Sports: E. T. Elliot To Help Something Better Grow o Term Papers (Guest Editorial by Prof. E. J. Woodhouse) Many students in this University have two term papers in one quarter and some have three. Each of these papers requires much extra reading and a good deal of time and effort for the writing of it. It is almost impossible for even the abler and better prepared students to' dp j ustice to these essay subjects and to keep up his regular course . work. ' ; . ; - Often the student is supposed to do so-called ; research work for a term paper on a special nar row problem when he much more needs to do " wider reading in that courses and thereby to ac quaint himself with the literature and the gen eral problems of the subjects covered by the course. Most students in any course know too little of the general field of the course to-allow them to spend enough time to write ,a good term paper and also to gain an adequate introduction to the subject matter of the course. Thus term papers sometimes reduce the usefulness to the student of the course in which the paper is re quired. Or, if both term paper and the work in the same course are given the time and effort required to do them well, other courses are neg lected. Students frequently try to excuse them selves for inadequate work in some of their courses by saying they are writing term papers for other courses. No term paper should be required in a course except for definite benefits thereby to be achieved. No student should be allowed without special per mission from some responsible authority to write more than one term paper in a quarter. Each course requiring a term paper should be so de scribed in the catalogue. Just now the require ments of a term paper is a fashion followed blindly in. many courses and frequently much to the disadvantage of the student in those and other courses. ; . Behind the Lines ; South building is becoming aware that Ben Husbands has studied the bad stitches in the woof ;of its present registration system and that with :his ideas of reform he is pulling at the master ; thread. Deans that form the registration com mittee say they are glad to hear of a plan that will disperse students faster and save their own nerves each registration time. That's healthy! It would be easy for officials to resent a change of a system rooted through several years of use. But not ours. Everyone realizes the room for improvements, and is glad to have the suggestions of one who knows. . . The Husbands ideas aren't revolutionary, either. The administration can save money, save time, and its own dear patience, and it can do it all this quarter! V.G. One of our coed friends doesn't think much of - this night photo contest.

COMMUNITY cAlong Radio Row By Erwin Darlington There is circulating over the campus a rumor of the advoca tion of a 50 or 100-watt radio broadcasting station that would be erected here for the interest, convenience, and necessity of the students of the University of North Carolina. "The power of the station would be low, although powerful enough to serve its purpose. A 50-watt transmitter would send signals clearly for a radius of approximately 10 miles. How ever, the primary and most im portant coverage would be Chap el Hill. "The purposes of the estab lishment of the radio station, as sumedly, would be three fold, namely: (1) It would serve as an or gan of publicity for the Univer sity. Events occur on the cam pus daily that are never known by the student, much less resi dents of Chapel Hill, outside of the columns of the Daily Tar Heel. It would bring to the stu dents all type of high class en tertainment, which would result in enjoyment never before real ized. (2) The radio station could be a workshop for a course in Ra dio Broadcasting. Other colleges over the country are offering such courses. It would give to students practical experience in announcing, program directing, script writing, and etc. The plan could work in conjunction with the Department of journalism. (3) The station would offer an opportunity for the employment of self-help students. This would greatly help the present short age of self-help work on the campus. "The question now arises about financing this plan. The University, could purchase equip ment at a low cost. The operat ing costs? The University could furnish the needed electrical .current. Surely, any advertiser would grasp the chance to con tact students directly through the medium of radio. Then, those who enroll in the school of Radio Broadcasting would con tribute, by means of fees, to the treasury of the station." The originator of this plan evidently has something that can be worked on if he can obtain cooperation from the faculty and the student body. It would give students a chance to display their abilities; it would add to the prestige of the University.

