JOY CONTRACTED

German Club Selects Famous Ho-
tel Gibson Orchestra to Play
At Annual Dances
-What Jack Pool has done, in reporting his mistake of five
years ago, in demanding his own suspension and in suffering
like a man for his breach of the honor principle he loves so
well, will live forever in the history of the University as an
example of that honor and integrity which this University
seeks to foster and maintain among its students.
Far off in the distant future lies a time when things of our
younger life are recalled. Then we will realize, even more than
now, that such actions as this nble one" of our student body
president hold a reason . for thlif having stood out against
the skies through the years, upon a mountain up in the sun,
as something beautiful and real and sincere.
And that reason is honor itself, a deep thing, more than a
, policy and an ideal, the very ibasis of life.
We must understand now that the inspiration of Jack Pool's
action, the inspiration of his career as our student leader, must
serve to help us in the processes of overcoming the many bar
riers which stand in our way today. .
It is not disillusion, or discouragement that we feel when
our student president admits his mistake. It is rather jenew
ed faith in him. as a man, renewed faith in this basis upon
which he and we live, renewedj faith in every man's ability
and capacity to make his life an honorable one and to help
his fellow man follow the same path under the sun.
In the glorious light of Jack Pool's magnificent stand, we
press onward as he would have us do if he were still here to
lead us. " - ' -
He has not failed us. We must not fail him.

HUMOR MAGAZINE
TO APPEAR EARLY
New Buccaneer with Comic Val
entines Ahead of Time
Jack Pool, president of the stu
dent body, yesterday morning re
ported himself to the student
council of which he was chair
man for participation in the gen
eral cheating of a French clas3
the spring quarter of his fresh
man year.
He then moved his own indefi
nite suspension and following
council deliberation, insisted that
his final vote be included in the
council vote to make it unani
mous for that sentence.
Pool has been president of the
student body since last spring.
Last year he served as president
of the senior class. For four
years he has been the most pow
erful force for the honor prin
ciple m the student body.
Not Accused
Pool's action did not come as a
result of a charge made by Lee
Turk, suspended student. Thurs
day afternoon, that he had cheat
ed in his senior year. That ac
cusation, a false one, had been
withdrawn.
Pool reported his own mistake
of his freshman year and urged
that the council take action on
it immediately. This was Thurs-

MAGAZINE WILL BE
ON CAMPUS TODAY
Poe's Carolina Magazine to Fea
ture Varied Assortment of
Literary Works
The January issue of Char
les Poe's Carolina Macazine.
the oldest college publication in
the United States, is out today.
The feature article, "Frame-
ups and Fights," by Taylor
Bledsoe, political boss on the
campus from 1922 to 1929 and
now practicing law in Asheville,
is a revelation of campus politi
cal activities which are none the
less interesting for having taken
place in the Twenties.
"The Honor System Is Not
Dead," an article, by a former
president of the student body,
was written before the recent
expose, according to Editor Poe.
Among the other articles is an
answer to the question, "Is self
help a hindrance?", by DeWitt
Carroll. Don Becker gives his
ideas about the south in "Para
doxical Dixie, The Land of
Plenty and the Land of Pov
erty." In "Hitler Youth," Wil
liam Wooten, University junior,
shows how the German Youth
Movement started as a peace
movement but by gradual steps
turned into a militaristic organ
ization. Short stories in this month's
issue are: Shelby Foote's "The
Old Man That Sold Peanuts in
New Orleans," Billy Hudson's
"Virgin of the Cloisters," and
"The Reverend and The Cap
tain's Daughters" by Stuart
Rabb.
Other articles include "Mur
der or Kindness?" by Alvin
Wingfield and "Why the Com
prehensives?" by Irving Suss.
The regular, features, "Review
ing the Books" and "The Edi
tor's Opinion," are also in this
issue.
