CHAPEL HILL, N. C WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1931
DAILY TAR HEEL ASKS STUDENT
GROUPS TO BACK PEACE PLANS
The Daily Tar Heel, in the belief that continued warfare
century after century bringing artificial prosperity and ex
traordinary depressions settles few issues permanently, and
vitiates a considerable portion of the culture-and civilization
which accrues in periods of peace, strongly urges every Uni
versity of North Carolina student organization, large and
small, to wire President Hoover as suggested by Director
Philip C. Nash of the League of Nations Association urging
.him to steadfastly insist upon the enforcement of the Kellogg
Peace Pact.- . T
Called meetings ior.this business this afternoon or tonight
are necessary, if any action whatsoever is to be taken. Presi
dent Graham, The Daily Tar Heel,- and a large number of
the faculty men have already endorsed the action. Organiza
tions participating in the movement are asked to file informa
tion to that effect with the managing-editor. V
Editorial Policy Of Columbia -
Paper Leads Collegiate Field
Nineteen Dailies Called Class "A" Newssheets in Survey
ducted by Carolina Journal While a Like Numtter
; ; Are Classified With "B" Rating.
- o ' .; ' :."
Nineteen college dailies rang
ing from Montreal to Texas and
from New Jersey to California
have been selected by the Daily.
Tar Heel as class "A" papers in
a survey of , the collegiate daily
publishing field. Nineteen pa
pers were given a rating of "B,"
and among them were a number
whose quality missed the "A"
rating by a slim margin.
The survey was conducted
with such points as make-up,,
style, news value, editorial . pol
icy original feature matter, and
mechanics in mind, the rating of
each of the thirty-eight was ad
judged on a percentage basis.
All bttt two of the nineteen
selected are on the exchange
list-of the Daily Tar Heel.
Class "A" Papers , -
Class. "A" papers are : Daily
Dartmouth, Yale Daitff" News,
Harvard Crimson, Columbia
Spectator, bornell Daily Sun,
Daily Texan, Oklahoma Daily,
Indiana Daily Student, Michi
gan 'Daily, Daily Northwestern,
Daily Nebraskan, McGill Daily,
Princetonian, Daily Cardinal,
Daily lowan, . Daily Kansan,
Daily Illini, Stanford Daily, and
Minnesota Daily .
Those accorded class "B" rat
ing are : Brown Daily Herald,
New York University News,
Syracuse Daily Orange, Penn
sylvanian, Ohio State Lantern,
O' Collegian, Butler Collegian,
Purdue Exponent, Daily Maroon.-
Daily Missourian, Oregon
State Barometer, Oregon Emer
ald, 1 Washington Daily, Daily
Trojan, Daily Bruin, Daily La
riat, Daily Calif ornian, Toronto
Varsity, and Radcliffe Daily.
In fineness of style, meticul
ous make-up, aggressive edi
torial policy, and ingenuity in
the matter of reviews and col
umns, the Columbia Spectator
leads the field. Its fearless edi
torial policy is shared by that of
the Michigan Daily and the
Daily Maroon (Chicago) whose
stands have brought commenda
tion from Jbrethren in the collegi
ate publishing field. Thechan
cellor of the University of Mich
igan this fall cancelled faculty
subscriptions when the Daily
attacked the American Legion
and the needless change in text
books by the faculty.
Other stands taken by editors
of collegiate dailies have re
sulted in t their expulsion from
their universities or temporary
removal from the staff. Notable
among these has been the case of
Louis F. Ridenour, editor of
the Daily Maroon, whose resig
nation was demanded by .faculty
members after he was said to
have bewailed the Chicago foot-'
ball season under the regime of
Alonzo Stagg. . Ridenour's name
Con-
still appears in the mast-head of
thepublication,1 however.
Othet cases include the forced
resignation of the editor of the
DePauw university paper after
he had attacked the dean of wo
men in his columns; and the
stand of the Spectator, on the
amateur status of a football
player, resulting in demands for
expulsion.
Sectionally, the eastern papers
passes tne most poiisnea style
and finish in make-up and con
tent. The Princetonian leads the
field in interviews, closely
matched by the other publica
tions of the Big Three. The
Minnesota Daily and the Wis
consin Daily Cardinal are out
standing 'also in the matter of
features, though the majority of
all publications show a deplor
able lack . of intelligent discus
sion of controversial subjects.
Editorial coment of the papers
of the Big Three and Dart
mouth apparently" center about
trivialities which concern , the
institutions and which present
openings which the group for
gently tossed , bouquets of com
ment on football, tradition, and
crew racing. Journalistic so
phistication seems also at 'its
height in the eastern ( clique.
Professional Angle
Those dailies' which empha
size the professional angle, en
hanced by news services and col
umns on subjects of world im
port, consist mainly of a group
of five : Daily Texan, Indiana
Daily Student, Cornell Daily
Sun, Daily lowan and the Daily
Illini. The majority of these
m o 'mm t
journals serve small cities m
which their respective institu
tions are located and several of
them occasionally have from ten
to forty-eight ! page editions.
The Daily Kansan seems to be
the , most-clipped sheet, editor
ially speaking, while the Prince
tonian has the most carefully
balanced make-up.t The Daily
Northwestern was selected as
having the best sport page,
while the west coast was the
section of the country that
places greatest emphasis upon
sport pages, though frequently
the front pag6 of the eastern
papers are replete with sport
news. . '
Editorial comment in some of
the middle-western papers
shows indication of too much
faculty supervision, and subject
matter is drawn from issues
which swing away from the lo
cal cbntroverslal angle. ;;In fact,
editorial comment of the col
legiate press as a whole seems
to be merely impressionistic,
with more adherence to? emotion
than, research, though the hand
linr ol 'subject is done in a sur
prisingly . mature manner.

