The Very Idea!
By BURTON E. SnooK
The influx of high school studen.,
always a cheery sight, has not lost its
flavor as is evidenced by the amount of
interest which has been taken in the
activities of our visitors. Carolina stu
dents now feel that High School week
is as much a University activity as the
regularschool work, and certainly mo:"
agreeable than some of the ro; tine work.
High school stu:lents who are pla:.::ing
to go to college next year might do
well to look over Carolina ar.d invest
gate its curriculum, its social advantages,
and its varied extra-curricula opportuni
ties. Carolina has much to offer.
The University hopes to welcome
many of the presel.t visitors next fall
students.

The writer's theory that open poli
t:cs should be introduced on the can
pus seems not to have been received
with much favor if the freshman elec
tion is to be taken as indicative of he
trend of campus thought.
While somewhat disappointed that
open politics were not introduced at
this election, I cannot but congratulate
the class on its choice of president. A
leader in several lines of student acti
vities and the possessor of ' a great
deal of wit and discrimination, he
should be a credit to the Vass which
has elected him.

The response of the campus to the
lxtension department's request for
rooms for the visiting high school stu
dents has been very gratifying and has
greatly helped those in charge.
The fact that no appropriation was
made by the legislature for the con
ducting of High School week has pre
sented almost insurmountable obstacles
to the Extension department and the
successful handling of the situation re
flects much credit or. )r. Babcock and
his all too few assistants.
Incidentally it might be remarked
that the Extension department is run
ning on exactly nothirg per year and is
'terformting a great service for the
state.
The only danger in the economical
runnirg of the depart n+ent is that the
gentlemen who hold the strings of the
money bags might conclude that soni
other departments of the Universit.
might be run on the same basis.
Carried to its conclusion, this coursc
might eventually mean free educatior
on a scale never before attempted
maybe, just maybe.

Part II is a scene of revelry. It i

Dear Sirs:
I am a prodigal son.
I began pipe-smoking with Edge
worth. But after a while I began to
wander, trying other tobaccos, experi
menting to see if there were any better
tobacco for the pipe.
I have tried most of the best known
brands and a number of the more ob
scure, both imported and domestic,
but they didn't suit.
So now I have returned -I am using
Edgeworth again, satisfied that no
better tobacco is made.
"And the prodigal son partook of
the fatted calf"; I bought a new pipe
when I returned to Edgeworth.
With many thanks for my cool, mel
low, sweet smokes, I am,
E dVery trulyr yours,.
