John Dewey. PLAN IN OPERATION Naturally we are delighted Graham and five other college Southern Conference's official convention last Friday. It is still somewhat puzzling to hear many anti-planners con tinuing to harp upon the foul discrimination of the athlete. Why these anti-planners are unable to only against the previous rule under which the conference operat ed during the discussion, but also against amateurism itself is beyond us. We suggest again, as we have suggested before, that these dissenters against a movement to do what we have supposed ly been doing for decades in the name of pure athletics try the same method of finding the light as we tried namely, simple analysis: . Post mortems are not in order, however, and the quicker we come to realize our obligations under the revised regulations, the better. " And, on the part of the student body of the University, we welcome into the Southern Conference fold the six schools to whom invitations to join have been issued: William and Mary, Richmond, Davidson, Furman, Wake Forest and The Citadel. AND, FOR CERTAIN STUDENTS ON THIS CAMPUS WHO HAVE INSISTED ON SPREADING THE RUMOR THAT WE CHANGED OUR ATHLETIC STAND UNDER PRESSURE, LET IT BE HERE STATED THAT WE CHANGED OUR STAND ON OUR OWN VOLITION AFTER ANALYSIS HAD PROVED THE ERROR OF OUR FORMER STAND. That is mentioned here, in black and .white, for the gentlemen who have been voicing the lie that Dr. Graham forced us to back his plan following our former opposition. Some folks are pretty raw. NEW SIGNIFICANCE Last minute preparations progress at high speed as the finish ing touches are added to almost annual Student-Faculty Day. The co-operative efforts of the stu dent and faculty members of the joint committee have assured its success. As originally instituted, Student-Faculty Day is the result of an attempt to draw students and faculty members more closely into friendship and understanding. , It is the one day in the scholastic year which offers opportunity for students and faculty members to get together as groups rather than as individuals. This year Student-Faculty Day takes on a new significance. It is a chance for students and faculty to relieve their minds of the Stress under which they have both been laboring during the trying days of haggling and wrangling over the Graham plan, over con solidation, and especially, the cheating ring. It is the psychologi cal moment for establishing and entrenching feelings of mutual friendship and understanding between students and faculty which have been growing steadily on the campus in recent years. REPORT COLDS! 1 During the current period of bad weather, many cases of colds and several cases of diseases of a more serious nature, some the result of disregard or what began as a common cold, have been contracted by students. Rumor has ebbed and flowed during the last week that the in firmary had been overflowed and could take care of no more stu dents. That is not true and has not been true at any time during the year. The infirmary is performing its function of preventing and treating disease to the best of its ability. The students are not ful filling their duty to themselves and to their fellow students by fail ing to report to the infirmary when their colds begin to develop. Quick action on the part of the individual students in report ing for treatment as soon as trouble develops will not only save them more trouble but will prevent the spread of infectious dis eases through themselves to their fellow students.

Johnson's orchestra will also be fea tured on the stunt night program in Memorial hall on Thursday night. AS THE WIND BLOWS By Samuel R. Leager It seems that some of the larger and more prominent of our American colleges and uni versities are fully ready to sub stantiate the Santa Claus legend. In the past month or so shining financial evidence that prosper ity is returning has been flow ing! into the coffers of the bet ter known schools. Gifts from wealthy patrons and the estates of wealthy patrons have been the order of the day. Harvard leads the lot with the enviable total of gifts amount ing to over two and a half mil lion. Two million of this came from Lucius Nathan Littauer, a retired manufacturer and for mer Representative in Congress, with the stipulation that it be used for the establishment of a graduate school of public ad ministration. The purpose of the new school will be to train men scientifically for govern ment careers. The gifts to Harvard did not stop there, however. Thomas W. Lamont, wealthy New York banker donated the neat sum of $500,000 for the endowment of a chair in political economy. The work of the Harvard bureau for street traffic research received an added impetus to the tune of $54,250 from the Automobile Manufacturers' Association. . Among other large schools re ceiving gifts in the past few weeks are Johns Hopkins Uni versity hospital receiving $900,- 000 from the estate of Albert Marburg, retired manufacturer, Notre Dame receiving a total of $245,600, and the University of Chicago with gifts amounting to $170,500. For the last fiscal year Princeton reports gifts totalling $569,104, and Yale crashes through with a total of $6,719,846. It looks as if Old Man Hard Times holds no terrors for those schools. "Contrast their easy situations, however, with the tight fix Ohio State Univer sity found itself in at the first part of this year. Out of the bud get submitted by the legislature to Gov. Martin L. Davey in May of last year, he had seen fit to veto the appropriations for such items as fuel, salaries, and maintenance of buildings, and the University was in sore straits to know whether it was going to be able to continue throughout the year or not. Fortunately, however, the state legislature last month passed a new biennium appropriation bill restoring most of the items vetoed by Gov. Davey.

