For This Issue: NEWS: MARTIN HARMON SPORTS: RUSH HAMRICK o Honorable Mention There's a graduate student up at Columbia University in New York City. He is working on a thesis for his Master's degree, and the subject for his thesis is Thomas Wolfe. A letter was delivered recently to John Creedy, editor of the Carolina Magazine. It was from the yankee scholar at Columbia, and he wrote: "I have been examining The Caro lina Magazine for October, 1938, and have found some excel lent material about Mr. Wolfe which would be invaluable in ' my thesis." He finished by asking that several copies of that issue be sent to him. A front-page box in yesterday's Tar Heel made a rare announcement. The circulation department offered ten cents per every copy of the October and December issues of the Carolina Magazine which was1 turned in to them. The reading demand on the campus for Carolina Maga zines has increased notably this year. The Columbia Univer sity student represents a fast growing extra-campus reading public. The Thomas Wolfe issue which both he and the cir culation department have so recently requested extra copies of exemplifies a valuable literary contribution which the Magazine has been making to the campus and the nation, this year particularly. Praise, the psychology department says, is an effective stimulus to "bigger and better" activity. The Carolina Maga zine has been doing well' without a great deal of this stimulus. Its growing literary reputation makes it worthy of the cam pus' honorable mention. 0 Dr. Cross' Experiment (From the Daily Calif ornian) Dr. G. L. Cross has started something heads of other de partments might do well to watch. He announced that stu dents in the department of botany will be able to "grade" their professors. If his experiment meets with success and improvement is noted in teachers' methods in the botany de partment, the system should not be extended to other de partments and schools. ' ' ' Chronic complaining students may register a lot of unjust complaints concerning their instructor, but where complaints from several classes name a particular fault of one man, a professor cannot be honest with himself and still believe he is doing an adequate job. After all, ? student is more capable of judging teachers than are teachers themselves for few professors spend so : much time as a student listening to lectures dull and dry. Surely no professor enjoys lecturing to a class which is doing everything but listening when he knows other profes sors teaching the same subject make the class interesting. A conscientious prof essor who gets little response from his stu dents might find the complaints of his students useful. The only joker is in finding a professor who will admit he may be at fault. Cross has probably let the teachers in his department in for some embarrassing moments, but he should be commend ed for his courage. It will be interesting to see if other de partments consider the system. . ' .Editor ..Managing Editor .Business Manager -Circulation Manager To Tell The Truth- By Adrian Spies Recent Wanderings of the visionary Martin Dies have been directed, with a righteous vengeance; toward col lege organizations. Perhaps hi3 most luscious bait is the ASU, -which has lately been branded as an official, So viet inspired, nation-breaker. It is of interest to us here in Chapel Hill to observe how the highly energetic University of Chicago campus re acted to Dies' latest call to arms. In an editorial in their student paper, The Daily Maroon, results of a student controlled "un-American in vestigation were announced. And it was found that there were 57 Com munists among the thousands of stu dents, with all of their comparatively meagre number diffused into differ ent organizations. Their ASU execu tive board, likely fodder for the per versions of Dies and his cronies, con tains only one "agent from Moscow." And this is the grave situation which is being seriously investigated by an official Congressional committee. Such facts are significant because of the nature of that university. Some have called it the most truly liberal school in America both academically and politically. For there is a mini mum of social censorship against any departure from the status quo. And members of the so-called radical groups are able to express themselves freely, and with support. Out in Chi cago they have their strikes, mass meetings, and petitions. And these ac tivities manage to get along although; as has been said, although there there are only 57 Communists among the student body. Now Mr. Dies, in sniffing after the scent of young America, has sought a mythical network of alien destruc tiveness. Such things as peace strikes and petitions have raised a chauvan istic smell among loud-mouthed pa triots. And they have been lamented as certain indications of the decline James Speaks To Press Institute (Continued from first page) Roosevelt and - Ivey conducting a question and answer program. When Ivey asked a publisher what was a school of journalism and who its in structors were, he was answered: "A school of journalism forms the acad- emic slums of a university and its instructors are refugees from active newspaper work." I Chiles Coleman, bureau manager of the United Press in this area, in troduced James. Other speakers on yesterday's pro gram of the fifteenth annual insti tute were W. J. McCambridge, as sistant general manager of the As sociated Press; Donald R.

