THIS ISSUE: NEWS, HUDSON; NIGHT, SMITH
LET THERE
The Daily Tar Heel should not be an unpopular publication.
If we expect to get anywhere in our efforts to improve our Uni
versity community, we should work constructively rather than
destructively toward that end.
Our policies have been motivated with this in mind. Our files
are filled with data which has been collected by students so that
a constructive criticism backed by facts can be evolved and pre
sented. Ours has not been the idea to fight any- and everything
just because we have the best medium for doing so.
Nevertheless, we have received some adverse criticism. We have
been accused of being biased and unfair. We have been scored for
editorializing in news columns and picking out personalities.
, We ask this question: if we give praise to individuals for their
achievements, because we are proud of them as they work for our
University, have we not the same right to condemn them when
they are shirking their responsibilities, their loyalties and their
obligations ?
We believe there is no distinguishing between our policies of
helping the good and scorching the bad when the common end of
University improvement, University progress, is in mind. And
our path should not deviate because some of the things we have
to say are unpleasant and others pleasant. -
We are not trying to be "bold" or "courageous." If you think
it is fun to put in. a good one-third of your college life at hard work
just for the doubtful honor of being "fearless," as you may say,
then you are greatly mistaken. If there were no motivating force,
which in our case is love for the University and what it stands for,
then there would be no progress in our college journalism. And
we believe that with every fact we collect, with every improvement
we have a part in effecting, we are making progress. And so we
shall continue to progress.
If you want a non-policy, middle-of-the-road journal, you are
going to be disappointed and perhaps upset. We are no more
intelligent than you are, but any efforts which we make, whether
right or wrong in our own youthful blundering, must have the
effect of unloosing some intelligence on the campus that certain
things for our own undergraduate betterment may come about.
It is your paper and you have the right to help shape its policies.
But we ask that you give the same consideration to us that we do
to you. If we disagree, your point shall be represented. That is,
if you will let us know what your point is. Otherwise, we will try
to get a cross-section representation just as we have thus far: by
gathering together unofficial intelligentsia to help guide us in our
stands for University goodness.
GIVE IT TO
The fraternity scholastic averages for the winter quarter showed
quite a jump upwards, skipping up on Dr. Henry's scale over a
full one-fifth of a point, which is a considerable rise.
Very few houses had a lower rating during the winter quarter
than during the fall. What this may show regarding internal
efforts we do. not know; there are the commonplace reasons which
have been applied in past years, considering less outside attrac
tions to divert our minds from our books.
What is. interesting is to note that the winter quarter is our
shortest. And our grades consistently show an increase for most
fraternities. This might put skids under the notions pf some fac
ulty members that we are, cramming too much into too little space.
It looks like Carolina students can "take it." '

A WORD TO THE .
To the Editori
Daily Tar Heel:
I think you are due some
scathing criticism for the way
you have attacked certain per
sonalities on this campus and in
the town of Chapel Hill. Why
you have libeled yes, libeled
a Chapel Hill policeman and
have attacked a prominent ath
lete for an affair about which
you do not know the facts is be
yond all comprehension. Under
stand I am holding no brief for
either of the above-mentioned
parties, but are you -yourself
sure that you aren't doing all
this name-calling and personal
ity "plucking" just to convince
your readers (and possibly your
self) that ' you are "fearless,"
"independent," "courageous," or
some other adjective used for a
"relentless attacker and prober" ?
May I have your attention a
moment longer? Please stop
editorializing in your news col
umns. Outside of this fault and
the one mentioned in the above
paragraph I think you have im
proved the Daily Tar Heel
very much, except for a couple
of columns the silly twaddle of
Wolslagel and the still more in
ane drivel of Page.
Now how about investigating
(if you haven't already done so)
the Y. M. C. A., the Student Ad
visory Board, the Inter-frater
nity Council, and a few more or
ganizations which may be ful
filling their duties to the best of
their abilities but about which
the students in general know
very little.
Now may I submit a plan of
my own (?)? Why not begin
classes at 9 o'clock and have
chapel period at 8:30? This
seems to me to be much the more
plausible than holding the first
class at 8 or 8 :30, especially more
so than the former. Think of
the extra hour (or half -hour)
of sleep in the mornings. Every
one would be fresher and bright
er. Some may argue that stu
dents would just stay up that
much longer at night. For what ?

