Something
To "Chaw" On
The faculty has given the student body its
first sensation since it revoked optional attend
ance three years ago. In even considering alter
ation and possible revolution in the University
curriculum, the "arm:chair" men have presented
a problem at once terrifying in its potentialities
and all-important in its conclusions.
The Daily Tar Heel joins the faculty, the
student advisory board, .and the president in
exhorting the student body to consider the pro
posals seriously and thoughtfully. It is the
hope of all associated with the project that hasty
formation of opinion will not damn the whole
business before it has had ample time to be
explained,, weighed, discussed, and evaluated.
Many innovations to the campus have been
struck dead by no other instrument than a too
swift judgment. . Notable in this category are
the optional attendance and honor system re
vision plans. In each case, students and faculty
alike flew furiously to conclusions based solely
upon opinion. v . .
Again, this is the evil to be avoided in the
present situation. Mere opinion in an issue as
vast and complex as this is valueless. Before
a pronouncement can be effected, it is neces
sary to study carefully the entire educational
set-up of the University, the Chicago and Wis
consin developments, the Princeton plan, the
Oxford system, and the countless other educa
tional theories and concepts from which' the
faculty suggestions arose.
It is beyond hope that every student will avail
himself of the opportunity to grasp the, problem
in all its ramifications. But it is certainly within
reason to request that the student body with
hold final judgment until the faculty and stu
dent groups specially delegated to consider the
proposals have made a complete and critical re
port. J.J.S.
Let's Make
It Big!
However, the people of Chapel Hill alone will
not improve the school spirit in cheering, nor
will the offering of prizes by the merchants im
prove the looks of dormitories and fraternity
houses unless the students throw themselves
whole-heartedly into the task of cheering and
decorating. F.P.G.
The Nation
Looks On
The approaching election in New York City
cannot fail to interest every citizen of the United
States. A few weeks will decide whether or not
the sneaks and wife pullers of Tammany can
cram down the throats of a stupid and inanimate
public a successor to "Red Mike" Hylan and
"Jazz" Walker. Mayor O'Brien whom Tammany
has had the effrontery to nominate has already
made himself the laughing stock of everyone,
If he is retained in his puppet position New
York City deserves whatever it gets.
The deplorable condition of city finances is
the logical result of a government by such an
organization as Tammany Hall. Basing its
dominion on graft, bribery, and gangster tac
tics this group which masquerades as the Demo
cratic party has done its best for years with
great success to empty the city's coffers into
its own. The holders of positions - of highest
trust and responsibility appear at their offices
for half an hour a day, the rest of the time being
spent tending their own affairs or around at
"the Hall" devising ways and means of mulcting
the people and double crossing one another.
The New Deal has aroused American people
to the realization that in the world today every
one must do his share. There is place no longer
for the loafer and the parasite. The official
cars with police escorts cannot go on running
back and forth to Aldermen's daughters' wed
dings on gasoline sweated from the small wage
earners. New York can afford no longer to lay
sewers of rotten cement or place ornamental
bronze traffic lights at every corner because the
man who makes them is "one of the boys."
What money is left must go a long ways and the
only way Tammany can make money go is into
its own pockets.
Someone once gave as the Tammany slogan :
subtraction, division, and silence." A more elo
quent definition of their methods could not be
given. Slowly we are beginning to realize that
dirty government does not pay financially or
morally. Now that the taxpayers are faced with
the probability of increased taxation they are
waking up to the fact that the government they
live under is as lax and wasteful as it can be.
Itvseems very possible that the largest city in
the nation will show that the day of the boss,
the machine, and corrupt city government is
drawing to1 a close. If New York City can ex
pel Tammany it will have done its share. J.F.A.
with the Deacons' will certainly
be no pushover for the Tar
Heels.
We are faring badly enough
with our easy" schedule as it
is. Let's make a better record
playing the teams we are now.
If we can defeat Tennessee,
Duke, Georgia Tech, Georgia,
Florida, State, Vanderbilt, Vir
ginia, and the two "breathers
Wake Forest and Davidson next
season, or any other season, we
will receive our share of na
tional recognition.
