CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE: IRVING SUSS " Wednesday, February 27, 1935 PARAGRAPHICS And some there are who still say that the only honor board for a freshman is the, paddle. Wrestling news item' of last week: "Love Takes 41 Seconds." Certainly shows what you can do in a clinch. Too bad President Roosevelt vetoed the $500,000 appropriation for studying control of marine organisms. He's now betrayed the Forgotten Foraminifera. Political Intelligence The turn-out for the first' meeting of the Caro lina Political Union was rather disappointing. Of course, there are many things on the students' minds at this stage of the quarter and the meet ings are not particularly appealing. But the crowd was still not up to expectations. The union, we predict, will develop into some thing really powerful in undergraduate circles. It will take time. If the program is carried out as the union leaders have expressed it, within a year the organization should become recogni zed by all as an interesting and instructive op portunity for political intelligence. . Building A Library English 22, consisting mainly of a survey of the prose and poetry written in England since the eighteenth century, employs a textbook call ed British Poetry and Prose, 1362 pages, which contains virtually all the material needed for class work in the particular course. Outside ; reading can (be done adequately in the library. Now, we understand, just 10 days from exam inations, English 22 students are told to pur chase The College Omnibus, priced at $2.85 in the, Book Exchange. It must be a new book, for there are no second-hand copies of the new edi tion at the Book Exchange. The total assign ments given by one professor in the book could be read, we understand, in one night of concen trated reading. But the students must buy the book, look overthe roommates' shoulders, or otherwise inconvenience themselves. "It's a racket," quoted an English 22 professor in class. "I'm going to write a book myself." If the teachers themselves ' deplore the "rac ket" and the students can find no particular de light in shelling out nearly three dollars, some thing obviously must be done about the situa tion. Or maybe it's a campaign to Build Up the Undergraduate Library. ; Practicality In the Y. M. C. A. The mimeographed list of activities of the Y. M. C. A. which members discussed Monday night included several useless sub-titles which help only by making the list more impressive. The Y. M. C. A. has done good work this year. It has gained more campus respect by doing more practicable things. But its activity program is cluttered up with activities which, on paper, are very nice, but in practice are non-existent. "Cultivating Friendship" is not an activity ; it is the result of definite activity. We think this organization would do well to be practical and let the ultimate goals take care of themselves. Neglected . v Fencing Team When Coach Jones of the. William & Mary fencing team offered to give the visiting Carolina fencers a few pointers after the disastrous meet last Saturday, his generosity, while fully appre ciated by the Tar Heels, made them feel like homeless and neglected orphans. In any form of athletics, and especially in one which requires the" high degree of nicety and precision that fencing does, efficient and regular coaching is necessary if any sort of team is to be expected. No clearer illustration of this can be offered than the outcome of last Saturday's meet. A year ago, an uncoached Carolina team met and easily defeated the uncoached William and Mary fencers. Since then, the Virginians have secured the services of an excellent coach and have prof ited from his teaching to such an extent that almost the identical men who lost to Carolina last season routed the Tar Heel swordsmen 14-3 last week. The Carolina men were so clearly outclassed that the William and Mary coach was moved to offer them instruction. There is only one man on the fencing team who has not had instruction and experience in prep, school fencing previous to coming to the University. But, forced to work out against the same few teammates week after week, it is dif ficult for any athlete to keep from forgetting what he has previously learned, and impossible for him to add to his store of knowledge. When school opened last fall, some slight effort was made to secure a fencing instructor for Carolina. Under the suggested plan the Univer sity would have been put to little expense and the fencing team would have benefited infinitely. After much letter writing and discussion, the idea was finally abandoned for reasons not made convincingly clear. The team was granted a meager appropriation for absolutely necessary equipment and left to shift for itself. The University has not seen fit to recognize fencing as a minor sport. As yet, fencing doesn't deserve such recognition. But the athletic de partment has shown enough interest in the sport to grant it a small appropriation for equipment and the expenses of a single trip. Some money has been spent, and some interest has been shown in a half-hearted attempt to restore fencing to the position it once held among minor sports. Certainly Carolina wants a winning team. We have the material, as Coach Jones remarked, but until some sort of coaching is made available, fencing at Carolina is doomed either to an ignoble death or the continuation of a haphazard exist ence on starvation rations. Enlightening Entertainment The Student Entertainment committee is to be complimented on the selection of attractions to be presented here during the' remainder of the scholastic year. The entertainments have been considered from the standpoint of student appeal more thoroughly, according to campus opinion, . than has been customary in the past. The next feature which has been booked by the committee is the appearance of the world's youngest ballet dancer, Nini Theilade, who is coming here "straight from Hollywood." Some unfounded criticism has been heard from stu dents because of the' several 'postponements of Miss Theilade's program. These delays have been occasioned by the fact that the young danseuse is at present busily engaged in cine matic production and consequently was forced to request postponement of her appearance here. The attractions for next quarter are equally worthwhile. The Russian Symphonic Choir and the DeWolf Hopper Operatic Company in "The Mikado" will both appear here. Supplementary to the regular schedule, the committee will spon sor the return to the campus of one of its most talented young graduates, Thor Johnson, who will bring the University of Michigan Little Symphony here early in April. The committee has been active in procuring for the students here some of the most famous artists in the world. "Green Pastures" was an auspicious choice last quarter and Miss Theilade is a most attractive follow-up. An added inno vation will be the appearance on the same pro gram of the Whitney String Quintet which will accompany Miss Theilade. Publicity By Co-operation The Cabarrus county alumni of the University have just subscribed to a special offer presented by the University Club consisting of regular de. livery of the Daily. Tar Heel, the Carolina Magazine, the Finjan, and the Yackety Yack. The important feature of the Cabarrus alumni's action was that these publications will be sent to each high school in that county regularly. The University Club is in the midst of a cam paign to provide, with the help of alumni, Caro lina publications in every high and preparatory school in the state. It is excellent publicity of the most convincing kind and the club feels, as do we, that it will tend -to boost the local roster next fall. N " SPEAKING the ' " . CAMPUS MIND Imprudent Meeting Editor, The Daily Tar Heel": The "imprudent" meeting that was held in Gerrard hall giving the Burlington strikers a fair opportunity to present their side of the case, was brought about by a sincere class of justice-loving citizens who have made a thorough and impartial study of the class struggles, in class room and in real life. It was a rare opportunity to hear the alleged dynamiters give their side of the case, espe cially at a time when confidence is shaken in the present judicial system where injustice has been nieted out in so many cases, because of the lack of proper leadership and lack of financial means on the part of the under privileged. The members of the-committee who invited the prisoners to speak are to be congratulated in giving the citizens and students of Chapel Hill the opportunity to hear first hand knowledge of current labor troubles." It is a fine privilege to sit in class room or church auditorium and hear discussed the terrible struggles -of the downtrodden people in far away lands, but to hear about actual experiences right at our own door and to do something about it is entirely a different matter. Every free dom loving citizen whose taxes go to support an educational in stitution has a right to have a fair hearing in the name of so cial justice. Realizing that religion itself is forced to truckle to worldly policy, I sympathize with those connected with the press, that a similar predicament confronts them if they do not give special preference td those who live in the higher circles. May there be more meetings of this type to enlighten the minds of students of the efforts being put forth by all those in any status of life who seek for justice and fair play in the cir cles of conflicting thought., REV.

MacNider of the Uni versity school of medicine have returned from Fayetteville where they attended the annual reunion of the graduates of the old North - Carolina University medical school. This reunion was unusual in that all the medical men that at tended are graduates of a school which no longer exists. The old University 'medical school was operated from .1903 to 1910 and was situated in Raleigh.
