Forty Years
Of Blunder and Service
Two score years this paper has
been the purveyor of news both
good and bad. Births, deaths,
honors, appointments, the per
egrinations of a faithful faculty,
the success or failure of athletic
teams, the growth of the village,
and the weather, together with
the sophomoric and learned edi
torial comment that the forty
editors and their brilliant assist
ants have seen fit from time to
time to give birth to.
The Neiv York Times was
eighty years old this past week.
The Tar Heel in retrospect over
?.ts forty years, half the life of
The Times, has erred, and can
this morning make no boast such
as The Atlanta Journal that it
"covers Dixie like the dew."
The Tar Heel is proud today of
but one thing that it has
grown. Development, growth,
and improvement are the only
things that are of any conse
quence in a world as far from
ideal as ours. Anything' static
deserves no place in the scheme
of things.
The accumulated experience of
thirty-nine editors has led us to
the opinion that a college paper,
with an unpaid staff whose serv
ices at best are rendered spon
taneously and occasionally, is in
capable of absolute coverage or
complete accuracy. The Daily
Tar Heel is more than a profes
sional paper the property of its
readers. But it is the property
of the entire student body. With
usual font, and but four pages,
there is no room for small minor
ities to grind especial axes at the
expense of the well-being of the
entire group or of; gifted per
sons who desire to see in print
poems and' other opus magni
wvhieh are their especial pride
but which may not happen to in
trigue the entire group. On the
other hand letters' to ! the editor
and pregnant ideas of interest
to the whole campus will now, as
always, be received with eager
ness. This paper is impartial in
attitude, both sides will be heard
as long as we are in active con
trol.' The editor being a bit
more fitted in journalistic judg
ment, the student body.is accus
tomed to leaving -to' the editors
of the past the responsibility as
to what shall be included in these
columns.
Forty years pa&ti i i today; we
now turn our endeavors to that
?j i i j
one criterion Dy wnicn we ae
sire to be judged and seek that
we shall continue to grow.
Looking
Up .
At the close of the last college
.term the University's outlook
was unusually gloomy with fac
ulty salaries being cut, and the
general public hard hit finan
cially. Critics on all sides-complained
that it would be at least
twenty years before the Univer
sity would be able to 'recover.
Others moaned over the possi
bility of the 1931 enrollment be-
ing much smaller than that of
previous years. Still others
quoted statistics to prove that
the best members of the facul
ty were rapidly ..being called to
higher positions. Taking every
thing into consideration there
appeared to be no hope wh&tso-
ever for the 1931-32 school year
being at all successful.
But as school opens this, year
the heavy cloud, which last
spring so completely over-shadowed
any sort of future .ad
vancement for the University,
has begun to lift.- Instead of a
smaller enrollment, it appears as
though the t number of students
will equal and even exceed that
of last year. Aside from that
fact, the students are this year
starting off with three entirely
new buildings Memorial hall,
Graham Memorial, and the Pat-terson-Morehead
bell tower
which have been completed
within the past six months. And,
regarding the loss of good fac
ulty members, most of the va
cancies left by professors leav
ing last year, have been filled by
exceptionally well fitted men.
As President Albright pointed
out in his address Friday morn
ing, the scene is all set for a
successful year for the Univer
sity. We have a larger enroll
ment, more equipment, and as
capable a faculty as has been
ours in many a day.
If the faculty and student
body will only look up they will
see that the sun still shines, and
that this is to be the best year
of our one hundred and thirty
seven. C.G.R.
The Whole
Intellect
Frequently one finds college
men who apparently have no
idea at all why they are in col
lege. Occasionally there appears
a man who with almost magic
like ease gets what he wants
without even knowing what he
wanted in the first place or dry
ing to get it in the second. They
are so rare, though, that to be
pragmatic one must be at least a
little idealistic. One wonders
what the four years of college
will do for him ; some drift, oth
ers toil, others try to live.
Stephen Leacock, the Canadian
author and . humorist, makes
some provocative comments in a
short essay on Oxford, the great
English University. As an
American himself he naturally
drew certain comparisons.
He says that in spite of the
vagueness, the obsoleteness, the
rank inefficiency of the organiza
tion and character of the Eng
lish college he still admired and
enviedit and largely, it seemed,
because they were "smoked" in
to their education, their culture.
