"Please look out for wet paint" a monishes an inconspicuous warnii on the Marshal's blackboard. And ; over the campus signs proclaim "\V Paint." If you get too close to t edges of the corridors or the stairs, blob of paint on your sleeve and marred patch on the wall proclaii the fact that you have made a in step. Not only have you smear your suit, but you have harmed good paint job. Our buildings have been undergoii a renovation. Many men have exert concentrated effort, and have work toward the goal of a better-lookii campus. The old loose plaster has, many instances, been chipped off, ai the dirty paint removed so that a ne surface might be laid on. Skillf painters have been employed, and tl greatest care is being taken to alio the wet paint to dry and harden in a lasting surface. Be careful! Hatv off! Don't mar the fresh work! Underneath the surface renovatic there has been an even more si nificant change. Within the painti walls reside students whose cnti economic foundation has bee changed, whose money has come fro new sources, whose dollar has tak( a new value. Outside those walls tl whole society of the nation h; changed. The worker has gained new significance, a new power. F; beyond the girth .of those wall changes have been instituted that r quire the most minute, most skillf supervision, least a disturbance of the cause the permanent frustration < their well-laid plans. The world has been given a 11c coat of paint, andN it is still wet. we put our hands to it, we harm on selves and the new surface. The pla tic state has passed long ago. Ameri< has been formed in the best possib manner. But she has shown that si needed paint, and it has been applic generously, so generously that tl average man who attempts to put h hand in the work will only get h fingers sticky. So, hands off! Let tl government finish its job, and then v can criticize the administration. ?Patkonizk Our Ai>vkhtiskus?

Living all and working under pressure with a trcc* inendous expenditure of energy, life for he , .. us grows daily more urgent, more a complex, and perhaps more discordant. a In the future certainly the 1930-1940 , )1S decadc will be looked back upon as a period of criticism, unrest, and dis- , L satisfaction?undoubtedly, also, one of , a disillusionment?a period in which new ; aims were being sought and new ; !18 beginnings were astir.

I What is a "design for living?" A t design is a mental conception of someto thing to be done. A visual design is , js the organization of an idea of a visual , nature so that it may be executed. It is the practice of organizing various . 511 elements to produce a desired result. < ? Pertaining to life, it is deciding what ( you really want of life, and then with i rc characteristic courage and will carry j II it through. m 1 The American problem is one of ( changing life from a "business" to a x more lasting, carefully scrutinized art. f ?Los Angeles Junior Collegian. j ?Pathom/k Of it AnvKUTisKRS? , ir 1 s' MANNERS eul Consider the Professor, m He toils and he spins,?yarns, af Consider the Professor.

Dot Wilson, because she is so resolutely pleasant. Future Foretold Archibald Beattie scoffs no more. His belief in the occult has been firmly established. Archie recently went to see a rather putrid picture entitled "Bolero," but this was merely incidental. On the same program with the picture was the world-renowned master mind bearing the alarming name of Sinnet. (No, the bathing beauty king's cognomen was Sennet.) Well, Archie sneered an embryo legal sneer when in the lobby of the theatre lie was requested to write a question for the mystic to answer. Scornfully he wrote, pocketed his question and settled down in the theatre to watch Miss Rand perform lier disappointing fan dance. Then Sinnet came 011 the scene. Mr. Beattie paid that gentleman little attention, lie was puzzling over liow Miss Rand manipulated her fans >0 adroitly, when all at once he heard Sinnet calling his name. "Beattie, Archie Beattie," said Sinnet sonorjusly. , Mr. Beattie jumped precepively. "Here," he murmured feebly. "You are studying law at the Uni- 1 /crsity," said Sinnet, "Your father's lame is Archie, too; in fact, you're a -hip off the old block." The audience littered rudely. Sinnet continued, 1 'You will make a great success as a 1 :riminal lawyer. Between the ages of orty-fivc and fifty you will be famous n criminal circles." The audience was 1 11-bred again.

The Clariosophic Society last week voted in favor of loaning the pictures of Judges Butler and Petrigru to the Law School, but made its loan contingent on a contract to be drawn up and voted upon at its next meeting. J. Wiley Brown was made chairman of the contract committee. Brown, who first made the request in behalf of the Law School, read his contract of loan to the Society Tuesday night, but was met by immediate opposition. "These pictures are the property of the Clariosophians who have passed 011, of those gathered here in this hall, and the heritage of those yet to come," said R. J. Foster, who assumed the impromtu role of opposition leader. ?Patiio.vizk Ouh Advkhtiskhs? University of N. C. Is Crushed By Birds (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) The State quintet fought hard in the second half, but the Gamecocks went on a scoring spree which garnered ten points for them before the State quintet could catch their breath. This ten point margin was the difference between victory and defeat for the South Carolina outfit, as State made a determined rally in the second half, which threatened to knot the score. The feature of the game was the calm manner in which the Gamecocks made their foul shots good, 15 out of 16 shots from the foul strip. Rex, of State, led the scoring for the evening with 14 points, Bennie Tompkins coming close on his heels with 10. The Gamecocks chalked up their second victory of their North Carolina invasion by outplaying and outfighting 1 game Duke quintet. The game was again marked by the swiftness of the play and the score at the end of the lialf was 13 to 12 in the Gamecock's iavor. Henderson and Freddie Tompkins led the Gamecocks to victory by their sterling play. The game was by far the most thrilling played on the Duke :ourt this season.

If played, the game will be the only intersectional game of the season for the South Carolina aggregation. Meanwhile arrangements for next year's schedule are being made and an attempt is being made to schedule as many conference opponents as possible. Dr. Foster has written to all members of the conference and responses arc already coming in. It is probable that the situation will be thoroughly discussed at the meeting this week-end and a more versatil schedule for next year will be arranged. ?Patroxi'/.e Our Aovbhtibkhs?

It will then go into free conference and will be reported back to the two houses where its final passage will take place. Last year the University was granted $312,000 for the 18 months' period necessitated by the change from the calendar to the accepted fiscal year basis. This amount represented an approximate appropriation of $208,000 annually. If the increase granted by the Senate is allowed to hold it will represent and actual cut of $8,000 for the year, or a cut of 3.8 per cent, over the amount granted last session. ?>ATHOXI/.B Adveiitiberh G-amecock Quint Wins From Farmer Five Closing their home season Carolina's baskctccrs won both of a two game scries with Clemson last week 42 to 17 and 41 to 18.
