Are These .
Our Children?
Tn recent years the under
graduate student body has been
so merged socially that little
' evidence of distinction between
classes now exists. Since the
state legislature took steps to
eradicate all discriminatory haz
ing, the -University has been
free from the innocuous fresh
man and the predatory sopho
more. Thus far it has been to
the advantage, of both freshmen
and upperclassmen. -
But after yesterday morning's
raw exhibitionalism in Memorial
hall where six hundred freshmen
resisted every attempt of a rep
resentative of the Young Repub
licans club " to express his views
and those of his candidate with
repeated hisses and boos punc
tuated by untimely, applause, we
are led to wonder whether the
lenient status accorded freshmen
is not a mistake. Apparently
the efforts of orientation week
have been to no avail.
Unquestionably, not one out
of fifty freshmen is aware of the
platforms and policies of either
"his" party or the opposition.
We venture to state that nine
out of ten collegians who are
voting this November 8 would
throw up their hands in mute
horror should the question be
put to them "Why are you vot
ing the Democratic ticket?"
-or the Republican or Social
ist ticket as the case might be.
How many are aware of their
' party's stand on the Garner
bill, the . Pitman bill, the War
debts, or the minute points of
the tariff? .Thousands of col
lege students of the voting age
will either fail to cast their bal
lot or will vote the hereditary
ticket. The freshman class,
which in four years will be vot
ing as newly ordained graduates,
has an excellent jump on their
.elders in the college ranks.

Darkened Windows
At Columbia' '
ii ii n n '
raranei to tne nue ana cry
raised over the Tatum petition
is the much more violent demon
stration occuring at Columbia
when. 1,000 students battled
police in protest to the dismissal
of an English professor because
of his alleged communistic sym
pathies. No such mass upris
ing is likely to occur at the Uni
versity of North Carolina or
any other southern school, but
an effective protest against such
attempts to curb free thought
will take place at .any time that
a group of fanatical conserva
tives propose to restrict the
growth of higher education by
condemning competent teachers
for their personal views.
Regardless of whether the
Columbia f aculty member taught
communistic principles, there
was no justification for his los
ing his position. . The average
college undergraduate is mature
enough -in his judgment to
choose what stand he will take
on economic questions, and the
alleged teachings of what are so
fondly termed, subversive prin
ciples will not, in most cases,
impel him to radicalism. At any
rate, the majority of college stu
dents are not as gullible as our
conservative brethren would
have us believe.
Regardless of their -ways of
thinking, there should be no such
asinine, objection ' to allowing
competent teachers to remain on
our university , faculties. Why
should education suffer for the
prejudices of a few? These few
in every instance are monoman
iacs who seem to think that our
universities are hot-beds of re
volution and that, the average
college student is. so puerile in
mind that he changes, opinions
acquired in years of environmen
tal influence because of contact
with a professor who, after all,
is human and has the same right
as any other man to express his
views. .
But there are some who still
do believe-that education should
suffer for these narrow-minded
reasons. Until they change to a
more tolerant outlook on univer
sity education, they will be in
continual conflict with its tradi
tional spirit-of liberalism and en
lightenment. A.T.D.
Merrily We
Go to H
It is almost a truism that
Carolina is one of the most "un
collegiate" colleges in this coun
try. Freshmen coming here for
the first time are surprised' and,
in many cases, disappointed at
the negligible amount of rah-rah
stuff that is found on this cam
pus. With a few exceptions this
University is completely remov
ed from what the average per
son's idea (taken from movies,
magazines, etc.) of a college is.
But, ah, we have kept this uni
quie distinction , too long we
are due for a change. It has
been rumored that, with the
formation of a Greater Univer
sity that the consolidation of the
three state-controled institutions
of higher learning, a large num
ber of girls, now going to N. C.
C. W., will be enrolled here.
Imagine, thehavoc and chaos
that a thousand or so more or
less attractive co-eds will cause
on this , campus. Visualize, if
you can, the effect that all :this
pulchritude will have on Caro
lina's sex-starved, erotic-minded
young manhood. Recruits by the
dozens will flock to the ranks of
the brown- coat grey pants
boys. Racoon coats (thank God
for this moderate climate) and
Harold Teen Fords will miracul
ously make their .appearance. No
longer will , the staffs at theJ
dances be outnumbered, though
they will be even more outworn.
Down with a crash will come the
last remnants of our honor sys
tem, for "what is there of honor
in a woman?" Tailor shops will
spring up as if by, niagic, and
men who used to wear a shirt
'till, regardless of previous color,
would assume the hue of freshly
dug potato will now send seven
a week to the laundry. Banners
will be waved at football games
and the star halfback will be the
idol of the campus green-eyed
idol as far as the boys are con
cerned. In short, Carolina will
go hot-cha, rah-rah, or whatever
you will. But, Jest this black
picture disturb anyone unduly,
remember i is but rumored.
SPEAKING
the
CAMPUS MIND
Educating
The Freshmen
When the freshman class resorts to
such barbaric practices as were re
sorted to in assembly Tuesday morn
ing, it is time for the upperclassmen
to rise up and offer enlightenment,
which our frosh should have, and no
doubt did receive at home from their
good parents. The most barbaric and
ungentlemanly conduct that I have
ever witnessed was displayed in the
assembly by no small portion of the
freshmen present. No doubt, every
student at the University has been
taught at home to have respect for
the speaker at any meeting. But the
freshmen need to be reminded of the
respect tiiat should be shown a speak
er Jby University gentlemen.

