Night editor for this issue: Dorman Cordell An American Tradition We always thought that members of the University Party were industrious, though they may not have accomplished anything. But the second plank in their announced platform con vinces us that the entire University Party is LAZY. The plank states: "Securing janitor service for making-up beds in dorms This is a very practical idea that certainly is attainable. The service is already in effect at N. C. State. There is no reason we can't have it here also." Most janitors now get about $36 a week. Their work in the dormitories consists of sweeping, dusting, cleaning up lavatories, etc. To add to their burdens would be an unfair burden. This is modern day Carolina. How many men have their beds made at home? How many beds in Chapel Hill are made everyday? We would like the Psychology Department to con duct a survey on this matter. Probably, there are many stu dents, for important reasons, who do not want their beds made daily perhaps only once a week. For many, the bed is a couch, or has some other use during the day. Some students don't get much sleep at night, so they have to concen trate on sleep during the daytime. We recommend that the members of the University Party make their own beds. One of the main reasons lor coming to college is to grow up, to put responsibility squarely on the shoulders of the future citizen. To evade this responsibility, whether it be at Work "or in the home, is pusillanimity of the highest sort. The Daily Tar Heel strongly feels that students, if they desire, should make their own beds. It's a great American tradition! There are other planks in the UP platform that aren't quite so airy as the janitorial one. For instance: The UP wants the student president to sit in on Faculty Council meetings. Faculty Council meetings in which each attending member represents about seven faculty members, is the governing agency of the faculty. It is the only organization we know of where a fairly representa tive faculty opinion can be found. We would go one further than the UP. A representative from The Daily Tar Heel, either the editor or the managing editor should attend such meetings. Efforts to get into the meetings have failed. Also, appeals to the administration have thus far failed although in a year's time, it is conceivable that the press and the stu dents might be allowed to hear what the faculty has to say. Both the UP and the Student Party want the Interdorm Council and the Interfraternity Council to work together. The UP would have committees meet for joint discussion of common problems. The SP wants the presidents of the IFC and the IDC to become members of the Executive cabinet. Both plans are worthwhile. DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1. Electric catfish 5. Serpent lizard 9.

Dear . Mutt, How is every thing back at the ranch house? You really ought to be up here with me at UNC. I haven't yet figured out what this place is, but I think it's some sort of reform school, like when we was growing up on the South Side. Bells ringing all the time and barbed wire stretched across the grass. I hang out during the day at a place they cal the Y court, and what a soft touch. Everyone of these inmates pat me on the head and give me a duoghnut or ice cream. I walk by the steps of a big building where a lot of boys and girls sit and talk, and speaking of squirrels you can run them till your hearts content. , - It is real pretty now here, and I wish I could bring Mom down for a while. She would really en joy it. The people here are really something, they lead a dog's life. They have to get up real early 4 and go into these rooms until a bell rings and then they can come out, but pretty soon they have to go back in, and all the time the weather is so pretty, and the squirrels. . . Momma Mia! The other day I met a cute spaniel, and last night we . romped in the arboretum like a couple of pup pies . . . more fun. But most of the other dogs around here are a bunch of beasts from the east, like the ones that used to hang around the fire station back in Poughkeepsie. Everybody keeps talking about something called Saturday classes and losers, so I imagine it's some sort of game they're playing and there're not many winners. When it's real hot, I go inside this big building with the steps and sleep all day long. At night, though, 1 have to leave because a lot of old men, they must be the guards, get together and play this game, Saturday classes. They come out laughing, though, so I guess they win all the time. It's really hard to figure out. Met a German Po lice here who knows Dan Dach shund from LA. . . used to make the rounds of all the firehydrants when they were together in the K-9 Corps . . .small