Welcome to Carolina, you who have never been in school here before, and welcome to a way of life which is peculiarly a Carolina way of life. You have heard of this way of life before, we are sure, for you have heard of Carolina's Honor System. Regard less of what you have heard and what you think of such a system, you are here in school and you will be compelled to live under our principles. If you are not a cheater, a liar, or a thief you will find you are in the right school. If you have a good standard of conduct and can be called a gentleman you will find that you are in the right school. You will come to these conclusions because the Honor System requires two things : One that you not lie, cheat, or steal, and the other that you conduct yourself as a gentleman at all times. These are the same high standards- that life requires any where at all times, the difference is that here at Carolina we as sume you are already honorable and you are given the oppor tunity to live under this trust until you prove it has been a false trust. We who have been in Chapel Hill for three jrears are proud of our traditions and our life, and it is with the hope that you, too, will soon get this same feeling, that we ask you to take a look into the Honor System, and find out about its workings. Carolina is self -governed by the elected Student Council. The Student Council has the sole, power to discipline violators of the Honor System. It can suspend them from school or in other ways deal out justice. On the front page in black boldface type is a report of some of their work for the past week. Read this report and as you do realize Student Government and the Honor System work here at Carolina. As new students we welcome you to these institutions of Honor. Factory College 1942 Time was when we remember the colleges of the thirties the "radical" thirties, the post-depression period, the time of juke boxes and a new popularity of records, the appeasement years, and the growth of the "factory colleges." Education had become a commodity with the middle-class, economic insecurity hit home, but when there were no jobs to be found youth turned to college college on a shoestring basis. The doors were opened to a wider and more representative slice of people that had formerly been unable to enjoy the privileges of a fhigher education." Through the thirties the university life graduated from the former four years of pleasure and contacts that had served as its chief raison detre through the period. NYA blossomed and flourished, the self-help student became a by-word, and working in the camps and cities of the nation throughout the hot summers became a common occurrence for the generation that had to work its way to enable it to come back the next year. This was the generation that could be found working in the college library stacks, behind the counters jerking sodas, serving the bulk of the students in countless ways. And while this seg ment quietly worked their way through school, those of us who had not been affected as yet, went unconcernedly on our ways with the college-as-usual type of lives. Little Joe College was on the wane, but he still raised his lusty voice at pep-rallies and in the movie-college life he still thought he existed in. It is debatable whether the present world conflict could be called "unfortunate," we believe in our heritage and in what we are fighting for, we believe in our privilege of being able to play our part in the present war and in winning the peace immediately after. Yet, if a truer thing could be said, it can be stated unfortunate as it may be that we needed a war to shake us out of usual lethargy. It was the war that brought about the death of the movie-college generation and the accompanying responsibility to those of us who have been able to continue with our education. One criticism of the college of the thirties was the familiar "factory college" accusation that was directed at U. S. educa tion. With the precision of a Ford factory, the graduates were turned out, stamped in the pattern of AB or Commerce degrees. The quantity of the product was praised, the quality debated. Today, by the uninformed, it would seem that the same accusa tion could be directed as our colleges speedup for the war and turn out the students. Our own campus is an example. Three types of students walk our campus walks: the summer school teachers from the remote towns of state and nation, the regular students who are "doubling up" in continuing their education through the summer months to finish before they are drafted, and the navy cadets undergoing a severe program of preparation for the war. For those of us who have been able to remain on campus have been fortunate and ought to do our best to dispell the "factory college" myth. The NYA cut of a few days ago severely cut into the ranks of those who had been able to continue, many have had to leave as they have been drafted into the ranks of the country's service. The naval cadets sweat and. prepare themselves down in the vicinity of the gym. In the face of this it would be critical if. those of us that have remained did not do our best to take advan tage of the opportunity that has been afforded us. The govern ment has permitted us to remain but it is not for the old college life of the past. It would seem to be our duty to prepare ourselves as best we can physically, mentally, and spiritually for the lives UdUer ..Busbies Manager with Tiny Button The square dance Tuesday night brought back pleasant memories of summer past. Conspicuous by his absence was Fish Worley, but Bill Alexander, who incidentally is doing a swell job in the activities office, shows great promise as a figure caller. It was nice to see Messrs. Tomberlin, Moore, and Wiggins tak ing the active part that they did last summer. Also, the Navy seemed to be enjoy ing itself. Ensigns Jack Daly and Jerry Ford were apparently square dancing for the first time, but En sign Bill McCachren, of the hill ' country McCachrens, and Lt. Johnny Morriss, of the UNC coaching staff Morriss', seemed quite familiar with the goings-on. It would be nice to know how the boys felt on their seven mile hike which was scheduled for the following morning. Jackie Ray should definitely have been among . those with the sore feet the morning after; she did her dancing barefoot. Also doing the country version of the Lindy hop for the first time was Shot Cox, of ball toting and rug cutting fame. Shot came back the first of the week when the athletic office decided that he needed a few more hours to be eligible for foot ball in the fall. Earl Ruth, former Tar Heel basketball captain, seem ed to be in his seventh heaven at the shindig also. There are some folks who come back here year after year, and it wouldn't seem the same summer school without them. Among these folks are two sweet, ladies from Savannah, Leila Gaillard and Mrs. Martha Pare. These1 two will do more to remind you of your fifth grade history teacher or of the lady In Dubious Battle by Jack Dube Anecdotings: Dan, campus politico extraordinaire is running into con siderable competition these days but even so, he gets petted by the coeds long before any of us get to meet them. . . . Charlie Nelson didn't leave a table unturned looking for Harry Shallett last week-end . . . and so we got out the little black book and asked them to say a few words.

