Joad) The best life for any organism . . . consists in the exercise of its distinctive faculties or talents at their highest pitch of development upon an appropriate subject matter. ... To forbid men to express their natures is to forbid them to realize all that they have it in them to be. . . . New Year's Daze THE UNIVERSITY registrar remains firm in scheduling January i as the first class day of - the winter quarter. . This ruling means that students will needlessly miss the New Year's fun back home, and the cam pus is voicing objections. January 1 is Friday. With no recess between the winter and spring quarters, examinations for the winter term might easily be postponed one day to allow winter classes to begin Monday, January 4. .We fail to understand why nothing has been done to correct this simple problem. o Off My Toe! HUNDREDS of dancers crowded into decrepit old Bynum gym Saturday night. Lack of floor space became painfully evident when your neighbor poked you with his elbows and stepped on your toes. ' v- it is horrible to consider just what would have happened had fire broken out in the obsolete old building. Bynum is far from being fireproof. Grail members did not choose Bynum gym for their dance because they have any affection for it. They had to take Bynum because it was either Bynum or the twice-condemned Tin Can. It costs plenty of money to make the Tin Can danceable. AH of which adds another degree to the Uni versity's acute need for a gymnasium. Until we get a gym, students must suffer physical discom fort overshadowed by the threat of disaster. S. W. R, - s , : - ' ' - - ' -, . o Socrates ASKED TO publish the fees, dues and assess ments imposed upon members by each frater nity on the Hill, the Interf raternity council last week wrangled its conscience into refusing such information being disseminated. The other f rats would announce the wrong "prices," each council member feared! Distrustful of each other, the council members could not authorize an official Interf raternity council schedule of fees for publication and con sequently two or three hundred freshmen, vitally concerned, are gonna have to do some tall talking or else luck out on blind pledging if they are to be satisfied with their fraternal financial obliga tions, a matter of no little import to many. If the frats refuse to open their rates to public scrutiny, then the freshmen themselves, when approached by the fraternity men on "shaking,'' ought to disregard their timidity and ASK. If the brothers are bidding for you they won't refuse to declare what's expected of you. J. M. S. CAhout January 1 Classes ANOTHER REVOLT To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: Without attempting to appear as a rebel, with out any attempt to wave the red flag of revolt, I wish to make known my protest against the rul ing that we students must come back to school on January 1. Naturally the Administration would not set that particular date as home-coming day if it had not sufficient reason to do so. Regardless of the expense involved, regardless of the disruption to schedules which a retarded return would make, I say regardless of these facts the question still remains "How much of the stu vdent body would return on January 1?" That is the crux of the matter. How many would return on a date which conflicts with a traditional holiday? Therefore the Administration would avoid dis ciplining about half of the student body and , would make for amiable relations if it advanced the return date a few days. Three or four days doesn't make such a terrible difference in one quarter. It is a well-known fact that the first three days are simply ones of orien tation, not of regular work. One final question: How much real work would be accomplished on those first three days with a discontented and rebellious student body? R. S. '' vO' I WONDER, SAYS BILL : 7-.: To the Editor, -' v The Daily Tar Heel: I am just thinking over the January 1 situa tion ; and I wonder, if the Christmas holidays can not be extended over to January 4, why could not three extra days be tacked on at the beginning of the. holidays? -That is, if it is so impossible to extend them to January 4. The winter quarter may be a short quarter, but the fall quarter is the longest in the year. Another thing I would like to know. Dr. Wilson said it was a rare mistake. I wonder if he would mind explaining why it is a mistake, and why it its rare. It may not do a lot of harm, but it cer tainly is not a very good advertisement for the University. A ' Wm. T. Wheat. - Ultimatum, Dr. Wilson To the Editor: The Daily Tar Heel: The student!1 body of this school has a perfect right to throw their opposition into the face of Duke Favors Joint Passbooks 1 The Di Senate recently recommended that a system of joint athletic passbooks be work ed out between Duke and Carolina. The fol lowing editorial in the last issue of the Duke Chronicle is a reply to Daily Tar Heel in quiries about the proposal. As yet athletic officials of neither college have taken action on the recommendation. Ed. Note. It is not often that two such leading education al institutions as the University of North Caro-' lina and Duke university are situated within such close proximity to each other that unlimited fer tile fields for research and study are available to those seeking intellectual enlightenment. When, two years ago, the graduate schools of both universities evolved a plan whereby libra ries on both campuses would be available for re search, great impetus was given to this coopera tive trend between Carolina and Duke, a trend which should be given every encouragement if the best purposes of higher education are to be met. Other Fields But there are planes other than those of a purely intellectual nature upon which Carolina and Duke can, and should meet, to bring about results mutually beneficial. One of these has been suggested by . . . the Daily Tar Heel, undergraduate newspaper at Carolina. Establishment of a system of inter-college student-ticket reductions for athletic cdntests is what . . . (the Daily Tar Heel) has just advo cated. In