Thursday, October 8, 1931 , Upon This Subject of Graft (Continued from first page) to issue detailed statements of its business. The spotlight of inquiry being turned upon student taxation, the Daily Tar Heel foreseeing an unusually honest regime this year and having no fear on that score, is apprehensive of the years that are to come when prosperity once more returned public interest in strict economy will have abated. We therefore call upon President Graham, and President Albright to institute, by not later than November first, a University Student Audit Bureau to be composed of two disinterested and reliable faculty persons and the president of the student body, the duty of which bureau being the appointment of one auditing firm imported from without the village to inspect the accounts of all official student enterprises, to wit: The Stu dent Entertainment Committee, The Publications Union Board, the Debate Council, student gov ernment, Graham Memorial, the Y. M. C. A. contributions, and the Athletic Council. Upon the request of the Inter-fraternity Council, the literary societies . and other organizations of a quasi-public nature, 'the Univer sity Student Audit Bureau should be empowered to inspect for their satisfaction the books of such organizations. The businesses of the campus activities, dependent in whole or in part upon student blanket fees, should terminate at the end of a fiscal year upon the fifteenth of April to permit of the audit ing of all accounts and their pub lication in The Daily Tar( Heel by the University Student Audit Bureau by May first, before stu dent memory and student inter est has been lessened by a vaca tion of three months. Further, it is highly undemo cratic and illiberal to impose fees upon student generations who follow the ones in which such fees win approval and which they have had no part in creating, and therefore The Daily Tar Heel calls upon the president of the student body to submit all student fees to a vote of re-approval or disapproval luring the month of December, and earnestly implores that this practice be instituted in Caro lina's unwritten constitution to be repeated at least every four years, and not more than once yearly. With 1 Contemporaries Another Experiment In Education Syracuse Universty in New York has added its name to that list of colleges and universities experimenting with groups of students in an effort to discover the most effective and efficient means of teaching young men and women. It has selected 20 of the most brilliant members of its freshman class in the lib, eral arts school to participate in what is to be known as the tutorial survey course. Differing from existing cours es at Syracuse both in subject matter and in methods of in struction, this course has been designed for students of out standing ability and cultural in terests. Approximately three fifths" of ; the student's time which would normally be spent in the recitation room will be his own. This time will be giv en over to supervised reading courses which will involve a study of the successive phases of civilization. The survey will be assigned under a tutorial system, in which each student will be assigned a tutor who will guide his work and give him individual help and supervision. There will be no requirements of attendance at lectures, recita tions, and classes. Apart from a few hours given to an essay and the conference, the time will be free for reading. Although this course is only in the experimental stage, it does involve certan principles of education that are -worthy of consideration. In the first place, it puts the individual student on his own responsibility, so far as possible, in getting what he con ceives to be an education. The overdoing of this principle is dangerous. The majority of students are naturally, inclined to be a bit mentally lazy it's human nature and are apt not to do the required amount of work if there is no driving force behind them other than the dic tates of their own conscience. Individual responsibility n is a great habit to be developed in the college student, but its de velopment must be undertaken warily, unless the student is of exceptional calibre. Each student, enjoying the in dividual attention of his tutor, will receive advice and guidance adaptable to his own immediate needs and difficulties. He will have opportunities, impossible in a large class, to criticize, question, and discuss ; he will be stimulated by the need to de fend, in personal conference and conversation, his assertions and arguments. . Obviously this system would be impossible with a body of several thousand students. The majority of such a large group would not be the type of stu dent to follow this kijid of study anyway. It is entirely possible, though, that future years will see the advent of such courses for selected groups in leading colleges and universities. Pur due Exponent. Knowledge Or History Is . Essential Today It is not difficult to convince the average business student that English, mathematics, and economics will serve him in good stead in later life, but he has al ways wondered what benefit he was going to derive from his pa tient labor upon the minute de tails of past