CITY EDITOR-FOR THIS ISSUE: DON McKEE Thursday, January 31, 1935 ; PARAGRAPHICS Father Riggs declared: "Ignorance of what people are really like is an evil thing." Why, you old nudist, you. Ve suggest the student council be tried for keeping the boxers out past their bed hour. The best thing for a driver with no state tag to do when a policeman is around is to keep out of cite. We Want Trophies The Monogram Club, which will meet tonight, has a by-law in its constitution that athletic man agers may not get their monogram until all tro phies won by the particular team are handed in to a central place of collection. This , has not been enforced and only one trophy since 1924 has been saved, with Rip Slusser's help. "The trophies belong to the institution. They were won by the representatives of the institu tion." So says "Doc" R. B. Lawson, who revived interest in trophy-collection in 1905, has spent over $300 of his own money in such a pastime, and who since 1924 has , been virtually the only man vitally interested in the trophy room and its significance. The senior class has a trophy collection com mittee. All the missing trophies since .1924 should be collected. The Monogram Club should stringently enforce the rule regarding the man agers. The Order of the Grail, as in former days, should aid by appropriations in the care of the significant emblems of intercollegiate sport. Anyone who has been north has admired the historic collections of collegiate sportsware. There is fascination in trophies which 1 colleges should cherish. From 1904-24 every trophy at Chapel Hill was collected, marked, and cata logued, largely at '.'Doc" Lawson's expense, but since 1924 nothing has been done about collect ing the trophies for a permanent display. It should be mandatory that managers turn in trophies, even boxing gloves and tennis balls, to some responsible person. Here is an oppor tunity for the Monogram Club and the senior class to co-operate in a worthwhile enterprise. Return to The Rope? x According to recent statistics, this state, with 17 on its death row,, shares second place in the nation with California; Florida leads with 20 awaiting electrocution. North Carolina far sur passes her neighbor states in the number await ing the switch. California is one of the few remaining states to practice hanging of her criminals. The cir cumstances are enough to dispel any desire as expressed by one of our state solons to return to the noose as a means of capital punishment. Empirical knowledge has taught that the method of punishment by a state, in efforts to reduce the criminality rate, is quite secondary to social efforts which seek to strike crime at its roots. Of the 94 electrocutions between 1909 and .1929, 81 of the. number 'were-negroes, nearly all of which were of the lowest economic and social status. This is clearly indicative that social legislation is needed far Tnore. than new methods of punishment. A New Union - .-... - For.a.-New.Era , . ' On the1 pre-war cbllegecampuses there were to be found many thriving organizations which gave the' college man an 'opening to expres his opinions and receive the opinions of his fellow students concerning poHtical and current prob lems of the day. kIn. brief the pre-war college man was conscious of "a world about him. After the war the collegian seemed to tajce the- attitude that all the problems of the world were solved, that the issues were washed and disintegrated in the war. -'. Today the student is tending towards a spon taneous interest in what is going on in this world of ours. He realizes that the world is cleaning house and is doing some drastic remodeling. Some campuses are already fitted to meet the demands of this refreshed student interest; some are in the process of being fitted. The colleges and ami versifies in England have the most ade quate organizations for such discussions of cur rent events. The Oxford Political Union is most famous. .. It is known throughout England as be ing the most potential campus organization ever founded. : ' ' " " In this country Yale has taken the lead. Very recently a Yale Political Union' was formed. For the first meeting the union had as its guest speaker a United States senator. The senator presented the subject of discussion from the gov ernmental and political standpoint. Immediately following the senator's presentation, a Yale stu dent discussed the topic from the student stand point. ' 'In this way two sound presentations , of the current problem were made, one from the elder experienced generation and one from, our own unbiased eager generation. The first Yale Political Union meeting was a model meeting- of the sessions to follow: a guest speaker,, an in formed student speaker, and then an open forum. What have we here on this campus? We have three main organizations, .the Foreign Policy League, the Di, and the Phi. The Foreign Policy League under the supervision of Dr. Frazer ap pears to be doing some very fine and construe tiorial thinking, but its field is specialized. It is a society with the right idea and should con tinue with the best of success. The Di and Phi are existing on their reputations. They 'are phlegmatically getting along:- Their ideals are excellent, but need lubrication zip ! '. This editorial is not written for condemning the Di or the Phi, but is for the creating of a new organization on this campus the Carolina Political Union. , . , SPEAKING CAMPUSlMIND An Old . Spanish .... To the Spanish student who is commercially minded has. often arisen the question of why the University insists upon teaching Spanish as used in Spain rather than Spanish as used in Latin America?" Most students conclude that if they are to use. their meager knowledge of Spanish at all, it will probably be in Central or South Amer ica rather than in Old Spain. The differences between the two branches of the language are almost entirely those of pro nunciation. The split originated in Spain long before the New World was ever thought of, the inhabitants of the northern part speaking the clear, crisp Castilian and those of the southern part speaking the slow, soft Andalusian. Anda lusian, then, bears the same relation to Castilian that the southern drawl bears to the Yankee twang in the United States. As it happened most of the conquistadors came from the south ern part of Spain thus the use of Andalusian in Latin America today. ' The critic of the policy of teaching Castilian in American universities is quick to point out that an American, even though he have a 'mod erate command of Castilian, has a difficult time in understanding a native of South' or Central America. This is true enough, but the difficulty is usually cleared up with a few days practice. The most obvious reason for the study of Cas tilian is that it was until very recently the lan guage of the court and probably always will be the language of Spanish literature. To the stu dent who is interested primarily in such culture this, is all-important. However, there are arguments which should be just as convincing to the future salesman of American thrashing machines in the Argentine. A South American is immediately thrown upon his guard when he meets a foreigner who speaks with the Castilian accent, however poorly. That he feels his inferiority is shown by the fact that he usually tries to imitate, the accent of the for eigner and without success. This brings up the5 fact that a person who has learned Castilian can lapse into the lazier Andalusian with ease, while a person who has started- out with Anda lusian can only with difficulty master Castilian. A further point for the study of Castilian is that an object is not always called by the same word in the various countries of Latin America. This difficulty is cleared lip by the use of Cas tilian which is understood everywhere Spanish is spoken, i - . v Shock, Shame, And Pretty Pass v - - - Editor, the Daily Tar Heel : It Tvas with some shame' that I read Tuesday's edition of the DaiLY Tar Heel1.' The 'usual calm and desirable policy of the paper to deal in news and not in personalities was abruptly and shockingly ended with an un called-for headlined article deal ing with the-week-end trip of three University men who, so it happens, are ; at present under fire from University authorities for acts of; their own doing if such acts were done. It smack ed . to me of; yellow journalism. Things have indeed come to a pretty, pass when rumor alone gets articles 'that - have no busi ness everi being in a newspaper straight into a front page-spread two columns wide.' " College newspapers as : purveyors o f news from the college to the stu dent body and to.friends of the University involved should not hedge in reporting ! clearly and concisely any events of import ance that transpire and in doing this, the truth is absolutely ,es sential. Facts alone constitute truth and' rumor ; is' anomalous. To quote from the'subhead in the Daily Tar Heel of January 29, 1935, "Entering Catholic; U. Is Intention. According to Campis Rumor." -ilt is my sincere hope that this article received such prominent space due to the over-zealousness of the make-up man, or the im pulsiveness of some cub report er, and not as a result of careful thought on the part of the ed itor. . It is, however, an uncom fortable thought to think that the harm it has done to the in dividuals and to the college can not be undone and . that the, only way out of these embarrassing predicaments in ' the future lies in the careful scrutiny of each and every article that enters the Daily Tar Heel. ... ...
