Association Of University
Professors Makes Careful
Study Of System
s .1
Is any one method best for all college
teachers in all subjects at all
times?
What are the relative merits of the
lecture method and the laboratory or
experimental method?
Is there any place in higher institutions
for the practice or drill method?
Is the personality of the instructor
as well as the type of subject matter
inextricably bound up with the method
of presentation?
These are some of the questions
| to be stuaicd and answered by the
' American Association of University
professors who are making a careful
study of the methods of teaching now
employed in the colleges and means
for its improvement.
The organization, aided by 11,000
instructors, seeks to answer questions
frankly with the aim of eliminating
weaknesses and inefficiencies.
Special phases of the investigation
will be performed by some of these
members toho have been especially
active in the affairs of the organization
during the last few years.

U. S. 0. Professors Do Varied Research
Work During
Summer
Several of the University's professors
were engaged in literary pursuits
of various types during the summer.
Professor H. C. Davis spent a great
deal of the summer doing research
work in the library of Congress in
Washington. He is particularly interested
in the war record of Edgar
Allan Poe.
Dr. S. M. Derrick's book on county
government, a basic study in this field,
will appear from the North Carolina
University press in November. Dr.
Derrick has done considerable research
work in preparing the book,
having spent the entire summer delving
into the study of county government.
Dr. E. L. Green, of the ancient
language department, is working on
a history of Richland County.
Mrs. Walter E. Rowe spent the
summer in Berlin in preparation for
her work at Columbia Cbllege. Mrs.
Rowe is a very capable teacher and
has an enthusiastic group of German
students at Columbia College.

Band Plays
For Game
Forty U. S. 0. Bandsmen Play
At Sewanee Game Day
After Registration
The University Band came out in
full force last Saturday at the Sewanee
game in spite of the fact that registration
had been completed only the
day before. Forty men, half of whom
were new men stepped out on the
field and surprised the crowd by rendering
Sewanee's Alma Mater song in
salute tox the opposition and also a
program of inspiring marches during
the game.
According to Dean Olson, about
fifty men are trying out for places in
the Band this year and as there are
instruments and uniforms for only
forty men, competition will be keen
in the various sections.
The football trips this year are
especially attractive. The first out of
town engagement will be the Wake
Fore3t game at Charlotte a week from
Saturday and the next week will be
filled with practice in drilling and the
letter formations which were used last
year.
A new drum major is to be selected
this year as Piute Wimberly who acted
last year is now Director of Wentworth
Academy Band in Kansas City,
one of the highest ranking Military
Academies in the United States.

Bold Yeggmen
Rob N. C. State
A few fingerprints are the only clues
police have to the yeggs who robbed
the treasurer's office at N. C. State
College Sunday and escaped with $8,000.
Police are not sure whether the
fingerprints are those of the robbers
or of some employee who used the
safe prior to the robbery. A check
is still being made. . .
The thieves entered the office by
cutting a screen and raising the window.
The safe was opened with tools
and without the use of explositives.
The money comprised $7,000 in
registration fees and $1,000 in receipts
from the Appalachian-N. C. State football
game Saturday. About $500 was
overlooked by the robbers.
Police expressed belief the robbery
was executed by professional crooks.
Dr. E. C. Brooks, president of the
college said the office was partly
covered by insurance.

Glee Club Will \

Cuban Jaunt Planned !
Sixty Try For Places; Jazz Or- :
chestra Will Be Organized To
* Accompany Club
With an unusually promising array
of talent, the University, of South ,
Carolina Glee Club bids fair to eclipse
all its former triumphs, and they arc '
many, during the current season. 1
About sixty boys are trying out for \
the club, and of this number approxi- 1
matcly thirty will be so fortunate as 1
to make the grade. '
"I am very encouraged over the
prospects", said Maurice Mattison,
director of the club, today. "The 1
voices this year are of unusual quality '
and if they can be blended as I hope
the effect should be most gratifying." *
Plans are now on foot to organize a 1
jazz orchestra which will accompany '
the club and help defray the expenses *
of the trips by rendering concerts of 1
a popular nature and playing for j
dances here and there. Boys who can 1
sing and who can also perform on
musical instruments are especially
urged to get in tou<ph with Mr. Mattison
and arrange to try out for the
club. 1
Plans for the Cubarf jaunt which
the songsters will take are shaping
up slowly because of the difficulty
entailed in booking the desired pas- ,
sage from Miami to the Cuban capitol. .
A concert has been booked in Havana
for December 18 and it was hoped
that the difficulties could be ironed
out and the appearance made as scheduled.

Lab Conducts
Press Bureau
The University Press bureau will
be conducted this year by the journalism
laboratory cla.'-s, No. 35, it was
announced by J. Rion McKissick, dean
of the school of journalism, yesterday.
The bureau organized last year, has
its objective the spreading of items
about the University and university
affairs throughout the State. This is
accomplished by sending press dispatches
to the various newspapers of
the state.
Instead of performing the usual exercises
in the lab manual, the students
of^jo.urnalism 35 will be given actual
piactice in news gathering and writing,
thereby killing two birds with one
stone.

Small Ohio Quaker School Untouched'By
The Latest Educational
Fads
Few American schools have undergone
as few changes in student activity
or clung to tradition so tenaciously
as Olney college, a small Quaker institution
located at Barnesville, Ohio.
Ever since the school's founding in
1876, Olney students have plodded
along the same course of recreational
and social enjoyments as their predecessors,
disdaining new movements in
collegiate activity.
A co-educational school, Olney has
yet to schedule its first prom or arrange
its first inter-collegiate athletic
schedule since students here neither
dance nor accept sports on an equal
rating with their curriculum.
Smoking is unknown among male
students just as cosmetics are alien
to the co-eds. Jaz music is spurned;
petting parties unheard of and drinking
entirely beyond the realm of Olney
comprehension.
Athletics are carried on but only in
a restricted form. Contests between
classes provide the "big moments" on
the sportive calendar.
But despite the dearth of activity
which normally attends American college
life, Olney students strike the appearance
of being more contented.
Residing as one large family, students
and faculty mingle with an affection
that i9 rare beyond the family hearth.
With the exception of Urbana college,
Urbana, O., which has less than
50 students, Olney probably is the
smallest college in the country.
