Apron Strings-
Two college professors, representing opposite schools of
'thought, often locked horns with each other on academic
questions.
One evening a few students were invited out to the home
of one of the profs. Both professors were there. They threw
some intellectual bait to the students hoping to discover
from the ensuing conversation how much of their respective
teachings were understood.
The conversation, however, was soon monopolized by the
two professors. They debated hotly until past midnight,
their students enjoying the entertainment immensely.,
One student left the house that night more than enter
tained. That student was Lincoln Steffens.
He had heard two highly trained, well-educated men argue
and disagree on every essential point of thought and knowl
edge. Neither had been able to present an acceptable con
clusion. Neither knew what knowledge was. Neither could
offer a basis of ethics.
In the chapter, "I become a Student," in his autobiography,
Steffens says that he became a student only after he had
learned that getting an education depended largely on his
own initiative. The college class room was helpful but far
from sacred.
Professors and text books could guide him and furnish
him with useful knowledge and experience. But they were
not unimpeachable, and far from complete.
College education was something far more rigorous and
exciting than mental regurgitation of lecture notes on
quizzes.
It became an individual responsibility. Professors and
books were means, not ends.
Everything in the world remains to be done, or done over.
That is how Steffens felt when he became a student. A
college education became the chance to do something signi
ficant. A "student" does not allow himself to be cut out into
little academic patterns. He does not suffer under the de
. lusion that the M. A.'s and the Ph.D's have a monopoly on
the world's intellectual treasures.
To Steffens, a fellow became a student when he untied
his mind and soul from the accepted educational apron strings
and became an independent thinker and an adventurous
spirit.. '
0 One Combination Closer
Yesterday the Carolina League for International Coopera
tion and the Foreign Policy League met jointly and consoli
dated the two former organizations into the' International
Relations club.
This cuts five words and one organization from the huge
list of extra curricular groups on the campus. '
There are other activity groups here that might efficiently
combine.
Their leaders will do the campus a service, if they follow
the CLIC-FPL's example. W. K.
0 Hog-Killing Time
Ninety per cent of all college students "cram" for exami
nations. '' s
And the average student loses two pounds in weight dur
ing finals. Which means that three tons of flesh will vanish
from the Carolina campus between now and June 4th.
Perhaps the loss of weight won't be important, and per
haps the strain of cramming isn't too much for student
minds, but a head start on the studying right now will save
a lot of grades and trouble. W. K.

MONEY-MAKER
In a burst of ambition, Percy
Quinlan, our nice but tough
wrestling coach, once pulled a
stunt that some undergraduate
jobless might try this summer.
Quinny and a pal strolled into
a meeting of the town board at
Hampton Beach,
New Hamp
shire, just as it
was time for the
board to choose
ocean-front life
'guards for the
season.
"We'll work,"
they said, "for
nothing. Provided you furnish
board and room and agree to a
couple of projects we have in
mind." The board was delighted.
One project was life-saving
classes during spare hours, to
which many a New Hampshir
ite subscribed.
The other was a "Life Guard's
Tag Day" a day toward the
end of the season when Quinny
& pal got some bathing beauties
to pass hats to get everyone's
voluntary contribution for the
guards who had given their time
free. The crafty pair had court
ed popular favor by giving free
mass exercise classes periodical
ly to as many as 5,000 bathers
at once.
Come end of the season: hats
overflowed with money for Life
saver Quinlan and friend. There
were hundreds of dollars, and in
rash moments Quinny will say
even thousands.
He likes to keep the story
quiet for fear he'll be caught for
back taxes.
BEER BUST
A bright spot on the week
end's calendar should be Delta
Psi's stag beer party on the
shores of Hogan's Lake.
To a campus water-logged
with dancing, cocktailing, and
formalizing, a bust for gents
only sounds like a rescuing
phone call at a pink tea party.
MATCH MAKER
Robert Perkins, master match
maker, names the following stu
dents and townfolk as the first
on Dan Cupid's list for the sum
mer: Nancy Schallert, Sherman
Smith, Rebecca Jordan, Helen
Packard, Warren Haddaway.

