Fireside Fraternizing
A news item in yesterday's
Daily Tar Heel told of an in
novation in dormitory activi
ties, when H dorm last Sunday
night' held the first of a series
of guest professor bull ses
sions. ' i There are two reasons why
this new program, deserves
praise: first, it is another step
in the right direction toward
bringing boys of each dorm
closer together; and second,'
it marks . another valid at
tempt to better student-faculty
relations. '
During this quarter, we can
see many moves made toward
bringing dorm boys closer, to
the well-knit unit they should
be. Aycock and Graham dorms
have Sponsored parties in
, Graham Memorial, and the
latter has begun a bi-weekly
newspaper that includes gos
sip and dorm business.
All these efforts head in one
direction : toward making
life in the dormitories more
enjoyable and overcoming the
difficulties caused by a lack of
a real, home-like atmosphere
in the physical make-up of the
dorms.
On the other side, when
' H had Professor E. J. Wood
house of the Political Science
department over for their
fireside chat the other night,
they were bringing the faculty
and student body closer ten
gether. Although this was the
first time that a dormitory
had undertaken a program of
this sort, fraternities ha'd laid
claim to the idea a.fewvyears
ago. No matter who started
it, however, the programs are
effective, as well as informa
tive, for dormitory residents.
The i particularly unfortunate
angle of fireside chats is ' that
most dorms don't even have
adequate toilet space, let alone
social rooms.
Yet, we are willing to pre
dict that as the years pass on,
IFs bull sessions will be
adopted more and more by
dorms over the entire, cam
pus. Those that now have so
cial rooms should make 'as .
good use this year as H is,
however. -
Dorm life on the campus
seems to be picking up,
though.
Where :a young fellow re
marked a few years ago that
he had nothing in common
with the fellow who lived next
door to him, , because each
dorm room seemed so isolated
and barren in itself, today we
cap truthfully say that the
barriers of disunification are
yielding to close-knitness in
our dormitories. With it will
come better leaders and a more
enjoyable life for all.- L. H.
Temporary Reduction
Yesterday the PU board an
nounced that student fees for
publications had been reduced
60 cents for the spring quar
ter. As Mr. Lear, financial wiz
ard of the board, pointed out,
each student might spend the
reduction in the form of two
extra shows, six milk shakes
or a dozen cokes. From this
angle, the reduction is good
No one likes to pay, or see
anyone else pay, more than is
necessary to keep up the cost
of what is being maintained.
Yet, we are all so glad that
the PU board made the reduc
tion, in the publication fee only
a temporary one. Next fall, it
is anticipated that the stu
dents shall pay their custom
ary $6.90 a year for the four
publications, and. the. profits
if anywill be turned over for
permanent improvements in
the Daily Tar Heel, the Yack
ety Yack, Carolina Mag, and
Tar an Feathers.
When we compare the
amount that North Carolina
students pay for publications
to that paid in colleges all over
the country, we can realize
that ours is one of the lowest. -Taking
this into considera
tion, then, we can see where
the student body, should be
only too happy to have surplus
publications funds turned back
into permanent improvements,
rather than turned into a re
duction of fees.
There are many changes
and improvements to be made
on our publications: cartoons
on the paper's editorial page,
more pictures in all the pub
lications, a four-page Sunday
supplement for the Daily Tar

Just A Feeling
Lights will 4 turn up high again
this week.
Not the bright lights of the bloody
bucket or of
.Harry's or of
Aggie's, but the
bright lights
that burn late,
almost unbear
ably late into
the night.
As we -sit
and cram away
the hours, oc- .
casionally w e
take off a moment to think of the
quarter gone past. The roaring
basketball throng and the blatent
boos at the boxing bouts, the soft
whispers in a dancing partners
ear and the maddening crowd that
' pushes the gates of the local pic- ,
ture house, and the 10:30 coke with
the bright coeds, all these and much
more will fade past our foggy eyes.
-
We live a merry life here at Car
olina, one not to be dismayed by the
best of youth. Our hearts go out to
liberality and freedoms. The spir
it of tolerance is prodded into our
fleeting minds, as they whiz by to
. castles floating far above, think
ing of the worlds we will conquer;
or as they dip down to the coarse
ruggedness of picking out a well-
Heel, and even a change to
improved type. Experimenta
tion could be made in the Mag
' with more pictures, should
slick paper be used for print
ing purposes. . If . we look
around for worthwhile im
provements, they can be
found.
Thus, , when the PU board
next fall' considers restoring
the publications. fee, the Daily
vTar Heel would like to see
them keep it at the very low
level of $6.90 a year that it
has been. Whatever profit is t
made will then make our pub
lications better to look at and
contain stuff that is made of .
more solid fibre. L. H.
balanced meal every noon and night.
Yet, the spirit of Chapel Hill
stands untouched. Prof essors over
taxed with sentiment were flat,
steady cash be; students, placed in
barrend dorm rooms, where a kind
ly, home-like atmosphere should
prevail; all these and many more
cannot explain what it is that keeps
them in Chapel Hill.
To experience the thrill of leav
ing a windy, cool campus one week
in March and coming back a week
later to see dogwood and magnolia
in blossom, shirt-sleeved students,
and hand-shaking politicoes is 1 to
live but part of the life in Chapel
Hill. The spirit of the place is still
here.
You can't explain the sentimental
attitude. It's one that almost every
student and faculty member - has,
townfolk and alumni feel: It's like
friendship: if you could put your
finger on it, it wouldn't mean near
ly as much. -
As each quarter comes to an end
in Chapel Hill, we stop and look
back at the things little things
that mean so very much that
have happened to us. They weren't
earth-shaking nor will they go down
in the annals as great epics in the
history of the town or of the school.
They are just ordinary and common
like our studying is this week and
next. .
This Collegiate World

war, and he can probably win a lot
of other people to his side too,"
those people who are disciples of
Thomas Wolfe. The "poor little"
fifth and sixth graders of North
Carolina might come over also, for
they are the ones who are being
taught that Thomas Wolfe, noted
Asheville-bo'rn author, spelled his
name Wolf and died in 1940.
Copies of the 1941 edition of
"North Carolina Yesterday and To
day'' were distributed February 27
and 28, and the error was immed
iately detected.
As anyone knows who even
glances at the Daily Tar Heel,
the book by Jule Warren was th.
subject of a bitter controversy
which arose when the State board oi
Education adopted the text ins&a,
of one by Professors Lefler ar.
Newsome of this University. TN
Lefler-Newsome book had unani
mous endorsement of the State Text
book Commission.
The last paragraph under th
heading of leaders in art, literature,
and music has this to say: "Thorns
Wolf : born in Asheville, 1900. Edu
cated at the University and Har
vard. One of the youngest author
born in this state. One of his most
famous books 'Look Homeward An
geL lived in 'New York. Died ir
1940." .
And in case you're wondering
what this is all about; it is Wolfe,
not Wolf, and he died September
15, 1938, not in 1940.
