Bingham r declared that the thxtg most needed for the develop Tucr.! of the South is leadership. "TTith leadership the South can do anything," Mr. Bingham said. "Our region has certain serious handicaps, but it also has the people, the raw ic&ttrials, the natural resources to sarpcrt a glorious civilization.

The pic ture above isn't really of a line at registration but it's an apparently unending stream of students, and that's the same thing. Besides, these are all girls and that makes it a prettier picture than the normal regis tration scene would be. Hated Tally Lines Abolished As South Building Relieves Congestion in Registration Winter Registration Begins December 12 I- C. Griffin,, director of the Central Records office, made the arch-lowering tally line a thing of the past yester day with the announcement of new. plans for winter quarter registration. Students in the General College, School of Commerce and College of Arts and Sciences will register from December 12-17; all others, December 16-20.'-' -. - r.---v According to the proposal, all tally ing will be done in the Records office Two runners, constantly operating from the tally desk to the offices of the General College advisers and the School of Arts and Sciences, will, make for accuracy in closing sections. Out of all the students who will register, Griffin estimates that only a very small number will be put in sections other than those they wanted. These few may make arrangements for different sections when they re turn to school at the beginning of the winter quarter. v The student's copy of his schedule will be mailed with his report during the holidays. Speed Is Byword The new plan also calls for a gen eral relief of congestion by simple, orderly measures. Registration lines will be shortened by, the use of sched ules.

Cooperatives Would Not Work, Says Former Minister To Denmark By Shirley Hobbs "Unless the grass is two inches high, no one sees any cows in the pastures of the great dairy country of Den mark," says Frederick W. B. Coleman of Sanfordformer United States min ister to Denmark who is now study ing library science here. Coleman says, "The cows are kept in the barns until the grass in the pastures reaches a certain number of inches. Then they are tethered in- rows.. Each animal eats all the grass within the range of his tether, none is wasted and he does not tramp down uneaten grass. The cows are moved to different spots untiliand great wealth must be attributed to all the grass is eaten." Coleman gives I See COOPERATIVES, page U. Proomm CPU Also Plans Senator Debate On Johnson Act By Paul Koraisaruk Speaker Sam Ray burn of the House of Representatives heads the list of probable speakers planned for the Carolina Political Union's winter quarter agenda, Union Chairman Bill Joslin announced last night. Joslin disclosed that : Rayburn, Texas Democrat, had promised to ap pear in Chapel Hill shortly after the President's inauguration on January 20. He is expected to speak on the legislative program that the Adminis tration will attempt to push through at the coming session, and he will probably place particular emphasis on the defense program. As Speaker of the House, Rayburn is close to President Roosevelt and is considered by some to be the most powerful figure in Congress. Ray burn was majority leader in the House for a number of years and succeeded to the speakership on the death of Speaker Bankhead last falL Rayburn was originally scheduled to speak at the Hill early in the quarter; but was forced to postpone his trip in order to make campaign speeches. . Joslin also disclosed that the union plans a debate on the repeal of the Johnson act, which prohibits the Unit ed States from extending financial aid to a belligerent power. The Johnson act is almost certain to be brought tip immediately upon Congress' conven ing on January 3. Among the prominent figures th.it are being considered for the debate are Senators Gerald P. Nye, Bob La Follette, Carl Hatch, and 'Lister Hill. Playwright Robert E.-" Sherwood is also considered a likely possibility, Nye is a North Dakota (old guard) Republican, who headed the Senate Munitions Investigating Committee, and is thought to be one of the most colorful figures in Congress. Supported by Roosevelt, La Follette is the champion of civil liberties in the Senate. Hatch, New Mexico Democrat, is the author of the Hatch act which limits the amount of money a political party may spend on the election, and which caused much discussion in Con gress last spring. Robert E. Sherwood, author of the sensational Broadway production, "There Shall Be No Night," is at pres ent working with the William Allen White Committee for Aid to Britain. Ericson Speaks In New York Dr. E. E. Ericson, of the English department, will speak on a round table discussion of the youth problem in New York tomorrow. The general discussion of the prob lem is under the sponsorship of the New York College Teachers Union, of which Robert K. Speer is president. The group before which Dr. Eric son will speak is to discuss "What kind of administration, control, and support of higher education best meets the youth problem." Also on the program with Dr. Erie son are John Markey, educational di rector of the' Transport Workers union and Will Olson and David Goldway, of Local 537 of the American Federation of Teachers. Dr. Ericson will repre sent L6cal 466 of the federation. this as the best example of Danish thrift. , He says that the Danish farmers have studied the market and learned to cater to different tastes. No indi vidual sells his own products and any thing that does not conform to the high standards is thrown off the mar ket. "It would be almost impossible to displace the Danish market for dairy products and bacon The Danes even know what people like their bacon fat and what people like it lean.
