McMillan, Jr. . ...Editor .Managing Editor .Business Manager CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE: DONOH HANKS Friday, May 12, 1933 The Power of V 5 v Student Action : In the face of the recent controversy over the wild expenditures involved in sponsoring our Junior-Senior dances this week-end, some nine teen organizations .have fallen in line with the sponsors of the "cut the grass program." Money is needed, it is truer to finance such a program) but this money is to be spent for a common purpose, one that is of vital interest to the pride of every Carolina student.. " Approximately two hundred dollars is needed to. repair the University's power mowers and more than a hundred dollars has already: been procured. Eighteen fraternities,: one sorority and four campus organizations have each donat ed five dollars towards the amount required. Indeed, the inmates of one dormitory turned out en masse Wednesday and) with borrowed implements, cut the lawn surrounding, the build ing,, clipped the shrubbery, and in general im proved the- appearance of their Chapel Hill home a hundred per: cent. The efforts of the various organizations and the exhibition of the men in the dormitory stand out as the biggest step taken by the students as a whole at Carolina in a long while. It shows, beyond any doubt,, that there exists today, as in the past, a. strong love and admiration for the campus and a desire to have it keep its posi tion, as one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. ' Such, a movement as this one, organized and advanced by .the students themselves, is just the thing that will: make ; the University's critics in the; legislature and elsewhere stop, admire, and-finally come. to our support. . Vandalism . . '" ' :V ' ' '. . " The numerous reports of books being taken from the, library -of, whole pages being cut out of encyclopedias and newspapers; is a sad; com mentary on the sense of honor which presumably exists among some students here r When the University administration . decided to introduce the, honor system here at- Chapel Hill, it was going on the assumption that at least ninety-nine students put of a hundred would be fair; enough to themselves and to their fellow . students not to cheat. The greater-offense of vandalism as not seriously considered as constituting a men ace to the school ; however it seems that unless a ; far. greater respect for- University property is shown in the near future some sort of drastic action will undoubtedly be taken. It is one of the prides of a student here at the University that his -restrictions are few; ; he, is considered -a man capable of trust , and respon sibility.. It is "obligatory, on his part to show his appreciation , of . this , confidence . by his loyalty and cooperation to the school. The type of mind which perpetrates ? such outrages represents an individual, who. does not .deserve to be called a university, man. Suspicion 'for these acts, has-fallen upon . one or two freshmen who were working upon term papers. Whether this be correct or not does not matter a great deal; it is to be hoped that the culprits were not -persons who have been here at the University long, since such a situation would hint that these gentlemen had not profited much from their college years. Be that as it may, such x acts of vandalism deserve the ex press condemnation of ; each student! as well as the student body at large. We here at the Uni versity of 'North Carolina have a tradition of honor and accomplishment to uphold ; let it not be said that 'w are failing in this respect. V.J.L. Where Is Our -Intimacy? There once was a custom at Carolina, still prevalent at' many, schools, that required stu dents passing one another, on the campus to exchange a word of greeting. While not yet extinct this is a usage that becomes rarer as the years go by and is now 'the pWpnti than the rule. . True? there is no tremendous gam to be- had by the perpetuation of the cus torn; if it dies out Carolina will be about the same school and would suffer no considerable setback for - its demise. Yet its survival would impart to the campus an intimacy and a friend liness that it possessed in days gone by. North Carolina as a southern i school should endeavor to stress - one of the south's finest vir tuescordiality; A nod or a "howdy" is a far more pleasant means with which to pass a-person on . a narrow walk than is a'u stony stare. Few students at the University are so rushed and overworked that they are forced to conserve every moment and go to and frd with the grim silence and preoccupied mien of a Wall Street banker. Old Chapel Hill boasts a certain charm ing languor which might well be enhanced by an air of friendliness and greeting. Carolina is an old school proud of her tradi tions which are fine ones that she does well to treasure. The exchange of salutations was once sucft a tradition and it is a pity to see it go by the boards. It is a practice that if not overdone may be'a pleasant and agreeable little ritual. It has nought to recommend it other than mere courtesy and the kinship that might be expected to exist by all who attend this University. For the time at least we are all schoolmates and all townsmates and we can show the world that the rush of present day life and the new high press ure efficiency has not robbed Chapel Hill of the intimacy and courtesy of bur-student body.. J.F.A. - - With Contemporaries Do Honor Systems - Ever Work? The honor system of one of-the south's great est universities,, Tulane,. has been declared un satisfactory and is undergoing a thorough inves tigation by a faculty committee: Blame for the conditions have been placed by the committee on the failure of students to offer sufficient-cooperation.' ' .