It is popularly agreed that a major portion of the infractions against the University honor system occurs among the' mem bers of the first-year class, and so during the freshman orienta tion period a concentrated effort is made to instruct the newcom ers in the traditions of the in stitution. But, this system is found to be inadequate in that there is difficulty in teaching the 1 new students something about which they have never been given any previous inkling. And so, it has been concluded that a solution to the problem may be found in beginning edu- cation m the honor system among students of pre-college age, especially prospective Uni versity entrants. Then there is the question as to what agency is to be created or what present means are to be employed in spreading such propaganda. , . . The" first and best of all sug gestions that have been offered is that the University Extension division through its bureau of high school debating and ath letics carry on this work. This department is in an excellent position for activity of this type, having already established a direct and intimate contact with students all over the state. For this reason, we' suggest if any action is ever taken in this most ; important matter, that Messrs. Grumman; Rankin and Company be given the re sponsibility. E. C. D., Jr. itemize ior you some of the things which are to be done within the College of Arts and Sciences next year : 1. Students are to be pro moted on the basis of actual at tainment and growth rather than on mere attendance at classes and the meeting of rou tine requirements. 2. sSpecially capable freshmen to the number of. some five or six hundred entering next fall will be excused from certain routine freshman requirements and allowed to enter immediate ly upon more advanced work. 3. Routine language require ments will be changed to allow a student to complete a require ment at any time when he can show sufficient . proficiency in a language. It will no longer be a question of how many hours are taken, but how far the stu dent actually is able to use a anguage he has studied. 4. Students who at the end of two years in college show mcuiocivca uuauie to Dear up under the pressure will be ex cluded from the junior-senior years. The college plans to ex elude 25 per cent of the sopho more class in this way. Stu dents who satisfactorily finish the first two years of study will be given certificates entitling them to the rank of Graduate in Liberal Studies. Not all who receive the certificate will neces sarily be admited to the junior year. - : ' 5. Correlation courses will be offered in several fields through the cooperation of different de partments within the Collee-P.

Lang soon had the Tar Heel be hind! him. By the many things that the Tar Heel has sponsored for the benefit of the students, especial ly since it was made a daily publication, and because it is one of the college dailies in the south, we should strive to main tain it, and in doing this we should vote next Tuesday to keep it a daily rather than a tri weekly.

The editors have made the paper a readable one. Smaller and less advanced uni versities than Carolina boast commendable dailies. The fate of the Daily Tar Heel is incidental to the current problem of the reorganization of the University. Carolina wil be viewed with a critical , eye in all of her activities and endeav ors from now on until her iiew machinery is well oiled. yAny x egression m university or stu dent activity will be food for un welcome thought and erroneous conjecture.

The ex tremely delicate and . sensitive nmh. lem of interfering with the individual liberty of a man for the sake of the so cial good of the community was there after dealt with not in terms of small communities but in terms of a mighty nation of 125,000,000 people, with great climatic, racial, and social di vergences. Tn monir 4-ri4-s i 1 i muu j, ouw:s, wnere rc is m ac cord with popular sentiment, national prohibition is generally believed to be successful. It is successful ; Kp. cause of the active co-operation of the people and their officials. In other states, including those with the great est populationsthe system works bad ly because the people and their offi cials do not co-operate with the fed eral agents, and the federal agents alone are not able to exercise effec tive control. : In these states there exists -resentment against the at tempt to oppose a control which the prevailing conscience of the people does not accept. Is it well that large portions of our people should con ceive ' of the federal government 'as an alien arid even hostile power?. It is well to have as a result a lawless,' unregulated liquor traffic, attended by a shocking corruption? I believe that the way out of the present difficulty is to recognize clear ly the fundamental difference between the nature of the federal govern ment and that of the state govern ment. I believe this involves a re peal of the eighteenth amendment ! and the substitution therefor of an amendment which will restore to the states the power to determine their policy toward the liquor traffic, and vest in the Federal government power luooiuic jttuiciion ana as' sisxance to those states that desire complete prohibition against invasion from the states that do not So long as the eighteenth amend ment and the statutes thereunder are the law of the land, I favor generous appropriations for their enforcement. I favor the use of such appropriations m the first place, for that portion of enforcement which is pre-eminently the duty of. the federal government. This means that the federal govern ment wouw first direct its efforts to Woodrow Wilson The eighteenth amendment made prohibition the law fnr The Volstead act prescribed for the nation wrhat liquor should be deemed intoxicating. But the people, when adopting the amendment, recognized fully that the law could not be enforc ed without the cooperation" of the States within the nation. Hence it provided in Section 2 that "The Con gress and the several states have con current, power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." The in tention was that each government should perform that Dart' of tfc for which it was peculiarly fitted. I tie federal government's nart is tn protect the United States against il legal importation of liquor from for eign countries and to state from the illegal introduction in to it of liquor from another state. To perform that part of the task effec tively requires centralization, unified action and the employment of the large federal powers and resources. Experience has demonstrated that. perform adequately this part of the task will require all the resources which Congress makes available for enforcement of this law. To this part of the whole task of enforcement the federal government should therefore devote its entire energies. The protection of the people of a state against the illegal sale wit.hir, it of liquor illegally manufactured within it is a task for which the state governments are peculiarly fitted and which they should perform. That part of the task involves diversified governmental action and adaptation to the widely varying conditions in and the habits and sentiments of the people of the several states. It is a task for which the federal govern ment is not fitted. ' ' To relieve the state from the duty of performing it violates our trac tions and threatens the best interests of our country. The strentrth of nation and its capacity for achieve ment is in large measure Hn rt federal system with its distribution of powers and duties. There should be frank recognition of the fact that the prime duty of the federal government is to protect the country against illegal importation from abroad and from illegal intro duction of liquor from one state into another, that the full performance of this duty will tax the resources of the federal government to the uttermost, and that for the rest the people of each state must look to their state governments. But the eighteenth amendment should remain iinQ ed. And the Volstead act should re main unchanged. country and to keeping liquor from passing into interstate commerce. While there is no doubt of the power of the federal government under the eighteenth amendment to perform, lo cal police duty in the suppression of tne liquor traffic, it should be remem- Dwight W. Morrow: bered that it has a vast task in the purely federal field. Until it per forms that task it might well leave all local police duty with the states who, have concurrent power with the. federal government in the local field. Such a method of enforce ment would distribute responsibility where it belongs. The solution will be round whm realize that the issue before us is a governmental problem.
