FRTDAV mav o -mo- Class-Es A JOURNAL OF the AcnvmEs OP CAROLINIANS 0000 00 by the Editor STUDENTS -en House told 'suggest us yester(ay tnat the class extension idea must be presented a la statement to the faculty before .any official action could be taken. We know it would be asking ttoo much to desire a move on the part of the faculty of its ;wn accord. However, it is some thing to be desired. We don't -want the faculty to. think we're drying to cram something down :its throat, so we haven't pushed vthe idea more than to suggest. When the faculty does meet and the proposal for class ex tension is presented, there will undoubtedly be lots said on both sides. If nothing else is gained .and if the proposal is dropped, -we nevertheless feel that some thing has been accomplished in r our setting forth a plan backed "with real student opinion. But we're not despairing. The students will be heard when the faculty discusses the idea. Then let the faculty act. CLEANING . Jack Pool's move HOUSE m aPPmtmg the committee on ac tivities and improvement natur ally tickles us to death, because Tve have consistently maintained that something must be done to straighten out the administra tive mess which we call "stu , dent government." .Not that the committee is a panacea for campus ills. But it is indubitably a step toward some amelioration of conditions such as were evidenced several times last year. We hope the committee's re port burns the thing up. If nothing else, it should be able to present the facts of govern mental bungling which in them selves, without elaboration, should speak well for a consti tution to allocate power where it belongs.

Under the leadership of Win throp Durfee, some 25 students pledged membership in the na tional body which stands for the defense of American principles against fascism and socialism. Durfee Made Head Durfee, who was elected presi dent of the chapter here last night, made it clear that the or ganization here will use all its power "to prove to North Caro lina and the nation that this University is not a 'hotbed' of radicalism."

But we can't figure out what is wrong with the inmates down there "who can't remember answering the thing. During our recent investiga tion of the dormitory situation. "we had occasion to see over 40 Per cent of Everett's inhabi tants. None of these ever saw the questionnaire, which Dean Bradshaw has as a testimony in favor of the Everett system (it was very favorably thought of, according to 'the poll). Questionnaires are not very Practicable means of sounding out student opinion, because they are usually "yes" and "no" questions. Maybe , the answers ere so short that the Everett ites forgot giving them.

GROUP TO COMPILE USEFUL MATERIAL' Appointment Comes as Result of President Pool's Pre-Cam-paign Platform. CREATIVE DANCES TO BE PRESENTED TOMORROW NIGHT New Reporters Any member of the student body interested in doing repor- torial work on the Daily Tar Heel may call by the publica tion office today or tomorrow between 2:30 and 3:30 o'clock to see the city editor. Hampton Institute Group Will Offer Interpretative Program Under Auspices of "Y." INCLUDE AFRICAN DANCES Under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., the Hampton Institute Dance Group will present their program of creative and inter pretive dances in Memorial hall tomorrow evening at 7:30 o clock. The first half of the urogram has been divided into two s-en eral parts : "The Cycle of the -Depression" and "Dances of the People." 'The Cycle of the Depres sion is composed from the study of economic struggles in tfte world which is comparable to the general struggles of man to win freedom from his enslav ing factors. Folk Dances Under "Dances of the Peo pie," folk dances are used which are characteristic of different European nationalities. The native dances of Russia, Poland. and Italy are represented in this division, along with a character study of the Gypsies. After these will be a sroun oi native African dances which include "Ya Ma Wisee" in which the visit 'of God to an Af rican tribe is shown, "The Beg gar's Dance," depicting the wandering African beggars as they pass through villages in groups of two or three singiner and dancing for the amusement of the crowd, and the wedding ceremony which is called "Wvo Mamie." Modern Trencfs In the latter part of the pro gram, the dance turns to a more modern trend in the "Design Moderne," which takes form in lines peculiar to modern influ ence in art. Cutting the Sugar Cane ' by Shawn is a vivid por trayal of a phase of Cuban life. The admission for this per formance has been set at 25 cents. A special section will be reserved for Negroes. The possibility that Carolina student government will finally become organized seemed immi nent with yesterday's action on the part of Jack Pool, new stu dent body head. A committee on activities and improvements, headed by ex-student body President Har per Barnes, was appointed yes terday by Pool to look intn tfcA advisability of a written consti tution for local student Govern ment, among other things. Extra-Curriculars "I do not ask this commits necessarily to submit- a written constitution," Pool explained yesterday, "What I do wish is material which might be useful in compiling a manual on extra curricular activities of the cam pus." , Members of the group besides Barnes are Haywood Weeks, Mayne Albright, Phil Hammer. Fred Weaver, Joe Suffarman. Albert Ellis, Frank Willinfrham. and Francis Fairley. Tar Heel Campaign The Daily Tar Heel is car rying on a vigorous camnai tm for a written constitution for Carolina student government. The appointment of the present committee came as a result of Pool's pre-campaign platform and governmental connections as much as from the newspa per's crusade, however. "For some time," PooUwent on yesterday, "I have felt that there has been a need for clari fication as to the definite respon sibilities of the campus organi zation and the relation of one or ganization to another. I believe that a brief statement would (Continued on page three) WAR DISCUSSION AGITATES LEAGUE MacFarland, Magill Speak, Sup ported by Woodhouse, Fra zer, Stoney, Bahnson. Facing competition from the Daily Tar Heel banquet on the other side of the partition and surrounded on a mythical plat form by Mr. Woodhouse (he once beat out Calvin Coolidz for mayor of Northampton. Mass.), Don McKee, and Don Becker, George MacFarland cave Chapel Hill its first taste of what the Iowa plan can reallv do for public meetings. He was preceded by Bob Ma- gill's 10-minute short on current happenings across the seas, a talk which was comprehensive yet to the point and something new to the Foreign Policv League. Neutrality Problem MacFarland gave a decidedly intelligent presentation of the neutrality problem which has done so much to draw the Unit ed States into past wars. He started out by saying that our government can't ignore public opinion and get away with it. As a result our foreign policy is dictated by the "state of mind" of the people, a state of mind which has been opposed since pioneer days to kowtowing to a foreign government. His part ing shot was that the United (Continued on page two)
