GRAHAM EXPLAIN
HONOIOTADITION
Honor System Is Preserved Only
By Participation of AH Stu
dents, President Says.
-"VIOLATIONS ARE THEFTS"
President Frank P. Graham
addressed the freshman class at
the regular chapel period yesterday-
yv-. -:
Claiming that the tradition of
a university is . often taken for
granted, Dr. Graham pointed out
that it is also taken for granted
that the honor system tradition
'carries itself on." , - . .
"The honor system,; precious
as it is, does not carry itself on,
but must be carried," he said. "A
few years ago the student body
came to grips with the fact that
there was dishonesty on the
campus when over a . score of
cases were reported as violations
of the honor code. That group
led by their leaders set . in mo
tion plans by which this class
can participate in carrying on
the. system," the University
head continued.
Self -Examination Needed
"It is a good thing that from
time to time, we can stand and
look at ourselves, asking, 'Is
there anything dishonorable
here?' I stand here to pledge
you that if there is anything dis
honorable vou will let it be
known. We will stand with you,
Dr. Graham said. ;
Cheating he first defined as
lying. "The cheater not 1 only
lies to the professor, but also
causes the professor to uncon
sciously lie to the registrar when
he turns . over the ' student's
jgrades."
"Cheating Is Stealing"
"Cheating is stealing," he con
tinued. "Once in a while a stu
dent here steals a book or some
money out of a room. Terrible
as that is, it is by , far worse
when he steals something : from
a paper. He is taking nothing

To Condemn Compulsory R.O.T.C., Faculty Censorship.

Carolinians have for the last
two years played a leading part
in the administration and de
velopment of the National Stu
dent Federation of America. At
the tenth annual congress, lield
in Boston at the Parker House,
from December 28 to January 1,
the potency of the voice of Car
olina was more evident than
ever before.
Not only did the Carolina del
egates, Virgil Weathers, Earper
Barnes, Joe Sugarman, and Bet
ty Durham, participate actively
in committee discussions and
general sessions, but Carolina
also held the center of the stage
at all times by virtue of . John
Lang's presidency of the organi
zation. Lang, who graduated
from here in 1930, will complete
his second term as president of
N. S. F. A. July 1, 1935.
Reactionaries Opposed
rrom the outset of the con
vention it was clear that there
was a group in the congress
which definitely opposed the re
actionary attitude set by the
convention of 1933, . 'held ' in
Washington. Carolina delegates
joined with representatives from
all over." the cou ntry to condemn

ASSEMBLY GIVEN
DEBATABLE BILLS
Trouble Flung at N. . C. Legis

troversial Proposals.
Raleigh, Jan. 11. (UP)-
irouDie in aouDie aoses was
flung at a newly-convened North
Carolina legislature today as it
marked time awaiting the bud
get message of Governor Ehr-4
inghaus.
It came in the form of two
bills, both higlily controversial
and both due for a long, and pos
sibly acrimonious debate before
they are finally disposed of .
, In the House, Representative
Carr of Duplin introduced a bill
providing unemployment insur
ance to workers' and f armers.
- Senators White of Robeson
and Corey of Pitt presented the
Senate with a bill that would
abolish the absentee voting law.
After brief sessions, both
houses of the assembly; ad
journed to meet tomorrow morn

tertain local bills only. By agree
ment they will then adjourn un
til Monday night.

publications, compulsory R. O.
T. C, and to advocate govern
mental measures , which looked
beyond the New Deal.
In the student government
discussions, it was evident from
the testimony of Weathers and
Miss Durham that Carolina en
joyed a more complete system
of self-government than almost
any .other school in the country.
Round-table sessions' indicated
that many schools, notably Erii-
ory and Tulane, which consider
that they have self-government,
are actually under faculty1 super
vision. .
Delegates Surprised
The publications meeting was
frankly amazed when Joe Sugar
man rose to state that so far as
the daily paper and the "maga
zme were involved, there was
no such thing as censorship at
Carolina. He was one of the
few ' delegates who exemplified
complete freedom from domina
tion of any kind. The response
of the delegates to this situation
was mixed ; many announced
that they would strive to achieve
the ideal of Carolina freedom,

Thomas Blanton, Democrat,
Texas, to reduce the $264,042

The Carolina Magazine, under

was paid a signal compliment by
Eunice Fuller Barnard, educa
tional editor of the New York

umn that appeared in the edi
torial section of last Sunday's
Times.
Miss Barnard commented on
the deplorable status of. most
collesre publications: "Student
literary magazines, it is widely
admitted, have fallen upon evil
days." .... r, :.V:vr
She then cited the magazine
published here as a notable ex
ception. "Now comes a slightly
different venture," she wrote.
"Down . as the University of
North Carolina, a board of stu

"Contributions," Miss Barnard
continued, "are welcomed from

It is impossible to present the

DEFENSE SCORED
BY HANDWRITING
Paper Plays Major Part in New
Accusation Against Haupt
mann in Kidnap TriaL
Flemington, N. J., Jan. 11.
(UP) Little scraps of paper
added their rustle and crackle
today to chorus an accusation
against Bruno Richard Haupt
mann, on trial for his life.
Some was writing paper used
for ransom notes in extorting
$50,000 from America's flying
ace. Albert S. Osborn of New
York City, supposed to know
more about handwriting than
anybody in the world, -then
swore that Hauptmann wrote
all of the threats.
Blood Money
Some of the paper was money
blood money which Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh paid in a
futile attempt to save the life of
a son who was already dead.
It brought into court for the
first time today $14,600, identi
fied as ransom money found in
Hauptmann's home and garage,
hidden behind plastered walls.
Added to this was a balance
sheet marked on one side in let
ters of blood "Paid by Jafsie
$50,000." On the other side
was "Recovered at intervals,
chiefly in New York City, small
amounts totalling $3,980." Re
covered on Hauptmann's prem
ises $14,690. Total recovered
$18,580. 1 Unaccounted for at
this time $31,420.
