Caro lina's representation last year was a strong one and we remem her with a great deal of pleasure the showing it made, both in ath lectics and other activities. Let's do our best to even better last year's showing and send a dele gation that will wave the Garnet and li ack in real style. We observe with a great deal of interest the City's paving pro gram. Paving is being stopped at the edge of the campus, since the legislature's failure to ap propriate our "share" of the ex pense. \Ve must say, in short, that this is surely an unappreci ative attitude assumed by the City. but it seems useless to com ment. Perhaps some day the city will awaken to a realization of one of its greatest assets. THE FRATERNITY SITUATION The fight over the fraternity proposition at the University has brought about a condition which, to say the least, is an ugly one. An cutirely different phase has been rendered since the action of the faculty and discipline com mittee. It is indeed to be regret ted sincerely that nothing short of the action taken by the an thorities seemed sufficient to ad just conditions, but they have (e termnined1 that affairs must he definitely settled regardless of homw drastic the measures neces sarv may be. I,ast spring when this same problem arose a compromise was effected and we welcomled a tie (dawn for Carolina. l,verybb(dy seemed ready to back the institu tion ill a c(ncerted effort to pro mo te her best interests. But facts as brought out by investiga tion of the faculty show that this agreement has not been kept. Had it been kept. the Present up heaval wmdd not have come>rc". Sub-rosa fraternities continued to operate at the University and 4 these continued to initiate new members. and ill additimn. efforts wyere made to get new chapters here. 'T'his. of ciurse, resulted in the lleastures adopted by the Board of 't'rustees and the faculty ill the recent revival oI the agitatio in. \\ c rlize t hat there will al ways lie ai fraternity spirit einvel bipmlg I url c;unpIuis. andlb conlseptent ly C coniion ls wVould( lie nutlchi better if open fraterniities were allo(wedt, thlereby eniatblinig a coElit it ive siri it tl e.xist.

I,4ast year's situation and( thle condl(itionls existing at pres ent . should conilvince uts 1hevondl a dobt that thuis is true. I f such is thle case. why (lbo mien most interest ed ill fraternities not leind ttheir ef frs to war<tl havinig the law rep)eal ed,. rather thanat adj ustinig Eor inter prletinug it toi suit themselves ? We as a student body have gonle on recobrdl liefore as favorwing opmen fraternities, and( an effoirt was' made to have the statute repealed wthichi forbids their existence in State institutions we fought. good tight and lost, and the legisla ture still says we shall not have Greek letter organizations. 'l'here fore, the fact remains that what the law IS and what it should be are two entirely different things. Many laws exist which we do not like. but because of this fact, we have no right to break them . The majority rules. I f we do not like such laws there is maui festly only two things to (o, as law abiding citizens, and that is to either get the law re pealed, or to go where it does not atTect us. Now, which is the log ical course to pursue at Carolina ? It certainly seems to us that if we are to stay here we should he wil ling to abide by the law, or go to some institution where the law (oes not apply. had this attitude been assumed by students, even since the compromise last spring, the present disgusting situation would not have been brought about. As it is. half a hundred men are home on suspension and new pledges must be signed renouncing alTili ation with the Greek letter frater nities during each student's stay at the University. 'The action taken by the Board and Faculty could have been fore told by anyone observing conditions since last spring. However, now is the time to stop this childish squabble forever, but only a com mon agreement, and a close obser vance of same, can make this possi ble. If we are to have fraternities, let's get the legislature to give them to us open and not interl)ret the law ini a manner that does not give equal rights and privileges to every member of the student body. WHY YOU SHOULD GO TO BLUE RIDGE 'T,en days at Blue Ridge should i'stitute a part of every stu lent's four years in college. 'here are many reasons for this statement, and I shall attempt to grive a few of them. 1. There is the inspiratin all br adening ettect which comes from the association with six hulnd(red t r tmore of the best stu lent leaders in our Sotlthern col leges. 2. The ten days tintig there in one of the most beautiful re sorts not only in North America, but iii the whole world. 3. 'I'he vwell balanced lecture class progratmi alnd the athletic acti vities in thle foirnm of various co lege gamnes and miounitaini hikes put one in the very best of Iphy~sicalI tiim a ft er a hard yea r if college wo.(rk. 4. The oppilortulnity to pro(fit by the lessonts giv.en byv somie of Amierica 's leading speakers and workers, whose abilities of lead e'rshipj are out staniniig. 5. Tlhe proper development of thle progirami of work for the Yomutng Mlen's5 Chrtist ian Associ ationi is indlissohib)ly linked w.ithi a g(oo(l representative Blue Ridge del ega tIin. 6. .\lo(re impox rtanit thban all thiese' is the influence of those ten (lays ini fixing the faith of the in dlividuhal in thle eternal verities of life, and placing the foundatioin (if a strotng religious b)asis foir the superstr'ucture of his sublse quhenlt life. lege this opportunity and though my financial resources are very limited. I shall be willing to re imlburse any individual who goes to Blue Ridge and who does not get out of the trip many times the value of the money invested. 1 do not know of a stronger way to express my belief in the Blue Ridge Conference. If I did, I should make my statement more emphatic. \V. G.
