Co-operation between the administration; fac ulty, and the students is the keystone to hold a great university together. If the proper means of expressing little dissatisfactions had been available there would not be now this large agi tation. The students must have a say in the running of a school. The school and the students are interdependent. It will be interesting to watch the final issue of this show of student interest in their welfare. It is quite likely that this trouble will be smoothed over with nothing much accomplished. We will see a little diplomatic suppression, and then pseudo-quietnes3 and acquiescence on the part of the students. Then again will come those stern exhortations for students to exert them selves and awake to the needs of their surround ings. Perhaps this will be the outcome and per haps it will not. This will depend more on the administration than on the students: If the ad ministration really wants to correct this trouble this will not be the end, but if the administra tion would prefer to drive a blind horse than not to drive at all this will be the end of the whole business. J.M.V.H. CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE: BOB PAGE Sunday, February 11, 1934 Changes in Curriculum - ;j' There is one insurmountable criticism to the administrative changes nbw'under -consideration .of the faculty. . As we see from the story' on the Minnesota plan printed in this issue.-the General Collecre of .that university is. an organization separate from the other colleges. In other words, a stu dent is not compelled to enter this colleere and pursue the -type of course it offers; he may enter . any one of the other colleges, provided he can pass their requirements. ... . But according to the yet nebulous proposals being, considered by this faculty for administra tive reorganization, a . sort of general two-year curriculum is to be set up through which every student that enters this University must pass. I his idea is as fundamentally unsound as the idea of the general college is sound. We realize that its originators' have made mention of ex emptions, m the case of some students, from the requirement of a uniform two-year curricu lum. But'on the whole the proposal, as it now stands, will require every student entering the University to take the same general course. If such a plan is inaugurated, it will result in aggravating the very conditions which it is de signed to correct. . Only 16 per cent of entering students now graduate at the appointed time. The proposal for reorganization, among other things, is meant to increase this percentage as well as prepare those students who will not graduate to assume an intelligent place in society. But will it not lower this percentage? A good mOTlW vf Vl r 4-ias3rvn4-n ...1. J ', - wic okuwia wiiu ii uw arop out oi school do so because of financial difficulties. But a large part of them, if not the larger part of them, drop out because they are forced into taking required subjects, in which they have no interest, for Vjrtiich they are not adapted, and which they ulti matelv fail. The Universitv of Mi requires no such uniform curriculum. We hope that possible administrative ' changes 'will follow this saner plan. A.T.D. Puke HuRahalloo For a long time we . have been hearing state ments about the indifference of student bodies. From ..the', campus .world .and outside world have come criticisms of this allegedly careless atti tude of the students. Not only have we had criticisms, but we have had almost tearful ex hortations for the student to awake- from this lethargy of a four-year vacation. Now, in Dur ham, at Duke University, we have a startling example of an awakening. J ust what the trouble rthere seems' to be is hard to determine. The most logical conclusion seems to be that it is a final culmination of little disagreements accumulated 'for Beveral years. - The student body is in a state of mental dis : satisfaction. The original issue which 4 started the whole ' controversy has become almost; a minor point: The controversy now covers all the ground from loss; of student morale to 'dissatis faction : with the rates and ' fare of the student dining room This' spread of grievances1 does tiot show-a scatter-brained; quarrelsome attitude Compliments And Criticisms Those who take gym and like to follow it im mediately with a shower will join in a vote of thanks to Secretary Chandler or the Buildings department or whoever is responsible for the new shower sprays that have been installed in Bynum gymnasium. There is still plenty of room for improvement. We still need a new building. But while the present gym is not by any means satisfactory, it could be made' more so than it is now by the students themselves who use it. Spitting on the floor and strewing papers around the shower room are, to put it mildly, undesirable. Some where out of the dim, dim past, when war was being waged against tuberculosis and other con tagious diseases, we learned that spitting was unsanitary. It seems especially anomalous for those upper classmen who take the work voluntarily in the interest of their own bodies to violate at the same time one of the most fundamental health rules. It seems especially dangerous in a con gested community, such as a college campus, And it should. be pointed out that it works to the advantage of those who spit as well as those who don't. D.B. Deserving Of Merit The Carolina Playmakers have for a long time been one of the extra-curricular activities least representative of the student body, but in 'spite of this, the Playmakers have attained a nation- wide repute, which culminated yesterday in the donation of a $7,500 fund from the Rockefeller Foundation in recognition of their excellent work in American drama. The Playmakers, since