COACH BOB AND TRACK
Coach Bob Fetzer has done a very
fine thing for the University and the
state in making the initial move to
ward staging the first indoor track
meet, said to have ever been held in
the South. The plans for this meet
are rapidly being completed and the
meet will be one of the greatest ath
letic events of the season.

ATHLETIC HONESTY.
In the interests of justice to all
concerned the Tar Heel would like
to set at rights a statement recently
made in the Open Student Forum
column by a gentleman whose ire had
been arouied to the regretable point
of dealing unpleasantly in personal
ities by a review of the Magazine
that appeared recently in these
columns.
There seems to be a misunder
standing as to the writing of these
reviews by certain men who obvious
ly are not acquainted with the meth
ods of editing The Tar Heel. . The
Forum article in question spoke of
the writer of the review as "the self
appointed critic of the Magazine."
To those who have any manner of
understanding as to the editing of
anv sort of naner- thim is an nhv!fu
misstatement. The writer of the re
view was duly assigned to that work
by the editor of The Tar Heel and
the review was written by that man
as the definite and duly appointed
spokesman of The Tar Heel and as
such of the student body. Such an
article is naturally one of opinion
and for that reason the article was
The University has, within the last
generation, stood firmly and always
for the best in athletic standards.
She has ever been the leader among
North Carolina colleges and the col
leges of the South in the achievement
of establishing high and splendid
standards in athletics. The Univer
sity has been among the foremost in
this struggle for the best and she
has been known and acclaimed for the
standards she has set for herself.
This has been the great reputation
of the University of North Carolina.
Yet even whilt Carnlim ha.
carrying on this great work there ' bj ,he writer
have arisen rumors and stray sayings
that questioned, without proving, the
athletic honesty of the University.
Men have spoken more quickly of our
faults because of the high standards
we flaunted. Last fall with the ques
tion of summer baseball ' and the
vacillating stand of the faculty com
mittee on that question, the state
stood ready to question again our
high code of the athletie ethics. The
Virginia game and the controversy
over the eligibility of W. I. Johnson
left ' many with the impression that
perhaps Carolina' might ' not have
everything on its side in that historic
controversy.
These things have been mere
questionings and at worst unproven
Valentines are funny things. , Of
course the reason is that they con
cern funny people, lovers, but never
theless they are funny themselves.
We know one campus Romeo who
wired the drug store in which his
girl lived and had a five pound box
of candy sent around. That night
he hounded his box till the mail was
up and all he received was a very
small envelope. But when he open
ed it he found a little fancy colored
card from his girl. On it was a
naked little boy, supposedly Cupid,
and a silly little verse in which
"thine" rhymed with "your valen
tine." The card cost at the most
ten cents and the' time necessary to
select it, at most ten seconds. Yet
this youth was as happy as a lark
and made a point of telling me how
thoughtful his girl was and how
lucky it was he remembered to re
member her. ' And though he will
have to slight his laundry to pay for
the candy, and though the girl ate
it with the help of one of his rivals,
and though he is no fool and. realizes
all this, he is happy. Yes, valen
tines are funny things.

NEED HUMOROUS PUBLICATION
Dear Mr. Editor:
Why not a humorous publica

the lack of such a publication upon
the Carolina campus acknowledges

Morecroft, J. P. Principles of
Inspiration.
Did you ever try to write some
thing clever when you were out of
sorts? Well it is a hard job. We
are perfectly aware that the above
sketch about valentine is nothing to
brag about and we hope it is below
what we might call our standard.
Once in a while we kid ourself into
thinking that we write some clever
things and then again when the Man
aging Editor is waiting to get the
copy off and pacing the floor like a
convict in his cell and while we are
sweating blood trying to get an in
spiration and writing "Now is the
time, etc." to fool him into thinking
we are at work, we are not so sure
of ourselves. Inspirations are con
spicious by their absence tonight. It
is not hard to be clever at times
but at a special time, a time that i3
now, it's impossible.
the South,, and in fact all over the
entire country, any college of note
has a humorous magazine. Since the
Tar Baby is not controlled , nearly
entirely by students there can be no
doubt but that Carolina can find
enough material for the filling the
napes of such a publication. Un-
M a -
doubtedly Carolina men can find bet
ter material than has appeared in the
latest issue of the Tar Baby, and
why not try? With the denial of the
President of all connection ot the
University to the Tar Baby the time
has come to act. The time has come
for Carolina men to declare them
selves "up to the times" and ready
to place such a magazine as Vir
ginia puts . out before the public,
There seems to be enough students
on the Hill to insure a capable busi
ness manager being obtained, and
there can be no doubt but that the
students would be glad to patronize
their own publication. How about
suggesting such an undertaking to
the student body through your
columns?
Very respectfully,
