McGAUGHEY ADMINISTRATION Might Provide Valuable Course In the past few days we've heard a number of complaints about the "little things that mean so much', e.g. and to-wit: 1) Reports are rife that a num ber of University students, standing accussed and accused as freshmen, have severe cases of baldness at least, these, gentle men forget to remove their hats indoors, even in Swain hall. 2) Another complaint is the University student - with - a-car whose parked automobile sprawls all over entrances, curbs, andor fenders. In truth, a group of them we hear too that faculty cars are also in the general clut tering up looks like one of the intricate mazes the psychology department builds for rats to run. 3) Dr. Carl White, down at the library, comments on the noise made by-talking students, says he gets a bit tired asking talkative persons to be quiet and suggests Kenan stadium, the ar boretum, the respective coed dormitories or just about ..any Other place for Carolina gentle men (famed heroes out of the past) to meet and converse with the new and old Carolina coeds. 'All these situations should be amazingly simple to solve: Mr. Student could remember to re move his hat; Mr. Driver could leave driveways open and park his car "in straight"; Mr. Stu dent and Miss Coed could avoid the library and utilize the afore mentioned spots. Seriously, these problems stand before us. And the afore mentioned Dr. White, we ima gine, has a number of not-oft-used copies of Miss Post's clas sic on etiquette.. Perhaps, as one professor sug gested, the administration could add one more course and do us a great service. It would be. a new field and credit would be given, to freshmen, graduate students (and professors): A general introductory course in "How to Housebreak Oneself." ar Qzd Publication Union of the University year. .Editor Managing Editor -Business Manager -Circulation Manager Issue: Sports: LEONARD LOBRED LEGISLATURE Still Dormant And Worthless Writing of the Student Legis lature in the Freshman handbook this year, Jack Fairley, vice president of the student body and chairman of the legislature, said the legislature's "first year of existence largely because of its inactivity certainly cannot be called a successful one, but this year presents a new oppor tunity to justify its adoption in the Spring of 1938 by a major ity of the student body." A letter to the editor of the Daily Tar Heel urges that the legislature rise from its lethargy and seek its place in the sun. "What has happened to this 'glorious ideal'?" the writer de mands. Whether the legislature de serves the "glorious ideal" title is a moot question. For over a year it has had its opportunity to reveal its value to student gov ernment. Its work thus far has been to idle away hours in or ganizational details and to con duct a meaningless round of "in vestigations" which accomp lished nothing. ' - Still, like the writer of the letter, there are those who main tain their faith in the legislature as .an instrument of student government. Perhaps it is too early to pass final condemnation. One more chance may be all that is needed to transform it into an efficient, worthwhile organiza tion. - We advance the alternative of fered by Chairman Fairley: "If it cannot accomplish these two aims," to benefit its constitu ency and to justify its formation "I believe that most of you will agree that it should be abol ished." . When shall we hear from it? Tap Dancing Classes Need Accompanists Mrs. J. G. Beard, director of physi cal . education for women, announced yesterday that accompanists are need ed "for tap dancing classes in the physi cal education department. Anyone who can play popular music or popu lar and classical music and is interest ed in such a position is asked to come to Room 111,' Woollen gym. at 4:45 today or to call Mrs. Beard at 4411. Squeaks o4nd Squawks By You Seven Sad Sirens . ' co Daily Tab Heel Dear Sirens: Your collective wail has not been lost on the empty air. We pause in the midst of OUR social hustle and bustle to aid you in your orientation. With lordosis, halitosis, and gaposis running rampant in our civilization playing havoc with love's young bloom and the demand for chaperones, it is refreshing, no, it is exciting to find coeds whose personal qualities most closely approximate, the "Petty" idea! of feminine pulchritude. (Assuming o: course that foundation garments are not responsible for the youthful ef feet). And graduate coeds at that. Being graduate students ourselves we appreciate qualities found only in those who have come of age. Since you are possessed of so many favor able qualifications, we realize that there will be something of a stampede for the privilege of squiring you about Chapel Hill during your stay here. And with this in mind we offer our bid and ask