Friday, October lr 1932 A Cheering Need With no home game scheduled for the football eleven until Oc - tober 22, the cheerleading staff has plenty of time to render to the team a service ; which has been needed for the last five years that of developing an or cranized . cheering section. Not since the graduation of Kay Kyser, organizer of the famous Carolina Cheerios, have the Tar Heels had the vocal backing in the stands that they deserved, and in many cases absolutely needed. - A plan has been followed re cently of seating all students into one section, not only to avoid the federal tax, but also in hopes of aiding cheering. But this plan has proven unsuccess ful. The only remedy is to or ganize a special volunteer cheer ing section.- The expense, of equipping "such a group' with megaphones, bright colored hats, etc., would be relatively small. And if the Athletic Association would be unwilling to carry the expense, probably the class and professional, school treasuries would be able to share the bur den. - Carolina's feeble attempts at cheering during the last few years has been a considerable joke to the other institutions in the state. Not only have- they taken it as a sign of a miserable lack of the traditional Carolina Spirit, but also as an evidence of aloofness on the part of Carolina students. It has given the im pression to many that since the University has come to number some 2500 or more, its students have ceased to take part in "col lege yells.", In many cases this ' aloof ness to "the collegiate" is to be de sired. But if the University must have the college football team, it should go the full ex tent and have the college yells. For without the latter, the for . mer is not at its best. Our Great Enigma With the rush and excitement ft it M oi tne preliminaries 01 a new school year over, and with a na tional election just ahead, the question of politics is receiving at least a passing notice from every patriotic minded student. The political issue on the campus revolves around two main questions and their an swers: Should I vote this year, and, if so, How should I vote? It is safe to say that a large majority of the students who vote the Republican ticket this fall will do so, not so much be cause of any belief that its plat form conforms more nearly to their ideals of what the country needs than that of either of its other opponents, but largely be cause that is the party which their fathers have always voted, The same thing might just as truthfully be said of those who will vote the Democratic ticket, For the liberal-minded man or Ill.l lllfll U1LUX 14. VXA w w v w w. mm and wishing to cast a vote that will never be regretted, a prob lem presents itself that is not to be lightly dealt with. There are many who can not summons forth the audacity to vote for Norman Thomas, and to such, the dilemma of whether to vote Democratic or Republican tick ets is forthcoming. It is a difficult proposition to distinguish between the funda mental principles contained m the two platforms, which poli ticians make to stand out in such bold relief. One of the parties is wet; the other is not dry. Both purport to have the interests of the people vitally at heart. One has formulated plans which it is positive will release x I the country from thefell clutch- es of economic depression; the other asserts that such plans are now in operation, and are fast restoring things to health and normalcy. Both parties employ the latest methods known to i calumy, indecency and animad- version for undermining each other. When it comes to a final showdown,- it seems that the- major differences between the two par ties' lie, not in their platforms, nor their applicability to the problems of modern government, but to the differences of person- alitv. abilitv. and experiences of their respective heads. W.A.S. A Noble , ' . Experiment The chapel situation in the University, especially regarding sophomores, bears a striking parallel to the prohibition ques- tion now being so urgently dis- cussed in this country. The par- allel lies in the fact that the powers" do not seem to under stand that, although they can pass a law disagreeaoie to tne majority, they cannot hope to enforce it. In the case of pro hibition we have actual nullifi cation. As regards chapel, we have an intellectual nullification. p'he University officials can force sophomores to come to chapel, but as they might, they can- not make men listen, who do not WJZA III. 1.1 1 II I 4 " - The unfortunate part about the whole affair is that it is almost impossible to study during chap- el tnere is a little too mucn noise coming irom the direction of the rostrum for complete con- centration on a difficult matter, However the period is not com- pletely lasted inasmuch as the noise is not. sufficiently loud to herst to Southern California by for long lost and well buried his interfere with a superficial peru- way of Duke and Tennessee in tory of other days.

