CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE: BOB WOERNER Thursday, January 18, 1934 Fitting s ; Tribute ' ' As the work on the new athletic field being constructed, by the CWA. goes rapidly on, con siderable interest is arising as to the. naming of theA completed work. Roosevelt Field is ob viously the first thought to present itself and there are those who contend with good reason that the project should be named in honor of the man whose leadership and program made it possible. . While this would certainly be a patriT otic, gesture it would in probability be an empty one. . Thousands of fields, parks, buildings, and avenues, will be' named; for the president and it is more than likely ' that he would never know that a track named in his honor existed here. On the other hand, to name it for someone known 'locally and eminently deserving of the honor seems a far apter use of the opportunity. For this reason there is one man whose name first, comes to, mind. That man ? is ' Coach Bob Fetzer. The new addition is to be devoted to track and it is fitting that it bear the name of a man acknowledged the dean of southern track athletcis and who has for numerous years de veloped teams so consistently excellent that the University enjoys an enviable reputation in this realm of sport. Quietly and without the pub licity attending other sports, the track team; under Coach Bob's guidance, has turned in an almost unbroken string of victories in con ference meets and over the best teams of north and south. - Coach Bob is loved by all who know him and in particular by those who have been fortunate to come under his influence on the athletic field, They have been inspired by his skill in coach ing, by his will to win, and above all by his strict, adherence to the highest ideals of sports manship. His unselfish and tireless efforts in behalf of the school and his teams have long been recognized and appreciated. It is our duty to see that some concrete recognition be given his great work here, and no more suitable oppor trinity could ever present itself than to name in honorof Robert Fetzer the field and stadium de: voted to the sport he has coached here so long, so ably, and with such great honor to the Uni- versity.--J.F.A. , . intelligent, liberal men through a medium which will reach the majority of the people. Mr. Couch expressed the sentiment that the University Press could take an active part in such a move ment through the publishing of intelligent, cul tural books. J Though it is true that such volumes would be of considerable aid, the newspaper represents a more widely read medium through which educa tion and culture can be advanced. The link be tween the University and the. North Carolina Newspaper Institute each year brings their con vention here for its annual meeting. Because of the mutual aim of the two insti tutions, the press and the University, the at tempt should: be made to display to the news papermen and through them to ' their readers, the great work and future benefits which shall be reaped from liberal education"- C.G.T. Booze, Bootleggers And Bamboozlery The results of North Carolina voters' puri tanical hypocrisy are gradually becoming ap parent. Last November they, the people, wailed out in one long whiskey tenor their holier-than-thou intention to remain dry even though forty- seven other states might admit a costly mistake and attempt to rectify it. Now the skeleton has come out of the closet. The state of Virginia, we see by the papers, is threatened with a flood of North Carolina moon shine, which will undersell legitimate Old Domin ion manufacturers and in general deluge our neighbor with blind tiger booze dressed up in fancy labels. We neither waste our sympathy on the unfor tunate situation, that will exist in Virginia and in surrounding, states, nor go to the extreme of declaring North Carolina, as did the Raleigh news release, "to be the ultimate "beneficiary" in the case. North Carolina, on the contrary, will do penance by eventually being overrun with he lawlessness and contempt for law that breeds from bootleg money. In support of this, we mention the about-face of South Carolina's Governor Blackwood, who was a dry throughout the prohibition contro versy, but changed his stand on the issue a few days ago, after having arrived at the conclusion hat prohibition was responsible for an increase i in. crime. This progressive state will unfortunately have to bear the vicissitudes of running contraryito the wiser course of its neighbors, since there is ittle chance, with the exception of repeal of the Turlington Act, of reversing its stand on so irrevocable a decision. We hope, with some mail cious satisfaction, our native apostles of Vol stead will sate their own " thirst for self-right eousness in the "dry" years to come. A.T.D. Lapsus Linguae Rhapsodized English's rangy, ballad-loving Wordsworthian, Tfes, ladies and gentlemen, I assure" you, you will all get" a tremendous thrill out of that magnificent book by Hervey Al- en, that I am now reading, 'An thony Absolute.' " - Newspapers . ' And Education "Whatever we say in the south, we still act in accord with Governor Berkeley when he thanked God that there were no printing presses or schools to disturb the peace," said W. T. Couch in a speech he made recently explaining the pur pose of the University Press. The attitude of Governor Berkeley, Roya Governor of Virginia, was prompted by the fear that should the masses of people become edu cated, they would revolt against the supremacy of the " aristocratic class, and this attitude in regard to education still prevailed in North Caro lina for over 50 years after the United States declared its ' independence. The aristocratic moneyed class in the east of the state feared that the "vulgar masses" would tax them highly should they become educated enough to partici pate in governmental affairs. Sad to relate, this antipathy toward, higher education seems never to have become wholly obliterated during the course of time. To over come this adverse feeling requires messages of Welcome to ' Chapel-Hill! The modern newspaper is an immense mech anism built on discovery and invention such as the telegraph and linotype machine. It is also built on an ideal. This ideal, - especially perti nent to American life, is the ideal of the popular distribution of information economic, political, and social to every person capable df reading and understanding. Without newspapers a vast country like the United States could not present the uniform face that it does. Newspapers are a necessity. The fireside reader and the business man each finds in papers a medium for increasing knowledge along his individual and particular lines. The housekeeper finds methods to better her home: the religious leader finds material for thought and discussion, and the political leader finds a method to make himself known and at the same time, a caution to be honest. While the newspaper is the realization of an ideal, it also maintains ideals within itself - those ideals of accuracy, efficiency, and speed These three factors have contributed largely to placing the newspaper in the important position it occupies today. College papers, are to accomplish in a lesser manner what a great daily accomplishes. The Daily Tar Heel is morefortunate than many college papers in that as Chapel Hill has no daily of its own it may within its capacity compensate for this absence. We have our ideals and aims Our interest in the newspaper as an importan organ of daily life is keen.: For -this reason, as well as many others, we gladly welcome our as sembled newspaper guests at the beginning of the tenth annual North Carolina Newspaper Institute.

