PARAGRAPHICS
"Faculty Adds Howe to Greater University
Council." And Howe, eh ?
Things are looking up for the Republican
party. It's flat on its back.
Ad on the "Y" bulletin board: "Room for
Rent To Young Lady with Heat Close TJp
Pittsboro St." How close?
A Sure
Defense
"There seems to be a gradual increasing trend
toward the abolishment of 'Honor Systems' in
colleges and schools all over the country," com
ments the Davidsonian in a recent editorial.
Davidson's student paper further reminds us
that the honor system was abolished two years
ago at Georgia Tech, a few weeks ago at a divi
sion of Tulane University, and quite recently at
State College. Its editors are correct in their
statement that the honor principle is undergoing
a crisis.
Fortunately for this University however, the
honor system has weathered the storm, as it has
at Davidson, whose students, like ours, take pride
in the structure that they have built through the
years. Indeed, it is this pride and "selves"
respect that are the keystone of the, span. So
long as Carolina maintains them, the honor sys
tem here is impregnable from the assaults of. the
few who unthinkingly would destroy it.
Change in '
Nomenclature
Nobody deplores more than the Daily Tar
Heel the practically enforced custom of calling
the three divisions of the Greater University
"units."
To those who are used to referring to the
University as just that" or as "Carolina," the
new name which consolidation has christened
us with seems distasteful in a good many ways.
There is no more insipid word than "unit" when
applied to the social organism that is the Uni
versity. It is cold and impersonal, belonging
more to the objectivity of scientific terms than
to the personality of this institution. Any
change, almost, wbuld be an improvement.
j The Daily Tar Heel has had occasion to refer
before to the apparent inappropriateness of the
name. Writers throughout the state have humor
ously commented on the lack of feeling that the
"unit" would produce in a school song. If it is
ridiculous, then, to suppose that the word would
be fitting in a school song, it is no less impor
tant that the phrase be discouraged altogether.
If it will dampen the ardor of football enthusi
asts, then it certainly 4 will not be conducive to
warming the feelings of alumni toward the Uni
versity. ' We are taking a step toward discouraging it
by forbidding the use of "Chapel Hill unit" when
the University is named in connection with the
Greater University. ' From now on the Daily
Tar Heel will observe this change in style .
tentatively, at least substituting the phrase
"the University at Chapel Hill" for wherever
the former was heretofore used.
To Be ' .;-"'
Continued --f
The anti-war conference has ended. From the
generalizations and the analyses we have
emerged with a more intense -desire to attack
the problem of war, instead of a depreciated en
thusiasm in the question.
And why? Because what we heard on both
sides (politically speaking) of the war attack
has offered the specific channels for further study
and analysis. Realizing that war is not deter
mined by the people's will, that political policies
are the nation's policies, that war under the pres
ent system seems almost inevitable despite what
the people think, we are all the more eager to
take the special phases and work the problem
out, not only that we may oppose war in the
next crisis but also that we may be fit to remedy
the faults allowing war when our turn comes.
The Foreign Policy league will proceed on these
lines. The New Deal tariff policy, the Nye in
vestigations, the traditions and traits of national
racial groups, the political intrigue involved in
munitions these and many other factors which
affect the war problem will be taken separately
and given thorough treatment.
Thus, although the conference was a re-hash
in many instances and extremely enlightening
in others, its greatest contribution to the Caro
lina campus has been its instigation of student
inquisitiveness into the details of a complex
situation.
Camel
From Those ' '
Affected '
The selection of a query for high school de
bating has always offered the debating union a
difficult problem, because the topic must not im
ply too many complex and advanced aspects but
must at the same time be a topic of general im
portance and constructively educational.
Resolved, that the United States should adopt
the policy of extending federal aid to genera
public education, is the topic selected for state
high schoolers this year. It is the most appro
priate and the most important subject which
could possibly have been chosen for North Caro
lina secondaries.
High school debaters are members of a sys
tern to which the state offers less financial aid
than any other state in the union except one; a
system to which federal aid will not be granted
except in the indirect method of helping unem
ployed teachers; a system to which over 50 per
cent of state appropriations are applied and in
sufficient state income determines this quota as
a dreadfully meagre allowance; a system which
county and local units must support but are un
able to; a system which is grossly inadequate
for student training because of this financial
condition.
Federal aid. must be granted if the secondary
school standard is, to be raised or at least main
tained. The . state is giving more than v it can
afford, which cuts into the budgets of other state
appropriations ; the local and county units, when
only seven of them voted to raise their financial
support, "manifested that they were unable to
help; the budgets on every side are pared to the
bone. If federal aid does not come to the res
s. ...
cue, the state's already low standard of public
school education will become lower or at any
rate not improve.
