John Dewey. WEEKEND This weekend, which will, we hope, be one of rest for under graduates and faculty members alike, very few Chapel Hill res dents have a hankering to engage in any discussion on various events of the past few weeks, simply because already the topics . have made a sort of nervous lion's den out of the campus. There are several matters, however, which we can muse over at odd moments during the weekend, and which really need mus ing upon. The question of whether or not anything can be accom pHshed in the way of substituting a course for comprehensive ex aminations needs a little student thought, because it is rather ap parent that the joint committee idea is not working out to any sat isfactory conclusion. If students pushed the questions enough through personal contacts and persuasion, perhaps our ends could be obtained. ; And the old matter about Swain hall needs a little re-stimulation. We wouldn't blame the student who deliberately banged an ax over the editorial writer who mentioned this subject in optimis tic terms nowadays, because whatever hullabaloo has been raised has fallen upon somewhat deaf ears. But there must be a way that all the students could help in bringing the need for a dining hall to the state's attention. A word might be said here on the eating situation poll which our business office conducted. A majority of students, according to the statistics, were satisfied with their food in quantity and qual ity and cleanliness. But you may notice that there are three or four .hundred students who registered "no" on these questions. What seems important to us is this: when 500 or more stu dents aren't satisfied with the quantity and quality of their menu, doesn't that show a need for improvement? And when you calcu late, and probably correctly, that the dissatisfied ones are those .. who are unable to pay high enough prices to get more or better j food, doesn't that emphasize the need for a cheap, central eating !. ' It should be pretty well known by now that the talking points j idvur oi awain, outside oi that which accentuated the goodness fof our having a common gathering center, were directed for the ; Denent oi and in the interest of that group of students who are not particularly well-to-do and need some nlaro n eat wholesomely and without skimping for a moderate sum. We . Know you can eat moderately in uut uul as cneapiy as you could at Swam, nor as fully. i In our opinion, the poll shows the need for Swain more than cne iacK oi such a need, as suggested by several campusites.

By measuring the intensity of the human brain impulses, the instrument delicately notes on a graph the course of. a person's mental activity throughout the night. As experimented by a University of . Iowa psychologist, two platinum electrodes are ap plied to the scalp of a sleeping person; the feeble electrical im pulses of the brain are inter cepted and amplified 300,000 times.

Faculty people dance and frisk occasionally, so each cam pus usually has its dancing club. one oi inese anairs, at an eastern college, a professor be gan to dance with the wife of a colleague. As the first dance wore on, the educator began to complain vociferously of the floor, the music and even hinted that his partner wasn't quite up to snuff as a dancer.

Now YOD'KE Talking WE'VE BEEN PAWNED To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: Last spring when all the So cial Security Act was being for mulated, it developed that cer tain schools were neprfpH throughout the country to train doctors in public health work. Dr. Graham personally wrote in the section dealing with these schools in the country. Since he had a good contact, it naturally fell to Dr. Graham to propose that the Universitv nf Nnrh Carolina be made the seat of one of these schools. To make a long story short, this school' is now with us. Where in the world were doc tors to hold classes, and where were the offices to be? The medi cal building was the logical place, but that building is used to ca pacity already. Build a new building? That was out of the question no funds. The logical answer was that something had to be done away with. What? Lo and behold the state of North Carolina was supporting two 1 ! engineering schools. If the ernri neers could be gotten rid of al the space needed would be avail able.; Besides, wasn't it lawful in view of Cl the Consolidation Act passed by the legislature ? At first glance this mav seem to be a wild statement. I have n't seen it advanced before, but. consider the evidence. is fooled by the claims that it would be cheaper to operate one school than it is to operate two. The relative costs don't anDea to anyone. I doubt if anyone ac tually thinks that the new stu dents will go to State instead of nere- A PlSSQr and better school will not be built un in Ra Ieigh. It is a case of abolishing this school rather than consoli dating with State. Briefly, this school has been pawned to get the school of Dub- lic health, because the school of public health has been judged more valuable to the University. What I resent is not that the University has made a bad bar gain, but that we have been told that it was the best thing for the engineering school. It was to save the taxpayers money and all such boloney. W. G. Privette. SEND THE DAILY TAR HEEL HOME "...but "nevertheless it moves . V By Bill LEvrrr TOM MOONEY, 1936 In printing this' condensed letter from Tom Mooney with out any introduction, we take it for granted thatf everyone is familiar with the Tom Mooney Warren Billings case. Those who are not have not been suffi ciently educated and do not be long in college. The letter fol lows : Dear Friend: The hearing of my petition for a habeas corpus writ will be resumed before the referee ap pointed by the California Su preme Court this February. This hearing is bringing our struggle to a new crisis where we need your moral and finan cial help more than ever before. We have proved that all mate rial evidence, all matters of iden tification as to our participation in the crime was. pure and un adulterated perjury. We have proved that the dis trict Attorney and the Police partment had conscious know ledge of that perjury when they presented it to the court that convicted us. We have proved that they de liberately suppressed and con cealed vital evidence that would have conclusively established our innocence. This hearing is of vital im portance not because there is so much hope that the California Supreme Court will grant my writ, but because it is the final step in carrying the case for ward to the U. S. Supreme Court Where there is real hope for fa vorable action. James Brennan, assistant un der Fickert -and active prosecu tor who railroaded innocent 22 year old Warren K. Billings to the penitentiary for life, last year introduced into the Calif or nia legislature a resolution call ing upon the Governor to com mute our sentences to .time served, thus branding us forever as ex-convicts," "time-expired felons," "convicted murderers." That cowardly, tricky maneuver would have ended forever rany hope of redressing this ' mons-: trous wrong in court. We need funds desperately to carry through the present move we are making. We must im mediately prepare a comDlete transcript of over 15,000 pages to enable my attorneys to pre pare a brief for the U. S. Su preme Court. We are compelled to pay for that transcript, the California Supreme Court hav ing refused to pay such expenses for us. I know you will do your utmost to strain a point at this time to give us desperately need ed financial assistance. With your aid I know we shall crown our struggle with victorv.