Tutors and young English gen
tlemen would smoke and talk,
perhaps, a little about their
work among other things. And
there is a certain genuineness
and spontaneity , there which
cannot exist in a lecture room.
Relatives and controversial
ideas are in order there a lec
ture is final and absolute usual
ly. A. university life should be
much more than mere "passive
recipiency." It should let one's
"whole intellect" perform in a
whole situation. It is easy to
lose the avidity, the enthusiasm
which is really the key to cul
ture,' and become perilously
slavish to the standards, r the
averages, the unit measure
ments, the formalities which We
find necessary in American edu
cation. It is possible to com
bine both and supplement enthu
siasm with organization making
them both contribute to some
large ideai or purpose.
So often it seems that college
actually limits a man. He be
comes satisfied with small unit
results per se and tries to avoid
the possibility of being excited
or dominated by some large in
terest or 'feeling. He forgets
that ideas and feelings and di
rections and enthusiasms were
ever bigger than facts and
courses and units and results
alone. R.W.B.
Somehow we imagine that the
parents of Mrs. Lindbergh just
naturally knevthey'd have to do
a lot of taking care of the baby.

STUDENTS SOON
TO OCCUPY NEW !
MEMORIAL UNION
(Continued from preceding page)
On the back side starting
from the street, end the first
room is to be known as the Grail
room. It is to be furnished by
the Order of the Grail, but will
be open to all organizations for
their meetings. The next four
rooms can be opened into one
large hall which will be avail
able for banquets. When not
used as a banqueting hall these
rooms are to be used for com
mittee meetings. The last room
on this side will be another large
committee room.
Banquet Hall
The banquet hall will be fully
equipped with tables and cane
bottom bent-wood chairs. Al
though the banket hall is not as
yet totally completed the mana
ger has announced that arrange
ments for banquets may be made
now. The Lutheran Student
Association used the rooms for
this purpose last Friday night.
The offices of the student coun
cil and the publications will be
furnished with tables and chairs
by the building department.
In the basement the main
room will be furnished as a
game room. It is expected that
in three weeks this part of the
building will be ready for use.
Four billiard tables, four ping
pong tables, . six combination
inlaid checker and card tables,
and equipment for .all other
kinds of games will be placed
here. Besides these games the
room will be only partially
equipped with half a dozen oak
settee benches. These benches
were built with the help of Dr.
John Bookqr, who carefully
aided irf the plans.
Grill Room
On the side of this room, to
wards the main street there will
be a grill, where sandwiches,
pie, ice cream, cold drinks, and
cigarettes will be sold. A . part
of the room will be cut off from
the kitchen end and equipped
with tables and chairs. From
the kitchen is the dumb waiter
which runs up to the third floor
pantry. It is undecided as to
whom the grill concession will
be given, but there are several
firms bidding for the work.
On the opposite side, of the
game room from the grill will
be the barber shop which will be
operated by Mr. Green with
self-help students as assistants.
This shop .will also open within
the next fortnight and the rates
charged will be lower than those
in town.
Board of Directors
The new building will be di
rectly controlled by a hoard of
directors of fifteen members
representing alumni", faculty,
and students. The members of
this governing body, are the
president of the University,
Frank Graham ; the secretary of
the Y. M. C. A., Harry Comer ;
the dean of students, Francis F.
Bradshaw; the executive secre
tary of the University, R. B.
House; the president of the Gen
eral Alumni Association, Kemp
Battle Lewis; the alumni secre
tary, Maryon Saunders, the
president of tht student body,
Mayne Albright; the editor of
the Daily Tar Heel, Jack Dun
gan ; the manager of the unioi(,
Noah Goodridge: and three
I other student members of the
board of directors.
The Graham Memorial " was
used for the first time last Mon
day night when ' the reception
given annually by the president
of the -University to all the first
year men took place there "with
about 800 people attending.
The erection of the.marble
staircases in the front hall is
really all that has yet to be done
in connection with the construc-
; tion of the building. And as
j this will probably be completed
I by next week the building will
I soon be open for full use. After
TAR HEEL
completion every organization
and all students will be welcome
to the union. The three dollar
fee per year which is charged to
all students entitles them to all
privileges.
