SAND AND
SALVE
By Stuart Rabb
o Pile On More Wood
YESTERDAY THE trustees' executive commit
tee decided not to recommend that the Uni
versity Board of Trustees consider, the petitions
of our faculty and townspeople to allow local
girls to enter the general college here.
The action of the executive committee only
means that the coed problem will not be on the
pre-determined agenda of the next trustee meet
ing. The board itself may vote to consider the
petitions of our dissatisfied faculty and town
folk.: - , -
The proponents of admitting local girls will
take their case to the next meeting of the entire
board of trustees and ask for a special hearing.
Rome was not built in a day. The campaign to
extend coeducation here has just begun.
o Nuts
A STUDENT WAS complaining yesterday be
cause an acorn fell from one of the campus
oaks, rattled through leaves and limbs, and finally
popped him on his head. Rarely do falling acorns
strike students. When such an accident happens,
the head under the acorn realizes that the unusu
al has taken place and tells his friends about it.
As the acorns fall from the oak trees, so fall
lecture-words from the mouths of our professors.
Only rarely do these words make contact with a
listener. Students find the words uninteresting.
They let them fall to their notes as acorns fall
to the ground.
Then when all has been said, the words are
raked from notes and memorized, just as the
acorns might be raked into a pile. The words are
thrown back at the professor and if enough hit
. him, he gives credit for the course.. .
So get we our "education." -No student would
think of climbing the oak trees to shake the word
acorns down at the proper time. So we sit and
wait. Education is easy this way.
Somebody want to change? .Oh -that fellow.
Nuts! S. W. R.

CLASS MEETINGS Thursday night! With some
of that same new enthusiasm we observed
several days ago, Messrs. Parker,- Weaver, and
Company have started the very classes themselves
into a new consciousness.
This week's assembly call, coming from soph
omore, junior, and senior president simultaneous
ly, strikes a student body totally unused to recog
nizing anything like class spirit. And Thursday
night there'll be something worth having a meet
ing for the new class honor councils will be in
stalled during the evening's business These trib
unals, brain-infants of a scared student honor
committee sitting last spring, are being launched
on unchartered courses, with very little in the
rule books to guide or restrain them. What the
strong voice of the class has to say about their
functions may determine their effectiveness to
no little extent. Thursday night this rising spirit
we're touting will leave the isolated pioneers and
permeate the whole student body. J. M. S.
THE BANDWAGON ROLLS
Coming as a surprise to his
many friends mostly - Republi-,
cans Mr. James Warburg ex
perienced a change of heart over
the weekend. Mr. Warburg will
support Franklin Roosevelt for
re-election.
Anyone who read Mr. War
burg's vitriolic little volume
"Hell Bent for Election" will
find this news hard to believe.
Mr. Warburg wrote things about
Brother Roosevelt' that a man
would be ashamed to think about
his mother-in-law. He said the
president was "probably sincere,
but hopelessly deluded."
And now Mr. Warburg has
come dragging back. Mr. War
burg is not the first and will not
be the last to get on the Roose
velt bandwagon. That vehicle is
just getting under way.
And when the wagon begins
rolling, nobody can stop - it.
Everybody likes to be on the
winning side.-
Are We Becoming
Educated?
(R. H. Thouless)
It should be one of the aims of
education to produce a quality
that we may describe as "flexi
bility of mind," an ability to try
out new ways of thinking and to
make unfamiliar assumptions.
This means that we must be able
to put on one side our old
thought habits. ". V . We are ac
customed to a particular form of
the marriage relationship. ; We
must ask: "Is this the only pos
sible one? Would other kinds of
relationships be better or worse
in securing the ends for which
marriage exists?" . .-. It is only
by unceasing flexibility of mind
that we can continue to adapt
ourselves to our ever-changing,
environment. Inflexibility - of
mind will lead to the extermina
tion of the human race.

To the Editor,
The Daily Tar Heel:
"If the University- of North
Caroling expects to continue to
hold its 'high place among the in
stitutions of higher learning in
this coiintry, then the Univer
sity must provide adequate fa
cilities in the field of health' and
physical education to care for its
increasing student body. This
means that a new gym must be
built in! the immediate future,"
said Mr. O. E. Cornwell, head of
the Physical Education depart
ment, when I discussed with him
the need of a new gym on the
campus.'
The present gym is obsolete
and it does not have the facili
ties to satisfy the needs of the
student body. The gym is very :
small; it is filthy and insanitary;
not over a few students at a
time can endure the meager fa
cilities; the swimming pool is
nothing more than a dirty ditch 'r
the showers and lockers would
hardly satisfy the peasants of
the middle ages; and it is a vir
tual fire trap.
; Outgrown
At the time this gym was
built, fewer than one thousand
students were enrolled in the
University. This year more than
three thousand students are reg
istered. The student body is
growing, and the recreational
facilities are lagging behitfd our
scholastic level.
Last year the University in
augurated the Physical Educa
tion department. sMrJCornwell
says, "They are taught physical
' education, how to pay games, -the
appreciation and value of
recreational exercisfe, and indi
vidual competition They- will
want to continue uieir interests
in the sports why. h they enjoy
WE INVITE COMMENT
The editors of the Daily
Tar Heel invite corre-
spondence this week from
campus citizens on the
problem of getting a new
gymnasium. Letters should
bear the author's name,
and, if over 250 words, are
subject to cutting.
even as upper classmen." It is
foolish to undertake this fine
program unless we have facili
ties that are easily available for
the use of every student. How
can the-students profit much by
their early training if the gym
equipment is not available? In
convenience is also. an important
factor in our failure to use the
present gym. During the fall
and the spring, part of the intra
mural and intercollegiate sports
are well suited to the outdoors;
but during the winter, the ma
jority of the games and sports
are played indoors.
Alone
There are very few schools in
the country that lack a gym to
serve the needs of their student
bodies. The students on the
campus feel the lack of a mod
ern gym to the extent that they
seldom use the present antiquat
ed one. The gym does not have
equipment for modern games
ordinarily played at the average
university. - '
Recently the plans for a new
gym were drawn. Part of the
cost was to be paid by the Public
Works Administration. But the
Public Works Administration is
not going through with the con
struction because Chapel Hill
does not have local relief labor
to work ' on the pro j ect. Al
though this new gym project is
still pending with the govern-
: ment, it is quite apparent that
Carolina will not receive any
financial assistance from this
alphabetical agency.
Plans Complete
The plans for the new gym
'include everything that is lack-
' ing to complete the athletic and
recreational equipment at the
University. -The building would
allow the Physical Education de
partment to serve the physical
needs of the entire student body
on the same high level of educa
tion upheld by the faculty in
serving the mental and spiritual
needs of the students. Are not
all extra-curricular activities a
part of education? A healthy
body and a healthy mind give
every youth an equap opportu
nity to better absorb what he is
being taught.
The new gym that was origin
ally planned would include the
following facilities and equip
ment: lockers and shower facili-
- ties for three thousand students ;
six squash and handball courts;
a boxing room with two rings;
a wrestling room with two mats ;
a fencing room; a swimming
' Pool, 65 by 160 feet; a main gym
room, 200 by 300 feet (this is
very important because there is
a dire need for a large floor for
dancing and other social activi
ties) ; offices for the Physical
Education department, both in
tramural and intercollegiate ath
letics ; and many unforeseen
things that will appear from
time to time.
The University cannot con
tinue its march of progress un
less it constructs a new gym as
described above. The present
gym would hardly be adequate
for the use of a small high school
with 1000 students.
