OPINIONS By Herbert Langsam
QUESTION : Do you favor the
establishment of a social room
in every dormitory?
Bobby Horton
Old West Dormitory)
"Yea, I think that a social
room would go a long way to
ward promoting a more congen
ial group among the boys of a
dormitory."
J. B. Gove
Old West Dormitory) .
"No the majority of the occu
pants of the dormitory would
not use the social room. In fact,
there is no practical use for it.
If a room is wanted for loung
ing around, the store already

"Fraternities have places
where they can have dates, en
tertain outside visitors, and get
together themselves and hold
bull sessions so why shouldn't
dormitories. The large majority
of students live in the dormitor
iesso in order to supply the
benefits for the large majority
of students, the dormitories
should be equipped with social
rooms. -
Also
Column to the right, representative students
have expressed their opinion on the idea of Social
Rooms for every dormitory.
With the majority we agree. Lounges in each -dorm
where bull sessions can be carried from the
student's room, where dorm residents can put on
a little "fraternity home-lif es" dog this is the In
terdormitory Council's heavy objective, and it's a
good one, no lie.
Similar progress is being made in every other
big University in America. J. M. S.
.' 100 Years Per Minute
To the freshmen yesterday morning Dr. Swa
lin lectured on the history: of music. .Because of
time limitation Dr. Swalin was forced to cover
100 years per minute.
Such rapid coverage of material is quite under
standable in a short lecture.
But when entire courses are presented in the.
space of one quarter, when a study which can
scarcely be appreciated in a year are compressed
into a few short weeks, there are many unpleas
ant results.
In the first place, many significant details
must be skipped over. The course must be dessi
cated and, the residual matter crammed unmerci
fully into the student faster than he can assi
milate it. Oftentime the student, as well as the
professor becomes disgusted and turns against
the whole subject.
Professors say that not only three-Hour gen
eral college courses, but five-hour courses in ad
vanced English, French, German, Spanish, Eco
nomics, History and many other subjects can be
best presented on the all-year plan. Why not give
the long-term idea a try?. S. W. R.

Fifteen college students from America will be
sent to Geneva next summer for an eight-weeks
seminar on international relations. Students from
all over the world will be there. Mrs. Andrew Car
negie is honorary president of the affair; Gilbert
Murray from Oxford, the actual head of the pro
gram. ' ' .
That Carolina has an excellent chance to be
represented in the European delegation might be
drawn from the special note sent Dean House by
John Knox, student's International Union leader
who is in charge of selecting the American group.
Mr. Knox explains that he is an alumnus of the
University and "very anxious" that a strong can
didate be recommended from Chapel Hill.
Should the Carolina' candidate be sent abroad,
which doesn't seem at all impossible, local budg
etary arrangements might be worked out. Prece
; dent is promising. Note the healthy send-off for
debaters to England MacMuHan and Seawell, also
for-Peace-maker Phillips Russell last winter.

"A dormitory social room is
not only useful, but downright
necessary. I, for one, am sick of
talking to visitors on the steps,
and embarrassed at not being
able to take them inside."
J. A. Cheek
Old West Dormitory)
'Yes, a social room would be
a good place for informal get
togethers, dates, and creates a
more home-like atmosphere.'
K. Faldstach , ,
Graham Dormitory)
."Most assuredly. A room of
this sort would create a better
fraternal relationship among the
residents of the dormitory."
Franklyn Lowenthal
(Everett Dormitory)
"No, there is too much noise
right now. With the social room
the dormitory would be unbearable."
Stanley Schneeweis
Everett Dormitory)
"In my opinion ah thinks, no
school at all is better than either
social rooms in dormitories."
Carl Solomon
Mangum Dormitory)
"More work would be accom
plished as there would be a spec
ial reserved room for bull ses
sions. All students looking for
bull sessions will just know the
place to congregate and seek
pleasure in that delightful art.
Len Rubin

'Yes ! If it has a ping-pong
table and a billiard table to
boot." V

campaigned all year for "A Social Room in Every Dormitory."

F. G. Henderson
Manager of Carr Dormitory)
"Speaking for the members of
the law school and others room
ing in Carr building, I think
that I can express the over
whelming majority opinion best
by simply saying that we are
heartily in favor of establishing
social rooms in all dormitories.
"The well known 'bull session
is often out of place in a room
where one of the, occupants is
trying his best to brief cases for
tomorow's classes, and the noise
so created extends to nearby
rooms to the annoyance of oth
ers. The social room, which no
doubt would replace individual
rooms as the general 'bull hall
is one of the most progressive
moves which it would be possible
to make , in connection , with dor
mitory life on this campus today."
Joe Derrickson "
Manager of Mangum dormitory
where a social room already
- exists.)
"Our social room in Mangum
has proved to be of great use.
Not only should it be perpetuat
ed in Mangum, but such rooms
should be instituted in all the
other dormitories.
"It has been pressed into ser
vice all year as a place of study
and relaxation. As for the noise
it causes, I offer the ,word of
the boys who live near it they
say that only once all year were
they forced to complain about
the noise.
"Then too, this idea of a soc
ial room is new, and the field of
its use can be greatly expanded
by various improvements. A
door opening directly to the
street would be a great aid in
the entertainment of visitors."
H. R. Nigrelli and Ned MacKay
Mangum Dormitory)
"No -The matter presents too
great a distraction and tempta
tion to neglect our studies, a fact
which we are too highly sensi
tive to.". .

"Yes we feel that through
the dormitory social room a bet

between the students . and the

MEN OF STEEL
Madame Perkins of the Bos
ton tea-drinking, strike-settling
Perkinses is becoming quite ex
asperated at the big steel com
panies. Two weeks ago the gov
ernment asked the steel moguls
to submit bids on battleship fix
tures. Since then the invitation
has been repeated. No bids have
been received to date.
It happens that there is a cer
tain law in operation called the
Walsh-Healy act. Among other
things, the measure provides
that companies working on gov
ernment contracts shall not work
men more than 40 hours a week
unless time-and-a-half wages are
paid for the overtime.
The steel moguls do not like
the Walsh-Healy act. In fact
they have said that they will
have no truck with the Walsh
Healy. act. Therefore Miss Per
kins has been moved to make
several threats.
The first warning was the
government might build its own
steel factories, which is not such
a bad idea at that. But now Miss
Perkins says the government

'No let's put all our strength

great social hall to be used by

"Yes, there is a popular de
mand for social rooms. They
would be of inestimable value to
students and visitors."