FROM THE
RIGHT
What with textile manufactu
rers protesting against the pror
cessing tax, Hoover "A modern
Paul Revere, awakening and
calling the country back to the
constitution,' ' a widespread dub
iousness of what President
Roosevelt intends to do with his
"four billion dollar campaign
fund," and industrial strikes ap
parently as unavoidable as ever,
it is becoming more strongly ob
vious each day that the New
Deal is not all that it was once
thought to be. Such an opin
ion, should it become universal,
can spell only doom for the al
ready toppling NRA.
The President is finding that
some of those around him. are
no longer willing to play the
part of docile yes-men as they
have in the past. The rejection
of Richberg's two-year NRA
continuance plea, and the pas
sage of the Patman bonus bill
in face vof the promised presi
dential veto may without any
great stretch of imagination, be
taken as evidence of a changing
attitude in the legislature.
And speaking of the Patman
bill, even Republicans are com
plimenting President Roosevelt
on the stand he has taken. In
hard times there is a marked ten
dency to judge everything from a
financial point of view. The
rejected Vinson bonus bill was
made on the grounds that it
would further unbalance the
budget to the extent of over two
billon dollars. The Patman bill
neatly refutes this argument by
authorizing the treasury to is
sue two billion dollars in nice
new printing press ' money.
That, they say, is dangerous
monetary experimentation - and
the greater of two evils.
The Senate has been accused
of indulging in "American poli
tics at its worst" for yielding to
the Legion lobby and 100,000
letters reputedly inspired by
Father Coughlin, and excusing
itself with a rationalization. By
passing the Patman bill, sena
tors have satisfied the Legion,
avoiding in that way the loss of
a large veteran vote. Yet, since
it ws apparent at the time that
President Roosevelt would veto
the bill, no real harm could come
from passing it despite consider
able public objection , and what
many senators themselves really
think of paying xthe bonus in
full some 10 years before 'it is
due.
Despite Virgil Lee, despite
the Liberty . Leaguedespite
everything and everybody, Caro
lina students show a decided
tendency to bear toward the left
at least when walking around
the board fences put up on the
lower campus recently. They
were conservative in one re
spect, though: they still insist
upon maintaining the oldcus
torn of walking on the grass.

POOR, MARTYRED FRIEND,
Mr. C. A. P. Your state univeiv
sity for the state is being taken
over by radicals and foreigners.
Poor C. A. P., to have had "your
education fostered here for six
years" and yet to remain .so un
enlightened. Poor old C. A. p.
with your nineteenth century
ideas of insularity. Poor old C.
A. P., compare your ideas with,
those of 60-year young Judge
Winston, who says, "The old idea,
of isolation is strangling the
south. It must' awaken, em
brace new ideas, new people."
THE BIG NAVY SO LONG
and arduously fought for by
Billie Ifearst (he is not yet sat
isfied, and wants a still bigger
one "to protect American shores,
from foreign invaders") is now
maneuvering some thousands of
miles away from our shores in
the Pacific perilously close to
Japan so close to Japan that if
any foreign fleet similarly ap
proached us our patriots would
be hollering -for the Marines,
National Guard and the D. A. R.
to chase the invaders, away. Se
riously, though, we are tempting
fate in giving the gold braid
men the chance to play around sa
far from home. What if one of
our battleships, anchored in a
Japanese port on a peaceable
mission, or for. repairs, were to
blow up? It would be another
"Remember the "Maine" inci
dent. We would be embroiled
in a war with a people against
whom we have absolutely no
quarrel. After all, it' is well
known that the military boys are
just itching to try out some of
their newly acquired toys and
tricks on targets slightly more
alive than are found on the tar
get field. It is impossible not to
be pessimistic when one realizes
that one man can start a war.
One man, placing one bomb, in
the boiler-room of one cruiser,
anchored in one Japanese port,
can precipitate a horrible con
flictwhat with the Hearst pa
pers and the other jingoistic
sheets ready to paint the Japs
as devourers of women and chil
dren, or in some other equally
stupid, way, hoodwink the gulli
ble public. Therefore, STU
DENTS, keep your eyes open
and REMEMBER "Remember
the Maine."
"BONUS BACKERS ARM FOR
Fight" is headline in Friday's'
paper. Truly, the bonus BACK
ERS arming is. a darned sight
more than many bonus SEEK
ERS did 20 years aero until they
were forced to by the threat of

OH FOR THE LIFE OF A
dance commiteeman. Honest,
uncorruptible boys that they are,
how it must pain them to have
so many students going around
the campus saying, "You want
a bid? Okay, $3.50. I'll have it
for you this afternoon, I'm get
