Wednesday, November 23, 1932 The Federation To the Fore Though only in its third year of operation, the North Caro lina Student Federation has made its influence strongly felt in the educational institutions of the state. In a meeting here Saturday morning with the president of the University stu dent body, who heads the Fed eration in a similar capacity, the executive committee of ,the or ganization laid plans for a vig orous program to increase the scope and influence of the body through the next year. Paramount among the obliga tions of the Federation is the unification of state student gov ernment, with an eye toward the exchange of views and systems so as to perfect a better system as a state-wide project. The only active body of its kind in America, the Federation is rap idly working toward this ideal with general annual congresses and frequent executive meetings at this and other institutions. In Saturday's meeting, plans were set forth for the further ance of student government and the honor system in North Caro lina high schools, a project which has met but lukewarm re ception jn this and other states. Through a process of education in a journal published by the Federation and by frequent dep utation trips by members of the organization to state high schools, an attempt will be made to acquaint potential college freshmen with the ideals of stu dent government and campus honor systems. Here, the Fed eration feels, its work can be most effective. This is a comparatively minor point in the extensive program of the Federation, yet under ex isting circumstances, it is one of great importance. Educators are agreed that orientation to college life must begin in the high school upper classes. This contact ane establishes the Federation as a worthy institu tion in state government. D.C. S. Our Children? ' Now that the 'accuracy- and value of the Literary Digest's presidential polls have been con clusively demonstrated, it may be of interest to analyze one of the minor straw votes which, on the face of things, did not har monize with the actual election results. The most prominent of these was the survey conducted among college students by the Daily Princetonian. Although this poll did not cover every state in the Union, it obtained replies from a fairly representative group of students in different sections of the country. Its chief fault lay in the fact that a preponderance of New England colleges was polled, thus giving President Hoover a much stronger show ing than he actually deserved. The total vote of 57,097 was di vided as follows : Hoover 28,180 ; Roosevelt 17,712; Thomas 10, 490 ; Foster 715. Had the sur vey been so conducted that a de finite percentage of the students in each geographical section could have been heard from, the vote still would have exhibited unmistakable Hoover sentiment. In the face of the overwhelm ing victory of Roosevelt, how can this wide discrepancy be ex plained? The solution to the problem may be found in the economic sphere. The Republican party many times accused of being the political organ of "Big Busi ness." In support of this con tention statistics as to the wealth of Republican office-holders, Republican campaign chests, the membership of the . Repub lican party, etc., can be gather ed to, show that the preponder ance of the wealth of the coun try is in Republican hands. Turning to the colleges again, we come upon one of the pri mary problems of our educa tional system; namely, the semi- prohibitive costs attached to ac quiring a university education. It is quite evident on the face of it that it would be impossible for everyone who has the ability and the desire to go to college to satisfy his or her ambition in this direction. The college stu dent is, therefore, an economic ally selected individual; he comes from the upper economic stratae; in short, he is a Re publican in tradition and social experience. The huge student vote for Norman Thomas may seem to be at least a partial contradiction to the foregoing conclusions, but it need not be so if we analyze all the factors involved. The great majority of American col lege students as is so strik ingly shown by the Daily Prince tonian poll merely follow along the pathways of their elders. But there seems to be a grow ing minority in the colleges and universities of the country which has broken with tradition ana, seeing no salvation m.tne Democratic party, has turned to the Socialist political philoso phy. Although this condition is reversed in the south where in this case the student sees no hope in the Republicans there does exist a flourishing senti ment for the party of Norman Thomas. The question of how far this sentiment will progress, the possibility of an old-party rejuvenation, or even the remote chance of a Fascist student movement all contribute to the vitally interesting question; what kind of citizens are col leges turning out? V.J.L. Professional Culture In providing the students of North Carolina with good music, the Student Entertainment Com mittee is doing the University a signal service. Men receive with open arms any such chance for a broadening culture. But in ad dition to this type of entertain ment, it has been suggested that students be allowed to see dra ma of an expert sort, as would be furnished by a group of pro fessional players. This idea has been broached before, but appar ently not emphatically enough to be brought to the attention of a large number. In addition to giving members of the Playmakers a chance to watch experienced actors, actors of a professional sort at Chapel Hill would be able to produce famous and ambitious plays which wTould be beyond amateur scope, but which would be of interest to nearly all members of the student body. It would seem that the organization best able to handle such a proposition would be the Student Entertain ment Committee. Such a pro posal does not involve a large expenditure. With the Entertain ment Committee thus furnish ing the students and faculty with symphonies and dramatic art, the University could not be accused, as some colleges might be, of advancing the intellectual side at the expense of the aes thetic. With professional act ing at Chapel Hill, our already broad cultural horizon would be widened further. B.B.P. Shadow of The Nazi The mandate issued by Presi dent Hindenburg of the German republic to Adolph Hitler, lead er of the opposition, that the latter form a cabinet, brings an other crisis in the nine-year fight between the two factions for political supremacy. Since the recent election, when the former war commander defeated his more radical opponent, the Nazi leader has been consistently gathering power until he again seriously threatens the exist ence of the Hindenburg machine. The aged president has held the upper hand in German poli tics since the war, and it is upon the result of this crisis that his future depends. Few men have held a nation in their grasp so long during such a period of tur moil. The economic and social upheaval which enveloped Ger many