CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE: DON McKEE Wednesday, November 7, 1934 PARAGRAPHICS What's m a name? And if so, is Chapel Hill journalism to be called funereal on ac count of Loius Graves and Oscar Coffin ? This co-ed tennis sounds all rung to us. "ladder tournament" And the tersest account of California's elec tion turned out to be, The more the Merriam. One of Three Ways Our mention in these columns, in connection with the publication statements for the past year, of the need for a re-allocation of student publication fees requires considerable amplifica tion if the Daily Tar Hotel's position on the matter is to be clear. The policy of the Publications Union board during the past year is to be both praised and criticized. The board deserves commendation for its sincere attempt to pare down its surplus by giving reduction in junior-senior Yackety Yack representation space and liberal discounts for prompt payment of other space. Right here and now it had best be said that the Daily Tar Heel is in no wise carping about the fabulous "surplus" which has been made the issue of so many campaigns, or being so brash as to advo cate a wholesale dispensation of what surplus there is among the student body. The surplus which the publications have built up is a healthy index to their soundness. If use must be made of it, and we believe that it should, that use must proceed in a direction beneficial both to the students and to the. publications. Hitherto the latter have not been taken fully into account. There are two channels into which publications profits can be turned. They can be diverted to the interests of the students either directly by " a reduction of student f ees or indirectly by pursuing the same policy that the board did last year There is a third course open, however, which we believe to be the best for both the students and their publications. Under the sys tem employed last year, the money-making pub lication bears the brunt of the loss of another that may have been badly managed, for instance This third course would be to turn the profits of publications back into the publications them selves, maintaining, however, a reasonable sur plus against unforeseen contingencies. This would be to the students' benefit in that better publications could be published on this campus It cannot be denied that the Publications Union board did increase the budgets of the publica tions to correspond, roughly, with the amount "returned" to the students. But 'under no cir cumstances should the publications as a whole sustain a loss because of space reductions or dis counts which are supposedly to the students benefit indirectly, but which, if carried to a logi cal conclusion, would result in cheapening the character of Carolina's publications. If possible, each publication should be put on' a basis of self sufficiency, even if it entails a slight increase in fees, which are more reasonable on this campus than on nearly any other in the United States. Resultant profits should then be returned to the publications. Both Sides At the outset of preparation for the students' anti-war conference which will begin tomorrow night, there were many representative students whose interest in the conference Was only luke warm because they were afraid of the "radical ness" of any move purported to hit at the ques tion of war from all angles. They shrank from the thoughts of participating in a conference with anyone who had ideas socialistic in nature. Heywood Broun would have a lot to say if he were to visit this campus. Says Mr-. Broun: "Every man ought to be a radical at s some period in his life. College is the best place to start. In most countries of the world the stu dent bodies are sensitive to all the new thought whether it be political, economic, or philosophic But here intense effort has been made toward standardization. . . . They have become almost private property and not only the composition of the faculty but the doctrine to be set forth is subject to the veto of some absentee lord who has eased his conscience with a generous con tribution. ... "My own impression is that many young fac ulty members seem radical only in comparison to the university dean or president. It is inevi table that the period between 18 and 22 should be one of inquiry and even skepticism. Progress must dry up if every generation follows sedu lously in the footsteps of those who have gone before.. ". . . The thing which threatens education is the forced drying up of the streams of thought. The rich man who is effect buys the university and says "Now you teach the things that I be ieve" is the real rebel and traitor to the spirit of learning." While we are not in the position of subser vience to a "rich landlord," we are nevertheless oath, in the face of tradition that is mis-nomered 'liberalism," to stray from the parochial paths of strictly orthodox investigation. It is the job of every scholar to acquaint himself with every potential point of view. While radicalism can be destructive to col ege campuses by becoming rampant and dis integrating in its attacks, its viewpoints are to be cherished as providing the opportunity for forming the opinions of problems, the solving of which tomorrow will rest upon the convictions which are established by the generation of today. Now the Girls Sing The advent of a woman's glee" club to this campus comes as welcome news not only to co-eds interested in this activity but also to the many transfers who have missed this most venerated and respected institution. All girls interested in music will find an oppor tunity to express themselves in this way; be it singing for the love of it, for voice improvement, for learning new music, or merely for making new friends and meeting once a week in a new atmosphere. Under H. Grady Miller, the group will be or ganized into a regular glee club, sometimes meet ing in collaboration with the men's club. It opens a new field for co-ed participation to add to the many innovations which have sprung up on this campus as opportunities for expression on the part of the co-eds. These People Who Talk Attending the Southern Students Conference the past week in Memphis, Tennessee, was a dele gate who evidently possessed very little respect for her school. This student, engaged at pres ent in graduate work at the University of Mis sissippi, one Miss Lucy Luckey, openly made a statement before the whole convention to the effect that the moral standards at that univer sity were of a decrepit nature. This open confession seems most uncalled for inasmuch as some reporter who happened to be present and heard her denouncing words grabbed the stuff along with a picture of the young lady Friday morning the whole thing was plastered across the front pages of the leading southern newspapers. Now, although the "boysh 'n gurlsh" down in ole Miss are probably no more corrupt than the average college today, parents everywhere will become skeptical about sending their offspring to such a place of devastation. What if the morals, table manners, and per sonal habits are all rotten down in the Delta State? Does that necessitate telling the world about it? Whatever the conditions are, broad casting the facts does anything but ameliorate them. The conference, Miss Luckey, and all con cerned would have been much better off had the co-ed's words never been uttered. Instead of telling the group about the troubles at home, she would have done well to institute a. drive on the school's campus in an effort to wipe out the undesirable evils. Surely her efforts would have been more efficient in gaining her point; and the world at large would not have had occasion to look at Mississippi University with any other than approving eyes.
