TO CREATE A CAMPUS PERSONALITY" A JOURNAL OF THE ACTIVITIES OF CAROLINIANS VOLUME XLIII EDITORIAL PHONE 43S1 CHAPEL HILL, N. C. SUNDAY, MAY 26, 1935 BUSINESS raoxs 4U6 NUMBER 180 SXSXSX: 000O000000 6lf Editor CLOSED Newspaper reports SHOPS Pnases ne Queen City Print ing Company strike seem to in dicate that the affair was per petrated, not because of long lours and low wages as first was Teported, but because the union xnen demanded a closed shop and for no other reason. We notice an item telling how iour union strikers were con evicted by the court, after a trial, :for breaking in and beating the rtar out of two non-union men, "who had refused to walk out. "This shouldn't be labor's idea Uiow to obtain best working con ations, but it apparently is. We're not competent to judge :the merits of a closed shop or a mnion, as such, but it is only too apparent that a closed shop in tsuch a business as annual print- iing is liable to result in serious complications. And even with out a closed shop, when the union is as strong as the Typo graphical, Bookbinders and .Pressmen's union, a strike rthrows monkey-wrenches all over -he place. Workers have the fight to get ifair treatment, but when they -tie up valuable contracts for no mother reason than to effect a closed shop with no apparent advantages in this case, then, uninformed as we are, we won der as to the fairness of labor. X1BRARY 'A study of the com- BUDGET '.W b0 penditures of col lege libraries throughout the country shows that North Caro lina stands at the bottom of the 3ist of 31 ranking institutions. Our library, termed one of -the South's best, is doing a mag nificent work with cramped budget, just as other University departments are. For instance, some $10,000 has been saved on some periodicals through an ex change plan with other libraries. And in other fields, too, the library is doing a great job of rgetting the most out of its funds .and personnel. There's " no sense in crying about not having enough money" -to keep the beautiful library up -to its best.; The alumni can help ssome, but f or the rest, we'll have -to make the best of what we liave, which is adequate if not jecord-breaking. We were serious when we mention- - ed a boycott of "WE WANT IT CLEAN Ixxarding houses which fail to maintain a certain health stand ard. First, of course, we have -to set a health standard. We can't take the state stand ard, because local houses already are up to that and the results uren't at all satisfactory. If you -want to find out, just go behind the dirty swinging doors of some eating places and you'll get an eye and nose full. The Student Advisory Com mittee is setting out to do some thing about it. We'd recom mend another group to help in -the work. We may be paying little for our board, but, by gosh, Tve want sanitary precautions if quality can't be maintained.

