C.G.T, An Official ; Explanation Editor, the Daily Tar Heel: May I have the privilege of Reward . ; -Justly Deserved Last night in Phillips hall several of the stu dents in the school of engineering received the greatest honor which may come to one of them during his undergraduate career in being tapped for membership in Tau Beta Pi, the honorary engineering fraternity. To an engineer, this honor represents much more than Phi Beta Kappa does to the student in the school of liberal arts. ; The engineering student is at a disadvantage as far as securing the grades necessary for membership in Phi Beta Kappa is concerned, for he must take an average of four courses per quarter, as com pared . with the three in other schools on the campus. .His schedule is heavily sprinkled with laboratory, courses, . which makes each of his courses run more than the customary five hours per week. " Thus for an engineering student to be tapped by Tau Beta Pi requires the making of good grades in spite of his lack of time for studying as well as the giving of time to extra-curricular activities. This indicates a worthiness greater than that required for Phi Beta Kappa,' where only a high scholastic average is necessary for membership. The aim of Tau Beta Pi is to mark in a fitting manner those who have excelled in scholarship and character and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering schools of America. For a student to belong to an organization with the aims and ideals of Tau Beta Pi even though handicapped by the excessive studies of the engineering school is an honor which should not go unnoticed by other students on the campus.

V.C.R. able to advise tailing students, the deans must know the trend of student grades before the term is too far gone. There is registrar's office as springing the requirement on the faculty. More than a year ago jthe .fac ulty discussed and voted that in structors report all failing or un satisfactory students to the reg istrar's "'office by the end of the fourth week of classes. For many years previous the same arrangement had prevailed dur ing the fifth wek. The regis trar merely reminds the fac ulty of this ruling. By the time the reports are collected, sorted by schools, and delivered to the deans, the mid-point of the quar ter is at hand. By the time the deans can discuss plans with failing students these students have no more time than they need to remedy their situation. The value of some such ar rangement for assisting the lame, halt, and blinded of our campus is clear. J ust how to effect it with convenience and profit to all involved is certainly In order that further student thought and suggestion may be informed, I wish to note several misconceptions appearing in cur rent discussions. The name j.iliU.-1CL in cranio 10 uiavvUiatCi Mutual Confidence Arthur Geiger, who was a staff member of the Columbia Spectator during the editorship of Reed Harris and several others, has writ ten an article for the October "University" which gives an inside story of the troubles which were encountered by the student journalist during that hectic year. He tells of attempts of the faculty and alum ni to influence the policies of the newspaper, of the suppressing of stories and news by one of the deans, of the hushing-up of proposed re forms by the school administrators. And what is applied to the Spectator and Columbia might apply to any of the college dailies in the country. As long as the paper carries nothing but an nouncements of faculty and student meetings, of football rallies and games, of all harmless and meaningless news, there is nothing said -or done. But let one of these papers attempt to reform a raw defect which is present in the college administration or touch a sensitive part of : the alumni or. faculty groups, and all fury swarms around that newspaper's figurative head. Geiger tells that Dean Hawkes did not con suit the University president before expelling Harris; he tells of Nick McKnight who sup pressed information which might lead to the exposal of the laxity with which character schol arships were given; he tells of many cases and many men who might be in any university, cases which are flagrantly improper, yet could The Price Of Liberty "The press must be the keyboard on which no University requirement that the government can play," Paul Joseph Goeb- all students must take a special bels, German propaganda minister, declared exam for this purpose. Jhe in some months ago. structor makes his report on Under a new law written by Dr. Goebbels and whatever evidence he sees fit. enactea oy tne mtier cabinet last week, the It is inaccurate to picture the uerman press became exactly that. As a matter of fact, since Hitler came into T power, there has been very little freedom of the press in Germany. Hereafter there will be none. The new law forbids newspapers to publish matter calculated to weaken the power of the Reich at home or abroad, the community will of the German people, its military spirit, or its culture and economy." In other words, it for bids them to publish anything distasteful to the government or, specifically, to Dr. Goebbels, who now becomes virtual dictator over the press. ims is an excellent idea for a country on guard against internal dissention. Dr. Goebbels predicts that every nation will imitate this move within the next five years. Let us hope that, five years from now, freedom of the press in this country will be as prevalent as it is now. W.C.I. a proper subject of discussion. It might be well for all inter ested students to submit sugges tions in writing to President Harper Barnes. I am sure the various administrative offices and the faculty as a whole will give careful consideration to all possible improvements in the col lection and use of the "mid-term reports." At the time the first suggestion was presented it was already too late for the faculty to act on any modification of their regulation for this quarter. Francis F. Bradshaw.

Editor, the Daily Tar Heel: As a member of the Daily Tar Heel staff,1 l wish to make the following comment: A couple of days ago the University faculty met to discuss the important changes in educa tional procedure, particularly as it affects this institution. Hearing through unofficial (but very, very authoritative) ; sources that the busi ness to be brought before this meeting would be of great interest to the students, the Daily Tar Heel sent a representative to The One Who Knows. The reporter wanted to get some news! that would be of interest to the entire student body ; that is the "raison d'etre" of the entire I Daily Tar Heel force, I believe. This is the statement that our reporter trot "the proceedings of the faculty meetings are never made public . . . when we make any de cisions, 111 tell. you what they, are." That is about all that he could get - from an official MIDNIGHT SHOW T IIolU ' lYi.. - fc f'Sure - '- when Vm goad Vm Vfy very good - - - but when , 5 ''m better - - UUCO (c n turn im 6T A new repertory v . . but th A N IVNo Anger . . .
