NEWS: JIM McADEN For This Issue: SPORTS: MARTIN HARMON o Why Not Chapel Hill? A special study commission authorized by the 1937 North Carolina General Assembly has unanimously approved a four year medical school for this state, four members of the com mission favoring Chapel Hill for the site. ' " " v. T- - - ' " - - ' .- . : ' rk f .- ' ". - T ' - . . - - r ' ' - f But two members of the six-member commission disagree that the school should be located at Chapel Hill as a part of the University. They dissent because "responsible parties" have promised a large donation from private funds to supple ment a state appropriation to build and endow, a four-year school, "provided the school is built at a designated city in the state." Though one of the two dissenters acknowledges that the medical school should be a unit of the Greater Uni versity, he cannot see that "the location of the medical school at Chapel Hill is of sufficient importance to make it necessary to refuse a large donation which was conditioned upon build ing the school elsewhere." There, then, stands the problem. North Carolina is assured a state-supported medical school if the commission's recom mendation is accepted. But the commissioners cannofap proach the question of a location with the same views in mind. Two commission members have receptive ears for the fat cash prize of "responsible parties." Yet, it can be seen that quite likely these "responsible parties" will gain some com mercial or other advantage if their donations are accepted. They are filling all the standards of true humanitarianism by generously offering their endowments, but their humane instincts will continue to exist only if "a designated city" can benefit from theirs and the state's money. The University and Chapel Hill, like many other localities, could have many reasons of their own for wanting the four year medical school here. Such a new curriculum would be a welcome addition to a growing University. The University would gain a position beside Duke and other universities that now possess four-year schools. But these personal reasons become unnecessary when the majority members of the commission and the University can advance more solid and irrefutable reasons for locating the four-year medical school here: (1) The medical profession generally is of the opinion that state-owned medical schools should he units of state universities. (2) The University is preparing to open its magnificent new medical building next September. With neccessary additions and changes in present facilities and curriculum, the four-year school could be insti tuted here. .(3) A state medical school, just as any other educational institution, must build up a reputation. The rela tive position in their field of the faculty members in any schools, especially a school that teaches medicine, largely determines the standing of the institution among others of its kind. The present two-year school here can amply answer that qualification with its faculty that already has a secure national reputation. The logic of the whole question is heavily on the side of the University, but commission bickering can cause delay or even permanently prevent the school being located here or any where else. The commission and others in authority need only to look upon that logic as such and act accordingly. D. B. Winter Officers Elected ByJPM By an overwhelming majority the representatives of the Phi assembly meeting last night in New East, elect ed Representative Ben Dixon as the new speaker for the winter quarter. In the speaker's chair Dixon succeeds John Rankin who has served during the winter quarter. In addition to electing a new speaker last night, the Phi voted on candidates for other hotly contested vacancies including speaker pro tern, reading clerk, sergeant-at-arms, and assistant secretary-treasurer. To the office of speaker pro tern was elected Representative Al Rosen, succeeding Elmer Nance. Janice Cobb was elected as reading clerk to suc ceed Connie Thigpen. For the office of sergeant-at-arms Tommy Royster was elected to succeed Roy Clark. The new assistant secretary-treasurer is Representative Gover who succeeds Representative Smith. Jack Fairly will continue to serve as secretary-treasurer. The last officers to be elected were the ways and means committee con sisting of Representatives Dawson, Long, and McLendon. VILLAGE TO BE DECORATED SOON Delay Caused By President's Visit The main thoroughfare of the vil lage will be decorated for the Christ mas season early this week. 1 The 900-foot stretch will be em blazoned with hundreds of colored lights and laurel garlands.! At either end of the archway will be large il luminated signs bearing the words, "Merry Christmas." The laurel ropes, which have been obtained from a concern in western North Carolina, will be attached to light standards, and will be caught in the center of the arches with stars, bells and wreaths. FINANCING The decoration of the street will be financed by contributions from business and professional men of the village, citizens, civic clubs and stu dent organizations. Contributions are being received by the Merchants as sociation. Last year the display was complet ed December 4. The delay this year is caused by the time required in wir ing and lighting Kenan stadium in preparation for the President's speech here. - In past years the crew of