For This NEWS: MORRIS ROSENBERG Student Council Limits Freedom Of Expression In a statement appearing in yesterday morning's paper the student council adopted one of the most radical policies in the history of student government. , Using as a basis of action the recent case of students dis tributing pamphlets at a CPU gathering, the council says that any "further impolite or discourteous acts must be severely dealt with." The same official statement, however, says that "the coun cil recognizes the right of every student to express his opin ions and thoughts in perfect freedom." The council is inconsistent. It cannot sanction "perfect" freedom of expression and yet at the same time curb that freedom because it is discourteous. The only student gov ernment policy that can be deduced from the statement is that the council divides freedom of expression into two cate gories: the discourteous and the non-discourteous. One type of freedom is condemned; the other condoned. Future councils have a precedent now; cases of "impolite" freedom of expression could be ."severely dealt with." How weak a word is "impolite" that it should be the fu ture criterion for a deep-rooted policy of freedom of expres sion in student government and the University itself! If the council, in reconsidering their policy of impeaching the unlimited right of freedom of expression, struck their statement from the record, no chaos will result. First, abuses of the universal campus prerogative of freedom are so rare that it is hard to recall any other except the recent Deering incident. Secondly, the discourteous offenders have admit tedly been shown the stupidity of their actions by public dis approval. With public opinion an ample check on discourtesy, the council can find no excuse for depriving the campus of a right that is as fundamental as the council itself the un limited freedom of expression. Not All Done ' After three years of constant work, the Carolina Political Union has finally succeeded in getting Franklin Roosevelt to speak on this campus. However, just getting him here is not the whole job by any means. Letters must be posted; special programs are being print ed for the occasion, and transportation must be provided. For all these things, the money is not now on hand and the Union states that it will need a few hundreds of dollars to take care of these emergency expenses. Certainly the project is well worth all the expense and work it entails, if only for the prestige which it brings to the campus, even glossing over all the further advantages of such a program. ' The President's visit here is an example of the wide lati tude which the CPU covers in its services to the campus. Other organizations with a more limited sphere of action might do well to help the CPU in this, their most ambitious venture. " : . 4 Editor .Managing Editor Business Manager .Circulation Manager Issue SPORTS: BILL SNIDER FHE LAS! Word By Jane Hunter In the annual fall sweepstakes for Chi O Ladles' Favorite, Kappa Sig Gil McCutcheon's profile has now stepped tip to lead that of Charlie Wood by a nose. A bit of snooping yesterday after noon brought to light a few facts which help to strengthen a theory long popular among moralists. Your scribe and an assistant made a list of women students on the campus who are noted for their efficiency, popularity, and general attractive ness, both as to appearance and per sonality. Then followed a tour of two girls' dorms and one sorority house, while the G-Gals took a critical peep at almost every room in each. Ninety per cent of the rooms were in a state of extreme mussiness, with the floors, beds, desks, and dressers littered to capacity with clothes, cos metics, papers, empty dope bottles, ash trays, stockings, dried nail polish and such. These rooms of course, were in varying stages of confusion, as were the remaining ten per cent, which were classified as neat and livable. The significant fact, with very few exceptions, was this those girls who reflect good taste and efficiency in their appearance, speeeh, and general manner of doing things are also, the girls who have taken the trouble to furnish their rooms tastefully with reading lamps, rugs, book stands, etc. They are the ones whose rooms show fairly consistent habits of neat ness and forethought, while those date-dazed coeds who attend the movies every afternoon, spend hours dope-diddling in Pritchard's, and go slumming in the library only once a quarter, inhabit their mare's nests in peace and contentment. A dumb coed in Lefler's North Carolina history class yesterday anx iously inquired if the famous John Paul Jones was Scotch, but was quickly informed by a dozen or more hearty voices that he is "a blend." Health Director Attacks War (Continued from first page) our. next step ' is mental and moral hygiene. Real progress is measures in spiritual, not material elements," he stated in concluding his remarks. The meeting of the North Carolina chapter of Sigma Xi, of which Dr. E. T. Browne is president, was opened with a banquet at the Carolina inn at 6 o'clock last night. Dr. Browne an nounced the following list of new members initiated at the banquet: to active membership, Lancaster Demor est Burling, associate profespor of geology, and Albert Charles Corn sweet, instructor in psychology; to associate membership, Reece Croxton Blackwell and Robert Edward Smith of the mathematics department; Phil lip Lattimore Carpenter and Nelson G. Hairston of the zoology depart ment; Joseph Robinson Clair and John Caldwell