world ain't it? But you have to watch your step and be careful what you eat around the Y. A person gave me a cup of dark looking stuff, it was hot too, to drink, and it made me sick as a human!!! Sometimes the old profs like to play tricks on me, especially the ones from the Chem building. They soak doughnuts in some bad tasting stuff and then offer it to me, but I bit one you know where yes terday, and they don't mess with me anymore. At night a bunch of us get together and go over to these places they call the pens, where a lot of girls stay and we bark and bark until they come to the window. Then we just sit and look at them, and howl. Well, it's getting late and I'm supposed to meet some of the boys back of the Goody Shop. We're giving a friend of ours a going away party. He was drafted into the dog races. Give everyone my best barks and I might be up in the fall. , Growls, George Express Yourself Editor: There is a situation in Chapel Hill that needs to be corrected. This problem can only be correct ed by the students at the Uni versity. This situation concerns the conduct of the students in the local movie houses. It seems that certain people go to the theater with only one purpose in mind. That purpose is not to see the movie or even to let other people enjoy the entertainment -that the film might offer. These obnoxious people have gone there with the sole purpose of making noise and having a "big time" at the ex pense of others. At a midnight movie about three weeks ago the disturbance reached its climax. Not only was there yelling and throwing of empty popcorn boxes but there was also quite a bit of vulgarity. This would not have given a vis itor in Chapel Hill a very good Louis Party Line On Wade Wade Matthews is a tall fel low with dark hair and lots of ideas on how to improve student government. Matthews is running for stu dent body president, as are three others, and is an independent candidate. Hailing from Winston Salem, the former member of both campus political parties says he's not satisfied with either of them. "Of course I think political parties should nominate their candidates for president. But once a president is elected, he should put political decisions in to the background," said the can impression of the students at the University. It is certain that he would go away wondering what has happened to the present generation. One, as a rule, would gape at the extent to which the parents and the University had failed. Then, one begins to think. Are the parents and schools wholly at fault? The answer is probably "no". If people of this nature had received no guidance from their parents or the schools as to how to conduct themselves, merely the association with their fellow man would teach them the dif ference between right and wrong. It is difficult to describe these persons. They surely don't con duct themselves as ones who have come to an institution of higher learning seeking to gain a fuller and richer life. And yet, they do not act as little kids. They . do not place in either category. Act ually, they conduct themselves as animals animals that haven't been taught to have any respect or concern for their fellow beings. The whole solution depends on the fact that these guilty students must think not only how they are harming others, but also how they are harming themselves. Their reputation and future life are at stake and what they do in future years is dependent to a great ex tent on their actions at present. The animal in the wilderness may live independently but the human being cannot live success fully without the help of those around him.

He speaks at a moderate vol ume, never raising his voice or taking on any of the other dra matic mannerisms peculiar to what students call "those politic ians." We finally, and inevitably, got around to talking about the av erage student's feelings toward student government. He said he had some very definite ideas on how to get students interested. "Students need more informa tion on their government," he said at supper the other nigfit. We noticed that he didn't assume any sacharine sweet smile for the voters as they passed and greeted him. Matthews said students could get some of that informa tion by a weekly mimeographed news sheet posted on bulletin boards. He said that was one of the planks in his platform. He was also very keen on a student's committee on govern ment. "It would be sort of like these citizen's committees for bet ter government, nothing political. The group would act as an ad visor to the president," he ex plained. Matthews said he favored a voluntary Student Entertainment Program, National Student As sociation, some form of Consoli dated University student govern ment, and students having auto- BUT.

