C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1936 NUMBER 116 Wm mill Campus Grievances Are Aired At Initial Panel Discussions Olsen Presides During Lengthy Union Debate Subjects Discussed are Many and Varied; Ivey Talks On Consolidation DEBATE FIRST OF SERIES The panel debates in Graham Memorial last night brought forth grievances from many stu dents on things which they con sider wrong with the University. The panel debaters, speaking on consolidation, campus person ahty, meaning of education, comprehensives, value of grades, faults with the law school and the Graham plan, started an op en forum lasting two hours: ; Dr.W. A. Olsen, as presiding chairman, stated at the opening that i everyone was free to say anything "decent enough to say in any public place." Consolidation Speaking on consolidation, Pete Ivey said the purpose of bringing the Woman's College, State College, and the "truly- emlightened unit at Chapel Hill" together was to make a stronger -whole.

This was the first of a series of panel debates which will be lield in Graham Memorial. . Economics Seminar Hears Arnold Talk Economics Professor Discusses Cotton Adjustment Program Economic and political mot- Ives behind the recently annulled cotton adjustment program were discussed by Professor F. H. ; ' . .. . . - . . ' - Arnold at last night's meeting of the economics seminar. The economics professor stat- d that, the other reason is the fact that New Dealers consider cotton farmers less significant politically than other types of farmers, and hence take less in- terest in them. Mr. Arnold believes that the cotton adjustment program has had a neutral value. In bene- fitting some farmers, it has Iiarmed many others. Woman's Association The last Woman's associa tion meeting of the quarter will be held this afternoon at 5 o'clock in Graham Memorial. Miss Baldwin, dean of wom en at Duke University, will speak to the association on student affairs at a dean's conference which she recently attended, composed of deans from the entire country.

Administration Dean Appro vis Of Non-Partisan Group to Study National Issues Re-organization of the Caro lina Political Union to co-operate with other groups on the cam pus in fostering discussion and comment on current problems was endorsed yesterday by R. B. House, dean of administra tion and by W. B. Sanders, as sociate professor of public . ad ministration. In a letter to Floyd Fletcher, graduate student who has been a leader in the movement to re form the Union, Sanders ex pressed approval of the effort. "In bringing to the campus," he said, "speakers impartially from the various political parties, and in promoting discussion of the major political issues as the bases for intelligent under- I j i i -i stanmnt? ann action, tnft i;aro- i o - i hna Political Union merits the interest and support of students and faculty alike." The comment which Dean House made to Fletcher about the Union reads as follows: "I have been interested in learning from you of student interest in reviving and, in a way, re-creating the Carolina Political Union. I think that this is al together a healthy and sound project. I say this because I understand that the students who will form this political union desire wholeheartedly to get acquainted with the back ground of politics in the State and in the nation, that they de- (Continued on page two) ' EDITOR Editor Phil Hammer left last night for a much-needed vaca tion made necessary by severe physical strain engendered by-over-work. In an extreme way, this is typical of the situa tion of the other few on the campus required to do the main portion of student business. The editor's willingness to sacrifice his class work and his physical well-being to aid in the solution of student problems was manifested in tlte responsibilities he shouldered this quarter, and by his past activities. The 'fact that his work was criticized harshly very often by a none-too-grateful cam pus, does not detract from it. In his absence, until the first of the spring quarter, the edi torial policies of the paper will be handled by the editorial board under the direction of the chairman of that board.

Through a maze of facts and information, the commit tee has had to work stren uously during the past wteek. It has been unable to work up the mimeographed booklet containing more facts and a more thorough presentation than that which appears in the questionnaire introduction but this larger work will be completed before the holidays, as the contribution of this generation of students to the history of the honor system. It cannot be stressed too vigorously that every student answer clearly, intelligently and sincerely the questions asked. The answers will serve as a basis for whatever modi fications of the honor system which the student body de sires to make. . A date for the collection of the questionnaires will be set soon. The time allowed for filling them out would be ade quate if every student accepts his responsibility. Faculty members, too, are urged to give sincere thought to the matter. Their opinions will be counted in as a basis for the students' re-examination of the honor system.

MARTINI WILL SING AT DUKE TONIGHT Metropolitan Opera Star to Appear in Page Auditorium Nino Martini, billed as the leading lyric tenor of the Metro- politan Opera company, will sing at Duke in Page audito- rium this evening at 8:15. Martini, the only living tenor who can sing- "Credea Si Mis ere" from the opera "II Puri- tani," has been singing for the last three seasons at the Metro- Dolitan. Before that he was well known as a radio singer. Re cently he starred in his first motion picture. After singing in many of the capitols of Europe, Martini came to America and started his career over again, as a radio singer.

Any members not present at this meeting will be dropped from the staff. iDelivery Of Leaflets Will Be Made During Remainder of Week Would Obtain Prevalent Student And Faculty Opinions Con cerning Honor System, WEAVER NEW CHAIRMAN The questionnaire recently prepared by Francis Fairley's Committee on the Honor System will be delivered to every profes sor and student on the campus during the remainder of this week, ft was announced last night by .
