ft muip TO CREATE A CAMPUS personality" A JOURNAL OF THE ACTIVITIES OF CAROLINIANS lii f I 1 I I 11 "V " r TOLUME XLIII & the Editor An impor tant member of the faculty OFFICIAL JURISDICTION yesterday told his class that the -written constitution idea is con trary to the principles of our free and liberal student govern ment. Our student government is supposed to be one of these "of, Tyy, and for" governments and -we pride ourselves on the fact. 3ut if nobody knows where the authority rests,, whether stu dents or faculty members or ad jninistrative officers hold the :xems, this fact is of little value. There is confusion as to where one power ends and an other begins. "Of, by, and for" becomes "Here, there, and ev erywhere." If we realize that I rfcf n limifprl in pertain u.. -then a clear definition of the uy wits Ai-iii-oi.-..iuii, limitation would tend to increase -our efficiency of control in the .certain spheres of student au thority.

An organization such , as this, built on spirit and thriving on self-sacrifice, needs a steady bancj on the helm. And official duties are not the half of what is .actually demanded ot the leader. The hard part about the othce of incoming president of the University Club is that the new liead has to be inoculated with lar YlnsP nf "Fnr-t.TTnivpr- aity" spirit as well as acclimated a thousanrl r1pfil.

There is a certain sense of ac -complishment in standing up for a sew deal that most youth ean't resist But usually defending the old order offers none of the thrill or the excitement.