their founding, have made notable advances in the field of American drama. The reception of this grant should prove of great value in the furthering of this work by permitting the Playmakers to replace worn out equipment, recondition the theatre, and to increase the quality of their performances by not having to curtail expenses as much as they have formerly had to do. For sometime this group has been forced to labor under adverse conditions because of lack of funds, and in spite of this handicap, they have still been able to progress greatly in the field of drama depicting typically American folk life in the mountains and in other places usually left untouched by the majority of playwrights In the field of folk drama of American life the Playmakers stand practically alone, but regard less of this they have done much toward con tributing to the realization that real American drama does not lie alone in the treatment of Negro life and social atmosphere, but that the study of the illiterate and uncultured "poor white folks" offers a vast field to dramatists. They have been long recognized nationally for their advances in this type of nlav and this grant by the Rockefeller Foundation should at least show to the scoffers bh the campus who think that the Playmakers are not worthwhile that the University has gained much of its out side fame through them. F.P.G. The University of North Dakota finds an in teresting way to help students who have more ambition than wealth.. Half a dozen old railway cabooses have been turned into a dormitory unit ; and some thirty students are comfortably, if unconventionally, housed at a weekly rental of four hours' work each on the campus. One may imagine that the good-nature humor of the cam pus calls them "the ycrung. conductors." Chris tian Science Monitor (NSFA). --v.- STRAWS EW!D By VirgU Lee Future Needs It seems to this writer that one of the most important ideas back of the faculty plan for the reorganization of the curriculum is that of making the student a responsible, socially alert indi vidual. The tendency is only too prev alent to allow courses to become restricted and encompassed with in the scope of the immediate interests of the class-room. There is little or no broadening out into practical applications. Courses in economics should pre sent typical problems of the eco nomic order and get the student to think about them intelligent ly. "History and government de partments should attempt to in terest the student in applying his knowledge to problems of government and the body politic which are of immediate sig nificance. It is foolish to maintain that the institution of Democracy can ever become perfected. How ever by training the rising gen erations to an interest in their own social and economic welfare a selective process of weeding out inefficient, antiquated polit ical and cultural traits and cus toms may be accomplished. A broadly educated . and socially conscious individual will, at least, be able to betfer estimate the true worth of a political state ment, an economic program, or a social taboo. . . . Accent Grave It may be of interest to the student of ethics to recount ,an occurrence of some months back involving a city of eastern North Carolina. It seems that : there was a certain advertising sign board on one of the principal streets of the place which in preparation for a coming show displayed a young lady in scanty attire smiling in a pro vocative fashion at all who looked in her direction. The pic ture could hardly be called im moral, since hundreds of pic tures in newsstand magazines were of a much bolder nature. However the board of aldermen saw. fit to meet and place a ban on such forms of advertising. But that was only the beginning. The advertiser, suspecting that something of the sort would be done, ordered that a large sheet of white paper be placed over the entire body, of the young lady with the exception of the head. With the humor of the situation apparent to everyone, we may well imagine that the show was extremely well at tended upon its arrival in town. kaleidoscopia " by ' ; " be proctor PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS FRANCE REALLY MAKES news as daladier is forced to re sign after two votes of confi dence by the chamber (stop) sta- visky's pawnshop scandal caused lack of confidence in daladier (stop) rioting broke forth as a result of public indignation of scandal but was led by royalist who want due d' guise to become king of franco (stop) leftist fearing fascistic or royalist coup called a general strike while com munist joined them in the riot ing against the royalist , (stop) the wide streets of paris which were designed - to , thwart barri cading proved ineffective against modern mob (stop) ..rioting; and strike ceased as doumergue took the helm to form a coalition cab inet (stop) i , .

Sunday : WE INSIST THAT THIS IS NEWS NOT PUBLICITY -.V Iff ES, it covers the most important phases of S one's entire lif e. Let us deal primarily with the first expression of individuality. In the strict est sense of the word, one's personal appearance distinguishes either individuality or the lack of same. The first impression created is invariably the deepest rooted, and the most difficult to change. Now, apply these facts to the point of first acquaintance. Personal appearance, unfortunately, must be attained, almost wholly by the individual's attire. The designing, cutting and needlework, combined with the Style Analyst's services, are the essen tial factors which make the wearer's appearance distinctive. The most important part of making fine clothes precedes the actual needlework. It is the analysis of the wearer's requirements and the designing for the cut of details which make ;the final appearance. . ; .