After all, an op- portunity to rest one s weary bones, and at the same time to be THE DAILY serenaded with- "Hark thei Sound" and "Holy, Holy, Holy" is not to be sneezed at. For the benefit of these people it is sug gested that the University add to its curriculum a few courses in chapel sitting, for which credit might be given. If sufficient en thusiasm is shown, enough courses might even be added to permit one to major in this field. A question might arise as wheth er a "B. S." or an "A. B." should be received at the end of four years. Of course the question of a Ph. D. could be taken-, up later, but for the time being the two undergraduate degrees should suffice. These suggestions ought to fill the-bill fairly well, but what is there to do on Mon- day when there is no TAR- Heel, and when LiberUi has been al- ready read? M.K.K. Friendship and The Fraternity The close of this week marks the end of the fraternity rush ing period. Many will be the joyful and woeful faces when the bids are handed out from the fraternities. One of the most difficult prob lems that confronts the men who are rushed is which fraternity to pledge. Quite often it happens that the rushed one has a friend or relative m some particular fra- I 1 j 1 I l ternity wno insists tnat ne go "their way," while the man him- self might want to go "another wavv sk 01 which fraternity to choose often ii n . i , i n I causes in ieenng Deiween tne freshman, members of the jilt- ed fraternity, and everybody in general.

The greatest value perhaps next to the knowledge acquired during a four years' college term is -the friends that one makes, Therefore when choosing or re- fusing fraternities one should do so with the idea of friendship in " the background.

Thig fallj however all students wn0 are interested Jn either of the two major parties, as well as the Socialist party, will have an opportunity to display their en- thusiasm. The occasion will be the Political Parley, which has just been announced for October 28 and 29.

The choice for the third-speaker, a representa- tive of the Republican party, will be announced shortly. The prom inence of these men is in itself an assurance that the Parley will be attended not only by a large number of students, but also by i . - . - a great many Evanstonians.

Steinmetz of Psychology Department of GaHfornia School Declares That Social Starvation Is Worse Than Head- Over-Heels-in-Love (By College News Service) San Diego, Calif., Oct. 6. Mixed emotions rocked the stu dent body of San Diego State college this week as it tried to decide just how to take the chal lenge flung at non-daters by Pro fessor Harry C. Steinmetz of the psychology department. The challenge, which minced no words, appeared in the form ot an editorial m me Aziec, student weekly, and called upon members of both sexes, who are inclined to be timid about seek- Do You nhale? Do yoir have acidosis, halitosis, pediculosis, instructorosis, libra ryosis, moonbeamosis, or do you inhale? The advertising copy writers are on the loose again, and the latest is "homitosis." This violent micro-organism is a home-wrecker of no mean ac complishments, having been caught in the act of disturbing even the most blissful of em- bronic martial bliss if its ravag ing attacks on the homestead. Homitosis is supposed to be a new one lor the tamiiiariy known and odif erous bad tastes bund in the female of the spe cies, ii she cannot iurnisn a home on what you're making, either consult Dr. E. Cantor, or resign yourself to a fate worse han death homitosis. It seems hat poor taste in home furnish ings have made men live at their clubs, little children fly scream ing into nurse's arms and old men weep silently . and pitifully in their beards, and politicians stuff ballot boxes. Such a scrouge loosed against defenseless mankind has come! face to face with the advertise ments of the furniture purvey ors. There, should be a battle to the finish, and probably will be, with poor downtrodden hub by turning out to be the goat, in addition to having homitosis. sn't' it bad enough to be af flicted with this little known, but universally hated disease with out having to be skinned and cleaned just for a new " living room suite to replace the one that caused the terrible malady? Along the same line of thought we nave suitered acute attacks of registerosis and neurosis to say nothing of: ladderosis and timeosis in the past few days following registration.

"You know if thisN editorial hts you. If you haven t a date this week, forget your silly j pride; fold this paper so the title of this editorial ("Does This Fit You?") shows, and walk around with it; flap it about carelessly in class today and tomorrow ; in terpret it where you see it as a welcome to become acquainted." Earlier in the editorial, he de clared : "Worse than being head over heels in love in college is being indifferent or socially starved through lack of contact with the opposite sex. Insofar as biolog ical and eugenic ends are con cerned, the average fraternity and sorority, especially the rit ualistic sort, as a substitute for natural adjustment; is a subver sive and frustrating institu tion. "It is the college society of co educational function which pro motes social discrimination and that 'meeting for mating which is one of the most important con tributions of the democratic edu cational system.

Insofar as asting adjustment in life is con cerned, many of the other hne- ', fits of colleges may pitifully mock the sensitive individual. Our whole confounded system of values seems backwards some times; we elevate inconsequenti- alities to first importance, leav ing the important things of life to chance and tradition.
