Before the Open Forum, January 11,
Mr. Raymond Robbing appealed to the
large audience for -a condemnation of
war and the force method of settling
disputes. Under the title, "The Out-lawry
of War," the speaker made a
strong emotional appeal, and aroused
horror of war and dread of future con-flict.
He convinced the people of the
necessity for the abolition of war, and
gave as his solution the making of war
illegal.
Mr. John Haynes Holmes, Judge
Florence Allen, who addressed the col-lege
community in 1924, and many
others besides Mr. Robbins, are giving
their time to speaking for outlawry of
war.
"War," the speaker said, "Is the prod-uct
of the war system. We will have
war as long as this system is legal. The
situation of war overthrows law, order,
and justice. The kaiser could not be
tried, because he had not broken any
existing law."
"Any institution, no matter how an-cient,
can be outlawed," Mr. Robbins
■aid, "by law which is supported by the
people. War can be declared Illegal,
Just as have been duelling, slavery,
piracy, and the liquor traffic."
As steps toward the outlawry of war,
Mr. Robbins said, "Jurisdiction of the
World Court must be made compulsory
of action and acceptance. International
law must be codified and enforced. War
most be outlawed by the nations on
their statutes, and in the opinion of
(heir people."
"Legislation of all the nations of the
world outlawlaa*— is*«Tnfc)BArr,""the
speaker declared. "Force and violence,
or public law in the courts, are the only
two ways of settling disputes, whether
Individual, national, or international
In scope. International law, the speak-er
emphasised, "must be codified on a
basis of peace and right Aa a neces-sary
part of this plan, the World Court
must have permanent Jurisdiction for
all cases of international dispute. In-ternational
citizenship must be or-ganised
under law and order.
"The cause of liberation of men from
toe oppression of war Is a supreme
work."

"Superintendents will expect you to
know yonr subject matter, and to have
a philosophy of education," asserted
Mr. O. P. Clutts, of the Education de-partment
at chapel on Monday and
Tuesday In his discussion of "What
Seniors May Expect When They Begin
to Teach."
The speaker said that all teachers
were "beginning teachers." He spoke
In particular to the "new teachers." Mr.
Clutts told his audience that certain
tilings would confront "the new teach-er."
"First of all, your knowledge of
the subject matter may help or hinder
you. Some teachers become so en-grossed
in their major subject that they
fall to reach the level of the boys and
girls," pointed out the speaker. "Do
not become so great a scholar that you
cannot interest the students," be ad-vised.
In the second place, Mr. Clutts de-clared
that a teacher must know how
to "strut her stuff." She should give
the Impression of knowing a great deal
and be able to back that impression
up, he said.
"The new teacher Is likely to put a
premium on 'not doing anything,'" said
Mr. Clutts. The way to solve moat dis-cipline
problems, in his opinion, is by
a motivated program of work.
Some time ago, 1,800 superintendents
met and fedded on these five most lm-

Those who attended the regular
meeting of the Botany club, Friday
night learned that they have among
their number several research workers
who are working toward something
which will, perhaps, be a revelation to
the botanical world.
At the opening of the program, Re-becca
Ward and Luclle Sbarpe gave
reports of work which they did last
spring on "Polyembryony and Abnor-
. malltles in Rye and Oats," showing
slides and plauta to illustrate their
findings. Vivian Kearns then reviewed
quite vividly the study she has done
on "Dormancy in Shepherds Purse."
Following these reports, Mr. Hall
and Dr. Yocum, of the department, re-lated
some of their experiences at the
A. A. 8. meeting in Philadelphia,
Christmas, which they considered of
particular interest to the club.