What the high schoolers have to say will be
important; when the affected speak, the affect
is enlightening.
Give Us
More Time
It was the idea of the joint faculty and stu
dent committee for the student-faculty exposi
tion that the exhibitions of departments and
schools would be continued for fully a week so
that the student body and other interested spec
tators would have the chance of viewing the
whole program of University activity.
The reason, naturally, was that one day would
be insufficient for. the purpose of getting the stu
dents together with the faculty in the common
interest of the University. In this connection
we would like to go further.
Whereas Wednesday, February 20, will actual
ly be the day set for the exposition, the fact that
the expositions will continue impresses the need
of a few days or a week following the day being
set aside in a general "open house" on the cam
pus. Wednesday, of course, will be a holidav
there isno need for further holidays but the
spirit of friendship between faculty members
and the students must continue on an informal
basis if the affair is going to be a success.

There can be hours set aside for this practice,
or the groups themselves can. bv invitation, de
cide the most suitable times for the get-togethers.
In other words, whereas the Universitv serves
as the common medium for getting the Univer
sity folk together, a common bond of friendshm
should be the Understanding for a complete in
formal social contact. In this way, both the ad
ministrative and social education of the faeultv
and the students can be effected. '
Caravan Gets First Place
In Poll For Favorite Radio Hour
Guy Lombardo Ranks Second, Hal Kemp and Bing Crosby Tie for
Third in Votes Received Among 100 Students Questioned.

OUTSTANDING RADIO
BROADCASTS
Sunday, Nov. 11
Of 100 students asked at
random to name their favorite
radio program, 24 chose the
Camel Caravan, with Glen
Gray's Casa Loma orchestra.
Guy Lombardo and his Royal
Canadians ranked next with 14,
Hal Kemp and Bing Crosby tied
for third place, and the New
York Philharmonic symphony
was fourth with eight votes.
The results of this survey do
not necessarily represent cam
pus opinion as a whole, because
of the limited number of stu
dents questioned ; but the inqui
ry was conducted without re
gard to ereed, race, sex, or po
litical affiliation in an effort to
get opinions from 100 repre
sentative students.
Penner Listed
The programs listed above
were most popular, accounting
for 70 of the votes. Other favor
ites received only a few votes
each. Waring's Pennsylvanians
tied with Town Hall Tonight
for fifth place with five votes
each. Jan Garber and Joe Pen
ner were next with three each.
Eddie Cantor, Wayne King, Will
Rogers, Ben Bernie and George
Hall took seventh place with
two each, and those receiving
only one vote were Frank Por
ter, Nino Martini, Paul White
man, and the Boston Symphony.
From Carolina students, more
loyalty to the alumni might have
been expected. Hal Kemp was
third, and Kay Kyser who
plays the Alma Mater and the
pep song he wrote for Carolina
last year every Friday evening
on his football medley was not
even mentioned. x
Many Unmentioned .
Many once-popular favorites
seem to have faded ' from the
horizon. Isham Jones, sched
uled to Dlav here for the Fall
Germans, was not mentioned.
Paul Whiteman, long a favorite,
stood at the bottom of the list.
Suave Rudy Vallee, once Amer
ica's boy-friend, was ignored.
Eddie Duchin, who continues to
pack them in at the Central
Park Casino, and who brought
his famous piano to Chapel Hill
for finals two years ago, was
completely overlooked. Bert
Lown, who provided lugubrious
music for the junior-seniors the
same year, and Emerson Gill,
who played here last year for an
enthusiastic German club crowd,
seem to have been forgotten.
Jan Garber, last year's finalist,
ranked seventh, sharing that
honor with idiotic Joe Tenner.
Very few personalities were
chosen. Bing Crosby, the only in
dividual star to place in the first
five, received ten of his twelve
votes from co-eds. Other indi
vidual performers ranked very
low. (
Like Variety
"Wayne King ?" sneered one
student. "He hasn't got any
thing but music". Asked what
he meant, the student explained
that he preferred variety in a
program, rather than just
straight music. As several gave
this as their- reason for prefer
ring Glen Gray, it may be as
sumed that the secret of ra
dio. success is not only good mu
sic,, but skits, special features
and unusual songs. To this also
may be attributed the downfall
of the once-popular Joe Penner.
"This time last year," said a
student, "my vote would have
gone to Joe. But now I know
exactly' what he's going to say,
and how, before he says it.
