Greater University Day The Greater University's ""one big, happy family" will hold a get-together .today at the Carolina - State football , game in Raleigh after parad ing the streets of the capital during the morning. Tonight, . in true collegiate fashion, the students of the three units will top off the celebration, of Greater University Day with a dance on the State college campus. . ; . . :y - Greater University Day is a comparatively new holiday. Three years ago State college held the first such event . and last year, when the football game was played here, the in stitutions again held their family reunion. It appears that the permanence of the day is steadily being established. Not yet does this day have the significance of University Day here on the Chapel Hill campus, when the University has for 147 years been observ ing its cornerstone-laying an niversary; nor perhaps does it ,bear the meaning to State col lege and Woman's college that their Founders Day celebra tions do. But as time goes on and consolidation of the Greater University becomes more and more a reality, Greater University Day's im portance will grow corres pondingly. To Your Health! To Your Health! Funny, isn't it, how excited we get about conditioning our selves? The trustees get in a dither about the University's young manhood being soft and flabby; so they legislate re quired physical education for all undergraduates. Ordered to set up a physical education program for around 2,500 students, the athletic department set about to work out. a schedule of assorted competitive events. Included in their program is tag foot ball, offered to well above a thousand students. But, day after day these students go through the paces on dust-laden fields. True, they are building up their muscles, but when they finish creating a body beautiful, they'll prob ably end upv in sanatorfums . with mud-caked lungs.

Then condition ing ourselves wouldn't be so painful. - Students Won't Talk After a prolonged illness of several years the Carolina Buccaneer, student . humor t magazine, became seriously ill on the afternoon of Septem ber 27, 1940. On that date stu vdent and faculty leaders met to discuss what action should be taken against the campus number one publication prob lem child. The editor of the "magazine - who was not re turning to school this fall made it possible-, they thought, to do away with the magazine without taking any honor away from any one person. It was an opportune time. N When this group met' they realized that they could not take action themselves. But they did. feel they could offer suggestions to the student body. Eleven campus leaders were at that meeting. They were student and . faculty members who had watched re action to the Buccaneer for several years. Each had formed a definite opinion in his own mind as to the need of the publication. What could they do? Their only outlet was to offer a sug gestion to the Student legisla ture, which is composed of the most representative group of students of any organization, on the campus. They did this. The legislature met, drew up a bill, and on October 4 the Buccaneer was laid to rest for good. In past years when cam pus leaders took action against .the Buc students would raise up in rebellion to retain it. They argued there was a defi nite need for such a magazine here. Such is. not the case now. In fact, the humor magazine is not even good bull session material. Why the sudden change? Have. the students decided it best to forget the whole ' thing? The Daily Tar Heel, from the beginning, was against continuance of the Buc in its present state, but at the same time it felt that the student body should ex press its opinion on what course to follow in the future.

True, it is hard to get the genial campus head to admit it; ' nevertheless it's an absolute fact. When Dave 'graduated from high school he planned to pursue his . , ' higher education at Princeton, the school from which both his father and brother had graduated. For some rea son, h o we v e r, Princeton would not accept his credit s. They suggested that he spend a year in prep school. Dave did not care to do this, so at the last moment he wrote letters to several schools in the South. Carolina was not included in the list, but Duke was. Instead of addressing the letter to Duke University, Durham, N. C, Dave addressed it to Duke Univer sity, Chapel Hill. Ben Husbands, registrar here, received the letter, j opened it to inspect the contents, and found that Morrison was seek ing information on ' Duke. Morri son's record was enclosed, and when Husbands saw that it was very out standing, he sent him a letter viting him to come to Carolina. in7 Dave was impressed, so Carolina got by mistake a Phi Beta Kappa president,' and Leonard Lo bred, president of the PU board, appointed a committee of six interested students to discuss and offer suggestions to the student legislature as to what should replace the Buc. This committee has already held several meetings, but they have been handicapped. Students have said nothing to them about what they want. Naturally, it is hard to draiv j up plans for a" magazine that j is supposed to please 4,000 students. This committee has but 10 more daysto make a decision. They want the suggestions of ; the student body. If you have an idea for a new magazine get in touch with Dave Morrison, S Leonard Lobred, or members of the committee or PU board. Let them know what you want. You pay 68c a year for such a magazine, and it should please ' you. 1 l;'w i Prcrictu Pcssla wiARipLjHPW,gi America lAlRm bUneC" 27" feeds America. cn Ar R sad , ER?A ss.