We the semesterites we who woefully limp out of bed each Saturday morning to attend class eswe who count the year in terms of halves instead of thirds we who live by an every-other- day schedule welcome you into our company. We regret that you were forced into joining us; but with the command officially given it's time to investigate the pos sibilities and probabilities of Your Life under the Semester System. Or so your editor thought when he asked the Carolinian to point out the trials and tribu lations, joys and delights of said system. Because there's no question about it you're going to have to do some adjusting especially those of you who have never studied under any other schedule. But the picture is hardly as bleak and woeful as it has been painted. A glance around the state should be enough to assure you that life Can be Beautiful even with class es until noon six days a week or have you the mistaken notion that students from Woman's Col lege, State, Duke, Davidson, etc, are plunged into eternal melan cholia? It just isn't so! If we place the semester sys tem and quarter system side by side we can : see the major dif ferences clearly. The quarter system divides the September-to-June academic year into thirds, with new terms beginning after the Christmas holidays and at the end of March. Students us ually take three courses, occa sionally four, per quarter, and meet each class every day Mon day through Friday. There are no Saturday classes except in special cases. The semester sys tem divides the same period into halves, with the mid-point com ing in late January. Students us ually take five courses, sometimes six, each semester. The classes meet on alternate days, so that an average schedule has three classes on MWF, two on TThS, or vice versa. Saturday classes end at 12 noon. Those are the bare facts. What does it all mean? Well, for one thing, the fever and fret of se mester final exams come only twice a year instead of three times but more courses are cov ered at each exam period. It also means that you turn your new academic leaf about a month after you return from Christmas holi days, instead of at the same time you list your New Year's Reso lutions; and that exams and term papers may hang heavy over your head during Christmas vacation. On the other hand, the pre Christmas period is left compara tively free for holiday celebra tion often hampered by quarter system pre-holiday exams. And how about this new class schedule? In the first place, your attention will be divided into more areas five, usually. You will find that the every-other-day schedule is not so concise and tense as the day-after-day one. mobiles. We asked the member of Leg islature, the Phi Assembly, head of the Rules Committee how he felt his chances were. "Well, I'm in this thing to win if I can," he said seriously. "I think student government busi ness should be conducted on a strictly non-political basis. There's a lot of things that can be done, and I really think an independent can best do them." Matthews reminded us again that he was an independent. THE LAW IS. KJO KQV ucikj RASSLE. Wl r NO GAL, AN' AH ALLUS OBEYS TH' LAWS AH RE.SPECKS THE LAW.V -m LOVtS THE.

' iV, A rife AC Trie - i is- a r l t3 -3j-i Come Monday evening, you can take your choice of studying for -Tuesday's classes or for Wednes day's, or doing a little of both. There's no hard-and-fast rule that , you must study every sub ject every night. (For one thing, with five subjects, it would be practically an impossible task.) You will have Latvian Literature, for example, drummed into your ears less times each week than under the quarter system, though the total number of class meet ings will be approximately the same. This schedule makes for the same difference as does tak ing two teaspoons of Pepto-Bismol diluted to half-strength instead of one teaspoonful of the same stuff full-strength same amount, but less concentration. Another thing you'll probably have more term papers, but you'll also have a longer time scope in which to work on them. And now we come to the Bug aboo of all college students Saturday classes. For centuries, man has idealized the five day week. The University finally ; achieves it and then the Trustees lower the boom, but good, and there you are marching to class on Saturdays as on Tuesdays. Does this spell the end of long week ends away or of Friday night Germans, as a correspondent to The Daily Tar Heel wept a few weeks ago? Well, it's all up to you. A distinguished but unmen tionable university in Durham has for years scheduled Shoe and Slipper weekends each autumn and spring: and these weekends feature a Friday night dance, a Saturday afternoon "concert, and a Saturday night dance, even though the students have classes on Saturday morning. Davidson College does the same thing. Can't the Tar Heels do as well? Unless the cuts system is un usually rigid, the majority of the student body will be able to cut Saturday classes to go home on the weekends quite frequently. And, no matter what they say, in many cases it is quite possible to arrange a semester schedule with no Saturday classes. This is very unlikely in the freshman and sophomore years, but when up perclassmen start specializing, it can be done. Not unfrequently students are able to take every class they want and still miss sixth-day lectures; other students will grab any old course avail able on MWF to keep from taking one that meets on Saturday. This latter course we wouldn't advise for anyone who's really serious about getting an education it's a great deal wiser to depend on cuts. We at Woman's College have no fondness for Saturday classes as such. But we have found one good result from them. Although they seldom keep a student on campus when there's a big week end event elsewhere, they do keep her from running home every weekend. And it's the weekend at mosphere, relaxed and young and leisurely and so different from the rush and rattle of the mid week schedule that builds the campus spirit to a high peak. Once used to the new systew, you Tar Heels may discover something new in Chapel Hill, the Univer sity campus, and your fellow stu dents which has hitherto escaped your notice. (But don't forget us on Saturday nights!) As has been said it's all up to you. It's a change and a chal lenge. We're waiting to see what our brother college will do with it. i u . . r. 111 Ct-V1 WfeKtS, J I I LEGALIWA J I I QAU -AH -SI I I COULD TAKE. 5 P?4 NO eHY,V,,5K?.
