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." u. s. c. 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.

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." u. s. c DERRICK AND MARTIN . t READ PAPERS TO CLUB ( The regular meeting of the University History club was held on Thursday, December 11, in Room 7, Davis CoTlege, at 7:30 P.

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 s ??u. s. c.

In voting the Phi Beta Kappa Key more desirable than a major athletic letter by a vote of 330 to 228, the classmen of '34 reversed the decision made by the 1933 group last year. u. s. c. COLLEGE SEEKS TO HELPJPR0H1BITI0N Professors To Devote Part Of Each Period To Question Of Liquor ' . North Carolina State College will have a "prohibition day" soon at which 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." u. s. c.

STUDENTS START SOMETHING NEW - f 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. o. s. c.
