Mrs. Morgani ToAks
On 'Men -Women
Securing Mrs. Mildred I. Morgan to give a series of
addresses on Men-Women relations on the campus is a
significant action by the Y. W. C. A. because it reveals
A definite need for something of this kind and because
the idea grew out of the students themselves.
This is the first time that an outside lecturer has been
brought to the University, and it is evidence that Univer
sity students are taking the lead in solving their own
troubles instead of J,aiting for someone to bring the so
lution to them.
In papers all over the United States there is evidence
that college students today as never before are realizing
the difficulties presented to then in seeking compatibility
and happiness with the opposite sex, and are seeking
some practical solution to their problems.
Dr. Ernest Groves, well known writer and teacher of
marriage course at the University of North Carolin ,
says that "young people today eare having a harder time
choosing a dife or husband than young people of any
day have ever had. This is not because they iave
changed individually, but because economic and social
changes have brought complications in making success
f ul marriages. "
However, lie adds that "this is offset by the fact that
never before have young people been so constantly seek
ing information about marriage from reliable sources."
To aid Carolina students in these problems, the
Y. W. C. A. could not have chosen a more capable person
than Mrs. Morgan, who is known in this country and
others for her intimate knowledge and insight into prob
Jems of adjustment..14
Her visit of two days will also pae the way for more
definite action by those who see the need for more in
struction in mbtters of this kind.
Progress Made
By Societies
From the renewed interest among uppercassnen and
the large number of initiates among the freshman class,
it is plain that literary societies are again assuming their
rightful place among the most important organizations

A Step
Forward
Action of the English department in allowing f:
man students of unusual proficiency to advance to a
omore courses with credit on freshman work is distib
a step forward in liberalizing education at the
versity.
Too long has the progress'of Carolina been reta
by strict adhesion to rules which kept the Unive
from advancing as a state university ought.
Throwing over this idea that a Carolina graduate i
go out endorsed by so many professors and rul
stamped with so many course numbers, and substiti
instead a general proficiency level to be attained s1
that those who have the power to determine the pol
of the University are keeping their eye on modern
cational trends and endeavoring to see that Car
is not left oUt of all of them.
Briefly explained, the new rule is this freshmen
show by their entrance test results that they do not
further drill in grammar and rhetoric, which mak
most of the first year of English, are allowed to
these courses and are given credit for them. At
same time, sophomores who are deficient in Englis1
given special instructors to seek out their weak p
and try to correct them.
Thus instead of requiring a student to take a ce
number of courses and pass them, the University is
ing to aid the student in assimilating a certain n
sary amount of the subject.
To avoid exempting too many students, the stan
to be attained is raised to include ,only a small po
of those who take the tests. High school recordi
investigated thoroughly, and test results are care
checked.
Establishing this innovation permanently in the
glish department will undoubtedly lead to similai
tion in other departments where it can be applied
cessfully.
This is a step in the right direction in making
University program keep up with larger institu
where this system and others like it have been exi.
for some time.

Those who imake the trip will find a program aIr

at the dance and will be presented to all those att

Particular attention is being paid by the Young]

Students can do just as much as the athletic de
ment in seeing that the train fare is reduced arid the
made possible, and whether or not it will be de~
entirely on their attitude and interest.
