PARAGRAPHICS
Aycock Debates Begin March 22."
Aycock bull-sessions go on forever.
But
The movement for 8 o'clock classes will pre
sumably be opposed chiefly by us 10 o'clock
scholars.
Tau Beta Pi is giving a slide-rule to fresh
men as a scholarship award. One of those gifts
you hold behind you and say, "Surprise, surprise!"
One Out of
80 Students
One of the saddest commentaries on the honor
system we have yet had the unpleasantness of
hearing concerns a psychology class conducted
by Dr. English' Bagby.
Naturally wishing to grade fairly, and real
izing that the difficultness of the subject and
the large class afforded an excellent opportunity
for cheating, Dr. Bagby called on the 80 odd stu
dents in one section to pledge themselves to up
hold the honor system during the examination.
Even then, however, he asked for only 20 stu
dents who would volunteer to do this. One re
ported out of the 20, or 80 odd, as you prefer.
One student out of that number was willing to
make a simple reaffirmation of the honor code
under which we live !
. When only one student of that number is will
ing to declare his intention of supporting the
honor system, it is the duty of the Student Coun
cil 'to make known to the class the importance
of their co-operation.
Pickle, Lettuce
And Onion Both
On the English department's comprehensive
examination for the winter quarter, 1935, there
occurs the following illuminating fragment:
". . . that no paper will be regarded as passing
if it fails to conform to a high standard of writ
ten English both as regards style, organization,
accuracy, and mechanics. . . ." (The italics are
ours.)
The Oxford dictionary gives the following def
inition of "both" : "The one and the other ; refer
ring to two specially designated persons or things,
implying that two and no: more are so desig
nated." - . '
Can it be the spring or the influence of Ger
trude Stein?
Remember
The Institute
After the spring holidays comes the Human
Relations Institute. The Institute, which comes
every four years, is held only once during the
average undergraduate's college career.
It is an opportunity the like of which does not
come to us often. Many national and distin
guished leaders will discuss their specialties and
these discussions will be open to everyone. The
schedule of ' the Institute has been published in
the Daily Tar Heel and all who are interested
would do well to keep this schedule in mind. It
should be unnecessary to ask the undergraduate
student body to participate and to take advan
tage of this opportunity which comes only once
every four years.
We're Against
Early Rising
At its last meeting'of the winter quarter yes
terday the Student Welfare Board discussed the
advisability of changing the hour for beginning
classes from 8:30 to 8 o'clock.
Waiving the number of men famous in his
tory who were late risers, we do adduce to the
argument against such a change that a goodly
percentage of those who have 8:30's at the pres
ent time cannot, somehow or other, be punctual.
Only gaze out over the campus at that' hour of
the morning and count the students scurrying
to class, if you would realize just how few are
on time. -
We hold no brief either for the number of stu
dents who are perpetually late or for those who
wish the change in hours. With Ben Franklin's
maxim pretty well discredited, and Frederick
the Great's barging out of bed at 3 o'clock in the
morning having contributed nothing to his good
humor or the peace of civilization, it would seem
that there is no moral advantage to getting up
any earlier than we do already.
As to any other advantage, such as eliminat
ing conflicts in schedule, we are disposed to re
gard it as petty and inconsequential. The real
issue is whether we shall get up any earlier in
the morning. In the interest of good will toward
men, and fair treatment of child labor, we vote
a ringing "nay." Too long already nave :3U s
corrupted and curdled our sweet dispositions. An
even more radical step in this direction, and
sleep-reddened eyes will stare glassily at our lec
turers. Quavering yawns will greet them while
they expound the wisdom of the ages. Pathetic
snores of protest will drone forth from the class
rooms of Murphey, Saunders, and Bingham.
In short; there are already too many things
that interfere with our college education.
Writer's
Convention
"Whereas, one out of 40 persons may sit down
and do so-called inspirational writing, the other
39 are not so fortunate. They find it impossible
to squeeze out paragraphs like they would tooth
paste," declares Professor Phillips Russell.
Recently elected director of the Writer's Con
ference, Professor Russell holds that writing
should be approached in the same manner as
carpentry work. There should be a solid foun
dation from which the writer must build.
With this in mind, the conference for writers
will be held for the first time this summer in
the heart of the mountains of North Carolina.
As well as the advantage of fellowship and
sharing ideas with each other, the main purpose
of the conference is for writers and would-be au
thors to become accustomed to a definite routine
of writing.
This conference is sponsored by the extension
division and Mr. Grumman is serving as secre
tary. There will be no credit given for the
course. In other words, it is more of an informal
gathering' than a course in writing.
There has, undoubtedly, been a definite need
tor sucn a venture. The .Breaaioai bcnool in
New England has had remarkable success along
this line but it is out of the reach of most south
ern students. Professor Russell, however, an
nounces that this conference will hardly exceed
$50 for each member for the two weeks August
3 to 17.
At the Capital
Ben Franklin
Should Benjamin Franklin, whose ideas 200
years ags made him the first "brain truster," go
back to the nation's capital today, he would more
than likely get a great shock. In the library
of Congress, hidden away in the rare book room,
he would find his "Poor Richard" sayings done
up in tooled leather, and highly valued. But if
this advocate of frugality and industry as
means of securing, individual and national wealth
were to step across the street to the capitol where
Congress is in session, he would hear long-winded
debates on "increased spending and the 30-hour
week as the safest and surest way" to put Amer
ica back on its financial feet.
In "Poor Richard" old Ben wrote, "When you
incline to have a new suit of clothes, look well
over the old ones, and see if you cannot shift
with them over another year, either by scouring,
mending, or even patching them if necessary.
Remember a patch on your coat and money in
your pocket is better and more creditable than
a writ on your back and no money to take it
off."
buch was Franklin's advice on how to beat
the hard times of the 1750's, and the Congress
men might do very well indeed to step across the
street and delve among the yellowed sheets of
Franklin's work. Then, they might well profit
should they return to the Capitol, scour, mend
and patch in an "effort to let the nation live with
in its income and operate on a balanced budget.
In so doing they would" take a huge load from the
backs of our future generations.
But, we hear from the nation's capital, most
Congressmen nowadays don't even own their
dress suits ! "

It's an ultra-short wave radio telephone antenna before
being raised above the dunes of Cape Cod.
For some years, Bell System engineers have been studying
ultra-short waves. They have developed automatic tran
mitters and receivers which maybe connected with regular
telephone lines at points far from central offices. They hope
such radio links will be useful in giving telephone service
to points aimcult to reach
by usual methods.
The installation on Cape
Cod which is now under
going service tests is just
one more example of Bell
System pioneering in the
public interest.
