Several Tar Heels, during
the past fall, carried editorials
devoted to the different schools
of the University.
These editorials were primari
ly concerned, to quote the editor
"with the foibles and virtues of
each school," and the subjects
were treated thoroughly.
, But it is our impression that
several of the schools had quite
a few more "foibles," so to
speak, than those designated, es
pecially the Commerce School.
We could write a lengthy ed
itorial telling of the undeniable
merits of our high-ranking
School of Commerce. But today
it is our intention to point out
less obvious features of this de
partment, namely, certain faults
needful of correction.
The policy of the administra
tion is undoubtedly one that de
serves commendation, and one
that is intended mainly to insure
the greatest benefit to the stu
dent. Now, the problem is : does
this policy really insure such
benefits?
The opinion of the Commerce
students may answer this ques
tion. Their answer in essence
is this : on the whole, the School
has a good faculty, with some
of its members well-liked, but
several are worthy of censure in
no uncertain terms. Since this
seems to be the concensus of
opinion, we shall ascribe this dis
satisfaction with certain profes
sors to two major causes.
One'of the two principal reas
ons why this sentiment has come
forth is the absurd and unreas
onable quantity of work some of
the professors assign to be done
outside of class the professors
utterly ignoring the fact that
the student has courses under
other members of the faculty
who frequently require a large
amount of work. The student
dislikes being given a maze of
work that demands hours of
labor in order to learn a prin
ciple that could have as easily
been gotten, . and undoubtedly
more clearly, with one-fifth the
amount of work and time de
manded.
Is this true education, and is
it not logical to believe that such
a practice creates within the
student a desire to do "just
enough" to get by? Possibly
this spirit on the part of the
student is the exact thing that
caused such a larger percentage
of failures last quarter than
since the time the school has
been established. ,
The other major reason is the
languid and spiritless attitude
that some of the faculty mem
bers take towards their courses
and lectures. These professors,
as a rule, know their subjects
thoroughly, but feel that they
have done their duty toward the
student and all that is required
of them, when they give their
one hour lecture every day. . It
certainly would be to the best
interest and mutual benefit of
both instructor and students for
the professor to make his lec
ture something to look forward
to by his students. ;

Carroll has expressed a desire
to meet with the Seniors of
the Commerce School if they
should so wish. At this meet

suggestions that the class may

OPEN FORUM

FOR 'MARAUDERS ONLY
Editor of Tar Heel:
May I, through your columns,
ask the aid of the students of
the University in the protection
of the new castle at Piney Pros
pect? I do this for several reasons.
The castle is a unique college
product. Those who are in pos
ition to know say that no where
in this country or abroad is there
a lodge of a college society like
it. To that extent we are glad
that the University possesses
such an interesting feature. An
Arthurian castle, on a command
ing hill, surrounded by thirty
acres of forest land, is a new
idea in society halls.
The second reason is that
while the castle is private prop
erty, the owners are not inclin
ed to restrict in any way the
use of it, but by building roads
and especially a pleasant rustic
seat at the point, they have in
vited its use by students and the
general public. How has the
public repaid this courtesy? By
destroying property, breaking
windows, door-fastenings, etc.,
and committing other depreda
tions. v
Clearly it is private property.
Clearly 'no one has a right to
enter it unless by invitation.
Clearly it is a serious offense
against the laws of the state to
break into and enter a building,
and anyone convicted of it would
face a long prison term. And
clearly it is the poorest sports
manship in the world to smash
other peoples' property just to
satisfy a selfish desire to satisfy
one's curiosity about the inter
ior of someone else's house.
Visitors have always been wel
comed, (and thousands have ex
amined the building), but only
when the building is open and
not in use for special purposes.
We do not know, who the law
less and selfish are: they may
or may not include students in
their number, but it is under
standable that the owners of the
building are losing patience and
intend to protect their property
from violence.
If students will kindly assist
us in the matter, we would great
ly appreciate it if they will warn
prowlers against breaking in or
climbing the walls, or trespass
in any other way. It is exceed
ingly dangerous to climb the
walls, a mis-step or a loose
stone may mean the loss of a
life or a serious injury.
With the atmosphere of fair
play and sportsmanship which
prevails at the University, we
feel confident that we may count
on the assistance of the students
in preventing further lawless
ness at Piney Prospect
A. IL PATTERSON
was still cogitating as to just
who were these' "intellectuals"
arid what could be done to ameli
orate their condition. AH of a
sudden I had an idea surely
some of them must be found
among the P. B. Ki men of the
University.
Now in this 8:30 class, of
mine, there are seven P. B. K.
men, and one Ivory-Soap P. B.
K. (Ivory soap in, 99.9 pure
you know). These eight men
certainly must be classed as
"intellectuals." Having looked
over the1 class to be sure that
these eight men were present, I
mentioned Mr. Gardner's article
and told them of my great desire
to help them in their present sit
uation of "repression."
I told them that it might be
possible for me to step on the
gas and to accelerate to 25 miles
in 7 seconds, so that I might
keep up with them, or that I
would lecture one day to the "in-
;ellectuals" and the next to
well let's call them the "non-in
tellectuals" anything to help.
I waited patiently for some re
ply, but as none came I said,
Mr. W . what do you offer
as a solution to this problem.
After a slight hesitation Mr.
V rose and said: "Profes
sor, speaking as one of the "in
tellectuals" I think you are
kinder spoofing us, but if you are
in earnest, then I think that you
three profs of this department
are already about three weeks
ahead of this bunch why here
is Prof. " . posting a notice
now telling us that, if we ex
pect to receive any credit, our
work" must not be more than
four weeks overdue. In fact I
am reminded of a certain classic
cross-country race, pulled off
here last fall, in which the three
leading men, all Carolina, not
wanting to be rivals at the fin
ish, joined hands and romped
across the line in a triple tie
"If we are to graduate this
year, commencement will have
to be postponed until after the
first Summer Session."
Having received this knock
out from this "intellectual." I
felt my uplifted-enthusiasm ooz
ing out like the air from a child s
balloon, which has been blown
up too tight, and then pricked
with a pin. Therefore, we threw
in the metal clutch, (see Song to
a Mechanical Lady by H. M.
Jones) the dynamo picked up
its load and commenced to purr
contentedly, with only a occa
sional spark from the commutat
or,-and a scream now and then,
as from a hot bearing, upon the
birth of an idea to one of these
intellectuals."
"ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE"
A PROFESSOR EXPATIATES
Editor of Tar Heel :
The other morning, as I was
going to breakfast, I picked up
the Carolina Magazine and read
"The Ordeal of the Young In
tellectual" by Mr. Gardner.
It seemed ; to me that Mr.
Gardner's cry was the cry of a
soul in distress. The farther I
read the sorrier I became for the
"intellectuals," until I finally de
cided that something -certainly
should be done to help them out
of their depths of distress and
dispair.
As I hurried to my 8 :30 class,

