Lalanne Out of the maelstrom that arose over the suspension of star quarterback Jim Lalanne are two major questions that must be answered. 1) Was the action taken by the Student council against La lanne fair? 2) Did the University admin istration do the right thing when J what was already known. they over-stepped the Council's Professor Godfrey must Lalanne, the news got out that he was not in school because University officials said he was not scholasticaHy eligible. This threw the burden of the false hood on the administration,- who because they are supported by the state, must, trn mif n-P their . , , , , student clutched at his face with a way to keep things above board. nt w; oh TjCr(, hfk Therefore the Daily Tar Heel thinks the administration was The First Glimmer A first column is like our local DKE house which needs only a well-placed "U" in its name to send it from the realm of the enlightened into a Caro lina man's idea of degradation. We hope we can disperse with the "U's" and the double "O's" in this first ef fort and enlighten you with a few gleams about things we know of life on the Hill. Fireworks Salute While on the subject of nearby schools, we offer Duke congratulations on the completion and dedication of her new gymnasium which, through the courtesy of Pasadena dough, is re portedly two feet longer and one yard wider than our local Woollen gym- , nasium. Thus is the slender margin of I man's satisfaction measured by two feet a yard. . . . And salutes too for the University's newy dining hall which should serve all of us quite adequate ly as a new year's gift. The foun tain service will fill a long-needed va-1 cancy among .the little things that make dances in the Tin Can such a pleasure. What's better than a glori fied intermission party in the hall across the street? The Glow of the Week Among the numerous perennial stories that arise inevitably when ex ams roll around, is the following sad tale which interspersed with diminish ing returns and Plato's dialogue reach ed our ears last December. It seems that the University Power company, our generator which purrs away un noticed behind Phillips hall, lost a cog or blew a fuse one tragic night dur ing exam week several years ago. .The catastrophe of'blackout was avoided until two o'clock in the morning at which time one half-crazed student sat sweating over his books down in Bing ham hall. He was one of those trust ing souls, perfectly confident that one night's dance at a quarter's work would suffice. And he had been taking that one glance for almost six hours straight with the result that his head was bit balmy and his eyes a little blurred. The violent stage was ap proaching. As the two o'clock hour drew near, with amazing slowness the lights in the classroom grew dim.

We think the Council did the only thing they could do. La lanne was guilty of violating the Honor Code and admitted it. They were probably rather len ient, considering what they ' might have done with a student with less value to the grid ma chine. Lalanne was more than likely under the nervous strain stated and he deserved sympathetic consideration, but, we wonder if other code violators of less ap parent worth to the school haven't been the victim of psy chological strife, too. However, we want to com mend the Council for quite hu man judgment and believe that we would have done the same thing. But they didn't realize that such action could not be concealed. They even withheld their usual report that a junior had been suspended. Jim Lalanne is a person of na tional importance in the sports world. This must be remembered. The papers and news agencies of the state and nation want to know and will know anything that happens to him it's news. That is one of the curses of being prominent. Joe Doakes might slip on a bar of soap and skin his elbow and no one would know of it because they wouldn't care. But if Carl Hubbell or Hedy Lamar did the same thing the world would know of it whether Hubbell and Lamar wanted the facts known or not. As it happened in the case of quite right in releasing the true facts of the case. To a great ex tent, it was a matter of printing be commended for his understand ing interpretation of the matter, for he certainly went out of his way to be fair. Such an intelligent insight could be used by some of the rest of the faculty. , The whole case of James La lanne, gridiron star, we believe has been settled satisfactorily. If we don't sound too much like the pulps, "justice has been done." At least Lalanne thinks so. GRAIL Helps Local Sick People is A Christmas donation of $75 to the Orange county board of welfare was made by the Order of the Grail, and President Paul Thompson saw fit to explain it to the student body. "Although it is the Grail's policy to turn back to the campus all receipts from ,our scriDt dances, the Order donated this fund to the town because of its apparent need and because of the fact that -many townspeople regularly patronize the dances." The money, Thompson ex plained, was used by the welfare board to furnish milk for two tubercular patients for three months, to fit glasses for five under-privileged persons, and to supply food for several tubercu lar families. True, it is the custom of the Grail to return to the campus all the money earned from dances. But departure from the usual procedure in such a case as this is not only to be "explained" and justified, but it should further be highly commended. ed, "I've gone blind!" And that among other things what can happen in exam week. Spotlight On The News The local infirmary is preparing for a flu epidemic in Chapel Hill by acquiring extra beds. The sortthroat fever-cold scourge has already struck in many parts of the state neces sitating the closing of schools,, city and county, in many sections. Duke's Pan Hell council tried to sign Glenn Miller and his orchestra, the current rage, for its next dance set, but the asking price of $4,000 proved too stiff. . . . Having signed its contracts with Glen Gray early last week, the local German club finds it impossible to switch dates in favor of comprehensives. Money his already changed hands, it is reported. . . . "Gone With the Wind" will play at the local Carolina theater some time in February for days with all seats reserved which means tickets must be purchased in advance. The single admission price is 75c for a tech nicolor session lasting well over four hours. 1 Playmakers Film Club To Show French Movie At Theater Today The Playmakers Film dlub wil pre sent "Grand Illusion", a French film of exceptional merit, this afternoon at 2:30 in the Playmakers Theater as the first offering of their winter pro gram.

