The Daily
Continues '"
Despite attempts to 1 burn the
Tar Heel office arii despite ru
mors of additionalresighations
from the faculty nthdalf
ty of a 20 percent cut in the
University's . appropriation ' we
still have the Daily. The 'an
nouncement by President Greene
that the student body had en
dorsed the proposed increased
student fee was a relief: The
attempts to destroy the publica
tions' offices along with Alumni
building was obvious J fn The ru
mors of additional resignations
from the already depleted facul
ty threaten to become actuali
ties. And the cut in the Univer
sity's appropriation is too "much
of a reality. But somen'ow- the
Daily managed to' survive the
storm and will continue with the
aid of an additional dollar fee.
We believe that with the in
creased fee the Daily Tar Heel
will be of greater value to the
campus. This year's paper was
neither more nor less than an
J TTTi
experiment. wnatever may
have been the opinion of it as
an experiment " we believe that
the Daily has a great' future be
fore it. Those publishing the
Daily this year were trained in
the field of the tri-weekly.
Complete re-adjustment was
necessary. But with a. large
number of freshmen working
this year and with experience
gained from this year's work
the Daily should of necessity
show great improvement. The
work of the daily-trained men
will naturally be superior to
that of tri-weekly trained men.
The Daily is grateful to those
whose support provided the
means of continued, publication.
With the passage of the in
creased fee the Daily passes
from an experiment to a reality.
Its purpose is to serve the cam
pus. How well it fulfils its
purpose 'will be determined by
the support given it by the stu
dent body.
Sanctity of
the Classroom
"The human race develops by
war and succeeds in war in pro
portion to its use of metal
Races perish in peace Culture
is increased by invention of new
weapons pacifists err in as
suming that peace is desirable
We Americans are living in un
paid luxury and must pay in full
in blood ."
The above extract from a syl
labus by no less a personage than
Theodore Jessee Hoover, bro
ther of the President and Dean
of the Engineering School at Ice
land Stanford University,
though in itself of unusual in
terest, was the cause of a contro
versy which even more directly
concerns us as interested obser
vers of the policies and methods
employed by collegiate news or
gans. For upon seeing his some
what unconventional statements
published in the campus paper,
the Dean condemned in no un
certain terms the "flagrant vio
lation of a long-established aca
demic privilege the inviola
bility of the classroom."
Difficult to define is, indeed,
the exact position of a profes
sor lecturing to a class. Faculty
members, apparently differing
in their opinions. on the subject,
range from those who exhibit
such temerity in exposing their
personal views as seldon to con
tribute any original thought to
class discussion, to those willing
and anxious to be publicized.
If, however, there exists at
present any unwritten and
"longrestablished inviolability of
the classroom," it is evident that
such a censorship is entirely
sutierficial and useless. The in
congruity of supposing that
statements made to a class of
forty students will be consider
ed of a confidential nature is ap
parent. It is our belief, further
more, that seldom are there va
lid reasons for suppressing o
pinions which may be consider
ed newsworthy due to the pres
tige of the author. J. M. L.
Readers' Opinions
The Parting
In only a few more days a
large number of the students
will be leaving and going back
to the "old home towns." Some
will go to homes in other states,
-t ii j.
some down on tne sea coast,
others to the mountains, and
still others "back to the farm."
All of this mixed group, who
have worked side by side for this
whole year, will part, some never
to meet again. As the doors
open next year many vacancies
and many more new faces will
apear.
Some of the vacancies will be
due to graduation; others be
cause of financial troubles, and
another group because of stud
ies. Those who return will make
friends among the newcomers,
and will continue the "daily
grind" as though nothing has
happened. Some day old ac
quamtances will be run across
in the daily run of life, and pleas
ant (?) "college days " will be
recalled to mind.
Although a large number of
the acquaintances will be for
gotten, still others wil stand out
through the years. Many stu
dents will go out into the world
never to oe neara oi or seen
again; but there will be a few,
possibly,' out of the present
group who will make names for
themselves such as this Univer
sity will be proud of. Yet, no
matter what occurs, as , was said
of the brook, "men may come
and men may go, but the Uni
versity goes on forever."

