For This Issue News Editor: W. Arey; Sports: R. Simon; Act ing City Editor: Voit Gilmore. To Help Something Better Grow o At Sea How is the new student government system of honor councils working? Except for men on the new honor courts, no one knows, Following the mass cheating episode just 12 months ago, the student body reorganized its pro cedure for administering the honor system. A sub-structure of four class councils, working un der the Student Council, was set up to spread re sponsibility for student government. Proclaimed the greatest experiment of recent years in the administration of the honor system, the sub structure councils began functioning this fall. The second quarter of their "functioning" is drawing to a close. It is about time1 that the campus gets a report from the Student Council on the efficacy of the new class council sub-structures, isn't it? Tomorrow Plans Begin Tomorrow the registration committee will be gin plans for spring registration to pass on to Registrar T. J. Wilson, Jr., who will pass them on to the students. Most all the deans who at tend will have ideas for improving the present system of long-line-to-register, long-line-to-get-class-tickets, long-line-to-pay-bill. The committeemen will have idealistic hopes. They are good, and will ultimately work to a solu tion of the problem. But while the Utopia is be ing achieved there are immediate reforms that will help. The Husbands-Griffin suggestion of more stu dent initiative in registration, and the use of dup licate registration cards, is intended to slice many minutes of impatience off the student's registra tion procedure. Equally important, it would ef fect greater administration efficiency and econ omy. Lots of good could come from a well-thought-out plan at tomorrow's meeting V. G. No Substitute Roy Armstrong's "Pre-college 'Guidance'' of fice up in South is this week getting out a keen sheet of Carolina pictures for the express bene fit of high school seniors who might want higher education. Last year administrative officials talked about the lack of local literature "advertising" attrac tively the University to prospective students. Plans were made for a special edition of the Caro lina handbook (which is generally sent only to men ' who have definitely had their credits ac cepted). The plans fell through. ;The new picture folder is really a fitting piece to go with Mr. Armstrong's smooth contact of ficealso a fitting piece of University literature to supplement the picture-less catalogue. Might not discard the handbook idea, even so; that 80 page book is still the most complete presentation of student life at Carolina published. J. M. S.

O Menu To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: Since the opening of the new ly renovated Swain hall this past September, improvements in the service and appearance of the cafeteria have been very much in evidence. The recent addition of more bus boys and a rearrangement of the tables have drawn most favorable criticism from all quarters on the campus. But in his haste to elaborate upon the looks of the hall, man ager Haywood Duke has notice ably failed to increase his varie ties of meats and vegetables, many of which are served sev eral times a week. Swain hall has gained a con siderable following on the cam pus ; it can almost be said to have a monopoly in its field. If Swain hall is to continue to be the leading cafeteria at this KILOCYCLE KIBITZES By Carl Pugh WBT 1080 kc.

H. L. O Flunking Out To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: According to the Daily. Tar Heel, one fifth of our sopho mores failed to pass enough work last quarter to be eligible for winter admission, and one eighth of our undergraduates faile dto pass enough work to remain in school without read mission. Why? To one of our professors I once suggested that it might im prove the economic difficulties of this University if our author ities increased the fee for out-of-state students, some of whom we suspect of choosing this school because of comparatively low expense. "But," replied the professor, "even more than mon ey, this University needs well prepared students; and high schools in many other states (es pecially those north of the Ma son and Dixon line) are so equipped that they can and do SAND AND SALVE By Stuart Rabb STRAW IN THE WIND Senator Josiah Bailey of North Carolina put in a shrewd blow against Mr. Roosevelt's court-packing scheme Friday. Chairman Ashurst of the Sen ate judiciary committee had the floor. The President's plan was "the mildest" of proposals. Sena tor Ashurst could not but "mar vel at the President's modera tion." Then rose our Senator Bailey. Several weeks ago Mr. Ashurst had made a speech about Mr. Roosevelt's plans. "It is ridicul ous, absurd, and unfair to imply that the President intends in creasing the membership of the Supreme Court." Senator Bailey quoted Mr. Ashurst most embarrassingly. The move gave a keen insight into how confident the Senate was in its belief that the Su preme Court would not be pack ed. This confidence has been de stroyed. Mr. Ashurst prides him self on his inconsistency. After all, how could he know what the President was going to do? Birthday Greetings Today to John Walton Garrett George Riddle TOMORROW William Penn Croom Buster MacNeil Solon Minton Henry Edwin Smith Bernard David Spar Haywood Sparger William Quaes Stigelman Jr. William Alonzo Winstead. Quill Quips by Mac Smith prepare their pupils for college work, while many of our North Carolina high schools are so poorly equipped that it seems they do not and can not prepare pupils for such work. Do let us have from somewhere students schooled sufficiently to hold up our scholarly standards, without which there is little or no reason for the existence of the Univer sity of North Carolina." Weak Spot Thus the weak spot of our University, it seems, is the grad ed schools not only of North Carolina, but of the entire South, and one cause of this weakness is the low economic status of this region, from which most of our students are drawn. The fact' is that the further south one goes in these United States the lower are the wage and the income levels. That is so significant that the federal authorities, in their recent ef forts to distribute buying power, found it necessary to make a wage differential against the South, else the established eco nomic order would be so upset by federal pay checks that few, if any, private industries in the South could remain in business. For the causes of this region al low wage and low income it is fruitful to study foreign trade laws and other federal govern mental policies discriminating against agriculture, the basic oc cupation of the South and the chief source of exports of the Nation. For a century the South, with its unprotected ex ports of cotton and tobacco, has less and less been able to pay for adequate manufactured goods protected by higher and higher tariffs. Nor has this re gion been able to cope with low prices paid for agricultural products many of which were sold to European countries de (Conthuied on last' page) Error. Sophomore Sam Hobbs had a grandfather who was taken pri. soner by the Yankees during the Civil War, he tells us. By some strange chance the Confederate soldier got hold of a copy of Victor Hugo's "Lei Miserables" in the original French. One prisoner had just settled down to translating the heavy volume when, up to him fast dashed his Yankee guard, bayo net in action. To shreds he tore the French book, cursing. He stalked off fiercely: "Some more of that damn Confederate code." Authority. Someone was re-telling the memorable incident back in 1930 when Lamar Stringfield was conducting the symphony or chestra for a Playmakers show. After one particular break in the evening's program the or chestra men climbed back down into their pit. The last man wan dered in, sat down before his music stand and commenced ta tune his instrument. He shook in his coat-sleeves for the door to the pit was open for draft. The cello player near the door stepped over to close it. Up rush ed a slickly tuxed freshman who was ushering for the Playmak ers. Importantly he informed the 'cellist that the door had to remain open to air the dressing rooms below in the rear. To the scene came a couple of violin boys : "That is a most chill wind, young man." The youth stood firm on the open door. A basson hustled over: h& didn't see any reason at all why the door could not be shut . . . In the meantime the audience out front and waiting grew rest less. Mr. Stringfield, the young baton waver who so brilliantly was directing his orchestra, was annoyed at the commotion at the door. In two short steps he was in the midst of the group telling the boy, more or less, (Continued on last page) Hit Of The Week V ' I Ben Husbands The Man With Plans for speeding up the University's re gistration procedure is Ben Hus bands, friendly and ef fecient as sociate registrar. A Carolina graduate in 1927, Husbands in augurated last summer the pro gram of holding personal inter views with out-of-state students seeking admission to the Univer sity. He is responsible for num erous studies of the composition and representation of the Uni versity's student enrollment, and favors adding prof essors' names next to the 'courses they teach on the class schedule. Husbands is probably the most popular administrative official in the registration office.
