THE O N LY CO L LEG E DAI L y I N T HE SOUTH seel TO CREATE A CAMPUS PERSONALITY" iy- (1) A JOURNAL OF THE ACTIVITIES OF CAROLINIANS v4 VOLUME XLIV EDITORIAL PHONE 4351 CHAPEL HILL, N. C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1936 BUSIXESS FHOXI 41H NUMBER 99 r u i i THE CAIPU S KEYBOARD by PhU Hammer ' The Two-Fold Responsibility of the Honor System Can't Be Taken in Half Measure Ui course there has been a Jot of student discussion on the Jionor system this week, and evi dently a lot of thought accom jpahying the oratory. . But it has been apparent that both the dis cussions and the thoughts bave been directed ; against rather superficial elements of the prob To be specific, students have paid more attention to how and -why the council acted, how and wrhy the students who uncover ed the cheating ring went about their, work, and who has been suspended and the relative me rits of each case. Even more specifically, the students have been judging the correctness of the non-classification of honor breaches which the council has adhered to in the recent episode.. But the students have failed, for the most part, to consider the most important element. They have failed to analyze the significance of what happened in relation to their own inalien able connection with the honor system. The most - important - thing -that this student body has to learn in this matter is the dif ference between their present interpretation of the honor sys tem as somethings which allows individuals to have full voice in 3iow they act, and the correct in terpretation which makes it ob ligatory that each student be re sponsible not only for his own tactions, but those of his fellow students. : There has grown up a virtual ""code" against reporting cheat ers, which has become a deeply rooted campus folkway. , Stu dents will say : "I won't cheat, but it's no business of mine Vh'aanybody else does." This feeling, which carries almost the entire campus, is destroying the workability of the honor system and is throwing any honest attempt to Ward enforce ment m the light as a drastic -and far-fetched action. This barrier to success can't be broken down by editorial po licy or platform oratory, how ever clear it may be. It can be thrown aside only as theindiv iduals themselves come to grasp with the problem and see that there is no alternative except to .assume BOTH of the honor sys tem's responsibilities : to live up to the honor code themselves and to report violations on the part of fellow students. Only through this thoughtful realization can the students ever hope to perpetuate the honor system on this campus.

Numerous Problems Involved In Moving e Eighty-five Musicians and Instruments Require Special Train Getting the Minneapolis Sym phony Orchestra's 85 musicians about the country for concerts five or six times each week of the tour involves many prob lems. A special train of three Pull mans, one coach, and a baggage car has carried the orchestra since it left Minneapolis in Jan uary. Wednesday, the train was backed up to Pittsboro street where the musicians boarded it at midnight. They appeared in concert in Wash ington the next day. . To protect their instruments, symphony members carry them in a total of 60 trunks. Wed nesday riight; George Pearson, Memorial hall stage manager, had on his hands; not . only the trunks but also the greatest number of entertainers ever to appear on the stage here. Props, pulleys and all s loose objects were moved to accom modate the orchestra on Memo rial hall's stage.

So thought the Student-Fac4 ulty Day big shots with the re4 suit that, although the festival this year will be modeled to a considerable extent after its pre decessor, there will be a number of changes and additions which the committee hopes will add to the smoothness and satisfaction of the affair. Three of the innovations will be aimed directly at a more widespread distribution of fa culty members at student living quarters. '. , Most spectacular ; will be the dashing around of fraternity ana dormitory taxis carrying guests to and from visiting places. South building will probably be the "terminal," and the service of course will be iree. Hiacn house will nave a car bearing a placard denoting the lodge or dormitory it serves. A rule which will not be en forced but which it is hoped will be followed has been made to limit the length of visits to 15 minutes, in order that each professor may call at more fra ternities and dormitories. Last year at luncheon stu dents found that even with pro fessors the easiest path to the heart was often by way of the stomach. This year they will have two opportunities to try this method of pleasing their proctors; for dinner as well as lunch will be an official .eriter-i taimrient period.

Miss Swarthout is under con tract to play the title role ; in the moving picture version of "Carmen" which is to be.riiade soon. The three numbers, from the opera which she will sing here are the "Habanera," which Grace Moore sang in her pic ture "One Night of Love;" the "Card Scene;" and "Seguidille." - - In addition to a large number of classical arias, Miss Swarth out will sing a group of English songs in a lighter vein. As "des sert for her audience" she j usu ally gives a group . of . popular modern songs as encores. : v. , Time, in a recent article, says of Miss Swarthout, "By her singing she makes it clear that, in the current operatic sweep stakes, she will not be out-distanced by the Hollywood field. "She is less buoyant than Co lumbia's Grace Moore, but has more chic. M-G-M's svelte Jea nette MacDonald may do better in her underwear, but Contralto Swarthout's throat muscles do not wiggle. Over RKO's little Lily Pons, she has the definite advantage of being able to talk English."