It deals with life in a prison camp, where the dry rot of inaction seizes both those confined within the bars and the offi cials who have the duty of keeping them there.

NEWSROOM CLINIC Following Mr. Allen's address Fri day morning, John W, Harden, news editor of the Salisbury Evening Post, will conduct a newsroom clinic, to be followed by a roundtable discussion. W.

Dwire, director of public relations at Duke, will preside, and President Horner will speak briefly before Mr. MacKenzie begins his address. Mr. Likely, the featured speaker Saturday morning, will talk on a favorite topic, "How Much Is A News paper Worth?" Fritz Kreisler (Continued from first page) so I cannot say which I prefer. In the matter of violins I am and always will be polygamous." But no' matter how great his love for them is, Kreisler insists upon spending at least four or five months a year away from his violins. "I never play in the summer," he says. "Be tween May and October, I just rest Jt does me a lot of good, too, I think, tnougn 1 don't know that I ought to prescribe it for other violinists. They might probably lose avcertain amount of skill and power. What surprises me in myself is that I return to my violins in the fall with the same joy ana vigor with which I left them." The Editor Sir: Recently there has been much pub licity concerning the suspension of Jim Lalanne. We feel that the fairest and most human thing to do under the cir cumstances would have been to keep the matter quiet. As has been point ed out, Lalanne was under sereve ner vous strain, which caused him to act differently than under normal condi tions. We are not upholding Lalanne's action; we think that he could have found a better remedy. But we do be lieve that the Honor Council could have shown more tact by quieting the af fair and dealing solely with Lalanne rather than with the public. If the incident had occurred to John J. Jones or anybody besides such a well known and well liked personally as Lalanne, there never would have been this publicity. It is injurious to the University and it certainly makes the ordeal more painful for Jim. The persons who are responsible for the outlet of this information should be dealt with more severely than the vic tim. Drastic steps should be taken to see that it doesn't happen again. Fred Dock David Fiske B. B. Hampton, Jr. P.S.: We'll probably get our throats cut, but this is a free country and when a good man gets a raw deal, something should be done. Sir: . ' I enjoyed your editorial "Dolled Up" in Saturdy's Daily Tar Heel. In it you ask why the Library should not be lighted by floodlights as it was last fall. May I, as an authority on floodlight ing (ask any English 81 student), suggest two things that were wrong with the floodlighting of the library? (1) The lights were all planted where they shone directly at the front doors of the building, so that everyone leaving the library found himself blind ed by a glare. Good floodlighting keeps the lights themselves inconspicious and does not floodlight the spectators. (2) The lights were ail planted "front and center" so that the build- , ing seemed to have no depth and no dome. What could be done? I think the Li brary would be beautifully lighted if the porch lights were turned on and if the dome were floodlighted from searchlights mounted at the corners of the roof of the building. Domes flood light unusually well. I don't know how the light on top of the bell tower will fit into such a scheme. I'm ready to start, a subscrip tion to buy a cannon and shoot the cone off the bell tower, never hav ing been impressed with the appro priateness of honoring our alumni by erecting a gigantic foolscap to them.

In contrast to the $94,000 spent for remodelling, only $36,000 was required to put up the building, according to President Ven able's report in February, 1902. The $36,000 was obtained through the first extensive canvass heldby University alumni for funds, and because of the drive, the building was given the name of Alumni building. The building was built to house the University administration, but before the administration moved out in 1926, it shared the rooms with philosphy and journalism classes and the build ings department in the basement.
