University Majors 4 I In Unity , . V Geoiogy students need engineering instruction in drawing. Vital to lawyers are engineering courses in surveying; Prospective city managers in the school of public administration and students in medicine and the new school of public health gain benefits from sanitary and other like phases of engineering. Almost all the natural science departments, where theory is emphasized, profit by the more practical subjects offered in the Phil lips hall classrooms. Ourengineering school here strengthens the curricula of the College of Arts and Sciences and the professional schools. On the other hand, engineers require physics, chemistry, mathematics, and other courses offer ed by the departments of natural sciences. Allied to engineering, too, is work in the school of com merce and business ; engineers need business ad ministration and industrial and personnel man agement. An engineering school, if it is to be first class, must be supported by strong allied and contributory departments. . I Instruction in engineering and the subjects of fered by a liberal university are intricately inter woven. Each strengthens the other. The Consolidationists have designated' Chapel Hill as the Greater University's School of Arts and Sciences. Here Js to ibe the center for training in liberal arts, graduate work, science, research, and the professions. It seems unwise that our engineering school should be lifted from the traces that entwine it with the other curricula at Carolina and set over in Raleigh, apart from the Greater University's scientific center. To divide the engineering school from the College of Arts and Sciences is to weak en both institutions. The Neglected "Judge" Parker, General College Head Spruill, and the thirty-odd upperclassmen making plans for Freshman Orientation Week meet this after noon to work out details for next fall's program. Today's will likely be the last meeting of this group before they re-assemble at the Hill early next year. Each year a large number of co-eds enter the University's junior class and another group of a hundred or more find their way into the other upperclasses as transfers with previous college training at other institutions; Granting that these students have found to some degree the college perspective, they have really never lived in Chapel Hill before. We plan an elaborate program with punch, ad vice, and Waist measurements for some 700 . freshmen; but for the heavy list of other new Carolina men (the Women's Council may do some thing for co-eds next fall) they can scrape off their own bark, we say. J. M. S. LATIN By Dr. G. A. Harrer The Latin Department offers an undergraduate major, and also courses allied to majors of other departments in the divi sion of humanities. Under the new regulations of this division a major in Latin is to consist' of a series of six to eight courses, while not more than four courses may be taken if the Latin is se lected as a subject allied to some other major field. For the junior and senior years the Latin Department does not offer elementary cours es with the exception of one special course running three times a week through the year for those who desire an intro duction to the Latin and are well qualified by previous training in some other foreign language. The courses in Latin are de signed for those students who want to specialize preparatory -to entering the teaching profes sion, and for those whose aim is to acquire a knowledge of the language and literature for cul tural purposes. A few courses, in connection with the depart ment of general and compara tive literature, are offered in Latin literature in translated form for students in other fields who have no command of the language. In the courses which deal with the literature in the original emphasis is placed on a study of the language and especially on the ability to translate, and on acquaintance with the history of the literature of : the Romans, and the interpretation of the forms in which, following largely the Greek, the Romans cast their literary productions, to gether with consideration of the ideas and purposes of Romans as leaders in ancient civilization. ' These lines of study are followed in the reading of works of some of the great figures in world lit erature, for example Horace and Juvenal in Satire, and Cicero, a creator of prose-writing in west ern Europe. By these studies it is hoped a proper approach may be made to an acquaintance with the bases of our own language, literature and civilization. PHILOSOPHY By Dr. Stephen A. Emery The focal position of ptiiloso-. phy is shown by its inclusion in three divisions of the Upper Col lege, viz. natural science, social science, and humanities. Yet the absence of philosophy courses from high school and freshman curricula leaves you rising jun iors less acquainted with the sub ject than with almost any other. So you naturally ask : Will I like philosophy? Will a philosophy major lead to what I want? Let us consider these questions in turn. In the subjects already stu died, whatever their nature, were you more interested in the fundamental principles, the basic why and wherefores, than in the factual details? Were you more concerned about the bearingof this subject on the whole field of knowledge than about this par ticular subject merely in itself? If so, you will like philosophy. A major in philosophy can lead you to various goals. It will prepare you for the several years of graduate study usually required for a college or univer sity teaching position in philoso phy. It will give you a valuable foundation for the graduate study of law, medicine, or some subject begun in your college course, if you want orientation badly enough to postpone; inten sive specialization a little longer. If you are one of the great majo rity whose academic life ends after four college years, a major in philosophy will help you not so much to earn a living as to find meaning and significance in the living you earn. ' Corresponding to the three di visions mentioned above are three major programs in philo sophy: for the natural science major history of philosophy, lo gic, and philosophy of science; for the social science major his tory of philosophy, logic, and ethics; for the humanities major history of philosophy, aesthetics, and philosophy of religion. But each program calls for about six courses in philosophy, six other , courses in the division, and six more outside the division. G orresponde n c e Letters Should be Signed and Limited to 250 Words Grades and Cheating To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel : I read with much interest and approbation in the Carolina Magazine Stuart Rabb's article on cheating. I heartily agree with his suggestion that the system of grades be changed to a system of individual initiative. Under the present system the most conscientious are forced at times to work for a grade. But until that time comes, when we can have a different system, something else will have to be tried. My suggestion has probably been made beforehand I have been too lazy to read ar ticles on the subject in the Daily Tar Heel and the Maga-' zine. I have two courses for the Student Council (and I don't think anyone can cheat on them). The first is that if a stu dent is caught cheating on a quiz or examination, he shall be made, not just allowed, to take the quiz or examination over un der strict supervision. If that is not effective enough, I would suggest making him take the course over. Since the Univer sity likes to say that the stu dent's own work is behind his diploma, this would actually be true with all students caught. For those who are not caught, the same thing happens to them as does under the present, the proctor, or any other honor sys tem. Making a student take work over, would be quite de terring without "particularly stigmatizing him. The second suggestion : See ing that the purse is about the most sensitive organ of a man's personality (or - a woman's either), I would suggest twenty five cents a word fine on the cop ied material. Fines are collect ed on overdue library books ; why not on other offenses? Of course both of these ideas de pend on their enforcement, but so does any' disciplinary system. Well, I guess that I have over shot my 250 words, and I cer tainly enjoyed reading what Sand and Salve Rabb had the grit to say. WM. T. WHEAT.

