Childs.- A Matter of Student Pride The work being done by a committee selected by the presi dent of the student body to form a North Carolina Federa tion of Students should be a mat ter of pride for every Carolina student. It is the first construc tive work yet done to bring to gether in a compact . organiza tion the senior institutions of this state, and with 19 such in stitutions the committee has faced no easy task. Those in terested in the work know that little will be realized in the first few years of the organization. There are too many' problems which the federation must face for any real benefit to be real ized this year. But it is for the' future that the organization is being per fected. , Those of the freshman and sophomore classes will real ize far more than those of the upper-classes the benefits to be derived from, a student federa tion; and it is for them to learn what it is all about. Too many are inclined to scorn the efforts of those fostering the move ment. They, perhaps, realize that student enthusiasm is short-lived and that too often in the past such movements have been born only to be prematurely sent to the grave because of dis interestedness and scorn. We think it is to be different this year. Those interested have not played with the idea as a new toy but have devoted their energy and time to it as with a great task. And it is a great task. Unifying the student 'bodies of 19 North Carolina in stitutions into a student federa tion is a task seldom undertaken without forethought. But re- suits are showing. The prelim inary work is near completion. It is now the time for the stu dent body to demonstrate its in terest and its pride in the mag nificent work of the committee. There Should Be An Honor System Vote Many of us are doubting the advisability . of retaining the honor system in the University. We see-many students violating their' pledges during quizzes without feeling any the worse for it. To them the honor sys tem is an old custom, dear to their predecessors, which has been handed ' down to them. They do not feel the pride in it which every student in the Uni versity should have. The honor system ha been forced upon them without their consent and they liave no scruples about vio lating it. An honor system should spring from the desire of the student body itself and should only be kept when students feel they -want it ;and will up hold it. At present, most of us feel we-.have been given the. sys tem and that we have nothing to do with keeping it here. The honor system should be put to a vote of the student body each year as to whether it should be retained. The students of the Universitv would then take greater pride and enforce it bet ter. if they knew it was they, themselves, who decided to keep it. Let us have a vote on the question next fall. A. V.. L. Exodus From The Faculty Hardly has the announcement been made concerning Dr. Chase's resignation when a flood of further announcements ap pear concerning the resignation of several prominent members of the faculty, and especially of the department of English. First, Professors Howard Mum ford Jones and Russell Potter hand in resignations to take ef fect after this quarter; and now, Professor Norman Foerster an nounces his acceptance of the position of head of the English department of the University of Iowa. And with all this Dr. Vilbrandt of the department of chemistry tenders his resigna tion.. ' A great deal has been said al ready about the laxity of the leg islature in not providing for such situations. The University of Virginia pays her faculty members much more than Caro lina, whose faculty seems to be greatly underpaid in spite of the prominence the University has achieved, in recent years es pecially. The legislature, con trolling the money bags of the state, does 'not seem to have tak- en into consideration the fact that in letting slip from the fac ulty these men, who have assist ed greatly in building up the reputation the school enjoys, the prestige of the institution is seriously affected. No institution has such a sup ply of eminent figures on hand that other and riiore liberal col leges can continue to attract them without some effect being obvious. The University of North Carolina should" be find ing this out already; with three of the outstanding members of the English faculty ' gone, the work of that department is seri ously crippled. The question tion remaining is simply : What is the state going to do about it? The matter rests with the state; everyone knows the .Uni versity is extremely loath to part with faculty members of such high quality yet there the matter stands. ' Newspapers dis cuss the situation; people say they "hate to think of all those good men leaving." The legis lature comes in for a temporary roasting, then all is forgotten, including the fact that nothing has been done and that the mat-' ter is far from remedied. The only way to put a stop to this general and easily under stood exodus of men from the. faculty is to make some provi sion to hold them here. There is no need to talk about putting a premium on brains; teachers do not expect to become million aires, but they do expect, and rightly so, sufficient financial remuneration for the years and years of preparation they have served to be followed by more years of service. If the state is to remain proud of the position and importance its universitv has achieved, then it must put a stop to this practice of false economy. 3tfo educational prog ress can be made when par simony stays the hand of those in control. R. H. REMMSCENCES From the Tar Heel Files v By Howard M. Lee 25 Years Ago This Week For. the first time in the his tory of the University, Carolina played Virginia here in tennis.
