Dula is out of school this quarter. With the coming of hot weather and coatless students we find that we have one thing to be thankful for.

The order is to "tie up or get out." N. C. State College students cele brated St. ' Patrick's day in grand fashion.

The Tar Heel is carrying a col umn or more of comments from vari ous sources pertaining to the council student controversy which is to be settled this week. This reprinted ma terial is a small portion of what has been said in the press about the af fair' during the past ten days, but we are unable to carry more of it in this issue. We are giving part of our editorial space in' order that as many of the comments as possible may be printed. " " ' - The whole state at large is interest ed in the Human Relations Institute, which began Sunday and lasts through Friday. This Institute got off to an auspici ous start Sunday with large crowds at the Baptist, Methodist, Presby terian and Episcopal churches to hear addresses by notables who had been invited here to speak at the various sessions. Those who are in position to knoway that nothing of its kind has evtr been attempted in the South that can compare with the Human Relations Institute. Many eminent speakers from different parts of the United States and from as far off as and international relations, will bring India, who are specialists on inter racial relations, industrial relations, to the campus the results of their studies and experiments. The pur pose of the programs is to present the most important questions to the students, faculty men and visitors and to lead them to intelligent thinking and study along these lines. The suc cess of the Institute was guaranteed with the coming of ' such men as Kirby Page, W. L. Poteat, W. W. Alexander, Alva :W. Taylor, Herbert A. Gibbons, James W. Johnson, J. J. Cornelius,' James Myers, Fred Rindge, Arthur Rugh, E. M. Patterson, Josephus Daniels, and others. The coming of these two institutes during the first week of the spring quarter works well from the student point of view and it-hehooves every person on the campus to attend as many of the sessions as possible. CLIPPINGS What makes ' the excitement at Chapel Hill the more remarkable is that there appears to be no good half back among the suspended students.. Greensboro Daily News. THE TWO INSTITUTES The University and Chapel Hill are particularly fortunate this week in having the opportunity ta attend two institutes of ; outstanding im portance. The fourth - annual ' Dra matic Institute and third annual State Dramatic Tournament will be held Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. An elaborate program has been planned which should be of interest to many students, as well as residents of the town and nearby, towns nd . cities. It is bad enough when boys fall into bad practices at colleges but it is with out palliation when men taking speci al courses lead in gambline. Such men at the University, if guilty, should not be suspended. They should be expelled. . ' , Colleges and universities oueht to set an example in correct habits and in obedience to law.

