PAR AGRAPHICS
And from the intentions of a major part
of the campus, Doc Craig's course will prob
ably have to be, given in Kenan stadium.
The way the New Deal is distributing
49,200 documents for one mechanic, it looks
as if F.D.R. has found the forgotten man. v
The incoming Tide will no doubt fill the
Bowl to overflowing.
Honor Among
The Freshmen
The new freshman president is starting out
on his tenure of office with an appointment of a
committee to study the honor system. He
stressed the failure of freshmen to observe the
conditions of the honor system, and hopes that
the work of the committee will serve to instill
in the minds of the present freshman class a
feeling of honor in their relations here. .
" Committees and programs 'devoted to this
same purpose have been instigated here before,
but up till now they have been mainly nominal
and inactive. The field for action and a definite
stand on this question is self-evident. If Mullis
succeeds in his plan, he will have accomplished
something few freshman presidents in the past
have, a fulfillment of pre-election promises.
Congratulations are due to him and to the
committee that he has appointed.
Governmental
Housecleaning
Second only to unemployment in these United
States is .the ever present menace to American
society crime. Even here crime is placed sec
ond only because unemployment is a more recent
and a more immediate problem; that is, it has
become a foremast ill condition to be relieved by
thefederal administration within the past few
years. Crime, however, costs the nation annual
ly approximately two and a half times what un
employment relief consumed during the past
year.
Governor Ehringhaus of this state recently
appealed to the United States as a, whole, as well
as to the law administration of his own state, to
inaugurate a sweeping campaign to terminate
that evil. Federal officers have in previous years
launched drives of the sort advocated by the
governor, but they have all been sadly short
lived. These- former thrusts have been encour
agingly successful while in operation.
Ehringhaus, in stating the main reasons why
crime prevention in this commonwealth is not
faring better (and he might well have allowed
the reasons to apply "to the country in general),
enumerated the two most important as being:
1) disorganization of the law enforcing agencies,
and 2) inadequate personnel.
This latter is doubtless the most imminent of
the two, inasmuch as it points toward those
members, inevitably present in all governmental
departments, who are suckers for bribes and who
, are potentially crooked. If it were possible for
the governor in his house cleaning to weed out
such individuals, his project would be well on
the road to success. He might try this at least,
and the installation of officers, county agents and
the like, who have recently been elected and are
shortly to be installed, is not a bad place to start.
Taking Profits V
Out of Warfare v ' 4 -
.President Roosevelt stirred up a tempest when
he asked a. group of powerful federal and indus
trial leaders to prepare legislation for the com
ing Congress which will take the profit oiit of war
and assure orderly mobilization of American men
and resources in the .event, of future conflict.
The president's action was severely criticized by
members -of .the Senate munitions, investigating
committee, which-feels that this .step will halt
and check the investigation now being carried on.
-President Roosevelt wants to get a definite
piece of legislation against wartime profit mak
ing through the present session of Congress. The
most important recommendations for the new
legislation include equal treatment and distri
bution of labor, safeguards against inordinate
rises of wartime prices, arid conservation of guid-,
ance of private capital for essential uses during
time of stress. '
, i ....
The committee's accusations seem to hinge on
the fact that it is afraid that the work will be
discounted. Its apprehension seems to us to be
justified. The committee has uncovered a cess
pool of blood-money and has made revelations
that heretofore have not been public property.
It has gone about this investigation to show the
impotence of arms legislation when confronted
by a munitions lobby. Anything that even re
motely resembles a hindrance to a complete probe
of the situation would Te contrary to the public
good. "Let the investigation be concluded, then
legislate. And in the meantime, let every news
paper in the country publish the filthy trans
actions of these "merchants of death." It will
be a powerful deterrent to war.
A Hand for,
The Glee Club
The Glee Club is a campus institution com
posed of a comparatively small group of students
who devote three hours of their more or less
valuable time a week to practice, and they have
succeeded in getting up a repertoire of some
ten songs that is far from bad. Grady Miller
has been on the job at every practice during the
quarter and has even gone so far as to institute
an extra practice once a week for those new men
who felt that they could benefit from more in
dividual instruction.
The University Glee Club occupies on this cam
pus a unique position, incongruous' when com
pared to the position occupied by the glee clubs
in other large universities. To be a member of
such an organization in universities like Har
vard and Yale is a recognized and sought after
honor. Here the members are comparatively
unknown unless they are active in other fields
also. Yet, the quality of the University Glee
Club's work stands on equally as high a plane
as the choral work in other schools.
Campus attitude toward trained group singing
is, as in other lines of endeavor, , lethargic.
Lamentable though this is, the remedy can lie
only with, the individuals.. Until this attitude
changes, the Glee Club will probably have to
resign itself to its fate, and have as its reward
appearances in other schools and its own per
sonal satisfaction of a job well done.
Fun for

After a long official argument officialdom
granted us an extra day. We're tickled!

Changes Being Made
In Geology Courses

department head yesterday.
The course in commercial ge
ography or geology 52 offered

PATRONIZE OUR
ADVERTISERS
Speeding across the continent
of North America, up hill and
down dale, sleeping and eating
and gazing out of pullman win
dows on the vast expanse of our
native land, Professor Frederick
H, Koch is on his way to Los
Angeles to tell a group of teach
ers how to make folk plays.
Koch left last night on his
railroad cruise to the west, plan
ning to whisk across and back
again before December 23, when
he is scheduled to appear in RaU
eigh to read Dickens' "A Christ
mas Carol." ,
' - - . -
Many. thousand miles must be
traversed before the Carolina
Playmaker head will give his
six lectures, two a day, to the an
nual Teacher's Institute in Los
Angeles. According to Koch, he
will use as the, general topic, for
his lectures, "Making an Amer
lean Folk Drama." ; ,
Koch taught in the University
of California and the University
of Southern California- in past
summer school sessions,, and the
people of California will not be
disturbed should Proff Koch
climb, off the . west-bound ex
press, drowsy eyed, sooty and
tired. They know that no ride
on an iron horse can shake loose
his heart-full of folk drama.

Credit Is Due
Editor, the Daily Tar Heel:
May I express to you in behalf of the entire
business staff appreciation of your editorial com
mending our present organization plan. Stu
dent understanding and confidence are especially
essential to the best performance of this office
They are necessary also as a firm foundation for
the alumni loyalty and support of the future
These considerations will lead us always to en
courage the interest and advice of student lead
ers relative to bur problems. -
I deem it important, however, to call atten
tion to a possible wrong interpretation of your
editorial. The policies and arrangements that
you have.been goo'd enough to commend are not
so much an innovation as a gradual development
over a period of years. They embody the ideas
and judgment of the entire local business staff,
under the wise , guidance of the controller. Mr.
Charles T. Woollen, and also the suggestions of
other University officers.
While glad to accept responsibility for the
adoption of the plan, I wish to make it clear that
credit for its good features must be widely dis
tributed. L. B. ROGERSON, Ass't Controller.
