(It was not Founder's Day.) The University of North Carolina in standpoint of operation is the oldest state university in America. As such, it is the first of the public supported universities that are so valuable to these United States. Patriots who had just gone through a War for Independence and Freedom gave attention at once to two things : a form of gov ernment, and a system of schools with which to train for the re sponsibilities of freedom. Thus in the Halifax constitution of 1776 ofTfYRFR (North Carolina was at war) the State wrote into its basic law provisions for a university. 12, 1793 Chartered in 1789 (by the same group of men assembled at Fayetteville who voted to seek admittance by North Carolina into the United States) the University's cornerstone was laid October 12, 1793 during the Washington administration, - Last year's University Day was an outstanding one in that several new buildings were dedicated. Today and tomorrow there will be no buildings dedicated, but this University Day will live long in the -memory of those who love this great university. It will be known as the year in which a great university faced an other crisis, the year in which a great university did her part to train men for service in a national emergency. A year in which both professors and students looked on an uncertain world with saneness. 1 - Students in college today should not feel that they are working under a handicap. They should realize that these are the "golden years," the years in which they can make a mark, the years in which they can serve their country more than ever before.

Campus Keyboard By The Staff CHANGES MADE o Thorp Off To Good Start All this week, smiles and glad-handers have been at a prem ium, as traditional rush week takes over our campus scene. Yet, this year it's different. Not that the fraternity boys still are not putting on the "dog" to greet prospective members, not-that "hot-boxes" still do not roast. But, for the first time in a good many years, fraternities seem to be bearing a responsibility. In other years it was a mad scram ble among the Greeks with each house fighting for its slice of the cake and the devil take the hindmost. The trouble has been that when each fraternity look ed out solely for its own interests, the welfare ,of all fraternities, and what is even more important, the welfare of the campus and student self-government have been sent down the river of inefficiency and out-and-out hypocrisy. This year, under the guidance of John Thorp, president of the Interfraternity Council, the Greek houses are beginning to show some responsibility. As an invaluable aid to rushees Thorp put out a fraternity guide book this summer. It gives advice and tips to freshmen that correct many of the inequalities between fresh man and frat members of the past. It is a frank and honest ap praisal of fraternities and leaves the question of joining squarely up to the individual students. As far as policy and living up to the spirit of the law is con cerned, John Thorp and his Interfraternity council has done an admirable job so far this year. The start is a good one, and all that is needed now is for the Greek houses to continue their spirit of taking a real responsibility toward their campus and its prob lems throughout the year. It's a tough test, but we are willing to wager that the success or permanent failure of fraternities will depend upon it. 0 In Passing 'Tew teachers or administrators who have been at work during the decade just ended need be told that public education is under fire. In every community there are many sincere people who turn back in their thinking to more peaceful and happy days of yore. Not knowing that thus they are only making an effort to escape reality, they regard the old days as golden, happy, peaceful days-r-a veritable golden age. Everything that existed in those old days is touched with a roseate glamour that makes them seem ideal. Thus, when the problem of supporting the school arises, there are, in every community, a substantial number of middle-aged people who are quite ready to turn against modern school practices and who bring forth many arguments to show that the ways of teaching in their youth were much superior to those of the present. Yet seri ously to attempt to impose the kind of teaching that was done in 1911 on 1941 were as futile- as to attempt to abolish automobiles in favor of horses and buggies, to silence all radios, to abolish all chain stores, or to tear up all concrete highways." Orville T. Fordham had a little ram, etc. This isn't the effect of the coming week-end casting shadows before, but the truth. Their mascot of the same biological species as our own Barneses is com ing down to play in our yard this after noon. And everywhere that Fordham went our ram was sure to lets go Car olina! - The invading pigskinners are now amongst us, while we alternately pray for a cool day so we'll be comfortable in the cheering sec tion, and a scorcher so they'll have a Real sample of southern hospitality. Whoever wins, the campus will still be heavily occupied tonight and we don't mean in the arboretum and Gimg houl alone. The usual bevy of soldier lads will migrate, but this time they have fun. The enterprising Max wells (good to the last crop, too) in Mclver are inviting a group of the glamour khakies to play parlor games with them tonight. All the Carolina gentlemen who've had the intestinal fortitude to hang on till some body COLD OR HOT HARLEY MOORE FINALLY answered the phone over in that domicile, and get a date for tonight with an inhabitant can join in idle chatter' with the defense forces. We seem to be pursuing the right track at least according to some of the letters to the editor.' Far from being critical, this little lad is a hog about our policy. "Dear Editor," he writes, "This is just in praise of that new wonderful column you recently installed in your paper, "Signifying Nothing" by Harley Moore has a certain quality of work which makes it superior to anything I have ever read. I think you should print a lot more of Harley Moore's, fine satire in the Tab Heel. Signed, Harley Moore." We seem to have a cross between George Bernard Shaw and Soroyan within our ranks. With self-respect like that you should go far, young man, and soon puhlease! The Question: What punishment