WAGES-HOURS Pointing out that since the Fair Labor Standards act has been in ef fect there has been general economic improvement throughout the country, Major Fletcher said the department of labor's November report showed that employment increased in 31 of the 48 states, including North Caro lina. "The Act was intended to apply to newspapers," continued Fletcher, "but the wage and hour division has not stepped in to referee the prob lem as to whether newsmen are em ployed in a professional capacity." Mr. Hurley conducted an open of the west. And they are the causes of vigilante expeditions to such schools as Chicago, where flags will be waved and students will be urged to keep their color white. It is unlikely that we in Chapel Hill will be bothered by either Repre sentative Dies or the pure-blooded terrorists whom he serves. Frankly, we are of little concern to those who fear an invasion from Moscow. Per haps our most militantly "radical" organization, the local ASU, is al most a model of Saxon decorum. And it is said that the Communists among its membership could be counted upon one. hand. Even as vivid an imagina tion as Dies must possess would have trouble in hunting down Soviet bat talions among our most frequent in dulgers in the right of free speech. For what has happened here is a strange thing. A very small segment of the student body mostly unorgan ized has engaged in the spasmodic protest which is intrinsic to so many colleges. As it is intrinsic to the Uni versity of Chicago, with its more numerous groups. And here, as in Chi cago, most of the students are only guided by their own senses of injus tice, and are only interested in con ditions which are normal to democ racy. But here most of this action seems to come from a meagre group which has been deadlocked with the most colorful of Dies' adjectives. When the University of Chicago is given a reluctant clean bill of health by our Congressional Committee, it will be -admitted that this school is acting in a "thoroughly American" way. We may look at it then, and learn a lesson in "Americanism." For there it seems to mean that a large part of the student body is alert to the problems of the day, and willing to take an active stand. And such normally youthful protests as. strikes, signs, and slogans are not limited to an indifferently tolerated minority. forum discussion on news photos and engravings. In his afternoon, address on "Pro motion of Newspapers as an Adver tising Medium," Allen B. Sikes stat ed that the same intense romance of research that characterizes "America today is being applied to the adver tising departments of newspapers and! to advertisers in general so that ad vertising today has a better tech- nique. "A better use is being made of advertising space by advertisers and their agents," he declared. TO DUKE Last night a dinner was given for the institute at Duke university, at which time members heard a short talk by Talbot Patrick, president of the North Carolina Press association, and an address by John Newton Aiken of the editorial department of the Baltimore Sun.

Nigrelli, who made all statements for the two, did not name "Your guiding angel will give, you resuscitation if you will call by my window in, the "form of an apple! (Temptation)." Although not specified in the con tract, the two fasting students entered into a gentleman's agreement to ac company Bob Magill, Carl Pugh, and any other associates that they might have, to the grill of Graham memorial where water is fed to Nigrelli and Jackson, while the others partake nu trition. At press time last night, both had not broken the contract, and were op timistic over the forth-coming second day of fasting. Let the Daily Tar Heel keep your friend3 at home informed. Andrews Discovers Food-MaidngProcess (Continued from first page J head, for only one ounce of cystine is derived from one pound of .hair. Although the process of extraction is not particularly intricate or diffi cult, much time is needed to change the hair into cystine. First Dr. An drews places the hair, cleaned and with the fats removed, in dilute acid and the solution is boiled for several hours. Finally when all the hair is dissolved, it is removed from the flame and in place of what had been acid and hair is the black syrupy fluid. j This is composed of organic products, some trash, sand swept up from the barbershop floor, and cystine, part of which can be seen precipitated and floating in the murky fluid. PURE CYSTINE Further treatment, which includes decolorization with charcoal and the removal of waste material and or ganic matter, results in a white sandy powder which is the pure cystine. On the invitation offDr. Andrews we, with some trepidation, tasted the powder. Surprisingly enough it was absolutely without taste and not un pleasant except for its gritty composi tion. He