Sports: ED PRIZER Students in Academics An Intercollegiate Press bul letin from Dartmouth college reads in part: "Proposals to have Dart mouth undergraduates take a hand in devising educational policies of the college have had their first concrete result in the appointment by the Eng lish department of a special faculty committee to meet pe riodically with representatives of the English Council of Eng lish Majors, a body of 12 men formed this year. "Some steps toward student representation in depart mental counsels have already been taken in the social sciences at Dartmouth, but . the English department's fully organized plan is the most im portant development to date. In accepting the student ' pro posal, the department com mended the purpose and or ganization of the Council of English Majors, while the Daily Dartmouth, which has backed the idea of student participation, declared editor ially that "congratulations can be equally divided between- the students who had the initia tive to organize the commit-, tee and the faculty who had the sympathy to recognize it' as valid and constructive func tion of the educational pro cess." ' The Daily Tar Heel stands ready to ditto these congratu lations to any academic de partment and to any group of majors in any field who under take a similar step toward student representation in curricular affairs. Register Wednesday Universal military conscrip tion will first assert itself to 1,000 Carolina students next Wednesday when they file through a registration line at Woollen gymnasium to give their names and other infor mation which the government is requiring for its draft ma chinery. The Central Records office has worked out an alphabetical schedule so that students may register throughout the day without having to wait in long lines. If this schedule is adhered to, all of the 1,000 should be able to register with a minimum of inconvenience. To facilitate the registra tion, it has been arranged for students to be excused from their classes at the hour of their scheduled appearance at the gymnasium. The entire draft set-up de pends on cooperation to carry it through successfully. Per sons officitaing at the regis tration contribute their serv j ices. The Central Records of fice has donated its equip ment. The cooperation of the 1,000 students is 11 that will be necessary to make the regis tration run off smoothly. ' Academic Freedom' . " 1 . 1 Mr. Nicholas Murray But ler, president of Columbia university, last week gathered all the members of his faculty together and informed them of that university's policy in the present war Situation. He told them, among other things, that the university had thrown its resources into the national defense effort and had enlisted in the war "between beasts and human beings," in which, he said, the United States has been involved economically and ideologically since hostilities began. Perhaps he was right about the United States being in the war. Certainly enough isolationists have been claim ing that for many months. Perhaps he was also right in declaring Columbia university into that conflict. We don't know how much Columbia can help in winning the war for Great Britain; and we aren't decided as to whether Dr. ButT ler should want to get this country into war. But Dr. Butler . also said something else that has brought much damage to lovers of demoracy and peace. For Dr. Butler said that the university must have freedom io pursue its. high ideals, un embarrassed by conduct on the part of members which tends to damage sound learning and moral teaching. And to this denal of freedom of speech and opinion of faculty members he added this: "Academic free dom holds no meaning whatso ever for students. That phrase relates'solely to freedom of thought and inquiry and to freedom of teaching on. the part of accomplished schol ars." That is no new doctrine that President Butler has cooked up for use in the present. war crisis. He said it in 1918, and again in 1935, so he apparently believes in it. That is his defi- RUMINANT ANIMAL nOHIZONTAL 1 Woolly coated animal pictured here. 6 It is a ruminant of the family. 10 It is allied to the animal 14 Braided thong. 15 To climb. 16 Hodgepodge. 17 To shut up. 18.

