PAR AGR APHICS
Dr. Andrews will speak on "Molecular
Models." Wonder if they, too, are stream
lined this year?
The finance committee wants a chain store
floor tax. . That's what we call getting down
to the bottom of things.
We see where Dean Jackson promised to in
troduce freshmen around at Woman's College.
Got any telephone numbers for an upperclass
man, Dean?
An Honor for
The University
The election of Dr. Edgar Knight to the posi
tion of president of the National Education Soci
ety is just another proof of the high standing of
the University's faculty. Despite the low salary
scale Carolina has professors who, time after
time, have been given national recognition.
In the' meantime, however, our only hope is
that the faculty will maintain the spirit which
provoked President Graham to say before the ap
propriations committee that they had saved the
University. We cannot afford, by inadequate
appropriations, to lose the faculty that we have
to other institutions and other fields of endeavor.
Time and Tide '
And Professors
As Casual Correspondent Lansdale remarked
in his column recently, the last few days of the
quarter find a goodly number of students fran
tically endeavoring to make up a quarter's work
in the brief time that remains before exams are
upon us. That is only half the story; the faculty
are often caught short too.
It always has been a trait of student character
to put off work until the last minute. After
exams, one hears on every side the sincere reso
lutions of cramming-wearied students that
"never again will I try to do a whole quarter's
work in a few nights." -Yet, despite the friendly
advice of the faculty, the same thing seems to
occur every quarter.
, But certainly the dilemma in which many pro
fessors find themselves at the close of this quar
ter is no sort of example for that most astute
of bodies, the faculty, to set for the students.
Professors all over the campus have been awak
ening to the fact, rather belatedly, that this quar
ter is the shortest of the year, and that there
remains hardly enough time to hurry through
more work, we believe, than should be left to be
done efficiently at this late date.
Somehow, although they are in the habit of
last-minute hustling themselves, students feel
that their rights are being violated when faculty
members resort to such tactics. Unfair as it
may seem, students are perfectly justified in feel
ing as they do. Professors should learn after
very little experience that students will always
have the poor judgment to wait until the last
minute to hand in work that should have been
done earlier in the quarter. That, unfortunately,
is an incorrigible trait of youth. But professors
can find no justification whatever for letting
time sneak up unawares on them.
: This business of assigning long book reviews,
term papers, oral reports, themes, and what not
at the last minute is something that could best
be done without. The thing occurs every winter
quarter without fail. The faculty, must know
as well as the student body that this is the short
est quarter of the year, and it should make some
practicable preparation for covering the courses
in the time available without having to rush
through the last few weeks.
SPEAKING '
the '
CAMPUS MIND
Suggesting the Time
For Student-Faculty Day
The 'joint committee which so efficiently ran
the recent Student-Faculty Day celebration met
Friday afternoon in order to make plans for the
second annual affair next year and to consider
the various shortcomings in the first project.
Proposals are now common for the changing of
the date for the second annual Student-Faculty
Day. The winter quarter, it is argued, is short
enough, without slicing a few days out of the
schedule (and it is well known that this year's
celebration actually consumed more than the sin
gle day from the student schedule). Further
more, Founder's Day has never been a full holi
day and a combination of Student-Faculty Day
and this anniversary would do justice to both.
However, most students do not feel this way
about it. In the. first place, Founder's Day is
October 12 and the fall quarter has hardly gotten
underway, with fraternity rushing, football
games, orientation, and other diversions con
suming most of the undergraduate's time. In
addition, this year's experiment showed that
more than a month is required to get the exhibits
in order and the program arranged. To say that
these things could be done in the summer-time
is taking a lot for granted.
As for the spring quarter, attention is cen
tered on other things politics, sun-bathing,
graduation, and spring sports. Furthermore, the
year would be so far advanced that the true
effectiveness on the new freshmen would be lost.
We believe that the date of February 20 or
thereabouts is best suited for Student-Faculty
Day. There is ample time for preparation, there!
is the proper undergraduate atmosphere follow
ing a quarter of orientation and settlement, there
is a more compact feeling of University con
sciousness during the winter months. If Student
Faculty Day is to become the tradition we believe
it will, the date must remain fairly regular.
Duke Takes to
A Junior Varsity
Duke University has announced that it will
form a junior varsity football team to begin com
petition next fall dependent no doubt upon be
ing able to find someone to compete with. The
news is particularly good to us because of the
fact that we have been endeavoring to start a
move for such a team at Carolina.
Duke's move helps to clear up one of the prob
lems which puzzled us most that of finding suit
able competition. It now comes to light that
Carolina once had a "B" team which played such
teams as Fort Bragg, the Wilmington Light In
fantry, and State's reserves.
There is no reason why Carolina should not
form a junior varsity to compete, possible with
these former rivals, and certainly with Duke.
Duke has shown the. way to action.
Taking a Crack
At America's Liberty
Dartmouth's virile president, Dr. Ernest M.
Hopkins, returning to America after a two
months visit to Italy and Egypt, has come to the
conclusion that one of America's greatest perils
lies in a blind loyalty to an idea of liberty "in
which we agree that all discipline is bad."
Although not interested in military training
from the point of view of preparedness for war,
he is strongly in favor of it as a training in dis
cipline, which, he says, "is the most valuable
thing a young man can get." Also along this
line, he is convinced that the CCC would be of
more benefit to the public if it were more defi
nitely under the military regime.
