THOMAS: FOOD FOR THOUGHT Mr. Thomas has visited Chapel Hill once more. Memorial hall was packed in the evening, Murphy in the morning. And the rest of the visit was vir tually a solid string" of "bull sessions" for the many questioning students and teachers. Every one was interested in the Socialist leader's being here. It pleased a number of persons who have heard Mr. Thomas on his last several visits that his evening address was more of a running commen tary on specific current issues than a regular, elaborate presentation of his Socialist position. Mr. Thomas probably so chose to make his '38 Memorial hall speech. What we particularly liked about Mr. Thomas was the ease and dignity with which, during the course of the whole- visit, he presented his point of view and discussed its practical implications. Probably the most significant question one which came up several times and on which Mr. Thomas joined with his listeners in admitting the difficulties concerns the adjustment of Control, which must accompany a planned economy, with the Individual expression for which Mr. Thomas stands so strongly. How can you keep from hav ing a totalitarian state if you have to have con trol, and you have to have control if you have planning ? There is an element of truth which must be considered in the story of the metropolitan soap box orator who, after having juicily paraded the Park Avenue delicacies of plank steak and Straw berry Short-cake as contrasted with the prole tartan crumbs, shouted bravely to his 'overalled audience : newsreels of the Memorial Day Incident or whatnot. If the com mittee's ideal were realized if everybody would go see the newsreel then go hear Girdler- then it would be a beautifully two-sided experience ' for the campus if Sir. Girdler chooses to discuss labor relations any way. Under such a circum stance, the CPU would be pleased, for surely there would result intense interest in what Girdler has to say. When Suma, the Japanese spokesman, came last fall as a CPU guest, ' no one sponsored films of the latest ; aggression against China the night before. Not that there wasn't justifiable cause for a Chinese viewpoint to be presented so that the picture would ' be more -complete ; but those on the campus seemed to want Suma at ease, and to speak freely without a feeling of a spirit-killing antagonism . . . Such was the thinking of those who wouldn't want Girdler to en ter the campus midst "see the truth about Girdler"; banners. A spirit of learning both sides is the world's best, and is ap propriate to Chapel Hill. So is courtesy. - And so the two groups anxieties merge into solution. The newsreels would be splendid; just as woul4 be un restrained talk by the head of Little Steel. Carolina's gentle men can settle that. Faculty Hears Athletic Proposals a (Continued from first page) specified in the new Southern conference rules.) 5. There shall be a scholastic requirement of 40 quarter hours, half C's or better, during pre ceding tnree quarters 01 resi dence, or 45 hours, half C's or better, if summer school. or cor respondence work is necessary in addition to three - regular quarters. (The 40 quarter hours is slight increase over the confer ence ruling.) i 6. There shall be no discrim ination for or against athletes in the award of jobs, loans, or scholarships, directly or indi rectly controlled by the Univer sity! 7. Any student representing the University in intercollegiate athletics or any other activities either as manager or as partici- bers of the staff in this division with reference to selection; ten ure, and salary scales as applies in other departments of the University. v 10. To facilitate the coordina tion of the extramural athletic program with the other educa- tional interests of the rjartiei- a pants, no contest shall be sched uled which interferes with any regular class duties, unless such a conflict is previously approved by the Committee of Undergrad uate Deans. The following propositions were approved as explanations or limitations of the regulations: Kule 1: It is understood that the one year residence rule does not apply to graduates of junior colleges duly accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Rule 5 : This regulation is to go into, effect one. year from the beginning of the quarter follow ing' the quarter in which these regulations are adopted. Rule 8: It is understood that the responsible committee in such matters will determine the period of disqualifications. Rule 10 : This regulation is hereby extended to all other ex tramural engagements scheduled by University activities and de partments. Women Students Plan Busy Quarter (Continued from first page) also planning a formal tea to be given early in February. Women living in the new graduate building will give a dance tonight. They are also planning to have a formal dance later in the winter quarter or in the spring. Bridge Party The Women's Athletic council is planning a benefit bridge party to be given soon. Miss Evelyn Barker, president, states that the money from the func tion will be used for new equip ment. - Initiations for Pi Phi and Chi Omega sororities will be held during February, with banquets given by both groups. Tentative plans for a formal dance at Spencer hall in the spring have been discussed, but no decision has been reached. , Spotlight On Amateurs With Coming Of Radio (Continued from first page) interested students, Ivey stated : "Utilizing the talent we find on amateur shows and in other stunt and theater performances, we can work towards the radio broadcasts and a goal. The stunt shows are