THIS ISSUE: NEWS, HUDSON; NIGHT, KAHN
CONSOLIDATED SERVICE
We received a report yesterday
of the Student Advisory Committee which have already been put
into effect by the University administration.
Students will not realize at the outset how these changes affect
them, but sooner or later J the increased efficiency will manifest
itself in several respects.
In the Book Exchange, several innovations have appeared. In
response to the recommendation that a more accurate and avail
able price system on retail goods be set up, the administration has
ordered all articles priced and placed the system under the direction
of the purchasing department.
Periodic sales of old and obsolescent merchandise has already
begun. There should be some saving here.
' ; Regular and more frequent-inventories have been ordered, so
that quarterly checks are made. And rehabilitation of the store
rooms has already, been effected or is in the process of being
carried out.
v.- In the dormitories and buildings department, other recommen
dations have been adopted. The order for complete screening of
all dormitory windows was issued April 19 and the work will begin
shortly. Bronze screens with wooden frames will be installed.
At the laundry increased efficiency is noted, with a new stu
dent claim agent in the -person of footballman Babe Daniel and
with the added services of the new student assistant. Physical
improvements, the darning machine, and the new laundry-bundle
downtown office are other effects of the business administration's
new arid vigorous progressivism.
The report on other divisions of the service plants will reach
us tomorrow. It looks like the students are at last being heard
when it comes to University business connections.
GIVING YOU A RING
Jake Snyder, brawny fellow and member of the senior ring com
mittee, gave us some interesting facts yesterday about senior
rings in the past present, and future. '
Only 212, members of the combined classes of 1932, '33, '34, and
the incumbent graduating group have purchased official class
rings. This, according to Snyder, averages to the "insignificant
sum of 50 rings per graduating class or one ring wearer for every
eight graduates in the past four years'
Far be is from us to add "Buy Senior Rings" to our growing list
of "things to do." But let us present three principal reasons which
our local expert gives for the paucity of jewelry-wearers on the
campus :
The restrictive cost of .the rings, which at present is over $24.00.
Lack of information 'as to where to purchase rings and whom
to see about them. ? , ;V'.
Lack of sentimentality on the part of would-be graduates.
We understand that the committee is working to procure a con
tract which would make the rings available to everyone. More
, power to them. f '
CHAPEL HILL CRUSADE
Since the first, issue we have
this year."'
One is the objective to make
boarding houses and eating places, so that we may expose dirt
where it is found and give credit to those who believe in protecting
their boarders' health.
Another is an analysis of comprehensive examinations as a
practicable and desirable form of educational study. A" survey of
other schools, a poll of students, and a few ideas of our own ought
to make some kind of argument.
In the meantime, we are not proposing to slow down on any
thing else. We're just rallying our forces for a few drives down
the field. ' ' v

our policies will begin our official

PIGS have WINGS
BY MILTON KALB
'The time has come' the Walrus said,
'To talk of many things: '
Of shoes and ships and sealing
wax " Of cabbages and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings.'
PIGS HAVE WINGS? OF
course they do. All one has to
do is hear any munitions maker
defend his smelly transactions
on the basis of "patriotism," or
a crooked banker remind the in
vestigators of the damage THEY
may do to the depositors, or Wil
liam Randolph Hearst lead a cru
sade for clean movies, for the
most simple-minded to see the
truth in this seeming paradox.
I AM GETTING SICK AND
tired of hearing the unmitigated
baloney of "the urge to fight is
fundamental in man and as long
as human nature is what it is"
type of pro-war argument. In
the past year or so I have heard
quite a few people who would
ordinarily be suspected of being
somewhat human saying, "What
this country needs is a GOOD
war it would stimulate busi
ness and would get rid of a lot
of the unemployed who are such
a burden on the taxpayer." Yes,
as long as human ( ?)! nature re
mains as piggish and unhuman
as this shows it to be, war is in
evitable. It is not the urge to
fight that makes war inevitable
because most of us are rank
cowards it is the urge to pack
our pockets with more dollars,
pounds, marks, francs, or what
have you.
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT EVER-
ett students make good grades
because, rather than go out, they
remain diligently in their rooms
at night in the hope that they
may be rewarded by a glimpse
of leg 4 from the Graham peep
show across the way.
TO THOSE IDEALISTS WHO
still believe in the integrity of
scholarship the following is of
fered. An instructor who is
noted for his interesting lectures
was paid an "unofficial" visit by
a committee of his colleagues.
They cautioned him not to spend
so much time preparing for his
classes inasmuch as advance
ment in the "profession" is not
dependent on good teaching, but
merely on so-called scholarly re
search. Of course, their advice
came from the best of intentions
they wanted to see the hard
working young man get ahead,
but toward the close of their
visit they inadvertently let slip
that his diligence in making his
classes interesting was hurting
them, because he was setting a
standard of splendid teaching

