FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1943 THE DAILY TAR HEEL. eAGE TWO Passing Shadow iiunininniinninniiiinninniiniininmiiunmniintnL . Flexible Exam Schedule Would Help Student Body By Paul Komisaruk The University's most iron-bound and possibly annoying ruling continues to wreck havoc during every exam week.vIt is the ruling that sets the time for examinations with the proviso that once set, the examination time may not be changed. The subject is brought up now, some six weeks before examina tions, in the hope that these following proposals will be looked into and acted upon in time for the March examinations. There is no reason to discuss at any great length the disadvan tages and abuses of the present exam-time set-up. Some of these more obvious and flagrant abuses, we are already familiar with : O That of preparing for an admittedly difficult exam and sometimes two exams in one night, the day immediately following the end of class meetings. O That of having a total of one or two exams to take, and find ing it is necessary to wait two or three days to complete them days of idleness and waste. This condition can be magnified many times. Every student at the Hill has experienced these difficulties. In March if anything they will become aggravated. For in March there will be a greater flux and movement, with students being called up by the Reserves, or draft boards. The solution to this jumbled condition is an obviously simple one. So much so that we have often wondered why no proposals have been forth coming. ' - "".i.afcgj The problem would be solved this way : Have each faculty mem- ber place his examinations in his office at the start of the exam period. Let each student study for his exam at his own speed, leisure, and above all ability to study. When prepared for the test, (anytime during the exam period) let him go to his profes sor's office, take the exam, and return it in the alloted time. Make only one proviso. Once the student enters the office, he must take the examination. No backing out and coming back to morrow for the test. Or better yet, at the last class meeting, let each student signify when he or she desires to take the test, and then enforce that schedule rigidly. At least it would be drawn up due to the needs and qualifications of the individual student. It should be noted here that these proposals are all perfectly in keeping with the spirit and letter of the honor system. More, such a development might serve as living proof that the Honor System as such continues to function. On that score, there may be no objections. If a certain percentage of the student body will violate the Honor Code, they are as apt to do it under the present set-up as under any system that might be devised. K These suggestions are for the greater mass of the student body. We feel they should be considered carefully and answered com pletely. " Sure Thing You can have your doubts about whether or not the money you gave to the WSSF ever did its work. Ships are sunk and the pro tocol between the Axis and us isn't all good. You can have yorur doubts about what per centage of money for the U. S. O. has to go to keep up its extensive office machinery. But there can be no doubt about the March of Dimes. Part of the money stays here for children in Orange County afflicted with infantile paralysis. Part goes into the national foundation for the clinics and hospitals all over the country. It is put to work. The money asked isn't much. It's no more than you'd spend in the morning for a couple of cokes, no more than you'd drop in your dresser drawer and forget. Give when the student canvassers come around, more than a dime if you can, certainly not less for a cause as critical and re sults as good. & IB ail: The official newspaper of the Carolina Publications Union of the Univer sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where it is printed daily except Mondays, and the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Holidays.

