Student Loan Fund
yd
Total Of $3,000
Now Available
To Worthy Students
Student loan funds of the Univer
sity have just been boosted by $1,000,
a gift from the Order of the Grail,
student service -organization. With
the interest from this money, plus
that from $2,000 already in the Grail
loan fund,' the order will award One orj
more $75 tuition scholarships annual
ly to worthy students.
The entire $3,000, accumulated since
1930, has been made from informal
dances sponsored by the Grail at a
price intended to be within the range
of every student. The recent addition
of $1,000 represented earnings this
year.
LONG-TERM LOANS -
J. A. Williams, supervisor of the
division of credits and collections,
makes long-term loans of the money
through regular student loan channels
of the University. Williams, a member
of the class of 1928, was taken into the
Grail in 1925.
As interest on the loan fund accrues,
the regular University scholarship
committee, meeting with two members
of the Grail, will award as many
scholarships annually as the amount
of interest will allow.
Following the death of Dr. William
S. Bernard, faculty adviser, in 1938, the
Grail named the awards the Bernard
Grail scholarships. v

MqKEE GIVES TALK
ON HINDU FAITH
Has Spent Several
Years In India
Declaring the Hindu religion to be
the most tolerant in the world, Bill
McKee, secretary of the YMCA, who
himself lived several years in India,
explained "The Concepts of Hinduism"
to the junior-senior, cabinet last night.
"Hinduism admits and assimilates
all creeds so long as they acknowledge
the caste system and the superiority
of the Brahmans, or the priest caste,"
he said. rf"The Hindus defy everything
which in any way affects their lives;
hence Ghandi's present doctrine of
non-violence. The third salient charr
acteristic of the religion is the doctrine
of self-punishment practiced by the
fakirs," he said.
The main semblance to Christianity,
which the Hindus abhor mainly because
it means breaking caste, is the striv
ing throughout life to do good deeds in
order that one may achieve immortali
ty by union with the soul of Brahma,"
he explained. "By such acts the soul
is either immortalized or transmi
grated to a higher caste."

You Won't Have Much
Right To Complain
After Reading This
By SANFORD STEIN
To most students the incident which
occurred in the Duke stadium last Sat
urday and which is no longer mention
ed in polite society had its depressing
moments, but to the Pi Kappa Alphas
and to Mitchell Britt it brought con
sequences depressing enough to turn
a missionary into a confirmed atheist.
The Pikas made an agreement among
themselves that if Carolina lost to
Duke, all the members of the frater
nity would go unshaved and wear straw
hats and overalls until Thanksgiving.
They started yesterday and several
people have already mistaken them
for State college students.
What makes it all so intriguing is
that the Pikas are throwing a house
party this weekend, and the girls will
not only be entertained by a very un
Esquirish group of males but will also
have a week's growth of beard to cope
with. Aye, as one coed said, "That's
the rub."
BEGINNING THE ODYSSEY

Everett dormitory resident who last

JUNIORS SCHEDULE
BUDGET MEETING
$1500 Appropriated
For Dance Funds
Balloting on the Junior Class budget
with its $1500 dance appropriation will
be held in Gerrard hall Thursday morn
ing at 10:30. An orchestra will be on
hand to aid in drawing the quorum.
"Frosty Snow, treasurer of the class,
will read the financial report to the
assembly and a vote will be taken by
ballot. A minimum of 324 'aye' votes
is necessary for the acceptance of the
budget.
"HOPE, HOPE"
Only the senior class so far has
failed to have its budget passed at the
first meeting and Gates Kimball, J unior
prexy, expressed the hope that the
third year students would not have the
same experience. "We feel that the
juniors are interested enough in the
affairs of their class to turn out well
over the quorum in attendance," he
said.
Other officers of the class are Steve
Foster, secretary and Chunk Jenkins,
vice-president.
Survey Shows Students Favor
Cultural Courses In College
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 16. If Amer
ican students could plan the course of
study for the nation's colleges and
universities, an overwhelming ma
jority would prescribe wide cultural
background, the student opinion sur
veys of America find in their latest
national poll of campus thought.
Only 17 per cent of the country's
collegians believe that higher edu
cation should be mainly technical and
professional training. The rest say
that they prefer a curriculum that
will embrace a general education ra
ther than one that will produce men
and women primarily skilled in the
trades and the professions. But 37
per cent of this last group make it
clear that their choice is the school that
presents a blending oi tne two ex

Disclosure
!For
Dr. Donald Stewart
Takes Issue With
"Richardson's Action
Declaring "the health and welfare
departments, cannot with propriety
reveal to students living conditions as
they exist in and around Chapel
Hill," Dr. William P. Richardson,
county public health officer, prevented
a presentation of the situation
scheduled Sunday evening on the
Union Student forum program, the
Daily Tar Heel, learned yesterday.
It was disclosed that the depart
ment of public health had promised
a committee in charge of the forum
program, that a "real live skit, played
by county nurses and depicting the
actual situation, would be presented.
Two weeks after the promise the
committee was informed that it would
be impossible to present the skit, al
though' a test case report by the nurse
who had visited the homes and knew
the circumstances would be permissa
ble. CASE REPORT FORBIDDEN
Sunday morning, the day of the
forum, Dr. Richardson summoned Dr.
Donald Stewart of the Presbyterian
church, an advocate of revealing con
ditions, to a meeting of public health
and welfare representatives and in
formed him tkat the case report could
not be given as originally planned.
He gave as his reasons that the de
partments of public health and wel
fare were not charitable ones, and
that since the Union Student forum
was planning a collection to be used
for welfare work, a revelation of con
ditions to the forum would be equiva
lent to the department's soliciting
funds.
Included in the denial was a state
ment that "the departments of public
health. and public welfare, being of
ficial bodies, cannot solicit funds for
any charitable purposes."
STEWART'S STAND
In reply to this attitude, Dr. Stew
art yesterday emphasized that it was
the Union Student forum which had
planned the collection.
He also said, "Anyone attributing
the solicitation of funds to the health
and welfare departments is mani
festly wrong, and equally so is the
fear of the departments themselves
lest they be so construed."
Dr. Stewart recently portrayed the
present state of Negro and White
housing in a signed article in the
Chapel Hill Weekly. He wrote, "In
one house there lived ten persons in
three rooms. There are the mother
and three illegitimate children, and
the
grandmother who is the only
breadwinner for these five . . . The
mother is an open syphilitic and lies
on the bed adjoining the new-born
infant. Cases of other kinds like this
can be cited."

of the bill to approve the action of
