Not only is there a chance of being forced to use these age- old benches, but it has been ru mored that there is a possibility of having to buy a second-hand curtain for the stage of the new building. - To us this situation seems to be in a pretty bad way, but it apparently does not seem so to the law-makers in the Capital. Not satisfied with the condition of the University funds, they in-, tend to make the situation even worse. To have to use second hand benches and second-hand curtains is bad enough, but if this ten per cent cut goes through, all of our faculty will be taken away by better paid in stitutions, and the first thing we know we will be having every thing just alike. That is, during chapel period we will sit in second-hand benches, look at a second-hand curtain, and, then we go to class only to hear a bunch of second-hand professors. C. G. R. Wednesday, January 21, 1931 Peace Time Service The entire United States has been called upon to aid the American Red Cross in its ef forts to relieve suffering in Ar kansas and other states. Presi dent Hoover .recently appointed an advisory committee composed of many prominent men to aid the Red Cross in its efforts to raise ten million dollars for re lief work. The United States Senate has been stirred to ac tion.. And it is apparent that there must be real suffering if the Senate is really seeking to act and not to investigate. This suffering is a national problem. Droughts and depres sion have caused conditions which we usually picture as ex isting in foreign countries and not in the United States. An appeal will be made to the stu dents of the University and to the townspeople to contribute to the Red Cross fund. It is an ap peal which should be answered by everyone, no matter how small the amount. We are prone to dig deep into our pockets to aid those in" for eign lands, forgetting all the while, that such conditions may exist near home. We have been called on often this year to con tribute to charitable organiza tions. And we may be tired of hearing of more appeals for money. But we cannot say that this is just another appeal. Americans, just as we are, are actually in need of food. Posters used so effectively to encourage giving to foreign relief might possibly be used advantageously in 'this drive. Let us for a moment forget that the depression has hit us as well as the sufferers in other states; let us forget that the ap peals for aid have been many and frequent this year and let us give something to aid the Red Cross in its efforts to relieve those in the middle west. And no' matter what our political creed may be and no matter what we may think of the disagree- "Now Is the Time . . . ." "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country." The red menace of Communism is slowly, insidious ly, extending its baleful influence throughout our land. Etc. Rep resentative Fish and his com mittee of defenders of the faith have risen in wrath and recom mended to the House of Repre sentatives that Congress take immediate steps to outlaw the Communist party in America, cancelling the citizenship of its members; deport all alien Com munists; prevent further na turalization of Communists; and bar Communist publications from the mails. The committee declared , that there are between five arid six hundred thousand organized Communists in the United States today, with head quarters in New York directed from Moscow. The committee was assuredly acting sincerely in submitting its report, but its recommendations appear radical and heedlessly I alarming. The committee is rec ommending that the United States government revert to the methods used in former times to suppress revolutionary move ments, methods which time has proved unsuccessful. All the monarchies used harsh methods to suppress movements toward democracy and failed. In the latter part of the nineteenth cen tury Germany engaged in a long combat upon the Socialists, and accomplished nothing. Russia itself, after centuries of terror ism and strict suppression of liberal movements is today the cradle of Communism, that spec ter which is haunting the Fish Committee now. History should teach us that any such measures as. are pro posed would be both useless and unfair. If Communism is pow erful and vital enough to over throw our present government, suppression will but quicken the fall. Invariably it has happened in the past. If no real ganger threatens, suppression is a use less curb upon freedom of thought. The Tar Heel And Boxing Editor Daily Tar Heel: Last Friday night it was my good fortune to witness the box ing meet between North and South Carolina universities. I admit readily that I have seen better cards, but I arise in indignation to the way these bouts were written up in the Tar Heel. It is not South Carolina's fault for not having better ma terial with which to give Caro lina's team more opposition ; neither is it the fault of the new men wearing Carolina's col ors. There was not a man fight ing who was not trying to win and do his best. I think it mighty poor sports manship for some fellow, who in all probability has never been in a ring, to come out in his college paper and say which was the poorest bout. After all what does the boy get for training hard and living right? A few pats on the back and see his name in the papers. In the case I refer to, his first varsity fight in which he was naturally nervous and conserva tive. Then to be referred to as the noorest fiffht. I think it downright dirty. This is the first time I have written an article for this pa per ; however on several occa sions I have seen my name in print relating to my activities on former boxing teams. For this reason I think myself quali fied to have an opinion of how a boxer feels in the squared circle and out. C.