But there's one thing I'll say for Carolina weather. There's al- ways plenty of it. Have you seen the ad on the back page of the Daily Tar Heel,, which reads : "Wanted : Student to worlc 25 hours a week at filtration plant. Sal ary, plus free room." Are they kiddin'? Maybe he can use the room to store old razor blades, . Idle thought on "Life Be gins at 8:30." ... All Woolley and a yawn wide., Afterthought on lovers: Boyer needs hair Ditto Astaire. During a lull in AEF activi ties in London last Week a col ored boy, new to the British Isles was playing a bit of poker with a few British Tommies. Picking up his hand he found four aces. One of the Britons opened and said, "I'm in for a pound." The dark hero of our story answered, "I dunno how ya'll count ya money, but I'll raise you about one ton." Maybe it should be spelled "Error" Flinn. Alack, alas, A lack of gas. I was walking through the arboretum one afternoon last week, and I overheard the fol lowing conversation : "Girls can be kissed against their will." Followed by a slap, and then a long silence. For days now I've been wondering about the answer to that question. Did she slap him and succumb? Did she slap him and run? Did he pass out when she slapped him? I can't go on like this. I've got to know how it turned out. I'm not kidding. I've got to Cadets Will Dance Saturday Because of Coed's Letter Cadets will be permitted to attend the President's Ball Satur day night because the following Graft by a coed, aroused alter a "Dear Commander Graff : , "If the reason for cadets not being admitted to the Presi dent's Ball Saturday night has been given to the students cor rectly, the campus as a whole would like to protest. We have been given to understand that cadets will be unable to attend the dance because the officers feel it is their turn to go danc ing and Navy discipline forbids both students and officers at tending the same social func tions. "If our assumptions are cor rect there are two particularly valid causes for real anger on the part of the people of Chapel Hill. First, this is a public dance being given to raise money for children stricken by infantile paralysis. Since the object is to raise ' as much money as possible it stands to reason that the sum total of of ficers' admission fees would not be even a quarter of the amount to be gained from cadet admissions. "The other objection I would make is one hinging on a sub ject that is none of my affair, but which is nevertheless per tinent. In times like these when democracy and fair play are being tried on the battle fields of the world and unity and cooperation are being de manded of all peoples, it seems out of place for officers of the United States Navy to refuse to unite with cadets under their supervision in support of a charity effort for fear of vio ACROSS 1 Arrived 6 Highways 10 Fruit skin 14 Verbal , v 15 Mistake 16 Breathe noisily 17 Little devil 18 Javelin 19 In poorer health 20 -Trifle 22 -Spiteful woman 23 -Comparative endinp 24- Harmonized 25 Burden 27- Prefis down 28- Bags tabbr.l 29- Ominous 32 -Extra 84 Hebrew ascetic 36 Tenor 37 Smell 39 -Cravat 40 Turfs 41 Part in play 42 Kind of poem 45- -Late American author 46 Device for walking on snow 48 Beater used to mix mortar 50 Cent iabbr.l 61-ewlft 52 One who corrupt 64 Call for silence 56 Attacks 57 Pass along 59 Small lakes 61 Permit ANSWER PREVIOUS ISlCIAITi iSlTjgjsbML- A W T O A 2L1MEM.

"I hope you understand the sincerity of our intentions in writing thjs letter. We do not imply any ctriticism of the Navy, an institution of which we are certainly ardent ad mirers. Nor are we writing out of personal interest, since we are not going to attend the dance with cadets. Our annoy ance is the result of a genuine disappointment that the in fantile paralysis drive should be minus such a large part of the community. , Very sincerely yours, J A coed." As soon as Commander Graff received this letter he phoned the coed and asked her to come to see him. Scared, sorry -she had ever written the letter, she went to the entrance of the Pre-Flight schopl and was im mediately escorted to the com mander's office. . Commander Graff pointed out that her facts were er roneous, that cadets had been forbidden , to attend, not be cause of the officers, but be cause of a lack of facilities." Upon consideration of the general disapproval of the or der, Commander Graff revoked it, promised the coed that all the cadets would be allowed to go to the ball and sent her home in his private car.

In di rect contradiction to what the article said, even the British have admitted that the Akyab drive in Burma is as yet mere ly a local action. It would take 10 times the men engaged to even get within hailing dis tance of Lashio and the Burma Road. If and when Akyab falls, the Men of Wavell will still have a campaign of major import to fight if they want to open the Life Line to China. As for the return of the Chi nese military mission, we don't blame them if they never even get on an American boat again. They got the merry old run around when they came to Washington and unless we've missed a late flash, got little if any of the materials they need to fight the war in China. ' Evidence of the Fervent de sire of Chiang Kai Shek's gov ernment for a decent share in Lend-Lease have been the Chinese-inspired reports of a possible breakdown in the near future unless aid comes fast and furious. It would seem that the solid Chinese are getting fed up with the deal they've been getting. They probably don't agree with the rest of the world that Ja pan is the second enemy. A viewpoint you can't blame them for, since they've been losing a lot of men and a pret ty big portion of their land to this second-rate enemy. Much more important to keep Fighting China fighting than to renunciate extra-territorial right would be an effici ent airplane shuttle system to replace the Burma road. Not too many transports would be needed for this work and at one time the full quota of cargo planes were promised to China. Then U. S. officials were so sorry and the planes got plumb diverted. The best way to give China hope is to give China coopera tion. Pour arms and ammuni tion into the country. There are millions of people waiting only for arms, people inspired by a fierce hatred of the invad ers. The smart thing to do would be to give them an even break against a well-equipped enemy.
