John R. Tunis, nationally known sports writer, in an, ad dress Friday before the students at the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina in regular chapel assembly, stated that he hoped America would not participate in the next Olym pic games, "because," as he said, "I think they are a big com mercial racket and because there is precious little sports left in them." "Sports," said the speaker, "comes from an old French word meaning to amuse one's self," ancTirr this lii&thedescribed sports as games which interest those who can attend them with a spiritual quality and who have an amateur spirit Giving as evidence of the fact that Americans are swinging from attendance sports to games in , which they may themselves participate, the speaker mention ed the fact that twenty million ping pong bats were sold last year. " ' In the brief open forum fol lowing his talk, Tunis said that "American women have no more place in the Olympics than has a jew in Hitler's bathtub."

War to Support League Sanctions; Royle Chooses As Topic Student Life at Cambridge University "If the League ( of Nations fails it means war. England, supported by France and other League members, would go to war to support the sanctions," declared J. M. Alport, genial blond-haired English debater Monday night in a "parlor trick" speech at the informal re ception given the Cambridge ora tors at the Carolina Inn. The Englishman's parlor trick -was not aimed to provoke amuse ment, and contrasted sharply to the general tenor of the parly -which yas enlivened by the nearer-failing wit of Dr. W. A. 01 sen, master-of -ceremonies, by songs around the piano, and even a tap dance for the English- imens' benefit by Nan Norman. Seriousness Alport was speaking in all 'seriousness. "England," he went on, "is one .of the 'have' powers.

'.. v The Naiional Collegiate Athletic Association and the Amer ican Football Coaches' Association, both, of which Duke and Carolina are members, have taken definite stands outlawing such a procedure. ' j . . . The Southeastern Conference has a rule forbidding the prac tice; the Southern Conference has a sort of gentlemen's agree: ment outlawing the use of inovies for scouting purnoses; and no respectable collegiate institution goes in for such a practice. This is no sour grapes. In Sunday's , issue of the Daily Tar Heel, the editor took this post-game stand: "The Duke victory was the bitterest pill that Carolina has had to swallow for many years. But If we have to swallow pills, we are lacl that Duke is the one to' administer them. Their team was unbeatable and the spirit of, the student body was undeniably sportsmanlike and hole-hearted." . .. , ; r , That was sincere. We were ragged by, some members of the student body, but we had the same reply: we meant it. . So it is not sour grapes, when we register rightjul indigna- tioh at tactics which are ungehtlemanly and universally regard e& as illicit. Any; coach willtell you that slow-motion moving pictures tell the whole storyf If this were not. important, such organizations as the NCAA, foster-pajrent, of intercollegiate football, the AFCA, and virtually . eyery, other football - league in the nation would not have banned movies for scouting pur- There are two purposes for the expression-of our indignant opinion on the subject. The first is that these tactics are a slap in the face of those who like ourselves gave Duke credit for Winning a CLEAN game. In the second place, it might serve as an explanation of the 25-pint .disparity in the teams' Saturday strength. How we gained any first downs is still something of a mystery. - . 7 We need no further corroboration of evidence. Our sources are reliable. Our coaching staff knew that Duke had pictures, three weeks ago. They could have gone to the same measures. But they are gentlemen. - t i : . Alumni all over the state, upon hearing rumors of the Duke practice, have become somewhat4ncensed. It is not the defeat, dui inevay n came aooui. The game is over and we're satisfied that Duke won Saturday! They outplayed the Tar Heels. No wonder.

In the first place, we found out that only slightly over 16 per cent of the students enter ing the University graduate on scheduled In the second place, we found that about five per cent more students graduate a year late, making about one out of every five students entering graduating at all. The new curriculum bases its whole philosophy on a four-year schedule of which the first two years are standardized for all and the last two years offer spe cialization. Obviously it has any thing like efficient operation on ly on the one student out of five who completes his work. - In one sense, however, the cur riculum is a great improvement over the old set-lip even in light of the above figures. Half of our students .complete only two years. The new curriculum em phasizes . required studies for those two years and this means that the 50 per cent who drop out have advantage of what ever thought and preparation to has been put into this general two-year scheme. But it still seems a somewhat strange paradox that a state university whose duty is to the state and which "rises and falls with its public school system" should operate on a curriculum basis of four years when so many of its in-state students only last half of the required time. Fur thermore, it is well known that many of these students are go ing back into local , government and other county administrative positions with only two years of college and that two years was not designed for that pur pose. It is an historical fact that most of our local, govern ment officers are men. whose col lege careers were from one to two years in length. . Strictly speaking, of course, the new cur riculum has the right idea so far as an institution of "learning" is concerned. But as a "state" institution, it seems to us that many, many factors are over looked which the -state demands that its college men should have had the advantage of. Perhaps the new curriculum is an even tual trend in that direction. P. G. H. v.y - rr