events. Exhausted from his scholarly pursuit of the conventional "six causes and four results," the future bond salesman is justified in his dilli gence will do him. The ready reply of the pedagogue has al ways consisted of a demonstra tion that a sound knowledge of history enables him to appreci THE DAILY ate the .background and import ance of current events, and thereby enjoy life more fully and be a better citizen. But sadly enough, the exer tion of mental effort for his own satisfaction or in the interests of goodgovernment does not ap peal to Mr. Jones. He is more interested in the delicate humor of the comic page and the de lightful details of the latest crime of violence than in the "history in the making" which appears in every newspaper. He does not want to think unless he is paid for it, and it is rather difficult to convince him that his knowledge or lack of knowledge of the three policies of the Con gress of Vienna will ever affect the contours of his purse. The events of the past sum mer should convince. Mr. Jones. It is obvious that the duration and severity of the present de pression is of the greatest in terest to everyone and that a complete understanding of the situation is highly desirable. And such an understanding is not possible without thorough study of the political history of the post-war period which requires a familiarity with the entire modern epoch. In fact, the gap between the economic and pol itical history of the world has become so narrow that intelli gent action in business today de mands a knowledge of history. Minnesota Daily. - SPEAKING the CAMPUS MIND Bravo, Mr. Posey! To the Editor The Daily Tar Heel. WeT are taking the advantage offered by the Open Forum to express our appreciation of the Tar Heel. We believe that good projects should be praised, as there is all too much criticism of a destructive nature. As freshmen we would feel insecure in writing our opinion of the daily paper, but Mr. Posey, our English instructor, has called our class's attention to the good points, and to the interesting edi torials that appear, and the con census of opinion is that the Tar Heel is fine, and should have stu dent support. We hope that those whom you mentioned in a recent editorial as critics unjustly harping on the non-existent de fects of the paper could realize how much instruction is con tained in its columns. We have learned much from the edi torials, especially that despite what certain people think, there are serious thinkers on the Uni versity campus, and that these are well equipped with tools of the English language, and they write well, correctly and inter estingly, displaying the fact that their thoughts have been care fully considered and 'phrased with an eye to style and form. We are, Mr. Editor, merely three members of the largest freshman class, but we feel that we express the gratification of that body in finding the Daily Tar Heel in front of its doors six days per week. We only wish it were seven. - f TOM, DICK, and HARRY. To the Editor The Daily Tar Heel. , May I call to the attention of the University an incident which occurred in Durham last Satur day in connection with the Duke-V. M. I. game? At precisely the moment of jthe scheduled kick-off, a trum- peteer from the , band walked slowly to. the goal post. A hush fell over the stadium as he sounded taps taps in memory of that great spirit of American football Knute Rockne. ' Duke University has no direct connection with Notre Dame University. - Carolina has, as we TAR HEEL all know of Coach Collins's for mer position there. One can not help feeling, however, that Duke University was most suc cessful in starting its home sea son with a tribute to the man who has made football what it is today. Why could not have Carolina started her season with such an impressive ceremony? EARL W. WOLSLAGEL. BULLDOGS' COACH CALLED TO SIDE OF SICK FATHER Harry Mehre, head coach at the University of Georgia, re ceived word of the serious illness of his father Monday and left immediately for Indiana and his father's bedside. The team was left in charge of Rex Enright, backfield coach, who put the squad through the first of its three stiff workouts in prepara tion for the Yale game this week end. Enright is serving his first year at the Georgia institution, having formerly been employed as freshman coach at Carolina. He is a former Notre Dame full back and served on the 1925 squad after subbing for Elmer Layden on the famous Four Horsemen team of 1924. Loyalty Fund Drive Shows Good Results The Alumni Loyalty Fund campaign is reported by its di rectors as promising good re sults. The drive has been under way such a short time that it is difficult to determine the amount which will eventually be sub scribed. It is the hope of the alumni to be able to conclude its activities by November 11th. This would enable them to pre sent the donations to President Graham as an inspiration ' to him, as he formally enters upon his presidential duties. if 1 sy 555 A ill I'- tjJri v yw' or energetic skyscrapers Long before the huge bulk of a new sky scraper looms up, Bell System men have planned its nerve system the maze of tele phone cables and wires so vital to its busi ness activities.
