"TO CREATE A CAMPUS PERSONALITY" A JOURNAL OF THE ACTIVITIES OF CAROLINIANS - . ...... . Vf. Mml VOLUME XLHI CAMPUS KEYBOARD by the Editor This column and the writer are going to act as buffers for WE'RE HERE ithis newspaper. To begin with, -we'll hang but a red flag of warning. We have lots of ideas and intend to air them, to the end that we prove our point or are proved dumber than we thought we were. The editor has been the butt of a quantity of fanciful quips Telating to the 117 major chang es (no less) in the new Tar Heel. We beg to remind all that we have added five since that announcement, but the careful searcher will have a hard job finding them, and may never do so. No matter.' They're there. Bruce Old, XOUSY TECHNICIAN whose recent ar tide in the Caro lina Magazine on the engineer ing school situation was well re ceived, is not so highly regarded in the Raleigh unit, we presume. The Technician, Raleigh unit newspaper, tells us that the ar ticle was written "by one ap parently biased to the extent that he deliberately distorts facts so as to make it appear that the engineering school should really be moved to the Chapel Hill unit " "There's no use arguing seri ously with a child," the editorial goes on, "for doing y something about which he knows practical ly nothing." Instead, the Tech mician advises, the article should be "passed up lightly " Our opinion is that the State Collegians haven't any answers for Bruce's attack. If the child is really father of the man, we wouldn't blame Bruce for not claiming the Technician editor as a son, granting that Bruce is really a child and the Technician editor really a man. TheDurham Cham ber of Commerce, it CIVIC PRIDE is rumored, is doing a great job of tremendous civic import in working to postpone the Greyhound bus hearing and in planning a powerful attack against the granting to the Greyhounders of the Greens-boro-Raleigh-via-here route. We only know what every body says, but" if s logical to suppose that the Carolina Coach Company and the' Chamberites are working hand-in-hand to pre vent any alteration of the pres ent "via Durham" schedule. We hail the Chamberites as being men full of civic pride, but our love for the gentlemen and their work in this case ends there. We want the Greyhound ser vice and the Durham folks don't want us to have it. We bet that if we put the Chamber of Com merce in some of the Carolina Coach Company's hacks and transported them a couple of times back and forth! to Chapel Hill, they would, civic , pride or no civic pride, forget their du ties to the Bull City and hurried ly provide Greyhound kennels. BACKING CARROLL Our hats are off to Dean D. D. Car roll. As far as we can find out, he's the only mem ber of the faculty to side with the fraternities in the f reshmen-in-dormitory fight and he has conviction enough to believe that the semester system is bet ter than the quarter system at Chapel Hill. . SCHOOLS TO GET DAILY TAR HEEL NEWS BULLETINS Don McKee to Head Weekly Ser vice for 75 High and Preparatory Schools. SAUNDERS LENDS SUPPORT Next Tuesday afternoon 75 high and preparatory schools in and around North Carolina will receive "the first issue of the Daily Tar Heel News Service, edited by Don McKee, assistant editor of this newspaper. Every high school and prepa ratory institution which has a newspaper daily, weekly, or monthly will receive the week ly bulletins, which will tell what is happening in Chapel Hill, with special emphasis on alumni from the institutions receiving tne news letter. Craig to Assist McKee will have Newton Cra'ig, freshman, as his assis tant. These two have the task of compiling the news sheet, mimeographing it, and sending it to its destination. It is expected that at least 25 additional schools will be on the list next year, according to Me Kee. The . present list of 75 is quite incomplete. School Alumni In addition to the general campus news, which will include sports, activities, etc., there will be special items relating to par ticular school alumni, setting forth interesting accomplish ments of these alumni during their stay at Chapel Hill. The alumni office, under Edi tor Maryon Saunders, is co-op erating fully in the project, sup plying much information, cleri cal work, and equipment. Roy Armstrong, also connected with the alumni division, 'is lending valuable assistance to McKee on the first issue. DI-PHI FORMULATE BI-CAMERAL IDEA Joint Committee Makes Definite Plans for Establishing JLegis-lature-like Procedure. Moving swiftly, a joint Di-Phi committee last night took defi nite steps toward establishing a bi-cameral campus legislative body. In a short but active ses sion in . the Phi assembly hall the group proposed a joint ways and means committee which will meet weekly to select bills for discussion. Each week one bill will be discussed in the respec tive halls. Bills will formally originate on the floor of the two houses. Measures originating in the Phi assembly will be known as Phi bills," with a number sys tem similar to that in the state legislature. Di bills will be like wise designated. Path of Bill After action in one of the houses, the bill will be introduced by a member of the ways and means committee on his own floor. The first meeting of the committee will be held Thursday morning at 10 :30 in 116 Saun ders. Both societies will ratify the action taken last night ,at their meetings tonight. Present at the meeting last night were Mason Gibbes, Crist W. Blackwell, Charles Rawls, and Fred Eagles of the Di Sen ate; arid Wiley Parker, Jim Dan iel, and Stuart Rabb of the Phi Assembly. . CHAPEL HELL, N. C, Presidential Care Slides Upon Pool Rufus Adolphus, Better Known As "Jack," Unofficially "In." 'The outgoing Student Council took its last fling last night and voted two members as hold-over members for next year, subject to the approval of Rufus Adol phus "Jack" Pool's new council next week. Francis Fairley, new Univerr sity student assistant-to-the-as-sistant-contr oiler, was one of the holdover members who will be recommended to the green coun cilors, and Marvin Allen, sopho more two-miler on the track team, is the other. The official weight has fallen from the shoulders of Student W$Bkmm, Frank Ahrnv thy onto the careworn ones of Pool, who is "unoffi c i a 1 ly president" until his official in statement next Monday. The departing council also vot ed to let Pool make the new ap pointments "for the student ad visory committee, two of the members of which go out of of fice. One, Francis Fairley, is now an employee of the Uni versity, and the other, J. D. Winslow, - is graduating this spring. The only remaining member of the committee is Phil Ham mer, Tar Heel editor, who acted as secretary this year. ' TT Will Answer Unique Need, Yandell Says Bradshaw Installs 1935 Officers; Graham Present. Presenting the principal pur pose of the "Y" for the coming year in his inaugural address last night, President Billy Yan dell boldly , declared that no revolutionary change was advo cated but that "we hope to in corporate into our program, building on the experience of the past, an answer to the uni que needs of the campus." Dean Bradshaw presided over the combined "Y" cabinet meet ing and conducted the installa tion ceremony, which it is hoped will mark the long-awaited "new era" in Y. M. C. A. administra tion. President Graham, once head of the "Y," emphasized the fact that the special responsibility of the organization is to act as the spiritual dynamo of the University. M fir" j? LM Straw Ballots To Reflect Opinion On Semester, The Daily Tar Heel, in or der to sound out student opinion, will sponsor a straw-vote, begin ning next Tuesday morning, on two questions which are impor tant to every undergraduate. Believing that many students have something to say about many things, the editors of this newspaper intend to give them the opportunity of expression this year. The first step is the inauguration of a policy of straw-voting and student sur veying. . The two questions under con sideration for. the first poll are: the proposed' change in class- hours at the University, and the adoption of the semester system by the University administration.

