It takes a popular fresh man of what is called "the fraternity type" the whole of his sophomore year to get over the conceit he ac cumulates during his freshman year. Particularly is this so with the freshman class of this year. The big men in the class have been rush ed by the fraternities until they are beginning to believe themselves "the trepid stuff." This is a fraternity problem that the fraternities themselves should deal with carefully. " Thev are cheao ening themselves and systematically ruining the best men of the freshman class Some people have suareested that the freshmen be required to live in a dormitory by themselves. Anything would be better than the present sys tern. The fraternities should get wise to themselves and stoo cheaDeninor themselves and making arrant vounar asses of the freshmen.

STUDENT FORUM Interclass feeling may he ter rible and unjustifiable thing, such as it had become several years ago when the death of a man brought the whole clas ssystem into an unholy disrepute. The lack of any interclass spirit may be nearly as undesirable a thing. At that time of tragedy the whole root and branch of interclass spirit was torn up by the very roots and thrown aside. Carolina instituted for herself a new system, a plan of college life where all men are equal, even from the most lowly freshman to the most dignified senior. In our days our college orators have identi fied it with other splendid things of the University; we have prided our selves on the great democratic cam pus that made every man, no matter what his academic status, a Carolina BOOK EXCHANGE AGAIN March 15. 1922 Editor. The Tar Heel: Inasmuch as I am lareelv re sponsible for the adoption of Clark's Cases as a text in the Law School classes in Equity, this year. I feel that I ought to reply to Mr. Trot ter's letter in your issue of Tues day, relative to the cost of these books. The facts alleeed in that letter are erroneous. The true facts follow: Fifty copies of Part 1 of Clark's cases, for use in the first year class during the second semester, were ordered in December, 1921. The net cost to the Book Exchange was $3.60 a volume. Thev were snld tn students at $4.25 each, with a re fund ticket, which, when cashed, brought the net cost to the strident down to $3.83 per volume. The gross profit to the Book Exchanse was $.ij on each volume. The overhead expense of the Exchange, I am in formed, amounts to ten ver cent on the original cost price. The overhead on each book was thus $.36. The net loss to the Book Exchange, there lore was $.13 per volume. We" all felt that the publisher's price was too high. The publishers wrote that they had no authority t n i n . i . , x, , anu o, in a single comoinea volume, were ordered at $6.75 each. They were sold at $8.00 each, with a refund ticket, which, when cashed, brought the net cost to the student to $7.20 a volume. This gave a gross profit of $.45 on each book. The overhead item in this instance was $.67. The net los to the Book Exchange was $.22 per volume. It has been impossible to get a re duction in the price of this volume from the publishers. It therefore appears that the whole transaction shows a net profit on one book of two cents, on another, of three cents, -with a net loss on a third of thirteen cents, and a net loss on a fourth, of twenty-two cents, per volume. Add to this the fact that a portion of each order is left on the shelves, due to the failure of each man in the " class to purchase a book, and the transaction shows a e l 1 , - . i . e f . i m iner loss, uui ox nny copies OI Part 1 ordered, three are left; out of twenty-five copies of Part 2 or dered, thirteen are left; out of twen ty copies of Part 3 ordered, seven are left; and out of ten copies of the combined volume, seven are left.

That is all as it should be, but it is not fair to the freshman class to allow them to grow haphaz ardly as Carolina men. This year we saw a freshman class come to us that was in all things splendid. We welcomed them right gladly and we looked to the day when that class should be marked as one of the University's great classes that come, perhaps once in a college gen eration, to be remembered and re vered by the classes that follow it. We have seen that class degenerate as rapidly as any' in the history of the University until today men only shake their heads and wonder at the sudden sadness of it. The class has got a severe case of swell head and the chances are against its recovery. Only upper classmen on their way home wear hats nowadays. No freshman would be causrht with one. Freshmen onlv speak to the upperclassmen that Wltn the shipment and the tempor have met them.

It has provpi of adjustment. The $.40 rebate on each volume is therefore invar & trail- able to the students. The above figures as to net loss to tho Exchange, are not, of course, al tered by rebate of $.40 as Exchange is turning over to the students the full rebate authorized. This adjust ment was no V arrived at unti: fev. era! weeks after the new scmter opened. Seventy-five copies of Part 2 of i Clark's cases, for use in the course in Trusts, in the second semester of this year, were ordered in August, last summer. The net cost of ea.h volume to the Book Exchange was' $2.70. Due to the failure of the punjishers to send a duprnte invoice March 15. 1922. To The Editor of The Tar Heel: In order to correct an error of Mr. John Paul Trotter's letter in your issue of Tuesday in regard to cost of Clark's Equity (Part I) to the Book Exchange, I am enclosing dup licate invoice for these books which shows a net cost of $3.60 each. I am also enclosing copy of our letter addressed to E. W. Stevens Publish ing Company, on January 21, 1922, regarding the high price of the book. and their reply which is self-exulan atory. With each book sold for $4.25 a coupon worth 42 cents was eriven. making the net cost to the consumer $d.8d, leaving total profit .23 cents. Prof. M. T. Van Hecke, of the Law School, wrote Mr. Clark, author of the book above mentioned, and through their combined efforts, we have recently succeeded in getting a rebate of 40 cents from the publish ers. This rebate is now available to all purchasers who paid $4.25 for Clark's Equity Part I, and a number have already received it. This is not a refund of an overcharge, but is ex actly the rebate giver, va by the b- lishers through the authorization of Mr. Clark. We believe any purchaser who has any complaint to make will receive satisfactory adjustment of same at tne ifook Exchange if he will only bring it to our attention. J. W .Foster.

