Clark Bill Jarman Friday, September 26, 1930 f 1 '"J mmmm English Students And Their Politics Ed Hudgins, former president of the student body here and new Rhodes scholar at Oxford uni versity, said recently in an in terview that the English student took a greater interest in na tional affairs and politics than his American counsin did. At the Oxford Union, a forum for the University students, national politics and national affairs showed the interest of the stu7 dents along with local topics. Over here we exhibit only a slight interest 'in either. Some students take the trouble to vote, but the majority continue their efforts to condemning the con duct of officials not realizing that either they acquiesced their selection or did nothing to pre- vent it. Other than taking' a cursory i interest in national officials when the action of one is likely to affect, the stock market or a problematical toUr of Europe, . ' most students hardly know who hold the higher positions in the national government. As to the State government the ignorance of the average student is pitiful. Actually, a student, discovering he was eligible to vote this fall, asked who the candidates for the United States Senate were. Some have read that Mr. Bailey was - nominated; few know that Mr. Pritchard is a candidate. Sports, social affairs, and other similiar interests occupy the students' attention. They have no time for government. And then those who display the least knowledge of the govern ment and its operation are the loudest in condemning it. England, however, knows that in the universities future states men, politicians and - diplomats are being trained. They have discovered that this "college training has given them a. fine group of national leaders, shrewder diplomats, and clearer cut political issues. And they have learned that an English - gentleman may engage in the game of politics without soiling his hands. That is another les son Americans are yet to learn. Progress In Music The University in the past has been sadly lacking in the matter of music facilities. Such a need has extended not only to those students interested professional ly in the art, but also to thej many interested in the thing ! solely" for its own sake. Recog nition of 'the need of both in struments in music and neces sary equipment was made by the University in a gesture in the direction when a small de partment of mttsic was insti tuted. From that time to the present the department of music has progressed steadily. Despite the lack of facilities those, such as Weaver. Dyer, and McCorkle, who have been most intimately associated with the work have done remarkably well. The glee club was once in institution of national fame and still occupies a prominent place among collegiate clubs; the or chestra and the band are also well known. Likewise, the de partment itself has a reputation which is admirable, as the cours es which it- sponsors are consi dered to be of an exceptionally high quality. These things are mentioned in order to show what music has accomplished on this campus, though hampered by a need of adequate equipment. But it now seems that these needs, or at least many of them, are to be met. With the music building and its auditorium and organ nearing completion, with plans for the Morehead-Patter-son tower of chimes definitely under way, lovers of music re joice in the vision of a Southern center of music here in the Uni versity. No longer "must the de partment be hindered in expan sion by lack of space and f acilir ties; no longer must prospective students in music seek other in stitutions because the University is poorly equipped in this field. The music department has ac complished much. What can it not achieve properly equipped? ... B.M. Condition Of Dormitories We have heard much comment lately about the condition of the college dormitories. Many of the buildings, still comparatively new, ear marks of wear far be yond their years. Railings have been torn down in the stairways, fixtures demolished in the rooms, and walls marred with pencil marks and other disfigurations. It seems to us that each stu dent should take the utmost care not to deface the dormitories, not only because of personal pride, but also in consideration for the later occupants of the room. If all students had taken this care of the buildings, these dormitor ies would now be much cleaner inside than they are. The fault, however, does not lie entirely with the students. It is much harder to take the proper care of a dirty dormi tory room than a clean one. If the University would use a little paint and kalsomine, .matters would be helped immensely. Once clean, the dormitories could be kept so with little yearly ex pense. J. D. D. ' The Critical Month v , ;; Many students do not seem to realize just iiow lucky they are to be' coming to what we will simply call, for the sake of mod esty, one of the best universi ties in the South. A college gra duate has a big advantage over others, and we hope we will be pardoned for thinking that a Carolina graduate is more fortu nate than any other college gra duate. ' Carolina, well-known for her athletic teams, professors, equip ment, and other things, is still more noted for the character and ability of the men she sends out into the world ; this should be an incentive to make each student strive to build up his mind, body, and character. - The most important years of a man's life are his four years at college ; of these four years, his freshman year is most impor tant, and of his freshman year, this first month is the decisive THE DAILY one. College and running a mile race are not at all alike. In a mile race, a runner may start off slowly and still have a fine chance to win; in college, a man! must start off right, or he may not start at all. If he does finally start, he will probably find himself so far behind that it is useless to attempt to catch up. Now is every freshman's big opportunity, the time when he will decide, consciously or un consciously, whether he will be a success or failure in life. If he starts right now to really study, to make the right kind of friends, and to take part in ath letics and other extra-curricular activities, he is laying a good foundation for a happy and suc cessful career in life. Nobodyis your boss here; it's up to you yourself to show that you.have the guts and courage