Exit the Technicians The committee of impartial experts employed to make recommendations on University consoli dation suggested in 1932 that two different class es of f technical instruction be provided in the Greater University. Reported the experts : "Two fairly "distinct' types of technical education are proposed for the new University system.' Onejprepares for the professional branches of engineering and 'the other for technical and executive work in specific indus tries. The two have elements in common and can work tp advantage side by side, but the survey committee feels that they should be encouraged to develop along different lines. It therefore recommends that separate divisions be set up, one for engineering and, one for industries. The basis of the experts' recommendation was that the Greater University should offer an engi neering program broad enough to serve the mul titude of North Carolinians who wish technical training as well as the comparative few who want professional engineering. ..The new plan of Consolidation, passed by the trustees last June, admits the need of technical training but makes no provision for it; :The en gineering school at State .College, which all : along has :beerv- emphasizing the technical side of in struction, is to be developed into a great profes sional school. The engineering institution at Chapel Hill, supported iby the finest scientific de partments in the state and already noted as the best professional school of its sort in the South, is to be dismembered, picked up, and plopped down over in Raleigh upon scientific props gener ally acknowledged to be comparatively weak. In providing only for training professional en gineers, the present consolidation policy keeps un satisfied the industrial demand for men trained in specific techniques. To consolidate the two schools is to set up one form of engineering where two different types are required. The strange part of the engineering-moving-business is that the Consolidationists aim for a great professional school and yet, instead of de veloping the. already fine professional engineering school at Chapel Hill, they wipe it off the map ' a;nd build a new one at Raleigh. By expanding the technical emphasis at State College and retaining the professional engineering school at Chapel Hill the Consolidated University may better meet the needs of the state. Clearing Up Cuts .With the variform interpretations of the new ruling on attendance, confusion and uncertainty exists and probably will continue in the future. Before beginning a new quarter's work next fall some code of understanding should be real ized for the benefit of teachers and those being taught. Instructors ought to make sure at the beginning of the quarter that they and the stu dents know simply where they stand. "I There are certainly advantages to the present rather flexible faculty ruling; some day we might eyen do away with compulsion entirely. Some classes have, already. J. M.S. University Majors RURAL SOCIAL ECONOMICS By Dr. S. H. Hobbs Rural Social Economics, as. a field of study in the University curriculum and as a field of work after college, should be of particular interest to students in the South. Since emphasis has been turned on research in the work of the federal govern ment, and since planning for bet ter utilization of resources is re ceiving major emphasis, the South with its lag in economic and social progress offers an un surpassed laboratory for study and accomplishment. As the name of the department N implies, stress is laid on rural problems, both social and eco nomic, but since the whole so cial picture is one of rapid change and accompanying ur banization, the approach to. ru ral problems if often by way of contrast and comparison with urban situations. Courses are; offered so that a major in the department can either combine the sociological and economic ' approaches to ru ral ; problems, ! or he may . place hisemphasis I on either one or the other of these approaches. As an example, rural sociology is offered as a general survey for one quarter, as country life problems for another, and as a rural community course in the third. Laboratory courses m this subject are also available. In rural economics, study may be made of the elementary con cepts in agricultural economics,- the history of agriculture, and agricultural co-operation. . Labo ratory courses are available here as well. Graduate, courses are also offered. Perhaps the most unusual Continued on last page) YANK TERRORISTS Back during reconstruction times, the Yanks were horrified by the deeds of southern Ku Kluxers. But according to cur rent newspaper accounts, the old White Riders were a band of sissies by comparison with Mich igan's current "Black Legion." These new northern terrorists are. said to number 135,000, org anized into five brigades of 16 regiments each. The "legion" is suspected of over 50 deaths, many of which were made to ap pear suicides. Similar to other vigilante ter rorist organizations, "legion" members seek to take justice in to their own hands, meting out death as the penalty. Every member goes armed and ready for action. k All of which makes us wonder about these Yankees who have a tantrum every time there 4s a lynching in the South. Lynch ing is admittedly unjust and should be prevented. . But We never got organized well enough down here so we could kill them in lots of 50 at a whack anid make it look like suicide to boot. SALVE; By Stuart Rabb I 1 Campus Literati On Re vie w BY (BILL The New Carolina Magazine Daniels' Maiden Issue Appears Today New-Style Cover, Lino leum Cuts, Lots of Verse,-Several Contributors Not Published This Year Are Chief Differences from Mag under Poe's Editorship. Wisely content to make only minor alterations, certain to be successful, in the format and tone of Charles Poe's generally acclaimed Magazine, . Jim Dan iels, the new editor, will step off on the right foot today with the publication of a first issue of solid worth, attractive particul arly for the light articles, the poetry, and the pictorial fea tures. t : The cover, designed by Dr. Johnny Booker's daughter . Nell, is printed in bright green ink from a linoleum cut figured with poplar leaves and bearing some relation, according to tjie in scription underneath, to our own Davie Poplar. Whatever the re lation, the: cover is bright and hopeful. - - Then there is an unusually well-executed and ; meaningful cartoon, "Political "Gardnering," by Phil Schinhan, about the engineering school situation. The most attractive single use of the linoleum cuts is the decoration for William Wheat's clever little verses, "Some Romanticists, which verses are flanked by re presentations of ... ships of books With rnagazines for sails. s Strictly Entertaining The new editor knows how to season his literary menu with light fare and plenty of it. In addition to Mr. Wheat's witty nursery rhymes, there is verse by Vernon Pard, Josephine Nig gli, and Elmer Johnson, none of it very ambitious, but all re freshing and neatly finished. I liked particularly the windy sea rhythm of Mr. Ward's "To the Helmsman," although some of the figures and word-usages in the v poem won't stand too close inspection, and the sincere lyri cism of Miss Niggli's sonnet "Chapel Hill." ; ; Written by Joe - Sugarman, with Harper Barnes'- collabora-1-tion, in a- high-pressure style which borders on sensationalism and for that very reason makes the article unusually readable, "Now It Should Be Told, Bled soe's Political History Contin ued" tops the list of entertain ment long features. "I Drove for a Rum-runner," by "Slim," a very respectable Carolina stu dent, sounds authentic enough in its simple, straightforward Driplets PEACE The pinetrees sigh as daylight flies, The page grows dim before my eyes, And on the wings of night there lies A hush of rest and peace. Far off a frog croaks out his song, A bird's trill on high lingers long, In this quiet place there seems no wrong, No breath of war, but peace. A childish laugh floats on the air. Why should this child be made to t share ' The harsh brunt of a statesman's dare That shattered dreams of peace? Why should the trees by which I sit By angry roaring bombs be split And fall to earth because of it, That one man had not peace? Dear Father, raise Thy hand tonight To down the wrong and lift the Tight, That ever when recedes the light There may come rest and peace. Gladys Best Tripp. (W.C.U.N.C.)

It's interesting to see someone dig below the surface of the cheating situation, but the neatness of the whole article is a little suspicious. It's hard to believe that the solution is so simple, v . Editor Daniels' audit of Ham mer's Tar Heel," well-written and well put together, hardly creates the impression of ob jectivity. It deals, in a summary fashion impossible for an unbias ed critic, with one, of the most interesting subjects in con temporary college life, the "acti vities man." There's much of truth in it, and it's unfortunate that the obvious prejudice of the author will detract from the value of what he implies, about extra-curricular . activities V r in general, - For example ; he dis-' misses Hammer's crusade for a reallocation: of student fees; with a laconic "no success, no need;" and his attempt to obtain staff elections for all editors with "Failed.