It is indeed amazing to note
the meager information avail
able in our libraries concerning
the growth of chess. A game of
pure skill that dates its origin
3,000 years before the birth of
Christ (according to some his
torians), chess has been the
theme of thousands of skilled
analysts and clever writers.
Several private libraries in the
United- States possess from 2,
000 to 3,000 different tomes on
the art of chess. '
The J. G. White chess collec
tion, bequeathed to the Cleve
land Public Library, embraces
12,000 invaluable volumes on
chess and checkers. It is the
largest chess library in the
world.

Several persons other than the
freshmen went to chapel Tuesday to
hear John Wilkinson give the Repub
lican side of the pre-election clash.
Not only were these visitors prevent
ed from hearing Mr. Wilkinson, who
is, by the way, an excellent speaker
and should be respected for that
alone; but also Mr. Wilkinson was hin
dered in his talk by untimely applause
and by the hissing and booing of the.
freshmen. No one should be so dog
matic that he refuse to hear views
other than his own. Much less should
one attempt to prevent others from
hearing just because of one s own dog
matic views. ,
TWeast that the freshmen should
do is to feign attention, if not inter
ested, by being quiet. Moreover, no
view is absolutely set, and they might
be enlightened by, turning an attentive
ear to opposite .views and assay them
in forming their own dogmas.
May the freshmen remember the
ethics of culture, and refinement that
their mothers taught them and con
tinue to use them in times -and places
when and where one. is supposed to be
a gentleman, lest there be future re
currence of the acts that shamed vis
itors to assembly Tuesday.

In The Main
By Mayne Albright
Last week a stranger from
the north who was looking for
a friend rooming in Everett
dormitory stopped a student in
the quadrangle and asked:
Where is Everett hall?" But
the student only laughed and
said. "Why. I don't know him.
I'm a freshman here myself."
Haywood Weeks, as chairman
of the Student Auditing Board,
was arguing with Mac Fleming-
Jones, former president of the
Publications Union, about the
advisability of that organization
coming under the new auditing
system. Mac sided with Mr.
Lear, chief proponent of the P.
U. Board's independent audit,
and used many of Mr. Lear's ar
guments. Finally President
Weeks thought he had won him
over, but Mac shook his head
and said : "I guess I am getting
Leary about the whole thing."