It certainly is a dis heartening bit of news and there isn't much that we can do about it. But may I offer a sugges tion, which I believe is basically sound, and perhaps with some alterations should prove prac tical. Why can't we sell seats to in dividualsthe money received will be used for buying seats for the new auditorium that will be adequate, comfortable, and in harmony with the structure. At $5.00 a seat it would be possible, out of the student body, faculty, towns people, and friends in the state, to sell 1800 seats. If the receipts from these sales aren't sufficient to pay for the new seats it would not be very diffi cult for the school or some kind "uncle" to make up the differ ence. . . ' To add stimulus to the pur chase of the seats it may not be a bad . idea to have the purchas er's names placed on the various seats. This method was used, to a certain extent, in building the old Memorial hall and I believe the same method, in another form, would help to put the fin ishing touches on the new audi torium.

A new dis covery of cranial measurements which I began studying during the War, and have just develop ed, enables me to ascertain the political views and ; beliefs of students by a mere glance at the bony sheath which protects the temporal lobe and other parts of the brain. For instance, the very instant I meet with a new class, I can predict accurately that, for example, 23 will fail, 14 will believe I am nothing but a bag of wind; 3 will use psychology in later, life, and so forth. "Take the specimen that I have marked "long head", for example. The great length of line from C to D' is proof that his brain capacity is sufficient to enable him to absorb the contents of an ordinary course by attending one class each week. Naturally he is opposed to required attendance. In the specimen marked ."Narrow Head," the length of the line from the bridge of the nose to the top of the cranium, identical with the length of line A-B', gives us evi dence of a highly developed frontal lobe, and four-square judgment. Such a man will naturally have the good sense to favor optional attendance. "In the specimen I have marked 'Low Head', we find a man of marked mental characteristics. The size of the nose and the com paratively short line 'A-B' indicates close coordination between the Post-Central Convolution, the Pons, and the Cutaneous Kinesthetic area. Such a coordinated in dividual is naturally very ambitious. He believes that the more other people are ab sent,, the" higher will be his own grade, relatively, and n a. 1 LOW HEAD uaiuiauj vutes lur upiiuii-u attendance, but never misses a class himself. - 1 "The average man we find in the specimen marked 'Short Head'. He is on the Daily Tar Heel staff, a mem ber of Sigma Nu. He is will ing to listen to reason, and if he votes at all, it will be to , change something. If, as in dicated by my careful measure ment of the length of the line 'C-D' he believes things are all right as they are, he will not take the trouble to vote."

Lindbergh, Art Shires, One Eyed Connolly, and Jim Bausch, Oklahoma's new governor, "Al falfa Bill" Murray, is a news "natural." He fairly exudes col our. His life flaunts itself be fore you; you are aware of the odor of oil wells, of stale rooms where men and women wash and eat and linger without ventila tion ; you visualize a lank, cadaverous-faced man with mono theistic fanaticism tempered by a spoken zeal for liberating the labourer ; you- picture him es pousing an obtuse philosophy that has for its skeleton a hatred of opulence, of culture, of professional taciturnity. You cannot imagine him changing his underwear, or washing his teeth, or bathing daily. "Bred where life was a ceaseless circle of eating, work ing, sleeping, where intellectual ity was harboured rather than allowed freedom, where taxes were believed to be the spending money of politicians with a yen for gambling and drinking, where amusement was an imple ment of the Devil and his ini quity, he grew into a crustaceous manhood with no knowledge of languor or beauty; indeed he had a contempt for them so strong that facets of them such as clean white shirts, neckties, and two pairs of trousers belong ing to two different coats were like a red flag waved before his thin, dun-coloured face. He has begun with a marvel ous or wealthy state still in its adolescence. It remains to be seen whether he will inculcate in it his stringent puritanism and his benevolence to God whether . it will tolerate his scourge on the dilettante, his rapier-like ad vances on higher education, and his proposed obliteration of gentle pastimes like football. He has begun with a marvel ous orchestration from his own vocal chords. He seems tireless. He actually walked across the state, when not riding free as a hitch-hiker, campaigning.

What a Great School That Would Be Although the day of mergers has seemed to have reached and passed its day of glory, it still seems to be quite the thing in North- Carolina. We have al ready experienced it on our cam pus; and now we read that a merger of the state colleges of North Carolina namely, Uni versity of North Carolina, N. C. Stateand N. C. C. W. has been recommended by leading edu cators in this state, and has the governor's approval. The new plan calls for only one board of trustees and is expected in every way to strengthen the three in stitutions. The merger will not be a physical one, each campus and all campus activities remain ing the same as they are now. All diplomas, however, are to be given in the name of the Uni versity of North Carolina. We hope that these colleges may de rive as much benefit from their approaching merger as we have acquired from our recent simi lar experiment. Queens Blues.