Minister and Dean Bradshaw
Speak to Freshmen at As
sembly Yesterday.
Reverend C. E. Rozzelle, who
has been transferred to Lenoir,
irom tne jvietnoaist cnurcn in
Chapel Hill, gave a short vale
dictory talk at assembly yester
day. He predicted that, "the
highly' emotional and spiritual
principles of President" Frank
Graham" would make possible
great progress for the Univer
sity in years tocome. He closed
his talk with a quotation from
the Scripture: "Ask and it shall
be given you; seek and' ye shall
find." , . ,
Bradshaw on Holidays
Dean Bradshaw spoke ; about
the Thanksgiving holidays. He
stated that a holiday should be
more than cessation from acti
vity; it should afford an oppor
tunity for students especially
to stand back and review the
past ten weeks of work. "The
University believes in holidays,"
he said, "contrary to most stu
dents' conception of it as a
bundle of rules and regula
tions." '
"Each one of us must live his
own life," he declared. "A life
that is directed by impulse does
not have the best guidance. Al
though a life governed by habit
enables us to build up a system
of methodical routine, the life
that is Ibest directed is directed
by thought." Dean Bradshaw
urged the students in this way
to take inventory of what col
lege has thus far done far
them. - ' '

tion of the .season will be given

' Of Request Made by Asso
ciation Secretary.
President Frank Porter Gra
ham received a telegram Satur
day from the director- of the
League of Nations Association
in New York, Philip C. Nash,
requesting him to urge Presi- ,
dent Hoover to have the United
States co-operate closely with
the League in its policy toward
the current Siho-Japahese con-,
flict and to uphold the Kellogg
Briand peace pact. President
GrahanjL wired yesterday" . to
President Hoover his endorse

outlawing wTar. He was joined
in this action by a representa
tive group of faculty members
and townsfolk of Chapel Hill.
Declaration Wanted
This' action upon the part of
the League of Nations Associa
tion was motivated by a desire
to bring about a definite decla
ration of this nation's policy in
the Manchurian crisis. Nash's
telegram read in part: "Please
get as many letters and tele
grams to. President Hoover im-,
mediately, urging firm, stand
and cooperation with the League
of Nations to uphold the Kel
logg. Pact." : f
President Graham's message
to President Hoover stated:
"We strongly urge that Ameri
ca take firm stand in coopera
tion with the League of Nations
to uphold Kellogg Pact." - The
telegrams sent by various citi
zens of Chapel Hill and repre
sentatives of the University
were in a similar vein.
MAXWELL BACKS

Candidate for, Governor Address
es North Carolina Club
On Finances.
The honorable A. J. Maxwell
addressed the North Carolina,
club about state and govern
mental finances Monday evening
in Bingham hall He was in
troduced by Professor S. H.
Hobbs as the best posted man in
North Carolina on governmental
finances.
The speaker "spoke of the ex
tent to which this tate has
used credit and stated that it
was a "marvel that it " had
lasted." The foresight of for
mer Governor A. W. MacLean,
according to the speaker, who
is a democratic candidate for
governor, is , the main , factor
that has stabilized the credit of
North Carolina to even the pres
ent extent. Governor MacLean
introduced a bill in the legisla
ture forcing local governments
to reduce regularly existing
debts and to limit the extent to
which they could contract new
- - L"' : ' '
ones. . . -, ; "' . ..
He declared himself as an op
ponent of either a sales or lux
ury tax, for the expense of this
tax would devolve upon' those
now oppressed by burdensome
taxes. . If the 'government were
to' levy a tigtier income'.tax, tie
income taxpayers would invest
in non-taxable local government
bonds.