McCampbell of the ge ology department; Margaret Erwin Robins of the psychology department; Leonard Clement Suprenant of the chemistry department; and Thomas Earle Smith, plant pathologist, tobac co experiment station, Oxford. HISTORY OF SOCIETY The Society of Sigma Xi was found ed at Cornell University in 1886 by eight young engineering students and one instructor. Soon the idea spread and chapters were installed in other institutions. The thirty-second chap ter to be installed was at the Univer sity in 1920. There are now 76 chap ters and 37 Sigma Xi clubs. Canadian clubs have been recog nized, and inquiries have been received about chapters in England and France. Prior to the Japanese inva sion there was a Sigma Xi club in Peking, China. There are now some 35,000 members and some 1200 young men and women are initiated annual ly. The Society includes among its members practically all of the great scientists in the United States. The Society of Sigma Xi is affilia ted with the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and since 1899 has held an annual convention at the time of the annual meeting of the Association. The 39th annual con vention will be held in Richmond, Vir ginia, Dec. 28, 1938. Professors Ed ward Mack, J. F. Dashiell and W. F. Prouty have been elected delegates from the North Carolina Chapter. In line with their goal of promoting research the national organization annually makes certain grants-in-aid to worthy applicants. Last year the sum of $2000 was awarded to 14 per sons, one of whom is at present on our campus. Send the Daily Tab Heel home. ETC E T ERA- FROM THE EXCHANGE DESK By BEN DIXON By WALTER KLEEMAN, Guest Columnist All we know is what we read in the papers: The Oklahoma Daily: , A sorority is a group of girls liv ing in a house with a single purpose to get more girh?, to live in one house with a single purpose. The Minnesota Daily: Peace is a period of minor wars between major conflagrations. The Daily Kansan: The difference between a univer sity and an asylum is that you have to improve to get out of an asylum. The maximum 44-hour week should bring comfort to lots of people. The unemployed will be real happy to learn that they are unemployed only 44 hours a week now. In one of the Southern states it is against the law to put salt on the railroad tracks. That doesn't worry us because we know better ways to catch a train anyway. Wisconsin Daily: Oh, what is so rare as an A in June ? , Connecticut State College Paper: Copying one book is plagiarism; copying three books is research. And from the Southern California Daily Trojan a group of questions: What's distance to a goose? What's relativity to a mice? What's what to a Zilch? What's time to a monkey? We don't know either. We thought you ought to know Fesler Discusses Refugee Problem At IRC Meeting The problem of refugees was the subject of discussion led by Dr. James W. Fesler of the Political Science de partment at the International Rela tions club round table discussion Wed nesday night. Refugees are products of revolutions and civil wars, Dr. Fes ler pointed out. The revolution and famine in Russia caused a migration of about 1,000,000 people to other countries. There are about 150,000 immigrants today, Dr. Fesler stated, 10,000 of these being professional men and 1500 of these professional men are German University professors. There are 115 of these professors in the United States, 66 of these having, only two- year professorships and 51 have been absorbed into the faculties of Ameri can universities. These refugee pro fessors are causing a problem in that they are filling positions that Ameri can Ph. D.'s might obtain. There is a place in our universities, Dr. Fesler pointed out, for such brilliant minds as Einstein who is now a member of the Princeton faculty and Benes who is, to be employed by the University of Chicago. Three countries have absorb ed the majority of these refugee pro fessors, Turkey, England and the United States. The members of the club took part in a discussion of the refugee prob lem after Dr. Fesler had concluded his talk. Frank Graham Will Introduce (Continued from first page) making arrangements for the address itself. The CPU plans to honor the Presi dent with a banquet after his speech either at the Carolina inn or Swain hall, depending upon the number of people who will be invited. Meanwhile, CPU committees have been active in arranging several phases of the anniversary celebration. The group will have on display around the campus, primarily at the Carolina inn and the library, cabinets and tables exhibiting the history, work, organization and purpose of the union. Legislature Picks Ten Men (Continued from first page) were represented as such. The floor was opened for nominees to represent the other campus organ izations. The ten nominations made from the floor were Tom Pitts, El b e r t Hutton, Vaughn Winborne, Studie Ficklen, Grady Stephens, Tom Morgan, Ed Maner, Bill Cole, Fere bee Taylor, Victor Stern. Four were elected from this group. The members of the legislature will be formally inaugurated soon after the Thanksgiving holidays and will then hold their first formal meeting. After the inauguration bills submit ted by students suggesting changes in the school will be heard by the or ganization, considered, and then act ed upon. that Mary Shipley, Southern CaL coed, operated a steam shovel this summer along with the best in the business. Most Chapel Hooligans seem to get along pretty well with the common ordinary garden variety. .

