George R. Coff man, department head, yesterday to a Daily Tar Heel reporter. "It is my personal wish and a policy of the department," com mented Dr. Coff man, "to retain as instructor for these courses a man who is not only interested in teaching writing but who is engaged in writing himself. Stu dents are puzzled by not finding a course in short story writing listed in the catalog, but these courses, modeled after similar ones at Harvard and the Univer sity of Chicago,, provide ade quate instruction in this field and at the same time deal with other types of writing." Dr. Coffman announced that next year the advanced composi tion courses, English 52, 53, and 54, will be under the instruction of Phillips Russell, well-known biographer and writer. Accord ing to present plans, as stated by Russell, English 52, advanced composition, the technique , of ex position, will be offered in the spring quarter of 1933 instead of in the fall. English 53 will be given next fall, followed by English 54 in the winter session. "In the fall and winter," Rus COMMENCEMENT SATURDAY, JUNE 4 9:30 a. m.

TUESDAY, JUNE 7 -Meeting of board of trustees. 10:30 a.m.- FOR SENIORS sell stated, "ample consideration will be given to the short story and to the study of short story technique. Abundant practice in writing short stories will be pro vided, and although there will be no lack of analytical work, em phasis will be placed on syn thetic composition rather than analytic. "We will emphasize how to do it and not how not to do it," he continued. "In the spring, un der the title of the technique of exposition, special attention will be paid to the article, essay, and sketch, with a side glance at fic tion writing chiefly for sake of contrast." The classes will be limited in size, Russell said, so that special attention can be given each indi vidual. Consultations with the instructor will be encouraged, and special care will be taken to enable the individual to find the field of writing for which he is best fitted and to develop the talents most normal and natural to him. Aim of Course "The primary" aim of the course," Russell commented, "is to help each student improve himself in written expression, to use his imagination, and not to be afraid of those experiments that will give him most elasticity and freedom in writing. It is expected that all students inter (Continued on. page three) PROGRAM FOR 1932 New Honor System Proposal Will Be Discussed Tomorrow 'SNOW WHITE' TO BE PRESENTED BY CHILDREN TODAY Original Play by Sallie 31.

PLEDGE REQUIRED By New Proposals Students Will Be Required to Sign Pledge to Uphold Honor System. The student body of the Uni versity will finally take definite action on the recent proposal which has been discussed during the last two quarters to make the honor system more effective at a mass meeting tomorrow night at 8:00 in Memorial hall. Contrary to accounts which have been spread there is no change in the honor system but the proposal is an attempt to bet ter existing conditions. The proposal is for every student, upon entering the University, to sign a pledge to uphold the sys tem which deals with three of fenses lying, cheating, and stealing. Requirements of System According to the provisions of the system, a student is required to act honorably in all relations of student life and further that he shall investigate and report all violations which come to his attention. Any student who fails to report is himself guilty of a breach of honor. Violators are brought before the student council, which is a representative body selected by the members of the studnt body, and fair representation is given the accused. Since the discussion tomorrow vitally affects student life, Hay wood Weeks, president of the student council, has urged that every student attend the mass meeting and express his own view. Unlimited debate will be allowed and student opinion is expected to be fully expressed.
