The success or failure of the Dnilv Tor TJl v.' j' ;j .-i - . i licci . wiu ut; ueciueu within the next few days by the student body. The paper as a daily has passed its experiment al stage and now faces a vote of confidence on condemnation. When plans were submitted to the student' body last year it . Was understood that the consoli dation of the business manage ment of the Magazine would, ef fect some saving but not enough to enable the daily to break even. However, after one year of publication the students are to decide whether they wish a daily paper or not. Tonight at the meeting of the student activities committee meeting proposals for continuing the Tar Heel as a daily will be discussed. Three propositions will be submitted the student body return to the tri-weekly, an additional fee of one dollar or abolition of the Buccaneer and curtailment of the cost of the Yackety' Yack. j The plea was made last spring j that either the Tar Heel must keep stride with the University and. go ahead or must fall back ward. One no loncrer is able tn make that plea. But we do in sist that at this time, When the University is facing the scru tiny of countless eyes, it would be a mistake to discontinue the onesign of progress among the students here. We must not show signs now of wavering in our determination to keep abreast the times. We have no voice in the determination of the work of the legislature, the board of trustees or the faculty, but we alone have the right to conduct student affairs. Do we go forward or backward ? Shall the Daily Tar Heel Continue? Tomorrow evening: at the Carolina Inn the student activi ties commtitee will meet to dis cuss the expediency of continu ing the" Tar Heel as a daily pub lication of the University of North Carolina. It has been intimated by one of the members of this commit tee that a hearty endorsement of the Daily Tar Heel will be made at this meeting, and that the committee will recommend an increase ol one dollar, or 33 1-3 cents a quarter, in the student activities or publications fee for next year.. . As was predicted when plans were under way last year for making the Tar Heel a daily, the Daily Tar Heel has not been a financial success. The expense of operating a daily has been noticeably greater than that of the tri-weekly, and in addition business conditions have caused a slight deficiency in advertis ing during the past three quar ters. Otherwise the Daily Tar Heel has been a marked success, and there is no legitimate rea son why it should not continue to be published six times a week. It was also predicted that oc curences on the campus involv ing news interest would not be sufficient to provide copy for a daily student publication. This prediction has been adequately disproved. Prafctically every is sue of the Daily Tar Heel has ibeen filled with articles that were of sufficient ,-' news value for a college paper. Rather tban being confronted with a paucity of reportorial copy, the editorial staff has had to deal with the opposite sort of situa tion. Time, and again the make up men have been forced to dis card stories turned in, or to hold them over "until a later is sue in order to make room for more necessary articles. Se lectivity has thus been fostered. Instead of having to use what ever copy there might be at hand to fill up the paper, the staff has been able to select those of mtist news value and interest to the readers. The number of occasions upon which house ads' have been run because of lack of news items may be num bered on the fingers of one hand. A staff of more than 70 has carried on the business of put ting out a daily student paper with smoothness and efficiency which is commendable in ama teur, journalists. The work has been rather well systemized and departmentalized, and individual and collective responsibility for the various phases or steps in preparing the- paper for circula tion has brought about a well- functioning student daily. When the student body passes the final verdict on the fate of the Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, May 27, it is to be hoped that s sentiment for progress will be unanimous and that the vote will" be cast for continuance of the Tar Heel as a daily rather than for retrogression to the old tri-weekly.

No force is strong enough to hinder this in situation, glorious in its history and tradition, from continuing its usefulness to the state and to the nation. 7 D.

