Morgan , and comDanv to be- come president . of , the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, reorgan ized athletics at that institution. Athletics will be placed on the same .basis as other activities and will be given the same em phasis. As a result of the changes which are the most drastic in the modern history of intercol legiate athletics a ten-thousand-dollar-year coach loses his job, spring football and : pre-season training become taboo and stu dent, and alumni athletic board members are given the gate. Proselyting and "scouting" of prep school athletes are expect ed to be ended. And the authors of the Carnegie Bulletin 23 will probably twiddle their thumbs in glee as they read the state ment of President Gates. The statement says: "Coaches will be members of the faculty of the department and will have suitable academic rank. All coaches will be employed on a full-time basis and will receive compensation in accordance with their rank and with the salary scale provided for all members of the university fac ulty. In no case will the com pensation of coaches be in ex cess of such provisions.- "The academic eligibility of students to participate in inter collegiate athletics will be de termined by a committee of five members of the university fac ulty to be appointed -annually by the president, and the deci sions of this committee will be J final. ? "Provision for financial -and .other aid for needy students, en gaging in r intercollegiate ath letics will , be placed ppon, the same basis ak.jsrovisions for aid to all other needy students. . "There will be a definitely stated policy with respect to the participation of students in more than one sport, the wishes and the welfare of the student being the principal guiding fac tor instead of the desires of the coaches, as is too often the case." . f ; Just how the plan. will work put in practice we, will not ven ture to say , but we are of the opinion . that . Pennsylvania's students are learning something of, big business . methods of dealing with those little busi nesses which are irritating but not serious. . The students are the. ones affected and unless stu dent sentiment is in accord with the reorganization program then it seems ., that President Gates will find his Utopian athletic scheme just another of those theories. The , Entertainment Program - We notice that.Carola Goya, - - - - t the Spanish dancer, will appear in the first presentation of the enjrtainment committee this yelr. . . .... The notice. of the first presen tation of 4he. entertainment com mittee .brings to. mind its - pre sentations, in the past. The first year. of,, the, ;. existence of .this committee., was , a very success ful one from the point of. -view of both the. type of presenta tions and the .manner in which they were received.- There seemed to be a general f eeling of enthusiasm , among( ;the . stu dents as; to the future possi bilities of : the entertainment program. However, ; during the next year? the program .appar ently, decreased in interest and consequently was not , so , sue cessful from. the. student, point of view. Therefore, in order to remedy, this, students in. -the college of .liberal arts were giv en the opportunity of expressing their, . choices tf or f uture enter tainment presentations. ; We are wondering, how much their, de sires have been followed in,, the selection of this year's program. . The student , entertainment program is financed largely., by students and - exists primarily for their enjoyment and benefit and -if the program, is not of a type pleasing to them it de feats its purpose. We are very much' in agreement with the idea of an entertainment -pro gram, but think that the choice of t the students : should deter mine . the presentations on the program. J. C. S. Government Says Morals of college students are not as bad as some stories would indicate, investigation of under graduate life at fifty-two of the largest universities in the coun try, including the University of Minnesota, revealed in a survey by the federal government, dis closed yesterday. ' Congress appropriated, in 1927,; a sum to be used to in vestigate all land grant colleges. 164,000 resident students are en rolled in these universities. The report gives a grudging approval to fraternities and so rorities, but urges better coop eration with university officials. "On every campus," the re port is said to state, "there. are activities which the college does not sanction. But organizations of mystery and secrecy no long er operate. - --u;' "Some organizations are form ed to foster revoltagainst cusr tomj -but. these -groups are usur ! ally loosely arranged, and are soon discontinued without harm With Contemporaries THE DAILY to the institution where they were founded. "Gamblers and drinkers often tend to form societies , of -their own. These usually are broken up without harm to anyone ex cept the participants. Universi ty routine is too strenuous for a person who cannot concentrate on studies." Attitudes shown by college au thorities towards , fraternities and sororities ranged from hearty commendation to absolute indifference. Fraternity "rushing" systems are condemned for selling the fraternity to a prospect, rather than making it attractive by merit alone. The pledge method of rushing sorority candidates, used by many universities at the present time, was given the approval of the investigating committee. . .Under the .system, generally used, all sororities turn in bids to one officer .who asks each woman to state her 'preferences. She is given a bid from r the sorority whose name appears first on her list, providing ,that group has a bid for her.r. If it has not, she is given a bid from the sorority of her second choice. F.Only one bid goes to each woman. Scholarship of fraternities is showing marked improvement. The idea that poor -' scholarship and success, in Jife are directly related is disappearing. -; , Universities and i fraternities should cooperate, it was said, in keeping .up standards of the in stitutions. . . "Institutions fre quently reported," , quotes . the survey, "that students' rooms were . unclean. . and disor derly, that sleeping , quarters were crowded . and , unsuitable for group life, that the