Widespread Comments
Boomed For Secretary Of War!
Under President Elect
Franklin Roosevelt
Col. J. Monroe Johnson, an alumnus
of the University, has recently received
wide-spread recommendation for the office
of secretary of war in the cabinet
of President-elect Roosevelt. Recently
he received the formal endorsement of
Senators Smith and Byrnes of South
Carolina and this recommendation was
followed by a formal resolution passed
by the South Carolina General Assembly
requesting Roosevelt to consider his
name.
Smith and Byrnes were joined in their
action by ex-SenatOr Christie Benet of
Columbia and J. Miller Foster, prominent
Spartanburg attorney.
Col. Johnson is a veteran of the World
War and is well known throughout the
S country.
^ Other men prominently mentioned for
"o the position are O. Max Gardner, ex^
governor of North Carolina; Henry L.
. Stevens, past commander of the Ameri^
can Legion; Archibald McNeil, Demote
cratic committeeman from Connecticut;
Senator Barklcy of Kentucky; James
Thomson, New Orleans publisher; Sen^
ator Claude Swanson of Virginia; and
George Dorn, former governor of Utah.
3 Slash Made In
Cigarette Prices
Columbia cigarette smokers profited
this week when the retail and wholesale
price of cigarettes was cut by members
of the so-called "Big Four." Announcement
of the cut was made last week
but it was not until Monday that the
price of cigarettes in Columbia was effected.
Wholesale prices were reduced from
$6 a 1000 to $5.50, the lowest point since
the World War. Early in January the
price had been cut from $6.80 per 1000
to $6.
Cuts haye been passed on to the consumers
and popular brands that formerly
sold at 18 cents are now commonly selling
at 15 cents though some cut-rate
stores have gone as low as 12 cents a
pack.
Members of the so-called "Big Four"
are the American Tobacco Company,
R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, P.
Lorillard Company, and Liggett and Myers.
The manufacturers' move was viewed
as a further effort to recover business lost
not only to the ten-cents-a-package
brands, which the depression has made
popular, but also to entice back the
smoker who has been rolling his own
for reasons of economy. It is estimated
that the latter practice has cost the package
makers a volume of 40,000,000,000
cigarettes.

Salaries Paid
State Employees
Unpaid appropriations for salaries of
state employes who have not been given
vouchers and teachers, amounting to
$760,300, would be paid as soon as the
state finance committee deems the money
is available under terms of an amendment
to a Senate Bill recommended by
the Finance committee.
The proposal was made in an amendment
to a bill sponsored by Senator
Hamer, of Dillon.
Provision had already been made by
the General Assembly to pay all employes
having State vouchers at once, but only
State employes who work in governmental
departments have been given
vouchers.
Appropriations to the colleges and
other institutions were made in a lump
sum, and consequently vouchers have not
been given such State employes.
The amount of unpaid salaries and
maintenance bills of State institutions |
was arrived at by the committee after
a lengthy hearing. Officers of some institutions
said their debts represented unpaid
salaries while others explained the
unpaid funds were due for maintenance.
The following payments are provided
in the amendments: State aid owed
teachers $498,871; State hospital, $73,356;
Winthrop college, $43,800; Clemson college
and extension, $55,149; University
of South Carolina, $44,867; The Citadel,
$23,400; State Negro college, $11,969;
John De La Howe school, $1,951; food

Defends Fads ;
"Fads" are very valuable according :
to Dr. W. H. Kilpatrick, well known t
educator and professor at New York j
University. Dr. Kilpatrick's ideas appeared
in a recent article in the New i
York Titties and in the School of Edu- 1
cation Gazette, publication of the School t
of Education at the University. In his c
opinion some of the newest ideas arc i
worth saving. t
When school budgets are cut, in line 1
with retrenchment programs necessitated *
by the depression, the first tendency is
to declare "Fads and frills must go first." (
But the question then arises, which are 1
the "fads" and which are the "frills" ? 1
"Are we to decide without thinking?" (
asks Dr. Kilpatrick. "Is the rule to be '
'Cut first and think afterward'? Where 1
children and their welfare are involved 1
we cannot agree to cut first; we must 1
think first." (
So-called fads, innovations in the realm 1
of education, that are proving of immense (
value in schools are health instruction,
physical education, after-school athletic
centers, recreational programs, and the
teaching of manners and morals in the
school.

