Editor's note: The following editorial, reprinted from the Winston-Salem
journal is a definite tribute to the Carolina Political
Union. We publish it because it is a recognition of the merit of a
student organization not only by the campus but by the state and
beyond as well.
The Carolina Political Union, student group at the 1 Uni
versity which is drawing President Roosevelt to Ghapel Hill
for an address on the afternoon of December 5, has exhibited
no partisanship in its selection of speakers.
Under the direction of Voit Gilmore, Winston-Salem boy
who is the chairman of the group, the CPU has scheduled
an impressive list of speakers for the next few months, the
notables on the program including, besides the President;
Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, John W. Hanes, under
secretary of the Treasury; Boake Carter, Governor Alfred
M. Landon, Robert Allen, of the Washington Merry-Go-Round,
and Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts.
From its inception, the union has sought to bring before
Carolina students and others interested in political affairs
the views of outstanding speakers representing every school
of contemporary thought. The belief back of this is that only
by full and free exposition of opposing ideas is the modern
mind enabled to strike a balance and find the true way of
life. -
As a stimulator of thought, the Carolina Political Union
takes its place as one of the most important instiutions in
Southern collegiate life.
Good Giving
"The poor are always with us," even in Chapel Hill, and
there will always be a need for wise and generous charity.
As Christmas approaches, the spirit of giving has cropped
out among Carolina students. The Phi Gams have hit -on a
way to be charitable which they think will benefit both giver
and given. Each fraternity member is going to canvass fra
ternity and dormitory rooms requesting the roomers to dig
out all their personal belongings which they don't and prob
ably won't use. By giving these things to charity they also
rid themselves of excess baggage. When the Phi Gam charity
truck is filled, the gifts will be driven to Mrs. R. B. Lawson
who will supervise their distribution to Chapel Hill poor
through the King's Daughters organization. By choosing this
experienced charity organization as the means for distribut
ing their gifts, the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity shows wis
dom as well as generosity.
-There is a student-headed campaign under way for the
sale of tuberculosis Christmas seals. The YMCA is sponsor
ing a campus-wide drive for funds to finance cod-liver oil
treatments for Chapel Hill poor children who need them. The
Pi Beta Phi sorority is selling things made by the Pi Beta
Phi Settlement School in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The proceeds
from the local sale will go back to Tennessee to help keep the
school going.
Now like no other time of the year, students will be asked
to give money to this and that. And students feel more like
giving at this time of year.
Merely wanting to help the poor is a fine motive indeed.
But it is possible to give to the poor without helping them.
THE 1:3
CLASS
By Adrian Spies
"Men With Wings" (Sun. and Moru
Carolina) flies high as a saga of
airplane majesty, but it flies pitifully
low as the tale of human beings eon
cemed with this saga. It is the story
of the history of aviation as reflected
by the lives of three people Fred
MacMurray, Ray Milland, and Louise
Campbell. Unfortunately, the his
toric scenes stand by themselves, and
11 1 .
tne domestic scenes are left some
what out in the cold. Most of the film
is this domestic drama interspersed
with such things as the Lindbergh
flight, the Post flight, the Wrigts
flight, etc. "Men With Wings" could
have been a great aviation film. It
fails because of poor directing, and
poor discretion in the handling of
the story. STAGE uses one word to
express its opinion of the picture.
Grounded."
"Spring Madness" is one of th
best college movies that Hollywood
has produced in years. And it is good
because it is a serious attempt to deal
with the problems of young college
people faced with the... problems ...of
life." Concerned with the serious
mental debate of a Harvard student
editor, Lew Ayres, it touches slight
ly upon a sociological theme and fin
ishes as a gay domestic comedy. But'
the treatment is clever, and the story
a relief from the usual college rah rah
sort.
However, there is one feature of
this film that is hard to take. Burgess
Meredith, one of Broadway's finest
actors, is cast in a coarse comic role
Hollywood will never learn that it is
not enough to merely buy out the
stage's best talent with fabulous sal
aries. Meredith could have given the
movies one of their rare superior per
formances. Instead they made a comic
of him.
But despite this ridiculous near
sightedness, "Spring Madness" is a
film worth seeing. It talks about peo
ple like you and me and gives us
coeds without sweaters, boys without
inhuman athletic prowess, and col-
ege life without the artificial "coun
try club" glitter that you and I have
sought but never found.
