For This Issue: NEWS: BILL SNIDER SPORTS: GENE WILLIAMS o Liberalism Formulated Last night an- open forum on liberalism was held in Gra ham Memorial. This forum represented on the part of the students an effort to define for themselves and to discuss among themselves the active meaning of the term "liberal ism" as opposed to the passivity of accepting, someone else's ideas on the subject. 7 Liberalism is, as are all isms, a very convenient catch phrase. It is a word that explains little excuses mucl, it is so often a Utopian theory rather than a sensible practice. Radicals are alb too prone to call constructive but sensible conservatism "lack of liberalism." And old Persian proverb tells us that "A wise term in the mouths of fools is dangerous as a crooked spear." Four men spoke on last night's panel . . . four men promi nent in campus thought and activity. That these men have clarified for themselves their own beliefs on the subject of liberalism is undoubtedly an aid for them as they mould or pursue their own philosophies. But little beyond their1 own benefit will have accrued if students on the campus do not take advantage of the oppor tunity to attend such discussions. For and mental profit to be gained it is necessary that meetings of this sort be attended, and (a most important parallel) an active part taken in them. And this activity consists in buckling down to the business of formulating clearly in one's own mind the true meanings of the various terms that are hurled hither and yon, some times as offensive weapons and sometimes as banners. To no two people will this understanding and definition be exactly alike, but that it can be helpful to.them that it can pay divi dends in mental clarity and intelligent action is perfectly obvious.- 1 o Political Machinery r "The present political situation on the campus has become quite disconcerting," wrote a campus reformer who in a let ter to yesterday's Tar Heel recommended a half-dozen ways of mechanically improving Carolina's, politics. Machinery can both free and shackle an individual or so ciety. For example, the mechanical revolution has liberated men as never before from the 24-hour a day duty of making a' living, ti has made possible individual leisure, free time. On the other hand it has, in many instances, made him sub ject to the machine. His life has become dependent on the caprices of, machine industry and, in turn, he has been shackled. - The philosophy of our democratic student government is such as to encourage student initiative and. freedom and to discourage impediments of unnecessary machinery. The lack of "legal" political. machinery, however, has mani fested itself in obviously "disconcerting" situations; "Small powerful groups have recently manaeuvered in a manner as to practically appoint a campus off icer. The fact that their power makes the election of any other candidate unlikely. may serve as an example of how lack of machinery may "shackle" the free choice of many individuals. On the other hand, the lack of mechanical Legislature control has made the full entrance "of an independent possible.

This time it may be my turn to either amuse or annoy someone I fear the reaction will be dubious. To - get into' a jnore serious vein, though, let me say that I have struck on something which may interest some of your readers the athletes at least! It has been my observation in the past few months, that the average boy out for athletics, the ones who are. fortunate enough to be on the squads, for instance, spend a great deal of . time participating in their chosen field. Whether or not you are in favor with this, it must be admitted that the situation does exist. The pri mary sports, football, basketball, baseball, and track are an important and emphasized feature of our college life. We are apt at times, to com ment on the fact that4our athletes are no scholastic prizes. This latter fact may be true but I maintain that when such a large percentage of one's time is spent in extra-curricular activity, it takes a boy with better than the aver age ability to achieve good grades . . . and to acquire sufficient credit towards graduation in four years So, why, not do something like this. Give credit in Physical Education, most athletes major, for all varsity men and second team participants in the major sports. Since the average bask etball player, for instance, spends a minimum of 15 hours a week in the gym, plus what class work he looses when trips are necessary, I think he should get regular five hour credit the winter quarter for his endeavors. As to grades, if they are deemed necessary, a satisfactory method could be worked out 'I'm sure. Maybe A's for the varsity and B's for the sec ond team. Something could be worked out there without too much difficulty, I believe. Since the major sports fall in sepa rate quarters, an athlete would. only be getting" a fair amount of credit for his rigorous services. If such a sys tem were not abused, I think that it would prove to be of great value, in a liberal institutional system. Although I fear that this sugges tion will not find favor with the scholastic brain trust on campus, I feel that my idea is worthy of a lit tle pro and con publically. Thank you, and more later if de sired. Sincerely, Stewart E. de Gaetano Hail and Beware By HENRY NIGRELL1 I have been asked to name this column, "Hell and Despair." O. K. Fine Suggestion. -' A call was received last week in Graham Memorial from a woman. She wanted to know when Thor Martin Johnson's orchestra was playing. She was told that he was playing Thurs day night. Then she proceeded to ask, "Is he playing for any of the dances?" She was told that Johnson had a clasi cal orchestra. She replied, "Oh! I for got that they don't dance to clasical music any more." TIME MARCHES ON! Lee Welfare (freshman) decided that he would like to improve his looks, so he dyed his hair blond. After a week or so, he discovered that he had to go home for some reason or other. Realizing that he couldn't pre sent himself as a blond, he proceeded to restore the natural color of his hair. He used two bottles of brown liquid on his hair and then took a shower. He came out of the shower a distinct red-head! Says Lee, "Joan Bennett has nothing on me!" Chaucer describes Billy Campbell: "Nowher so bisy a man as ther nas, and yet he seemed bisier than he was." -.

Wednesday Miss Otero On National Tour (Continued from first page) bright youthful quality to it that adds to its charm. And with it goes the warm temperament that makes es pecially captivating her singing of the lively Spanish numbers such as were included on her program." ACCLAIMED Not only has Miss Otero received acclaim on her current tour of the nation, but she has also been heralded in her last Spring's appearance in Eu rope. The countries that she first visit ed were the Scandinavian group. At Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinefors. and Oslo, public demand warranted a second concert. Then she sang in Brussels, The Hague, and Amsterdam. Unon con cluding a broadcast in the latter city, she was reengaged. The culmination of her tour was reached, however. when she appeared in Paris. Her au dience included many well-known fig ures in the diplomatic and entertain ment world. ; . ON SUNDAY HOUR Upon her return to America, Miss Otero rewarded for her European suc cess by being engaged to sing on the Ford Sunday Evening Hour. Since last fall, she has been touring the country. . When she appears in Memorial Hall next Monday night, she will be accom panied by Frank LaForge, who is also her instructor. After the Lowell con cert, the following tribute was paid to the voice teacher: "Her (Miss Otero) voice has developed remarkablv under the guidance of LaForge, who accom panied her on the European tour and has done much toward -her rapid pro gress m vocal attainments and also in the important matter of interpreta tion. She was fortunate, indeed, last night m having his artistic support at the piano. For his skill and dissern- ment in that branch of the musical art the composer-pianist is internationally iamous." ' ' to petition the Legislature would, of course, limit this pos sibility. - , However, the campus has become so politically complex and large in scope that any machinery which would discour age the monopoly of political practise by a few would en courage the freedom of "practise" by the many, should be considered. -: The writer's recommendation therefore that public party caucuses be held, and held at specific time, would discourage the prevalent competitive race for particular candidates and permit students as a whole to participate more freely in their nomination.