-. - - : . .. ' ... . ' The Tulane Hullabaloo discusses the matter as follows : "Three possible courses are open to faculty members and students who will determine the future of the system. One is to retain it in its present form. This-should logically be accom panied by a campaign to educate students to their responsibility and create a willingness to enforce, as well as observe personally, the exist ing system. Another course would involve rec ognizing the almost insuperable reluctance of students to report i their erring fellows, arid cul tivating a student attitude against cheating which would substitute personal-honor for for mal enforcement. The third course is simply to discard . the, honor system: as ineffective and un desirable and substitute some form of proctorial supervision," . . . - The . handicaps listed by. the Hullabaloo, un willingness, of students to report those cheating on exams, and lack of sufficiently strong, feeling against , cheating among the mass of the stu dents,, beset any honor system in ( any. univer sity. . In view, of : them it might well be asked; do any honor systems work? They do . work ; in some schools, but not in many. , Louisiana State has not been, able, de spite agitation, for such within recent years, to establish an honor system. .. Examinations- are given . in. one or, two, schools, on such a, basis, but even these .have, had their moments of, un certainty. . . An honor. system, to operate.pronerly. reauires a high sense, of .honor and responsibility in every siuaent ; it also .requires that every -student be willing to report any fellow, whom he might see cheating or giving aid on an examination. He is a rare optimist who imagines that nearlv all the students in any, university possess the first requisite ; he is worse than an. optimist who imagines that any student body, can be prevailed upon to report every one of its members seem cheating.- , , Honor -systems : established after many years of effort in a school of "the very highest scholas tic standards -may function with some efficiency, out under; even them there will be found prob ably, as much cribbing on examinations as un der any other system.- A sense of honor and responsibility t on the part of many students might be encouraged, but on the whole, any stu dent who will cheat while under the eye of a professor will cheat all the more when that pro fessor leaves the room.

Royster Presenting to a Chapel Hill audience for the first time in several years a notable contral to voice, Miss Louise Bernhardt appeared in Memorial hall Wed nesday night under the auspices of the Student Entertainment Committee, offering a program more varied in promise than in the performance. So frequently of late has the University been host to artists of the first water that it is be coming increasingly difficult to maintain towards them an or derlvl critical attitude,- a diffi- & . ' culty which arises over the adoption of a criterion. Miss Bernhardt possesses a voice of such flexibility and range, cftm hined with intelligence in her phrasing, as to rank her among the most promising of the con traltos. Yet there is, withal, something essential to the mas tery of her expression which is unfortunately lacking. A glance at Miss Bernhardt's program shows a variation suf ficient to bring out the full pos sibilities of an artist, possibili ties which she left dormant In the second number of the first group, - a plaintive composition of Caccini, Miss Bernhardt first displayed the full richness and resonance of her voice. In this and the following number ; of Schubert's she raised : the hope of a brilliant- performance, which made some of the . suc ceeding renditions decided- disappointments.- r r It was in the second group of compositions all from the pens of Germans, that she gave the poorest performance of the eve ning's program. These unfor tunate selections, however, did hot long leave impressions upon the. audience, ; for the. third group found her i at her best again: The Spanish melody by Aubert was possibly; , the, num ber most familiar, to her audi ence, and this, with Ravel's Tout gai gave her a vivacity not here tofore attained. 1 So favorably did the audience react to these last two numbers that she returned to encore, for which she chose, as is the popu lar custom, an Ifish folk song. Yet the greatest rendition of the evening came after Tschaikow- skys Jeanne eTArc which M Bernhardt offered as her piece de resistance. r The final group consisted for the most part of American num bers delivered in a humorous vein: Rich's American Lullaby was something of a novelty and reminded one of Tibbett singing Short1 nin'' Bread. . In Sea Poem, a short number by the compar atively unknown Bibb, "Miss Bernhardt showed her ability to gather "range; a thing of which there had already been intima tions in Nudges by the French composer Georges. Miss' Bernhardt's performance would have been much' more en joyable, to this critic at least, had' she left off her attempted histrionics. In her efforts to throw her personality across the foot-lights she became too stagey, as though she were try ing to ape the vivacity of Mary Garden ten . years ago. In her Parodies, in which she gave her interpretation of those tenors who take themselves too serious ly and those who , take " Bach more seriously than he ever in tended, she was unconsciously burlesquing her 'own . singing. Had the words been otherwise and : her- gestures absent there would have been no hint of the burlesque.. As to Miss Bernhardt's voice, it possesses a richness of timbre and shows itself to be a product Of severe training,5 but there is lacking-in it that intangible fin ish which is the difference be tween - the performer and1 the artist. .
