Certainly, one fact was demonstrated Friday night: if Mae West were our head cheerleader there is no doubt that Carolina would "go to town." VJ.L. CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE: BOB WOERNER Sunday, October 22, 1933 Change For the Best With regard to the honor system, one thing was certain things could not go on as they have. There was bound to be either a com plete collapse of this ideal which has so, long characterized Carolina, or a drastic attempt at new methods of enforcement. Since this narrow choice was all that was made possible by those on the campus' who are indifferent to the matter, the Daily Tar Heel is glad that, the result has been action, on the part of interested students, towards enforce ment. Although we are usually non-enthusias tic about unsanctioned committees, whose mem bers must perforce remain unidentified to the student hody at large, we feel that the circum stances undoubtedly warranted whatever action toward this cause might have been taken. This paper is ready to lend whatever support it can to the movement. An open forum letter to the Daily Tar Heel stated very well the writer's objections to the honor system, and these, it seems to us, are the objections of the average student on this cam pus. The' letter stated in substance that the honor system was dead on its feet, that it would never again work because those students who reported cheating offenses would be loQked down upon and disliked by the rest of their- class mates. With this attitude existing on the cam- pus, it is no wonder that laxity, indifference, and this code of fear have combined to lower our honor system to. its present status; We con tend, on the contrary, that a student who re ports a cheater without maliciousness in his heart and with a consciousness of upholding the rules-of fair play is entitled to and is accorded the respect of those about him. A.T.D. Mae West For Cheerleader Call out the sociology department! The Mob has reared its ugly head on the campus! Had Professors Odum, Meyer, or Brooks nor Bagby, our- social psychologist been present Friday night, in front of the Carolina theatre, they would have been presented with ample material . for exhaustive treatise on mob phenomena. E. Carrington Smith, manager of the theatre, greatly miscalculating the "Mae West conscious ness" on the campus, saw fit .to advertise his special mid-night show by means of lurid postT ers and hundreds of handbills. The result was in the form of a shouting, fighting crow.d of students exhibiting varying degrees of inebria tion and spirit. Approaching the howling, jost ling multitude, one immediately was reminded of one of the more violent Red demonstrations in Union Square. A mere, mockery of a line which had been formed earlier in the evening soon broke up as its constituents realized that it only led to Sorrell's jewelry store. Cries of "fire at the President's house" and "free ice cream at Sutton's" were unavailing in breaking up the crowd. Several serious acci dents were avoided by the merest "eyelash" as astonished tourists in foreign-license cars .drove by, hypnotized by the social dramatics being enacted before them. While the tinkling of broken glass from the vestibule of the theatre sounded out, the local police 'force stood at ,a safe distance across the Russia and y Recognition The announcement yesterday that for the first time since 1917 direct communications had been opened between the United States and Russia revealed the greatest move of our president in his efforts towards international harmony. Ten days ago President Roosevelt wrote Mikhail Kalinin, president of the Soviet republic, invit ing him to send a representative to Washington. This action of the president comes as a direct reversal of the policy employed by his three immediate predecessors and in opposition to a large faction in this country headed by, the American Legion and the American Federation of Labor. The objection of these two organi zations, however, is not representative of the general attitude in this country in the opinion of the president and his advisers. Certainly it will find strong support from Senator Borah, who has become almost notorious for his efforts to secure recognition for Russia, and from our own Senator Reynolds, who has Ions: been a friend of the Soviet republic. The south has a peculiar interest in the rela tions between Russia and this country. The 160,000,000 people of the communistic republic afford a market which cannot be overlooked. At present Russia is importing to the extent of $16,000,000 a month, of which the United States is obtaining only about three per cent. Accord ing to Senator Reynolds, who has just returned from Moscow, the republic; is in need of a mil lion bales of cotton today. To any thinking person it is evident that Rus sia cannot be ignored. To refuse to recognize her is decidedly to our own detriment, for with out proper relations trade is made difficult if not impossible. The American people should realize that it is inevitable and that the sooner it comes the better it will be for all concerned. V.C.R. Charitable Organization Does Not Evade Blue Laws by Sunday Presentations. Speaking The Campus Mind An Earnest Expression Editor, the Daily Tar Heel: Perhaps the opinion that needs expression most on any subject is the one which is in minority, which has not already been discussed Perhaps, also, the psychologist could explain that the only reason I am expressing my opin ions is that I want to disagree with what has been said. But I claim some degree of earnest ness. " First, I liked the presentation of "Ghosts" by Borgny Hammer. I do, not have patience with those people who are so quick to call such, a performance "morbid" or some' other such ad jective. ; To be sure the consequences of sin are quite as uninteresting as the temptations to sin are attractive. But ' anyone who denies the awfulness and horribleness of such consequences is a coward. I myself would like to see delight- fuLplays all the time; but if the Lord himself died because of the sin of the world then sure ly I can afford to suffer for. two hours with real and vital presentation such as we had last Friday night. - Second, I am willing to accept my status as an undergraduate. After the faculty (a very good one, incidentally) has spent alii the week in in struction, they have a perfect right, I think to talk over among themselves, matters that are not yet ripe for presentation to the student group. I do not think that Thomas Jefferson would find President Graham and Dean Hobbs to be such autocratic individuals as Mr. "B.L. supposes. So far as I can discern they are work ing conscientiously, cooperatively and , wisely with the students and for the students. j. txm nuv bu conservative a s tuaent as you might think Irom what I have written. I like liberal thought, if you please. But criticism o a masterful actress and an unexcelled faculty are, to my mind, beneath the office of true lib eralism. If my fellow, students had found occa sion to bemoan the great suffering airiong pov erty stricken people in the south, the selfish ness of those who keep their money bags tied the stupidity of some of the teaching methods especially in high schoolsthe indolence of peo pie who elect quacks to high offices without realizing what they are doing and some other regrettable situations, I could join in. But as for the two matters mentioned, I find them quite an rignt. - E.T.F. The institute of advanced study at Princeton opened uctoDer 2 for its first year.
