(TU jb TO CREATE A CAMPUS personality" "r& cr a journal op the activities of carolinians VOLUME XLIH EDITORIAL PHONE 4JS1 CHAPEL HILL, N. C, TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1935 BUSINESS PHOXE 4JS6 NUMBER 181 f f lj, DG(!)(IXD fry the Editor 4 HARMLESS 14 ' Us' 'BRICKBATS whom we talked -afterwards, quite a thrill of sat isfaction to be sitting on the sloping banks of the Forest "theatre and watching students xecreate a Shakespearian mas terpiece in fine style. f Being no art critic, we refer you to JV O. Bailey's review else where in this issue. But for the heer satisfaction of seeing f el How-students doing something difficult and doing it well, we take off our hats to, the Play :makers. Not even good Yackety Yacks, clever Buccaneers, illu ninating Magazines, thrilling athletic events, can touch "Ham let" as a student achievement. One thing that impressed us was the goodly number of stu dents in the audience. Evident ly all the brickbats which have ccessistently been thrown Play- :maker-wards for lo, these many ;years, didn't make everyone be Ilieve that Playmakerism is the Ilowest f orm of "wet." The Interfrater- TO THOSE RESERVING nity Council's move to provide -a scholarship for fraternity men is a decidedly good one. Being a Greek has precluded many excellent students from continuing work at the Univer sity, because of the difficulty in getting any financial aid on mer it through the regularly-administered channels of scholarships. There is no good reason for fraternity men being thus han dicapped. Their affiliation with -a fraternity means their desire to broaden their contacts and -get a little more than they other wise would out of their college ilife. Of course, promiscuous use of scholarship funds used to join ;a fraternity is entirely unfair, X)ut deserving a scholarship after -a few years in the fraternity is certainly not impossible and fre quently the case. Yesterday after noon the fresh man counsellors TRESHMAN TRACAS met to discuss freshman week next fall. It was a belated ses sion and evidences of 'lack of time" hindered progress consid erably. This year freshman week will be under the supervision and direction of the student govern ment, rather than the senior class. This point, we believe, is significant. Instead of having men chosen merely hecause they are seniors, the new plan allows the choice of men who are suited ljy virtue of participation in campus activities. Freshman week is, in the last analysis, the" most important three or "four days in a college man's career. At this time the freshman must be carefully in troduced into the wilds of col legedom, advised of the pitfalls, and encouraged in the right direction. We hope that durimj the sum mer somebody figures up a way to alleviate the chaos c-f this "week, so that out freshman coun sellors can do their jobs without liaving to iSirect ttraffic. House, Advertisers Kill Hopes For Summer Dean Vetoes Extra Fee On Summer Students National Advertisers Uninterest ed in Summer Paper; McKee, Page Were to Be Editors. MAYBE NEXT SUMMER Plans to issue the Daily Tar Heel during the forthcoming sessions of summer school this year were definitely quashed yesterday by Dean of Adminis tration R. B. House and the na tional advertisers of the daily paper. Figures on the costs of issu ing the paper once per week for the 12 weeks of summer school were worked out and presented to L. B. Rogerson. assistant controller, who in turn present ed them to "Colonel Bob." Both House and Dr. E. W. Knight, di rector of the summer school, had expressed appreciation of the need for a summer publication. Too Late Dean House's answer to the proposal was brief and to the point. He said simply that, al though the figures submitted were entirely reasonable, the proposition included a slight fee from each student at registra tion and, since the summer school fees had already been announced, they were not going to be changed. He added that, in order to save worry over this year, it would be better to wait and try to work out plans for issuing the paper summer after next. Until yesterday there was some hope that the summer pa per might be published without the student fee but a letter from one of the national advertising agencies advising that national advertisers were definitely not interested in summer school pa pers, wrecked all hope that the summer paper might be publish ed. The second plan had called for the paper to be supported by voluntary subscriptions and lo cal and national advertising. It was not thought advisable to at tempt to publish it without a large amount of national ads and all plans have now been called off. The paper would have been edited by Bob Page and Don Mc Kee. The first issue of the Daily Tar Heel next year will appear Saturday morning, September 21.

"Dormitories Must Improve 100 Per Cent In Four Years," Says Bradshaw, Giving Plans No Security Says Graham To Freshmen! Dr. Frank Suggests Progressive Social Legislation as Solu tion to Depression Evils. "The depression has revealed that in America we don't have security," President Graham told the freshmen yesterday in explaining -the social security bill now before the United States Senate, which is an attempt to make' secure the position of the worker. The community can no longer grapple with present day eco nomic problems brought about by the rise of a highly indus tralized and interdependent civ ilization, and these problems will have to be met through some form of social control teh &l the bill now b$fF engress, in dicated the president. " ' - . ; Insurance rr Society, Gnhm declared, should lend the unemployed a hand, by providing unemploy ment insurance which will serve as a cushion under the depres sion and make the workers' po sition secure. The security bill recognizes and suggests unem ployment insurance to which both employee and employer will contribute. Each state is to be left free to set up its own stand ard of administering the insur ance for the unemployed. Pensioning for the aged, aid for mothers and orphaned chil dren fall within the scope of the bill which is being sponsored by a new pioneering group who are trying to eliminate despair, child sweat-shops, and unem ployment from a land of youth and opportunity, and to bring order to a confused economic (Continued' on page Jour) PHI TO CELEBRATE, SELECT OFFICERS Durfee May Run for Speaker; Members to Have Free Show. Phi Assembly members will enjoy a varied program during and after their meeeting at 9 o'clock tonight with the election of officers and a social followed by a free show scheduled. It is rumored that American Liberty Leaguer W. C. Durfee, who last week prematurely tried to put through a personal ticket, including himself as speaker, will seek office again. Last week's election, to Durfee's ap parent chagrin, failed to take form, since it was definitely proved that the election would be held tonight. Durfee had sought to catch the other candi dates off guard by printing his party tickets and making an ef fort to push through the elec tion. Di bill No. 4, Resolved, that death by the lethal gas chamber be the only capital punishment in North Carolina, will be dis cussed.

The free show will terminate the activi ties of the assembly on the cam pus for the spring quarter. All Dormitory Offices Will Be Consolidated Single Dormitory Manager to Take Over Duties Performed Now by Several Officials. ELLIS GETS NEW OFFICE "Our dormitories must be im proved by 100 in the next four years," Dean Francis F. Bradshaw told newly-installed dormitory officers as they met last night in Graham Memorial for the .last time this year. The dean of students outlined some of the extensive plans now being formulated by the admin istration and the . dormitory council to bring about this great change in dormitory life.

Two of the dormitories in this quadrangle will be con fined to freshmen while the other two will contain students. of all classes. It was emphasized that neith er the dormitory manager nor the student advisers will be stu dent government officials. Their duties will be merely to help and advise dormitory residents.

He asked their support in a plan to suppress misconduct and improve dormi tory life.
