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.

The best cooperation that

The larger the University and
the more varied 1 its interests,
the greater should be the part
: student government plays in
the lives of the students.
The present administration
joins whole-heartedly with The
Daily Tar Heel in encourag

:tend to awaken the interest and
stimulate the intelligent partici
pation of a greater number of
students in affairs of the cam-
pus. The student union is tne
most important branch of stu -

element in the success of the
system.

SUMMERALLSAYS
HE WILL RESIGN
AS CITADEL HEAD
Former Army Chief Claims He
Was Insulted by South Caro
lina Finance Committee.
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

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

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-

Fifty-two students -were ad

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

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

able and will operate their pub
lications for the whole group
and with fairness to all. 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."

cise indiscriminately anything in

not agree, than to wisely con
