Last week Dr. Berryhill issued an order that the intramural
athletic program be suspended during the "flu" period.
There were two important

to walk from the dormitories and fraternity houses more or less
scantily clothed ; second, when they reach the Tin Can the heating
facilities are so poor that colds
may develop into influenza.
, Dr. Berryhill took the right
as influenza is prevalent on the campus. However, his order applies
only to intramural athletics. The

University's athletes, as a preventitive for the spread of a com
mon disease, appropriations should be made to remedy the situa
tion. The University is supposed to look after the well-being of its
students ; in this case it isn't carrying out its function. The expense
of adding to the heating facilities could not be prohibitive when
the health of a thousand students a day is endangered.

It may have made you bite your lip the other night when
some of the less intelligent members of the campus society ap
plauded at the end of each movement in the symphony. But that
was not the important thing. What really counted was what the
students thought about the music.
Following the final burst of applause and as students walked
from Memorial hall, you could hear enthusiastic buzzes all around
here. Some students whom you'd never suspected to be lovers of
any sort of music- better than Louis Armstrong were completely
thrilled with what they had heard. It really meant something to
them and there was no question about that.
It seems that we are usually too prone to overlook the pri
mary object of student entertainments and other cultural pro
grams. It is not to see whether the students are cultured and re
fined, but to give them a taste of the best, a touch of the finer
things. And if we clap after a movement, no matter how much it
aggravates the "upper clawss," by gosh, we applaud because we
like the music!
PHI MU
Next Wednesday Gladys Swarthout, star of the Metropolitan
Opera and the movies, sings here. Phi Mu Alpha, honorary musi
cal fraternity, sponsors her appearance.
Miss Swarthout is not the first great musician that Phi Mu
Alpha has brought to the University. In 1932 with the sponsoring
here of Mme. Amelita Galli-Curci, the local musical fraternity
broke into prominence. The next year the organization presented
Fritz Kreisler, internationally famous violinist. For the winter of
1934 Sergei Rachmaninoff, noted Russian composer-pianist, was
booked for a campus concert; but at the last minute was replaced
by Josef Lhevinne, another authority on Russian music. Last year
Dalies Frantz, "the Titan of the keyboard," appeared.
For such a brilliant array of eminent musicians no comment
is necessary. Phi Mu Alpha's contribution to the campus is unquestionable.

BOOKLARNIN,
by
George Butleb
After vainly thumbing sever
al cars, three student hitch-hik
ers at Oregon State saw the
long, black-paneled delivery wa
gon come to a stop at the curb.
With expansive smiles spread
over their visages, they grabbed
their traveling bags, bunched
themselves together in the rear
end of the truck. Being finan
cially indisposed, the students
were jubilant over having se
cured a free ride to their home
town. After the driver had
stepped on the gas and was some
distance from the point of de
parture, he asked a question, by
way of making conversation,
which fairly well upset the de
corum' of the three youths.
"I hope you boys don't mind
riding . back there with that
body." A quick look was all
that the students needed. There
in front of them rested a blan
ket-covered corpse. .

Talking
IN DANGER
To the editor,
The Daily Tar Heel:
As a loyal alumnus of the
University who is vitally inter
ested in its well being, I trust
you will allow me the privilege
of expressing my concern re
garding two problems which our
institution is facing today. Let
it be clearly understood at the
outset that the writer is an ar
dent admirer of President Gra
ham and is proud of the stand
that he has taken on a number
of issues. In these two cases
which I would like. to present,
however, the dispute is not with
regard to the goals or objectives
which are to be achieved, we
agree concerning them, but is
definitely related to the means
which should be adopted to
reach them.
With regard to the first in
stance, the honor system, let us
examine tne iacts as oest we
can. The writer can vouch for
the fact that there was a con
siderable amount of cheating,
particularly in required courses,
done when he was a student and
conversations with present stu
dents lead him to believe that
this has not diminished. In the
second place one of the ethical
or moral principles which the
writer was taught at home, and
this is true for a good many
members of the present student
body, was not to "tattle" or
'squeal" or tell on anyone parti
cularly their friends. That part
oi the honor system which re
quires students to report their
classmates for cheating, etc.,
runs counter to their home
training and should be abolish
ed.
Although I agree entirely
witn Mr. uranam concerning
;the objectives which he hopes to
attain with his athletic policy
one feature seems to be very
adumbrated. As I understand
it, if I were to loan a student
the necessary funds to come to
the University he would not be
permitted to play football even
though his academic record was
clean. Now what difference does
it maKe wnetner i loaned or
gave him the money because he
was a good athlete as long as he
has not violated either the ath
letic of the scholastic standards?
Mr. Graham believes apparently
that every graduate of North
Carolina high schools who would
like to come to the University,
but who does not have sufficient
funds to defray the cost should
be examined by a faculty com
mittee and his case determined
purely on the grounds of schol
arship, no preference being ex
tended to those students who
possess in addition to their in
tellectual ability athletic prow
ess.
It is of course much easier for
one on the side-lines to say what
should be done than to do it him
self. But as the old adage goes,
where there is smoke there is
fire and it must be realized that
the alumni are not becoming
aroused over trivial problems
but because they believe that
their University which they love
is in danger.

PEOPLE'S PARTY
"In South Carolina the rules
for the Democratic party pro
vide as to Negroes, as follows:
'Every Negro applying for mem
bership in a Democratic club, or
offering to vote in a primary,
must produce a written state
ment of 10 reputable white men,
who shall swear that they know
of their own knowledge that the
applicant or voter voted for
General Hamilton in 1876, and
has voted the Democratic ticket
continuously since. The said
statement shall be placed in the
ballot box by the managers and
returned with the poll lists to
the county chairman. The man
agers of election shall keep
seDarate list of the names of
all Negro voters."
If anyone is interested, this
statement may be found in the
1936 edition of the World Al
manac, page 912.
BOOKS
There are two books on the
0
labor movement that should be
read. Anthony Bimba's History
of the American Working Class,
and Tom Tippett's Southern La
bor Stirs, give a worker's view
point on a worker's history. For
those who like to see both sides
of questions, these books will
give the "other" side.
Also, all embryo Fascists
might glance at R. P. Dutt's
Fascism and Social Revolution
before they take up a career.
This swell book has changed
many people with Fascist ten
dencies into fighting anti-Fas
cists, simply because it tears
any Fascist argument into
shreds, and shows what Fas
Icism "really" is.
PRIZE ORATION
Tom Tippett tells in the book
already mentioned how when six
workers were killed and 25
wounded by a blast from the
guns of drunken deputies, Boss
Baldwin, the owner of the mill
was asked for a statement. He

POETRY
This poem is taken from the
January 19 issue of the "Sun
day Worker:"
"Dirty Willie Randolph Hearst
Likes to see the U. S. first
First in Armies, first in Navies
First in castles for Marion
Davies."
NEWS ITEM
"L'Humanite," French news
paper has the following news
brief on Januarv 21. "My
George Windsor, King of Eng
land, expired at exactly 11:55
p. m. yesterday."
Neat, but to the point.
RABBI WILLI AMOWSKI.
Despite an erroneous spelling
of his name yesterday, Rabbi
Williamowski will still speak to
Dr. Caldwell's class on Old Test
ament history Monday at noon.
"Scriptures and Traditions of
the Hebrews" will be explained
to the class by the visitor. The
lecture, in 301 Saunders, is open
to everyone interested.

are available as the guests
of any student on the cam
pus. If you find the name of a.
professor you would like to
entertain next Thursday
sign up with the registrar
