Wednesday, December S, 1924 PARAGRAPHICS Only , ten exams! more class days until With Thanksgiving gone now it is Christmas to which to look forward. Many students have exactly two weeks to do the work of a whole quar ter. '. Other students do not have the whole of the two weeks since the first week or more will be spent otherwise. Well, it was a good game , even though the Orange and Blue did win. And any way the trip was certainly worth while. Just to break the mo notony if nothing else. .. ' And then there's that old line to fall back on. The team that wins is not necessarily the strongest team; it's the team that can bear up under de feat that is the stronger. (Nice, ain't it?) Now that football has had its flit upon the stage of student interest we -have with us our mid-winter sport The limelight has spotted the ascend ance of the cross-word puzzle. There are two arguments for these vocabu lary teasers,-, or and against. Our awe provoking emotion was called into use when one "of the foot - ball men 'chanced into our retreat to request a Swiss seaweed in seven let ters. An investigation should be held to determine the detriments or, on the other hand, the value of the cross word puzzle. If some enterprising professor would work out his course in cross-words then we ,are sure that he could gain immediate fame and popularity with ' the students. For example the history department could present .a series of cross-dates puzzles for the benefit of those students who are not so very much interested in history as a study, . The foreign language departments could increase the vocabularies of their attachees considerably by the cross-word avenue. We do not urge this; it is merely suggested. . The campus is awaiting news from the little sprout that came up from one of the lotus seeds. The whole student body, it appears, has become attached to the frail little green or ganism since its first appearance. Re ports from the botany department con cerning the petite shoot are -eagerly sought every day. For several days nothing has been heard as' to the health of the young lotus tree and many are those among the student body thai are fearing the worst. We suggest that daily reports from the tender young sprig be read in chapel. stadias on the' athletic field. We have stands to seat close to five thousand people and chapel space to seat a num ber less than the size of the student body. But who goes to chapel? i t CLASS ATTENDANCE AGAIN The editorial in the TAR HEEL of several issues back concerning a propo sal to abolish to a certain degree the system of compulsory class attendance has hot brought about any public com' ment from the powers that be. But this condition of facts is quite in line with the usual It is not usual for stu dent opinion to be sought out in con nection with administration policies that directly affect the student body, Anything unusual is, with a large ma jority both here as well as elsewhere unreasonable. As a possible answer to the sugges tion for a more liberal and progressive policy in regard to class attendance the proposal was given publicity that fifty good little boys that make Phi Beta Kappa grades would not be subjected to the class -attendance rulings. - No explanation, nor accompanying com ment was attached to this liberal ac Hon on the part of the source from whence it came. An editorial and much campus criticism was directed against the sugar 'coated and- hollow proposal and yet no comment nor statement has been given out for publicity regarding the change. - . We do not expect that editorials of the TAR HEEL be heeded with the exactness a small child minds his fa ther. But it does seem to us altogether fitting and proper that where student opinion is expressed in regard to pro gressive campus measures that some consideration should be taken of it. The criticism has reached us indi rectly that we have been guilty of at tacking certain customs or practices here and ''not offering plans to better the conditions. Whatever depth there may be to such charges preferred against us, we plead not guilty to any such accusation in this particular case. In our first comments on our class at tendance system was included a propo sal to work from, one which we do not claim is perfect, but one which we do maintain is better than the system now in use. ToWepeat, we are not alto gether decided as to the advisability of turning the whole student body over to the voluntary class attendance idea at once. The, step that we proposed was that all courses required of fresh men and sophomores should be under the same regulations as is now in force. To those courses which are not required that is, electives we urge that the policy of voluntary class at tendance prevail. This will mean that all freshmen will be required to at tend classes as they are now. Sopho mors who have off their required work will come under the new system , on their elective classes. Upper classmen who take courses that are required for degrees will have to attend classes un der the present system. We have had several classes during our stay here on which the roll was not taken. We feel that more was derived from these courses than any other classes on which attendance was taken. In fact we are sure that the several courses mentioned were far more in teresting than other courses to which we have been subjected. This suggestion on our part and on the part of many other students does not come under the catagory of those foolish proposals which are charged up to college boys. This is a measure which would, if put into operation, place a good deal of responsibility on the student. We have faith in the stu dent body and believe that the plan would turn out successful if given a fair chance. A fair chance would take into consideration those infractions of regulations that come with every sys tem. ' We should like to s'ee some student group come out with a set of proposals regarding class attendance and present them to the faculty, for their consid eration. As yet we have no indication that the faculty, has considered the change, unless 'the recent lift of the ban to fifty selected men be taken se riously by them as an experiment. It is reported that several students are working on such proposals at the pres ent time. We are confronted with the univer sal problem of what we are to do with our athletic stadia when out-of-door sports are out of season. Here we have Emerson field with two huge stands not being used. This indeed is a grave problem and one which should be attended to at once. The economics department should take the matter in hand and try to solve the problem of year-round utilization of the concrete 9 CALENDAR Wednesday, 9:00 P, M.