NON CAMPUS MENTIS By Joe Sugamtan The King's English Brightest blue ribbon of the week is securely fastened to the blouse of the old Dominion's co ed who thinks the "Rockfellow" Foundation a great beneficiary of education. A less brilliant blue goes to the lawyer from Raleigh for admirably summing up the "cocensus" of opinion. Of a cheaper dye is the adornment to Buncombe's miss who was agog at how much she knew about Einstein's "Theory of Revelation." Behold This Dreamer !

Are tJanbxr And Toa United Slates acing uarr Upton Close Analyze Premises to Answer; Writer Concludes Series of Articles Written Especially for Daily Tar HeeL ; ; - By Upton Close When I have pointed out these things people ask me after the blunt way in which most of them think: "Do you expect war between Japan and the United States, and if so, how soon?" Blunt questions usually require very involved answers. How ever, I will try to put the prem ises to the answer quite as blunt ly. I leave the conclusion for the questioners to draw themselves. Premise 1. There seems no longer hope for the overthrow from within of -the Japanese military clique, which believes that it is operating under stars so favorable that it can afford to take any risk in establishing once and for all at this time Ja pan's complete domination of the Pacific west of Hawaii and absolute political and economic control of China proper. Japan is at present paying her cam paign expenses with the trade which she has captured in these areas and other outlying por tions of European empires. The people of Japan have been so convinced by propaganda and sensationalism of Japan's in evitable success and of the de cline of the white nations, par ticularly Great Britain, that they will not permit discretionary pauses or retreats in the cam paign. This is an entirely dif ferent situation from the nation-al-honor-or-suicide frenzies which existed in Japan at the numerous other times when talk of war between Japan and America has been common. ' l Japan's Demands 'Difficult Premise 2. It seems doubtful that any administration of the United States will make such a thorough right-about-face in Pa cific policy as' would be necessa ry to wipe out the Japanese feel ing that America is a menace to Japan's ambitions. To truly establish Japanese-American friendship today would require on. our part the abandonment of the open-door policy, the recog nition of acquisition of territory made in defiance of treaties, and the withdrawal from China of moral support tendered her in all vicissitudes since the days of the clipper ships. It would re quire complete giving in to Ja pan's demands that our firms Cease selling China airplanes and that-our government pro hibit the engagement of Ameri cans to teach their use. It would require that the United States make no loans, money, wheat or cotton to China henceforth without Japanese approval. Al so equally it would require that we render Russia no encourage ment that would stiffen soviet resistance on the Pacific front. Premise 3. It is exceedingly doubtful that the exacting con ditions upon which alone Japan will enter any renewal of naval limitation after 1935 will be given consideration by any con ceivable American government. Those conditions are: First, ab solute parity the abandonment of the theory that since Japan fronts on only one ocean and has no far-flung lines of empire to protect she requires only three-fifths as much navy as Great Britain or' America. Sec ond, recognition of Japan's out right ownership of the mandated islands. Should Washington be willing to make both these con cessions, it would find itself un able to enter contractual rela tions with a power which re serves the right to unilaterally break contract at any time con veniently considered an emer gency by its war lords. Naval Pacts Favor Nippon On the American side there is the deepening conviction in both state department and de fensive services that America has been tricked under the limi tation contract now running out. That is, that although the pa triots in Japan gnash their teeth in rage at the "pusillani mous" Japanese statesman who signed the Washington and Lon don pacts, they are ' secretly laughing in their sleeves at the ' (Continued on page four) LOST Sum of money. $5.00 reward.
