For This News: SYLVAN MEYER University History Homecoming day and Uni 'versity day, both of which cjr. .f in the fall quarter, give to or.-: who loves the University i?e jolization that perhaps ere a many who come here ctu ;tnts, pass through the - earsof classroom-dormi-s tory-diiing hall life, and then f.lc across the stage and re ceive their degrees-all with out ever having truly sensed the history, tradition and po sition of the University. .' With over 4,000 . students enrolled in the institution, it is quite easy to believe that this educational' machine is grind ing out an unfinished product a man who can quote thou sands of lines from Milton, a man who can compute the weight of the earth, a man who can keep the books of a big corporation but who, for the life of him, cannot relate the truths and legends about his University. K iV understandable, too, why most of the students fail to grasp the significance of their Alma Mater. In a busy University such' as this it is the common tendency to pick up only that knowledge which throws itself or is thrown into the face of the bewildered student. Apparently, then, if Uni versity men are to become f orr ever University men in the truest sense, the history ol their Alma Mater must be served up to them. The simp lest means of supplying this need would be the creation of a course in the history of the University. The history de partment would be adding a popular and worthwhile fea ture to its curriculum if it would develop such a course.

He said that even with all the air bases of Germany and its conquered nations only about 4,000 of the huge Nazi force , of planes could be sent aloft at one time. It was here that Ryan complimented the University for its "initiative and patriotism" in cooperating with the national defense program and pre-, dieted that the University's airport, when completed according to present plans, would replace Purdue univer sity's as the nation's number one col lege airport. , He also pointed out the necessity for broadening the idea of national de fense to include hemisphere defense and told the past and future role of civil aeronautics in developing this end. ' Aim Ear By Louis Harris Post Mortem Just as the little boy who liked the looks of a bright red firecracker but didn't quite realize what would happen when he set it off, so this column tried to prove a point last Friday by using familiar episodes in college life. . What we were driving at through the maze of Alka Seltzer and jigger-fulls was that students should attach values to things that they do at college. We all know that when the fel lows ask us to go to a show on Sun day afternoon it is difficult to re fuse and we usually go. Well, there are many, many instances where we do not stop' to appraise just what we are about down here at college. Last Friday we pointed out that there are three types of values: real, temporary, and fictitious. As words, they mean little; as living parts of all of our lives they mean plenty. . When we get out of the merry whirl of gay, N happy dances, care-, free good times at college, we will have to face a world that is cold and bare a city of streets that cares little for how many honors have been acquired at school, or even what . sort of a life has been led. What matters in that great beyond out side is what we have inside of our selves and how we can put it across. Eversman Violin Concert Sunday Is Well Received The program John Eversman, violinist, presented Sunday after- noon was certainly a delightful and ' enjoyable one.' Richard Worley, di- rector of Graham Memorial, is to be commended for his choice of ar tist for the opening concert, and for the pleasing effect to the eye with. the new type program. The tone-quality with which Mr. Eversman played was beautiful. It was sympathetic and rich. The artist performed with great care fulness and unfailing attention to details, revealing training of a high order. The two compositions receiving the, greatest approbation from the audience were the "Czardas" by Monti, which was played with the closest approach to abandonment, and the "Londonderry Air" tran scribed by Kriesler, ) played with the closest approach to sentiment. The "Czardas" was easily the most brilliant number on the program. Mr. Eversman's manner was i This Collegiate (By Associated Collegiate Press) Down at Sam Houston State col lege, Huntsville, Texas, there's a man who's really busy: Earl Huf for, head of the speech department. In 23 years he's been responsible for forming the college's first band, organization of a department of public service and a department of speech arts, starting the college print shop, and organization of four clubs. He has directed the town's Metho dist choir for 23 years in addition to coaching debate, sponsoring various clubs, leading a civic organization, directing lyceums for the college, writing and poetry and playing golf. We- don't know anything about Professor Huffor's dietary habits, but he brings to mind the observa tion by the University of Missouri's Professor Mullet: "It's always been amazing to me that a man who lived on baked potatoes and buttermilk could do the things Brigham Young did." News item: "University of Mary land sophomores rounded up sev eral hundred freshmen and bade them 'pray for rain.' A rainstorm struck the campus a few hours later." This higher education is really great stuff t ain't it, folks ? Thumb fun. eh, kid? Dick John son, University of Nebraska stu dent, hitch-h:kes nine miles every morning to attend classes and work at a bank in town. And Keyes Car son, Texas A&M student, holds an unofficial record for hitch-hiking from New York to California in four days. Down around Atlanta they tell many an anecdote about Warren Aiken Candler, retired "Methodist bishop who is credited with "father Naturally, the question has to be raised, what real permanent values do exist in, college? What are the i temporary parts of our experience, and what are the false, superficial : phases of our lives . here on the campus? . - ' Here are a few examples of what we consider are gems to mine out of the collegiate gold pit: To learn how to thrash a problem out in our . own minds, logically and with good common sense: to learn what has gone on in the world for the past centuries and to have an inkling as to what might happen in the future; to make many friends who will make our future lives richer and warmer; and to prepare our interests and abilities for a test in some txicupa tion. Undoubtedly there are other per manent values to college. Each stu dent probably has his little den of experiences which will help him later on. The idea we are driving at is to get as much of the good as possible out of those four strange years of a young boy or girl's life called college. .