The Phi Delta Theta fraternity house
at Carolina was almost completely de-stroyed
by Are last Thursday, January
18. There were no injuries, but many
of the hoys lost their clothing and other

around $10,000, partly covered by in-surance,.
The chapter plans to rebuild

Rev. M. S Hlnchle, of the Asheboro
Street Friends Church, will be the
speaker at Vespers on February 13.
This popular Greensboro minister will
have as his subject, "And the Truth
Shall Make Yon Free."
Mr. Henry Fucbs, of the music de-partment,
made a very interesting talk
on the subject of "Irish Music" to the
freshmen at chapel on Thursday.
"The Irish people are inherently
mystical and musical," began the speak-er.
"Their sorrows, due to continued
political oppression, burst forth Into
song." They have been musical since
primitive times, according to Mr. Fucbs.
He pointed out the stages of the de-velopment
of the folk music. Even be-fore
the invasion of the Normans, the
following musical instruments ogisted
in Ireland, stated the speaker: two
species of the harp, for which the coun-try
Is famous, primitive trumpets,
stringed Instruments, and horns.
During the time of Cromwell, legal
enactments were made against the
traveling bards, and the Irish music
suffered a lapse, went on Mr. Fucbs.
In 750 a meeting of bards was held in
Ireland for the purpose of reviving the
old melodies and folk-songs. Aa a re-sult
three volumes of Irish melodies
were collected, affirmed the speaker.
At the chapel hour on next Thursday
Mr. Fuchs will play a number of Irish
melodies.

next spring. The dates of performance

Five of the most Important legisla-tive
measures now supported by the
North Carolina women were summar-ized
and discussed by Mrs. Palmer Jer-man,
a prominent club-woman of Ral-eigh,
at a supper under the auspices
of the League of Women Voters given at
tlie Country club on- Friday night at 7
o'clock before more than 2D0 local
women representatives from the League
of Women Voters, the American Asso-ciation
of University Women, the state
Parent-Teachers Association, the city
Parent-Teachers association, and the
North Carolina College Junior League
of Women Voters.
MM. Jerman quickly and clearly pre-sented
the five measures which Include
the Australian ballot for the state of
North Carolina, the establishment of a
farm colony for aged delinquent women,
a school for wayward negro girls, a
legal announcement two weeks before
a marriage be permitted, and a better
child labor law.
Although the measure for introduc-ing
the Australian ballot has met much
opposition, the speaker believes that
its prospects of being carried are
brighter than ever this year.
A very stirring appeal was made for
the women to consider the condition
which existed last year in North Caro-lina
for delinquent women. She stated
that there were 666 women In county
Jails who should have been in farm col-onies
where they could have received
medical treatment and the opportunity
to learn trades. There Is a crying need,
she continued, for a school for delin-quent
negro girls. A little progress
toward the realization of the latter
measure has been made by the neZlrj
women's club of the state.
f
Mrs. Jerman believes that the en-forcement
of the measure to announce
a marriage two weeks before -a wed-ding
takes place will aid in the preven-tion
of many hasty and incompatible
marriages; and, In this way, decrease
the alarming growth of the divorce evil.
The most lenient labor law in any of
the southern states Is found in North
Carolina, she pointed out. The chil-dren
between 14 and 16 years work 11
hours when they should not work more
than eight hours.
At the end of the address, at Mrs.
Sternberger'8 motion, the women voted
to endorse these measures which had
been presented by Mrs. Jerman:
NOTICE
Due to the fact-that next week is
examination week there will not be
an Issue of "The Carolinian'* until
February 9.

INITIATIONS TO BE NEXT MEETING
"Antiseptics" was the subject of an
interesting lecture which Miss Florence
Schaeffer, of the department, delivered
before the Chemistry club at its regu-lar
meeting Thursday night
Miss Schaeffer has, for the past two
years, done research work in the field
of chemistry, preparing a colorless,
odorless antiseptic, for which there has
been a great need for many years. The
main part of her lecture was spent In
recounting, very vividly and humor-ously,
the trials and Joys through
which she, as a research worker,
passed, explaining in general the meth-od
by which the antiseptic was pre-pared.
The speaker then told some-thing
of other antiseptics which have
been and are now in use.
In a short business meeting an an-nouncement
was made to the effect that
initiation of new members will be held
at the next regular meeting, February

