It decreed that anyone guilty of hazing or even having knowledge of hazing and not re porting it to the proper authori ties was guilty of au misde- - meanor. . ' ' Now and then we hear of cases of hazing in other institu tions, but: certainly for the past three years - there have been - no cases reported here. This is a fine record for' the University. ! But now and then rumors that all is not as it should be become current on the campus. No one seems , to know exactly where these rumors originate but the persistence of some of them are such that they must be some thing more than just talk. u: This year the campus has been free of such. But during' the . next few w'eeks'we are expecting to hear some such. The Tar Heel's advice to any freshman who is hazed is to report the occurrence to the student coun cil, for one who is hazed is guilty, of violating the same act outlawing hazing as the hazer unless the affair is reported. It is impossible for the stu dent council to investigate every rumor, but if - hazing is to be stamped out it must be reported, and reported immediately. Loafing Profitably . In these strenuous times, when it is so har4 for many of us to come and stay in school, "How can we loaf 1" President Graham asked in his address at the Metho dist church Friday morning. One answer, taking President Gra ham's words in a different sense, is this: We may loaf profitably. Loafing and exaggerated par ticipation in' campus activities are called, by the Raleigh News and Observer the two "lions in the path" of scholarship excel lence among the college students. The activities offer, however, some remuneration for the time spent on them. Loafing, on the other hand,' is wholly unprofit able.' But no matter' how hard the circumstances under which a man attends the University may be, he will still waste a part of his time in idleness, on week end excursions, in hull-sessions, and the like. Regardless of any and all economic difficulties that may' exist, most students will devote but so much and no more time to their studies. Then, they find themselves with spare time on their hands. To use these , 1 1 extra hours profitably, without incurring expense, is the prob lem of making loafing worth while. ' The great University library offers one. of the cheapest and most enjoyable sources of diver sion and , pleasure. Magazines and books are, in addition, a simple agency for self -education. So, when tempted to loaf, read book instead paraphrasing the well-known cigarette ad vertisement slogan. . E.C. D., Jr. The First-Year Man And His Friends Contact witfi numbers of class- niates 1 and dormitory acquain tances potential friends "in themselves affords an outlet for the gregarious instinct of every normal freshman. Away from home, in many cases for the first time, they seek compan ionship naturally, and with the majority feeling the same way, friendships, often deep and last ing, spring up as a result of the common bond of loneliness and feeling of alienism. ; To emphasize the value of friendships is trite, but no one can deny the importance of these contacts, not only because of the society they afford the indivi dual1 but - because they supply a medium to mold, to a large ex tent, the character and habits, of the individual. In some cases this truth is borne out by dismis sal from the University "and in many cases of "flunking out." The individual's associates have unconsciously ; shaped '- their friend's hapless end. " Consider the boy who comes to school knowing next to no one, and whose friendships are form ed gradually around the circle of students he meets day after day at his eating , place and on the floor of his dormitory. His na ture seeks society; he wants friends and the- companionship which furnish so much of the collegiate color he ' has read about. He gravitates to this circle of those whom he sees most often and soon is establish ed inforihally in that clique. And here the mob mtluence is brought to bear without anyone in the circle realizing it as such. If the boys for the most part waste time, spend week-ends away from the Hill, and take up the insidious campus pastimes of bridge, poker, and bull sessions, then the freshman has begun his year wrong already. If he is weak-willed he will probably remain with-the time-wasting group and frittering the quar ters away aimlessly will have ex tracted from college only the more vicious influences. If on the other hand he sees from the start that such contacts are not for him and makes a determined effort to escape, it is easy enough to- establish friendships of another sort, .of the better, type whose influence will prove valu able. ' .: One cannot overestimate the necessity of the right sort of friends. The effect of his select group of associates on the freshman often make or break him so far as his college career goes. It is necessary for no one, no matter how much time he in tends to devote to studies or how unsociable he considers his tem perament;, to do without friends. Among 2500 Undergraduates no one is too cold and aloof or too shy and reserved to pursue a solitary course. R. H. Working Unprofitably We are informed that seven tenths of the. freshman class have applied for some form of self-help employment. The self help secretary of the V. M. C. A. has combed the town in quest of jobe until it is threadbare. The entire student body - is mad on the subject of self-help. One would think that most.' of the students of the University have 'come here to make a living, THE DAILY rather than to get an education. Such a state of affairs, al though derivative of financial depression throughout the en tire State, is detrimental. . Speaking from the standpoint of investment, self-help is the poorest investment that was ever conceived. It is not a bad policy for a student to work three hours each day at the rate of twenty-five cents per hour to secure his board, when even a good bull session would benefit 'him more in actual dol lars and cents. If washing dishes is worth twenty-five cents per hour, then studying is worth at least two dollars per hour, i The question that arises at this point in the self-help con troversy is : "Vliat can be done about it?" More and larger loan funds is the only solution to the problem. ' 1 : J. C. W. OPEN FORUM The Daily Tar Heel, continu ing the policy established last year,; publishes the following contribution from B. H. Conley of 411 Ruff in dormitory. It is hoped that this will encourage more students to submit their work to the paper. The Daily Tar Heel is always ready to re ceive the contributions of any student.