should be imposed by the Stndent Council on a student convicted of a first cheating or stealing offense? Harry Tucker, Senior, Raleigh: believe that a student should be placed on probation rather than expelled for his first of fense. However, no exacting rule can be laid down for his punish-, ment. His situation and individual position must be taken into' account. His attitude towards his offense and his past record must also be considered. I can see no distinction in stealing, whether it is a pencil or a library book, but there is a different case for each student. With this in mind, a penalty in accordance should be imposed." Jane Ward, Senior, Chapel HU1: "I think that the circumstances surround ing the offense are more important than the offender. Except in- very serious instances, the student should be placed on probation for the duration of the year, rather than kicked out of school. This will make the student more conscious about his conduct, but after a second offense, he should be automatically expelled." ' - C. B. Morrisette, Senior, Elizabeth City: "I don't believe there can be any set rule to cover this question because of the , importance of the individual case and the offenders past record. There is little distinction between the two offenses, one stealing material, the other stealing ideas.. If possible, the Council should attempt to seek to correct as well as to punish the stu dent. Stealing for financial reasons might be corrected by self-help work or a loan, in cheating, it should be de termined whether the student is men tally capable of doing the work he was found cheating on. . In every serious case, the offender, should be immedi ately expelled." -.- Grimsley Hobbs, Freshman, Chapel Hill: "I believe that in an ordinary case, a warning would correct the stu dent and show to him the seriousness of his offense, but in a very serious case, I would favor expelling-the stu dent. Furthermore, I believe that the punishment should be the same, wheth er the President of the Student Body or the littlest freshman is the offender." Jack Potter, Sophomore, Wilming ton: "I favor probation for a first of fender in cheating or stealing." " How ever, I don't believe there is an accep table excuse for stealing or cheating here on the campus. Theoretically, the law is no respector of persons." The decision should be based on the value J of the stolen article or the degree of ' ? 1 A seriousness in cneating. Any one 01 f ense can be covered by a blanket rule." Music Maker By Brad McCuen It Happens By Brad McCuen Flasii The Budapest Stringed Quartet have been signed to play for Fall Germans. Local Boys Make Good: Chapel Hill is becoming better represented in the music world every day. Here are some of the reasons. You remember Jimmy Farr who came to school in the class of '43. Jim my started his own band which played for Grail dances and other such af fairs. The band stayed together only a year because Jimmy got his chance to hit the big time with Dean Hudson's orchestra. Dean liked Jimmy's trum pet playing and found out that there were more like him at home. Jimmy's kid brother Tommy, fresh out of high school then, was sent for and joined the band with his trombone at the Blue Gardens in Armonk, N. Y. The Farr brothers didn't stop there however, be cause Dean has had to find replace ments for both of them. Johnny Long was looking for a hot trumpet ride-man but stopped when he heard Jimmy. The elder Farr now is soloing on all the jump tunes that the Long band cuts. Brother Tommy remained with Dean until late last spring. Tony Pastor played for Junior-Seniors and while here heard some talk about Tommy's ability. That talk resulted in Tommy being contracted to play with the Pas tor band where he is today. This past spring Bruce Snyder was playing in Freddy Johnson's campus crew. Then his big break came. Tom my Dorsey, here for May-Frolics, heard Bruce. Now instead of playing bar itone sax for Johnson, he's playing it for Tommy Dorsey. Need we say that Mr. Snyder is on top. We were talking about Dean Hudson above. Dean raided Freddy Johnson's band last year to take Bob Hartsell with him as piano-man. Bob is an outstand ing piano-arranger in the opinons of music critics from John Hammond on down. On a recent Okeh recording date that this band was doing Bob was featured on a number of his own com position. It had not been named when the recording supervisor asked Dean what to call it on the label. Dean thought for a while then came up with Holly Hop." Holly is Dean's nick name for Carolina's lad with the nimble digits. keeping pace with pace Don't blame this column on the DTH staff; it's entirely my fault. I figured there wasn't any need of starting for the first week or so; because everybody would read the paper then anyhow. All of which reminds me of the ego tistical freshman who walked in chapel the other day just as his classmates rose to sing the "Carolina Victory March". He dashed down the aisle. turned around, and yelled: "That's al right folks, sit . down, sit down, IH find a seat somewhere!" Alarming Pep Rally Chapel Hill High school's Thursday night pep rally just off West Franklin and Malette Streets caused the fire de partment to be called unnecessarily when some civic minded individual turned in an alarm for what, turned out to be the rally's bonfire. Hearing that spirit among the high school students was at a low ebb, Cur ry Jones, Carolina's head cheerleader, took time off to lead the rally through all the school cheers. ; Send the DAILY TAR HEEL home Letters To Editor (Letters must be typed.

Third: (This is the inconsisten cy) A majority were opposed to the United States entering the war against Hitler. If Germany is a menace, as weak as she is, at 5000 miles; then Germany, which is a hundred fold stronger in arms, and only 3000 miles away is a thousandfold greater menace to the United States. If the United States has a responsi bility in a post-war Europe, then Hitler and Fascism must be defeated to in sure the existance of a Europe that the United States can help. These premises are correct, and the poll showed that the campus opinion agreed, then the only conclusion that can be reached is that the United States should declare war on Germany I We I must start sending aid to,; the- Soviet union and continue sending aid . tn Britain.
