Support For
The Glee Club
As a part of national music
week the Glee Club will present
a concert in the Playmakers
Theatre this evening at 8:15.
Recent press reports of the
club's performances, elsewhere
indicate that those, who attend
will hear a concert meriting a
packed house. But . will there
be such attendance? We think
not, for as a prominent official
of the University remarked sev
eral days ago, "Carolina stu
dents don't go to anything ex
cept football games any longer."
We are convinced v that he is
right after reviewing attend
ance at performances which
.. should ' attract, a large percent
age, of students,, but which are
attended by only . a handful of
spectators.
It is deplorable that here,
"the leading southern education
al institution," we neglect, those
things which are an integral part
of our . . extra-curricular educa
tion. Whatever one may say,
the University is maintained to
give education. It was founded
for that purpose , and it has ad
hered to it since the founding.
When it fails, then'one may no
longer say it is an educational
institution. And when its stu
dents . fail to avail themselves
of the opportunities of becom
ing educated the University has
failed in its purpose.
After all is not cultural devel
opment as important as muscu
lar development?
human beings could actually live;
under any anarchical form of
government or lack of govern
ment. Yet on this campus each
individual is subject to no laws
other than "the rules of a gen
tleman," than . which" nothing
could be more vague or subject
to individual interpretation and
application. There is absolutely
no proof available to show that
man has advanced sufficiently
far to allow each individual the
privilege of determining his
own modes of thought and be
havior. On the other hand, numerous
experiments based upon the idea
have been tried on this campus
and .elsewhere in recent years,
only to result in dismal failure
for the most part. The most
recent and perhaps the most
outstanding proof of this was
the action of the faculty last
quarter abolishing, after three
years trial, the system of op
tional attendance for upperclass
men. Honor boxes, which used
to abound in and around the
dormitories, are no longer seen.
It has become necessary to chain
pencils to the desks at the li
brary. Stricter regulations in
regard to the passing of bad
checks were found advisable last
week. And these are only a few
of the instances which might be I
mentioned as taking place right
here at home, not to mention
such outside occurrences as the
recent failure of the educational
experiment at the University of
Wisconsin.
Furthermore, the stores" of
Chapel Hill do not find it ex
pedient to operate on tfye hdnor
system (though some tried it,
to their sorrow). Neither the
business office, registrar's of
fice nor any branch of the Uni
versity could function on such
terms. No one who recalls the
enormous amount of "red tape"
necessary to obtain a ticket to
a football game will assert that
the Athletic Association mani
fests any faith in it. Thejsarne
is true of the Entertainment
Committee, Playmakers, or any
other similar campus organiza
tion. Yet in the matter of class
room procedure we go on appar
ently in blissful ignorance of the
facts, or, if shown undisputable
evidence against the proper
working of the system, fall back
upon the old argument that the
offender is "hurting no one but
himself," a rather difficult as
sertion to support in view of the
fact that grades are given on a
competitive and relative basis.
Of course here we do have, in
reality, not a true honor sys
tem, but a sort of modified mon-
itor plan, wherein each' student
is supposedly "his brother's
keeper," bound in honor to' re
port infractions of unwritten
laws. Even this, however, has
not mitigated the evils, but has
served only to make two guilty
where only one was, before.

Readers' Opinions
IN DEFENSE OF SWAIN
HALL
; Monday morning found an en
tirely new group of boys flowing
into Swain hall, because the Wel
come In cafeteria had been
closed. The large number of
students were disappointed be
cause the Welcome In had met
with this misfortune, but. they
were proud of the. fact that they
could rely on SwTain hall and se
cure beard for less than twenty
five cents a meal. Swain hall
has always proven a "stand by"
to the students, because they
realize that $22.00 a month is
cheap for board. v
Many people wonder how
Swain hall can afford, to feed bo
well at this low price, while other
Once in the life of every col
lege student there comes a time
when "the urge to write a col
umn becomes irresistable. Should
I sav. "Tut. tut" and let the
matter drop now, I might have
another to add to my list 'of sup
pressed desires. My inhibitions
being sufficiently numerous al
ready, I must ask you to bear

duce my ambitious writer's
complex.
The students on one none too
interesting class have forsaken
their pastimes of tit-tat-to,
drawing pictures, and composing
poetry for a far more interest
ing game. The professor has
two pet phrases which he uses
continually. His listeners are
combatting the warm weather
by keeping a record of the num
ber of times he uses each of
these phrases during the hour.
Mild but intense betting goes
on as to which expression will
win each day. The scores are
posted after each class. Up to
date, the professor is evidently
unaware of the significance of
the symbols which appear on his
blackboard daily..
A certain couple (names un
known)' stroll hand-in hand be
tween every class. We are at
a loss to know , whether it is
spring, or spring training for
summer school.

High School
Relations v
The University Extension Di
vision has done much to bring
the high school students of the
state in contact with the Uni
versity and to render service to
the schools in encouraging extra-curricular
activities. Thir
teen contests, sponsored by the
division, are conducted each
year among the high schools.
According to E. R. Rankin, head
of the department of high school
relations, there are about 10,000
students in the. high schools with
whom the Extension Division
deals each year. About sixty
schools from all over the state
are entered in the competitions.
Among the many contests con
ducted under Mr. Rankin's sup
ervision are . football, baseball,
dramatics, " debating, French,
and eiglit others.
This work on the part of the
University is of great benefit
to the high schools, to the stu
be found to this question is this:
scientific managment and econo
mical buying. It is clearly under
stood that Swain hall is owned
and operated through the Uni
versity, and it is absolutely an
un-prof itable concern. There
fore, this proves exactly why
Swain hall is the cheapest place
to eat.
It seems that many students
are taking these factors into
consideration, as over 50 men
have checked into Swain hall
since Monday, and no doubt this
number will continue to increase
throughout the remainder of the
quarter. The total number of
students eating at Swain hall
regularly is from 600 to 800,
depending on the season of the
year.
Swain hall is praised not only
for the good, wholesome food it
serves, but for the self-help
work it gives to students. From
60 to 90 boys work in Swain hall
all through the college year ;
more of which are used at the
beginning of the college year,
because many of the incoming
freshmen are inexperienced in
kitchen work. These boys are
divided -into the following
groups : waiters, dishwashers,
glass washers, those who set up
food, those who clean up, and
"those who do the miscellaneous
work. The students who have
worked themselves to the most
responsible positions are "Mac"
Covington, assistant manager,
and "Willie" Morgan, assistant
manager to stock room. These
two boys will be greatly missed
next year, because both are sen-1
iors.
Swain hall uses only the high
est grade of foods, such as grade
A t pasteurized milk. They also
offer a variety of foods and
drinks, as coffee for breakfast,
milk for lunch and iced tea for
supper. .
