill, or someone whoU put him and his wife up for a few days. Queen just won't sleep by herself, Cole said as the interview ended.
