Reckoning
Time ...
A University of North Caro
lina professor struck a preval
ent note the other morning when
he addressed his class on this
wise, "Gentlemen, the reckoning
time is almost here. Although
I have only a hazy idea of what
you have accomplished thus far
in this course, University ruling
demands that I give, you a mid
term grade." '
The professor in question
went on to say that he person
ally hated the idea of examina
tions, and that he would never
give one if left to his own con
victions. This attitude, which is
rather prevalent among the
younger element of the faculty,
affords abundant room for spec
ulation. AH students hate ex
aminations, and a considerable
number of the faculty concur
with them. This being the case,
it is high time that we inquire
into the grading system which
is built upon the principle of the
periodical, written examina
tion. One encounters no difficulty
in finding professors who admit
that they place no reliance what
ever in examinations. Such
teachers hand in their grades
without allowing examination
marks to enter the tabulation.
Mid-term and final examinations
are rapidly coming to be con
sidered mere nuisances which
are demanded by university rul
ing. . - ; - : ZS;:L
Students taking examinations
can be divided into three groups :
those who have maintained high
scholastic attainment through
out the. course and who, for this
reason, don't need to be given an
examination ; mediocre students
whose examination grades are
almost identical with previous
standing in the course (in this
case tests are a waste of time) ;
and stragglers who are apt to
fail. If such persons do pass,
they do so by means of "cram
ming" a process which results
in temporary learning only.
We are forced to conclude
that examinations are a nuisance
to all concerned. There can be
little doubt that men experienced
enough to be college professors
are capable of evaluating a stu
dent's efforts and acquisitions
without employing the method
of the written examination.
C. W.
An Equalizing
Chorus
The faculty and townspeople
would be too polite to admit it
voluntarily, but if they could be
caught off guard and given no
time to plan an answer, they
would probably confess that
they find the students a scatter
brained lotsome of them lov
able, some of them vastly irri
tating, but all of them scatter
brained. And maybe they would
be more or less justified. Not
altogether. If the professors
could know us as anything but
students, and the townspeople as
anything but idlers, they might
overlook the natural inclinations
of youth. Youth would be still
slightly scatterbrained, but
more flattering adjectives might
be applied.
Anything that can bring to
gether faculty members, towns
people, and students on an equal
footing will make the students
far more acceptable. One can
judge an inferior, or a superior.
It is possible to judge a peer. It
would be inadvisable for the stu
dents to spend twenty-four
hours a day seven days a week
being the peers of the faculty
and citizenry. That would be a
new and rank form of socialism.
To our minds, the community
chorus, beginning its second
year on the campus, is an equal
izer, a sane and sufficiently
conservative equalizer that
should be made a tradition. And
there is a real pleasure in es
tablishing a tradition that is far
more delightful than the self
righteous satisfaction of pre
serving the same tradition.
Use Your '
Stationery
One of the best ways to spend
your spare time is in writing
letters. We realize, how hard it
is to make oneself write them,
but in the end you will be fully
repaid for your "trouble, even if
you have to miss a few hands
of bridge. We always get a big
kick out of a letter from some
friend. As for the females, all
our Romeos will tell you that
nothing causes Juliet to look for
another boy friend quicker than
a mail-box that's always empty.
Of course, the better the let
ter is, the more you enjoy it.
Since in letter-writing, as in
everything else, practice makes
perfect, why not write a few
letters? More than likely you
will soon find out that letter
writing is really a lot of fun. ,
If you have the idea that you
cannot write an interesting let
ter, get it out of your head at
once. Your letters will not be
graded, so don't write them in
the same spirit that you write
themes. If you can carry on an
interesting conversation, you
can write an interesting letter.
Simply write as you would talk.
Your friends are the most
valuable possessions that you
have, and you are taking a big
chance on losing them if you let
your stationery become covered
with cobwebs.

Spare Time
And Reading
How many of us think of the
library as a place to spend spare
time? Probably not many. A
most profitable and entertain
ing practice is that of browsing
THE DAILY
in a desultory manner in the li-!
brary, reading whatever catches j
our eye. One need not neces-i
sari ly read anything word fori
word in order to derive benefit
from this practice. He may
merely look around with a view!
to finding where certain books
are that will serve for reference
later.
It is likely that one following
this practice will run across
some bit of information which
he would not have been able to
find under a classified list. Of
ten we have found, after it was
too late to profit by it, some
book containing information
which could have been used to
advantage, but which was not
listed under any given kind of
material, and so was lost to us.
Especially profitable is such
a practice of desultory brows
ing in the reference room. It
requires only a comparatively
short time to look over the re
ference shelves and to find
what type of information can be
obtained there. Material on al
most any subject can be found
by consulting the reference cata
logs. It is not necessary that
one remember where the vari
ous reference books are. Merely
the knowledge that certain facts
are listed is sufficient to justify
the time spent in looking around.
It is rare that one does not
find something entertaining as
well as instructive in casually
looking over the reading shelves.
One may nearly always find a
book that he has heard much
about and wanted to read, but
for which hewould hardly have
thought-of , making a special
trip to the library.