fire haz ard was great,, and, that the stor age and preparation of food was unsanitary." v,... . Drinking, improper-dancing, discourtesy! to t, chaperons and other difficulties were listed in the. report as j, common social troubles of universities. Minne sota Daily. OPEN FORUM More .Education , , . -,. The Chapel. Hill Movie Guild, "started with the view of put ting on educational and artistic pictures Sunday afternoons for the benefit-of various . charities around -Chapel Hill," is present ing regularly ta its members such, entertainment ....as., the "Krazy Kat" and "Our Gang" comedies. In the opinion of the humble writer, these are not exactly educational and show no artistic touch. The most gracious di rectors should consider the fact that the majority who attend these Sunday afternoon attrac tions are either college students or townspeople, and that they have long ago put aside their childish ways and become men and women. . Anyone who ex pects the average college student to enjoy an "Our Gang" comedy must have a warped imagina tion. , If the crowd that saw the Sun day shows were mainly child ren, or even high school stu dents, there .would be some reason to present a "Krazy Kat" comedy or an "Our Gang," but for University students and col lege professors it is absurd. Col lege students should at least be given credit for having grown up, even though sometimes they do not act it. To show such a picture as educational is the height of a j oke. Perhaps , the directors can't secure beneficial films and makenice size profit, we'll say for charity; if so, why not say so, and cut the whole thing out. t any rate, we hope. we will no have to face "Our Gang", any more. B. H. . I TAB HEEL Why Hit University To the Editor: In our worthy, ! though somewhat , blind, desire I to cut state appropriations we (should be guided by at least a (sense of fairness to the educa tional institutions of the State. I refer in particular to the Uni versity of North Carolina. : No well informed North Caro linian doubts the great useful ness of the University at Chap el Hill and its magnificent rec ord of one hundred and thirty seven years of service and devo tion to the State and nation. Every well informed citizen of this state is proud of Chapel Hill's high standing in educa tional circles of the nation, and is particularly proud of the fact that the University of North Carolina has been admitted to the very select American Asso ciation of Universities, which has only twenty-seven members and to which only three institu tions in the south have been con sidered sufficiently developed to have been admitted. Yet, today we are apparently doing our level Ibest to lower the standards of the University and to curtail its usefulness to the State. In 1929 the General As sembly appropriated $875,000 to the University for. each of the next two fiscal years. The Gov ernor, as director of the budget, cut this ten per cent the first year; the second year he cut this twenty per cent in a justified attempt to , oaiance tne Duqget. Ipw the proposed, appropriation for' next year is $563,000 morel than $300,000 less than the ap propriation of two years ago! This cut is far greater than the average cut for state de partments and institutions; why is the University singled out? MRS. t. F. HARRIS onesbqro, N. C. Greensboro Daily News. . WAR BLAMED FOR ECONOMIC SLUMP (Continued from preceding page) goods, for we have too many of our, own. Germany , must sell these goods to get money, and jKdien she seeks new markets, she runs into American competition, which largely controls these mar kets. This, is merely an example of what other European nations are facing to-day. Europe is in he,samestate bf industrial de pression as the United States. , .... "There has , been, - and is at present .a technological revolu tion going .on in the world. The machine has. displaced a large number of workers. It is true that other industries spring up to use some of these workers, but there, is a , steadily, increas ing efficiency, in the industrial output oi our country per worker, and our unemployment figures have been steadily mounting for the last few years. "There have, been marked shifts in the demands of the consumer, such as wagon manu facturing giving away to the manufacture of automobiles. This change calls for a new type of workman, thereby throw ing many old craftsmen out of work. "Another cause of our present economic depression is the re cent stock crash, and with it the crash of our credit t system, which resulted from high inter- Now Playing "The Life of the Party" with WINNIE LIGHTNER also Comedy Novelty yf Iplijf est rates on call money. This caused many companies to use surplus and even merchandise money on the market, thus re moving it from industrial use. "Our economic machinery has broken down. The old system of laissez-faire has been discarded in favor of mergers and mono polies. Someone must modernize our present industrial system. But how? And v by whom? No one knows, but it will certainly have to be done. before industry gets back on its feet and before we again become prosperous.1 Decent Pay Necessary For Better Iristructibh Says President4 Grraham (Continued from preceding page) not be made to pay for those who have. ; To tear down is aj wasteful, way to" build up.

No im provements have yet been made on the grounds but plans are un derway to level off the yard fcr a lawn, to plant shrubbery, asd to trim the trees. Forty-three years have seen a tremendous growth of the lo cal lodge. Its membership at present is 204, including towns people, students, and faculty members. University Lodge Number 408, as it was char tered, has probably done more courtesy work than any other club in the state. Outside mem bers who have come to Chapel Hill as students have been glad ly transferred into this lodge. A part of the present member ship is composed of students of the University. The largest part is made up of Chapel Hill busi ness men, with a few faculty men included. N. B. Henry was the first mas ter of the local lodge. He has been followed by twenty-one others down to, and including, the present master, John W. Humphreys. . They were : D. McCauley, 1890, deceased; W. N. Pritchard, 1891-i900 and 1908, deceased; Jho.
