NEWS : C B. McG AUGHE Y '
the job is hard
A five-man committee has
been set up to "study and make
recommendations in the major
problems of student govern
ment." One of the first prob
lems to be considered is "the
Honor system.
Always under fire by those
doubting Thomases who seek a
Utopia and wax skeptical after
hearing of a cheating case or a
dismissal, the system has under
gone more criticism this spring
than at any time since the
cheating ring expose in 1936.
There is no practicality in be
lieving the Honor system can be
perfect. Perfect, it would be a
failure. Some erring soul will
always slip : at the time the fear
of failure will be greater than
the fear of apprehension.
. But the job for the commit
tee is to find better means of
inculcating the Honor system
tenets into next year's freshmen.
It is understood that the ma
jority of cases this year involved
freshmen; and the usual plea
was "we didn't understand."
Which makes the committee's
job all the harder. It is near the
"impossible to teach the Honor
principles through the freshman
handbook or the short, every-minute-f
ull orientation week.
Experience remains a hard
teacher. And we wish the com
mittee well in trying to find new
ways, to put the Honor system
over. The job must be done if
we are still to keep the system.
And we want to keep it.

police vs. students
Press reports from Char
lottesville inform us that 16
University of Virginia' students
were hurt in a brawl with local
police which lasted nearly all
last week-end.
The students were enraged!
because of what they claimed
to be unfair treatment by of
fleers. They protested by light
ing bonfires, blocking traffic and
breaking out a few street lights.
Someone called the police but
the students refused to "cheez-
it." A few heads were wliacked
and everyone had a glorious
time until one student, had his
skull fractured.
The next night (Sunday) the
iw-COVered seraentine walls of
the campus nearly failed to hold
the students within their
bounds. A majority wished to
enter the town proper and hare
an "understanding" with the
police. . A few of the more ra
tional persuaded the mob to hold
its peace until a discussion with
the faculty could be held.
)gtra thi about the mar
is that the University of Vir
ginia seemed to be in sympathy
with the students. Apparently
the students had a reasonable
enough argument.
There is no condoning malic
ious vagrants. But still it has to
be realized that college students
will raise particular hell every
now and then. And it is better
for the police to take on an
understanding attitude. . When
some carousing Carolina student
crets a little bothersome the
Chapel Hill police usually . turn
him the right way and start him

court the student js charged a

.No less a personage than Winthrop
W. Aldrich, chairman of the Chase Na

there is little possibility of war in Eu

opinion on the further opinion that it

THE
THEATER
i
By ADRIAN SPIES
. Ending a season which has fea
tured more experimental work than
usual, the Carolina Playmakers of
fered their final experimental bill
Wednesday night. Indulging in the
unbounded geographical extents of
the fanciful mind, the plays were
concerned with such- divergent spots
as New England, western North
Carolina, and South Texas. There is,
unfortunately, more to vital drama
than, geography.
"Out From New Bedford," by Fred
Walsh, is a somewhat outmoded tale
of whalers that suffered most from
the author's own indecisions. For,
until the play resolved itself into
fairly acceptable comedy, it was a
dreary affair that seemed too serious
about a hackneyed plot. But the
comedy lifted the veil of forced heavi
ness and was, in this case, the most
effective approach to good theater.
The reviewer feels that Walsh
missed by reverting to an almost ar-
cnaic DacKgrouna. iis people were
not big enough to be really impor
tant characters, and thus as- plain
exposition their story didn't seem
worth the telling. Humor was needed
in a situation which lost many of its
implements for tragedy when oil
was struck in Pennsylvania ' and
whales became sideshow commodities
at divers world fairs.
There is potentially admirable
drama in the situation which Walsh
has apparently seen and sensed but
not written. Something of more cur
rent interest could be injected by a
playing up of the factory angle a
device which the reviewer waited for
throughout. When the author draws
his focus more sharply and colors his
characters more fully, he will have a
play.
"These Doggone Elections by
Fred Koch, Jr., is a farce that is
really funny in spots and which of
fers the faintest murmur of social
protest. Devoted, in a good-natured
and colorful way, to a disclosure of
election frauds in the Piedmont, the
play catches its audience by meari3 of
low comedy, funny folkiness, and
several fine character-drawings. Al
though sometimes a trifle on the bur
lesque side, the play achieves its ap
parent purpose of good-natured finger
pointing admirably. The author is to
be congratulated in his attempt to
amuse an audience with.a factual de
nunciation. He was aided by . what
was easily the best cast of the eve
ning as well as the best piece of di
recting. Without aiming specifically at Fred
Koch, we would like in our last re
view of this year to express a hope:
it is that someday the misfortunes
and personal corruptions of oppressed
people may be exhibited without first
resorting to the medium of superior
laughter. But the younger Koch has