C., THURSDAY,. APRIL 25, 1935 "Absolute Bunk" -3 Us That's what Dean A. W. Hobbs (above) of the school, of liberal arts called the Daily Tar Heel's proposal for class-extension at a meeting of the liberal arts school yesterday. HOBBS SAYS PLAN 'ABSOLUTE BUNK' Liberal Arts Dean Offers Opposi tion to Class Extension Idea Before His Freshmen. The first public opposition to the proposed classextension plan of this newspaper was uttered yesterday as Dean A. W. Hobbs of the school of liberal arts de- fined the proposal as "absolute bunk." Speaking to students . of his school, Dean Hobbs rambled into the discussion of the new idea from an exposition of the new curriculum. The ex-Guilford baseball star left the impression that the plan would . lead stu- dents astray from the basic foundations of ' educational cur ricula. - The Sawdust Trail Class-extension, Dean : Hobbs believes, would lead to the adop- 1 1 t . - . non oi a Chautauqua plan ot edu- cation, with Billy Sunday in every classroom. At least, stu dents who heard the dean opin ed that his attitude was to be so interpreted. Dean Hobbs' stand is not un- llke tne opinion of several other (Continued on page four) students, Villagers As Action Begins In Bus Hearing The long awaited hearing of the petition by the Atlantic Greyhound Bus Line to secure a franchise to operate service be tween Greensboro and Raleigh, PoVTini Wot, in Polmo-T, - "7 ?" yesterday, with about 10 stu dents, several townspeople and faculty members present. ' Jack Pool, R. M. Grumman and Deans Bradshaw and Pier son presented the University's case while Mayor Foushee spoke for the town of Chapel Hill. A crowd of over 100 persons, rep- resenting officials of both com- 1 m ' t panies, lawyers and delegations from all along the line of the proposed route crowded .into the chamber to observe and to give evidence. The session is expected to last at least three more days and I. ... . JIT ? possibly longer, wim neanngs conducted both morning and ai- ternoon. At the. conclusion oi yesterday s hearing, Stanley Winbornechairman of the utili- us tuimiuooivn, ou. um. x,. ciais oi tne aronna nus wm- pany. Do You Want 8 O'clock Classes ? Interviewer Questions 28 Students; 12 Want Earlier Classes, Two are Satisfied; Co-eds Con sider Four Morning Classes Sufficient. - V:'"' ; o- - What do you think of having 8 o'clock classes next year? J)o you think the quarter system should be scrapped in favor of the semester plan? Fourteen out of 28 represen tative students opposed' anv change in the .' class hour, 12 favored beginning the school day at eight while two were so indifferent as to have no opin ion. . -- --' - -LI " V::' V ' Said Phi Assemblyman Billy Sea well, "I am against 8 o'clock classes, because they handicap self-help students who have early morning jobs." In .view of the fact .that the student will have to rise earlier and will still continue to go to - - bed late, Debater Durfee and Ex-Editor Pete Ivey objected on a possibility that the health of the early risers might be im paired. . Durfee even went so far as to say, "It will mean that the co eds will have to eat more carrots or use more lipstick to keep their beauty." The two co-eds who were in terviewed, Mary Pride Cruick shank and Frances Caffey, agreed on the question but did not give the same reason. They simply think that four class pe riods in the morning are enough. Speaking for those who live at a distance from the campus, Archie Henderson, Jr., objected on the grounds that "those who have a long way' to .walk will NOTICE Readers will find all an nouncements, formerly ap pearing in the daily calendar or as short squibs, in the col umn of "Bulletins" on the fourth page of this paper. Routine announcements, ad vance notices, and special notes will be run daily in ab breviated form. The editor will appreciate correction of errors which the readers might wish to make. Ask INew Line Pool, in his testimony, empha sized that the Carolina coaches are not being used now because of their run-down condition. Many conventions in the state are being turned away from Chapel Hill because of poor transportation. Bradshaw and Grumman made statements showing that an average of 12 national conventions are turned away from Chapel Hill an nually. : Greyhound President Among the officials of the Greyhound Lines present were: A. M. Hill, president of the en tire Greyhound system and chairman of the motor bus code authority, and J. L. Gilmer, vice president of the company. Three students and several faculty members were entertained at a luncheon by officials of the Greyhound Line. Points brought by members of other delegations were that the new line would connect prac tically all the major educational institutions in the state and would furnish one day service to Raleigh and return. Over 3,000 signatures were present ed by the Greyhound delegations. 14 Favor Present Class Hours, have difficulty in getting break fast early, enough to make class on time." Representing the - other side, Agnew Bahnson said, pulling his bicycle up to the curb for a second, "It's a good idea to have 8 o'clock classes. It is all a mak ter of forming the habit of wak ing a half an hour earlier. Be sides, the elimination of chapel period will mean a better utili zation of the morning hours." J. D. Winslow is also in favor of the change "because it will result in less congestion and overcrowding of class rooms." practically everyone ap proached, expressed the hope that the quarter system will not be abolished. Only three out of 26 were in favor of the semester plan. Two assumed an f erent attitude. The chief reasons given for a continuation of the present sys tem were that it allows one to enjoy holidays free from annoy ing thoughts of examinations, concentrates study, and allows frequent change and greater va riety of courses. Those who wanted a change to the semester system were Archie Henderson, President McKinnon of Ruffin and Bill Lamm, pride and joy of Wilson and Phi Gam. They thought extended study such as the semester plan would give one a more thorough mastery of each subject. 'Fish At Own Risk An effort to obtain daily weather reports for the Daily Tar Heel has been frustrated on several attempts. It was planned to have nightly service from the Weather Bu reau in Raleigh, but the Raleigh weatherites wait until the main office in Washington makes the forecast, the Washingtonians send it only through the Asso ciated Press, and the Associated Press costs lots of money, so we have no weather report. Furthermore, the service can not be obtained from neighbor ing dailies who get the AP ser vice because it's against the AP rules. Consequently, we apolo gize for not having the service and hope that the April showers are well prepared for by your own good judgment. CO-ED REPRESENTATIVES Misses Betty Durham, Jane Ross, Bobbie Moore, and Ruth Green were elected yesterday at a meeting of the Woman's Stu dent Council to represent the women students of the Univer sity at the North Carolina Stu dent Federation in Raleigh this week-end. Perkins to Speak at Duke Miss Frances Perkins, secre tary of labor in the Roosevelt cabinet, will speak to the Wom an's College at Duke Saturday on "Economic Prbblems Today."

Chi Omega Tea All non-sorority and "stray Greek" women on the campus are invited to be the guests of Chi ; Omega sorority at an in formal tea this afternoon from 4 until 6 o'clock.