He just hadn't got around to it before, he said. -Speaking of the square dance we j hear that Emily Harris, former president of the student . body at WCUNC, the sweetheart of college ,boys from coast to coast, the girl 3 with the million dollar personality, will be present. - It's our prediction attendance at the dance will increase greatly due to her presence. Emily was at the Grail dance last Saturday night, and as usual she : was full of pep. I broke on her, and before I could even say hello, she asked me if I knew why a fire truck was red. This problem had worried me since I was four years old, (I'm ' seven now) so naturally I asked her why. "Well, it's like this," Emily said. "It takes two men to drive a fire ' truck. Each man has two feet, so that makes four feet. It' takes 12 inches to make a foot. A foot is a ruler. Queen Mary was a ruler. Now Queen Mary is a ship. Ships sail the sea. In the sea there are fishes. Fishes have fins. The Russians cap tured the Finns. Now the Finns are Russians. A fire truck is rushin'. Russians are red. Therefore fire trucks are red." We thought it was silly too, but it's cute. Yes, and we might add that before Emily finished with her ditty eight boys were standing in line to dance with her. Recently an alumnus from Caro lina and one from Duke were dis cussing the football schedules of their respective schools. Both men thought their team was playing the toughest schedule. 7 Down the list they went. The Duke man said the Blue Devils had to face Tennessee. The Carolina sup porter came back with Fordham. Then it was Georgia Tech against TCU, Pittsburgh against Tulane, Colgate against the University of Virginia, and on down. - When they had finished, it wasf . decided the schedules . were about even. That is, until the Carolina supporter happened to think that Carolina had to play Duke. He reminded his friend of this, and be fore the two had parted it was gen erally agreed that Carolina did play the toughest schedule. QUADRUPED m om Hie JFif tli Columnist' By Ralph Bowman While rushing is still in the air, we want to mention a new sorority and a new fraternity which have established chapters on our cam pus this year. The Rata Data (or is it Beta?)" sorority, and the "G Beta I Loverher" fraternity. Secret initiations held for neophytes every week-end. We got competition! Charlie Nel son's Cheerio club, at last reports, was contemplating starting a paper. It all began when Charlie clairSed the Tas Heel wasn't giving his brain chile the news coverage it deserved .. . . so-o-0 Lookout ', Charlie two can play at that game well start our own cheering club! - Grr-r-r, we're jealous! Martha Clampitt, our competing columnist, is getting Fan Mail! We're gonna sit right down and write ourselves a letter, if things don't come to a better pass. Latest improvement on the typi cal Freshman antic Down in Ay- To Tell The Uruth By Adrian Spies Dr. L. O. Katsoff (Guest Columnist) (This article was originally sub mitted to the Mag. Because of space ' limitations, and in as much as its general style is not quite in keeping with that of the Mag, we were unable to include it in the is sue that went to the presses yes terday. So we are presenting here in an open statement to the stu dents. This is not light jitterbug journalism. But in these baby days of the draft this word of caution is ontal lest we forget. A. S.) Now that free institutions are challenged by external forces which deny the bases of such institutions, we recognize the need for co-operation. But co-operation is being equated with discipline, and discip line is being defined as the ability to follow orders without question ing them. And this is precisely the challenge to free institutions that we are seeking to meet. ; The idea of discipline is not new. It is the essence of the very form of education that progressive edu cators have devised. "Class-room discipline" was beginning to be a thing of the past it is now about to re-appear as the spirit of the present. The ideal of progressive, democratic education was to produce an individual trained to think for himself and to act either co-operatively or as an individual and as a member of society. Here at the Uni University of North Carolina, stu dent self government is an out standing manifestation of this pro gressive idea of discipline. The new 'idea of discipline is characterized by the slogan of the Italian Fascists, '"Work, Obey, Fight." It is highly significant that the word "Think" is omitted. The new idea of dis cipline is actually a return to the vision of the schoolmaster with his rod hearing the student recite his ' memorized conjugations. There is, however, one radical difference. The old disciplinarian hoped that his stu dent would learn to think clearly, concisely and effectively. The new discipline aims at a total obedience which will leave no room for thoughtful opposition. The implications of the new dis cipline for educational procedure at UNC are truly amazing. Student .' self-government would be abolished. Perhaps the' present form of stu dent government could be main tained, but its function would be completely different. The student government would be merely an in strument for transmitting the com mands of the "Leader in charge of Students." The "Leader in charge of Students" might permit a stu dent body president but his func tion would be to organize the stu dents so that commands would be obeyed in the quickest possible fash ion. The Di, Phi, CPU, IRC, Insti tute of Human Relations, ASUand all other organizations fostering critical investigation of current problems would be abolished. .

The clerks were at a loss whether to register him as bald or as red-haired. Closing time with; no action brought a final compro mise.

The stu dent need but to memorize and re peat upon command the materials in the various courses. Classroom procedure would return to the lec ture system with perhaps a radio loud speaker in Graham Memorial (or perhaps the stadium) where all students could listen to recorded lectures of the "Leader-in-charge of Education. Absence from class would be regarded as lack of dis cipline and punished accordingly. An exaggerated picture? Per haps. ; If democratic institutions are to survive, then democratic people must become disciplined free men and women and not disciplined ro bots. We must learn to co-operate in the solution of our problems and! in the defense of our way of life. But at the same time we must beware ofall attempts to impose upon us as our goal the idea of a people well disciplined to obey the commands of individuals who feel themselves tie sole custodians of personality.
