AN OBNOXIOUS LIBERTY
; The university library is here
for the good of all, but not ev-
lery one makes use of it. This
business of getting an education
is a matter of personal initiative.
There are some students who
subscribe to' the library only
when compelled to; others read
fiction to pass away time. And
then there are the students who
read classic literature because it
is a pleasant way of self-im
provement.
Anyone of the latter class is
constantly met at the library
desk with the rebuff, "The book
is out." After being repeatedly
subjected to this annoying in
convenience, the student "will in
vestigate ana ftnd tnat some
member of the faculty has taken
the book, which is to be returned
at his discretion. '
Now why is it that this greai
university,, with its library of
150,000 volumes, should contin
ue this system which works to
the ultimate harm of the stu
dent for the edification of the
professor? Most of the profes
sors have authority to order out
new books which they would
like to have for their respective
departments. As soon as one of
these books is received, the par
ticular professor who has order
ed it will pounce upon it, and
then it is his to have and to hold
And simply because they are not
restricted in the use of these
university dooks, many a pro
fessor will keep them long after
they are of-no further use to
him. In fact,u several Instruc
tors have confessed to have held
books out of the library for
period of more than two years,
It is thoroughly understood,
though, that this is not true in
all cases, or even in a majority
of cases. That professors should
have access to all library books
is as it should be, but the books
should be returned to their prop
er places in a reasonable length
of time. Now if a- member of
the faculty be writing a thesis,
and be in constant need of the
works of one or more authors,
he should be allowed a special
call on these books. The library
might provide a special depos
itory for books which are used
in this way, but it is very unfair
other subscribers to . deny
them access to these books for
years at a time. ;
It is because of the fact that
many of our faculty have made
license out of a liberty that
his liberty ought to be curbed!

We received a letter several
days ago addressed to the Edi

Dr. T. J. Wilson, Registrar of
the University, will teave Chapel
Hill Thursday on a two months'
trip abroad. He will sail from
New York February 26 on bokrd
the Leviathan, and will arrive at
Southampton, England, Mardji 4.
This will be the first real vaca
tion that Dr. Wilson has jiad
since he came to the University
in 1908. Assistant Registrar G.
K. G. Henry will direct the af
fairs of the registrar's office
while Dr. Wilson is away, fol
lowing a general outline that he
has prepared. . , . A.
In an interview with a Tar
Heel reporter yesterday, Dr.
Wilson stated that his primary
aim on ,the trip would be for
recreation, but that he would
endeavor y to secure as much in
formation as possible on the ad
ministration of foreign univer
sities. He will join his son T.
J. Wilson, III, who is a Rhodes
scholar at Oxford University, in
England and will accompany him
on a tour of France and Italy.
Dr. Wilson will return to
Chapel Hill about March 20.
OPEN FORUM '
Editor of Tar Heel: -
v Until about ten o'clock Satur
day night, there was prevalent
on the campus, a supposition
that the Grail dance would be
limited to a much smaller group
of- stags than the preceding
dances; but the sight of gold or
the inability to count evidently
led those who sold tickets to dis
regard entirely the number of
students' who filed past the coun
ter into the floor. Excepting
this oversight, the dance was
success.
The music was excellent bet
ter than any we have heard at
Grail dances; "the decorations
could nothave been improved
up6n ; the solo dance idea is an
admirable innovation and the
buck dance during intermission
relieved the boring, atmosphere
that prevails during an inter
mission in the gymnasium.' For
this we heartily applaud ' the
Grail.
But we expected to have a lit
tle mote room on the floor. Ad
mitting about three hundred
stags wouldn't hurt so much
but when there are about five
hundred, then it's a triflle crowd
ed. Personally, we would like
to have the price of admission
raised a quarter and the attend
ance of stags cut down about
third. That might eliminate
few of those who come to the
Grail to learn to dance or to loaf
when, they have nothing else to
do. Bad dancers get in it can''
be helped, I know for I've slip
ped in several times. But it does
peeve a fellow when some moose
who had an extra seventy-five
cents plants a ponderous hoof on
our dainty feet. Fortunately
have no corns, and I'm lucky to
have my toes. The crowded
floor reminds me of a night club
that is so packed, one can move
only the eyes. And there have
been some in attendance at the
Grail that should be able to wig
gle their ears.
Excuse this tirade but every
one thinks the same about me
and everyone else and rightly,
suppose. I merely question,
couldn't the admission price be
advanced a little and about ;
third of the crowd eliminated?
HE WHO GOT JOSTLED
ATOLL'S PLAN
HEARD IN CHAPEL
aylor Bledsoe, Old Warhorse,
Presents Idea With His
Sanction.
Upperclassmen have already
framed-up the presidency of the
rising sophomore class," Taylor
Bledsoe, well-known senior and
campus politician, declared in
dapel yesterday mornings Bled
soe outlined the Di-Phi plan of
holding elections,, and urged all
men interested in politics to be
present at the mass meeting of
the student body to be held in
Gerrard Hall tonight.
After presenting his argu
ments in favor of the projected
system of elections, Bledsoe took
up the objections to it, as out-
ined by N. G. Kartus, first year
aw student, who was. to speak
against it but was called out of
town over the week-end. After
reading '. Kartus' arguments,
Bledsoe stated that they were in
sufficient to overthrow the plan.
Nominations for campus of
fices would be made in the lit
erary societies by majority vote,
according to Bledsoe's plan. The
nominations could not be con
fined to members of the societies.
All Di and Phi members would
be pledged to support the nom-
mees.
Kartus' objections were that
open politics are impossible, and
that they would be carried on
under the plan as secretly as be-
'fore.