OPEN FORUM
HASN'T HE DONE THAT?
To the Editor:
It seems rather odd having
so many 'reserve men from last
year ' that ' were apparently of
all-southern brand to turn out
to be all state second string.
After viewing several shots
from the N. C Georgia game,
I still think that it is more than
an accidental occurence.
We cannot figure whether it
was an alumnus in the tobacco
business, brie in the liquid dis
pensing business, or both, that
got hold of the football squad.
At any rate it has always been
an old Spanish custom that the
mighty warriors of the grid
keep up the appearance of
training. Of course we recog
nize that we have an exceptional
team and that they can do ex
ceptional things, but we were
not under the impression that
breaking training was among
the wonders to be performed.
We Suggest that since we
cannot win the Southern Con
ference with a team that will
not train, the worthy mentor
kick several lower anatomies
in fact the majority off the
squad, and start bringing the
understudies into good habits.
Of course one can see the bind
that Collins will be thrown into
by letting the varsity drift off,
but he also has next year to
look out for. So we suggest that
he take the red headed center
and start building a team around
it that can refrain from break
ing training. What say?

Student Government
Catawba Will Make Aim3 of the
System More Effective.
In the Catawba College
newspaper, The Pioneer, there
appeared last week in "Facts,"
an editorial column, the follow
ing quotation on student gov
ernment, which is particularly
pertinent in view of the recent
visit of E. R. Murrow, president
of the National Student Federa
tion, ot this campus:
"Word has come to us that
the 'powers that be' in student
government are working upon a
tangible, and we hope, practica
ble plan whereby student gov
ernment aims can become effec
tive. The f ramers of the scheme
propose to make provision for
joint meetings between members
of the student senate and 1 the
presidents of the important or
ganizations on the campus, in
cluding class presidents. The
purpose of the plan is to knit
the student body together
through the cooperation of the
various student leaders.; ;
"This is the best plan for se
curing student sentiment con
solidation that has yet come to
our notice. Its final effect would
be the promotion of school spir
it; a more creditable aim could
hardly be found for our present
governing body."
-, - The University student coun
cil, the faculty executive com
mittee and other official groups
on the campus are intending to
inaugurate some similar plan, of
education in student government
here at an early date. As yet,
the idea has not taken tangible
form. .

Burch Makes Furniture
V Mahogany from the Philip
pines coming into Chapel Hill
to be made into furniture here
is an example of the many new
activities in the village.
; In the low brick building
down behind Phillips hall P. L.
Burch, the University's super
intendent of buildings, has a
well-equipped woo d-working
shop where expert 'cabinet
makers construct tables, shelves,
wall-cabinets, and desks for the
buildings on the campus and oc
casionally turn out articles of
furniture for people's homes.
I In these columns last, spring
was described a walnut suite
fashioned by Mr.' Burch's men
and displayed at the flower show
in the Tin Can. Only a month
or so ago he sent an old-fashioned
three-cornered walnut cup
board to Mrs. Charles Coolidge
(the former Miss Jane Toy) ,
and he produced pieces of
the same sort for D. E.
Schreffler and S. H. Hobbs, Jr.
For somebody else he made a
mahogany bed and a mahogany
highboy.
). This construction of domestic
furniture is incidental to the
work done for the University.
At odd times, when the force is
riot busy at its main job, some
body will come in with a sketch
of a table or a cupboard or a
desk, and a week or so later the
object will be ready for him to
install in his home.
Once half a carload of Philip
Dine mahogany was brought
here from New York after hav
ing" come across the Pacific
ocean and through the Panama
Canal. Sometimes Honduras
mahogany is procured through
Atlanta. On one or two oc
casions shipments of white
maple have been' received from
the North. Of course a great
deal of the wood used by the
University comes from North
Carolina and nearby states, but
frequently there is need for a
material not obtainable in this
region. , The seats for the Ke
nan stadium came from the state
of Washington on the Pacific
coast.
The furniture for the geology
department in the New East was
made in the building depart
ment's shop, and so was the
equipment for J. F. Dashiell's
and English Bagby's psycholo
gical laboratories in the New
West. Things of wood are con
stantly, being fashioned for the
various other departments scat
tered around the campus. When
we called at his office a few days
ago Mr. Burch was studying the
plans for the great double doors
for the lobby of the new audi
torium and was preparing to
pass them on to the shop fore
man. -'
One of the recent achieve
ments of the wood-working
force is the fitting-out of the
new hall where . Harold S. Dyer
is soon to have the. dedicatory
organ recital. The white pine
for the grill at the back of the
stage and for the sash and win
dows came from California.
