WEATHER FORECAST: RISING TEMPERATURE AND RAIN TODAY DR. GROVES ADDRESS 10:30 A.M. TODAY MEMORIAL HALL VOLUME XL CHAPEL HILL, N. C THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1932 NUMBER 103 7fix rot 11 iii i JOHN REED CLUB BACKS TALKS BY IMARCUSGRAMI Tonight and Tomorrow Night Are Lecture Dates as Speak-" er Arrives Late. The lectures by Marcus Gra ham, to be sponsored this week by the John Reed club, have been rearranged due to the late arrival of Graham v in Chapel Hill. The meetings will -be as follows: Mooney and Billings lecture this evening at 8:00 o'clock in room 210 Graham Memorial, and "Freedom and Art" tomorrow evening. Graham, the editor of An Anthology of Revolutionary Poetry, is making a trans-continental tour in behalf of Tom Mooney and Warren Billings who are imprisoned in Califor nia under what many call dub ious circumstances. At present the world is in the throes of depression and chaos, Graham believes. He begs that no one glibly assume that it will easily emerge from such a sit uation, insisting that nothing but long drawn out wars are ahead of humanity. Economic inequality and lack of opportunities are the true causes that keep man from at taining millenium, according to Graham's doctrine. Govern ment, he claims, is another curse upon humanity. When man learns to discard these hin drances to his well being, he will find toil a pleasure; leisure far more interesting; a life,' a joy, minus the machine and minus customs and rules.

Angered at a question , by a member of the South Carolina state senate finance committee, General Charles P. Summerall, president of the Citadelr at Charleston, told the committee yesterday he would resign, in six hours. N . The incident occurred at a hearing of the -committee at which Summerall had appeared to discuss appropriations for the Citadel. The question was in regard to a deficit of almost $19,000 incurred at the institu tion during the past year. "By what authority do you increase the deficit, what is the good of 'the legislature fixing a definite appropriation, if a de partment may spend more than is appropriated?" his interro gator asked. The general immediately arose to his feet and informed resignation within six hours. All attempts of the committee to placate hini failed. Members of the finance com mittee said they did not think Senator Hamrick's question had been insulting in any way. General Summerall spoke here at the' Human Relations Instit ute last May 5. He resigned as chief -of-staff of . the -United States army in 1926 to accept the presidency of the Citadel.

Daily Tar Heel Leads Activities In Movement To Represent Voter . o FoHowing Policy of Inquiry Begun Last September, Daily Calls Upon Student Body for Expression as to Its Wishes - In the Management of the Paper. ' . : 6 As set forth in the lead edi torial on page. two of this issue, The Daily Tar Heel herewith calls upon the student body for an expression as. to its wishes in the management of the col lege daily. The student coun cil simultaneously joins this move to place studerft govern ment and all activities back in the control of the source from which they have come. The editor and managing board of the campus paper has set as its ideal the right of the editor and the board to operate The Daily Tar Heel upon the most expeditious and fair plan as they can. Just as any foot ball team and coach, cannot be interf erred with unnecessarily, by every crank who considers himself a coach, if success is to crown such a venture, a campus newspaper has to have some latitude within which (so long as it does not violate the prin cipal desires of the student body and renders efficient service) it may operate with freedom. However, The Daily has for some time felt more and more the necessity for knowing what reaction the student body has to its policies, and began in ad- anced paper, the real wishes of vance of this new move on the the entire group, and what the part of the student council and student body's opinion upon var the paper a series of inquiries ious questions would most likely among students as early as last September. The'student body should elect to the editorships of the cam pus publications men who promise by theif diligence and demonstrated ability in advance of their presenting themselves for election that they are cap- OVER SIXTY ARE CANDIDATES FflR MASTER'S DEGRE E Thirteen More Admitted to Can didacy This Year Than Last Winter Quarter. Fifty-two students -were ad mitted to candidacy for the mas ter of arts degree and eleven for. the master of science at a recent meeting of the Adminis trative Board of the graduate school. The. total number of candi dates admitted this quarter ex ceeded last winter' quarter's by seven in the master of arts and six in the scientific field. Ad mission to candidacy does not carry with it any .specification as to when the candidates will be prepared for their degrees. This is determined by, departmental regulations and the require ments of the graduate school. Recipients of the master's de gree for this year will be an nounced late in the spring quar ter. English leads the field in the master of arts with fourteen ap- plicants : William James Chand- ler, Vernon Baldwin. Crook, Monroe Johnson Hagood, Waldo . Forest McBeir, Lonnie Daniel Munn, Frances Roberts, John Walter Scott, Kathryn Kent Smith, Marion Bruce Thomas, Dorothy May Unangst, Dean A.

The student body then should co operate whole-heartedly and solidly with such elected editors toward making the publications of tKe. University of North Carolina the best in the colleg iate field, the most representa tive of the student body, and the most impartial and non-partisan. In this plan legitimate, fair-minded, and reasonable c'riticism and suggestion should play their part. Individual stu dents should not seek to bend editors by threats and sarcasm to their own ways, because that is unfair to the rest of the twenty-six" hundred students who also pay for The Daily Tar Heel. On the other hand, any editor who can be intimi dated by unreasonable minori ties, which he knows to be un reasonable minorties, is unde serving of the office bestowed upon him by the student body and should resign as not pro tecting the interests of the whole group.' Always before his view must be 'a picture of a , well bal- be. His is a thankless job." Everyone is more prone to criti cise indiscriminately anything in a college paper, which he does not agree, than to wisely con sider whether an editor is sin cerely trying to raise standards, acquire a' journalistic reputa (Continued on last page)