explained that the cystine was absolutely harmless and had been used with success as a part of the diet of guinea pigs, rats and other ani mals. N Only on rare occasions is cystine harmful to the body. This occurs in persons whose bodies are not fitted to digest the product and it is either excreted as waste or accumulates as stones on the kidney or gall bladder. These must often be removed by an operation. Someday, when and if all our food is synthesized, cystine may be a part of our daily diet, but until then it is thought that present-day undeveloped tastes will prefer scrambled eggs and sirloin steaks. Thompson Writes Paper In Swedish (Continued from first page) brilliant journalists have started their careers as student editors, re- minding us also that the Harvard Crimson was once edited by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Lawrence's article was not trans lated from English into Swedish, but written in v. Swedish." Lawrence is studying linguistics at Uppsala, tak ing courses in Swedish, Icelandic, Old English and Sanskrit. After a mid-winter tour of Finland, Russia, Esthonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany and Denmark he plans to transfer to the Universitv of Lund to work under the scholar and teacher of linguistics, Erik Noreen. Athletic Authorities Say Skidmore To Stay (Continued from first page) the past, present, and future, Laur ence Leonard, sports editor of the Greensboro Daily News, was the main speaker of the evening. "Playing three years of excellent ball does not make a winner," Leonard said. "A boy can be a winner if he plugs along on the bench for two sea sons and stars his final year." Coach Fetzer urged the Monogram club men to pass all their work and help spirit among the rest of, the stu dent body. Distributing the football letters, Coach Wolf thanked the team for the cooperation it has given him for three years. He urged every man to come out for winter practice and make every effort to pass his work. Dr. Rose To Wed Baltimore Doctor Announcement of the engagement and approaching marriage of Dr. Jean Evans Rose, daughter of Mrs. Augustus Steele Rose and the late Dr. A. S. Rose of Fayetteville, to Dr. William Curtis Stifler, Jr., of Balti more, was made here Thursday by the fiancee's mother. - The wedding is to take place dur ing the summer. Dr. Rose was graduated from the University and Cornell Medical col lege and is now on the resident staff of the Union Memorial hospital in Baltimore. She was a member of the Pi Beta Phi fraternity here. Dr. Stifler is the son of Dr. and Mrs. William Cl Stifler of Baltimore. He was graduated from Amherst col lege and from the Johns Hopkins Medical school. He is at present on the resident staff of the Johns' Hop kins hospital. He is a member of the Chi Phi fraternity. FROSTED MALTED 5c SUTTON'S ECHOES From the Fourth Estate By LAFFITTE HO WARD (WILL AREY, Pinch-Hitting) Howard's column is echoing with lighter material this morning as we print facts and rumors that fail to make the front page. PRESENT: For the crowds that have joined Walter Spearman in won dering about Charlie Gilmore, last year's managing editor of this sheet, during the last few months (a3 well as during his stay on the University campus) we pass along the word that Charlie is definitely stationed in At lanta coveing "crime". for the Con stitution . . . Every time the Dekes light a cigarette the coeds at Archer wait for the village fire department to be called out . . . Mickey Warren, who last fall expressed pity for the girl who won the campus "SA" title, is now receiving fan mail from all parts of the nation. The most sex appealish coed's latept scribe is a California resident. FUTURE: Editor Carl Pugh will have another surprise for readers of the "Bue" this month. Not content with his Chinese version of "Contact Bridge," he now haspictures of hu man beings that would give Franken stein a scare. Watch out for the G men once the publication is off the press . . . Howard adds his bit here by offering a used three cent stamp for the best limerick to fit the follow ing society note: Gladys Best Tripp's latest shadow turns out to be named Chasten, to quote the directory he is James Richard Chasten of Wilming ton. PAST: The student body, or parts of it, still resent the injustice done at the Wake Forest game this week when students were placed in the old bleacher seats while paying visitors covered the new Woollen gym seating section .". . When Voit Gilmore re ceived a letter from a girl up the Northern way recently, he lost "no time in answering and requesting a picture. The girl, who had seen his likeness in Time following the Presi dent's visit to the campus, rushed a photo to her hero. She soon had an admirer, and V. G. sent her a bid to the German club mid-winters. P.S. We hear she "had other plans for that week-end."