Phosphate Beds
The phosphate beds in the region between
the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, a
famed field for geologists because of its
land and marine fossils, is now being
studied by I. E. Martin and Dr. W. F.
Prouty of the University of North Caro- j
lina in preparation for Mr. Martin's doctor's
dissertation.
I These phosphate beds lie from five
to fifteen feet underground and full
of fossils. They became famous years
ago when Bishop John Christain Keener,
prominent in Southern Methodism, wrote
a book called "The Garden of Eden and
the Flood."
In his book Bishop Keener attributed
the large number of fossil remains to the
Noachian deluge, and said that the Garden
of Eden was in the region between
the Ashley and Cooper Rivers.

Survey Made
College Press
Only Dailies Listed
Grading Made By Daily TarHeel
For College Newspapers
Throughout Country
In surveying the work of the college
press during the last year, it is apparent
:hat the current depression has exercised
ittle effect on the tone and quality of
:ollegiate journalism. To balance budjets
several of the larger dailies have
>een forced to print their papers in
abloid style, with a concurrent saving
11 newsprint and mechanical expenses.
Several have reduced their publication
o five days a week; others have recently
tcquired the daily status and still others
lave been relegated to the weekly or
icmi-weekly field.
An exhaustive survey conducted since
;arly December of 1932 of the best
lailies indicates that the college press
las weathered the storm in an admirable
nanner. Many are supported almost
iolely by student subscription, but those
,vho must realize financial support from
idvertising alone have managed to main;ain
a standard far above that of the
irofessional daily.
In selecting those dailies to be ranked
is the nation's best for 1933, seven points
lave been considered, and the papers
hemselves graded accordingly. Those
ichieving a grade above eighty arc placed
n the "A" class. The "B" papers arc
hose whose scores range from seventy
o eighty, while the "C" papers rank
:rom fifty to seventy.
The maximum point total is one hunIred,
with the seven qualities determinng
the excellency of the papers surveyed
classed as follows: Make-up
(headlines and general arrangement), 5
x>ints; Style (general literary and jourlalistic
composition), 25 points; Feature
naterial, 10 points; Editorial quality
(composition and thought as well as
:ffectiveness and general interest), 20
x>ints; News, 20 points; Sports (sport
iage make-up, headlines, and excellency
>f reporting), 15 points; and columns
(book reviews, sport columns, news
:olumns, and paragraphic comment), 5
points.
Under this method of grading, the
lailies ranked:
Class A (10)
Columbia Spectator (95), Wisconsin
Daily Cardinal (92), Cornell Daily Sun
(90), Stanford Daily (84), Syracuse
Daily Orange (81), Daily Northwestern
(82), Daily Iowan (81), California Daily

Only six papers achieved the highest
possible score in editorial content. They

Give No Reduction For
Fritz Kreisler Concert
There will be no reduction in prices
for students at the Fritz Kreisler
concert at the Township auditorium
on February 24, it was announced
yesterday.
Kreisler, the most famous violinist
in the world today, is noted for being
one child prddigy who later fulfilled
the promise of his childhood. He appeared
in a concert in Vienna at the
age of seven, and entered the Vienna
conservatory at the same age, although
the regular entrance age was
14 years.
Three years later, after having won
the gold medal for violin playing there,
he went to Paris, where, after two
years, he won the. JPremier Grand
Prix de Rome against 40 competitors,

