' . .; ' '' HIGH QUALITY FACULTY It is a marked tribute to the quality of the University's fac ulty that otler institutions of the highest rank throughout the country are constantly making attractive bids for its members: Because of its recognized lead ership in the field of education the University is" being forced to compete with the best insti tutions in the country in gath ering and retaining its teaching force. . Such is the "central problem' the University now faces, Pres ident Chase told the board of trustees in his annual report in Raleigh, Tuesday, in discussing the institution's pressing needs. Scarcely a month passes that some member of. the faculty is not offered a position elsewhere that carries with it a bigger sal ary and other inducements than hie is now receiving at Chapel Hill. . Many have stayed at a personal financial ( sacrifice, largely because of their faith in the future of the State, and a niong these are Dr. Archibald Henderson and Dr. Louis Wil son. Others have found the of fers too tempting to be denied and in their going the Univer sity has suffered a serious loss. Dr. Edwin Greenlaw was among the number. There is lenty of available evi dence : that the University of North Carolina is now being forced to engage in nation-wide and ceaseless competition for its teachers. It's a fact that brings pride to the heart of the student body, but it is likewise a fact that North Carolina's lawmak ers must reckon with seriously when they are asked to give the University what it needs to maintain the high standard of its teaching force.

OPEN FORUM Editor of , Tar Heel: I have been reading the Tar Heel, the whole year, but no art icle has aroused my interest as the article on the "Quarter or Semester." Last year I attended college elsewhere, and -they had the se mester system. The classes just dragged by, and having a class every day was nothing but a "gripe." The classes were al ways large, and one wouldn' study except for that day, The classes were so far apart that it was hard for one to remember what he had on the . last class. and thereby missing a very im portant element in school train ing -one lesson leads up to an other, and both are inter-related to each other. I have heard many a fellow say "Well I've got the whole year to pass, why study so hard now.". I assure you that that was the way with me. I studied any old time, and very little. . You may ask the question at once, did you pass? I certainly did everything, and the marks were not so bad eith er. You may ask the question, did you learn much? My answer to that would be, NO I did not learn as much as L should have. As I have - said above, classes are every day that will surely, take lots, from the good of week-ends off the campus.' shall speak of, that presently. . This year at Carolina (and for the next five years), there is a story all the" different in the world to tell. When I came up, here at the beginning of the fall quarter, I asked myself this question, what kind of system have they got here? I wasn't ong in finding out This year is quite a contrast to last year; I, study all the time, for one canf not loaf very long before' he wakes up to find that the quar ter is an adequate, time for the courses they give, us, of course, with a few exceptions, and there are exceptions to 'most ; every rule. I think' it lots better to give courses by the quarter, and make a fellow study and waste no time in getting through with course, than :to just "take his time," as he does in the semester system. , I don't think there is any need to worry about one studying too hard for studying too hard has" never hurt very many, boys they will look out for themsejes. I have said that study most of the evenings and nights,' and one may ask the question, when do you play, and what do you do, for surely the old rule still holds out, "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." This is where the week ends' come in. ; I study hard all the week, and on some week ends I feel like going off, so Fri day afternoon I get up my les sons for, Monday, and leave Fri day night. I would never have been able to study as hard as I have, if I couldn't have looked forward to going off for a week end once in a while. For this reason I say that . not having classes (in general) oir Satur day is a good thing; I find it hat way in my case. , To change the quarter system would revolutionize everything in the school. , I am taking a combined course of Commerce and Law; and I have everything mapped out, which I have to take to get my degrees. It looks to me that by changing the quarter system to a semester system would change everything around in my curriculum. And it would do the same to everyone else, They say that practice makes perfect; well it . looks' like it would be wrong to change a sys tem after having it in practice for nine or ten years.. Let us stick-to one system, in order that we might come nearer and near er to making" it perfect, than to change" from one system to an other and back again. We will never get anywhere in this way. The quarter system at Caro lina has been the praise of every one. Students of other colleges like it best; and say they will change schools, or wish they had the same system. I am sure that everyone likes the idea of finishing examinations before going home for Christmas. We don't mind registering three times a year, as that is very lit tle trouble to us. In conclusion I would like to say that I am not in favor of the semester system, and I am sure that the student body is with me. SO, Mr. Faculty please have mercy upon us, and. throw this semester idea away. D. S. E. Senior Students Choose Cream of Campus Big Men Continued from page one) Chief Politician. C. E.

He cautioned the Senate that all these statements were open to question, as it was extremely dif ficult to obtain perfectly reliable comment on a subject of that kind. ' ' - After a moment of hesitation, the opponents of the bili began their attack. Senator Neal at tacked the bill, claiming it clear ly unenforceable. He stated, "People don't stand out under street-lights and neck. It is cus tomarily a very private affair, according to my personal obser vation." He expressed the fear that, as washe case with pro hibition, the passing of such a law would make the offence that much more of a pleasure. ' Senator Carroll began by sup porting the bill, but in a" later speech, he experienced "a change of heart." He was convinced that passage of such a bill would drive an otherwise petty evil in to the dark, and thus increase, instead of decrease immorality. Evidently the first stand was taken to . enliven the debate, which began with no defense. . , Senator JIudgins supported the bill on moral grounds. He believed that, although the bill might not be entirely enforce able? it would serve as a threat that would keep many people away from such practices. He pointed out the dangers of neck ing, which quite frequently leads to loss of self-control, thus "wrecking many lives." Senator Motsinger also sup ported the bill from , moral grounds. He discussed the trend of morals among modern young people." He said, "Formerly a girl was considered a lady until she proved otherwise. In these days, a girl is considered a 'hot shot' untjl 'she proves other wise." ; ( , The discussion . continued a- long these. lines for some time, breaking at many times into a warm running debate. Other supporters of the bill were Sen ators Gilreath and Alexander; other opponents were Senators Cone, Block, and Cameron. As many of the senators expected to attend the senior class smok er, the discussion was brought to a close and a vote taken. ' The bill was defeated twenty to six.
