Students of the University of Havana have always opposed both in thought and action any force operating to curtail political liberty or freedom of thought, nor have they in times past failed to offer their blood as a memoral to free dom. Although: the dust is piling high around the shattered lamp may that spark of scholar ship never be extinguished but guarded by its tenderers, may it wax great into a consuming name for the destruction of one who would smother it in a blanket of suppression.

That is when inflation X ceases to be inflation. Moreover inflation should be not only con trolled in amount but directed in distribution. Not silver mine owners or security holders but the unemployed should be its principal beneficiaries. The, best outlet for additional currency or spending power is through he hands of unemployed work ers, first by means of a main tenance allowance, and then by a program of public works. The administration's program both of relief and of public works is wholly inadequate.

No policy, even of controlled and directed inflation, will be tolerable to the workers without an immense campaign for raising wages. Inflation will double the need for. a stead ily rising minimum wage. Legisl ation may help, but there will be no guarantee of effective leg islation or its enforcement with out organization of the workers both politically and industrially. The real moral of the whole story is that what we need more than more money, is proper dis- ribution of wealth. That will require not regulation of banks and industries but social owner ship and: planned production for use and not profit. NORMAN THOMAS.

J.R.A. College Clippings By George Rhoades To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel : While there are probably some on the campus to whom the Buccaneer's rating of many of the co-eds may appeal as funny, there is a larger group who just ly consider it not only devoid, of every vestige of humor but in J rank bad taste. If the wit of this worthy organ has run dry and it is unable to amuse its avid readers with pure clever ness as it has so long, done, let it discontinue its efforts until new strength is found and its humor ous abilities restored. Let it not, however, turn the ungallant and the vulgar in a desperate effort to suit tastes that it eroneously ascribes to the majority of the student body. The days of the famous south ern chivalry are no doubt long over but let us hope that every last particle of it has not fled nor that all that was worthy of that day is forgotten. A respect for woman has long been a southern boast and this collec tion of insulting remarks about our girl students hardly becomes the magazine of Carolina gentle men. Many will say that the young woman of today is well able to take care of herself and needs no protection but it is obvious that these co-eds have no come back or defense against printed remarks that are grossly insult ing. It is the duty of the incom ing staff to break away from this sort of thing which will, if repeated, reflect only discredit upon itself and the school as well as being unfair and humil ating to many of our co-eds. In many ways it is a privilege, and it is certainly a pleasure to have these young ladies here and they should be extended every opportunity oi enjoying Chapel Hill. This they can do best without the cheap atten tion of campus wits writing without fear of retaliation. remaps a lew oi tne young ladies enjoy this sort of dubious popuuuruy nut it is saie to as sume that the majority do not Society The nucleus of Harvard's new Society of Fellows has been se lected by university officials and comprises a graduate of Oberlin College, a Hamilton College al umnus, and three summa cum laude graduates of Harvard. These three-year appointments entitle each fellow to free room arid board, free use of the facil ities of Harvard University, and a yearly stipend of $1,250. Exhilaration To prove that the effect of the new beer is not intoxicating, a Stanford student consumed a gallon of 3.2 recently, and then successfully passed the Palo Al to police department sobriety tests. The student registered no temperature change nor dila tion of the eye pupils, but re marked that he did feel a cer tain exhilaration. Vocabulary Bin'g Crosby and Richard Ar- len, in preparation for their work in the movie "College Humor," made a list of idioms and expres sions frequently heard on col lege campuses. Although many are the well worn phrases every college man knows, we present below some which might find ex cellent use at Chapel Hill: Apple-polisher: one who cur ries favor or grades from an in structor by ingratiating himself in the latter's good 'graces. Capitalist: one who wears good clothes to classes. Davenport technique: parlor tricks. - Don't be a ditzel : don't be sil ly. " : Gravy train : any sort of suc cessful graft, usually a manag ership of some student activity. Heap: automobile. Hung a pin : become engaged. Laplander : girl who likes to cuddle. Struggle: a dance. Took a powder: disappeared from a difficult situation. Hubub The Tulane campus was agog last week wiien student elections were declared invalid by a fac ulty committee, following the protest of a candidate who stat ed that his opponent's one vote victory was due to the ballot of a: student enrolled in two schools and who had voted twice. Meanwhile another faculty com mitteeof the college of arts and sciences, delivered" a report of its investigation of the honor sys tem at Tulane. They declared, Tuesday, May 2, 19 'The present operation of college seems unsatisfactory only to the faculty but to a rzZ jority of the students." Disappearance Rivalling the mysterious man ner in which it was stolen lalt fall, the valuable Guy Manner ing manuscript of Sir Walter Scott, worth $15,000, was unex. pectedly returned last week to the Columbus University library after police officials had ex pressed grave doubts as to the possibility of ever recovering it. Though a reward for its return was offered, no payment has been made by library officials, who are bound to secrecy arj cannot make any statements on the return of the manuscript. Academia Columbia University has an nounced the addition of a course on football strategy to its sum mer school curriculum Stu dents who must commute to classes every day at Massachu setts Institute of Technology have organized a Commuters club An insurance company is now offering University of Mis souri students a policy, which, if the student flunks a course, will pay his tuition for the same course in summer school Mean while University of Washington students who flunk courses are barred to use the library.
