C, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1935 BUSISESS raoxi 4 J $6 NUMBER 183 MM to CAMPUS KEYBOARD Editor Advisers in the four Everett-plan dormitories next "WE NEED CJOOD MEN year will be chosen soon. It is -all-important that good men be -selected for these positions if -this plan is going to improve over its 1934-35 self. One of the main troubles with -the upperclassman adviser sys tem, has been the lack of time on the part of these advisers. They liave regular curriculum work to -do and not enough time to talk "with the freshmen, et al. Fur thermore, they have forgotten imost of their freshman trigo- znometry-and it's no fun learn ing the stuff over again just to ifind out the cosine of something :f or somebody. It would be ideal to have -enough money to award annual scholarships to graduate stu dents, who would give half-time to the job of freshman advising. Excellent men from all over the country could be attracted. But we haven't the money and our only compensation for the "work is a free room. Let's hope this is good enough to attract the best possible local talent into these strategic positions. "There is almost ATHLETIC INERTIA a perfect analogy between athletics .and life. The athletic field is purely a laboratory of character ouilding." So said Coach Bob Petzer in the current issue of Tar Heel Topics, which will find its way out into the homes of prospective students. Now what Coach Bob says is absolutely true, but it concerns only the man or woman after he or she is out on the field. But we hope the analogy does not fit them before they are participat ing, for the simple reason that so many of us are too lazy to engage in sports set up for our benefit, with the result that the analogy would make us all out to be a bunch of sluggards. Setting up an intramural pro gram is a ticklish job. Conces sions must be made to taste, de sire, ability, capacity, other pressing activities, etc. The toes of the professors must not be tread on, nor the heart of the student made to slow down to .a walk. After these things have been considered, however, you still have to make people participate. The horse has been led to water -and all that stuff, but often it looks like he's pooped out before lie gets around to drinking. Every day we get letters, scads of them, "WHEAT AND THE CHAFF from national anti-war organiza tions, quoting facts and figures .galore and asking for editorial help in fighting war. Students have been expressing themselves vigorously through out the nation as opposed to war. We've wondered through out the whole thing how much good it all will do ; but we've par ticipated, nevertheless, with the hope that something, however little, will definitely result which will minimize the imminence of (Continued' xn next page) A New Adventure In Art Fear . . . protest . . . resigna tion . . . understanding- these are the four stages embodied in Death Carol," the solo that Phoebe Barr will dance tonight in Memorial hall as part of the program her group of creative dancers will present.

Liberal Education More liberal education at the University of North Carolina, this opportunity to taste and pass personal judgment an an other fruit from the Muse's wondrous garden. Tonight's program, the first of its kind here since Nini Theilade's victorious advent Hamilton To Be Alumni Marshal At Commencement Celebrations MAGAZINE MAKES ENTRY TOMORROW Final Issue Has Almost Same Format; Lead Story on Life In Mill Village. The June and final issue of the Carolina Magazine will be re leased tomorrow. In format, the Magazine will be almost the same as the preced ing issue. The distinguishing features of the newest issue are more fiction and more humor. The feature article, entitled, "Lowest on God's Green Earth," is a picture of life in a cotton mill town by a student who has lived in various textile communi ties for more" than 20 years. Pete Ivey writes the feature short story. "Scientific Stub bornness" concerns the world's greatest sales register. Mixed Bag Other articles are: "Art for Dirt's Sake," by a student who formerly wrote for "Paree" and magazines of that type, giving the psychology back of the pulp paper sex magazines ; "In His Steps," by Jim Daniels an ar ticle about America's second best seller, which ' brought its author only $200 royalties and is practically unknown today; "We Must Burn Our Books," a satirical shot at the right-wingers by Milton Kalb; "Old Greek Custom," a defense of "Hell Week" by a freshman . who re cently went through it. Laundry Students may get their laun dry bundles at the Consoli dated Service Plants office, 132 E. Franklin. All refunds on laundry deposits may be obtained in the Y. M. C. A. building Wednesday morning. Checks may be cashed at the Book Exchange. The laundry department will also be open for a three-day service during Commencement week. Laundry will not be delivered at that time, how ever. " and passing, seems well-balanced, with three sops (for like ourselves, the more ignorant portion of the audience) in the form of comic and ballet num bers, Bill Miller's "Pigwiggin's Courtship, which was inter rupted Tuesday night when his gaudy trousers split; "Carnival," by Christine Maynard, Harry Coble and Miller; and "Banjo Song," done by Coble, Walter Terry, and Fred Howard to "Shortenin' Bread." Two of the most beautiful dances; we think, are Ora Mae Davis "Javanese Lament" and "Trope," based on an elabora tion of the medieval church ser vice in which four monks played the Easter story of the three Marys and the angel at the tomb of Christ. "Marseillaise" and "Congo," both performed by the entire group, massive, stirring, and highly imaginative. All this is what we think after attending the rehearsal. We be lieve the program tonight offers a fine opportunity to gain an in sight into creative dancing. The time is 8:30 p. m., and the admission price is 25 cents.

Applications for these ad viserships should be filed in writing at once in the office of the dean of students. Rejuvenation Debate Council Plans Big 1935-36 Program Arthur Henderson, Other Well Known Outside Speakers, May Be Brought to Chapel HilL FREE TRIPS TO EUROPE Stirred by popular campus enthusiasm in the last two de bates of the year, a rejuvenated Debate Council in session Tues day night laid out an ambitious program for the 1935-36 season and adopted policies calculated to bring debating again into the University's fold of pertinent activities. Further faculty-student de bates were approved, and sub jects of campus-wide interest were suggested : abolishing com prehensive examinations, law students' participating in extra curricular activities, etc. Durfee Moves The Council adopted Winthrop Durfee's motion to leaven the fare of debates on national and world problems with a sprink ling of humorous and serious debates on popular, state, and campus topics. Diversity of queries will be incorporated in to the Council's policy to relieve the monotony of a few stock subjects, such as munitions, so cialized medicine, and the New Deal. Straws in the undergraduate winds indicate an enthusiastic turnout for debating next fall, in anticipation of the European trip promised to three deserv ing University debaters. Right wing Stalwart Durfee will con duct three manoeuvers to clinch the expected interest: (1) speeches before freshmen assem bly in the fall; (2) letters dur ing the summer to incoming freshmen; (3) a section on de bating in the Freshman Hand book. Final affirmation of the ex pected European trip awaits the induction of the National Stu dent Federation of America's new president July 1, since that organization sponsors the trip, but it is believed that the in coming president will not alter the plans of Carolina Graduate John Lang, incumbent presi dent. Radio Debate Possibilities for the 1935-36 season speculated upon by the Council include a radio debate over station WPTF, Raleigh (such a match with the Univer sity of Virginia took place three years agd) ; and freshmen de bates, either campus or inter collegiate. Sponsoring more visiting speakers on the campus will be another extension of the Debate Council's policy.
