Gannett, New York newspaper chain owner who has announced his candidacy for the GOP presi dential nomination, will come to town today. ' Declared by local Republicans and the, Carolina Political union to be a hell-and-brimstone critic of the New Deal, Gannett will probably deliver just such an at tack on FDR and company. We don't think the New York publisher has a chance, either in the Republican convention- or the national elections. But his publicity corps have turned out some clever work. They should send it to more gullible people than fellow-newspapermen. The pre-speech publicity the Daily Tar Heel received is en titled, "Frank Gannett Front Page News from Coast to Coast." Listed below a map of the Unit ed States are the banners of 68 newspapers, from the Minneapo lis Morning Tribune to the Tuc son Daily Citizen. Below this is the line, "The Nation's Press Weighs the Gannett-for-Presi-dent Candidacy." To the casual reader, the" lay out seems to scream that 68 leading papers are backing Pub lisher Gannett. Inside the 18-j page buff sheet is a carefully: planned, jumble of photostatic clippings. These clippings are all ably are given enough space to be legible as is quite natural. Nevertheless, the layout gives the appearance of an overwhelm ing newspaper editorial support for Gannett. From his previous, speeches and appearances, we believe what the Republicans and CPU say to be true. And as an ar dent representative of a definite viewpoint on national affairs wS welcome Publisher Gannett to our campus and to the long list of imposing speakers that the CPU have provided for us. MARRIAGE On Your Mark, Bachelors The sixth annual Conference on Conservation of Marriage and the Family, drawing delegates from all over the nation, wil start here today and continue through Friday. . Authorities on marriage, the family and sociology will attend and present a variety of views on the subjects under discussion. The teaching of marriage in col leges is a comparatively new practice. Old-fashioned preju dices have had to be broken down. The University of North Caro lina has been a pioneer in this movement and has on its faculty one of the outstanding authori ties in the nation, Dr. Ernest Groves, who will direct the con ference. Under No C ensor ft- ' i Marriage is a subject about of Garmetfs speeches made durhich lthe bachelor-ridden ing his one month airplane cam paign around the country. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, he stated that the would-be dictators in Washington must go, and in Bos ton Gannett urged that Roose velt must be impeached and that he (Gannett) would drive "bol sheviks and pinks" out of the Capitol. Other headlines ran: "Gannett Hits Wagner Law," "New Deal Leading to Ruin Gannett," "Freedom or Slavery to State Only .Choice, Lions Group Told," and "Scrap 'New Dealism' and Try Americanism, Gannett Urges Here." The back page of the release is a splurge of editorial comment, reproduced like the rest. At least 70 comments are listed, but only the few that treat Gannett favor- Daily Tar Heel know little, but if you are interested in the mat ter of matrimony we recommend the upcoming conference. - GOP Aspirant (Continued from first page) merited that the sole purpose of Gan nett's campaign has been to win the New York state delegation away from crime-buster, and more recently New Deal buster, Thomas E. Dewey. With the large delegation from his home state under his control, the Roches ter publisher would be able to shift his support to either Taft or Vanden berg, with the political reward coming in the form of the vice-presidential candidacy or a cabinet post, v , Louisiana State university authori ties recently had to publish the names of 35 students who had neglected to collect wages due them for NYA work. By DON BISHOP About as far back as the oldest native can remember University stu dents have been petitioning, editoraliz ing, declaiming, resolution-passing, and just plain cussing about the need for social rooms in dormitories. To date, their efforts have netted re ception rooms in the new dormitories and in Carr building. "We have been advocates of the drive for social rooms. We still have nopes tnat some day every dormi tory may have one. .But just now there is some talk of an alternative. There is a general belief that the University admin istration wants to spend as much money as it can to improve dormi tories. But it is confronted with two needs for funds in this respect: (1) Social rooms are wanted and needed. (2) Better furniture in the dormitories is also needed. If the University concentrates on creating social rooms, it may be forc ed to forego some of the needed im provements in each individual room. To establish social rooms in the 11 men's dormitories which do not now have them, the University would have to set aside at least one room in each building which is now being rented. The cost would amount to $1,512 a year in rents lost. Add to this the approximate $300 per social room $3,300 total which would have to be expended to furnish the rooms. This alternative has been heard: Why not let the social room matter rest awhile and instead push the need or better beds, chairs, desks, bu reaus, and, best of all, at least one comfortable easy chair to each room? (If you happen to be living in a ower quadrangle room you can see he logic of a drive for new and mod ern furniture.) Such a program for action by the Interdormitory council and other in terested groups would not be a sur render of their objectives. It would merely be a change in course. It would be a movement for more indi vidual comfort rather than for the collective benefit. The. ultimate aim, of course, would continue to be the se curing of social rooms. Under No Censor is advancing this proposal for what it is worth and urges its consideration by the In terdormitory council, dormitory resi dents and others interested in the welfare of dormitory occupants. Dor mitory managers, residents and others have already informally considered the proposal and given their approval.

Professor Smith is now on leave after 14 years as professor of Eng lish at the University of Oregon. He received his B.A. from Reed College, Portland, Oregon, and did. his grad uate work at Oxford, where he was OKLAHOMA COEDS IT'S NOW OR NEVER "On your guard, eds!

He edited "The New Ox ford," a political and literary review; was correspondent for the Associated Press at Oxford, and for the Manches ter Guardian Commerical in Spain and Germany. Hardy Favors (Continued from first page) joyed their rightful place in student government heretofore. "3. Definite functioning of the class honor council and closer relationship between council and class in general. In these and any other ways which present themselves the campus honor code should be constantly empha sized. ' 4. More effective executive work by impartial appointments to senior committees; strict supervision of fi nances by the executive committee; and establishment of improved ma chinery for budget passing. "5. A senior class and a senior year that will be remembered through em phasizing such things as a sensible se- ection of a senior gift of lasting im portance to the University, active par- icipation in inter-class events, and plenty of class activities that will be enjoyed." DEFENDS RUSSELL "Among the educators who defend ed Bertrand Russell's right to teach at the City College of New York, when the New York clergy raised its collective voice in protesting the 'immoral' British lord's appointment to the CCNY faculty, was Robert iMaynard Hutchins, president of the University. "Together with administrative heads and leading professors of other uni versities in "the country, Mr. Hutchins objected to the refusal to allow an original and admittedly brilliant thinker to teach merely because his ideas were contrary to those of or thodox religious and social- institu tions. Lord Russell's appointment went through." The Daily Maroon, University of Chicago. PROGRESSIVE GRAMMAR You see a pretty girl walking down the street. She, of course, is femi nine.

Her brother is an indefinite article. She talks of the future. She changes to the objective. You kiss her and she becomes possessive. Her father be comes present and you become a past participle.