Editor the Daily Tar Heel: ' Hazing,' chief among the things that sophomores must do to think they are having a good time,' has broken out on the campus again, an annual occur rence at the beginning of a new year. Friday night a number of shines had to grab straps and scour the dormitories for fresh men to assault them and to humiliate them with indignities to think they were showing their superiority, while, in fact, they were giving evidence of greater inferiority. , Hazing has been abolished by state law as well as by regula tion of the student council, and it seems that those who wish to indulge in a harmful and inde cent sport would respect either of the regulations of governing powers they elect, even if their consciences do not dictate what is right and gentlemanly. One realizes that members of the student council are busy get ting their own affairs in order as well as their work on the council, Hut it would be , much better if they nipped this evil in the bid by more and stricter attention to .; it: y Hazing is such a foolish and j f utile "thing and 'is very unfair, ! Many of those who indulge in TAR HEEL the sport do so far revenge, "be cause it was done to me, and I must in turn- do it." But far worse are those who were slick enough to avoid it and who gain from it the perverted pleasure of saying: "I was smart enough to get away from the sophs, and now I'm just smart enough to give some freshman hell." r Hazing is such an ungentle manly thing and is contrary to the ideals and traditions of Caro lina. The new class is our guest and will become an integral part of us; they are our co-workers and must carry on our work when we leave, so why can't we all treat them as they deserve friendly, gentlemanly, and help fully and make them realize the importance of themselves now, when they can have great er chance to develop for the work ahead of them, instead of six months or a year from now ? : ANTI-HAZING. FIVE OF FACULTY ARE PLACED ON ADVISORY BOARD Banquet at Carolina Inn Next . Sat urday to Open Campaign. At the meeting of the fac ulty in Pharmacy hall yester day afternoon, five new mem bers were selected to the fac ulty advisory committee. They were : Professors W. C. Coker, L. R. Wilson, A. W. Hobbs, W. W. Pierson and W. M. Dey. The old members of the committee are R. D. W. Connor, D. D. Carroll, J. M. Bell and G. M. Braune. The faculty' advisory com mittee consists of nine mem bers who are elected for a three-year term arranged so that each year three new members are - added. Five new men were elected this year to fill the vacancies caused ' by the death of Dean J. F. Royster and the election of Fank Graham to the presi dency of the University.

To Launch Appeal , For Alumni Funds The 1930 appeal of the alumni loyalty fund of the University will begin next Saturday and continue until October 12, ac cording to an announcement made today by Felix A. Grisette, director of the fund. : A banquet at the Carolina Inn immediately following the Wake Fnrpst football erame which is expected to be attended by 500 leading alumni from all parts of the State will mark the formal opening of the annual appeal. President Frank P. ' Garham and. Governor O. Max Gardner are to be the principal speakers at the banquet. The alumni loyalty fund is the medium through' which alumni lend their financial support to the University in order to pro vide for such projects of Uni versity work as can not practical ly be financed by state apprbpria tions. The fund urges and sys tematically promotes small gifts from all University alumni to the end that it may receive an place the absence of a large en dowment. ' Already hundreds of alumni are contributing regular annual gifts but the forthcoming ap peal has as its objective the in creasing of the number of such contributors. The appeal will be carried on jointly by a chairman for each class and by local com mitteemen under the general supervision of t the loyalty fund council,1 of which Leslie Weil of Goldsboro is chairman. University officials hasten to make clear that loyalty fund con tributions are used only for em ergency purposes and ibr such purposes as can not be financed from any other source. The par ticular emergency which now confronts the institution is a lack of funds for student loans and scholarships. It is to meet this emergency f that the 1930 contributions, are being sought.
