Means Wins ( Contest J 1 he Euphradian oratorical contest Tuesday night was won by David Means, who spoke on "The Nations Lite Insurance." raking the stand that the best way to prevent war is to prepare for it, Means stated "Gentlemen, all good is founded on force; all justice is founded on force.

He went on to describe the causes that other nations have for ill-will against the United States and to cite the failure of present peace machinery. Woe be unto the conquered" was the theme of his arguments and Might makes right" was the basis of his arguments. He closed with an eloquent plea for more adequate national defence.

Want Football Men Fail To Enter Block C Club Stars Refuse Initiation Sophomores Decline To Undergo Strenous Ordeal; No Action Taken Yet Several sophomore members, of the Carolina varsity football team, who earned their letters last fall, refused to be initiated into tile Block C Club last Tuesday night, according to authoritative resources. The club held a meeting that night for the purpose of initiating new members, and only Charlie Bushaw, cheerleader, attended and was taken into the organization. According to the president, definite action has not been taken yet, pending a thorough investigation of the clubs' constitution and by-laws. Whether or not the players who refused the initiation will be allowed to wear gold footballs will also be threshed out in the near future. For the first time in several years, footballs were presented to those who earned the varsity letter in the sport. The Block C Club, whose membership is composed of leading athletes on the campus, is one of the outstanding and most influential organizations on the campus. Between 00 and 70 men on the campus comprise its constituency. Oratorical rn Euphradian Faculty Reduces Semester Hours Required Credits For Graduation Changed From 127 To 124 At Faculty Meeting The number of semester hours of work required for graduation was reduced from 127 to 124 at a faculty meeting January 0. The faculty has not yet decided when the change will go into effect. The principal reason for the change, Dean Baker said, was the difficulty of arranging science courses which carry four credits per semester. As most courses carry only three courses per semester, students find it hard to fit science courses into their schedules, and in many cases arc forced to take courses they do not want or need. Since 124 is a multiple of four as well as of three, this difficulty will be eliminated. The standard number of hours .required by the American Association of Colleges and Universities is 120, so the changc will not affect the University's standing, said Dean Baker. The extra four points are for physical education. < I / arolini Be Yoi Work on the sidewalks has been t haustion of funds thus far raised.