An actor walk ed through his role- on the screen and there were cliches, but he was here all the same. Through all the synthetic mo ments of height e n e d dramatic climax that too often the fate of film biography his spirit shown t h rough. In the audience they sensed it and felt it. Rockne's spir it was there, and it is good when Americans feel the spirit of America. Sometimes they can feel it zoom ing through a wind-rippled wheat neldin Kansas. Sometimes it quiv ers in the waters of Niagara or comes shimmering over New York harbor when the upraised hand breaks through the mist. Sometimes they know it in the Alabama swamp or on a dingy street in Bos ton. Sometimes it pops out in a goosepimple when they stand astride the Blue Ridge or down near Hatter as when the wind comes howling by a . sanddune. Some times they know it standing by the s Well when the sunlight is hazy through the branches and leaves are fiery red. Certainly they know it when the team first pours onto the field and the band in blue and white has opened its heart. Knute Rockne was the American spirit that plays the game. He was the spirit that spurs them on when the hide's the other way, that replenishes the fight a thousand - fold when there was none. Knute Rockne was the , waving wheat, the swamp, the wa ' terf all and the stuff that is Amer ica. The film yesterday held that spir it in its grasp. It held the sinew and fibre of one among Americans who occasionally interprets to us this land, who throws aside the doubt and brushes the sky with exciting hope even before despair. America needs those men who sweep the people in their grasp and re veal to them whose sight has been too dim to see what it is we have here. Those men renurish the sunk en soul and rekindle the flame. In the theater yesterday the spir it was there, the surging spirit of hope that strengthens muscle and soul. It was a spirit that only great men and great things have inspired in our history. It was all nition of academic freedom, and we cannot merely call him a militarist and a fascist who wants to get us into this war, for he has held this view for many years. But we believe that the views of Dr. Butler are fundamentally wrong and ruinous to American democ racy, and for reasons which we believe to be most important. Dr. Butler claims that aca demic freedom holds no mean ing for students; it is only for scholars (although he seems to deny it now to the scholars of his faculty). This seems to be a matter of definition. We can say that students do deserve academic freedom, the right to seek out the truth and then to speak it out. Dr. But ler can say that that's not what the term means. Perhaps he is right, although a lot of people have been surprised by his definition. What is impor tant, however, is the fact that, in a demoracy, everybody can say what he feels is the truth. Some people believe that we should aid England and thus better defend this country. They have the right to this opinion, and they may be right. Those who believe in directing all our energies to ward home defense without aid to Britain also have a right to be heard notwithstanding Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia.

From the BESSIE TIFT QUILL, Bessie Tift college, Forsyth, Ga., we garnered this 1 bit of filler: He: "Come : on." $ She: He: not?" She: "Just be-, cause. He: "Don't you love me any more?" She: "It isn't that' He: "Please, just this once." She: "No." He: "Aw shucks, Maw. All the other kids are going barefooted." No, we hadn't heard of that col lege before either. - The Coed Ball here a couple of Fridays ago was a pretty nice oc casion replete with the new crop of coeds, male escorts and male stags. The OKLAHOMA DAILY, of the U. of Okla., reveals that coed balls Churches Sunday worship services at the Chapel Hill churches this week will be as follows: at the Presby terian church, the Rev. W. T. Thompson of the Union Theological seminary in Richmond, Va., will talk at 11 o'clock. At the Baptist church, the Rev. G. P. Albaugh will speak on "Jesus and the Liberal Mind" at the morn- (Continued on page 4, column 3) the explorers and adventurers and pioneers rolled into one.

And last week te president of the university broke a long precedent by being the first man to attend. Maybe you're wondering Vihz.t the gals did beside twiddling their thumbs. We quote: "Between guess ing games and bursts of spontan eous entertainment, the girls jit terbugged to the music of tfce Ramblers orchestra. As . usual, one boy dressed as a girl crashed the gate, but 400 alert eyes spied him and 800 willing hands helped him out!" Haw! Venturing over on the serious side: Syracuse U. has been having a time trying to curb wreckless driv ing by Students. Warnings of fines from the police dept. didn't help the situation much. So the editor of the DAILY ORANGE hit upon an idea which had a definite improving ef fect. He instructed his staff of reporters to take down the license number of everyVar. breaking a traffic law. Numbers and offenses were published in the paper the fol lowing morning with "GUILTYP topping the column. Here's the way they were listed: S2413 caused near-accident by stopping in middle of street. Conn. UL417 attempted to frighten friends on curb. 5S2S85 passenger on running board. 3S2528 failed to stop on leaving campus drive. IW9030 illegal parking. Maybe a similar plan would put the damper on what little wreck less driving we have here at UNC. THE VIRGINIA TECH of VPr incudes this one: Will Rogers' sug gested epitaph for a much-married Hollywood matron "At last she sleeps alone!" Well, all right. You stay in bed and we'll go to church.