Alpha Psi Delta Entertains Duke Guests Wednesday Alpha Psi Delta, psychology fra ternity, entertained guests from Duke University at its monthly meeting Wednesday night. Dr. Sylvia MacColI, of the psycho logy department at Duke, read a paper on "Group and Individual Dif ferences in Imaginative Processes." The report was based on the inter pretation of colud picture studies. Dr. A. G. Bayroff, of the psychology de partment here, presented a paper on the "Effect of Early Isolation of Wtite Rats on their Competition in Swimming." Statuary Will Be Shown Another Week One more week is left for seeing the exhibit of Anna Hyatt Hunting ton statuary which is now on exhibit at Person Hall Art gallery. Announcement of the contest win ners will be made Monday. Over 750 Attend Coach's Football Clinic Last Night Hill hall overflowed last night as over 750 attended Coach Ray Wolf's football clinic to see pictures of the VPI and Fordham games. ' Students filled the aisles and jam med the entrances in the largest at tendance the clinic has had. Wolf spoke 10 minutes and then showed the VPI pictures. These turned out well in spite of the rain credit due to O. K. Cornwell, head of the Physi cal Education department. The Ford- ham game followed, and both pictures were well received with applause and groans punctuating the play. ASU Asks Cut In Relations (Continued from first page) the expressions of protest by the re call of Ambassador Wilson from Ber lin, but we do not feel .this to be enough. We ask specifically, as far as it is within your power, to act by breaking off trade and diplomatic re lations with the National Socialist government of Germany until such time as the beastialities seem per manently and effectively to have ceased. - We urge these actions in the name and spirit of democracy and human decency. WOODHOUSE SPEAKS Continuing his speech Professor Woodhouse said: "I am against all forms of government other than de mocracy for I believe that it is the only plan of government that will work. "As for myself, I want only the necessities of life and the right to pursue my happiness unhampered and without hampering the happiness of anyone else," he continued. 1 "Although I am a Pacifist I am be hind President Roosevelt in his plan for rearmament for self -protection," he concluded. BIRTHDAYS TODAY (Please call by she ticket eft ice of the Carolina theater for a com plimentary pass.) Caroline Black. Paul Blue. Allan Calhoun. Spencer Carlyle. G. L. Church. P. D. Pendergraft. Alice Ponder. G. C. Stowe. Howell Is Pleasant Soul (Continued from first vaae) lock up until 10:45 or 11:15 because of lingering couples on the thresh- hold." NIGHT OWLS The most consistent late couch sit ters, according to Lillian, are Bob Hesse (Mary Jackson), Buddy Do, Bose (Jean Maclndoe), and Billy Broadfoot (Erdine Bowman). The most regular couple, however, are George Nethercutt and Winnie Snell, who date every afternoon and night and sometimes for breakfast. Others who haunt the Shack are "Rat" Boykin and Charlie SpelL "They hardly ever date," said Lil lian. "They just hang around and talk to whomever will speak to them." Lillian also has the job of signing out the girls who are. going out to dances or for some reason or other are unable to get back to the Shack on time. Many of them, though, ne glect that minor but necessary chore, and Lillian often gets phone calls from the most amazing places asking her to put some coed's name down on the register. WAITS UP FOR YOU "For example, at the Phi Kappa Sig pledge dance in Durham a few weeks ago, Bob McManeus called up and said that Eloise Parrish and Bobby Winton would be delayed com ing back to Chapel Hill because of automobile trouble. I had to stay up until three in the morning to let them in. "Most of the girls are pretty hon est about the activities they sign out for, and besides we usually know who has to stay late for Playmaker rehearsals and who doesn't. Sophia Spivey and Dorothy Raoul, however, are always wanting to know if there's anything they can possibly sign out for." Lillian has had some strange re quests made her from various boys. Typical is the Tar Heel man who dashed into the Shack one night and begged for two dates right away. Strangely enough, they couldn't be obtained and a few days later he re turned asking for someone to help him push his car out of the Arbor etum. Just exactly what it was doing there is only a matter of con jecture. The Shack, of course, is most crowded at closing time, and during the week-ends, from 8 to 8:30 at night. "I was surprised," remarked Lillian, "to see how nervous the boys are waiting for their dates. They just pack the vestibule, pace up and down smoking cigarettes, and give every girl the once-over as she comes down the stairs. This was es pecially true at the coed ball when all dates were blind. During the week, though, there's very little for mal dating, most of it being just a case of the boy walking a coed home from the library or some campus meeting." Lillian is a senior, an accounting major, a native of Enfield, and a transfer from Meredith. She rarely studies on duty but spends her time knitting or playing bridge. Lillian doesn't particularly like her job, but as Janice Cobb wistfully remarked, "she certainly js good at it." " Commerce Frat To Take First Tour Members and pledges of Delta Sigma Pi, national honorary com merce fraternity, "will take their first industrial tour Monday afternoon by visiting the American Tobacco com pany and the Durham Coca-Cola Bottling company in Durham. Anyone on the campus, it was pointed out, who wishes to take a car should see Mrs. Stephens in Dean Carroll's office, Bingham hall. , At the meeting Wednesday night plans were made for the initiation of pledges December 2. Seniors To Hear Budget Remarks (Continued from first page) cards are returned, the vote will be tallied and recorded. This system is new and was sug gested by the student council to simp lify the voting system as used in the past.