to start off like a man and not a loafer. In the future, if not at the present, you will be repaid many times for what hard work and clean, sport you accomplish now. Show old man Oppor tunity that you hear him knock ing, that you appreciate his gen erous offer, and that you are go ing to take advantage of it at once. You owe it to your friends, to your parents, and to yourself to do this. C. A. P. OPEN FORUM MAN VS. INSECT A dormitory room normally serves the purposes of a "home" and -.all that the word implies. However, a dormitory room without screens installed in the windows becomes something en tirely different. A veritable zoological garden often springs into being during the nocturnal hours when the occupants are in the midst of concentration and deep study. Notable, among other out standing examples, is a room in Steele, the occupants of which have become so attached to their nightly visitors that an interest ing galaxy of specimens is be ing collected. These specimens are mounted and placed in a con spicious position in the room as a constant reminder of the end less struggle of man against pest. - Just another hint that dormi tory occupants ' would be proud to boast of the possession of a set of screens in their windows. W. T. L. REMINISCENCES From the Tar Heel Files By Jack Riley. 15 Years Ago Today One thousand eighty students had registered for the year. Of these five were co-eds. . Football scrimmage was to start soon. , At Wake Forest 415 students had registered. The total enrollment at Trin ity was 500. 10 Years Ago Today Twelve hundred students had enrolled for the year 1920-21 D. Reid Hodgin of the Phi society won the first prize in a national contest of peace ora tors. 5 Years Ago Today The University grid team had had twelve days of training for the first game with Wake For est. 'The enrollment for the fall quarter was two thousand. Registration in the Law school this year has dropped to 104, last year's number be ing 120. Freshmen enroll ment, however, exceeds that of last fall by six students, making' a total of 48 new men in the first year class. TAR HEEL CHIPS Off the Old "BLOCK" By Moore Bryson- Well, well, the little boy with the hatchet (not George Wash ington) once more starts his hunt and peck system and at tempts to knock off a few more chips for the "Daily." I really haven't had the opportunity to observe very much since I ar rived, so as my fellow columnist, Will, would say, "All I know is what I see in the papers. I have seen a great many new faces on the campus this fall es pecially in the neighborhood of Spencer. The old place is begin ning to pick up rapidly. ,Why, soon we won't even consider go ing to Greensboro or Raleigh for a date. That is if we are fortu nate enough to get into the good graces of one or more of the local belles. I know of one organization on the campus which fias taken a new lease on life this year be cause of the bright galaxy of feminine pulchritude, which is everywhere apparent, namely the "Wigue and Masque." With a new auditorium under con struction and such a host of girls from which to pick the chorus, there is ample reason for the otherwise sombre countenance of Wex Malone to be wreathed in smiles. . - Went down to see the Fresh men and varsity scrimmage the other day and sat with Virginia Turner and Jack Ward. They were so enthusiastic over a freshman marvel from their home-town, that I almost wish ed that I came from a locality where men are men and shave their heads. Which reminds, me, did youas a Carolina spectator keep in training during the .summer months for the games this fall? If you were in summer school that is "Fool Question Number 99,999. I, with the rest of the campus, regret to learn of the departure of Mr. Hubert Hef f ner from the campus. He has done a great work in the Playmakers. The one consolation is that his place will be taken by Mr. Sam Selden .who was here as technical direc tor two years ago. Everyone who has worked under Mr. Selden recognizes his ability and appre ciates the charm of his personal ity. 4 Back to football, I sincerely hope that this year's cheerleader will be able to organize a section that will compare with the fa mous "Cheerios" of a few years ago. I am not a great one for the "Rah, Rah" collitch spirit, but a good cheering squad does add greatly to the color and atmosphere which make football the 'super-sport that it now is. I agree with former cheer leader Chandler that the athletic association or the University should in some way recognize and reward the efforts of the man who works to see that the team has the organized support of the student body. RUSHING SEASON TO START TODAY (Continued from first page) are allowed to accompany fresh men off the Hill for any purpose whatsoever, and freshmen who knowingly leave Chapel Hill with fraternity men will be held equally culpable. Rushing will be limited to the hours between 2 and 9. p.m., ex cept on Fridays and Saturdays, when rushing must cease at midnight. No fraternity man is allowed to spend any money for a freshman. V Bi-Lingual Star Claudette Colbert, Para mount film star featured in the Carolina theatre attrac tion today, "Manslaughter," is bi-lingual she speaks Eng- lish and French with equal fluency. The feminine lead of "Man slaughter" was born in Paris, but when only six years old, her parents brought her to the United Sjtates. ."At that time, she did not speak a word of English. The public schools of New York soon taught her. However, so that she would not lose the use of her na tive French, Miss Colbert's parents insisted that she speak French at home. Intramurals To Begin With the beginning of intra mural athletics close at hand, a few words of explanation con cerning the 'significance of this part of the University's activi ties means should be of worth. In the past seven years intra mural athletics have come to play an important part in the school life of Carolina. Director Shepard, with the help of Mac Grey and Wallace Shelton, have done serviceable work in pro viding "athletics for all'' on the campus. - The schedule will be conduct ed much the same as in previous years and with: the new equip- ! ment that has been added, indi- be highly successful. Director Shepard states that the manage ment is rushing things into readi ness, and by the first of next week the intra-mural program will be under way. R. R.