A survey conducted in con nection with the campus poll showed that at present 36 eat ing establishments investigated are feeding 2,203 people, con sidered by the owners to be . 59 per cent of capacity which would mean that local boarding houses, restaurants, and cafete rias could board a total of 3, 739 people. Average Costs According to the survey, board costs range from $21.50 to $28.50 per month for three meals or an average of $24.50. The cost for two meals a day ranges from $16 to $20. From the student poll it was discovered that 640 students eat no breakfasts. The students showed a high preference, for boarding houses as an average of 45 per cent eat all three meals at this type of dining hall. Included in board ing houses are fraternity din ing rooms. The remainder of students eat in restaurants and cafeterias. During the period 1925-35, the eating survey showed, 15 eating establishments in Chapel Hill have gone bankrupt, 17 have quit business for various reasons, four have moved away, and four have closed for rea sons unknown. Swain hall, built in 1913 and operated until the end of last year has shown several losses during the past 10 year period and the maintenance of the plant fell away in 1929 when, according to Rogerson's report, decreasing appropriations made this action necessary. 1 Senior Class The entire senior class will hold an important meeting in Murphey hall tonight at 7:30, according to President Morris Rhodes.

The scientist who declares that the universe was born in a fog gives us the comfort of knowing that we are at least holding our own. J 4 f i MAIL ORDERS ASK CONCERT TICKETS Music Department Receives Sev eral Requests by Mail for Swarthout Tickets The music department re ports a number of mail orders for tickets to the Swarthout con cert, which is creating interest throughout this section, due to the fact that this is Miss Swarthout's only personal ap pearance in the state this sea son. .. Miss Swarthout sang in Ra leigh about 10 years ago, at the beginning of her career, and made a fine impression. Today she is considered one of the out standing American singers, and is, herself, an enthusiast for American opera, with Ameri can singers." Remark of Critics Olin Downes, music critic of the New York Times, says of Miss Swarthout "A very distinct addition to the cast. The fresh ness and quality of her tones, the surprising virtuosity which she assembled made a strong ap peal." The Louisville Herald-Post says, "Personal radiance added subtly to the charm of her per sonality, the artistry of her sing ing and her fine musicianship . . a voice of singular beauty, rich in quality and clear and vivid of tone and delivery. A recital superior to any Louisville has had this season." The St. Paul Press claims that "Gladys Swarthout is a brilliant example of the young er singers in America today. She combines a capable, impec cable technical ability with a simple, sincere style of delivery that is far more telling than the gesticulating style of a few years ago." Barnett (Continued from first page) ring and did not expose it. No System "The thing to do is to discuss the problems of the honor sys tem, thrash out all that is wrong, and to get definite ideas in mind concerning the work ings of the system as we haven't a system of any kind now but are only dragging along," con cluded Barnett. In contrast with Barnett's idea Markham stated that at Virgin ia the fear of being expelled from the University hung over the students and played a tre mendous part in curbing those who might cheat. Markham agreed with Barnett that the council has not been active enough in educating students as to what the honor system cov FEBRUARY 13 QUESTION What is the program of tomorrow's Parents Day?
