It seems that some students consider the library a place to
date, meet friends and generally shoot the bull instead of a quiet
place for study.
Unnecessary noise in the halls and in the various reading
rooms is a constant bother to those who are in the library for
study. And in many cases those students; who are using the
, library now are the very ones that need to cram for final exams.
Students who do not want to use the library as a reference
room or study hall should not bother those that do. Let the noisy
students take tneir dates and bull sessions to a spot on the campus
where they will be left alone.
University Professors Write
Histories of North Carolina
Dr. Archibald Henderson, noted
historian, biographer and Univer
sity mathematics department head,
has completed a two-volume history
of North Carolina, written from 'a
realistic and non-sectional point of
view. Three additional volumes of
biographical sketches on prominent
North Carolinians make up a five
voltime set, scheduled to appear
about the first of the year.
The history is a subscription work
and will not be on sale after the date
of, publication. Dr. Henderson's
connection is solely with the actual
historical volumes. He has had L. B.
Hill, of Chicago, a trained research
worker, as an assistant in compiling
data.
Dr, Henderson says of his history:
"This book is not written to
glorify North Carolina, to conceal
. any detrimental facts, to set up any
defense-mechanisms, to write North
Carolina history from the southern
point of view.' It is realistic in its
approach; and the story is told with
candor ' let the chips fall where
they may.' This history is written
from the national point of view; and
the history of the United States, of
which the reader is constantly re
minded, serves as a back-drop for.
, the drama of North Carolina's story.

A rarity in histories, Dr. Hender
son's work has no footnotes and no
bibliography. He reasoned that, since
his history is written for the "aver
age reader," who has no interest in
these academic appendages, they
would better he omitted.

One of the greatest needs in this
state, according to the educators, is
a better history textbook for school
children.
To meet this need, Dr. Ray New
some, head of the University of
North Carolina History department,
and an associate, Dr. Hugh Lefler,
went to bat and knocked a homer.
"The Growth of North 'Carolina,"
published by the World Book com
pany of New York, is their contribu
tion. In it they tell in simple lan
guage the social, educational and
religious life of the state, soft
pedalling military history, politics
and names of individuals.
Designed primarily for fifth
graders, the book is being consid
ered for adoption by the state's
school authorities. It contains 55
chapters covering almost 500 pages
and is well illustrated with photo
graphs and charts, many of which
are extremely rare.
A native of this state, Dr. New
some has been a member of the his
tory faculty in the University of
North Carolina since 1923, except
for a period from 1926-35 during
which he served as secretary of the
North Carolina Historical commis
sion and as editor of the North
Carolina Historical Review. He has
been head of the University's His
tory department' since 1935."
Dr. Lefler, also, a native Tar Heel,
has taught North Carolina history
for 16 years. A graduate of Trinity
college (now Duke university), he
Jook his A.B. there in 1921 and his
M.A. there in 1922, and his Ph.D.
at the University of Pennsylvania
in 1931.
He was a member of the history
faculty in North Carolina State col
lege from 1926-35 and served as li
brarian there in 1933-34. He has
been a member of the University
faculty since 1934. He is the author
of "North Carolina History Told by
Contemporaries" and of numerous
articles in other volumes and maga
zines. ' ' '

ILend An Ear
, By Louis Harris
Could You Resist?
"Genius Tech" is a . school where
the enfrance examinations consist
of being locked in a room decorat
ed with scantily clad Hollywood
sirens and mounds of rich viands.
"If a student can hold out against
these temptations for three days,
he would be eligible for this super
university and would be exposed to
48 years of monasticism to fit them
for political leadership," so tells
Pitrim Sorokin, head of the Har
vard sociology school.
You see, Professor Sorokin feels
that we are all growing to be a
bunch of softies, and soon, we will
all go down the hollow path of fat
tening so much until we just melt
away to mere gravy with a few
spices , thrown in.
Last week, Margie Hart, .red
headed, strip teaser, got mad at Har
vard man Sorokin, and told him, "If
your blood pressure, pulse, and
mental reactions remain the same
after I do my routine, I will put up
the money to send any needy stu
dent named by you through Har
vard." .
The' whole idea of Sorokin's and
many other moral-fiber-reinforcers'
seems to be that we have to put
ourselves to the greatest of tempta
tions and then deny them, so that we
can come out of it strong and virile
men. We agree with him when he
says his new university will be
"Genius Tech." .
We .imagine Professor Sorokin
would say that after a fellow has
just busted three out of four of his
final exams, he should stand a dozen
beers up before him, and merely
look at them and say, "Now, I must
grow to be strong and have moral
character, so I just won't touch a :
drop all tonight."
And, we also imagine that the
venerable Harvard man would ask
that dorm stores be provided with
seductive misses to sell champagne
and fine liquors to young freshmen,
just so that they would build up
moral resistance.
This theory might work well with
toxins and anti-toxins, as our fresh
man hygiene professors told us, but
we're afraid it would sort of upset
our wavering equilibriums and put
us in sanctified .confusion.
After all, Professor Sorokin, sup
pose we went into the room for three
days, and came out with our belly
full of rich viands, and we didn't
resist the scantily-clad Hollywood
sirens, to put it mildly?
Frankly, we've got enough of
"Genius Tech" right around us
without going out to look for more.
And as for melting away to gravy,

put forth ideas like that too many
of our brethren are liable to take up
your plan and apply for your new
college. And then, where would all