workers which decorates the street starts about 10 o'clock in the evening, works through the night and finishes in the early morning. The all-night work is rewarded by a hot breakfast at a local restaurant. Kleeman Makes Inaugural Talk "Love of Virtue and Science," mot to of the Dialectic senate, was the theme of President Walter Kleeman's inaugural address at the session of the senate last night. "Love of Virtue as applied to the Di in my mind means love of the intellectual integrity which is the individual responsibility of each senator," Kleeman stated. The election of officers held last week was ruled illegal by the new president on the grounds that, it did not conform with a constitutional amendment which was pasted' last spring, stating that the officers should be nominated at one session and at the next session of the senate they should be voted upon. This amend ment was not followed in that the officers were nominated and elected at-the same session of the senate. After much, discussion, it was found in the journal of the senate that the resolution had been drawn up and passed, but that it had . never been made a part of the constitution. In view of this fact, President Kleeman reversed his former ruling. Reviewer Lauds Carolina Mag (Continued from first page) flaying his homeland." Simmons does not agree that 'the South demands crinoline novels "accompanied bv harmonious mixed choruses from the cotton field" as opposed to "Tobacco Road" but that it prefers works that present both sides of the picture and the fairly comfortable middle class of the South that has been almost un touched by literature. John Creedy, editor of the maga zine, Simmons writes, "apparently will not allow himself to be worked up to a hysterical pitch on any ques tion and his functional appraisal of southern economy is "reassuringly sane." The Carolina Magazine on the whole makes profitable reading,., he concludes, and although "occasional ly there is a hint of the high pitch of fanatacism that often accompa nies student 'writings' on controver sial subjects, the writers have their facts well in hand, and present them in a stimulating manner."

"Proff" Koch has been reading the "Christmas Carol" to audiences all over the country for 33 years, and the above incident shows both the dif ficulties he has often had to undergo to fulfill his engagements and the amount of prestige he has won through his numerous platform ap4 pearances. On December 11 in Memo rial hall, the campus will hear Koch's 167th public reading of Dickens' ghost story, an event that has taken place in Chapel Hill every year since "Proff" first joined the Carolina fac ulty in 1918. FIRST READING It was while he was an instructor of English at the University of North Dakota in-d905 that Dr. Koch first conceived the idea of reading the "Christmas Carol" to a group of friends, as they sat around a crack ling wood fire. The response was so enthusiastic that it became an annual event at the midwestern university. And then a tiny farm village demand ed that he read there. And in the year that followed, in schools, churches, and opera houses all over the. big pairie states, Koch, Scrooge and Mar ley entertained eager listeners. One time "Proff" raced in a handcar over 50 miles of icy, steel, snow-covefed tracks to keep an engagements Since then, "Proff" has taken time off from the Playmakers to read the "Christmas Carol" every December in places as far apart as Charlotte and New York, Raleigh and Boston. This year he was invited to give his fifth reading at Town Hall in New York but refused because he wanted to appear in as many North Caro lina towns as he could. He has al ready been forced to decline a num ber of invitations because of a full schedule, and several places have re quested definite dates for 1939. Students Guilty Of Passing Bad Checks (Continued from first page) , no funds in his own account, and at tempts to write checks under his par ent's name. If the parent refuses to pay the money, the student is brought before the Honor council. - The best example of this latter type of bogus check passing occurred a few years ago, when an undergrad uate wrote several checks amounting to $400, all under his father's name. Upon the return of the student's notes, without payment, the bad check clerk turned the case over to the counciL The inquiry which followed brought to light the fact that the stu dent had incurred most of his debts through gambling. After being severe ly criticized, and on the brink of ex pulsion from the University, the boy was saved at the last moment when his father intervened, and recognized the checks.

Hale L. C. Payne ASU Criticizes Council Action (Continued from first pagt) ter its feeling that the failure of the Student council to define what " is discourteous and . what is not discourteous leaves the council with dictatorial powers in the form of what is in effect a signed blank check. By this statement the coun cil reserves for itself the interpre tation of what shall' constitute the legitimate means of expressing stu dent sentiment, without previously informing the student body as to the specific limits it will set to the exercise of the means of student expression. "It is the responsibility of the Student council to the student body, to issue a statement defining its specific policy in regard to this very important matter. "W. G. BORDERS."
