We would like to ask the Bishop 'and all- others like him a few questions this regard. What principles of Christ say that children should work, on the street to sell papers from early in the morning until mid night? Where did' Christ say that little children should work in mills and factories so that a selfish few might make . higher profits and that the children should contract all types of di seases and die before the age of thirty? Did Christ ever say that He desired that helpless children should be exploited to the advantage of a few individ uals with no idea of, or desire for social justice? The churches will do well to apply the prin ciples of Jesus Christ instead of those they have been using. The job for the Kentucky legislature to decide is whether or not it will apply the principles and follow the teaching of Jesus Christ or whether it will follow the wishes and desires of a few selfish individuals who wish to profit by human misery. It is a question of whether it will fol low the leadership of Woodrbw Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Cal vin Coolidge, Herbert C. Hoover, and Franklin D. Roosevelt " or whether it will let '. the selfish rule in behalf of the selfish. The question is indeed serious and it is to be hoped that the legisla tors will consider this matter long and seriously. more no such condition as this will exist if the amendment is every corner of the campus. authentic account of the criminal acts would, in a measure, clear the persons involved of a num ber of things of which they were falsely accused. make nuisances in the business communities." If the critics of our student publications would thoroughly investigate the conditions of our local collegiate (and we might add high school) journals, they would find that the college pub lication presents one of the few-extra-curricular activities both educationally and financially, on; the campus. Student papers may not give "fundamental news writing ex perience to any of the students," as one writer says, but strange to say, there are many alumni of college journalism who are en joying successful careers in that field. None of the advertising in our college papers is solicited as the business man's favor to the school. Students provide a live market for the products of mod ern business and wise business men seek their patronage through the closest medium the school paper. National ad vertisers whose exclusive inter est is collegiate realize the bene fits of the medium of collegiate papers. . , College journalism is not a fad nor a, product of adolescent fri volity but an established insti tution with an enviable record of achievement. Daily Tar Heel printed the names of the per sons who were involved. As to the matter of topping the story "with a fat two-bank head," we must point out that that is our business. When it was decided to use the story, its position in the paper was determined by its news value, the number of people it in volved, and its length. Would discrimination have been shown if the mien had 1een fraternity men? Mr. Lloyd wants to know. With reference to our general policy, and as applicable to any situation, we prefer' not to think so. In this case, certainly not. ; This is not the first time this year that the Daily Tab Heel has acted with all possible frankness m a difficult year. The printing of the circumstances surrounding the resignation of tne nead of the medical school came as a dis tinct surprise to many old readers of the paper. The printing of Friday's story involved no radical change of policy. There is not, generally speaking, any occasion for the publication of the facts involving every case of suspension or ex pulsion before the student council, for the rea son that most of the acts involved in such pro ceedings are more or less personal matters, and ao not attect the campus-at-large. If a'similar situation again arises, Mr. Lloyd may rest as sured that the paper will act without partiality. The policy of the DAily Tar Heel is as pliant and as adjustable as the needs and demands of the student body for whom that policy is main tained. H.N.L.

The class organized a revolt and every time that member opened his mouth, a great shuffling of feet created such a disturbance that he was forced to discontinue his questions. The professor isn't to blame when he comes into his class five, or ten minutes late; he has merely been discussing why the philosophy "of existence is exasperating or what is the future for socialism or nudism with one of these talk ative brutes. Not only is this perverted beast found in the class room, but he is also an unwelcome guest at lectures. He simply has to question the lec turer m order to show off his high-sounding knowledge. Thus, the lecture drags on for an other hour to the joy "of this freak and the snores of the rest of the audience.

Otherwise, this pest will continue to put stu dents to sleep in classes and strain the knowl- i . eage resources of our professors. W.C.D. - f College Journalism (Notre, Dame Scholastic).

' - We've heard about the self supporter being the best stu dent, and we don't believe it. There's no correlation between poverty and intelligence. There are as many studious sons and daughters of wealthy parents as there are of less affluent fam ilies. But all sons and daughters of the more fortunate enter col lege just as all other children enter high school. It appears that not more than a quarter of these fortunates are students; the rest "go to college." Among the poorer class, only the stu dents consider matriculating. Much has been written recent ly concerning college publica tions. The writers blatantly de clare that they are unnecessary expense, a waste of the student's time, that they give "no funda mental news writing experience to any of the students," and that "their advertising departments Dr. James M.
