Very probably many campus
3tes are wondering just exactly
-what the honor committee is
taking so long thinking about
and discussing. In order to ex
plain a few of the problems un
der consideration and their tie
in with the more recent problem
at hand, we take this. opportun
ity for a brief insight.
A study of the honor system
necessarily brings up a study of
the student body and its capaci
ties, abilities and willingness to
assume the responsibilities of
an honor system and the whole
gamut of student government ac
tivities. One of the most diffi
cult knots to untie is the practi
cability of student government
"when the same students which
support it fail to maintain to any
degree of perfection an inter
related honor system.
Whether or not we can study
the students' , ability to main
tain workable and efficient stu
dent government distinct from
their assumption of an honor
system which utilizes student
government in its administra
tion, yet is based on more uni
versal responsibility for-its effi
ciency, is a moot question. A
strict :-vvlewT--"cnn6'-separate
these.
For such a view considers the
honor system as a continuous
entity based not only on individ
ual honor but on the democratic
and educative methods utilized
in its administration. By view
ing an honor system in this
light, with the three distinct yet
intertwined elements of honor,
democracy and education, we
-embrace in our conception not
only whether or not a student
body can be honorable and ex
pected to transmit its honor in
to a system of maintaining it by
a group method, but also the
very method itself, its democra
tic ideals and approximation,
and its educative motives and
principles.
Thus, it embraces a unity
which can be studied only
through a complete analysis of
the student personnel, student
government, and the honor sys
tem all rolled into one. It has
"u, ,;.,i j. i - .
vuviuuaiy nui, ueen accepted, in
many institutions where student
government is evidently running
along democratic lines while the
honor system, as such, is being
handled by faculty members out
side of student jurisdiction.
It is needless to point out that
a study of our system and our
government here finds much food
for thought in either light. I
is certain that both conceptions
must be understood and appre
ciated before any conclusions can
be reached on either or both.

Pool relates how during one.-
of his "man on the street"
broadcasts, he accosted a hard
bitten old farmer and asked him
the question: "Do you think
Franklin Roosevelt will be elect

bacco juice on the pavement, the
farmer strode up to the "mike",
seized it and shouted: "Well, I
hope the G D f ool won't be."

The Sedalia Singers from the
Palmer Memorial Institute of
Sedalia, N. C, will give a free
concert in Graham Memorial
Sunday afternoon at 3:30.
This group of Negro singers,
composed of students and facul
ty of the Palmer Institute, have
become popular throughout the
United States as interpreters of
Negro spirituals. Their per
formance here last year was
praised heartily by both students
and faculty.
Alma Gluck, famous singer of

last night afforded me one of
the greatest thrills of my life.
Mrs. Brown showed herself the

Odum Treats South
In Newly Released .
Book On Economics
Southern Regions of the Unit
ed States" Is Title
"The Southern Regions of the
United States, set in the midst
of superabundance of nature's
wealth, abounding in multiple
resources of geography, human
stocks, and American cultural
backgrounds." This is the locale
for the newly-released book,
"Southern Regions of the Unit
ed States," by Dr. Howard W.
Odum.
Envisaging the United States
as a vast mosaic of naturally-defined
geographical regions and
sub-regions, Dr. Odum, who is
also director of the Institute for
Research in Social Science here
at the University, believes the
logical approach to national so
cial planning is by simultaneous,
integrated planning of both the
nation as a whole and the com
ponent regions of which the na
tion is made up.
Utilizing more than 700 var
ied indices and some 600 maps
and charts and tables, this vol
ume attempts for the first time
a realistic and comprehensive
picturization of the southern
regional culture.

A laundry survey of the Uni
versity -Consolidated Service
plants has just been completed.
The survey shows the volume
of garments and labor that was
involved last year in washing
and finishing the garments of
students and townspeople. Em
ploying 76 people, the laundry
department washed and finished
5,250,000 garments; used 6,234,
200 gallons of water to wash
them; consumed 22,250 pounds
of soap in washing; used 918,
990 pounds of coal to heat wat
er for washing and to produce
steam to heat the finishing ma
chines. Buttons
Fifty-eight thousand eight
hundred buttons were sewed on
garments, with no additional
cost to patrons. The number, of
socks darned was 95,200, . and
263,360 socks were washed and
finished. . .
The laundry figures for this
year have up to now exceeded
those of the previous year by. 11
per cent.
With the new service which
has been inaugurated by the
laundry department, it is hoped
that the volume of business will
be further increased. -
Handkerchiefs
Heretofore handkerchiefs and
table napkins had been pinned
together before they were wash
ed. It was found that the ar
ticles became slightly frayed
where they had been pinned af
ter washing and finishing sev-r
eral times.
To overcome this difficulty,
