College Comment From the Watchtower, of Wesleyan College, we learn that the fair peaches of the Georgia institute have an excellent custom, to wit, that of inviting high school students from prominent Geor gia cities to visit their campus, where they are feted and entertained in the in terest of increased enrollment. We at Carolina would be compelled to guide the damsels about with bowed beads, and mournfully to admit that even thoug,h they desire to become children of Carolina we have no adequate dwelling place for future co-eds, regardless of their scholastic ability, or what is more important, their beauty: Nevertheless, we admire Wesleyan's - system, and would enjoy seeing bevies of high school lasses visiting the campus with an eye to future education. As for our eyes, tush, tush I The Richmond Times-Despatch of November 11 carries an article under the caption "The College Honor System Under Fire," showing how the honor system and student government in gen eral is at present a topic for nation-wide discussion, much of it unfavorable to the collegiate world, and the New York Times joins in the assault with a lengthy discourse upon the doleful death of the Yale and Amherst College honor sys tems during 1928. That the name of the University of South Carolina does not appear among the obituaries of college honor is cause for joyous exclamation. Tho the Honor System has not been officially buried in the bosom of Carolina's campus, it is like Mahomet's coffin, appropriately enough, in a state of suspension so far as any concerted functioning is concern ed. There is no better time than the present for restoring it to its fcll force j and glory. s 5 "At the instigation of the Dean some representative from the school of Edu cation will make a talk at chapel period on 'How to Develop Speed in Reading'" -' -The Tarheel, U.N.C. For real information on the subject C- we suggest that the learned lecturer cor eOS respond with our classmates of lightning mentality who neglect their parallel 3 reading until the night before it is due, and then cover it like a butterfly, flit ting from page to page with superb speed. Sherwood Anderson, noted Virginia author and lecturer, recently spoke to the student body of the University of North Carolina. His subject was "The Creative Impulse," which "can never be downed because it is the only thing that can give man the satisfaction of achieve ment." It would be highly desirable to have Mr. Anderson repeat his lecture in the University chapel, for the spirit of crea tion is either dormant or extinct in the souls of many local students. The ac tive part which creation should play - is usurped by the ease of imitation or obliterated by an attitude of indifference toward every phase of campes life. Any student who is graduated without having performed some task born of love for his Alma Mater can never grasp the full pleasure of atta'nment which a de gree should signify.

Gives Account Of iOwn Life During Great World War WAS A GREEK ORTHODOX Finds Bible And Reads It-Be comes Only Christian In His Town Constantine Oleinick, of Ukrahia, Rus sia, spoke Sunday night before a good audience in the University chapel giving a running account of his own life in Rus sia during the GreatWar, the Revolu tion and the Civil War that followed. He told in graphic terms of the privation and hardships that the peasants endured as the Bolsheviks tried to wipe out the idea of God by teaching the small chil dren that there was no God, and ended his story by an account of his own con version to Christianity through reading the Bible. "I was born in Ukrainia, Russia of poor peasant parents," said Mr. Olienick "and was' taught to read by my mother when I was about five years old. I was a member of the Greek Orthodox church because that was the state church and every child born in Ukrainia was a mem ber of the church whether he desired to be or not. He couldn't help it." Mr. Oleinick told something of their l:ves, saying that although he could read, he was never allowed to read the Bible because the law was that no one could read the Bible except the priest. He said that he remembered well the scenes during the great war as there were many battles fought around his home by the Russians and the Germans "i remember the German soldiers burning the homes of our neighbors The "Gione ro saying,"are onto an esca a sun helme passage to ti fromi again.' Nevertheli owns to a ChesterGelds MILD e; as they drive the Rt:ssian troops out of our neighborhood, and times when there was no bread in our homes, little chil dren by the scores died of starvation and I and my family were hungry for weeks." Continuing, "I remembcr the times when we slept out in the snow. But the memory of the greatest thing in my life was when the Bolsheviks told = f that there was no God. They said that we are gods ourselves." The speaker related how the Bolshe viks gave banners to school children labelled "Away with God" and other similiar captions and had them parade through the street with them. Also atheism was taught the children in the schools. Mr. Olienick told how he became dis satisfied with his life and wanted to learn about God but could find no way. He went to the church but the church was dead. He went to his father and asked him but rieither he nor his mother could tell him how to find God. "I asked my Father," said the speaker, "if there was no book that would tell me about God and he told me that there was a book called the Bible but that it was against the law to read it." But finally he found a copy of the Bible and read it and was the first Christian in his town. Naturally this resulted in a great deal of persecution. There is now a Protestant Christian church in his town and people are read ing the Bible and learning about God. Mr. Oleinick related how he came to America to study and how he plans to return to his home to carry on the work 1 of the church there. --Usc The Sanitary Cafe A Cordial Welcome, Tasty Food Reasonably Priced Phone 9138 1345 Main St. sill? iiever Chesferfie/ '7s", we can imagine Dr. Freud as leople whose nurses dropped them lator in early childhood.