This cut should not be re garded with such ' disappoint ment. The University of North Carolina will continue its use fulness regardless of any cut in monetary support., from the state. , The University has survived more terrible storms than this and emerged stronger and more powerful than before. Such dif ficulties serve a good purpose in determining whether the Uni Boxing and Duelling Dangers are Compared Duels in the German universi ties are defended by the Society of Surgeons of that republic as being in the first place, less dan gerous than boxing, and in the second place, quite harmless to the contestants when held under proper conditions. As a matter of fact, say the doctors, the duels are not duels at all in the accep ted sense xOf combats based on bad blood, but tests of courage and strong nerves. Student swordplay in the Fatherland has been for genera tions characteristic of Kultur. Scars on Teutonic faces have been considered badges of honor equivalent to broken collar-bones of American football players. While in progress the duels are bloody affairs, more serious in aspect than in actuality. Some times too much blood is lost, or, there is septic poisoning. Other wise nothing happens. When boxing is considered, however, there is another story. Of late much study, has been given to the condition described as "punch-drunk." Many a first-class man has been ruined, mentally and physically, by re peated batterings about the head. No man, it is said, is ever quite the same after he is knock ed out; there is a psychological reaction from such sudden obli vion, as well as physical. That men are killed in the ring, the re cords prove ; that there are seri ous after-effects from- long-continued pugilism is also true. It is true, as well, that many men have spent years at the game and apparently have suffered no ill effects. ' . - The comparative histories of boxing and student duels indi cate the surgeons of Germany are right in their conclusion. However, we do not see student duelling as oife of this Univer sity's i r activities ' in the near future, nor do we see the de cline of boxing. Under the care ful supervision that is given by of ficialsof boxing' in this' Uni versity, we doubt that any ill effects will be suffered by stu dents. -A. V.

Michigan Ex-President Writes About What's Wrong With Colleges . - Continued from first page) university of hard knocks. But remedial forces are at work. The vested interests in "the colleges are yielding to the slow develop ment of an entrance-requirement system which will include 'a measure of the student's emo tional maturity and balance; a measure of his general mental ability and of his particular ap titudes.' "This awakening, as he sees it, is being brought about by the students rather than by the fa culties. 'Rigorous domination by fixed organized authority vested in a favored and privileg ed group of adults has,' he thinks, 'become an obsolete and useless practice.' The younger generation looks to its teachers to be 'elder brothers rather than all-wise parents.' The student's dignity must be recognized and respected just as in industry the workingman's is coming to be. The' 'High priest in business, in dustry, medicine, politics and in a whole host of other fields' has had to step down from his pedes tal ; 'in education and religion he still holds grimly to his ortho dox rights, even though youth is leaving him stranded in solitary glory as it pours past like a river at the flood.' But this is a transient phase, for individual-: istic education is beginning to take the place of mechanized routine." Some of Mr. Little's criticisms are summarized by the New York Herald Tribune Books as follows: "Fraternities should go be cause they 'militate against the students' acquisition of a more mature, individual and inde pendent point of view.' Auto mobiles and . liquor should be banished from the campus be cause they introduce unneces sary 'complicating factors dur ing a period of extremely diffi cult orientation and ad j ustment.' Likewise, coeducation is ruled out, at least for high school and j unior college youth, because it 'introduces a needless complexity which leads to unwise and need less efforts in emotional adjust ment at a period where the for mation and establishment of in tellectual activity are most need ed.' Compulsory military train ing is to be abolished as a 'need less irritant.' Dr. Little would do away with thex 'trade union ism of the American Association of University Professors' and with 'faculty clubs and other gossip pots as they exist today. He would introduce 'men and women who love to teach, who are not ashamed of the absence of higher degrees, who are not scholars 'producing academic adiposity for their own aggran dizement, but 'reproducing' the zeal for scholarship in the minds and hearts of their students.' "Dr. Little is doubtless . cor rect wiien he finds his hopes for the complete awakening of our colleges - in the student rather than in the faculty member or the administrator. Plainly and necessarily, he does not count much if at all on the formal governor and director as a fac tor. Whatever criticisms and reservations may be made by the forward-looking parent and edu cator, as they read this book, all will be grateful to this scientist that he ventured out of his laboratory long enough to gain the experiences and make the observations which are here re corded. What he says in the way of criticism and suggestion may well mark his book as one of the most effective calls to the 'easy' academic sleeper to a-waken." Vulgarity, not rusticity, iSH opposite of god manners.' HERE AGAIN MASTER COMICS OF "RIO RITA" Leased Oil Lands Endow Texas Univ.