Sybil Sholar agrees with anyone that Alderman is the only dorm where you can go in, ask for a girl, any girl . . . and you can't go wrong . . . which is good to know. . . .

Romanceroo: He sat holding hands with her and looking at the moon come up over the hill. It was then that he knew that this was the time to tell her of his plans for a little rose-colored cottage for two with her running to meet and kiss him at the door. The two of them, ecstatical ly happy and then perhaps a third we will lead after the short summer has flown. We school teachers go back to train the youth in our towns, and the students will enter the forces or civilian life for defense. The best answer we can provide for this summer is a dynamic schedule of living, of "learning" instead of attending courses, or carefully budgeting our time, and constructively planning our recreational periods. ' Let us do our part too, and make every minute that we have been afforded by the government to stay here count as one well delegated on their part. who taught you civics in high school than anyone youll meet in a long time. It's nice to see them back again. ' Sue Reynolds is another somebody who never seems to get enough of the Hill in the summer. This makes her fourth or fifth summer here in a row. It's nice to have he? back too. Character of the Week Octavia Bethea Muller, secretary to the Tar Heel business staff, is the nomination of the week. Tay, as she would rather be called, is a beautiful blonde whose constant usage of puns is about to drive everyone nuts. She majoring in English and wants to teach in a high school where there are some cute boys, preferably in their late teens. She claims that she likes to think that she will come to Carolina next year but says that she really knows that fall will find her back at WC where she has been for the past three years. Oddities Here and There. Queer est happening yet is the sudden hibernation of Mooney Davis, Steve (Lardas) Karres, and Clarence Adams to the library. These three have found that a course in statis tics with a quiz every day is no fun in the summer. More of the girls claim to be dreading to walk past the row of benches in the Y court. It seems that the wolfpack (no relation to State college) has chosen the spot for their morning sunning. Visiting the Hill during the week has been Orville Campbell, last year's editor of the Daily Tar Heel. Scoop is the type who has no money, no car, no gas, no tires, no good looks, no personality, no nothing ex cept, as he puts it, "A lotta laffs, lotta laffs." party to complete the picture . . . and she accepted.

And along with this item are a number of seemingly irrelevant facts, a strange paradox, and muttering rumors. What action the Budget Commit tee will take next fall in its recom mendations to the State Legislature is of course a highly speculative mat- , -and one of deep concern to South Building and a majority of University faculty members who very realistically must eat like the rest of us. v Now among the facts that may tie up are these: Despite the cries of some irate townspeople who are convinced that the University has been ruined as a result of the Navy's "occupation," the Governor is undoubtedly pleased over Carolina's selection as a pre flight base'. Furthermore it is reliably stated that the Governor, when informed that a low summer enrollment might cause an ultimate decrease in fac ulty salaries, assured University of ficials that faculty salaries would remain at regular summer school rates through the summer sessions ana tnrough the beginning of next year, He is even supposed to have intimated that if the budget ran out, the bummer School would receive the necessary funds from a legisla tive source. These two items we might safely conclude take care of the immediate question. . But a look at the records of Janu ary 16, 1941 bring something else to mind. For then, though the gov- Hillel Services ernment was committed to an all out war effort, actual U. S. participa tion was eleven months off the Bud get Commission sliced $1,060,903 off Dr. Graham's request for 1941-42 for the Greater University. Caro lina's share of the greater budget amounted to $1,959,546 and the commission recommended approxi mately the same expenditure for 1942-43. The paramount question is will the commission, like so many legislative bodies, make another in road into Carolina's necessary ex pendituresusing "war savings" as an excuse and ignoring the basic part that the University plays in the war effort? As it stands now, certain factions of the Administration are seriously handicapped by lack of f unds funds that would undeniably promote use ful and much needed "emergency training" for students. There is no telling what disastrous effects a "war-time" cut would have. This vicious circle arrangement is more noticeable and more pressing when attention is turned to the sal aries of faculty members. First to be considered is the aforementioned paradox. While college professors are placed at the top of the scale as the "leaders in the democratic wheel" they watch war-time infla tion increase the cost of living all around them yet watch their sal aries remain constant or in this case, threatened with a decrease.

Summer School Students with Experience Preferred. Apply: THE YOUNG MEN'S SHOP, Durham N. C. CAFETERIA Downtown Breakfast Dinner ... Supper o r y Kosiisarok , has been battling for a decade. That of watching first-rate, nationally known teachers leave the University because they sincerely feel they can not refuse the lucrative offers of - higher paying institutions. This brings the matter back to the students. First because individual instruction suffers, and second be cause a University's reputation is built in a great sense on the names of the men who teach there. And it is these "Names" that open the doors to the best business houses, news papers and professional schools that the graduate seeks to enter. The actions of the budget commis sion then, must be followed with in terest and concern. The problem is individual but universal. The prob lem must be brought to the atten tion of those about to deal with it. And this "attention getting" must, be immediate, clear, and forceful. Alumni Give CVTC Colors Colonel Raborg, head of the CVTC. announced yesterday that the Alumni Association had voted to present the CVTC with Corps Colors. "The colors will be made of blue bunting with the University seal in the center and Carolina Volunteer Training Corps written across it," Colonel Raborg said. The colors will be presented to the corps next fall and will be carried in all formations. Services will be held tonight at 7:3i at the Hillel House, 513 E. Rosemary Street for all the Jewish students who would like to attend. David Arner will conduct the services, it was announced.