CLARE in Greensboro Daily News. . CHANGING THE ISSUE The whole state is interested in the outcome of the suspension of students at the University on a charge of gam- UlZ 1 ' J " l . . ,, uuuK uuu unnKing. me ureenvule Reflector, observing that the students suspended are complaining of the methods employed to obtain the evi dence, says "their plea is another eas of the 'hit dog howling1." If the students were sruiltv of ram bling and drinking the sentences should stand. The effort to chants the issue from innocence or guilt to quibbling about how the testimony was botained, is the old nractice of relying on technicalities. The Reflector voices public sentiment in North Car olina when it says: "Gambling at colleges must cease if the institutions are to accomplish their purpose of properly training young men for the future." Tax payers are not willing to sup port any institution that tolerates gambling or drinking. If any students insist upon disobeying the rules of the institution and the laws of North Carolina they are not desired or need ed at the State University. News and Observer, i; DOSES NOW AND THEN According to reports carried in pa pers of the state last week thirteen students were suspended for the spring quarter by the student coun cil at the University of North Caro lina. The thirteen students were charged with the offense of gambling, I in the eyes of some a serious breach of the law- of the land as well as the law of universities, in the sight of others not so serious. That is not the question to consider here. The guilty parties, if they be proved guilty will suffer, but the student body of the university will suffer more. .. . This damage to the student group comes not because certain members of their body corporate have strayed from the right to the left, but because of the attitude that the student group has since assumed towards the mem bers chosen, by itself to regulate ill doing. It is as if a monarch would grant to his physician permission to cure the ills of his body, and, then on discovery of the method of salvation to be employed, revoke that permis sion. That courage to a rare degree is needed to face the truth we would be the last one to deny. That such a show down of condi tions at the Hill would come was to be expected by those keeping in touch with the political situation. The pres ent head of the student government, it is reputed, won in the elections of last year through a split, or rather a combination, of the fraternity poli tical groups. Being a non-fraternal, dark horse victor in the elections, Mr. Cheppell must have endeavored to be more straight laced in handling of affairs than the average administrator of student government dares to be; hence the trouble. The students themselves realize that something is wrong as is evidenced by the governmental convention call ed for a consideration of change of policy. Their efforts to clean up un wholesome conditions will" result in good one way or another, and ought to prevent the recurrence of a dead lock in the election of men to the Golden Fleece, and other organiza tions. In the mean time all of the noise that Mr. David Carroll's Drift wood column - roused seems to have been justified. As long as we or our neighbor col leges proceed to-elect men to admin ister medicine needed we ought at least be staunch enough of heart to be willing to submit to their findings. Until then the entire fabric of the principle of self government by' stu dents or by any other body of citi zens is full of holes that will stretch into yet larger ones under the pres sure of the wear and tear of daily use. Duke Chronicle. y CAROLINA'S REBELLION At the University of North Caro lina, 13 students have been suspended for gambling by the student-council, following repeated warnings by the president of the student body. An en raged group of students have demand ed that the action of the council, ih suspending violators of the student code, be referred to the student body, believing, perhaps, that the members of the student body will reverse the decision of the Council and permit the violators to remain in college. The demand for a setting aside' of the University's student-council decf sion is based principally on the belief that witnesses were coerced into giv ing evidence against the suspended students, and also that the punish ment inflicted by the council is too severe. To an outsider, who is unacquainted with the case beyond the reports ap pearing the student newspaper of the University, this demand by certain members of the Carolina student body is regrettable. . It can quite naturally result in only one of the two things; either a ratification of the council's action of a setting aside of its deci sionand in either instance the stu dent government is weakened, and, is the principal loser. - . The students of the University are called upon to either endorse gam bling or to endorse the action of their Council. Gambling is forbidden by LOST One Waltham .watch, initial C. E.

See for yourself FOISTER'S Chapel Hill N. C. the laws of the Carolina student gov ernment association, repeated warn ings have been made by the Presi dent of the Council that offenders, if apprehended, would be suspended and, now, regardless of how the evi dence was secured, the violators de serve the penalty inflicted by the governing board. k" ': Students, who attend a college at the sacrifice of their parents, are not to be treated with favoritism when they violate both the rules of the University and the human code of morals. By their very action, they forego all hope of consideration at the hands of their fellows. They have injured themselves, but, more than that they have injured all the other students who compose the University upon which they have brought gen eral disfavor by their breach of honor. f One dissenter at Carolina would have the action of the council set aside, simply because he feels that there are other offenders who have not been apprehended. He feels it unfair that one violator should be sus pended, when another manages to es cape detection. . His argument is with-; out support,' either by historial pre cedence or legal experiences. No court in this land of ours would be justi fied in acquitting one law violator, simply because other violators had not been brought to justice. Imagine the chaos of our government if every violator against the '-JHghteenth Amendment was given his freedom, simply because the government was conscious of the fact that it had not been able to place all similar viola tors under arrest , It is to be regretted that members ORPHEUS Welcomes You Always The Home of Musical Com edy and Vaudeville 3 Shows Daily 5 Shows Saturday of the student body at Carolina have to be coerced into supporting their student government, but if they do, the Council, in its efforts to main tin the Honor System certainly seems justified in such coercion. It is generally believed that stu dents at a University, of the out standing calibre claimed for North Carolina, will not let prejudices and a false sense of human sympathy cause them to endorse the actions of men, guilty of reflecting discredit upon themselves and upon the University, Davidsonian.'