"" ' Behind The Wheels frf' 5 -v - f hi: 7 : i 4 n Albert Ellis ' By Bob Perkins Last fall a freshman sidled up to Albert Ellis. After introduc ing himself, the freshman stat ed that his brother had known Albert, and since he was ambi tious and wanted "to get some wheres on this campus" he was looking Albert up first thing. Albert's political and activi ties career, which has made him a power on the campus started nearly five years ago. When Al bert first landed in Chapel Hill, he became discouraged and wanted to quit school. But fresh man elections came along be fore he had a chance to depart and Albert's roommate, Ralph Gardner, was running for presi dent of the freshman class. Changed Around Two upperclassmen approach ed Ellis and started telling him what a bad character Gardner was and why he should not be elected. Albert got hot under --the collar and defended his friend. From then on he ceased thinking of quitting school and became an advocate for cleaner and better politics on the cam pus. ATs experience with politics got him interested in campus activities. In his sophomore year he served on the Inter dormitory Council and took act ive part in "Y" work. Dormitory Improvements Besides being a member of the original steering committee of the newly organized Univer sity Party, Albert became the most active member of the Inter dormitory Council during his junior year. He started work on his policy to develop interest in dormitory life, and introduced plans which were eventually to change the .dormitory from a place to sleep into a social group more similar to a fraternity. Al was re-elected in his third year councilor for Old East, where he has been a permanent fixture for the past five years, be came treasurer of the Phi As sembly, served on the executive committee of the junior class, the Student Union Board, worked on the Buccaneer, and became a charter member of the Univer sity Club. Leads Dormitories With the opening of his senior year Albert became president of the Interdormitory Council, per manent secretary of his class, and speaker of the Phi. He was instrumental in forming plans for the first Student-Faculty Day program, and served on the Human Relations Institute com mittee. By this time Albert was the big political leader on the cam pus. He started a campaign which put every man his party was pushing into office. Today he still laughs about an incident which happened during that spring election : Ben Proctor was organizing a political party to oppose the University Party. Albert sent his henchman, dry-humored Bill Henderson, over to see what was being done at the meeting. An hour later Bill came back. "What happened?" demanded Albert. "Nothing much," replied Bill, "they just elected officers." "Was anyone important elect ed?" coaxed Albert. "I was made secretary," was the answer Albert Ellis believes that since politics are going to exist on the campus, it is best to have an organization which will pick, and be capable of backing, the best men on the campus for the vari ous offices. SAND AND SALVE By Stuart Rabb Headline: THREE LAWYERS GET $1,000,000 FEE FROM CHRISTOPHER REYNOLDS, AGE THREE-AND-ONE-HALF To Valiant Barristers Benet Polikoff, William Graves, and Dallas McClennan, these rerses are dedicated. Good work, boys you did your duty, ' Now gather around and split up the booty, With clever devices and objec tions staccato, You saved the day for Reynolds Tobacco! Though Chris didn't know what it was about, You fought for his share with manner devout. Seven million dollars was set as his portion Of his Dad's twenty-eight with due devotion. And now you've made Chris a man of leisure No work for him, he's a child of pleasure, With money for yachts and nolo ! and mansions All from his magic and sizeable pension. Then when the case was decided and won, . You boys turn about to have your fun. Wilson Warlick gave you fifteen percent, A "reasonable" fee so they say, content. Now take here the moral, you students of law, Don't defend criminals, they're much too raw. But do your work for babes and the dead And retire on one case, with breakfast in bed. Wang Selects Prize William H. Wang, who won the second prize in the student library contest, has selected Dr. A. P. Hudson's "Humor in the Old Deep South" as his prize. It was presented to him by the Bull's Head.