substantiating (it's)' entirely commend able argument, (the Daily Tar Heel) has pointed out that when Carolina's football team plays away from home, many Carolina students witness Duke contests here, and vice versa, Carolina Request The Daily Tar Heel asks that the two athletic departments permit the students of both univer sities to attend each other's contests upon pres entation of their athletic books and a nominal ad mission charge. In itself not a problem which will seriously dis turb the routine course of events on either cam pus if authorities do not heed this plea, still this matter is one which would mean a substantial benefit to football fans among the two undergrad uate bodies. If for no other reason, Duke should accord this recognition to our respected neighbors as a little courtesy. Extending a more welcoming hand to our ath letic contests will be but another way of instilling in the minds of students here and there, though Duke and Carolina are "bitter rivals" on the sport ing pages, in actuality they entertain most amica ble attitudes toward each other. Athletic depart ments atvboth universities should take steps to arrange this little "courtesy.1 ...CABBAGES end KINGS By Bill Hudson Registrar Wilson and demand that there be no classes on January 1. Registrar Wilson has taken it as a personal obligation to make a nunnery or a monastery out of this outstanding liberal school in the South. He deems it to personal pride to see that every student will get his extra hour of work in the winter quarter. But on January 1 there will be no classes here. The students here have begun a movement that would take the entire administration, backed by the legislature and that backed by the state mili tia, to stop. We demand some rights. We will get them. Change the opening date now, Mr. Wilson, and avoid developing complications. Jesse Caldwell. I SAND AND SALVE By Stuart Rabb date. He must cast his vote as part of a bloc for the candidate chosen for him by labor leaders. Of such are the Unions of Labor. In this day when-the biggest yelps are for class organization to protect special interests, the individual is lost. Socialists call complete "organization" a de mocracy. Others say democracy lies in individual freedom. Some body is wrong. RAD O By Bud Kornblite WHICH WAY? Mr. William Green wants two things very much: (1) Reconciliation with John Lewis' C.I.O. union; (2) Re-election of Franklin Roosevelt. Mr. Green needs objective number one to get objective number two. Likewise, both - factions may be brought closer together by realizing the neces sity of electing F. D. R. Thus has Mr. Roosevelt suc ceeded in bringing class hatred into thev election. Newspapers speak of the "Labor vote" as if a laborer were a unit rather than an individual. As such a unit, it is not the laborer's duty to consider the individual candi- Godfrey Arrives James Godfrey of Roanoke, Va., has been appointed to 'fill the post left vacant in the social science department by Dr. Rob ert D.

Long struggle yawningly into his bathrobe one morning and saun ter out to meet the German am bassador? And didn't he get away with it? That was an expression of good old healthy American indi vidualism (or maybe of just as good American laziness), the kind of individualism that helps along a fellow's natural inclina tion not to go to the trouble of giving a damn what the conven tional other fellow may do. And Carolina's reputation for , lib eralism holds good along these lines too. Carolina men are ar dent followers of the Great Kingfish's example in dress. They may come from the sticks and think at first that they've got to dress up for everything, but pretty soon they see the use lessness of this. They learn that this is a liberal place where you can do like you wanta. They Love Ballett Watch 'em crowd into Memo rial hall tomorrow night. (And they'll come all right, Mr. Har land, don't you worry. Seeing a bunch of pretty girls kicking their legs like they do in the movies is better any night than cramming for a quiz; and these foreign men are supposed to be pretty good, too. The whole out fit won a French cup in some sort of dancing World Series. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in "Swing Time" haven't got anything on 'em.) Yes, you'll see Carolina men in all their glory of individual ism, so individualistic that a lot of 'em will look alike. They'll come up in twos and threes,, mostly smoking cigarettes which their splendid indifference to censure will forbid their throw ing away before entering. Most all Carolina men smoke (but not all Camels and not all Chester fields), and a lot of 'em have to ease their nerves from the es thetic strain by lighting up dur ing performances. They drink like men, too, although, most of 'em save that for real big occa sions, like a Grail dance. Rainbow of Polo Shirts And it would delight dear old Rousseau's heart to see the way liberal Carolina educations have got them into the habit of self expression. This self-expression will be most noticeable in the widely-differing shades of their polo shirts. It's as if the light of their collective self-expres-. sion were sorted through the prism of their collective individ ualism, and the colors of the polo shirts represented their va rious indices of self-expression-ary refraction. It's a swell idea, but maybe they just wear what they put on. Tuesday to catch that 8:30. Anyway, you can count on plenty of color, and very little regimentation such as that implied in wearing a coat and necktie.. Carolina men won't be regimented. : . Rousseau would . probably like the beards too, for a num ber of reasons, especially the va rying lengths of them. Carolina, men don't all shave on Satur day; some of 'em have religious preferences for Sundays, others think Monday is best because it begins with capital "M," stand ing for masculinity,. and so on. The only trouble with beards is that Communists don't shave much either. These Carolina men may be individualists, and rebel against a lot of the fash-: lonable fol-de-rol of present so ciety; but, by Daddy Warbucksl. Continued on last page)
