Intervene sections of the city, converting it into a Japanese port. In her desire to accomplish this end she was partly motivated by a feeling of resentment because China has never established a Japanese concession in the city as she has for the other nations. The Chinese are fighting with their backs to the wall and will not surrender Shanghai. The Japs cannot gracefully withdraw now and will continue their bluff until forced to come to terms by the League of Nations. Now as to the present status of Manchuria. In theory it still belongs to China, but actually it is under the control of the Japanese military government. I believe that in the final terms of arbitration Japan will be al- I lowed to retain Manchuria. J The vandalism of the Japanese was I clearly demonstrated in their destruction of the Commercial Press. This printing establishment on the outskirts of Shanghai was the largest in the world and printed 75% of the Chinese text books. Very serious indeed," Rawlinson concluded, "was the destruction of many priceless old Chinese manuscripts." Constantine P. Olenick The present Sino-Japanese situa-1 tion," Olenick opined, "is due to two fundamental causes: The economic and imperialistic jealousy between the two nations, especially on Japan s part, and the intense race hatred existing between these two representatives of the Mongolian race. This hatred, which is a vital factor, is, however, subordinate to the economic factors. Japan has a population of sixty-1 five million people with insufficient area and resources to support this population. She must expand. China has vast areas and her resources are I superior in every way to those of I Japan. Manchuria, alome, with her vast coal and mineral resources has an area as great as that of Japan. Looking back over the history of the I two nations, we see that trouble in the strife for possessions has been of frequent occurrence. Japan followed much the same tactics she is now pur-1 suing in the taking of Formosa and Korea from China. "It is true, however that the inhabitants of Formosa were benefitted by Japanese rule, which cleared up the banditry of the territory. Should I such results be produced by Japanese rule in Manchuria, it might actually be a good thing for the Manchurian people for Japan to acquire permanent control of the province. If the opendoor policy among nations of the East is to be maintained, I favor letting the Japanese remain in Manchuria. "The League of Nations will settle the present situation. China will never I officially declare war. This is not the cause for the next great war, but is merely a purely local difficulty be- I tween the two nations involved and provides no cause for undue excitement. It is my opinion that after the final settlement, Manchuria will be an independent state under the protectorate of Japan/' u. ?. o.

Student Slumber Of T Wrecke The eleven o'clock quiet of tenement two was suddenly broken by the shrill pealing of the telephone. No one moved to answer it. The clamor continued for some five minutes before anyone answered it. The tenement end of the conversation is negligible. The other end is far more interesting and is as follows: "Hello, Tenement two, may I speak to Dennis ? He's not there? Well, let me speak to Bob . You say he broke his leg and they had to shoot him?" "Well, who are you? Is that so? Someone told me something you said. I'm not gonna tell you. Oh, all right, he said you said you didn't know me. That's rtot so and you know it, 'cause I've called you up lots of times before. You don't remember me? This is Obie .

Dad hasn't sent my check and I haven't a cent." This great slump in the finances of the Carolina scholars will be fatal to the hopes of many of the sorority and I fraternity pledges. Few of those who 1 became affiliated with these organizations last fall will become members, the price of initiation being prohibitive to most. But, even in the face of these financial stringencies, the spirit of Carolina still flourishes and the students continue gaily on their chosen ways.