The time for thinking about
a Kose .cowl game is alter a
season in which the team has
swept through the opposition,
leaving no doubt as to its superi
ority. Let's leave the "big
dogs" to teams that can con
sistently hold their own with
them. Let's not, poor as our
team may be, put ourselves in
the "breather" class.
. J. V. L.
Homecoming day has heretofore been a name
rather than a reality, but this year's Home
coming day bids fair to be one of the greatest
successes in years. . This is largely because' of
the work of the University club in inaugurating
contests for the decoration of dormitories, fra
ternity houses, and automobiles.
Besides the work of the club in starting these
contests the merchants of the town have ral
lied to the cause of making Homecoming day
more than a name. They have contributed to
ward buying the radio for the dormitory using
the best scheme of decoration and the loving cup
for the most clever adornment of fraternity
houses. The U. C. S. P. has managed to get
the radio at less than the list price.' For the
best automobile Strowd Motor Company is giv
ing five dollars in . trade, the University Service
Station, a free grease job, and.Myer-Glenn Com
pany of Durham, a radiator cap.
If the townspeople of Chapel Hill and vicinity
are willing to help in the cause of having a bet
ter University spirit in spite of the fact that
they are not officially connected with the school,
then all of. the students, to whom Homecoming
day and our football team should have a mean
ing, should cooperate in making this Saturday a
real welcome to the alumni.
Speaking The Campus
Mind
An Answer
Editor, the Daily Tar Heel:
A couple of weeks ago an editorial, "Take a
Bite at the Big Dogs" by W.H.W., appeared in
the paper. At the time it appeared, I, as well
as the majority of students on the campus, felt
that the substance, of the editorial was very
foolish. :
In the first place, at schools where there also
is a daily paper, the editorial was reprinted.
Where the status of a school's football team
was attacked, the paper and the campus imme
diately became bitter toward this University.
When the team went down to Florida Satur
day, it was under a difficult handicap playing a
game after an all-night train ride. Yet, when
they came down to Florida they had to face boos
and Bronx cheers from fans in the stands. The
usual sportsmanship shown to yisiting teams
was forgotten. And all because of a silly edi
torial written bya youthful writer who appar
ently knows nothing of the facts.
I have waited to write this letter just to see
how things, that is, the games, would turn out
before criticizing the writer too harshly. Before
even attempting to write, he should have
thought first to even a bare possibility of an
undefeated season before turning his thoughts
to a Rose Bowl game.
In the editorial Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt
are listed as the only two teams worthy of na
tional recognition.- Georgia, Duke, and State
are listed as strictly southern teams. It seems
howeyer, that major sportswriters in the north
seem to regard (Georgia in a higher way than
Georgia Tech. Duke, by defeating Tennessee

right now rates as the class of the south. State
probably, is a strictly southern team, but is
plenty tough for Carolina to handle.

Faculty Convenes to
Discuss Integration
(Continued from first page)
nite action on any questions af
fecting the students without
first making clear the plan of
action to the student body.
Along with these proposals,
the faculty will, in future ses
sions, discuss ineffectiveness in
teaching, inappropriateness of
curricula, and unsatisfactory at
tainments of students.
The plan centered about the
suggestion of having a sharper
distinction between the first two
years of undergraduate work
and the last two, would make
the freshman and sophomore
work uniform and dealing with
fundamental subjects. Candi
dates for degrees would be test
ed at the end of their sophomore
year to find out their competen
cv for decrees. Each student
would be assigned individually
to one of the University depart
ments where he would work out
a program based on his special
field. Upon the , completion of
these programs, comprehensive
examinations would be given. .
Committee Suggestions
All these proposals that are
being studied - by the faculty
grew out of the preliminary
work of committees appointed
by University officials to. make
studies of the best educational
policies. The suggestions of
these groups, after being sifted
out by a central committee, were
considered by an advisory group
and then submitted to the facul-ty.
