Ramsay MacDonald, quoted in the New York Times. Concerning The Future One may well say that the fu ture of the University will be determined in the June pri maries, for the men selected at that time for the legislature will hold the power either to con tinue the University on its m-es ent plane or to reduce it to "just another University." Never in its long history has the Univer sity faced a crisis' as serious as at present: -Even during the re construction period when the University was, closed and its re opening a matter, of conjecture was there a qfce. critical condi tion existing, --V .... xxu timt y me jcne. crisis ,was caused, by the philandering and extravagance pf ;Jcorruptnd 3 uxxj.it legislature, . uon ditiQi;(Jifrent n0w., A state 4uxinisraBbn,: bent . upon cuwuxg opejriiig-, expenses without regard ."the ultimate cost to the state,, is slowlv starv ing e, Uni verity' death.

The question remains! What you going to fcdovaboutr it ? are -Therg was. once , a: time . when the .neighbor drppt in fpr : call instead, of calling in for a -drop. Louisville Times. has been raised by the State College freshmen this year over! the wearing of the traditional red cap.: A vote was taken by the student body last fall upon the point, but a measure abolishing the cap was defeated by the slight majority of 13 votes. Odd as it may seem, the rising sophs are still against this distinction between the frosh and their su periors. Leaders of the class are expecting to bring this issue into the limelight again this fall and have high hopes of perman ently abolishing the customary caps. Hazing is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. A glimpse of the change in relationship be tween college freshmen and the old men during the last several years establishes this fact. Brutal treatment of the fresh men is practically obsolete, the minor forms of initiation are bound to follow. Many frater nities as well as secret societies still adhere to the ancient forms of punishment, but they are fol lowing more and more the trend toward abolishing physical suf fering. The rest will follow naturally. The point is this : when a man comes to college, he is making his first really serious step in the direction of manhood. His first year in college is apt to play a major part in the kind of a. man that he will be. There are enough trials that he will have to stand without the unneces sary ones of humiliation and subjugation that devices of freshmen distinction entail. In short we are heartily in agree ment with the stand that the freshmen of State College have made this year, and hope that other colleges having like sys tems will act in a similar man ner. H. D. At The Crossroads Verily, the University of North Carolina is at the cfoss- roads. Just which wav tr o-n is the problem which the legisla ture handed down to University officials when it effected the re cent cut in appropriations. Shall the University of North Caro lina take a back seat because of inadequate funds, or will we, the students, supplement the meagre state appropriations until such time as the state again , gets "on her feet" financially? It is indeed a regrettable fact that the people of the state of North Carolina put other things ahead, of education. That, this is ' the case, however, there can be no . doubt in the light of tjie action 01 the legislature oyer a period of the last year. Citizens of : this commonwealth should life willing' to reduce funds' for lux urious pjeasures in-order to fos ter and promote the Work of this Ainiversity buf this; is decidedly not the case. We 'Vcaniiot ' gb ahead at our accustomed' rate without adequate funds, and the appropriations for next year are very obviously inadequate; As suming that we would not toler ate our alma . . mater's being forced to take a back seat be cause of -financial difficulties, a temporary raise in student fees looms-up as the logical .solution to the problem. But; upon: close examination, we find that -this outlet is in reality a blind alley- Many: students have . dropped out: of ..school .,since., the open ing of .the present collegiate; year for;- financial -.reasons,, ,. A raise in student .. .fees . would , Gauge many -more to withdraw,-., and would , thin the ranks, of next year's freshman class.:. This line of reasoning, which seems plaus ible enough, deals sa death' htoW to the idea of increasing student' fees. The "harmful results1'- of such an increase-ecreaRAAicMTT' next year's f reshnian enroilment and withdrawal of many "upper- Considerable commotion- THE DAILY classmen invalidate its execu tion, for there would be no ap preciable increase in the aggre gate of student fees. At the same time fewer students would en joy. the benefits oi; a college education. In the erection of a two thous and dollar house we may use the periodical plan; that is, we may build half of it one year and then build the other half two years later when we have earned the other thousand dollars. The house will be as good as if it had been built in a month's time. But not so with a university. A year's decline, or even a year's standstill for any reason, will bring about harmful results, the eradication of which will require a decade. Some solution to the present forked-road situation must be found. .BUT WHAT? We join the editor of this pub lication in asking, "Where are we going?" We add another in terrogation: what manner of legislature have we? With re spect to the - University situa tion there seems to have been so little thought - in that" body of late that the introduction of any product of the thinking process would be decidedly out of- or der. J. C. W. Readers' Opinions CAROLINA SONGS? ARE THEY? WHERE According to the records, this University enjoys, the name of being the oldest state univer sity in the entire nation, dating from 1795. During "the long and progressive history which the institution has enjoyed since that eighteenth century date! when its doors were first opened to aspiring young Carolina, tra dition of many and varied kinds haye been built into the records But where are the sonars li 1 ' 1 ii.'f wnxen must nave Deen a part e this traditional experience? A state with such a- wealth of folk-lore can hardly be thought to be devoid of song-lore. The pride of past generations must have found expression in alnia mater songs of dignity and of levity. Where are these songs? Since coming to the Univer sity last September I have had no less than twenty requests for Carolina songs. Publishing houses are anxious to utilize original school songs in collec tions now being compiled. Re quests from this Source have been many. In addition, individuals Who are interested in the history of the University ' are constantly writing for copies of a "Caro lina Song Book." "The answer is always the - samer '-There prob ably is such a book but the writ er cannot suggest where- it might' be found." .- , If such a collection of song material exists the department of music would appreciate hear ing about it; If none exists it is time talented people combine their efforts to produce such songs as soon v as possible.