treatment the campus is, one
man can hardly have that much
brass. No, I shall be pleased if
the Di-Phi suggestion is made
into a plan and accepted ; but
if it's rejected, there'll be no
weeping and wailing or snatch
ing out of teeth. At present it
seems to be a fairly popular idea.
I am told that it was conceived
in part by somebody else two
years ago.
"But while I can't be expect
ed to force this Di-Phi idea on
unwilling students, I'm willing
to defend it from attack until
a better suggestion arises. If
justified by general interest, it'll
be presented to the societies and
the campus. If real defects show
it to be worse than what we have
now, this idea will be killed, of
course. But some Jana oi rem
edy must be forthcoming. :
"The day when social organ
izations like fraternities rule
politics is fast waning." he stat
ed. "In the past they have invit
ed into their secret caucuses only
enough outsiders to assure the
success of their tickets. If fra
ternity men have a sense of jus
tice, let them show it now." No
social clique should dominate af
fairs of student government.
which are of campus wide im
portance. Perhaps the twenty-
six percent of the campus which
makes the social element should
determine who should lead social
affairs like dances, etc., but when
it comes to general elections,
each group should stand in line.
"It is rumored that some am
bitious students have seized up
on the idea of open politics as
a cause for select meetings. At
this meeting, it is said, these con-
cientious leaders oddly enough
have solemnly decided that
they are the logical candidates
for. certain positions , as cham
pions of open politics ! This idea,
of course,' is utterly foreign to
political reform. It smacks of
secret caucuses. This issue must
Tuesday, February 15, 1927
prove a wild colt to those who
would ride it as a political horse.
Such men, if they exist, are more
to be feared than skilled politi
cians, for they add to misdeeds
a total ignorance of what would
be right.
"So open politics is the issue,"
concluded Carroll. "Let sugges
tions for procedure rise freely.
The idea is here to stay, for sev
eral candidates and political ex
perts have repudiated secretly
and others will relentlessly ex
pose it." :
Carroll feels that big things
are ahead. Besides the things
he is doing in this , direction
there was a meeting called last
week . by S. G. Chappell, presi
dent of the student body, for
discussion of this same idea.
This group composed of leaders
acquainted with campus opin
ion, was unanimous in favoring
open politics. The Di-Phi sug
gestion was discussed and the
societies will consider it at a
joint N meeting tonight. This
idea of participation in politics
will draw the societies together
for one of the most significant
sessions on record.
Those who attended the recent
group discussions are S. G.
Chappell, president student
body; J. S. Starr, editor Caro
lina Magazine; J. Frazier Glenn,
president Y. M. C. A.; Red
Smith, president senior class ; J.
