Wednesday, October 7, 1931 The Graham Memorial Marathon Upon Mondays the workmen, under the supervision of an ex pert in his line, paint the lobby of that long awaited-f or struc turethe Graham Memorial .building. Tuesdays they ener getically sand paper the walls to remove" the paint applied the day before. Wednesdays it is paint ing again, etc. Scheduled to open successively at Commencement, then Convo cation, it has lately been an nounced that the building will be finished by November 11. Khufu and Khaf ra of Egypt could have experienced no more delay proportionately in the building: of their pyramids. It is estimated that -one hundred thousand men worked for two score years to build, the Great Pyramid. The Graham Me morial, it is to be remembered, was finished with the exception of the interior when the present artists were employed to bring J to a speedy end the long labors of the past ten years. Then came the depression. Public spirited contractors sought to relieve the local situation by a slow completion of Graham Me morial. But, the artisans at work on the' building have their 'cares. They have to endure the Bach fugues, the Beethoven symphon ies, and Handel's compositions of a musically inclined sopho more who uses the Graham Me morial piano. These artistic souls are delayed in their work by shattered nerves so broken. Yesterday they were further impeded in their work by Tar Heel reporters bent upon their business, and heedless of the wet paint. We are all weary with con jecturing, but nevertheless feel that due to the fact that the stu dent body pays some $7,500 or $8,000 yearly for the support of said Graham Memorial we have a legitimate right to inquire of Mr. Page, building foreman How soon, oh how soon? Dumb Football Men! Not occasionally but almost every day some flat-chested pro fessor leans over his protecting desk and maligns the few ath letes that have come to listen to him say what he has to say; It is hardly an adult f habit to acquire yet, not a few of our most respected professors feel that in order to establish more firmly their own intellectual superiority they must laugh at the less intellectual interests and habits of their class-room followers. , Repetition of any idea tends to become tire some and the repetition of one that is unjust becomes after a while intolerable not because it is vicious (because a thing is vicious only when everyone thinks' it's vicious; otherwise it's just funny) but because it's tire some. Perhaps professors x. y. z. and a. b. c. are not aware of the fact that football today is not the neck - breaking, bone - crushing game of the Ws and '90's or even of the '10's. The football player as a rule today is a fair ly intelligent animal whose in terest happens at present to be football and not quantitative geometry or the paleolithic peri od. And who" is to say that one interest is more than the other? "worth while" The frequent generalization heard from pro fessorial pulpits to the effect that the barbaric mentality as sumes the proportions of the genius when compared to the football player's reveals little more than the fact that the pro fessor himself is speaking from a vast and glorious ignorance. Then too it seems as though the professor who is forever harping on athletic stupidity is merely seeking a key hole or an exit through which he may crawl and shirk the responsibil ity of interesting his classes with vital real material. He cannot interest his class, it dozes and a heavy languor spreads over it so the professor speaks with condescending acidity and refers to the "stupidity" of his ath letic students, perhaps inferring his remarks subtly but usually not so subtly. Less talk about stupidity and more real teach ing would make things happier all the way around. R.W.B. Business As A Social Service The student who has intend ed entering business after he has completed his college career sel dom, thinks of this type of work as a real social service. He has in mind the numerous oppor tunities that he might have for promotion, or how many years he will have to work before he is able to get married. These, along with a few" others, are the main thoughts running through an undergraduate's head in re gard to his future as a business man. Not for one instants is l?e concerned with the fact that such a field serves as an excel lent opportunity for being of ac tual service to his fellow men. While he is in college he studies all of the theories of busi ness administration, how he can reduce production costs, which is the best method of organizing a corporation, and thousands of such problems and solutions which will be of benefit to him later. His studies, generally speaking, are centered on how he can increase profits, paying little attention to the quality of the production. To secure more money is his highest goal. Thousands of the business con cerns in this country today are being run with this same goal in view. What few there are that are trying to run and at the same ists. Hence his slightest move time be of actual benefit to hu-is subject to thouands of criti manity, are only eeking out their cisms. Of course it's his busi existence. With such an aim'ness if he chooses to be individ they are no match for the other ual and wear corduroy trousers concerns whose main purpose is to increase their gains by any means whatsoever. Under the present conditions the consumer is looked upon merely as a source of more reve nue. He is not given a thought when profits are increased. In stead, as is often the case, the business head increases the price of goods rather than reduce them for the benefit of the buyer. To benefit the customers is not his purpose, but rather to boost his own