A WTOMAN SPEAKS
Editor the Daily Tar Heel:
By the action of the trustees
in February, 1897, women were
made eligible for admission to
the graduate school of this in
stitution. Almost immediately
this action was extended so that
women were eligible for admis
sion to the two upper classes of
this college. Thirty-three years
ago the women were recognized
by the trustees. Two years ago
they were recognized by the fac
ulty through the work of that
intelligent and charming facul
ty member, Dr. Katherine E. Gil
bert. The women are yet to be
recognized by the men on the
campus. '
To our fellow students we are
not University women but mere
ly co-eds. We have come here
not to take advantage of the op
portunities offered us by the
trustees thirty-one years ago
but to seek pleasure, not intellec
tual pleasure but the pleasure of
indulgence in the thoughtless
whims of youth seeking happi
ness in the forgetting of self, the
merging with the herd.
In the eyes of our fellow stu
dents we are prof-booters, so
cial climbers, husband seekers.
They resent our presence on the
campus because it restricts their
freedom. They can no longer
walk to the gym in bath robes,
dress and act slovenly in the
class room. But was not this
type of freedom restricted in the
public high schools from which
they came? Was it not restrict
ed in their homes by the pres
ence of their mothers and sis
ters? Will it not be restricted in
a few years by the business pub
lic with whom they meet, and
later by their wives and daugh
ters? Then why kick about it
now?
Many boys say that the co-eds
are not the type of girls with
whom they wish to associate.
Possibly so, but is it not their
own fault? Is the type of girl
they desire coming to a place
where she is not recognized?
The women of this campus
have tried to develop athletics,
and with what success? Their
basketball games are, ridiculed,
not supported. They have tried
to form an Athletic Association.
The state would give them no
money, the boys would not sup
port their games; so how could
it continue?
There is a Woman's Associa-
s
tion which efficiently handles
the problems arising in the so
cial life of the women. The Wo
man's Association is recognized
in the Southern Intercollegiate
Association of Student Govern
ments. This association re
quires for membership an en
rollment of 300 girls. We do not
have that,but the officers of
the association were considerate
enough to invite us to send a
visiting delegate to a convention
recently held in Greensboro, and
to extend to us an invitation to
joint as soon as we had 300
members.
The Student Government of
this campus gives us no such
recognition. Its officers invited
representatives from all over the
state to attend the North Caro
lina Federation of Students held
on our own campus. The Wo
man's Association of this cam
pus was uninvited, yet the head
of our dormitory was asked to
break one of her most stringent
regulations by inviting the-representatives
from N.C.CAV. to
stay in the co-ed house. v This
was a slap in the face which can
be overlooked by neither the
head of the dormitory nor the
officers of the association.
One-half an hour before the
time set for the first session, a
committee from the student gov-
.
ernmenx, realizing tneir mis
take, came to invite us. It was
like an invitation to become a
pus
third party on a private engage
ment. After such an insult the
Woman's Association did not
care to send a representative.
How can the men of this cam-
expect wholesome, intelli
gent, attractive young women to
enter a University in which they
are subjected to insults and
ridicule? How can they expect
200 girls to compete with 2,300
boys and have any success when
on every hand they meet with
discouragement, ridicule, in
sults? ;
Not only are we insulted by
this lack of recognition, but by
slighting remarks at every turn
from the "Carolina Gentleman"
of whom we hear so much. We
are considered nobodies, dum
bells, passing our work only by
efficient booting of kindly profs.
Our home here is known among
a certain group of these Caro
lina Gentlemen as the "Wench
Works."
If it is not a "big week-end"
on the campus, we are invited to
Grails. We are asked to frater
nity dances by our brothers or
cousins perhaps by someone
else if his girl from home could
not come. Sometimes a few of
us are invited to Mid-Winters,
Gimghoul dances or Gorgons
Head dinners nly to have it
rubbed in that we are merely
co-eds. We are slighted for the
wealthy society belles who come
many miles for the dances. Who
gives tne university its social
reputation? Is it the co-eds?
No,the visiting girls return to
all parts of this state and others
with tales of boys, fraternities,
house parties.
When the men, here fail to rec
ognize us, ignore, even insult our
organizations and activities, and
fling abroad slighting remarks
about us, do they realize that
they, the gentlemen of the Uni
versity of North Carolina are
slandering a part of their own
Alma Mater?

BARTON EXPLAINS
SENIOR'S WORRIES
Bruce Barton, widely known
author and magazine writer,
has written an article particu
larly designed for college stu
dents called "Sheepskin Blues,"
which appears in the June issue
of Good Housekeeping.
' Mr. Barton's story should be
of especial interest to Universi
ty seniors, as it deals with the
problems of a future career that
are facing all June graduates.
