UNUSUAL CLUBS
ARE ORGANIZED
& V *' ' ^ 'J**
Carolina Students Determine To
Help Unemployment Situ!
atibn In Novel Way
/ i? . v , .,
The unemployment situation will yet
be solved. Carolina students have done
more than their part towards solving it
by forming two unusual clubs.
Some of' the most prominent men at
Carolina have formed a crack jumping
association. The founders state that they
got their idea from the famous frog
jumping episode. No one knows the
names of these acrobats save those who
have witnessed their pliyful leaps on
the lawns and their serious demeanors
as they practice the ri^s of their fraternity.
The object of this club is to
promote economy by saving the wear
and > tear on the cracks in sidewalks.
This club will also help the unemployment
situation by wearing out the sidewalks
in half the time it would ordinarily
take.
Another club, of girls, Pan-Hellenic
^in its membership, fosters the same
3 cause by helping the unemployed shocS
makers and cotton manufacturers. No
3 name has yet been given this group and,
j like the famous French Academy, no
^ one knows all $f the members. The 6y~
word of the club is, "Pardon me while
2 I ignore you."
g An interview with one of the members
brought forth this startling statement
as to the club's purpose: "Our real purpose
in founding this club was to en?
courage the fast-fading art of sewing.
Each member has solemnly sworn to'
pull off all bows, buttons and Other pullables
from their fellow members' clothes.
In avoiding this, statistics show, each
member wears out her shoes at ten times
thf regular rate."

DANCE GIVEN AT
STEWARD'S HALL
Another new attraction was added to
the Steward's Hall list of features Thursday
night when -a dance was given its
patronizers. It was from 8:30 to 11:30
and opened the series of Christmas social
events. v\ >
' ' ' " .. '
This dance, although the first of its
kind, may possibly be one of a series of
similar affairs. Plans are being made to,
have added attractions of such a nature
as frequently as attendance warrants it.
The hall was appropriately decorated
for the dance. Music was furnished by
Piute Wimberly's orchestra.

TRACK ABOLITION
STARTS COMMENT
Intra-Mural Sports Pound Sufficient
At Emory University;
Students Object
?'
Emory University's abolition of *
track, its last major intercollegiate
sport, has provoked much editorial
comment from newspapers in all parts
of the country. \
, The following quotation taken from
the Macon News is typical of the c
newspapers' attitude: ]
"It appears that the Emory system t
of inter-mural sports satisfied the stu- i
dents pretty well. That may seem in- t
credible to college graduates who s
think of the Alma Mater almost entirely
in terms of touchdowns but it
suggests that there are advantages in t
the .Emory system that the intercollegiate
competition does not have, t
Apparently Emory students do not
need the irrelevant stimulus of newspaper
ballyhoo to enjoy their games."

WANTS TO CHANGE '

Mistaken Identity Causes Northern

Title J
Middle town, Conn.?Agitation has *
been renewed this year on the Wesleyan
University campus to have the *
name of the college changed a
For some time now the change of
name has been the subject of much ?
discussion, the chief reason for the 8
proposed change is that the institution
is so frequently mistaken for s
Wesleyanss in other parts of the v
country, such as West Virginia Wes- s
leyan. Ohio Wesleyan, and several n
others in the mid-west.
It is also declared on the campus h
that the name indicates a closer con- o
nection with the Methodist Episcopal fi
church than is warranted. o
This year the. college is finding it s
difficult to gain any publicity outside
of the New England and Atlantic
Coast states, bccause of the feeling s
,on the part of newspaper editors that a
the eastern institution's name will be 1
applied by readers to Wesleyans in "
thei^ own territory. c

Princeton University?That freshmen

consider beauty the most essential attribute

and come to Princeton primarily for
an education are facts revealed in the
annual questionnaire submitted to the

In voting the Phi Beta Kappa Key
more desirable than a major athletic

North Carolina State College will

time every teacher will be asked to
takq the first ten minutes of his class
hour to discuss, the effects of drinking
on the individual and on society, if the
faculty council adopts the proposed
plan of J. E. Stroupe, sophomore
class president, who recently outlawed
liquor among the sophomore class.
If this plan does not meet with their
approval, Str'oupe implores the faculty
council to formulate a better plan of
co-operation, saying: "What we want
is 100 per cent backing from the
faculty in our fight to outlaw drinking
at N. C. State College."

SOMETHING NEW

A new sport has been introduced on
he Carolina Campus, known to the
otinger generation as aeroplane hopcotch.
The court consists of eight large
quares, arranged in the shape of an j
eroplane. The squares are numbered, and
lie object of the game is to throw a bit f
rock into the squares, then hop in and t
ct it '
The first game was begun by the wall
everal days ago by three co-eds, who
/ere soon joined by many of the opposite '
ex, and the game proceeded with much
lerriment.
Unless "Judge" suddenly decides that '
e doesn't want the walks scratched up,
r the faculty decides that it is undigni- \
ed, hopscotch threatens to become one
f the favorite winter sports of Carolina
tudents.

There is great demand for workers in
this field, according to E. E. Shumaker, J
president of the R. C. A.-Victor company. %
This Company has organized an Engineering

iuty is to keep a constant lookout for '4
promising students and train accepted caniidates
in right methods of thinking and
working. Men with new ideas in en- '
Sneering vision are needed by the radio
industry for discoveries and improve- '/'
uents, the company tells college students.
Every student entering the employ of " %
company is required to spend two
nonths in each of six different sections
before he is given a permanent assignment.
Classes are also held throughout
he year which allow for discussions and
Jxchange of ideas.
