And it is further obvious that' it is easier to mark a paper which hands a - pro fessor back his lectures in slightly sprightlier style than one which is at pains to disagree with him on reasonable grounds.

' CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE : JACK LOWE Wednesday, May 9, 1934 Dormitories And Democracy fiPHIS year the dormitory council inaugurated a x new policy of having the elections for dormi tory officers for the ensUmg three quarters dur ing the preceding spring quarter. Coming from a group that has proved its wisdom in other ways during the year, this move shakes us somewhat in pur previous confidence in the dormitory coun cil; Although the plan works out well in relation to campus and class officers, in respect to dormi tory officers several obstacles arise in V the path of -.the plan's success. Of the students residing in any particular dormitory this year, perhaps fifty: per cent will return to the same dormitory next -year, and the remaining fifty per cent wil be .governed by a group in whose election they hadi no vote. There are approximately 2,000 students in the University,- : of which number about. 350 will graduate in the spring, 150 live m town, and. 650 are members of social f rater mties. This leaves about ; 850 dormitory resi dents now in school who will reside in the dor mitories next year. There will be 700 freshmen and. about 100 transfers who will occupy dormi tory .rooms next year, and will be governed by dormitory officers whom they did not elect. O the 850 men who will live in dormitories now, 200 .or more will not live in the same dormitory . in -wni.cn they lived this year. This will nu the government, of the dormitories with over 1,000 residents in the hands of a group elected by approximately 650 of their residents. The above figures show reason enough why the elections of dormitory officers should be de f erred until the fall as they have been in the past Ihe election of such officers in the spring is i direct contradiction to the Carolina policy of rep resentative government. J.L. Teaching The Easy Way A NUMBER of the highly respectable gentle men who grace our faculty have been mutter- mg imprecations at a student bodv which has they say, decided to a man not to do any work in the course of the spring quarter politics, hell week, athletics, dances, festivals, the movies and spring fever have all been variously blamed, and the faculty is justly weary, of finding one excuse after another for what it is pleased to consider blank faces and empty heads. Chapel Hill has been humming with activity this spring; and, as usual, the humming has not been done entirely by visitors. Perhaps the learned gentlemen are correct when they say that there has been too much humming, but it alone is not to blame for empty heads, nor is it the lure of a midnight mea down town which can wholly account for droop ing necks and empty seats on class. Miraculously enough, there are some profes sors who are not day by day confronted with the spectacle of a washed-out, dragged-down, and world-weary class, faltering pencils in their hands, stumbling lies upon their lips. For there are' some professors who have the enthusiasm and the vitality and the energy to vitalize abstrac tions, to re-create a dead past till it glows with r life and animation, to give a semblance of life ' to the meanest, lowest creatures in the universe, or to throw out challenging suggestions faster than you can get to Durham. With such instruct tion, work is a pleasure that even the most rov ing spirits do not deny themselves very often. The whines and wails and wheezes of protest do not have their source in professors who have in-. Flies in Your Soup , TN spring a young fly's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of making life as miserable as pos sible for young men whose thoughts have lightly turned toward exams. With the result that flies and a couple of dozen other insects together carry on a persistent campaign of terror among inno cent students who attempt to study in the library! Apparently they are attracted by the lights. Now if this is so, the logical thing, it seems to us, is to turn off the lights.- Since there may be some objection to such a solution,' however, we propose that a small portion of FER A (good ole government!) funds and activities be directed towards fitting the library windows with screens: This will not only permit the use of lights in the library, but will also keep out those insects that come in during the daytime, lights or no lights. In spring, it seems to us, a young FERA's fancy ought to lightly turn to thoughts of screens. Screens to the right, screens to the left, and a war to the finish on flies in our soup! d.b. - Diligence O And Dillinger HPHE search for John Dillinger. P.E. No. 1. has been spread over the front pages of the coun try's newspapers now for several weeks ; every move of the officials in charge of the hunt is made public, and readers are subjected every morning to aceounts of new forces being added to the search groups and of predictions as to how -v the bandit will be brought to hand. And now some sort of other "special force" is being put on the trail of the missing man; more money is being spent in the search for him. The amount of money that is being expended on the hunt is ra a. sum as vgret greater than the amount that" Dillinger has been able to take in his various robberies. And the addition of new men to the searching parties does not simply mean the expenditure of more money;. the way things have been going, it means more potential machine-gun-fodder for Dillinger and his colleagues. The death toll ex acted by these bandits is already greater than that reached in some famous wars; and soon it will probably take a sharp upward trend. Why not give us a slight respite from work on Dillinger ? His arrest is apparently no closer than it was when the search began; and the police are furnishing him an excellent opportun ity to indulge in his favorite pastime. With no search going on, he will have a lesser chance of wasting public money and taking lives, and per haps a rest will give searchers a new energy. T.H.W. Speaking The Campus Mind Graham Memorial Concerts Furnish,, Cultural Side In Student Education "The Sunday afternoon con certs at Graham Memorial are filling