The results of the questionnaire will be in the hands of the com mittee by the end of the week. They should furnish as much factu al matter for inquiry into comprehensive abolishment as the fac ulty committee could desire. AH we ask is that competent judges consider the facts as they will be compiled. We favor abolition of comprehensives, but we are willing to let the facts, as interpreted, speak for themselves. But let the joint committee give us the answer, and logical reasons for that answer. FEBRUARY 13 Stu- THE COLUMNS ARE YOURS In the course of prosecuting' on the basis of policies set forth in the interests of the student body, a campus newspaper is very likely to step on many toes and do irreparable damage to its own daily advertising schedules. Without going into a lengthy discussion justifying the cause of a free press, unentangled and unencumbered in the pursuit of its ideas and ideals, we can only say that we are considering on this campus the best interests of those who compose the student body, that the butts for any and all so-called editorial attacks have only to present their side in any issue for the student body to judge, and that no policies of this newspaper are directed arbitrarily without as full a consideration of the subject as we can make. The reason for this editorial is that many persons whose toes have been stepped upon have done a wondrous bit of crying this year and we want to tell them that the best way to retaliate against us, if they are crying for that reason, is to merely ask' for the use of our columns. And they shall be gladly given. "Why did you come to North faculty advisory committee sug- Carolina to school?" queried Dr. gested by the student leaders Meyer. and consisting of Dr. W. deB.

But to present a more accu rate description of the way John Q. spends his six spare hours a day, let me quote from "Under graduate: A Case Study" by Porter Butts in the New York Times Magazine of January 12. "There is almost an hour of John Qs day in which no en terprise, either physical or men tal, can be discerned, and he frankly admits it. No single way of spending time - absorbs his leisure hours. He sits on the porch with his room-mate, catches up a little on sleep, or wanders about the house ex changing the news of the day. At some point in this community loafing, usually at midevening, an old-fashioned "bull session," as it is still called, gets under way. Any number of subjects follow each other through the aimless trend of the conversa tion class assignments, instruc tors, dates, scandals, sports, "life" and even current social and economic problems have their innings ; rarely is there a session that does not touch on at least the periphery of sex in terests. It is hard to quit, and when John Q. checks up on his contributions to the house dis cussions for the week, more than five hours are accounted for." He can slightly play a musi cal instrument, but usually does not in preference for the radio, occasionally has a glass of beer with his friends, sometimes goes to dances or on a picnic, plays cards as his favorite game, and leads a life of passive ease in his "off" hours. As for athletics, he is one of the great army of lookers-on in spite of the added expense, but he will at times join his friends in some form of physical recre ation requiring neither skill nor money. His movie-going amounts (Continued on last page QUESTION What happens on dent-Faculty Day? ANSWER All classes and studies are forgotten on Student Faculty Day as pedagogues and tyros unite to become acquainted with each other and their University. For mal meetings of teacher and scholar in the classroom give way to informal chats across the lunch and dinner table. A colorful popular convocation in the morning replaces the required fresh man assembly. The campus cosmopolis mixes itself up like churned butter as fraternity men drink the punch served in the dormitory open-house programs, and dormitorites lounge in the soft sofas of the Greeks. Even the co-eds entertain ... All day visitors and cam pusites file to and fro among the stately University halls, gleaning from the alluring exhibits of academic depart ments and activities the tra ditions and purposes of the University. And climaxing a gala hol day of fun and frolic in a side-splitting stunt night Program in Memorial hall, where faculty and students forget their pedagogies, throw from their backs the seriousness of life, and laugh together.
