NEWS: For This Issue LAFFITTE HOWARD SPORTS: JIM McADEN Campus Bodies Yesterday we received a letter from one "Bewildered" asking several questions about campus government which we feel are in the minds of many students. First, where is the Student Legislature that we voted on last year? And just exactly what will it do? The Student Legislature that the campus voted for last spring has not yet been organized. President Jim Joyner has apparently seen no need for legislation. And rather than allow the group to meet unnecessarily with "much ado about nothing" he has chosen to leave the legislature unorganized. The legislature will represent the fraternity, non-fraternity, and women's groups, and will act as their legislative voice. Second what are the functions of the Student Audit Board, and who are its members? The Student Audit Board keeps check on the finances of the various campus organizations, including the four classes. These organizations draw up their own budgets, and the Audit Board checks on their expenditures and sees that they keep within these budgets. The board is composed of four students, and three faculty members. The president of the student body is always one of the student members and acts as the chairman of the Board. ' What is the P. U. Board? The P. U. Board, or Publications Union Board, is the cus todian of the publications fees that the students pay every quarter. The Board seeks to divide these fees between the various publications in such a way that each may receive the amount necessary to properly finance it. The Publica tion like the Audit Board is composed of both students and faculty members. T. S. o Not For Us America, where all men are created equal, is noted for the exceptions' to this rule which it so openly condones. And, of all places, undemocratic practices are quite common in some of America's best educational institutions. We refer, in par ticular, to the absurd restrictions placed on freshmen. One of the favorite appellations for new men in a number of colleges is the undignified "rat." The defenseless neo phytes bear this title at Emory university and Western Maryland college; at Virginia Military institute they fare little better, being of the little-more-refined "Brother Rat" category of student classification. Even nearby Duke uni versity is a participant in this cultural lag, its freshmen being required to wear dunce caps during the fall quarter. To show the absurdity of freshmen rules at Emory and Western Maryland (which may be considered a representa tive cross-section of this less progressive element in higher education) we summarize some of their, "rat" regulations: ' "No freshmen will be allowed to sit on the library steps . . . No freshmen will be allowed to walk on the grass Rats must smoke only in their rooms . . . Rats must make way for upperclassmen at all times . . . Rats must speak to everyone on the campus . . . Rats must buy a 'rat cap . . . Rats must carry out all requests of upperclassmen . . The slapstick comedy of it, the poignant tragedy of it, more forcefully impresses us with the belief that education . j- 1. a f I.J .-4- 7 Here at uaronna is iar irom oemg m a m.

(3) That the supervision of prison ers under parole be handled with com plete sympathy and efficiency. PAROLEES HAVE JOBS According to Commissioner Gill, only 10 percent of the approximately 1500 persons now on parole are un employed although many of them are working for very low wages. Their work ranges from the most menial tasks to prominent positions. "It is a wholesome convincing record which the commissioner places before the public; a report which is made from the proper angle and which should indeed be kept in mind when sporadic instances of parole violation, or re sort to crime even more violent than the parolee's original violation, push their way to spectacular attention."

Dear Sir: A recent news item in the Daily Tar Heel containing a communica tion in which Mr. David Clark of Charlotte stated that President Gra ham "is attempting to control mem bers of the faculty of the three branches of the University upon the basis of fear, that is, fear of being unable to secure promotion or of los ing their positions if they are not subservient to him" interests me very much. I have no desire to enter into any controversy with Mr. Clark. Neither do I think that President Graham needs defending by a member of his faculty. However, I do feel that Mr. Clark's statements were made with out a full knowledge of President Graham's relation with the members of the faculty of the three branches of the University. Of course, President Graham has not always followed the advice of the faculty of the three branches of the University. If he had done so there would have been no transfer of State College's School of Science and Business and of the Woman's Col lege School of Library Science to the University at Chapel Hill or of the School of Engineering of the Univer sity at Chapel Hill to State College. These changes were made against the wishes and sometimes over the protests of the faculty of the branch from which the activity was moved. But there was no indication that any member of the faculty of any branch of the University was afraid to ex press an opinion during the time Coming Politicos Cast Shadows On State House Steps BIRTHDAYS TODAY (Please call by the ticket office of the Carolina theater for a com plimentary pass.)

During the school year 1934-1935 it became evident that under con solidation the School of Science and Business at State College would lose its curricula the faculty of this school prepared a curriculum in General Science which, it was hoped, would be substituted for the curricula being discontinued. When the curriculum was presented to the Policies Com mittee of State College, in March, 1935, President Graham met with the committee and objected to the curriculum on the ground that it was attempting to continue a func tion of State College which was not in keeping with the plans of con solidation. Four of the nine members of the committee disagreed openly with President Graham. A year or two later the writer heard President Graham state his admiration for the frank and open manner in which those members of the committee who disagreed with him expressed their ideas. Less than thirty days after the meeting of the Policies Committee at which President Graham expressed his disapproval of the curriculum in General Science as prepared by the faculty of the School of Science and Business, a committee of ten mem bers from the School of Agriculture of State College, known as the Ap plied Science Committee, met and recommended that twelve depart ments from different schools of the College be grouped into one school to be known as a College of General Science. The committee expressed its opinion that strong departments in such a College were necessary for an outstanding College of Agriculture. This proposal was not in keeping with the plans of consolidation, but not a single member of the commit tee has been discriminated against for making the proposal. The faculty of the School of Science and Business did not agree with President Graham's actions of March, 1935, relative to the curricu lum in General Science. During the spring term of that year a program was prepared, seven members were assigned topics to discuss and Presi dent Graham was invited to attend a meeting and hear the ideas of the School of Science and Business rela tive to the proposed curriculum. He came and listened very attentively, but did not change his mind. It is interesting to note what hap pened to those members of the fac ulty of State College who opposed President Graham on that occasion. The dean of the School of Science and Business who presided and pre sented the speakers Js now dean of the Basic Division of State College. One man who was a professor in State College is now a professor in the University at Chapel Hill. An other who was an associate professor in State College is now a professor in the University at Chapel Hill. One man who was an assistant professor in State College is now an associate professor. Another who was an asso ciate professor is now a professor. One professor who took part in that program has retained his profes sorship and has had the admin istration of a new curriculum added to his duties. In addition he has been elected to the Administrative Council of the University of North Carolina and has been appointed to the Ath letic Council of State College, all with the approval of President Gra ham. The other two men who ap peared on the program were profes sors in State College at the time and are so listed in the current cata log. A number of similar cases could be cited but space does not permit. In the early days of consolidation there was fear in the faculty at State College, not of President Gra ham, but of the uncertain future. With the election of President Gra ham to the presidency of the Greater University of North Carolina new hope was born. Today the whole fac ulty of State College confidently looks forward to a bright future under his leadership. JASPER L. STUCKEY, Professor of Geology, State College. Arabs belong to the white race.
