On Superstitions

Superstitions in regard to
household matters in eastern
North Carolina were reviewed
by Mrs. Paul Green before a
meeting of the Association of
University Women Tuesday eve
ming at eight O'Clock in the par
ish house.
Mrs Green presented d col
lection Of superstitions that she
had gathered by reading and
travel in the eastern part Of the
state Though they were not
grouped by any special manner
they came under the general
heads Of cooking, cleaning,
planting, cats, children and
birth.
Mrs Green mentioned the old
superstitions Of walking light
" around the kitchen when i
cake was in the oven or It
would fall Of not sweeping be-
fore sunrise or all good luck
would be swept out; of not
Ianting on bug days and
Good Fridayy or crops would
fail Of buttsring d cats paws
TO keep it in new neighbor-
hood; and Of the father burn
ing up all his hats when the first
child was born to give it d good
start in life. She pointed out
that most superstitions were
based on good common sense and
were not as silly as they sound

IN his letter to Governor
Gardner, which appeared in full
in this newspaper last week
Howard Mumford Jones, former
ly a professor in English at the
University, cleverly told his rea-
sons for leaving here and also
presented his views regarding
the proposed salary cuts in
North Carolina. Whether Gov
ernor Gardner follows any or ali
Of these suggestions and Is
thereby moved to withhold ac-
ton as to salary reduction Of
state employees, and leSsenlng
the weight of many folks pay
envelopes, will depend largely
upon members of the state legis-
lature as a whole, whom we con-
slider sufficiently intelligent and
capable to act wisely; but for
your interest and courtesy, Mr..
Jones, we thank youl
1t is most evident that unless
our legislators take hold, ana
lyze, and act according to wise
conviction, the standard of the
University of North Carolina
will be lowered. That was clear
ly emphasized in President
Frank Graham's report to the
legislature in speaking of men,
bers Of the faculty who have
gone as a result Of last years
cut. He said in part: ''This de-
struction of quality, these losses
in men and appropriation, shook
the morale of our faculty last
spring. Entirely too much time
of the faculty was misdirected
from the main business Of study
and teaching to the perplexities
of cruel adjustments. Without
the cooperation Of all all the men
and women, teachers and office
force, who have not spared
themselves to see the University
through these critical months,

who have subscribed to this
fund and who have assisted in
the work.

self for their splendid assistance,
without which the wonderful
success Of the call for funds
would not have been possible.

MaennerchOr Concert
Newly Formed Musical Club Presents
FIRST Program

The University Maennerchor,
a eWly-formed musical club,
gave its first concert in the music
auditorium Monday night. This
group was organized in order to
embrace a wider field than that
afforded by the Glee Club, which
is limited to thirty members. 1t
also gives an opportunity for
greater mass effects. At present
it has about seventy-fve men,
bers.
Prof. H. S. Dyer directed the
concert. The program followed
closely the one given by the Glee
Club at Hollins College, Vir-
ginia, Saturday night. 1t con-
sisted of sacred songs, songs of
north Europe, French, and
American songs. Harry l..
Knox played the accompani-
ments on the piano and also
rendered three solos which were
enthusiastically received by the
audience. Arthur H. Fleming,
Jr.. baritone soloist, sang the
solo parts to Thanksgiving" and
"Dreamworld". The first song,
"Now Let Every Tongue Adore
Thee, was accompanied by both
piano and organ. The organ ac-
compartment was played by
