For This Issue News Editor: Bill Jordan To Help Something Better Grow Ideal Site Today N the mathematics department will give freshmen a chance to work off elementary math courses by their showing on special examination. High scores will enable the new men to pursue ad vanced studies in math, or even electives in other fields. .- i . I , For several years now the French and English departments have been using placement tests to enable freshmen to pick up their work at Carolina . where they left off in the secondary schools. This j f all saw tests being1 given in social science, Span ash, math, and possibly on request in other de partments of the University. New men who show sufficient preparation to make their freshman courses mere repetition will be allowed to enter advanced classes, and in many cases to receive University credit for the work omitted. Regimentation Ended Hearty commendation should be given the ad ministration's liberal view in the matter. The present experiments follow many years of cru sading by certain departments - to "place" their new students. When every one of our departments undertakes to find the right speed for each of its students, then we'll have a school where eager scholars will not be cramped by "slow" classes, nor ill-prepared classmates. Then the University will be less and less the vicious, machine into which multifarious f rosh are inserted on the same lathe. J. M. S. Discriminate! Tonight George Steele's Dialectic Senate and Frank McGlinn's Philanthropic Assembly hold their first meetings of the year, and according to long precedent will' probably lay plans to entice freshmen into' their organizations. These groups are literary societies, whose purpose is to train members in the art of speaking and debating. Undoubtedly these societies do some good for their members. But with most of the campus ac tivities getting under way this week, many organ izations seeking additional membership from the freshman class, it is time that the freshmen start ed deciding just what they want from college, where their interests lie, and from which groups they will be benefited most. Know What You Want Campus organizations are worth joining only if they lie in fields in which one is interested. If a man joins a campus activity, he should do so only because he is interested in the work and is willing to continue steadily in the organization through- . out the year. It is a loss to go through the old ' routine of joining organization groups, attending a few meetings, and then becoming bored and joining the hosts who have dropped out because their interests lay in other fields, and because they joined, just for the dubious campus honor of being an organization-joiner.

SAND AND SALVE By Stuart Rabb WORDS VERSUS SILENCE Many Democrats and some Republicans are saying that the less Alfred Landon talks, the more votes he will get. And the same group admits that Frank lin Roosevelt's popularity in creases . with the frequency of his speeches. Even the stoniest' of hard rock Republicans must admit that Roosevelt has the greatest personal magnetism of any po litical leader in recent times. The "Little Man from Topeka," on the other hand, talks monoto nously and minces ineffectual gestures. Less than two months sepa rate us from the day of reckon ing. The contest resolves into a contest with Roosevelt saying as much as possible and Landon keeping everything he can to himself. If F. D. R. says more than Landon doesn't he'll have his four years of grace. And we shall see what we shall see. Hit Of The Week j Pete Ivey Number one man on the cam pus for the first week of school was Alfred Guy "Pete" Ivey, am bitious and hardworking direc tor of Graham Memorial, who entertained our new coeds Sat urday night by sponsoring the first dance in four years ever held in the main lounge of the Student Union. Probably the best known gen tleman oh the campus today, Pete came into prominence in his sophomore year in the Uni versity as a fast stepping box er. Elected to the editorship of the Buccaneer in his junior year he developed a subtle humor that has made him the most sought after-dinner speech maker on the campus. Besides working on the Buc caneer, Ivey has been a contrib utor to the Carolina Magazine and assistant editor of the Alum ni Review. If he continues as he has be gun, he will be the best mana ger of Graham Memorial we've ever had. Chapel Hill Student "Disgusted" With University Coed Regulations To the Editor: The Daily Tar Heel: - Although the idea expressed by John W. Frink in the Sunday Daily Tar Heel is not original, AIR YOUR VIEWS The editors of the Daily Tar Heel invite correspon dence from students, facul ty and townspeople on the present policies of the Uni versity administration which bar. freshmen and sophomore girls from enter ing Carolina. Letters should be signed ; but the author's name may be 'withheld, if requested, from publication. , I do not think that the point he made can be emphasized strongly enough. Neither this nor any other institution has the right to deny a college education to any girl who wants one. If the University wants to help the students who apply for admis sion here, surely the sensible way to treat them is not to tell them, "You can't come here even if your parents do pay taxes to support this college. Either you have to get enough money to go away to school, or you must do without any further training. The fact that you have a right to come here doesn't matter. Now beat it?" A little common sense could go a long way towards remedy ing this situation. A better edu cation for all would enable peo ple to reason better. Some of them certainly need to.