In addition, there will be discus sions of how the plans work in other institutions, and a resume of trends of American campuses in both fields. Ballots will appear in the newspaper next Tuesday. Bal lot boxes will be placed at con venient situations on the cam pus. In addition to allowing for affirmative or negative opinions, the ballots will also contain vari ous questions which the stu dents may answer. Full results will be printed next Thursday or Friday, the balloting to last through Wednesday afternoon. Faculty May Act On New Class Extension Plan "Y" Plans May Alter Student-Faculty Day New Annual Holiday May Be Scheduled for Founders' Day. The Y. M. C. A. has recently begun to plan for next year's Student-Faculty Day, according to Bill Yandell, incoming presi dent Suggestions are being con sidered which will probably change the date to Founders' Day during the month of Octo ber. Yandell mentions the possi bility of a freshman Dads' Day to be held in collaboration with the Student-Faculty and Foun ders' Day. Were this to take ef fect, the Freshman Friendship Council would be instrumental in arranging, a program for the visiting fathers. "We will welcome all sug gestions from the campus," stated Yandell, "and I hope that student -opinion will be con structively critical so as to make for an even more successful day next fall." SELDEN TO STAGE STUDENTDRAMAS Six Productions Will Be Pre sented for Dogwood Festi val This Week-end. In their annual effort, usually characterized by badly-memorized lines and makeshift scen ery, the Carolina Playmakers will once more give an oppor tunity to the students of Pro fessor Samuel Selden's play-directing class to present their work publicly. Six or nine of the 11 plays un der rehearsal at the present time will be produced Thursday, Fri day, and Saturday. Included in the 11 plays are four comedies, five tragedies, a modern melo drama, and a 15th century Rus sian drama. Five New Playwrights V T fit i umy live oi tne plays are those of newcomers to the play- writing classes. The others are those which have been produced in the past, or have been written by authors who have already done creative work with the or ganization. Good Says Sec. Daniel In accordance with the usual Playmaker publicity, Secretary Ella Mae Daniel writes: "The plays this year are of unusual merit." v In the past, audiences at the production of the new Carolina plays (which include plays set in all parts of the world) have been unhurried to voice their approval. Conspicuous by their absence this year are plays of Son Paul Green and Loretto Carroll Bailey. , - Little Block Sin Dr. H. W. Crane started tell ing his psychology class about sin the other day, but he didn't get far before he struck a snag. "Such-and-such," he was saying, "is a mere pecadillo . . ." When the class began to look about as blank as classes can look, Dr. Crane hit upon "pecadillo" as the cause. "Mr. ," he said, "will you tell the class what 'pecadillo' means?" Mr. - would, but he couldn't. A silence followed. Finally a brave Con necticutt boy volunteered to try the definition. "Dr. Crane, I know , what a pickadilly is. It's a little colored baby. NUMBER 151 Within Week Plan Affords Choice Of Additional Cldsses Dr. Leon Wiley Introduces Pro vision to Broaden Under graduate Education. GRAHAM FAVORS IDEA A plan of class-extension, similar to set-ups in other lead ing coUeges and universities, will possibly be adopted by the University faculty within the next week or so. The idea, set forth by Dr. Leon Wiley and sponsored by this newspaper allows for a freedom of choice in selecting an additional class each day, such choice to be made according to each student's interest and bv the student. Outline of Plan Briefly, the plan is this: Every week professors and instructors submit to the depart mental heads a list of lectures which they will give during the week and which the believe will prove interesting to the stu dent body. The departmental heads revise the lists and turn them over to the Daily Tar Heel. Each day a bulletin will be run, announc ing the various lectures to be de livered that day, as well as other interesting programs. Not Allowed to Cut Classes A student, having a certain period free, can attend any class room lecture or program on the bulletin for that hour. If, in special, instances he sees a pro gram which would actually be more beneficial, he may skip his regularly assigned class. This, of course, is a personal matter and the student must be penal ized accordingly for a regular class absence. To Broaden Scope The philosophy of the plan, as set forth by leaders for its adop tion,, is to broaden the scope of undergraduate education by al lowing students to participate in classroom programs outside of (Continued on page two) FUND WILL HONOR GRAHAMFATHER Student Loan for Charlotte Vicinity to Be in Memory of Dr. Alexander Graham.
