In the Driver's Seat
, Rushing of a major portion of the freshman class by fraterni
ties begins this afternoon at "2 'o'clock. ' ' t
Fraternities, good, bad or indifferent, are an old and integral
part of the general scheme of life here at Carolina.
Moreover, it is apparent that fraternities existing as social
organizations are an inevitable adjunct of any large group more
or less permanently seuiea on one spot.
. "So, on that basis, the Daily Tar Heel assumes its annual be
nign perhaps quixotic countenance and attempts, for the
benefit of. the freshmen and for a hoped-for catharsis on many
points in the fraternities, to cut a 'wide swath through what
wags, usage and fraternity pros and cons have termed "the fra
ternity question."
Freshmen, partly because you're freshmen and partly, because
you're" at Carolina, you are in the driver's seat on this rushing
Your being freshmen and being at Carolina form an unbeat
able blitzkrieg combination. Because as freshmen you are the
life blood of the fraternities they can't do without you and
being at Carolina you're in a life where you can run a full and
fertile course without being a fraternity man.
Freshmen are like soil ; fraternities grow in them. They must
have new soil every yean And, at Carolinamuch to the credit
of fraternity men, incidentally there is less division, less dif
ference and less conflict between fraternity men and non-fra-;
ternity men than can be found elsewhere. T
Thisvantage point, however, cannot make the decision as be
tween fraternity and non-fraternity or as between particular
fraternities for you. .
It merely enables you to look at the situation calmly and ob
' jectively ; it lets you sit and look and think and ponder until you
reach a thought-out and satisfactory conclusion until all illu
sions and all false notions are dispelled.
In essence this situation enables you, freshmen, to attain and
keep a proper perspective throughout this admittedly vicious
thing called rushing; it enables , you to look on fraternities, as
'you have on so many things, in the past three weeks, as just
another part of Carolina something to be learned about and
looked at roundly, something susceptible to the same sort of
analysis as are athletics, and the Di and Phi, the Freshman
Friendship council and weekends, classes and studying.
Concretely, this means time all of rushing season, the resl
of the quarter, even the rest of the year to consider finances
and social and scholastic effects of fraternities as a whole and
the general congeniality and suitability of a particular fra
ternity. . ' ' l' ' - ' '
Time is. not of the essence; a. wise decision is. .;:
The major consideration, of course, is what a fraternity has"
to offer in line with and as a part of life here what a fraternity
h;as; to offer for what you put into it in the way of money and
time. . . ' ' " ' " - ' " -: - '
A fraternity is a social organization hot in the sense of parties
and dances alone, but primarily as a clearing house of social con
tact. In fact it is an extension of Carolina for the broader edu
cation for and of life.
As a Harmonious and useful part of the Carolina process of
educating you for life, fraternities must afford, then, a balanced
plane on which scholastic and social matters may be integrated,
with the individual, not the fraternity as an entity, directly re
ceiving the benefit. The fraternity, as such, obviously gets
much broader benefits from this course than from aiming solely
at pushing itself to a certain point of prominence in a vicious, .

your driver s position. ininK as long as you want and act as ob

Lest this be considered anti-fraternity advice, it must be point
ed out that a discerning, questioning, thinking freshman class in
the long view; are as healthful and stimulating to fraternities as
are well-informed and critical readers to newspapers. A series
of sharp-minded freshmen classes will invariably raise fraternity
standards. , ; . '
Simply put, fraternities will and can meet whatever standards

Sunday Supplement

on campus is just a bit happier this
Sunday ayem. (a la Winchell) with

other schools last

finding a few interesting facts and
ditties which we'll pass on to you.

The VMI Cadet sponsored a dance
band poll to select the campus'
favorite orchestra. Perhaps a
similar poll would make a hit here
at UNC. Then the students could
give a hint to the German club, and