SAND AND SALVE By Stuart Rabb AND SO TO WORK , The key to the General Motors strike the settlement to which both parties agree is said to be: (1) Recognition of the United Auto Workers of America a col lective bargaining agent for its own members; (2) Guarantees that the cor poration will not discriminate against the Union. There is some ironic humor in this two-point settlement be cause the General Motors cor poration promised Mr, Lewis s union exactly the same guaran tees before the strike began. These offers were made again on .the first day of the strike and were repeated several times. Finally after three weeks of bitter fighting, resulting in pain ful injuries, in irreparable en mities between labor factions, and in the loss of millions of dollars to auto workers, Mr. Lewis's minority strikers are about to fold up. What did Messrs. Martin and Lewis demand? (1) Recognition of UAWA as sole bargaining agent for Gen eral Motors employees. (2) A 30 hour week with five six-hour days. (3) Establishment of mini mum pay rates. (4) Abolition of piece work. (5) Mutual agreements on the speed of assembly lines. (6) A system of collective (Contvnued on last page) KALEIDOSCOPE By Tom Stanback In interesting contrast to the recent campus coed drive is the stand taken recently by the men on the Tulane campus. Hand bills were circulated and every possible effort was made to pre vent the entrance of women up on the campus. The dissenters say that the women "get in their way." Students at Wake Forest made good use of their Christmas holi days. Reports show that the Deacons worked 42,000 hours during the yuletide season, earn ing a total of more than $11,000. t Why is it professors can wear purple ties Haphazard haircuts and coats the wrong size, " Trousers too short and the color scheme vile,, Yet flunk me in English because of my style? Daily Mini. "If you really want to do your best in an examination, fling away the book the day before and say to yourself sincerely, 'I won't waste another minute of this miserable thing, and I don't care an iota whether I succeed or not'!" says President Wal ters of the University of Cincin nati. Coeds at the University of Utah recently became quite con scious of the unhygienic effects of kissing. In harmony with the trend of the day they declared a strike. The men, not to be out done, retaliated with an organ ized hold-out against all dates. Negotiations have been success fully carried out now, however, and harmony is restored.

Not long ago a student was ejected from McGill Uni versity because he was alleged to be improperly dressed. His clothes followed the convention al style except for an open necked polo shirt and a white pull-over sweater. Freddy at W.C.U.N.C. A series of W. C. U. N.

Ju WiU play morrow night, February 20, and two oth er dances to be held next month. Not In The News Campus Notes & Comment By Mac Smith MAN Leon Trotsky, chief Russian unmentionable come west to the New World this year, is being mentioned as a speaker both for the Human Re lations Institute and for the Carolina Political Union. More favorable attitude: the C.P.U.. "If he'll leave Mexico for the United States, we'll try to get him," declare the Union executives, Frank McGlinn en masse. GUESTS Both Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alf Landon are on the invitation list to attend the C.P.Us birthday party. Brother Jim Farley's pres ence may have to do. FIDDLE Unannounced was the fact that Stuart Chase was the first choice for the Weil Lec ture Series this spring. Economist Chase, on special coal mine investigation for Gov ernor Earle of Pennsylvania, couldn't come. Secretary of Ag riculture Henry A. Wallace ac cepted. FAIR Why not be fair to everybody and bring Dave Clark (who says Carolina is the home of communism, free love, and atheism) to the Relations Insti tute? So asked Dean Carroll and others last week. Immediate objectors declared that they were the Conservative, and that if Mr. Clark came he would be classified as represent ing the Conservative. That would be distinctly unfair to the Conservative, they said. Mr. Clark hasn't been asked. BIG Detailed description of the new gymnasium and its "nice" swimming pool reveals one point for braggadocio: the new pool will be the largest "State University" pool in America. The famous Yale pool (not Bowl, see?) is 157 ft. Ours will be 165. But Navy's got us all beat, by inches, say the local athletic officials. Special feature of the Yale pool is its adjustability. One enti can be moved to fit the pool for any length swimming race I RADIO Important figure the "go-between" in arranging the Columbia broadcast of Tom my Dorsey from the German club dances tonight was Nancy Smith, junior coed music stu dent. ! Nancy's the one who has been figuring with Lee Vickers, WDNC manager, for a Chapel Hill Columbia studio. .