Young Deplores
Education Cuts
In commenting on the proposed cut in
appropriations for all schools in general
and the North Carolina colleges in particular
Owen D. Young, leading American
industrialist and financier, recently
said that he believed that education appropriations
should be the last to be cut.
"The proposal of the Legislature of
North Carolina," wrote Young, "to cut
the appropriation of the state to the
University of North Carolina from its
high point of $894,000 in 1929 to
$390,000 in the present year excites mixed
feelings of regret and admiration; deep
regret that the work of a great educational
institution will be impaired, and
in some measure, its position destroyed;
admiration that a state has the courage
to deal with a difficult fiscal situation by
drastic reduction of its expenditures."
Young stated that lie felt very deeply
that educational appropriations should be
the last to be cut, and that then the reductions
should be made only to the extent
of readjusting salaries to the new
price level and discontinuing activities
justifiable in prosperous times but which
can be disposed of without impairing the
basic usefulness of the educational program.
Young declared that in times like these
when it is almost impossible for young
people to get employment, it is of vital
importance that they be kept in school.
He would like to sec the activities of the
great state universities enlarged to employ
usefully the enforced leisure of the
young people. It is the duty of the older
generation to train and discipline their
children so that they may not only be of
service to their generation but may also
obtain the maximum happiness for themselves.
lie stated that {lie present economic
plight is not the young peoples'
fault nor should they be made its victims
to any extent which can be helped.

Serve Md,ny Functions
Examinations~Oh^~Students To
Determine Fitness In Continuing
Work
Bucknell University has made a fundamental
reorganization of its educational
program, designed to meet the needs of
students and current trends in higher
education, says an article in the School
if Education Gazette, official organ of
ihe education school.
Colleges have suffered from confusion
if objectives, Dr. Homer Price Rainey,
president of the University, said, "Colleges
of liberal arts", he declared, "have
lost their sense of direction. They have
iried to become 'all things to all people'
?nd thus, have lost their distinctiveness."
"Their programs are designed not to
neet a purpose, but to serve as many
[unctions as possible. Bucknell, which
is typical of many others, is at present
serving at least four distinct functions:
is trying to complete the work of
secondary education which is so inadeluately
done in the secondary schools; it
s trying to provide a liberal or general
education for a considerable portion of
ts student body; it is providing preJrofessional
curricula for all the major
ntellectual professions such as medicine
aw, theology, etc., and finally it is actually
offering professional training in
.everal fields, such as engineering, business
administration and the training of
eachers."
Bucknell's new program, therefore, is
Resigned first of all to correct this difficulty
in so far as possible. The first
principle is the recognition of the upper
ind lower divisions, in which the effort
is made to allocate all professional and
^refProfessional training to the upper
iivision. The first two years, then, may
ie devoted to general culture and the
-ompletion of secondary education.
In addition to the general requirements
m the first two years, time is left for
students to begin their mastery of tool
>ubjects, such as foreign languages, mathematics
and laboratory sciences. Each
student will be required to possess a reading
knowledge of a foreign language
before he will be given a degree. Also,
each student will be required to pass
comprehensive examinations at the end
3 5 his first two years 011 the work covered
in those years. These examinations will
determine a student's fitness to continue
his work in the upper division.
Bucknell has abolished the departmental
organization and has substituted a
group organization. The curricula are
now organized into five groups with a
chairman for each group. The groups
are social sciences, natural sciences,
language and literature, philosophy, religion
and the arts and engineering.
Another feature of the new program
i"' an effort to place less emphasis upon
teaching and more emphasis upon learning.
This means the transferring of the
responsibility of one's education from
the teacher, where it seems to rest at
present, to the student, where it properly
belongs. Students are now held responsible
for the mastery of their courses, and
the matter of their attendance upon classes
is their own responsibility.
Beginning with the class entering in
1933, a new set of entrance requirements
will be put into effect. The capacity of
students to do college work will be measured
by the use of various types of tests.
Each applicant must be a high school
graduate, and beyond that other significant
factors to be considered include
high school marks, rank in graduating
class, intelligence as measured by a good
intelligence test, character, maturity and
other permanent data. A personal interview
will be used in all doubtful
cases, and in all other cases wherever
possible.
-tr. . o.
:
is that Alabama Legislature has a greater
problem in that that State has a 20
million dollar debt and is accomplishing
less than our legislature.