Windsor, Mistress Ford and Mis

letters to both of them. Once to
escape meeting Ford and Page,
Falstaff is crammed into a laun
dry basket, bumped roughly
along the streets, and finally
"like a Dutch dish, thrown into
the Thames and cool'd glowing
hot, in that surge, like a horse
shoe." Still undaunted the ad
venturous soldier-knight made
further attempts to win his
heart's desire only to be roundly
beaten one time within an inch
of his life and set upon by mali

Letters To The Editor
Over 100 Words Subject to Cutting
Send the Daily Tar Heel

If You've Got A CC
To the Editor,
Sir:
Following a report of the Sec
retary of the University Com
mittee on English Composition,
two motions were discussed and
passed two weeks ago. These mo
tions were:
1. That any student who re
ceives a composition condition
shall be required to take a diag
nostic test before the middle of
the following quarter, and his
registration for the second quar
ter following may not be com
pleted until he has taken that
test.
2. That, if the diagnostic test
shows that a conditioned stu
dent needs to take a course or
Laboratory work to remove his
condition, he must proceed ac
tively and systematically toward
the removal of his condition in
the second quarter following
that in which he receives it.
The Committee on English
Composition will interpret these
regulations as being effective in
the fall quarter, 1938. They
mean, in effect, that any stu
dent having a composition . con
dition now, or receiving one be
fore next fall, must take a diag
nostic test by the middle of the
fall quarter. If he does not take
that test by the end of the fall
quarter, he will not be allowed
to register in the University in
the winter quarter, 1939. They
mean, also, that any student fail
ing the diagnostic' test must im
mediately get to work to remove
his condition, and that if he is
not actively at work by the end
of the fall quarter, he may not
register in the University for the
winter quarter.
These motions were passed as
a means of stopping the present
practice among students weak
or careless in writing of post
poning any steps to remove defi
ciencies till tneir senior year,
hoping to accumulate all their
conditions and remove them all
at once. This canny philosophy,
however, defeats the purpose of
Ay
hi in tin 1
the condition grade, which is to
correct the student's writing
habits. According to this phi
losophy, the student would prac
tice incoherent or illiterate writ
ing for three or ifour years,
jump a hurdle, and get his de
gree. In the motions passed, the
faculty registers the opinion that
the student needs to jump the
hurdle as soon as it is perceived,
and then to practice good writ
ing for three or four years.
I may add, for the further in
formation of your readers, that
any conditioned student who
wishes to take the diagnostic
test this quarter may do so by
appearing in the CC Laboratory
and asking .for the test. The
Laboratory is open Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs
day evenings from 7 :30 to 9 :30.
(and Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday afternoons from 4:00 to
6 :00. The Laboratory is held in
Murphey 110.
Yours sincerely,
J.O.BAILEY,
Secretary, Univ. Com.
on Eng. Composition.

Couch Attends Press
Meeting This Week'.
W. T. Couch, director of the
University press attended the
meeting early this week of the
A i T- t 1 1
American isooKsener s conven
tion in New York City. Couch
represented the University press.
My psychology professor tells
me there are more crazy people
in insane asylums than there
are students in college. I think
it should be the other way
around. There are fewer stu
dents in insane asylums than
there are crazy people in col
lege. "
It hasn't always been this way.
Back before the days of the 8 :30
cla s s students
got lots of sleep
and weren't as
receptive to de
ma n i c depres
siveness, which
is a term we
psycholo gists
use for a certain
mental disease.
Career Man
I once knew a lad who wanted
to be a night watchman. So bad
ly did he want to follow that
career, that he came to college
to learn how. But they made
morning. ' He knew . he could
him take Math 3 at 8:30 in the
never learn to be a night watch
man that way.
Today he is one of the many;
students in insane asylums,
which is a good thing because it
helps to prove my point. If the
lad had wanted to be a day
watchman or if the system was a
little different,, perhaps he could
be spared, this misfortune.
Furthermore, says my psych
prof, one-third of all insane asy
lum inmates are dismissed be
fore totally cured. Most of these
then teach mathematics or philo
sophy. The rest of them prefer
to go back to the asylum.
On the other hand, many stu
dents are dismissed from college
before they are totally cured.
Some of these become successes
in later life. The rest of them
prefer not to go back to school.
That isn't so crazy, is it?
However, some types of insan
ity can be cured. Of course, the
more serious types like aphasia
communisma, studia libris, and
professorus collegius can never
be cured.