All of this is in harmony with his theory that
what America needs is more organization. While
hitting laissez-faire with the statement, "The
theory of rugged individualism is predicated on
the theory that there is no responsibility for co
operation in anything," he goes on to say that
America, with its divided loyalties, has little
chance to compete with nations whose popula
tions are regimented "in a single specific loyalty
to a definite government."
Although he is "propounding but little more
towards regimentation than is already to be
found in the New Deal, we cannot help wonder
ing just how far Dr. Hopkins' admiration of
European systems, such as that of Italy's, might
lead him in the direction of fascism.
It is not that fascism is necessarily the most
harmful thing in the world. If it came to a
choice between chaos and fascism, the latter
would no doubt be highly preferable. . Still there
is no doubt that the college youth of today, the
Dartmouth student included, earnestly believes
that America can successfully compete with
other nations without casting aside the ideals
of freedom and liberty which form so strong a
part of our tradition.
Passing
The Buck
Editor, the Daily Tar Heel:
, "Passing the buck" seems to
be the order of the day !
Within this school year num
erous campus officials for one
reason or another, have resigned
their posts. This fact is to be
lamented. It is bad enough that
students who have been given
positions of responsibility and
who have accepted these duties
should take a lot of the honor
and glamor bf office, and then
when going becomes a bit rough,
to step aside for the others who
are willing to stick by their guns
through thick and thin. 'Tis bad
when individual students take
the rosy path. But when the
Student Council begins to fol
low suit, then the calibre of our
campus leaders certainly comes
into question.
For years the students of the
University .have prided them
selves that they had complete
charge of their own conduct
during examination and quiz
periods. It has almost become
an institutional tradition here
on the campus and among the
alumni! It has been marveled
at, commended, and followed in
not a few of the more liberal col
leges and universities through
out the country. It was some
thing to be proud of.
No longer shall this be true.
The members of the Student
Council have admitted defeat.
By a recent resolution adopted
at the last faculty meeting the
council members have turned
over to their professors a large
part of tle burden of seeing that
the honor system functions
efficiently. By their action, the
councilmen have started a move-
ment,which if it continues, will
result in the complete turnover
of the honor system into the
hands of the faculty. The ulti
mate outcome will inevitably be
the institution of the proctor
system a vintage of days long-
sought to be forgotten in the
minds of more liberal students
and faculty members.
The enforcement of the honor
system has been, and should al
ways remain entirely a student
function. The students voted it
upon themselves, and by that
method alone should it be taken
away from them. Whence comes
this authority for a weak and de
feated Student Council to pass
on rights of the student body
to the faculty? This act was be
yond the authority of the Stu
dent Council to make. It is a
concession with the ultra-con
servative element of the faculty,
which for too long has been try
ing to take over this authority
rightfully given and justly be
longing to the students, and to
the students alone. It'sh
weakness on the part of the Stu
dent Council.
If the honor system - is not
working properly, it is the duty
of the Student Council to call
this fact to the attention of the
students. ' They have time and
tfme again shown their willing
ness to co-operate. In fact mem
bers of the freshman class were
so willing that they would even
suspend an offender in their
midst at once. Certain such acts
cannot be pointed to as unwil
lingness on the part of the stu
dent body to co-operate.
The members of the freshman
class, who were about to suspend
one of their number, had the
right spirit exactly. It is to be
admitted that they did not have
the necessary authority to carry
out their good intentions. That
authority had been delegated to
a pussy-footing Student Coun
cil, a Council devoid of any
backbone sufficient to stand up
in support of a system which
they, by the mere fact that they
are students, and even stronger
by their acceptance of places on
the Council.have declared that
they would uphold.
The recently adopted resolu
tion should be repealed. If the
Student Council thinks the hon
or system is slipping, have the
president of the student body
call a mass meeting, present the
situation before them, and give
the students themselves a right
to. say whether or not they want
to relinquish their right to gov
ern themselves under the honor
system. If the meeting is called,
and given proper publicity, there
is little doubt but what the spirit
shown by the freshmen class
earlier in. the year will be in the
majority to demand the repeal of
the resolution. And in all prob
ability, to reprimand severely
the spineless Student Council for
passing the buck" to the fac
ulty. ' '
The Student Council in Parti-
cur, and the three, upper classes
m general, should hang their
heads in shame that it has fallen
to the lot of the freshman class
to show the way out by their de
termined spirit to see the honor
system enforced.

It would have been much better,
however, if someone else had
written it.
During the period when west

road camps that were moved fur

building of the road progressed.
And because of the character of
these railroad camps they were
spoken of as "Hell on Wheels."

Dr. Crittenden has received such

Prouty Wrifes Paper
On Chapel Hill Area
The brilliantly colored Paint
ed Desert of Arizona and the
beautiful Petrified Forest have
their counterpart here in North
Carolina in the Chapel Hill-Durham
area, points out Dr. W. F.
Prouty, head of the geology de
partment, in a paper he has re
cently completed on "North
Carolina's Painted Desert."
"We need not wait for the
coming of desert conditions to
enjoy this beautiful coloring,"
says Dr. Prouty. "Take a trip
any day between Chapel Hill,
Durham, and Raleigh. Wher
ever there are freshly-worked
road cuts, the colors are beauti
fully exposed, especially while
wet."
These highlv colored sand and
clay deposits were brought down
py numerous streams descend
ing from the western hirfilandi?,
he explains, and since much of
the sediment was deposited as
flood material the colors are ac
cordingly mixed and variegated.
