For This Issue NEWS: LAFFITTE HOWARD SPORTS: WILLIAM BEERMAN Honors Course Defended Four years of college does not automatically usher a stu dent into the rigorous but exciting realms of scholarship. The University of North Carolina, however," offers its stu dents an open-sesame into these "realms"- by means of a formula not too well-known. ' The formula is. simply stated. It can be found tucked away on page 99 of this year's General Catalogue. It is the de scription of the Program of Reading for Honors. Each department has its particular Honors Course. The" student who aspires to become a Carolina scriol&r, as well as v the proverbial gentleman, may register for the Honors Course with the department's chairman, in the fall of his junior year. He is thereby given the privilege of working for the next two years with three faculty scholars who act as his' tutors, advisers, and, quite, possibly, his friends. - The : student reading for Honors in History, for example, takes the courses outlined for a regular history major. But since reading for Honors automatically entitles him to three course credits, he may devote the time left free from class room obligations to do special reading and studying on a subject of particular interest to him; such as "Bismarck's Alliance System," or the like. In the spring of his senior year, the Honors student sub mits a thesis to his Honors Course committee and is given an oral examination by them. If his thesis is sufficiently scholar ly and he passes the "orals" the student is graduated cum laude or cum magna laude (wth Honors) and presented with a degree he deserves. In the Honors Course program, the University gives any student who really wants it, the chance to do scholarly work. He can work and think independently and with freedom. He is given the privilege of- close association with faculty scholars who have trod before him. ' Such a course may even be more educational in the midst of the busy life we have here, than in the more popularly conceived environment for scholars: cloistered and monastic. Here, the scholar-to-be must not only train his mind and de velop intellectual self-reliance but must discipline himself to be highly selective of extra-curricular activity so as to re ceive the maximum of pleasure and growth from them, and the minimum of wasteful distraction by them. DeW. B. A Challenge A feature article in the Daily Tar Heel yesterday told of a Seeing Eye dog and her blind master on the University campus, and of how the faithful animal safely leads him through heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffc. The story naturally featured the dog, since the specially-trained guide is quite a rarity in North Carolina. - But the most remarkable aspect of the blind master and faithful servant is the determination of the master, as ex hibited by his possession of A. B., M. A. and Ph. D. degrees, to secure the most that education has to offer him. And there are others physically handicapped who are enrolled here, whose determination apparently cannot be dimmed by the restrictions nature has placed on them. We know of several other" blind students, of one student who has no lower arms, of numerous crippled ones. The State has made provisions to educate its physically handicapped, and many of them are seeking out every possibility offered. But this sort of praise could go on forever, and still, one would be unable to properly pay tribute to the determination of this group. The moral of the story must be applied to those who are physically well. Few of us are psychologically in clined to work as hard and. as consistently as these less for tunate persons, but we can do well to judge ourselves by the standards they set up. D. B. Vee Gees One sector of the Carolina campus, if it had a nickle, would buy a Hearst paper instead of the New York Times. ' That sector craves Winchell chatter, Brisbane-like-potshots, hell-fire editorials instead of Times-like accounts of resigna tions, weddings, births, and en rollment figures. It's the sector that likes to read about Tom Somebody slip ping up to Molly Albritton's room in the top of New Women's Dorm., and rearranging all the furniture so much that the poor near-sighted little girl couldn't even find her radio atop a book shelf. It's that sector that likes to hear in advance that some fellow is really working on plans to have Kay Kyser down to lead Carolina cheers at the Duke game. It's the bunch that gives a good laugh when news breaks that Dr. Howell's dog is bounced from a philosophy class. And laughs louder when the dog, in dignant of the account, issues a statement that philosophy's no good anyway; that he had al ready thought twice and decided to take a degree in English. That's the portion of the carn pus that likes come-easy-go-easy, thinks occasionally, laughs often, and honestly feels that the real time to knuckle-down is the day it gets the governor's Godspeed and a diploma. That's the funny, happy bunch that VeeGees are written for.

Moore wished to emphasize to new men that the code is a volun tary obligation of fraternities and a member breaking it should incur their contempt all the more for this fact. Text of the code follows : "The. Interfraternity council, in an effort to promote friendly relations and to foster more con genial rushing, has drawn up this code of ethics. This code is merely a gentleman's agreement with no penalties provided for violations. "A fraternity member shall not call for a rushee at his place of residence, nor take him from one house to another (luring rushing hours or bring him back to his place of residence during or at the end of rushing hours. In case of rain fraternity mem bers may call for rushee at place of residence and take him from one fraternity house to another in cars but may not take him back to his place of residence. "A fraternity member shall not telephone another fraternity house to talk to a rushee. "A fraternity member shall' not call at another fraternity house for a rushee. "All fraternity members are asked to follow the rule as set up in the rushing rules which states that only one date be made with a rushee on the first day of rushing. "In fairness to all fraternities each fraternity is asked not to try to keep a rushee over the time the rushee has given the fraternity. "All fraternity members in discussing other fraternities should do so in a gentlemanly manner. "It is sincerely hoped that the members of the fraternities on the campus of the University of North Carolina shall do all in their power to carry out this code of ethics."

Future High School Teachers Warned To Consider Schedules Number -Of Methods Courses Taught Each Year To Be Reduced For Lack Students The fig is a native of south western Asia. "Future high school teachers planning to take a course in methods and materials of teach ing English or other similar sub jects should be careful that they do not miss the boat," Harl Douglass, director of the divi sion of teaching training of the college of arts and sciences said yesterdly. Previously these courses one each in Latin, French, English, science, social studies and mathe matics have been repeated every quarter. Douglass Believes Dr. Douglass does not believe that the number of students taking the courses warrant three sections each academic year. This year the courses will be offered only once or twice dur ing the year, and next year but once a year. Courses for teach ers of English wilL be given this year in the fall and spring quar ters, social studies in the fall and winter quarters, mathe matics in the fall quarters, science, Jn the fall and winter quarters.

Columbia St. Phone 4616 GRAIL DANCE TO BE IN TIN CAN Track To Be Used For February Meet Early plans for the use of the Tin Can include the presentation of the first Order of the Grail dance tonight, according to Coach Bob Fetzer in a report yesterday. The Tin Can indoor track, built last winter at a cost of about $1,500, will be used for the Southern conference indoor track meet in Woollen gym nasium February 25. The track is constructed of heart juniper, a light, rot-resistant wood. The portable track is made in sections, which, when assembled will form a 10-lap mile. The Madison Square garden track, which is made in a similar man ner, is smaller than the Carolina course and requires 11 laps to the mile. For use in the Woollen gym nasium, the track will be taken apart and superimposed over the gymnasium floor. Because of bad weather, the Tin Can will be used for several sports this, fall. Besides track, basketball and intramural activi ties will be held in the structure. Other than sports, the Tin Can will be used for informal dances during the fall quarter.