a means to this end. Our first exhibition of prospec tive talent will be on Sunday night in Memorial hall when we'll have our first amateur program of the winter quarter Ivey is confident that his tal ent group offers unlimited op portunities for training and ex perience. He intends to regard each show as a sort of dress re hearsal for radio work. "I think that this will encourage more students to come out, with the rewards more obvious." Confident Confident that the students will pass upon the radio project, Ivey awaits the final decision before commencing to build up a "well knit radio show." He will need writers, actors, sing ers, and comedians. Thus, those people who want to invade the ether waves have only to see Pete Ivey. He awaits them most anxiously. An encouraging note to the more mercenary artists is Iveys avowal ,that his amateurs are amateurs only because they have no sponsor. "As soon as we can find them, we will immediately become authentic professional radio entertainers." "And that," said Ivey, "ought to give us a universal appeal Council To Act On Invitations POINT OF VIEW By Ramsay Potts Proceed from this premise: Intercollegiate ath letics is not educational. The structure of com- mercialism, advertising value, and overemphasis has been erected on the games themselves. Then it should be the policy of this University to recognize those facts. And to eliminate their., rather than erect artificial props to keep the cake and eat it too. NThe University, instead, declares athletic com petition to be of educational value. It is not. It is a release from ducation. It is a corollary to study. Alumni J3top pampering the alumni. Stop charging big gates and playing big games. Reduce the number of intercollegiate contests. Then talk about subsidization. But if those things were done, and games turn ed back to the students, there would be no need for subsidization. Then there would be no prob lems.

President Bob Magill said the council would only consider the wisest future policy of handling invitation transactions, and would not attempt to judge any possible charges of graft in the past. It was learned that Joe Pat terson, president of the present senior class, would be present at the meeting. Magill said that Harrison would probably not be present.

Four men, Robert, Ronald, Ralph and Rudolph, were play ing cards one evening. As a re sult of a quarrel during the course of the game, one of these men shot and killed another. From the facts given below, see if you can determine who the murderer and his victim were. Robert will not. expose his (brother's guilt. Rudolph had been released from jail on the day of the 3 iJ "1 -w muraer, airer navmg servea a three-day sentence. , , Robert had wheeled Ralph," a cripple, to the card game at Ronald's house. ' Rudolph had known Ronald for only five days before the murder. . Ralph had met Robert's father only once. The host is about to give evi dence against the murderer, whom he dislikes. . , The murdered man had eaten dinner on the previous night with one of the men who did not bowl with Ronald customarily. (OK, Pearl.) Answer to yesterday's quiz: Ten minutes to 3 o'clock. They were supposed to meet at o'clock, and saved 20 minutes in all, 10 on the trip to the station and an equal amount by not having to come back that dis tance. Mr. Norman Thomas hailed Chapel Hill as an "oasis of learning" in the opening of his address Wednesday night. That preceding afternoon Mr. Rex Winslow of Bingham hall released for publication his list of five reasons why 20 per cent of the students tak ing General Economics had failed during the fall quarter. In our "oasis, of learning" Mr. Winslow point ed out that the major cause of failure was "poor study habits." Other Reasons Number five on the list was "lack of interest in the subject." 'Number two was "lack of native ability and indolence." Mr. Thomas' observation and Mr. WinsloVs analysis appear side by side in yesterday's paper. Mr. Horace Williams disagrees with the opinion of both men. Students fail, he says, because they disagree with the educational system. Here a little of the responsibility is shifted onto the faculty's shoulders. Trees And Woods Thomas may have been looking too hard at the little squirrels playing under the trees. Winslow, on the other hand, too hard at his book of grades, and Mr. Williams at his ideal of Plato and his students. . - Whether our University is an "oasis." a mill for grinding out incompetency, or a mistake of modern civilization is a question of more than three dimensions. Our grandchildren may have the answer. Letters To The Editor Over 250 Words Subject to Cutting Boosting Thomas To the Editor Dear Sir: When the question of rossibte rnnHidatPs for honorary degrees comes up for consideration, I would like to place on the list the name of Nor man Mattoon Thomas. Mr. Thomas, who receiv ed his higher education at Princeton' the Union uivsicai seminary, and the New York slum areas, has long been a defender of individual li berty. During the war years he was one of the few individuals who' refused to be led astray by Jingoistic propaganda. His record in defense of uvu nomy during that trying period and in the jrera since then has been a notable one. I think it would be a fitting tribute to award an honor ary degree to such an individual, and there are many others on the campus who think likewise. Yours truly, Trez Yeatman - An Unnecessary Act m , - January 13, 1933 To the Editor Dear Sir: The University of North Carolina has long been an oasis of liberalism," and has been frequently recognized as such.