a place too long left open in the campus program of en tertainment," remarked Direc tor Mayne Albright recently as he was making last preparations for. one Of the concerts. "I think that we have found in this series the ideal function of the Union in regard to musical prer sentations." - The idea of having these con certs was the result of a "trial and error" method of selection. Two years ago when Albright was named director of Graham Memorial he . was confronted with the problem of entertain ment rwhat kinds of programs should he give the students? First he tried informal dances but the building was. not suited to such large crowds as those that came to the dances. Then he tried special Thursday night programs, presenting : Negro quartets, choruses and entre-acts from . shows playing locally. These were rather well attend ed, but conflicts, expense, and other items showed that these were not the ideal Graham Me morial program. , f ; ' "1 1 ...... - - 1 " . , Ensemble Appears ; Finally . Thor Johnson and his Salon Ensemble, came to the res cue. . Newly .-organized, they Nyanted engagements and the means of buying music. So they asked to be presented in the Union, and were accepted. There they achieved such success that they were engaged to play regu larly once a quarter, which they have been doing since that time. If Seeing how well this group had ben received, Albright de cided to adopt the Sunday after noon concerts as , the, musical programs of the Union. ; Lamar ;Snngfield; and the Sfririg En semble, apart of the North Car olina Symphony orchestra, were tfie next guests to appear,., and; since their first engagement ihey too have played regularly at the Union. Other artists who. have been especially well received are the Raleigh male chorus, Miss Katharine Defenbacher, violinst, the Carolina Glee club, Miss Helen. McGraw, pianist, Beverly Thurmah, y baritone, Miss Mary Lily Smoot and Mrs. Abbie McKinney, sopranos. The twilight hours, the com fortable lounge chairs the hand some lounge itself with its side lights turned low, and the fine type of music all contribute to wards causing these to be called the "ideal programs." t As; one of the audience commented it was in just such a setting that chamber music was. originally written to be presented. 'Be sides this, Director Alhright sees that there is no conflicts. with other programs. The Union- and the Hill music auditorium try to present programs on -4 alternate5 Sundays. If this is impossible, the two entertainments are &v en at different hours. ,,; ..'v; ; ine ounaay aiternoon con certs are becoming more and more popular with the students. Though always well - attended, the Graham Memorial conaerts had at first professors and' towns people as by far the musfrffiimef ous groups of visitors. Grad ually, though, the students have become more interested, so that now much of the crowd'is com posed of them. Usually:' aboht 200 people attend the concepts a crowd which takes up the regu lar seating space of the fiuiling In a number of instances how ever, extra chairs have had: to be brought in for attendances?! about 250. Albright gives 2,500 as a conservative estimate of the total ' number ihat has attended the programs .during thewnole year.; :; Foreign Policy League . r : (Continued from page one) . - enough interest in the work that it is doing to attend two meet ings in succession will automat ically be received into member-snip. Reports are also expected on the success that has been met with thus far in interesting similar groups in other colleges- and Universities throughout the state in the movement which the University group has start ed to make student opinion in. the United States a greater in fluence in the governmental poli cy of the country than it now is Golden Fleece Tapping 4 (Continued from page one) Jl C. B. Ehringhaus spoke on laws which go to make up suc cess in life. . "The order of Golden Fleece was established in 1903 by Dr. Horace Williams, Robert Her ring, and R. S. Stewart. It originally took only rising sen iors into office, but its custom his been modified to include out going students and law students. Student members of Golden t FJeece active now on the campus J. are: Harper Barnes, Jason: Hay wood Weeks, Claiborn Carr, Charles Rose, Don Shoemaker, E; P.

Mrs. Bayard Wootten Gives ... ; Photography Exhibition STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY MEETING IS SUCCESSFUL Domestic Disruption TN a meeting recently, held in one of the dorms at which the nominations for dormitory officers for next year were held, campus politics were very much in evidence. The president, as well as the other officers of the dormitory showed great partiality to individuals whom they had obviously prearranged to be elected, even to the extent of refusing to list all candidates nominated by those other than a favored few. Woe is us! In this age of democracy Shades of Athens are we to be trampled on, are we to be crucified, are. we to be mocked by the nefari ous politicians, are we to be agonized, are we to suffer the humiliation of being deprived of our rights even m our own domicile? O tempore, o mores! If such misfortune can befall us, if we who have lived here one year (or more) can be imposed upon in such a manner, what will those incoming inhabitants of these fair halls have thrust upon them? They will enter into a building dominated by those iniquitous tyrants who have thrust themselves upon us. Cannot one see the folly of these elections? Just because Joe Jebobo has been elected cap tain of the sun-bath team of the third floor, does that insure his return to aforesaid third floor? No '. emphatically no ! . May we repeat "No." What can we of-the minority do? All sugges tions will be cheerfully accepted. . Dissenting Dormitory Dwellers. - : Dr. I. H. Manning of the medi ical school faculty and retiring president of the Medical society of North Carolina, reported yes terday that the meeting of the society in Pinehurst May 1-2 was eminently successful. '. '' There were 729 persons in at tendance at the meeting, and 560 attended the dinner, the main social feature -of the two-day convention, at which Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus was the prin cipal speaker. Y. M. C. A. Obtains Cottages For Blue Ridge Delegates The University Y. M. C.
