CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE: CARL THOMPSON Friday, March 9, 1934 Any Old Rags? . , A group of thieves is developing activities to a wholesale scale here on the campus. Thursday morning, some eight hundred dollars in clothing, watches, jewelry, and cash was stolen from fra ternity houses here. Something must be done about this immediate ly. There must be no hiding of facts, no dilly dallying, no suppression of news. There must be swift apprehension of the culprits, with speedy expulsion from the University following. It is up to the student council to lead the chase That is its duty to the students who elected .them, to the responsible positions they are in. There is no time for beating around the bush, for half way, measures. We want no more squeamishness and talk of "blasted lives." Too much damage has been done already, and no consideration can be shown men merely because their 'financial status is such that they are able to go to college. That is all the more reason for, drastic action and swift punishment. It will be too late if we wait unti everyone on the campus has had this brought home: to him forcibly by the - loss of valuable property. W.H.W. Wrapped in A-Sheepskin A few short months and colleges all over the land will turn out a stream of many thousands of men and women into the great current of life "out in the world." The prospect for the major ity is not a pleasant one. They will seek places upon a raft which is barely contriving to remain afloat. Those on it are not anxious o welcome more aboard, their predicament right now is far too precarious. We are about to go forth under a cloud more threatening perhaps than has ever menaced col lege generations as they looked for the last time at the campus, clenched their fists and sallied out to seek their fortunes. The. comfortable placidity of the last hundred and twenty-five years has vanished. Replacing it has come a horrible uncertainty that , has whipped the peo ples of the world into a frenzied hysteria of blind, unthinking action and surging, savage despera tion. . Despite heroic measures, the nation's financial condition is at best dubious. The possibility of the present program's failure has given birth to the black shape of a great fear lurking dimly in the pregnant future. The institutions of free government, attained through long centuries of struggle, are crumbling around our heads all over the world. Hate, suspicion,, and war mania characterize the tempers of the nations. .Under currents of unrest and revolution are being rid den by ruthless dictators. The sabre is being rattled on every continent. The college graduate is faced with the task that should be assumed, by every man, that of making the world a littje better than it is. The tottering foundations must be steadied and man directed again to the great ideals. We possess education, a modicum of idealism, and it is to be hoped, a balanced outlook. It is to the college man and woman who have been fortunate enough to have been endowed with the facilities to work the change, that the world looks for its salva tion. It is upon us to a large measure, that the fate of civilization rests. J.F.A. CARO'GRAPHieS by l&ioicr Your smre .... .

Without going into detail, we may say that it is well known that the administration did not frown upon any of Barnes' activities, actually encouraged him in some, and naively believed that he could do no wrong. Even after the guilt was revealed, the officials reported that the thieving had been going on for only three weeks, when as a point of fact, the Daily Tar Heel carried a story over a month before on one of their confessed robberies and classified adver tisements began appearing almost daily soon after Christmas holidays. ' Students on the campus felt that Barnes "pro tests too much"-and it was common knowledge among many that there was something "fishy." Yet Barnes was on the bad check committee where his actions were at many times question able. E wing was working in the library ; an ad mirable situation for their racket. '. But perhaps wool was pulled over the adminis tration's eyes. All right. But after the fact, what then?- ,Why should a college student be permitted the privilege of protection when a hun gry, uneducated lad of high school age can be sent, to prison for years for stealing a loaf of bread to keep from starving? The college stu dent has been educated to know the laws of soci ety and to know that these must be upheld. When he breaks the law, he does so consciously, and m this case, with premeditation. The excuse will probably be that it would be a stigma on their characters. That is no excuse. lney were conscious of this possibility too. Such leniency will tend to make the student thief more confident and give. him less fear of being caught; Five Student Types (The Nebraskan) Analyzing college students has become a popu lar pastime for critics of higher education, and with their findings one group attacks the meth ods of educating, and another attacks, the num bers being educated. As good a classification of students as we've yet heard was expressed dur ing an informal talk by Dean Wayne Morse, of the law school, the other evening. Five types of students enter the halls of learn ing, points out Dean Morse. The first type in eludes the student who is just plain indifferent. He goes to college without knowing just why ; his folks foot the bilH He seldom questions what his professors put forth, though economic fears may prompt these dispensers of learning to with hold the obvious if it seems a bit daring. He gets his degree and becomes ope of the millions The constitutional conservative falls into the second group. He finds comfort in the status quo; why should he argue and dream and plan for a change ? The here and now is its own de fenserand justification. This group is quite often well versed in history or literature, but dynamic conclusions are not in the nature of its members Third in the list is the hedonist, unconsciously so, for he does not know hedonism is a philos ophy. He knows "pleasure and pain" as the lead ing motives of life, he seeks the one and avoids the other. He it is who gives the administra tion occasional trouble and must be reprimanded or sent to another environment. Fourth group is the idealist and crusader. He is the most forceful of college students. He is the leader of leagues and protest movements ; he embraces the cause of freedom and justice. He is never at rest, and no ideal is too impractica for his support. And lastly, there is the critical-realist. He is the doubter and skeptic, the eternal asker of questions. He is the "why" student. He has the courage to disagree, the energy and mental discipline necessary for .practical affairs. He knows how to use the intellectual tools neces sary in any directed attack on the social prob lems of the day. Too often, however, he lacks initiative," purpose, the drive that gets things done. Out of this deficiency comes the suggestion of the union of the last two groups, the critical realist and the idealist or crusader. To hold the idealist down to the practical is the task of the realist ; to give purpose to the realist, that of the idealist. With any group successfully unit ing these two eminently useful types of student, it is possible to produce surprising results in fields of practical social and political'activity. A Tribute To Carolina To the Editor: x x Feeling ever so deeply touch ed by the wonderful spirit of Carolina, our own State Univer sity, I want to say a word of praise in its, behalf. A month ago I was called there on account of the serious illness of my son, who is attend ing the University for the first year, and I immediately realized that I was among the kindest, most friendly and trusting peo ple I had ever met. , During the month that my son was at the infirmary it was indeed touching to see the ex treme kindness and patience with which-the doctors attend the boys there. Not the slight est atmosphere of duty is dis played in their work, but in stead, one of personal interest in each one's health and wel fare. They are as kind and courteous to the boys as they would be to little children. I found the townspeople the same way. i ate at tne uaronna Coffee Shop the entire month I was there, and there too, I re ceived the most courteous and friendly treatment, and enjoyed the best food I have ever eaten away from home. The service is unsurpassed. The University boys who wait on tables there, trying to neip make tneir ex penses, make you forget they are working for their interest, but make you feel as though they had one interest at heart, to please the customer, for they too are most courteous and at tentive. The Carolina Coffee Shop should indeed be the most popular place in town. The thing that impressed me perhaps most is that every one has the utmost faith and trust in every one else. If I would hand them a bill for which they couldn't make change, they would say, "that's 0. K. justi pay us another time," not know ing whether I would ever be back or not. I met up with just such an incident any number of times, and so could not help ex pressing my feelings, for where I live one never gets just such treatment ; people will walk a block, or two to get change for you, in order that they might get their share. I had heard that it was very hard to get along at Carolina, as "every fellow is for him self," but I want the world to know that that is a great mis take. There is a most wonder ful spirit of co-operation among the students and they are as kind to a sick fellow student as they would be to their own bro ther. I am extremely grateful to the doctors of the University and to the townspeople for all their kindness to me while I was WABC (CBS) 860 2:30 Philadelphia orchestra (WBT). 5 :15 Enoch Light's orches tra (WBT). 6:00 H.
