o The Vice Presidency
The political ball is rolling and rolling fast. It will not be
long before the Student and University parties write in on
their tickets their , choices for student body vice-president.
There may even be an Independent or two who will soon step
forward for campus consideration.
Since the function of the vice-president has changed fun
damentally in the past year, with the institution of a student
legislature, it is well to prepare the minds of the campus con
stituency to the qualifications which a vice-presidential can
didate must have if he is to perform his new duties effici
ently. In the past, the vice-presidency has been primarily an hon
orary position, one to which the campus elected a man whom
it felt worthy of high recognition. His duties have consisted
in serving on the Student Council and acting as chairman of
the freshmen Honor Council. These duties have, of course,
demanded two qualifications: (1) a vital concern for the
maintenance of Carolina's codes, and (2) an elementary
knowledge of how to conduct a 5 group meeting. Neither of
the vice-president's former duties have demanded "full
time" extra-curricular activity on his part.
Now, the vice-president, not only carries the above-mentioned
responsibilities, but heads the supreme legislative
, body of campus student government. As chairman of the
legislature, he must be a skillful parliamentarian and, more,
must take a leading part in the moulding of government pro
gram. He must, have the time and the desire to keep a finger
on the pulse of campus opinion and activity.
It is only fair to the man elected and to the campus, as well,
that next year's vice-president have these qualifications,
necessary to handle increased and more complex responsibilities.
o Movie Education
Hollywood, movie capital of the world, has come a long
way since the early days of the slapstick comedies and melo
dramatic thrillers. With the growth and perfection of the art
of motion pictures has come a corresponding sense of aware
ness and responsibility on the part of those who produce our
picturestoward not merely furnishing us with the best in
entertainment, but of educating the general public along lines
of necessary action.
It might be said without fear of contradiction that the
motion picture industry is a more powerful and far-reaching
moulder of public opinion than any other single source of in-
formation with perhaps the exception of our newspapers. And
it is a debatable point whether or not even our daily papers
persuade and mark out our lines of thought as forcefully and
actively and quickly as do the films we see.
That this might be an insidious, method of propaganda
potentially a devestating weapon in the hands of the un
scrupulous, may readily be seen.
But Hollywood, to a great extent, has lived up to an un
written trust. It has given us beauty and peace and relaxa
tion; and yet it has done so much more than that. "Winter
set" and "Dead End" revealed conditions that appaled us ;
"Blockade" and "Dawn Patrol" showed us the tragic pathos
of war, by which nothing is really gained, and always the best
To Tell Tlie Trtitli
By AB2IAN S?rss
Johnny Jones is a student at Chapel
Hill interested in sociology. He has
taken courses dealing with modern
conditions and 'he feels that something
is wrong. Johnny Jones has read
books upon the matter in spare mo
ments, and he has learned a few sta
tistics. You would call him an up-to-
date young college boy of sensitivity
and with a feeling of responsibility to
ward the lack of balance in the land
about him. And he is Johnny Jones,
a student at Chapel Hill interested in
sociology.
Recently he has enrolled for volun
tary service in a new function of the
ocal Extension Division. It is the
work of combating illiteracy, of
eaching diverse subjects to tinder-
privileged and forgotten people.
Johnny Jones is interested in
pathology and he chose to teach the
convicts. He is one of of a group
which goes- -to Hillsboro each Tues
day and Thursday night to the prison
camp there. And he is part of a move
ment for -the extension of learning.
And johnny Jones, who is interested
in sociology, has found already that
learning the great democratic thing
is still the younger son in a money
aristocracy.
Johnny Jones sat with the prisoners
while they saw two educational
movies. Then some of the men left
the room. Some of them remained,
and they were the ones who wanted
learning. They sat with students like
Johnny Jones and spoke of their in
terests of what they wanted to be
taught, f lessons which had escaped
them along their pathetic path to the
Hillsboro convict camp. Some of them
were bitter and some of them-were
eager. And all of them were sitting in
a penalty box for "crimes" against
the state.
Now Johnny Jones is going to teach
some simple lessons to a few of these
men. He is going to bring them books
from our University library, and he is
going to help interpret them. He is
interested in Sociology and he is do
ing a fine service to a few men. Just
as the general plan of the University
Extension is a fine thing.
But we wonder who is learning
most from these visits to the Hillsboro
prison camp. Js it the prisoners
some of them bitter and some of them
eager? Or is it Johnny Jones, who
is interested in Sociology? We hope
that it is Johnny, for he is young and
intelligent, and he wants to help peo
ple in this state. We hope that he has
heard the stories of these men in a
penalty box, and that he is learning of
the conditions which put them there.
And we hope that he takes his les
sons back to the dormitory, and that
he takes them back to his home town.
Johnny Jones is sitting with men
who missed the opportunity to learn.
Some place, somewhere they were
kept in ignorance, and pushed into
squalid circles that roll with increas
ing volume to the inevitable sewer.
And Johnny Jones is talking to men
past the borders of economic inte
grity, men who were forced to steal
a supper from Society and ended up
in her penalty box. We hope that he
is seeing some of the injustice of
weak people forced to stumble along
alone. For Johnny Jones is pushing
against old complications of neglect
when he . guides a convict hand.
Johnny Jones is a student at Chapel
Hill interested in Sociology. Teaching
convicts is commendable, but going
out to scrub the dirt that brought
them to Hillsboro is the ideal. And
this is what Johnny Jones must do.
For he must not be, as W. H. Auden
says, "Lecturing on navigation while
the ship is going down."

