Cor. Mgr. Friday, April 10, 1931 An Editor's Credo , Most college editors enter upon their new, duties with a zeal and inspiration that char acterizes most young men. They conceive great crusades for stu dent rights (just as if there were student rights apart from the rights of all men). They re volve in their heads collossal schemes for-the betterment of their institutions, their political and geographical divisions, or the race of man." This and more -some feel that they have on their shoulders a mantle which calls for great and noble deeds. tt ; These editors struggle with the average college audience for some few weeks and gradually sink down to the level of man kind which rebels at crusades, looks; at reformers, and has no use. for radicals. Taking . this : valuable lesson from those men who have pre ceded us, we enter our office with no : radical .ideas whatso ever, with no intention of recre ating a world which is a pretty good one, and with no fervor for political, social, or ethical up heavals. , . We are pledged to see that the Tar Heel grows that it takes its rightful place among the im portant college dailies in the United States, and further that each, issue as it comes from the presses is absolutely the best that could , have been accom plished , by an - intelligently trained and , fair-minded staff working in harmony for a bet ter University and a more, pro ductive and comfortable life. - The Daily Tar Heel is the property of the entire student body, with, each member of the . student body as a member of a giant board of directors which is in control of the. paper. The duty of the editorship is to in terpret the will of the largest number of the student . body. Loudspoken minorities will have "W OFF THL DLD rr- i n t What Ho I and the merry days of spring are once more with us. At least, it looks as if this weather will. stay with us for a few days. (It will probably be raining again by the time you read this, that is, if you do read this.) The law school will again start basking itself . between classes; the girls will take their. place in the sun, and gin will be come the popular drink. Dear, dear, and why shouldn't I be bright and gay with such an outlook? . . The old law building on Hen derson street is now a thing of the past. The wreckers and the town council have taken away another old land mark. Well, quite a few changes have taken place since I arrived on the old campus. (Echo from the rear Yes, they were starting to build Old East when you made your debut as a freshman.) Paul Story seems to resent people who whistle or sing such songs as "Gimme a little kiss, With Contemporaries will yuh, huh?" and- "Kiss Waltz" within . his hearing. didn't realize that Brother Story had such a sensitive, aesthetic nature. There must sbe some other reason. N. C. C. W. sent its .share of fair visitors to Chapel Hill dur ing the Easter holidays. J man aged to meet a. couple of , them most every morning in Patter son's over our tomato juice, and thus began another day. . One . of the visitors,1 whom I shall call "Beautiful" for short had a date with one of our lead ing iiumorists and punsters. Af ter listening to such things as "I have never seen a fouler girl, she decided that she had had enough. She told him that was five minutes of one and tha she had to go home. The future editor realized the truth in - her remarks, so he did as he was asked. After getting back to the house he found that her watch had said five minutes af ter eleven instead of five min- utes of one. -What, oh whot, is this town coming to? Not so many nights ago l saw a gin m tne waine Shop in flowing, blue pajamas, and a few minutes ago I saw some goof on Franklin Street in pajamas which were not so flowing and not so blue. If the fad increases, I wonder what the girl who wears a night gown is going to do. The report is abroad that Emmie Frances Polliell had a telephone call Wednesday night from some . boy who claimed to be one of her admirers of last year. The boy refused togive his name, saying that she should know it without being told, and Emmie Frances is still wonder ing the identity of the person Anent The New Education Editor The Daily Tar Heel : I am glad to see the Tar Heel taking an interest in education al matters, as is shown by the number of articles appearing on the editorial page. I hope how ever that the time will come when more of them will be writ ten by students here. In the discussions of educa- ional matters we all should re member that experience muse have a part as well as mere heory. Many fine theories go to not from sheer inertia. I be- ieve it was Jefferson who said something to the effect that those people are best governed who are least governed. He knew about this inertia busi ness, it tne Russian experi ment can, survive too much gov ernment it may. work, but it has a hard road ahead to keep the people up to the high; pitch necessary to: carry ' out such- program. ; People get tired of being rushed here and there, be ing made to sign up for this and that, in short they get terribly bored with too much . govern ment. The same thing applies in education. We may think ou m the seclusion ot our rooms very fine schemes of education They, are all doomed to failure because they all proceed on the assumption, that there exists some ideal machinery of educa tion whereby every thing will go smoothly and every student will be guaranteed an education if he will conform. The gods may know;about it, - t'The central point in all education is that we must all get it ourselves by dig ging in, it can come . no other way. We may pass some cours es but we cannot , even get on the .road to an education until we are willing to pay the price of individual effort. . Examina tions or no examinations, two hour classes or one hour classes or no classes at all, tutors, hon ors, courses, reading periods or what not, tne central tact re mains that we are not going to get any education unless we are willing to put out for it. When we are ready to do that then nothing can keep us from . some kind of worth while education. , I write this letter merely to encourage our students to think about the educational problem and write about it if they will, but not to put too much faith in , any scheme which, it is thought will . open up . the royal road to learning. There is no royal road and it is just as well that there is not. A few years ago Dean Hibbard offered a pian to the students which I thought was a good one, whereby those who , thought themselves being sufficiated in the ..mass of medi ocrity could . escape into the elysian fields xf freedom, where there would be no class attend ance at all. A student was to go his own way and dig in to his heart's content. . When this was announced we all expected to see the plan swamped with applicants. On the contrary the intellectuals who had been do ing all the talking .about the present stupid system somehow silently stole away and, I sup pose, all went back to the poor makeshift of courses and credits Declaration Of Independence In deciding to allow entrance credit in subjects which do not conform exactly with the Col- ege Board Requirements, the University of California adopts an excellent solution to a peren nial problem. Unable to change the rigidity of the board system, California follows other colleges in declaring its emancipation from this restrictive mechan ism. Although the general clamor against the narrowing influence of College Board Examinations on school curricula t has been fully justified, some colleges have been less rigorous than is often supposed in their adher ence to board standards. In special instances Princeton has granted credit for work in non- theoretical music ; through the New Plan of admission Harvard, Yale, and other universities al low considerable latitude in the choice of subjects presented for entrance. Schools cannot provide the best educational opportunities, as schoolmasters continually ex plain, if they are strait-jacketed by college admission require ments. - - The entrance examina tion system by its very nature can never be really flexible, but colleges can neutralize its re strictive influence by allowing credit for subjects outside its narrow range. By its recent de cision California joins a number of Eastern colleges in taking a liberal attitude on the question. This stand indicates that col leges are recognizing more com pletely what they can do to off set limitations which . a strictly interpreted examination system places on secondary schools Harvard Crimson. buyers. They are most cf them partly cr wholly irresponsible for the source cf their income; hey have not learned intimately the pressure of working fcr every cent they spend. Of course, exaggerated pic tures have been painted of the super-wealthy college man, but even though they may be par tially false, there is enough truth in them to warrant a lit tle hesitancy on the part of the college man who thinks his lot is too hard. The college man will make pologies for these extraordi nary expenses, and he will prob ably list, among other things, the following items of. his budget that he will not have to pay when he is out of school: Fraternity bills from 20 to $60. Honorary initiation fees from 5 to $20. College dances from $2 to $15. College fees f rom $20 to $125. Transportation to school from $5 to $40 monthly. The college man is likely to find all these expense items cut out completely, and a lot more items down considerably less money for collegiate clothes, for collegiate dates, for collegiate "good times," and so on. The alumnus was right. It will be quite a "come-down" for a great many collegians to start paying rent, taxes, board and all petty expenses from a start ing salary of $30, or $40 a week, after Dad's elastic monthly check.