' - Although the conception of the Mendelssohn "Concerto in E Minor" as music exceeded its realization in terms of the instrument, the artist projected the essentials of the com position. In my opinion, the audience, Un der the influence of Sunday din ners of chicken and rice, was som nolent and apathetic, and failed to fulfill its share of the contract im-, plicitly demanded by the public ef forts of any artist. : ; , Kenneth Lee, at the piano, was not well-oriented until the latter half of the program. Confronted with the task of changing from the role of accompanist to that of solo ist, Mr. Lee did not seem able to rise to the imaginative level re quired for individual ; performance. However, the accompaniments in the last half of the program were sym pathetic and charming, as was Mr. Lee. Josephine Andoe. World ing" Emory university.

Coeds A ains Responding to a letter to the editor about the gravel-versus-brick sidewalks problem the Daily Tab Heel conducted a survey of the shoes the coedsvare wearing on the campus this year. It was found, just as the Tar Heel pre-supposed, that the coeds do not wear a preponder ance of high heel shoes, but rather, wear saddle shoes in an overwhelm ing majority. In fact, statistics show that for every pair of high heel shoes there are five pairs of saddles, and just about that many low heel shoes. The feet of 98 coeds were ob served during the course of a day. Result of survey: 45 wore saddle shoes; 44 wore other kinds of flat heel shoes; 9 wore high heels. Incidental point in the Jetter reads as follows: "As far as shoe leather is concerned, a brick walk would do more damage than the gravel, es pecially to high heels. The bricks - New Humor Magazine Bill An Act to establish a humor magazine to be published by the Publications Union board for the students of the University of North Carolina. . " PREAMBLE WHEREAS, there is : a general demand on the part of the students for a humor magazine; and WHEREAS, there is a definite necessity for a humor magazine in order that the students shall have an opportunity for well-rounded practical journalistic experience; and WHEREAS, it is the unanimous demand of the students that any publication printed in their name shall be only of the highest moral level; now, therefore, The Student-Legislature of the University of North Carolina, do enact: - T Sec. 1: The Publications Union board shall provide for the publica tion of a humor magazine, begin ning with the issue for November,' 1940; and the student body, through their legislature, hereby authorizes the Publications Union board to use the student Publications union fee for the support of the magazine so published. Sec. 2: The Publications Union board shall select an appropriate Quotable Quotes (By Associated Collegiate Press) "Whenever you find a group fighting to increase its share of the national consumption in ways that lessen the national production as a whole, you have an example of local 'power, politics. Unfortunately, American trade-unionism, by and large, has notyet wholly emerged from this fighting-for-one's-rights-at-the-expense-of -others stage. There are, of course, some notable exceptions in the way of unions that have given effective co-operation in increasing the productivity of their numbers and the total production of their industries. But all too many, not only of the rank and file but of the leaders' as well, still believe, or . profess to believe, that the less a man can do today and still draw his pay, the more there will be left for him and his fellow workmen to do tomorrow." Dr. Harvey N. Davis, president of Stevens Institute of Technology, declares that power politics represents a y reversion .to the philosophy of highway robbery. "The spirit of America is so re mote from the spirit of Europe that we are barely awake to some of the menace which threatens. Most of that menace bids fair to drop to pieces in time from lack of balance and overweight." Dr. Herbert I. Priestley, professor of Mexican his tory at the University of California, feels that totalitarian dreams are doomed.- ' f "At a time of great emotional ap peal such as that which ; now pre vails, one will do well to concentrate upon one's work more than ever and to be unswayed by speculations or vague commentaries filled with foreboding for the future." Pres. Thomas' S.1 Gates of the University of Pennsylvania cautions against false prophets. "There is no greater, menace at the moment than the danger that r sensitiveness to evil should become numb by reason of constant familiar ity with evil. We shall not save our. way of life through denunciation of the wrong; salvation can only be bouldnVGomplain rick Sidewalks wear off, one gets higher than xa other, and when it rains, Urg puddles of water stand on the When ice forms, the bricks get slip pery, and transportation is almost impossible. As far as shoe leather is cotk ceraed, a brick walk would be heaven compared to gravel, since saddle shoes are in order. It's simply a matter of science that the gravel will grind off shoe leather faster than a smooth brick. About the puddles all that ea& be said is that it's a lot healthier to stand in good clean water than n to your ankles in mud. And as bricks getting slippery when it's icy, well-I-l, it's already been said that coeds wear saddle shoes. Slip ping when you have on saddles is something of a feat. And if didn't slip on the bricks, you'd prob ably slip some place else; so then what's the percentage!

Sec. 5: The contents of the maga zine shall be subject to the ap proval of the entire editorial staff of the magazine at a meeting to be held before each issue goes to press.

The policy of the staff shall at all times be to include only such material as is in keeping with the highest standards, prin ciples, and traditions of the Univer sity.

Charles Seymour of Yale university calls for an alert creed in which right excludes aB wrong., "Our Latin American youth have never become compromising, pamp ered and soft, and have been ever ready for great sacrifices.