U. N. C. Has Fencing Clab
It* is interesting to note that a fenc-ing
dub has been organised at the Uni-versity
of North Carolina, and in doing
this the University is keeping astride
with Duke, N. a State, Davidson, U.
of 8. C, Furman, and College of
Charleston, all of which are members
of the Southern Intercollegiate Fenc-ing
Association. To this number may
bo Joined the U. of Va.. College of Rich-mond,
V. M. L, and several others.
There has been-an increasing Interest
in fencing since 1000, and many of the
colleges and universities boast of such
dob.
Quite a bit of amazement was ex-pressed
by pedestrians on the campus
Saturday night as 16 girls, pledged to
the Zoology Field club, equipped with
flashlight,- bottles, insect net, and "First
Aid* kit, hiked toward Mclver to be
taken through the ordeals preliminary
to becoming members of the club.
After the business meeting, In which
Eleanor Barton, president, welcomed
new members, and Mr. Shaftesbury re-viewed
the history and aims of the
club, the neophytes were blindfolded and
instructed to follow a leader who took
them on perhaps the most unique field
trip they had ever experienced. On re-turning
to the building they were asked
to make reports dn. thdr observations
during the trip. Following this, both
the old and new members were *hril!ed
with quite a real Istio mock operation,
performed on one of the new members.
Another enjoyable feature of the eve-ning's
program was ghost stories told
during the serving of a delicious salad
course.
The new members admitted included
Miss Coldwell and Mr. Hulpieu,
"Mickey" Brown, Ha Mae Beat, Kate
Coble, Lucy Grumpier, Josephine
Kluttx, Sara Hampton, Dorris Lee,
Katherine Linn, Cynthia Reeves, Bl-berta

SPIRIT AT MEETING CONTAGIOUS
The vesper hour on Sunday was de-voted
to reports from the representa-tives
who attended the Students' con-ference
recently held in Milwaukee.
Glenn Yarborougb talked on "The
Purposes and Hopes of the Confer-ence."
"The aim of the conference,"
said the speaker, "was to do more than
merely find out what was wrong with
the world—to offer solutions as well."
The question of the conference, accord-ing
to the speaker, was: "What re-sources
has Jesus Christ for life in
this world?" 8he discussed the mag-nitude
and possibilities of such a con-ference.
Fodle Bole spoke on "The Men and
Their Messages." "We teit ourselves
humble when addressed by these great
speakers whom we knew we could
trust" There were pacifists, ministers,
and other Intelligent thinkers who dis-cussed
the great problems of the time,
according to the speaker.
Ernestine Welton gave some Interest-ing
sidelights on the meeting. She dis-cussed
what was to her the most vital
and important part of the conference,
the personal contacts. "It was like a
cross-section of human nature and
ideas," she said.
Ruth Cllnard conducted the devo-tionals
and said some interesting things
in regard to the conference.

UNUSUAL STUDENTS
Working girls in Durham, North

shame the efforts of the average uni-versity
freshman. They read Greek
plays in translation not for three
necessary credits in Classics A bat for

says Dr. L. B. Wright, Professor of
English at the University of North
Carolina, who, in co-operation with the
University Extension Department, gives
weekly classes in English for the Dur-ham
working girls.
"The remarkable thing about the
reading of this group," Dr. Wright de-clares,
"is the quality of the material
read by the girls before beginning their
work in English in this course. None
of the girls have ever had mere than
two years high school and one or two
have never had as much as sixth grade
work. Most of the group, however,

AGAIN, THE FUNDAMENTALISTS
The late William Jennings Bryan's
soul goes marching on in the erusade
of fundamentalists against evolution.
Fireworks of oratory flash in the sky.
Eastern and Western, and rumblings
are to be hoard of cannons being
wheeled into position for valiant as-saults
on legislators.
Kansas is once more battleground for
a Cause. Robert H. ffingnam, profes-sor
of Zoology of Washburn College
predicts in the Washburn Review that,
at the next State Legislature a bill will
be introduced to prohibit the teaching
of evolution in the state schools, in-cluding
grade, high schools and state
collages.