T&ber Writes On Quakes Professor Of Geology Tells Interestingly Of Santiago Quake In Article (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tific organizations in the United States and it is considered a major honor to be asked to write an article for them. Dr. Taber was at Guantanamo Naval Station near Santiago during the recent earthquake and flew over the stricken city the morning of the quake. He is one of the leading authorities on earthquakes of the region and has just surveyed the damage caused by the'earthquake. "A very deep trough in the ocean's , bed, callcd Bartlett Deep, lies between , Cuba and Jamaica and on both sides of it earthquakes occur along the precipitous slopes that descend into it. ] It would require detailed work to locate the fault along which the recent : earthquake originated and since the shock was not of very high intensity there may be no visible displacement at the surface," Dr. Taber writes. "The earthquake has been followed , by many aftershocks. I counted j twenty during the half hour following , the initial - disturbance which lasted i over ope minute. More aftershocks are to be expected but they will prob- | ably decrease gradually in frequency < and intensity. ( "A hasty examination of the city i since shows many buildings cracked, some dangerously, but very few walls I have been thrown down, except nar- i row partitioning walls. "The damage to property has been ! estimated at about five million dol- ' lars. The effect was greatest near the 1 waterfront. It is fortunate that the ' earthquake occurred at night for had 1 it come when the streets were thronged with people the loss of life ' would have been much greater. I "No deaths have been reported from ' points out of Santiago. Some slight \ damage has been reported from Bay- ( amo and other towns, but practically all the damage was confined to Santi- j ago, where nine were killed and three injured. "While it is impossible to predict, I it is unlikely that the damage will be i greatly increased by any shocks oc- I curring in the near future," the geol- 1 ogist writes iti conclusion. TJ. fl.

My main objection to lengthening the period is the additional cost such a change would inflict on the fraternity." Louis Rosen, president of Phi B?t? Delta: "It would be decidedly better for the rushee, and equally as good for the fraternity. By this extension of rushing period the chapter would be surer of getting men suitable for their group." Frampton Harper, vice-president of Phi Kappa Sigma: "I believe it is t good idea; it will enable new men to become familiar with the fraternities/ and they will have longer to deliber- ! ate before joining one." Clarence Meeks, president of Phi Pi Phi: "I do not like it. It would be of advantage to the freshmen, but not to the fraternity if they could not \ pledge a new man until the second 1 semester. If there was a rule allow- ' ing the man to be initiated the same' | semester he was pledged, I would like it." Wilbur Smith, president of PH Sigma Kappa: "The proposed new j method of rushing would more or less hurt the fraternity financially, and for that reason I am not in favor of it" Troy Stokes, president of Pi Kappa Alpha: "I am .in favor of the new plan j for rushing. In some colleges they allow a year to elapse before a man is 1 pledged. However, one semester is i long enough. It has many good < points and equally as many objections, but I think it would be a good idea, ana would like to see it put into effect." Frank Bostick, president of Pi Kappa Phi: "I do not approve of the new plan. It would mean stretching the rushing season over too long a ' period, and it would be more expensive in the long run." Bill Friar, president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon: "Rushing is overemphasized ' on this campus. The new plan won Id do away with a great deal of this feeling, so I would gladly support it. 1 suggest there be no rushing for the first two months of each semester in I which length of time the freshmen can look over the fraternities and rush them in a mild sense of the word. I do not like the present system of rushing." James Morrison, president of Sigma Chi: "The new plan would be splendid. Tor many years I have advocated such a movement. It will save the man from a possible breaking of his pledge if he should prove j unworthy of the pledge pin. It is indeed good both for the fraternity and the man." Eugene Cathcart, president of ; Sigma Nu: "I heartily support the new plan. Freshmen are usually ignorant of fraternities when they first enter the University, and it will give them i good chance to know them, and will jnable them to decide for themselves just wh/t fraternity they would like to be a member of." James L. Moss, president of Sigma Phi Epsilon: "I am in favor of a delayed pledge day. The freshman is-J too utterly unaware of just what fraternity life is, and the new plan would help him greatly in this manner." . j Gene Rankin, president of Kappa Alpha: "The present system cannot be improved upon. I believe that the new plan would be too expensiv? s from the fraternity point of view; ft < it is kept as at present, there will be 'j no financial strain on the fraternity." Sidney D. Abrams, president of Phi Epsilon Pi: "I think a change to I the new plan would be of great benefit to the fraternity, and would giv? the freshmen a longer period in which to decide what fraternity he wishes to ioin."