business. We have yet to see the man who reduces prices of goods for the sole purpose of helping the hot so well-to-do class of society. When a reduction is made today, it is done in order to place goods in the range of more people, thus increasing sales. This in turn increases profits, and makes possible a still further price re duction, but the latter never is made. Until business men begin to look upon their trade as a means of helping society to live more cheaply and comfortably, rather than as a means of increasing their own personal possessions, they are failing in their work, and the world will continue to think of business as a game in which the slickest schemer wins. rC. G. R. A Dedication k With Music Sometime during the course of the next month, the Patter-son-Morehead Memorial bell tower is to be dedicated, and we already hear the hours strike from its clock. Fortunately we have not yet heard that some one will speak on the subject at the time we hope that we won't hear of them. Let us announce here that we appreciate the gift deeply, and we are sure that the student body does, and that the .donors know that it does; so we feel that it would be superfluous and irritating to have someone im ported to tell Mr. Patterson and Mr. Morehead that we do. In all seriousness, we suggest that a musical fete of some kind would be far more suitable and certainly the student body would enjoy it and appreciate the sig nificance of the occasion much more. V We believe that someone, one, such as Mr. Lamar String field, could arrange and direct a festival of the nature of one held . a year ago in Charlottes ville, Virginia, a festival in which native musicians, sang, and in which folk music was used. P.W.H. With Contemporaries What Price Individuality? The college man, above all else, strives to be individual. In everything he does, every thing he wears, there is a note of "this is me, a college man. I am one above many. Can't you tell it by looking at me?" Whether or not this individu ality is flattering is beside the point. What is relevant is the fact that by such a display of obvious egotism the university student is calling down more and more the criticisms of the "out siders" upon his head. The col lege man favors raccoon coats. Immediately songs -ridiculing raccoon coats appear, people start everlasting talk about "these wild college kids." The college man is watched by the entire nation, and rightly so, for from the institutions of higher learning come tomorrow's statesmen, scholars, and scient- or coonskin coats; but it does not remain his business. His home town is watching him, oth er students' home towns are watching just as closely. He is under the microscope of public opinion, So the next time you hear someone say: "Oh, those college kids. They're always thinking up some darn-fool idea. They're just a bunch of hare-brained children,"-go right ahead with your individuality. People will forget about it. Oh yes! Daily Kansan, Depression and The "Degree" In the past few years the typ ical undergraduate came from parents who were fairly well-to-do and who were only too ready to proclaim our present econom ic system as the smoothest road to Utopia. These undergradu ates reflected their parents' at titudes and came j to college merely for the purpose of ob taining a "degree." Looking at the same parents today one is surprised to see that many of them awakened to the fact that our so-called pros perity was not permanent. Af fected financially by this depres sion, they have been forced to think about the whole system, searching for remedies. Under graduates of today, coming from these families with less spending money in their pockets and at the same time knowing that many holders of college degrees are out of work, will tend to insure themselves that this "degree" for which they have saved their money, wihVmean more than a certificate and the right to add two letters to their names. .. The present depression is be coming an impetus to much needed youth movements in American colleges similiar . to those found in Germany and Spain, for it has stirred many of us out of a state of lethargy in to a state of active thinking Daily Cardinal. Student Government Office in Graham Memorial Open Chapel Period and 3:30-4:30 Every Day Except Saturday and Sunday The University of North Caro lina can justly lay claim to a system of complete self-government by the students. The sys tem is recognized by the Board of Trustees and is self-sustaining and self -perpetuating. The student council is frequently aided but never .controlled by faculty advice. The student union sets up its own court of appeals. . Since this is the fact, it is necessary, in order to avoid mis understanding, to explain the existence and the function of the Faculty Executive Committee, which handles a large proportion of the cheating cases which arise each year. "The only faculty agency which deals directly with' af fairs of student discipline and honor is the Faculty Executive Committee. This committee may handle an offence that is re ported by a member of the fac ulty, if he prefers to refer it to. the committee rather than to the student council. Cases originat ing with students are, in prac tically every instance, acted up on by the student council. It has been the practice of the' student council to turn over certain cases of quiz book similarities where a technical knowledge is involved to the faculty committee to turn over cases of student discipline, even when reported directly to it, to the council. The two groups work separately, but with a' complete understanding, and there is no appeal from the deci sions of the one to the other." (Page 14, Student Government atU.N.C.)
