TTelegram says that, in her mind,
the college boys and girls
""aren't getting a fair break".
'Tor years," she writes,
""we've Tjeen accusing them of
-wasting their time and their
parents' money, , rah-rahing and
3etting. Now that large groups
of them are beginning to think
and talk seriously about such
momentous subjects as war and
3eace, they are either slapped
on the wrist by some college ad
ministrations or accused by
isome publicists of indulging in
""emotional sprees".
We agree with Miss Bromley.
:But she doesn't go far enough.
It has not only been our elders
who have tried to hush us up
when we try sincerely to express
ourselves, but also many among
lis, who hold that every thing
a collegian says is shrouded
'with juvenilism and immaturity.
This newspaper, for instance,
lias been severely criticized for
taking issue in any form. "It
should be just a news sheet,"
say the hard-rocks,. Our answer,
and that of an awakening Ameri
can youth, jis, that every time we
take issue we ARE making
news. Put that in your antiquat
ed boiler and smoke it while you
xest.
Another instance
where collegians
are. bearing the
SHOULDER
ARMS
irunt of administrative nega
tiveness is in the business of
anti-war strikes.
The United States Supreme
Court, in ruling adversely to the
two California students who ob
jected to R. 0. T. C. training,
conceded that the Constitution
gives individuals "the right to
entertain beliefs, to teach doc
trines and to adhere to principles
opposed to the theory of mili
tary training."
And college authorities are
""cracking down" on the anti-war
strikers, calling them sentiment
al and ignorant and putting it on
the basis that such sentimen
tality and ignorance are "poor
-weapons" with which to fight
Mars.
TTHFTTC CUrrent iSSUG
C; of the Literary
CAROLINA Bigestf giying us
"Varied Glimpses of the Colle
giate Mind," mentions how the
"'social trend of student thought"
lias crashed through at "esthetic
Carolina." Conservative Har
vard, pessimistic Columbia, and
quiet Stanford are also featured.
R. W. Madry, University News
Bureaucrat, sent in much of the
Information upon which the view
of Carolina was based. He
showed the trend in bull-ses
sions.
"Bull sessions," wrote Mr.
lladry, "used to go in this order
1, sports; 2, sex; 3, religion;
now they go 1, politics; 2,
sports; 3, sex.
We hesitantly disagree with
the latter. Sex still beats sports,
for all our intellectual gains, and
-politics should be "social organi
sation." Sports will be among
the first three forever. '

orientation activities next Sep
tember prompted President of

co-operate with orientation."
Annual Affair
With the backing of the co
eds assured, the club considered
the proposal of President Julien
Warren that "it's an annual af
fair for the University Club to
put on a smoker for the fresh
men." The detailed program for the
freshman smoker staged by the
University Club this fall was
presented and comments were
made on financing the affair.

ment that "the financial part is
pretty .hard to arrange," caused

Liberty League Head
Belays Daily Tar Heel
Durfee Accuses Paper of Under
mining Influence of League.
In a tempestous interview yes
terday, President Winthrop Dur
fee of the American Liberty
League, accused the Daily Tar
Heel of misrepresenting facts
and being a "Collegiate tabloid."
Speaking of the story in yes
terday's Daily Tar Heel on the
attendance of the League's meet
ing, he stated that it was a "coup
d'etat by radicals to,undermine
the influence of the Liberty
League."
Liberty Leaguer Durfee ex
plained away Wednesday night's
fiasco by saying that Kemp Lew
is, president of the Erwin Cotton
Mills, and well known alumnus,
had decided to accept the invita
tion to speak here next fall in
stead of Wednesday night.
To explain the fact that Dean
D. D. Carroll and Socialist Pro
fessor E. E. Ericson composed
the entire audience, Durfee said,
"It was a faculty meeting.1

P. U. BOARD SAYS
IT CAN'T FINANCE
NEWPUBLICATION
Freshmen Win Fight Not to Pay
Penalty for Late Payment
of Yackety Yack'Fee.
PRINTSHOP BOYS GET KEYS
Last hopes that the P. U.
Board would take over the finan
cial management of the proposed
Foreign Policy League publica
tion without a student vote fit
fully glimmered and died when
the board yesterday opined that
it was not empowered to take
such action. '
The freshman class, also won
its fight for the ten per cent re
duction in its Yackety Yack pay
ment because the star witness
for the board in its contention
that the class was adequately
apprised of the reduction dead
line, was discovered to have been
in error.
Invulnerable Case
As a result of the disintegra
tion of its previously invulner
able case, the Publications Union
boys decided that they would ac
cept 90 per cent of the original
figure, $135, plus 6 per cent in
terest from the date of the last
deadline to the time of final pay
ment. Auditor Sherrill appeared and
explained that his bonding and
the monthly statements which
the board had requested would
both become realities next year.
Evans and Moore
Bill Evans and Bob Moore of
the Orange Printshop were both
voted a publications key for
their excellent work on the Daily
Tar Heel in excess of the labor
which they are required to per
form. The proposed publication of
the Policy League is being
pushed by John Shultz and Joe
Barnett, new president of the
group.
Petition
If as many as 25 students de
sire, they may petition the presi
dent of the P. U. Board to call
a meeting of the Publications
Union (all students who receive
the four campus publications)
for the purpose of considering
the establishment of "the new
magazine.
If two-thirds of those present
agree, the question of the new
publication will be put to a stu
dent vote. If passed there, the
publication will be taken- over
entirely by the P. U, Board.

DELIVER DIPLOMAS V
Josephus Daniels, University
Alumnus and Ambassador to
Mexico, Also to Be Here.
SENIORS TO HEAR GRAHAM
Chapel Hill, seat of liberalism
in the South, will welcome one of
the" nation's foremost liberals
when Anna Eleanor Roosevelt,
first lady of the land, arrives to
speak at commencement exer
cises this June.
Mrs. Roosevelt expects to ar
rive on Tuesday, June 11, and
will deliver the commencement
address that night in Kenan sta
dium. It is. hoped that she will
visit a session of the Institute
of Government, which will be
held here at that time.
Trio
Strong friendships will be re
newed when Mrs. Roosevelt,
President Graham and Josephus
Daniels, ambassador to Mexico,
meet during commencement
week. Mrs. Roosevelt's accep
tance was largely secured
through the efforts of Graham
and Daniels, both of whom have
worked often with her in na
tional affairs.
Another relationship may be
found in the fact that President
Roosevelt was assistant secre
tary of the navy under Wilson's
administration, while Josephus
Daniels was his chief. This is
the first time in the history of
the University,, that a woman
has been asked to make the com
mencement address.
Daniels, an alumnus f Caro
lina and a member of the board
of trustees, will also be visiting
the campus during commence
ment week, after making the
commencement speech at Wake
Forest College.
The program of commence
ment day, Tuesday, will begin at
6 :30 p. m. in the stadium with a
concert by the University band.
This will be followed by the

his talk, stated that University
athletics had entered a new era
and marked the beginning as
the fall of 1934. He said that
the ideals of the Monogram
Club had done much to further
this era of winning teams.
Movies Good
He pointed out that the prin
ciples of healthy competition in
athletics are the same as those
upon which our present civiliza
tion rests. Nevertheless, lie