Ericson Will Fulfil Fanciful Bargain By Teaching In China Agreement Made in Jest to Be Carried Out When E. E. Ericson and m Chinese Scholar Exchange Positions for One Year; Chang Will Lecture Here on Chinese Life and Culture. When I go to China in Au-! gust to teach there for a year, I shall be fulfilling a bargain that I made half in jest with a Chinese friend back in 1926," said Dr. E. E. Ericson yester day to an interviewer of" the Daily Tar Heel. ! Dr. Ericson pointed out by way of explanation that the man with whom he made this bargain was Dr. Yuang Zang Change the Chinese scholar who will teach in the University - while Dr. Ericson is in the Orient. i Friendly Exchange It was at Johns Hopkins Uni versity, where they were study ing for their Ph.D.'s, that Eric son and Chang met and became friends. Each man was inter ested in the culture of the oth er's country, and out of this in terest grew the then apparently fanciful agreement to exchange: jobs if the opportunity ever came, so that each might have a better chance to study the; other's problems. "The opportunity came last year," explained Dr. Ericson, "and I took it eagerly, for I am anxious to see China first-hand and to compare their way of life with our own. In general I feel that such exchanges make for mutual understanding between Seniors To Become Alumni Prior To Actual Graduation Seniors at this commence ment will become alumni before they actually graduate when they are officially installed as, members of the Alumni Asso ciation at the alumni luncheon on Monday noon, June 10. This was announced from the alumni office yesterday by Spike Saunders, who explained that, since alumni are- visiting the campus this June in reunion groups of college generations, it is desirable to have this senior class be installed to complete the generation of graduates running from '32 through '35. Traditional Regalia The class of '35 will wear the traditional caps and gowns dur ing three occasions, but in all probability the great majority of seniors will be donning their regalia without the faintest knowledge of its origin. During the medieval age caps, gowns, and hoods were worn BAND SERENADES IN OPEN AIR TODAY Program to Be Presented at 5 O'clock Near Davie Poplar. Director Earl Slocum will lead the University band through its second open air concert this afternoon at 5 o'clock in the shadow of famous Davie Poplar. The program will feature the solo trumpet of C. C Martin, who will play "In Flamatus," from "Stabalt Mater,", by Rossi ni. Other numbers to be offer ed by the band are: Dunlap Commandery March, Hall; American Rhapsody "Cabins," Gillette; Albanian March, Hall; "Sunday Morning at Glion," Bendel; "Atlantis Suite," Safre nek; "Stars and Stripes For ever," Sousa; "Hark the Sound." In case of inclement weather the program will be given in Hill Music hall. nations." "Foreign Language" Here Dr. Ericson teaches English and naturally is a mem ber of the English department. In China he will continue to teach English. However, in North Central University (a Chinese "state university") , he will be a member of the foreign language department. Except for this paradoxical shift in de partments, he will have much the same professorial status there as here, teaching practi cally the same courses as he does at present. All instruction will be in English, since the Chinese enrolled will have had six years of English in the middle schools. Outside of class Dr. Ericson will deliver a series of lectures on American life. Here, Dr. Chang will speak, to various groups on topics such as Chinese-American relations and Chinese social and cultural life. According to Dr. Ericson, Dr. Chang, like many Orientals, is a man of deep philosophic mind and keen social insight. At Hop kins he specialized in eighteenth century literature. He is the author of two studies : "The Jew in English Literature" and "Ori ental Influence on English Lit erature." merely as forms of every day clothing by clerics in the univer sities. Caps were invented sim ply as a protection against cold church interiors, while hooded capes were also needed for warmth. These forms of col lege clothing have simply been held over from the middle ages to signify academic standing. Colorful Professors Professors will blossom forth in many various colors of cloth in the hoods hanging over their backs. The color of the hood's trimming indicates the degree of the wearer, while the color of the lining shows the university at which the degree was con ferred. Arts and letters are designated by white, laws by purple, and philosophy by blue. Some unfortunate colleges in the United States still conform to the custom of requiring that professors and students wear (Ctntizaed en page fvwr) Authorities May .Remove Pay-Phones New Dorms It was announced from the office of the University cashier yesterday that the Battle-Vance-Pettigrew group of dor mitories will be open to men students next year. The busi ness office will hold these dor mitories open for reservation to those now residing there through tomorrow, after which time they will be thrown open to any applicants.

It will be backed by a $25,000 trust fund. Millis was graduated from McCallie in 1934. While there he was one of the most popular members of his class, quartermaster-lieutenant in the McCal lie battalion, and manager of the football team. Average scholarship, good character, and financial need are the requirements for the schol arship which Mr. and Mrs. Mil lis of High Point, have estab lished. The award will be made each year to a student who has completed all but the' final two years of his preparatory school work. , Social Scientists Begin Meet Here Tomorrow J. E. Hillman Will Preside at Three-Day Session. Four state committees on so cial science will convene in Chapel Hill tomorrow for a con ference which will last through Wednesday. The conference will draw school teachers and college pro fessors from all over the state, and it is being set up with the co-operation of the University class extension division. J. E.

From Campus Cite Continued Robbery, Wanton Destruction Of Money Boxes Bennett Says Telephones Wrill Be Taken Out Immediately If Condition Continues, THIEVES GET MUCH LOOT Unless the theft and destruc tion of the iron pay boxes on telephones in the dormitories, fraternities, and other public buildings is stopped the Chapel Hill Telephone Company threat ens to deprive the University of public telephone service. This ultimatum came after the important pay telephone in the Y. M. C. A. and Graham Me morial were stolen several days ago. Approximately 10 of these pay boxes have been destroyed during the past year, causing great damage to the telephone in most cases. Five in Month Five of these thefts have oc curred during last month, the authorities stated. This repre sents a great loss as each of the boxes costs about $15 and has contained from $15 to $20 in telephone charges when they were pilfered. The affair has been turned over to the police but no arrests had been made up until last night. The authorities suspect several boys who are not in school at this time but who live in town and -have an intimate knowledge of the more lucrative pay boxes. Carefully Planned" In each instance, the boxes have been taken the day before the scheduled time for the col lection of the charges by the telephone officials, indicating that the thefts are carefully planned and executed by persons familiar with the University. "The desire of the telephone company is to increase the serv ice, but if the present situation continues to exist, the public telephones will have to be taken out," J. S. Bennett of the Con solidated Service Plants, said yesterday in an appeal to stu dents to look after the telephones (Continued on page three) new dorm heads tobejma Officials for Coming Year Will Be Inducted Into Office Tomorrow Night. .

Keys will also be awarded to all dor mitory officers who have not yet received theirs, . i - i