following the war has not yet subsided, and the more con servative policies of the govern ment have accomplished what good they could. The recent sudden growth of Hitler's power may be taken as a good sign that the German people are seek ing a change. Four years ago such a con cession by Hindenburg would have been unthinkable, and Hit ler, realizing that only the ex igences of weakening power could have brought such a move, today refuses to accept the man date under the restrictions of fered by the government leader. Whether he "fears the Greek's though bearing gifts," or wheth er he feels that by patience he may gain the last stronghold, he declined and emphatically de clared "that his party could co operate only in a government led by himself." The . conservatives have had their chance to revive Germany and have fallen short of the goal. Hitler has shown himself to be an embryonic Mussolini, a man of undeniable capabilities. A strong dictator, wielding his power wisely, could mfuse new strength into Germany. Dic tatorship is by far the most eco nomic and unified form of gov ernment, and consequently best adapted to meeting critical peri ods. The present period is most certainly a critical one, and one which would call upon all the resources of any form of govern ment. The world awaits with interest the German people's de cision. V.C.R. Instead of writing any more reprimands to Japan, the League of Nations could save a lot of time by just putting on a phono graph record San Diego Union. SPEAKING the CAMPUS MIND One Vote for Dr. Baity The selection of a vice-president to succeed President Gra ham as head of the Chapel Hill branch of the Greater Univer sity of North Carolina is of the utmost importnace. The man who is honored by the appointment to this post should be a liberal - minded, strong character, capable of con tinuing the policies of fostering freedom of conduct, speech, and thought that have been carried on by Dr. Graham and his pre decessors. There are many men serving the University on this campus who would meet each of these requirements to a great extent, but in my opinion and the opin ion of many of my fellow stu dents, Dean H. G. Baity is more capable of filling President Gra ham's shoes than any other man eligible for the post. While serving as a professor in the engineering school he was seriously considered by the trus tees as a candidate for the presi dency when Graham was select ed. Upon the death of Dean Braune, he was made acting dean. His appointment as dean a short time later was unani mous and was hailed with joy by the engineers. His administrative ability is (Continued on last page) Editorials printed in this column are selected weekly by the editorial board on the basis of pertinency and style from the exchange list of college and national dailies and weeklies. Miss Jekyll And Mrs. Hyde "Women are angels," cried a world, steeped in its idealistic concept of a creature, "pure, sincere and fragile, impractical, but to be considered with utmost awre." Then came Kipling with his "rag, a bone, a hank of hair," Schopenhauer's short, narrow shouldered, broad-hipped, short legged monstrosity; Nietzsche's "women for the diversion of the warrior," and Chesterfield's view of women as children. Men early realized the inac curacy of both the old and the new concepts, and changing con ditions brought the -same reali zation of the women them selves. While they lived the role of complementary but rather useless organisms, insulated from careers of business, they were able to maintain the angel ic aura. But the briskness and intimacy of their contact with the world today has revealed that women have dimensions, feelings and capacities like other human individuals. As a result, many women try to live up to both concepts at once. Theyvemploy a dual per sonality, shifting disconcert ingly from the soft-voiced Vic torian to the hard-lipped, calcu lating modern. A Minnesota professor tells the story of a girl who wept in his class while read ing a romantic selection. "Oh !" she cried, "They gave up every thing for love!" The professor tested her: "Would you go to the Common Peepul's ball with a boy you liked very much, or to the Junior prom with a mere acquaintance?" The tears stop ped, the eyes hardened, "That's different! Of course I'd go to the prom!" The world of men might face with equanimity a return to the old and simple idealistic concept of women. But perhaps the wo man's new hardness is deeper than a veneer. Minnesota With Contemporaries Daily. W&z "The Game of By CAROLINA SOCIAL CHESS CLUB ROUTS RALEIGH CHESS CLUB, 7-3 Maxwell Wins Three Rounds OBOY! WHAT A MATCH. Not three on a match, but four. Not Kreuger but Chess. Saturday evening at seven-fifty the Carolina Chess team engag ed in a twelve-round tourney with the Raleigh team of four, in the Graham Memorial Chess room. At eleven-thirty (P. M.) ' the Carolina Chessners had scored seven wins out of a possible twelve, and the Raleigh Chess- Nuts, having garnered only three victories of the precious dozen, courteously declined to prolong the match for the re maining two games. Albert Barden, acting captain of the Chess-Nuts, announced that the seven wins gave the Carolina Chessners a decisive tournament victory irrespective of how the scoring of the unplayed games might be. The successful routing of the Raleigh Chess-Nuts by the Caro lina Chessners is a wonderful beginning for the newly organ ized Carolina Social Chess Club, scarcely two months in opera tion. The team scores were as fol lows : Barden (R) 0, Godbold (C) 1; Barden (R) 1, Tillery (C) 0; Adickes (R) 1, Cartland (C) 0; Adickes (R) 0, Cartland (C) 1; Price (R) 0, Wilson (C) 1; Price (R) 0, Godbold (C) 1; Price (R) 1, Godbold (C) 0; Gaitling (R) 0, Maxwell (C) 3.

ICA LOOKING 'EM OVER Albert Barden got away to a fast start with White P-K4 but Reverend Albea Godbold blocked the kick with Black P-K4, and the White King finding himself poorly supported after the 25th play resigned. With revenge in his heart and red in his eye, Barden grappled with George L. Tillery, coming barrister and fu ture LL. B. cum laude, and cata pulated the Queen's Pawn across no-man's land. Tillery went into a brainstorm, lost his head, his knight, and his game. In a private interview with the re porter of The Daily Tar Heel, hours later, Lawyer Tillery at tributed his defeat to the in feriority complex that he has been laboring under for the past five years.

Professor Price has been playing Chess exactly two years. In a twosome with Reverend Godbold, pastor of the University Methodist church and Chess general par excellence, the Major scored one victory. He insisted that he be given full credit. All right, Major, here's to you and bring over your North Carolina State College team any time. ICA When Chessner E. D. Cart land forced Thomas W. Adickes, Chess-Nut, into an end-game that boded ill for the veteran Raleigh player, the latter de clared that a mistake had been made. Upon inquiry it was found that the mistake was not at Chess.
