CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE: CARL THOMPSON Tuesday, February 21, 1933 Giants in , The Making Among the more notable advancements of educational science during the past month is Harvard's creation of "The Society of Fellows," an organization to permit r the unhampered re search and detailed, study, of a group of college graduates selected frpm.eolleges and universities throughout the landtrThfe ' Society is composed of the Senior FellowsJgroup consisting of the President of the University and the Dean of the Faculty of Arts , and Science, ex-officio, and a chairman and four others appointed by the Cor poration and confirmed by the Board of Over seers and of the Junior Prize Fellows, prefer ably recent graduates, who will be appointed by the Senior .board from recommendations sub mitted hv pnllee-p deans and residents ' The Junior Fellow plan reads like a pedagog's dream of ValhallaBach year the Senior Fel lows will select Junior Ifzg; Fellows on the basis of their promisejf . notable contribution to knowledge and thought. They will devote their whole time to , productive scholarship, and. prep aration therefor, free from academic regulations for degrees. Fellows will have the privileges of any instruction given in Harvard University, but shall receive no credit for courses and will not be candidates for any degrees. Junior Fellows will roam the libraries, laboratories, and class rooms unrestrained, pursuing any course that will lead them forward in their quest for knowledge. Twenty-four Junior Fellows -will be selected. Room rent, board, spending money, amusement, all the normal expenses of an academic life, will be afforded them by the Society. Each Junior Fellow is to receive in addition during his first term $1,250 a year,v and $1,500 during the sec ond. Every piece of equipment necessary for research and every item of financial obligation will be met by the Society. Appointments are for three years, with , an additional three years if the Fellow, gives an indication of production of a fundamental nature. This Seventh Heaven of higher education is the first step of its kind taken in this country. Frequently employed on the Continent in the past, it has been responsible for the production of many world famous scholars. The situation is ideal, for the Fellow is freed from any finan cial worry and speculation regarding the .where abouts of the next meal, a plaint so frequent in this day. Harvard will undoubtedly turn out some intellectual giants. D.C.S. A Goal for Paul Green State Fair appears at the uaroima theatre , today. This production represents Paul Green's second contribution to the American cinema, the first 6ne being "Cabin in the Cotton.": Mr. Green's achievements in1 the field of legiti mate drama were such as to lead one to anticipate continued activity in that field. Abraham's Bosom vas awarded the Pulitzer Prize, and The House of Connelly excited considerable comment last year. Both of these plays as well as other of Mr. Green's work have led our dramatic public to. see in him a sincere and talented American playwright destined to contribute to the current dramatic scene an interpretation of southern life and manners hitherto unavailable. It is. difficult at first to understand why Mr Green turned to Hollywood to exploit his dra matic talents. The ready explanation is that he was seduced by the lure of money. But any sort of familiarity with Mr. Green's point of view, philosophy, and artistic purposes will de prive one of this easy explanation. Mr. Green has been a serious, socially-minded artist. It is hardly possible that he would make a rapid roundabout face and discard his whole accumul ated philosophy for a high salary. The explanation for Mr. Green's migration to Hollywood is probably that he sees in the mo tion picture an artistic vehicle still in its infancy, but none the less attractive for its very pliabil ity. Mr. Green sees in the cinema the most flex ible of dramatic forms. A moving picture may achieve effects absolutely inconceivable on the stage. At once, the moving picture allows the dramatist to employ extravagance and finesse in his work. The long shot and the close-up are both out of the question on the stage. With this new flexibility drama should make revolution ary progress. Strangely enough the majority of our play wrights have turned a cold shoulder on the pre sumptuous "movie." If they have allowed their plays to be adapted it has been with an air of kindly condescension. Mr. Green has entered the movie world with the frank intention of employ ing its machinery for the creation of an Ameri can cinematic art. Mr. "Green should receive the plaudits of artis tic as well as movie going communities through out the country for his activities in the pursuit of this new end. Hollywood has been, by and large, either arty, or sloppy. Mr. Green should introduce a new element of vitality, reality, and wholesomeness which will lift it above its present commercialism and put it on an equal footing, with the other arts. R.W.B. Youth's Way Out The conditions existing in the United States today are far from satisfactory to ; a large num ber of the people. The present economic system of capitalism has been under fire since the writ ing of Karl Marx's famous Communist Mani festo but during the last three years when the United States, the richest nation in the world. has . been unable to meet the demands of several million men who are willing and able to work, the situation has become rather acute. Radicals cry from their soap boxes "men perishing in the. midst. of plenty " They are further helpful with suggestions of some pet scheme such as social- That the present system is far from' perfect can hardly be denied; no more can it be denied that there is -need either for modification or change. Several thousand banks have closed in each of the years of the depression ; today ten million men wander the streets and frequent the bread lines; the farmer who raises products is unable to find a profitable market; foreign trade' is at,a standstill; nations are going deeper and deeper into debt. ':r'Ky And still we find many who can afford million dollar yachts, spend winters in Italy and suni-: mers in Canada, contributing very little to the welfare of mankind. Justice? Certainly not. What are we -going to do about it? Nations spend more than five billion dollars each year for useless armaments and maintain tariff walls which, although a part of nationalism, are profit able to no one and serve to drive the volume of international trade to lower levels. These conditions certainly demand correction ; but, before jumping at any of the offered pana ceas, we should recall the lessons of history which prove that schemes which are perfect- in theory seldom prove so in practice. The econom ic doctrines of laissez aire as set forth by Adam- Smith are as nearly perfect as possible. They have been tried and they have failed. Socialism in. theory appears very feasible. What will it prove in practice? Communism? Fascism? Be fore accepting any of these or other theories and schemes we must consider whether it is even probable that they will , prove better than the present system. If so, is the chance worth tak ing A fully satisfactory solution of the problem of an economic system will probably never be found; but the present situation is far from de sirable. The solution, of the present ills is worthy of the best efforts of our statesmen, our think ers, and our leaders in all fields. The present day collegian can not too soon turn his mind to this nroblem. The solution lies, neither in rabid radicalism nor in set conservatism; yet, in the suggestions of either group, many valuable view points may be discovered. ' With this view in mind several campus organizations nave Drougni to the campus representatives of both groups. The Tar Heel hopes that the students may profit by these lectures. W.R.E. What of It? A student at Alabama University flunked a course entitled "How to Study" and passed all his other courses with a "B" average." A professor at Oregon University believes that academic standards would be raised if all college students were married. Ohio University Green and White. With Contemporaries- DR.

Wednesday We had a good ses sion today, but Blotch and I got bored over that budget stuff and found a good game going on down in the wash room. Lost fifty dollars and that new watch the governor gave me. Mustn't forget about that mineral water. Thursday Blotch brought up an interesting problem in the finance committee meeting to day.

I don't think a whole lot of it but the committee voted on it and will return a majority re port. , Friday Went out to look over the Lincoln Memorial today.

Paul Green, University pro. fessor, who was secured by Fox Films to write the screen plav adaptation of this picture, ha done even a better job than in "The Cabin in the Cotton' which was his first attempt at screen plays. The story concerns the ad ventures of the Frake family at a big state fair. Abel Frake, the farmer father, has entered Blue Boy, his best hog, for the grand championship. Melissa, his wife, is competing for mincemeat and pickler prizes.
