O, TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 1933 NUMBER 147 pH MILLER SETS EDUCATION ABOVE PUBUCSERVICES journalist Says North Carolina Does Not Spend All Entrust ed Funds Wisely. Dr. Julian S. Miller, associate aY(v and columnist for the Charlotte Observer y yesterday delivered his twice postponed as sembly talk. He was introduced bv President Graham. Dr. Miller emphasized the fact that everyone has all the means of success at his disposal, but he lacks a driver for these means. "My generation has failed and has proven itself prostitute. We are now ready to turn the reins over to the new generation. You must face the task of rebuilding and pick ing up fragments from the so cial structure and economic body." In that manner Dr. Mil ler bade the freshmen to pre pare themselves for the great task that is before them. Defends Education In continuing, Dr. Miller said "We face the task of bringing about a violent revision in gov ernment and citizenship. De mocracy in this state Kas not functioned for the greatest good ';.-;f the erreatest number. North Carolina has not spent wisely all of the money the public has entrusted to it.

For Fairness And Accuracy AN EDITORIAL To the Students : With this issue of the Daily Tar Heel the new administra tion takes over the reins of the student publication for the com- ing year, some cnanges in tne general policy of the paper are necessary if it is to be made truly reflective of student senti ment, but these changes must come slowly and only after the wisdom of new policies has been demonstrated. The new editor feels strongly that to be a good editor, he must be: Fair, Accurate, and On the Job. If he can live up to these three requirements, the Tar Heel will show a vast improve ment from the start in regard to both editorial writing and general news reporting. As a first step towards attain ing Fairness the new adminis tration announces a system of competition for the various ex ecutive positions on the staff. In the past these positions have been nanded out carelessly for one of two purposes; either for the nourishment of some favor ed reporter who has been picked by the administration for better things, or for the consolation of some member of the staff who has been gently placed upon the shelf, so to speak. Starting with this issue, and for the next three weeks, there will be no executive positions on the staff. At the annual ban quet Thursday night, two nom inations will be made for chair man of each of the irious - GroUD Pictures Of StailS lODei dKen Jn Qrder to fiU Qut itg page of Yack request3 that the editors Riy as the editor of the Carolina Engineer inform the members nf fi.p:r Rfaffs that e-rnnn ra tures will be tomorrow ffprTlftnT1 hPo-inTnW nt. 9 1-20 0ciock.

And lastly George Gorham and the Carolina Engineer staff will have their picture ave eir picture taxen. in Applications for Handbook The "Y" office announced ves- terday that all applications for the editorship of the freshman handbook are due Wednesday night. The applications must be made in writing and given to either John Acee or Bill McKee. A list of the applicant's literary experience should be included in the application. House Makes Announcement On Holidays Misinterpretation of Presi dent Frank Graham's holiday announcement on March 25 caused the issuance of a state ment yesterday by R. B. House, executive secretary of the University, to the effect that official holidays for the University do not begin until noon Saturday and that all Saturday classes prior to that time must take place on reg ular schedule. Classes will be resumed after the holiday at 8 :30 o'clock, Monday morn ing, April 24. boards. After the holidays, and for three weeks, these men will work for their respective posi tions. At the end of the period of competition, the staff will meet again, and the chairmen of the boards will be elected. Every staff member will have a vote. Fairness must also be attain ed in regard to editorial com ment. In that connection, the administration is working now on a plan whereby students rep resenting different group opin ions on the campus may . com pete for permanent positions on the editorial board. A board made up of representative stu dents would assure a fair pre sentation of both sides of any student issue. When controversies arise, communications will not be ex cluded from "Speaking the Campus Mind" simply because they are in disagreement with the editor. Being Accurate and On the Job, the other two qualifications of a good editor, go hand in hand. A sincere effort will be made every day to get the news correctly and see that it is handled promptly. A co-opera tive staff, with all members well acquainted with one another and interested in the betterment of the paper, will be organized on the basis of the above axioms. Any individual not wishing to co-operate to the fullest degree will be dismissed. What is want ed is a closely knit unit, and we intend to have it.- , Tar Heel Banquet Set For Thursday The annual Daily Tar Heel banquet has been scheduled for 6:30 o'clock Thursday evening. At the meeting of the staff Sun day, a committee composed of Carl Thompson, E. C. Daniel, Bob Woerner, V. C. Royster, and Joe Sugarman was appoint ed to make arrangements for the entertainments. Every member of the repor- torial and business staffs will be assessed seventy-five cents for attendance at the banquet l nose planning to oe pres ent will pay this amount to ei ther Carl Thompson or Tom Walker. Batiks to Be Displayed An exhibit of Javanese batiks imported by Bradford Bissel of the geology department, will be displayed at the Bull's Head bookshop tomorrow afternoon. The batiks are long strips of cloth, dyed with wax in subdued colors by the native process and worn by the natives of Java. Bissel became interested in na tive batiks while in Java on a geological survey and has been making a collection of them. House's statement came as a result of the rearrangement of schedules by several in structors for the convenience of home-going students. He also stated that no 12:00 o'clock or afternoon classes will be in order. Spring holidays were ori ginally planned to begin Sat urday, March 11, but were postponed by President Gra ham in view of the complica tions which threatened to arise from the national and state-wide banking holiday.
