It is the right of all to have a college education and I'm sure our forefathers who came here over 120 years ago would have desired it. "Difficu.Xies present, themselves, but each of you is the machinist or maker with God himself as a model. You have the job of making men and women. "Failure will make you the loser, suc cess will give you the glory. Human b)eings are imperfect, but even poor ma terial can be .made into a thing of hea. ty." Dr. Melton gave several reasons for failure in college and in the foremost place he listed laziniess. "It could be called by several other names," he said, "but that fits." Worldliness was also a great draw back, he stated, and there was no honor in being the champion of a pool room. Small things amount up and as an illus tration he pictured Gulliver fastened by the Lilliputianis. "'rhere are, however, some remedies," Dr. Melton concluded. "Work and med itat;ve reflection with eagerness of de sire will accomplish much. Gallileo and Henry IV were meditative theikers.

The balloting for presidency will begin at 10:30 o'clock and ballots taken until a result is reached. If this is com pleted before the end of the chapel period, vote will be taken on the other officers. This will be the last time that class elections are held in the fall of the year at Carolina. The new constitu tion for the student body makes pro vision that future elections be held in ,the spring for the following session. By this means it is planned to avoid any delay in organizing class and stu dent body activities. Any work nec essary duOing the summer, months can be undertaken by class officers.

"The addition of another co-ed annex this year is not indicative of a policy for adding this much needed accommodjtion each year. The state should realize the inadequacy of our dormitory space." Dr. Melton explained that the "Rem bert homd' on Greon street will allow rooms for thirty more co-eds that were housed on the campus last ye-r. This building and the rinnex that was 1.sed last year wvill providle against any such condition as prevailed last year (luring the epidemic of colds. "Our infirmary," the president saidl. "is entirely too small to accommodate both the men and women students in case of emergency. With the two annexes available, we can providle an emergency infirmary for the girls. But the dlormi tories must be furnished by the State." The new building will be in charge oi Miss Helen Smith, Physical Director of Women. The house is a handsome colo-I oial structure and is attractively located. The girls will have only a half-block walk to the camp)us. The interior of the annex has been thoroughly prepared for the new students who will find theirI home for the next nine months a com fortable place. No reservations at the woman's bulild ing have been made since last February. ~ Trhe waiting list has not been exhausted yet.