They Say
HORACE WILLIAMS once ap
peared before a committee in defense
of one of his students whose thesis
was rejected because it lacked foot
notes. "The other day a friend of
mine asked me to come over and see
his baby," he said. "I did. When I
walked into the nursery I noticed that
every article was marked. The crib
was labeled at the foot with its manu
facturer's trade mark, the blankets
were cornered with a store mark. In
fact, everything in the room was
marked except the most important
thing: the baby." .
Yes, the thesis was accepted.

PHILLIPS RUSSELL says that "it
isn't how much you get out of my
courses but how much you put into
them that counts. I can't teach you,
but I can learn you.' That is, I am
like the football coach sitting on the
sidelines, criticizing and offering sug
gestions' That makes a touchdown much
more easier to make.

S. H. HOBBS, JR. tells his classes
in rural socjal economics that grades
are so much bunk. "If it were not for
the University administration requir
ing grades for its records," he says,
"I would not give a mark on a course
I teach."
And there are others who feel the
same way.
ARCHIBALD HENDERSON asked
a math student, "What is nothing?"
The student replied, "Zero." "No, no,"
Dr. Henderson said, and scribbled a
circle on the blackboard. "That is
zero." Then he erased the circle and
said, "That is nothing." -Which
about sums up everything.
PROFF KOCH: "Did you know the
New York Times carried an article

O. J. COFFIN: "You've got to
cuss to get anything out of this life,
Of course it would be mighty pleas
ant if you never had to say anything
unpleasant to your fellowman. But as
things are, you've got to cuss to get
anything done."
Skipper should have everything.

pression: "The purpose of a teacher
is to make a teacher unnecessary."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WILL
of both sides is irreparably lost; and did not "Lost Horizon"
: send us away with a new and secret hope in our hearts that,
if we but would if we cared enough, and strove enough, we
too might not have our Shangri-La?
So, let us not underestimate the value of motion pictures as
a popular source of the philosophies of the great majority
of our people, for it is undeniable that the average theater
goer is more swayed by what he sees and hears in the movies
than by almost any other medium available to him. He goes
to it with an open mind; he relaxes; he is not on guard or
mentally on, the defensive as he may be under other circum
stances. This being true, may we hope that Hollywood will continue
to produce, for its own best interests and those of the Amer
ican people, pictures which will sway the citizens of this na
tion toward tolerance, simplicity, practical idealism and the
preservation of the integrity of our heritage.

O THE MAGAZINE'S PURPOSE
To the Editor,
Dear Sir:
Reactions to the January issue ti
The Carolina Magazine have been
such that I believe a clarification cf
the stand of the editors is called for.
In his editorial "What is Liberal
ism?" the day after the Magazine
came out, Allen Merrill implied
strongly that we were a group of radi
cals attempting to shove something
down the throat of the rest of tie
campus.
By definition we have never been
that, and never hope to be. The day
the campus reaches the position where
it is possible for us to stuff things
down its throat that day we quit.
From the beginning the attitude of
this editorial regime has been that of
suggesting vto the campus lines of
thought along which the campus may
or may not wish to go. We hope sin
cerely that no student thinks along
the lines of The Carolina Magazine,
merely because The Carolina Maga
zine has taken a particular position.
Our attempt has been in the past, and
will continue to be in the future, to
raise questions in the hope that dis
cussion will be started and students
will be persuaded to think for them
selves on the issues raised.
We hope that the definitions of
liberalism in the last issue made some
people think clarify their own posi
tions at least. And that is all we can
ever hope to accomplish.
Sincerely yours,
EDITORS, The Carolina Magazine.

now they number about 2,000, repre
senting all nations, periods, and styles.
Vocal, choral, and instrumental com
binations range in form from Greg
orian chants to operatic and orches
tral works.
OPEN TO STUDENTS
The record library is open to the
student body; however, records are
checked out to be used only in the
building. The records are assembled
in albums, each album containing
records of the same general character,
with a catalogue to guide the user,
and "there are now three other phono
graphs in the building besides the
one that was donated with the set.
The University was one of several
schools throughout the country
thought worthy to receive such a set
for the study and promotion of music.
The Woman's college of the Univer
sity also is in possession of one.