' "-' , ' : TAR HEEL MIMSCENGES From the Tar Heel Files By Howard M. Lee 1 Twenty-Five Years Ag The Tar Heel was not publish ed this week on account of an early ' commencement. Ten Years Ago -The Philanthropic Assembly adopted a new constitution which replaced the one that had been used for a century. The Order of the Grail was organized by a group of stu dents to promote a better spirit and a closer contact between the members of various schools. Mr. Jefferson Bynum left the University to accept a position on the geology staff of the Hum ble Oil and Refining Company of Fort Worth, Texas. A contract totaling $132,500 was awarded to the John T. Sal mon Company of Durham for the erection of a new dormitory on the campus back of South. I Carolina won the State cham pionship in baseball. V Five Years Ago The Chapel of the Cross Episcopal church was dedicated. This edifice had been built by funds contributed by William A. Erwin of Durham. The Alpha-Lambda chapter of the Delta Sigma Pi interna tional honorary commerce fra ternity was installed at the Uni versity. Dr. H. W. Chase went to Washington with Senator Sim mons to extend an invitation to 1 President Coolidge to attend the semi-centennial celebration of the reopening of the University. THREE MEN LEAD RELIGION FORUM INGERRARD HALL (Continued from first page) liefs, he stated that for a per son's faith not to be a supersti tion it was necessary that it be based on reason. . Mr. Douglas, giving the points on which the religions differed, stated that the first question was, Was Jesus the promised Messiah? "The next difference, and the one that is most impor tant, is the question of whether Christ did or did not establish one church," said the speaker. It was the speaker's opinion that if He did establish one church, then this one was the Catholic church. In regard to the question of salvation he stated that it was the Catholic's belief that any human created "by God could be saved, and' that he would onlv go to ' Hell by willfully sinning. Speaking of some of the other misunderstandings7 he! declared that the Catholic church " claims the right to translate' the l3ible as it sees fit, but "this does riot hinder a scholar from having his own translation. Purgatory," continued Mr. Douglas, "is a place of tem porary punishment for those who are not bad .enough to ; go directly to7 Hell and not good enough to ' go directly to" Heav en,"-' ' - ' He closed W ' 'sayincr - that since all of the : represented re ligions were -'of 'the 'same 'fold; he? hoped- that the v 1 would" ft kv zfrkn opiriidn'ih tKelrcbrihee- fibri-ithr eaclr' otheK - r I feusseli.

I "By means of keeping his eyes, ears, and mind always open," said Dean Russell, "the Protestant is ever open to new ideas that may come up and in this way he may have a truer knowledge of the divine pro gress." He concluded by saying that the Protestants believe that they can honor God most by us ing the facilities that He has given them to the greatest good. Following the three talks, numerous questions,; asked by the audience, were answered by the speakers. - Editor Of New York World Approves Of History Collection (Continued front first page) Mr. Bowers says that the sim plest task will be to get books and pamphlets having a place in a distinctively southern col lection. Then a collection of the publications of the various states, the biographies of south ern irien and women, ' memoirs, autobiographies, local histories, and southern contributions to literature must '' be " gathered. Another necessity will be the files of southern newspapers. The unique feature will be to scour the south for : letters, diaries, unpublished actions of organizations, social, commer cial, religious, and fraternal, which are invaluable to the his torian in picturing the times. There are a number of collec tions of the sort proposed here throughout the country. There are a number in the east. With its collection of material on the northwest, ' the Wisconsin His torical Society has done a great service for the student of the northwest. For the middle west, the Burton Library in Detroit has done the same. In Califor nia, the Bancroft collection fur nishes material on the Spanish occupation of the Pacific coast. The University of Texas fur nishes material about Mexico and the southwest. Unless the plan is realized, Mr. Bowers as sures that the student, of the south will have nowhere to go. By means of the above in stances,- the New York editor proves that the idea is not novel. He goes on to prove that the University's plan is not new, but only a plan for expansion; for the library now has 40,000 bound volumes dealing with North Carolina and contigious terri tory and numerous family col lections. In addition to these manuscripts,' books, pamphlets.' and newspapers, something else is needed; that is money.- It has lows every; movement ; : two fec " ,..

Everything Wednesday, May 1 4, 93( been coming in from Can sources, but much is needed. In conclusion, Mr. Borers a serts that the program cf coL lecting material is in ketD:V with the rapid strides the sou is making in the way of prT ress. "It seems, absurd thata section so enormously rich i the statesmanship of her leader and in her inspiring centrib tions to the creation and build ing of the nation should ha failed so signally in reaping the reward of her enterprise arid genius on the pages of history. " A great percentage of the peo pie of the United States have never known the historic splen dor of the south. Now, if tvitr south will cooperate with this enterprise, and it is possible only through cooperation, her place in the sun of history will be assured. And finally, if this Enterprise is successful, it will win the admiration and restr from the scholarship of the na tion. Judge Parker's Defeat Not Due To Democrats (Continued from first page) The speakers were continually interrupted by questioners and this only aided in making more fierce the fight that both side were making to gain votes for or against the ! bill. The ' meet ing was well attended, and brought to the minds of old members the. pictures of the Di and Phi in past years when the two literary societies held a more important position on the cam pus. ; ' ' At this session, which is the fourth since the revival of; the old custom, the Di Senate .va? host to the Phi and therefore the officers of the Di were in charge. President Rector pre sided, K. C. Ramsay was clerk. J. M. Little was critic, while H. Wood held the position of ser-geant-at-arms in the absence" oi" McB. Fleming-Jones. Before the discussion on the Parker question was opened, the banquet committee of the Di announced to the Di members that the plans for the banquet had been placed aside indefinite ly.
