"Teaching as a profession may not be getting its share of brains and this program should hold out attractive scholarships in ducing more talent to go into graduate work," Wilson said.

Carmichael believes that these "high quality graduate and research programs in a few institutions will set the pace and point the way to be followed by the less developed universities as these latter ac quire increased resources."

UNC has been ranked second in the south by the Southern Uni versity Conference for its grad uate program. John Hopkins was rated first while Duke was listed third in a opinnionaire survey made by the conference. If-'s Wednesday Today is Wednesday!! Sure, the calendar says to day is Saturday, January 5, 1952, but the University offi cials say today is Wednesday, January 2, 1952.

The Housing Office hands out compliments- as well as making predictions, analizing current trends and aiding drstitute stu dents. Wadsworth made an interesting and noteworthy observation about those students who have "been seeking rooms for this year. It seems recently the students have been more polite than in past years and the bicycle-riding sea going Navy officer, and Scout mastering Wadsworth and his staff are truly grateful for the courtesy shown him and his de partment. The Housing Office handles my riads of problems. They are go betweens with town houses and the University dormitories. Stu dents with special needs in hous ing accomodations receive spe cial attention and even the thirty five veterans who are on the waiting list for rooms receive Jcind words and consolation from Wads worth and his crew. Don't think for a moment the Housing Office is without woes. State property is constantly be ing marred, scarred, and charred by flippant flippers of cigarette butts. In some of the older dorms there is evidence of centuries of hurling cigarettes against the hall doors and also through the years desks, bureaus and other furniture have been burned by careless smokers. The Housing Office re quests that students be more pareful in the future and to take rare of their own property. raws IPraos, Cot ocqsoth instead Seeks e-eiectio epresesvlative John W.