There are at' least two causes for this unhappy disease that has infected the whole freshman class. First, the average man is exultant when he buys a bright brass belt with the letters, "U. N. C." stamped thereon and knows himself for a college man. Upperclassmen treat him with kind ness and he mistakes it for venera tion. There is no hand, hard or soft, to guide him, so he runs his unre stricted rah rah way until he sinks at the end of a year to the level of the sophomore. ; This is the first cause, but by no means the most important. The second is the real fraternity prob lem of the University. With the coming of each new freshman class the fraternities begin looking for the best men. When they find what they consider the best men, and as a mat ter of fact they usually are just that, even if the fraternities do pad their membership with well born nincom- actual cost was not known when the '.ookswere sold ii, Februa v. and tho r;te was fixed at $3.50, vrltn a re fund ticket, which." when cashed, brought the net cost to the student clown to $3.15 per volume. As it de v loped, this was $.15 too high, and a further refund has been made available, and several in the class have taken advantage of it. This brought the net retail price to S.rnn the gross profit to the Book Exchange to $.,J0 which, less the 10 per cenf overhead of $.27, gave a net profit of $.03. As stated above a reduc tion in the price from the publishers of this volume seems very unlikely. Twenty copies of Part 3 of Clark's cases, for use in the second year class in Equity were ordered in Feb ruary of this year, at a net cost of ?i.8 per volume. They were sold at $2.40, with a refund ticket, which, when cashed, brought the net cost to the student to $2.16. This was too high; The net cost should have been $2.00 to the student. I had fixed this price of $2.16. Mr. Foster now offers the students a rebate of $.16 each on these books. At that figure of $2.00 each, the gross prof- January 21. 1922. E. W. Stephens Publishing Co. Columbia, Mo. Gentlemen: Please send us duplicate invoices and correct prices on Clark's Seleced Cases on Equity bound in separate parts. The prices for the separate parts seem rather hight, and we thought possibly there had been some mistake in billing. Very truly yours, THE BOOK EXCHANGE, J. W. Foster, Manager. Columbia, Missouri. January 28. 1922. The Book Exchange, Chapel Hill, N. C. Gentlemen ; We are enclosing herewith dupli cate of your invoice of December 3rd, covering your recert order for Clark's Cases on Equity. We wish to advise that the prices thereon tire correct. It might be well to say that on January 1st, Professor Clark instruet- preciate merit in a musical score will quickly realize why Le Comte and Fleshe's new extravaganza, "Listen To Me," coming to the Academy of Music next Thursday night, was suc cessful from the opening perfor mance. Independent to the fact that "Lis ten to Me" carries an excellent com pany of artistic cast supported by a youthful chorus that can dance and sing, an exquisite display of scenic splendor, marvelous novelties, eoree- ous. costumes, and an absorbing fan tastic story beautifully unfurled, is the reality that its score of musi cal gems is a theme of critical admi ration. "Listen to Me" has been lauded broadcast by all. Some have adored its spectacular wonders, oth ers have admired the lavish arrav of scenery and costumes, others highly praising the cast and chorus, while many have been thrown into the score of etherial musical eema. Those who enjoy artistic grandeur in all its rapture can drink to their fill when "Listen to Me" with all its gorgeousness is presented in Dur ham. THE JOHN C.

ACADEMY of MUSIC 30 "Hail The Woman " At Paris Oliver Beresford, a grim and bi goted prosperous New Enarland far. mer, is an advocate of that creed of another day which ordains "Men and their sons first." Beresford's son, David, is studv ing for the ministry because his fath er desires a man of God in the fami ly. Secretly David has married Nan, the step-daughter of the "odd-jobs man," but when the elder Beresford learns of his son's implicaton, David keeps silent about his marriage and allows Nan to be driven away in dis grace. "Men and their sons first Judith, Beresford's daughter, re bels at the injustice done Nan, and, following the misinterpretation by her father and brother of her inno cent friendship with a srreat play wright, she goes to New York. Des tiny guides her to poor Nan, dying, and Judith promises her to care for "little David." Judith takes her brother's child. resolving to battle for his recognition which comes finally in the big cli max of this great American drama when, before the entire congregation in his home town, David Beresford acknowledges Nan's son as his own, and Nan's earthbound spirit finds its sanctuary.