' MEETc THURSDAY;

Fourth Year Men To Air Griev-
" ances At Meeting With .
5 Commerce Dean.
Dean 1 - Carroll's dissatisfied
seniors Will meet with the. Dean
of the Commerce school Thurs
day afternoon at 4 :30 in '112
Saunders in an effort to straight
en out the recent ructions in, the
School of Commerce 1 between
students and 'certain professors
mathe school1. The trouble : has
been; brewing ' throughout the
school for -some time it is rum
ored, and the seniors in the com
merce : school have recently
brought the matter out in the
open, iney asKed mean tiuaiey
D. Carroll' to meet with them in
an effort to have a sort of "True
Confessions'' session; in which
souls are to be laid bare; and a
truer understanding ia to be laid
for future relations between stu
dents and members of the fac
ulty in the Commerce School.
The trouble was first made
public in the symposium of
schools compiled by : the Tar
Heel last fall, and later in the
Senior Issue of. the Tar Heel,
for which Fred Simon was Edi
torial Writer. :; In the editorial
in that issue,' a protest was reg
istered in no uncertain terms of
the methods of several profes
sors, it was stated tnat tneir
methods have proved either too
harsh, or in several cases, too in
efficient; The result, in" either
case, was low grades; and intense
dissatisfaction on the, part of
-the students for certain courses
and Iprofessors.'-"'' -
As an indication of' the justice
pf. their stand, -the ' commerce
seniors have shown several
startling facts to be true. The
School of Commerce has 503 stu
dents, whereas, the School of
Liberal Arts is not much larger,
having only 602 students. Never
theless, the honor roll for the
fall quarter, - which contained
238 names was distributed as
f olows : College of Liberal Arts,
124 ; School of Education, 30 ;
School of ; Engineering, 29 ;
School of Applied Science, 25 ;
School of Commerce, 23. This
placed the School of Commerce
at the bottom of the list of
schools as far as the honor' roll
was concerned. Furthermore,
fifty-six juniors and seniors were
placed on the Dean's list of the
A. B. school, which permits op
tional class attendance. Only
eleven seniors and juniors in the
Commerce School made the op
tional attendance list compiled
by DeariD. D. Carroll. It was
further stated that forty men in
the Commerce School failed to
pass a-single course last" quarter
a situation which is to.be found
in no other school. ......
Seniors Notified
Seniors who are candidates
for the A. .B, Degree this year
must file at the dean's office a
statement to the effect that their
major and minor programs have
been approved by the head of
their major department." The
dean's office can' certify for
graduation no student who has
not brought in : this approval
from the head of his major de
partment. 4 . . 1 '