that you give it spe cial consideration. We give you the opportunity of se lection. We number among our group mgdical students, (though we can't vouch for them) chemists, (slightly mad) and a selected miscellany of. so ciologists, psychologists, pharmacists, and lawyers. (Any selection from this last group will be made at your own risk). In addition we are virile young men, versed in the ways of love, expert at foiling chaperones, and understand ing of the vagaries of the feminine mind. Expectantly yours, Eleven Languishing Lotharios To The Editor ' Dear Sir: Eighteen months have passed . since we votea into existence our student legislature. Fine words brought it in glorious words. Words like those which tore tyrants . from their thrones were used to usher in this idea to revolutionize student gov ernment. ; Nor was - it unworthy of those words. It was, on a small scale, that kind of idea which is carrying our country, step by step, towards the perfection of which our great men have dreamed for thousands of years It was the tithe which we, as a great university founded on great princi pies, owed to a great nation. Eighteen months have passed, and where is our glorious ideal; what has it done ;i by what right does it exist? If it has one excuse for its existence, it is only that another year, perforce this year, is its last chance to become that which it might have been. The time is now! The students themselves must rise so powerful an outcry that those in whose hands we have entrusted such a large part of our faith in democracy can fail us no longer. We not let such a great forward step perish through sheer indolence. Leo Karpeles To the Editor, Dear Sir: The Sad Sirens should learn that to them that hath, it shall invariably be given. Another Coed. Groves (Continued from Jtist page) one of the most popular senior courses on the campus. It is open to seniors and juniors preparing for law or medicine. During the 13 years 2,000 students have taken it. SIX PRINCIPLES The six most important principles of a successful marriage Professor Groves said when queried by Carnegie are: "1. Affection not mere passion for the chosen mate, the chose mate. "2. An intelligent preparation for marriage and parenthood by both the man and women. "3. The capacity and willingness to build a mutually satisfying home life. "4. Courage in meeting responsi bilities both in and out of the home. "5. A sense of justice which pro tects both the man and the woman from any effort to exploit the other. "6. A desire for children and the ability to give them the comradeship that encourages their emotional maturity and individuality." Sensible? Of course it is! Think this over, you parents, who hope for happy married life for your boys and girls. Don't you think that prep aration for marriage should be taught in every college in the land? .Hats off to the pioneer in this field Pro fessor Ernest R. Groves. L FIRST U. S.

Take a look at some of the thesis subjects of candidates for Ph. D. degrees last year and you'll be inclined to agree with him:. "The Supernatural in the Spanish Non-Religious Comedia of the Golden Age," "The Statistical Be havior of Geiger-Muller Tube Coun ters," "Host Range Studies with Bac terium Solanacearum E.F.S.," "Cer tain Aspects of John Heywood's Vo cabulary in Relation to his Cultural Interest," "Acitivity Coefficients of Lead Chloride in Aqueous Solutions An Investigation concerning the Ef fect of Temperature on the Debye Huckel Ion Size Parameter." Degrees do not always a professor make. The University has four full1 fledged profs who hold only simple A.B. degrees, the kind many of us are floundering around for. They are : O. J. (Skipper) Coffin in journalism, Phillips Russell in journalism, Paul Green in dramatic art, and Guy B. Phillips in education. On the other Conger Elected Head Of Second-Year Medical Students Abe B.

Epps Says (Continued from fbrst page) Might is right," while the philosophy of creative good will says: "Right is might." SELF-PRESERVATION "Self-preservation is the first law," I claims the first philosophy while "its opposite claims that self-immolation is the first law. "Competition is the life of things," as opposed to "Cooperation is the life of things." "Assert yourself; you must to get on," versus "Humble yourself; in honor preferring one another." "Self and self-interest first," ver sus "Justice, mercy,- righteousness first." "Tate your enemies," versus "Love even your enemies." "Get, accumulate for. self," versus "Give, share. If there must be starv ing, we starve together." "Retaliate; give good as sent," ver sus "Forgive always." "Succeed; honestly if you can, but succeed," versus "Serve; who would be greatest let him be servant of all." ENVIRONMENT . "Conform to your environment," versus "Transform your environ ment."