"Every era seems to Youth to
be too late," declares Bruce Bar
ton. "Always the great things
have just been finished the
great battle won, the great mer
gers completed, the f great new
industries started and brought
to maturity. Always there is
nothing great left to be done.
Yet every age develops its un
foreseen new problems, its new
inventions creating new indus
tries, its new opportunities for
glory and for wealth.
"If these opportunities seem
invisible or unattainable on the
day that one stands, with his
college years behind him, look
ing into a world that is already
full, such an one iriay encourage
himself with the reminder that
Time has never yet failed to
provide the openings. I think
it is only fair to add that often
those who suffer most severely
from 'sheepskin blues' experi
ence that greater suffering be
cause they are gifted with
greater imagination, which in
the long run will carry them
farthest.
"The heights of Commence
ment Day have been followed
promptly by the valley of dis
couragement in some of th best
and greatest lives. The valley
is a normal feature of the jour
ney, and perhaps a necessary
one. But for those who do not
lose itheir courage there is' a
firm foothold and a chance to
climb, and it is only just a few
Plans for the University of
North Carolina transcontinental
study tour are nearing comple
tion, according to announcement
received today from the office of
R. M. Grumman, director of the
University extension division.
The party of student-travelers
is , to be divided into two sec
tions, the first, or natural science
section, leaving Chapel Hill on
Saturday, June 7, the social sci
ence section following on Sun
day, June 8.
There is every indication that
the trip from North Carolina to
the Pacific coast will be an event
ful and a successful one. The
combination of educational val
ues with the advantages of tra
vel offers unusual opportunity to
teachers, students t and others
interested in spending a summer
of travel and study. Courses in
I geology, botany and general sci
ence will be offered in the first
section, with abundant oppor
tunity for first-hand study and
observation en route. In the
social science section courses
dealing with the study of mod
ern social problems, physical
geoghaphy and economics wil be
open to registrants. Each course
offered will carry University
credit. For those desiring to
raise teachers' certificates, each
course offers four semester hours
certification credit.
The itinerary of the tour in-j
eludes the most interesting of;
the cities from North Carolina
to the west coast, with frequent
stops for sightseeing, field work
and observation: There will be
a stay of three days in the Yel
lowstone National Park ; two
days will be spent in the neigh
borhood of the Grand Canyon.
The two motorcades will reach
California by June 28 and will
return to Chapel Hill August 3.
Registrations for both sec
tions of the party are coming in

Novel Window Display
In the window of the Students'
Supply Store there is a unique
window display. Pictures of
five children were taken in bath
ing suits, and enlarged by the
photographers to about three
fourth life size. Odell Sapp col
ored them, and they are ar
ranged in the window with a
background of water and actual
sand in the foreground. This
arrangement was made by Her
bert Ledbetter. By adding a
few little things such as shells,
small sand shovels, and sand
buckets a very lifelike picture is
presented. The display is an ad
vertisement for the Kodak com
pany. Pictures were made of the
following children: Bill, age
three, son of Mr. and Mrs. Grady
Pritchard; Walton, age five, son
of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Andrews;
June, age four, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J ack Cheek ; Georgia,"
age four, daughter of Mrs!
George B. Logan ; and Baylor
age seven, son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. S. Henninger.
Dr. Howard W. Odum has
just written a new book which
is at present on the press, called
An American Epoch: Southern
Portraiture in the National Pic
ture. It is beine: published by
Henry Holt and Company and
will be on sale soon.
The book has been highly
praised by several prominent
literary figures. Walter Lipp
man, editorial writer for the
New York World, said of the
book: "I congratulate you on
the achievement of a difficult
task. . Your fairness and sym
pathy will establish the confi
dence of your readers in all
parts of the country. . . . I'm de
lighted this book is to be pub
lished soon. It revives in me the
feeling I have had for years ;
that the adventure of American
life today is in the South."
Gerald Johnson, formerly con
nected with the University,
wrote: "I find the book highly
interesting, moderate in tone and
therefore persuasive and, as far
as I am able to judge, scrupu
lously accurate. ... A fine book,
an admirable book ... a big job
magnificently done."
"The book abounds in authen
tic pictures, sound history, beau
tiful writing, sincere feeling,
honest criticism, with all-pervading
sympathy," says Benja
min Kendrick.
Mrs. McCormick once boasted, or so
Washington gossips say, that she has
no manners, but Charlie Deneen dis
sents. He thinks she has manners