Success After College Is Aided
By Farsighted Thought On Jobs
Jobs always have been a perpetual
source of worry to college gradu
ates. The trouble has been, however,
that young men and women have
waited until they are out of college
before they think about what they
want to do, instead of making up
their minds while they are still
undergraduates.
In'a long talk with S. W. J. Welch
head of the University Vocational
Guidance Bureau, yesterday,. I
learned that a "majority of the stu
dents on; the campus go through
their four ' years either undecided
about what field to enter when they
graduate, or are only half-way con-,
vinced that their major is the field
in which they are not only most in
terested but in which they can also
do their best work.
Mr. Welch felt that one of the
greatest catastrophes of college
training was the fact that college
students did not receive more help
from expert advisors as' to what
fields would offer more opportunity
for them after graduation.
I think that almost any college
student will say that he came to
college to gain a broad background
of our civilization, to learn how to
analyze and to think, and to learn
how it is to live away from home.
But, I feel certain that almost every
college graduate has an earnest de
sire to land a good job when he fin
ishes his four years of collegiate
education. This is looking at college
from a practical standpoint, but the
world outside of Chapel Hill is a
practical one and a tough one.
Since the University has not
found the necessary funds to finance
a Vocational Guidance Bureau which
can accommodate every student in
dividually, Richard Worley, the di
rector of Graham Memorial, has
devised a plan whereby every stu
dent ;who. is interested can get help
in deciding what field; to work; in
after graduation. . :1 I ,:..:-. ,
Beginning next Wednesday night
at 7:30 in the main lounge of Gra
ham Memorial and continuing every
other , week, men who have placed
college graduates in jobs in varipus
fields, will speak on a certain occu
pation and then will give individual
advice to any students who want it.
Worley stressed that it was im
portant for all freshmen and sopho
mores to come to the meetings. He
pointed, out that it is these two
classes should turn out because they
still have time to make up their
mind3 about their future occupations.
Juniors and seniors, particularly,
will have a hard time if they have
not decided what field they want to
enter. Of course, a little. advice to
upperclassmen is better than none
at all, but freshmen and sophomores
fyave the best opportunity to plan
out their course to success. Louis
Harris.
freshmen demand, whether these standards be high or low:
; So, freshmen, you are now stimulators, no longer receptors.
Carolina needs healthy fraternities. Healthy fraternities de
mand well-chosen and well-choosing freshmen.

."The System"
One of the syndicated
s
J
- - si
11 I
column
ists was complaining the other day
that America's millions are as un
original and as sheepy as so many
wads of chewing gum. They never
want to be alone.
They want to
wander around
in herds. Like
cows. They
laugh at things
and buy things
and -die for
things because
it's the vogue.
They've , all been
through' "the
system," and it's done its best to
stamp out all the original sparks.
But "the system" has something
to say. The other night a senior
criticized the commerce school's
ruling against giving credit for its
courses to students in other schools.
He pointed out how a pre-law AB
major can't get the benefits of sev
eral valuable courses offered down
in Bingham hall. "But naturally the
commerce school, in order to main
tain a topnotch setup, has to aV
tract enough students wholl take
a good majority of its courses. That
calls for. restrictions which will
definitely send the undecided un
derclassman completely into the
commerce fold or completely out.
In order to satisfy the regular stu
dent, the irregular student must
conform to the mold. He must go
through the mill, which, by neces
sity, seeks to turn him into another
wad of fum. Mass education calls
for that sacrifice.
But Dorothy Thompson in yes
terday's newspaper column makes
us begin to fear that such" a sacri
fice might be too great for the
meagre returns. She discusses the '
plight of four young college grad
uates who testified that their edu
cation had merely succeeded in'
"breaking down their belief in any
positive values, weakening their
faith in their country, in its history
in its traditions, and in its future
putting them into intellectual and
psychological confusion and into aa
.inner despair." One fellow said:
"When I went to college, I was full
of enthusiasm, particularly inter
ested in history and philosophy, j
wanted to find out what made
wheels go round in this world. I
wanted to prepare myself to do
something not just make money
not just be a 'success' but achieve
something, for myself, for my coun
try, for my times. Damn it, I
wanted to love something bigger
than I am I wanted to be part of
something. But by my junior year
I had become convinced that there
wasn't anything that could be be
lieved. Everything was relative.
And I was swimming around in
space. I was like the guy in that
rhyme of Gillett Burgess: 'I wish
that my room had a floor. I don't
so much care for a door. But this
floating around is getting to be
quite a bore.' "
Miss Thompson doesn't believe
it would take much to set youth
- right. But she does believe that it
would take a new orientation in edu
cation, and "there," she says, "one
is up against the system."
Now as we have pointed out "the
system" usually has a pretty logi
cal and conscientious argument
about the situation. It all boils
down to the fact that our educa
tional setup- is geared to take
care of the majority, the average
midde-of-the-road students, the
guys who are turning into wads
of gum. America had better de
cide pretty soon whether this "sys
tem" is working, whether it is de
veloping the intellectual and spir
itual leadership our country needs,
and seeks. If it isn't, then there'o!
better be some changes made, some
new concepts put into action be
cause as you know there isn't much
time left now.
