In his final We'll lecture last
Saturday night Harold J. Laski,
the British political scientist,
paid his respects to experts. His
idea was that experts were
necessary and useful, in their
fields, but that they should not
be permitted to determine poll

There were experts a-plenty In

them squirming and giving
vigorous, though mute, evidences
of disapproval. For example,
there was G.. T. Schwenning,

Taylor. The Taylor plan did in

A Statue of Sir Walter Raleigh

ing sketch of the great adven-
turer. We advise the reading of
the sketch complete. The limits
of space forbid the .reproduc-
ton of the whole in these
columns, but we quote a few pas
sages:
"Raleigh's aspects as a cour-
tier were so striking as to cause
the historian oftentimes to en-
phasize these to the exclusion of
other aspects more solid and inn
portant and so rich in variety
as to constitute this man per
haps the most representative eX-
ample of the many-sidedness
found in the Elizabeth age, the
most dynamic and varied epoch
in English history. For he
above all men else III that age
showed. on many lines, talent
and power. More than anyone
else he was both thinker and
man of action to a superlatlvt
degree. He did hundred
things any one of which would
entitle him to a place in history
Raleigh was like most of us
in that he enjoyed immensely the
acquisition of power that comes
through property. He was un-

CAMERON AVENUE
IS TO BE PAVED
Concrete Strip, Like Standard
State Highway. Will Be Laid
in Middle of Tkoroughfare
ENTIRE COST IS ASSESSED

A strip of concrete pavement
Is feet wide, fulfilling the speci-
tications for standard state
highways. is to be laid in the
middle of Cameron avenue from
the campus gate westward to
Matlett street. The end of the
pavement will be opposite the
old McCauley place. With H.
feet wide stretch of dirt on each
side. between the pavement and
the sidewalk. the street surface
will be like that of Franklin
street from the Presidents
House to the east end Of the VIII
lage.
The work will begin next
month and will be in progress
for about 80 days. Therefore,
the new pavement should be
open to traffic not later than
midsummer.
The project is result of
petition from the owners of land
and buildings along both sides
of Cameron avenue. and the en-
tire cost will bf assessed upon
the property.( In the last few
years the trAtfic has become
steadily heavier; automobiles
have cut ruts and holes into the
gravel roadway; and it has been
impracticable for the town gov
ernment, with its limited re-
sources. to keep the surface in
good condition.
Among the properties on this
stretch of Cameron avenue are
the Carolina Inn, the d. X. E..
Phi Gamma Delta. Kappa Alpha.
Zeta Psi. Kappa Sigma, Phi
Kappa Sigma, Chi Psi, and Del
Ia Psi fraternities, and the
homes of Clyde Eubanks, Miss
Alice Wilson, Bruce Strowd, J.
r. Dobbins, and Miss Sally
Davis.
Under the municipal finance
law enacted recently, the issue
of the towns bonds to the
amount of $1,000 for this i'm
provement Ito be repaid by the
property owners) has to be ap-
proved by the states local gov
ernment finance commission, and
Town Manager Foushee went
down to Raleigh day before yes
terday to get this approval.
The towns bonds (or note) will
be sold through the commission.

A Gift of Papyrus
Ancient Egyptian Treasure Bestowe ed
by Mr.. GilmOur of Wilmington

M. P. Gilmour of Wilmington,
"A member Of the senior class, has
given the University an ancient
papyrus brought back from
Egypt by his grandfather forty
years ago. Along with the papy-
rus he has also given scarab
(sacred beetle) Of faience, a
bronze mirror, and a piece Of
wood out of which is followed
a long mace-shaped compart-
ment.
Mr.. GilmOur. whose father is
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church of Wilmington, has be-
come an archaeological enthusi-
asst as the result of his studies
here under J. Penrose Harland.
The mystery of archaeology is
perhaps its chief charm, and in
order to get the perfect thrill
from the papyrus the professor
and the student have carefully
refrained from unrolling it and
seeing what is written inside.
They may find "book OF the
dead" or, again, they may find
an inventory of the household
effects Of Tut-ankh-amen, or di-
rections for treating a pharaoh's
camels for the foot-and-mouth
disease, or a report upon the
wheat crops on the Upper Nile.
Some day their curiosity will get
the best Of them and they will
unroll the papyrus. This paper
will then chronicle their dis
cOvery.

the costume of the period-with