Katherine Lackey By Bob Perkins Recently the eight-year-old son of a prominent member of the faculty walked into Presi dent Graham's office and asked to see Mr. Frank. Katherine Lackey, who is Dr. Graham's secretary, informed the boy that President Graham was in conference and could not see him for the next hour or so. He looked so distressed that Miss .Lackey inquired what he wanted to see the president about. She was informed that he wanted 10 cents to go to trie pic ture show, and that Frank Gra-, ham was the best chance of get ting it. Miss Lackey talked to him a few minutes and then sug gested that he go back and try his father again. No Luck "Well, I will try, but I don't think there is much use," he said. As secretary to President Graham Miss Lackey is instru mental in carrying out our pres ident's open house policy in his office. She greets all comers with a smile, whether it be an out-of-work janitor or the gov ernor of a state. A native of Lexington, Va., Secretary Lackey received an A. B. in English at Flora MacDon ald, where she spent four years as a stenographer. She has lived in college towns. all her life and hopes, to do so always. She particularly likes Chapel Hill and believes it the most cos mopolitan place she has ever lived. "There is no phase of life which the president's office does not touch. Mail comes in from all four corners of the earth, and there is always a steady stream of interesting people stopping by." . Governors Too Last spring within half an an hour the governor of North Carolina, the U. S. Commissioner of Education, and the Ambassa dor of Mexico passed through her office. President Graham does not, as a rule, get his many engage ments mixed up, and so Miss Lackey was very upset last spring when the Associated Press called to find what had happened to Dr. Graham. It seems that he was supposed to have made an address before a large group in Richmond. He had left the office the afternoon before in a car for Richmond and was to spend the night with his sister. The following morning the committee in charge of the meeting was distressed to find that Dr. Graham was not pres ent. After half an hour of wait ing the chairman was forced to announce that Dr. Graham had failed to put in appearance. The meeting was called off. The Associated Press, sensing news, telephoned the Durham Herald-Sun and asked if the President of the University was all right.-The Herald-Sun tele phoned the University news-bureau and. repeated the question. The news-bureau r telephoned Miss Lackey and asked her where Frank Graham was. She, greatly alarmed and imagining him dead at the foot of an em bankment, telephoned Mrs. Gra ham. Mrs. Graham telephoned Dr. Graham's sister in Richmond and was informed that he was sitting in his sister's living room reading the paper. Yes, he had gotten the days mixed up and though he was to speak the next morning.

Howd you spend the summer?" Here's the substance of some of the answers 'return ed by Carolina students to in quiries, which at the opening of school are- as inevitable as "Where do you come from?" seems to be after a dance-floor introduction. To begin near the top of the alphabet, Randy Berg, Floridian, University club secretary, and several other things, went back to his home state, even though it was hardly the Florida season, to work in the Everglades. Johnny Walker, drama fellow and new Glee club business man ager, went in the opposite di rection and ended up in New England doing technical work for a summer theatre. Another Playmaker, Ruth Mengel, had a lot of fun and learned a lot about life by keeping her eyes open while she waited on tables in an Atlantic beach-hotel. Bob Gar diner, 880-man, broke training by falling off horses, drinking beer, socialiting, and building henhouses at his summer home on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Bob Nachtmann, star of "Paths of Glory," was out west playing in five or six shows a. day with a Globe Theatre com pany at San iDego. Map Smith went east, having finished his Freshman Handbook just in time to catch a boat on which he and an orchestra he'd organized made enough money to pay for their passages to and from Eu rope. South "went Lucy Watson, Nick Read and Dee Eldridge. Lucy enrolled in and attended a summer school in Mexico City, Dee enrolled in and did not at tend the same school, and Nick gadded about Mexico in general- Burr Leach, Playmaker, gain ed a lot of very helpful informa tion as a bar tender in Wash ington. Mollie Rumsey catered to the public too, collecting small change from the kiddies who rode the Lindy Chute at county fairs. . More tennis trophies added to an already sizeable collection are the material evidence of Ar chie Henderson's activities in the tennis wars, this summer. Horace Hamilton, varsity golfer, also picked up some tennis cups as a runner-up in three city tournaments held in Waming ton, where he- worked as an au tomobile mechanic. Counselloring at kids' camps was a popular job. Randy Reece taught 'em to swim at Camp Continued on last page) Are WBecoming Educated? when a man graduates ' from college he has learned the work he is fitted for, if he has gained some ideal of beauty, if he has delved deeply enough into himself have even a vague knowl edge of his own soul, if he has learned enough of the Pt to understand to some small degree the present, -and if he has gathered unto himself enough ideas of life to have a workable phUosoZ Vhy of living, he has begun . at least to learn to live. He has ihe rudiments of an education. If he continues to work, to-think, and to- ?Way' hy the srace, of bod, become a man. Percy Marks.