EARTH-QUAKES
By John Schulz ; ...
This business of acting as the
Daily Tar Heel's only contact
with the wide, wooly, and war
like world is a bit overwhelming
to say the least. ' However, a
brief resume of recent doings
among the Europeans might help
as a warming-up exercise. ;
Handsome Adolf, Austria's
gift to the Germans, has been
acting as the whiskey-sour in the
European tea party. For no
sooner had the old ladies of old
Europe begun to rest easily af
ter the Saar crisis arid to sip
their tea to the tune of such
scandal as whether or not the
Prince of : So-and-So should
ought to have married the coal
miner's daughter no sooner had
all of this happenedthan Adolf
upset the ash can almost by
breathing on it. ' ; '
One quiet day in iMarch he
announced to all-whom-it-may-concern
that his private chem
ists had made a careful analy
sis of the paper upon which the
Treaty of Versailles was print
ed and that, after careful consid
eration, he, ; Adolf (Napoleon)
Hitler was willing to certify per
sonally to the world that it was
not fit even for the wasie-bas-ket.
He also announced the for
mation of a German conscrip
tion army which would make
Frederick the Great beam with
just pride. This came March
16.
The natural result in Rome,
London, Paris, and Moscow was
confusion and consternation.
Britain endeavored to pour oil
on troubled waters by sending
Sir John Simon and Captain
Anthony Eden to confer with the
statesmen of most of Europe.
The really satisfying remark
which they received from Adolf
was that he would be pretty, well
content once the pre-war terri
tories and colonies were return
ed to Germany.
On April 11 the former Allies
team went into a huddle at
Stresa, Italy, with triple-threat
Benito (he can threaten war,
peace, or the opposition) calling
signals. They finally decided to
stick together in condemning
the German action and started
the game off with a forward
pass play to the League of Na
tions. The Couicil of that
body, in a statement issued
April 17, solemnly made ' the
Reich's uni-lateral t r e a t y
breaking trick play illegal by a
vote of 13 to 0, only little Den
mark refusing to vote.
Last Saturday, April 20, was
Adolf's birthday. His ever-loving
countrymen presented him
with 41 fighting planes, and he
in turn presented the members
of the League Council with 14
(one for each member) notes of
protest. The text of his note
was simple: he merely opposed
in a "most resolute manner" the
council's condemnation and went
on to explain that not one of the
nations involved was in position
to judge Germany on a matter
of morals. He did not, however,
fail to leave himself open for
further negotiations.
And such was the situation in
Europe when the ' Formosans
(mostly Chinese although Japan
owns the island) decided to turn
attention their way by staging
an earthquake on Easter Sun
day. There was a loss of over
3,000 lives in the two provinces
which were devastated by the
shock. Army units distributed
rations and joined the gendar
merie in preventing looting.
War still blazes in the Chaco.
If, one can believe either side, the
darn thing is about over. Just
who is winning is a little more
difficult to decide. It seems to
depend largely upon which army
gets its packet of, tall stories to
the newspaper men first The
Bolivians have been working
faster this week.
Leaving Wars, threats of
wars, and earthquakes aside for
a while, let's take time out to
congratulate the Pan-American
Airways upon the successful
non-stunt flight of their Clipper
from Alameda, California,, to
Honolulu and back. The perfor
mance was so outstanding that it
is said to have justified the start
of a regular schedule . . . . It
won't be long before we're dash
ing over to Pearl Harbor for our
nightly pineapple juice. :

AGAINST SEMESTERS
To the Editor,
Daily Tar Heel: .
In order to keep human inter
ests stimulated, a system" must
be maintained which varies
from the monotonous humdrum
of scholastical day-after-day rep
etition of scheduled work.. In
the semester system, we would
have a longer time in which to
toil upon, a larger number of
studies. This continuous sched
ule, lasting for half a school
term, would soon begin to bore
us by its repetition of daily du
ties. ;
Insanity is of ten. caused by
lack of variety in one's work.
However, I do not think Chapel
Hill contains any boys or girls
who are studious enough to go to
that extreme. But the point I
wish to make is clear that the
quarter system we have now is
more suitable for a better educa
tion and varies more from mono
tone than would the semester
system.
As it is now, our interests are
devoted to a relatively small
number of studies at one time.
By the time our interest has
been exhausted in one subject,
we are ready to pass to another ;
or if we are not interested in
some subject, we do not have to
endure, it for so long a time.
Human nature loves changes in
routine of activities, and de
mands it.
We now have more time for
social activities than the semes
ter system would allow. Most of
our afternoons are free from
scholastic duties, and, after all,
an educated man is one who has
wisdom in a large variety of
fields, of which a classroom pre
sents a minority.
So let us be original. We do
not have to follow the semester
system just because other
schools have not waked up to the
advantages in the quarter sys
tem. Great things cannot be ac
complished without some origi
nality. The trouble is "We have a
good thing and don't realize it."