"The Young in Heart" (Wed. and
Thurs. Carolina) is good film enter
tainment if your faith in human na
ture is unbounded. The story of a
rougish family who live by their pol
ished wits and the benificence of gul
lible old ladies, it is good because the
cast is good. Janet Gaynor, Doug
Fairbanks, Jr., Paulette Goddard. and
Roland Young combine into a com
mendable acting performance. Along
with Billie Burke they are lovable
liars and benign bohemians. And at
the end of the film they are all con
verted into monuments of saintly liv
ing who atone for all the errors of
their picoresque lives. "The Young
in Heart" has a left-handed moral
message that is very hard to swal
low. But if you are hardened to left
handed moral messages from un
moral Hollywood you probably will
enjoy the picture.
"Say It In French" (Fri. Caro
lina) is a sophisticated comedy that
looses itself in sleek penthouses and
ultra-smart New York night clubs.
Briefly, it is the story of a young
man in New York who is secretly
married to his mother's French maid,
engaged to a society girl, and an ex
pectant father. Ray Milland is cast
as this extremely versatile young
man, and Olympe Bradna is his
French cutie and mother-to-be. The
Misses Mary Carlisle and Irene Her
vey add fifth avenue gowns and Hol
lywood glamor to the farce. Perhaps
the best feature of the entire affair is
Miss Bradna singing "April In My
Heart," by Helen Meinardi and
Hoagy Carmichael. "Farcial and a
depressant" New Yorker.
"In Society" (Sat. Carolina) is a
very pleasing member of the current
juvenile movies. It is rough and
tumble and pleasing, with a burles
qued angle of the class element. A
very societish lady, Mary Boland, has
a very peculiar trouble with her child,
Jackie Searl, who just naturally won't
get out of bed. She imports a crew
of young gentlemen from an East
Side settlement house. And among
other riotous things, they cure Mas
ter Searl of his beditis. Among the
very acceptable players are Mischa
Auer, Edward Everett Horton, and
Frankie Thomas. "In Society" is
pleasant comedy without anything
particularly important to say.
Engagement Of Local
Couple Announced
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Carroll Young
of Petersburg, Va., have announced
the engagement of their daughter,
Miss Margaret- Virginia Young, to
William Smith Wells of Chapel Hill
and Palo Alto, Cal.
Letters To The Editor
Over 100 Words Subject to Cutting
A snake sleeps with both eyes open.
(Editor's note: The names of the
authors of all initialed letters ap
pearing in this column wUl be re
vealed upon request.)
Dear Sir:
The letter from "G. R." in this
morning's Tab Heel leaves an impli
cation that is contrary to fact; name
ly, that the undersigned "organized
the student opposition in the recent
Opera-on-Tour controversy. Further
more, no action of mine could be
labeled by any reasonable person be
designated as "causing an uproar.'
My view was based chiefly on an
experience in a northern university,
in which the Student Employment
Bureau sent out a dozen students to
act "as scabs in a downtown press
men's strike. There was a crash, and
several of the students were injured.
Moreover, it caused a great deal of
criticism damaging to the university.
Kecalling this incident, as soon as
I heard the news that students would
do the regular work of stage-hands, J
first called up Mr. Lanier to ask
whether or not the people were NYA
students and whether they had been
sent out by his department. I found
out that they were not NYA stu
dents, but that they had been, in a
sense, officially sent out by our self
help bureau. Next I sent telegrams to
Prescident Graham and Dean House,
respectfully calling their attention to
the possible repercussions on the Uni
versity from the labor press of this
state and of the nation. In the after
noon I called Dean Bradshaw over
the telephone. Dean Bradshaw imme
diately saw the point and promised
to look into the matter. The next I
heard of it was the news, about 6:30,
that the authorities had decided to
withdraw the students.
I wish to say also that several
other professors, six to the best of
my knowledge, were concerned in the
matter, in varying degrees feeling
that the University was making a
mistake in allowing it to appear,
whatever the mitigating circum
stances, that official approval was
beinsr friven to what might appear in
certain circles as strike-breaking. My
yvim. is mat meac jiuiww "
made in a regular, business-like way J
and with all the dignity possible.
The matter of sympathetic strikes
is, of course, arguable. That is not
the point, however. The University is
committed to neutrality and, like
Caesar's wife, should be above sus
picion. All over the country we are
known as the greatest liberal univer
sity in America, and the news in
publications like the Nation or the
New Republic or the Christian Cen
tury that we had given official sanc
tion to student strike-breakers would
have bewildered many of our friends.
The settlement of the issue, there
fore, was one of exchange of views
between faculty members and of
ficials, with the resultant action -of
calling off the students. If this is
not in keeping with the Democratic
process, then the writer does not know
what orderly government is.
Sincerely yours,
Eston Everett Ericson.
