Let, as Mr. Pickens suggests in a letter to the Tar Heel in last Issue, the students think about this matter and letters to the Legislators from their home counties showing appropriation possibilities here will not be amiss. Here we feel the tangible good that money can do and has done, and we feeL that if the state is able, no money could be better spent than in enabling us to continue the great work started six years ago.

Feb. 6, 1923 No. 31 IF THE STATE IS ABLE, NOBODY NEEDS THE MONEY MORE THAN US At this critical time, with the finan cial affairs of the state in a decided muddle and the subject of a tremen dous controversy with one side main taining that there is a five million dol lar deficit in the State Treasury and the other side declaring that, on the controversy, there is a two and a half million dollar surplus, the Tar Heel hes itates to start any propaganda advo cating greater appropriations for the University than the Budget Commis sion has recommended. There is no doubt but what the Uni versity needs the money very badly, and if we do not get somewhat nearer the amount we originally requested, it will prove a serious handicap in the building program and phenomenal growth that the University is now go ing through. Every dollar of the appro priaUon requested by President Chase, as laid down before the Budget Com mission, would be spent wisely and judi ciously, and every item that was listed on the report is sorely needed here and must be had, sooner or later, to fit in the scheme of the Greater University. Yet if Mr. Marwell is right and Gov ernor Morrison and the Budget Commis sion have erred in their calculations, the Tar Heel realizes that our original request is hopeless, and even the rec ommendation of the Budget Commission now may be subject to a considerable slicing at the hanis of the Legislature. The Tar Heel, indeed, even in its great passion for the University, under such circumstances, would not advocate such an appropriation as a wise step, for it must be remembered that the students here will be the tax payers some day, and also it touches every man here, if the credit of the state should be, as Mr. Marwell claims, completely wreck ed r.nd "on the rocks within two years." The investigation now under way should clear up this matter and the people of the. state will know just liow the finances of the state stand at the present time. Should Governor Morrison be correct and we trust by the help of the heav ens that he is then the Tar Heel makes haste to inform the Budget Commission that it has made a grievous mistake in slicing the University's requests so un mercifully, and we believe that we Should have every dollar that President Chase's report called for. Certainly, as an editorial in this paper some time ago pointed out, if we cannot get that orig inal demand, the Legislature will not cut down still further this report of the Budget Commission,' and we will at least get all that it recommends. The money that Governor Morrison would put in this Shipping Bill, which from every indication looks to be just about the most insane and foolish pro ject imaginable at the present time in face of our country's failure with the Merchant Marine, would surely go mighty well in Chapel Hill. The Uni- "TOOTING" IS GOOD BUSINESS! The current issue of "Intercollegiate Athletics" carries an article on the Fetzers at Carolina, written by Buxton Midyette, formerly a member of the Tar Heel staff, and who will again be conected with this paper when the track meets are held this spring. The Tar Heel congratulates the writer on his contribution, and believes that he has rendered Carolina a real public ity service. If more of this kind of thing could be done, Carolina's athletic reputation would spread abroad, and this University would get proper credit for the successful teams it is producing. There is no better means of attract ing able men here to go out for the teams than by shooting the publicity out over the country, when the institu tion really accomplishes something worth while in the way of athletics. Other institutions "spread it on thick" and work up good reputations by this publicity method, and since it is a per fectiy legitimate thing, and Carolina is experiencing successes worthy of such, why should we not do the same and get our share of the country's praise? We hope to see in the papers and magazines some more articles relative to Carolina athletics similar to this one that features the current issue of ' 'In tercollegiate Athletics." PLEASE GET BUSY . We dislike to continue harping on this German Club and dance orchestra business, since the great majority of our readers are probably more or less disinterested, and also since to' some it may appear that we are talking through our hat and trying to. run some body's business that is not our own. But it is our understanding that still no orchestra is engaged for the Easter dances, although negotiations have-been under way for some time. Rumor hath it, leaders of the dances, that you are working entirely too slow and before you know it the dances will end up as those this fall, a rather feeble social demonstration for a grown up college. We say it again that the German Club is counting on you giving us some real dances here Easter, worthy of Caro lina, and be it remembered that one of the prerequisites is good music. Good music cannot be had at the last min ute, and it is now high time that these preparations were completed. By the way, now that the Commence ment leaders have been elected, why not begin planning the final dances right away? It is not too early now to get an orchestra engaged, and the beau ty of it is that right now we can get the very music we want, whereas if this matter is put off until tho last minute, as it has been done heretofore, we are Up tie to find ourselves again without proper music. a lady's pocket knife to a meat axe and his neat finis as a Tarheel yells "gouge him," can never be forgotten. The ter rible lion Bcene in which some peaceful, sleepy, and probably sick lions were brutally driven from their berths by the porter and forced to fondle and caress some denizens of the East Side of New York who rushed up to the lions with pileous and imploring yells of "please bite me" haunts us in the wee, small hours of the morning. The spectacle of an eniperor inviting the entire eninire of Home to witness his domestic squab bles has the touch of the miraculous. How a Nero who showed all his cards could have stayed in the game for ten minutes is not easy to understand, but then things that are easy to understand are not the subject of movie dramas. The burning of a paper mache Home, however, furnished fire and animation for the play as the galloping of horses and the waving of arms and wiggling of thumbs furnished action and the lan guishing eyes of a "barbarian" ninideu who, although from the wilds of Vniinia or some other suburb of New York, seemed not to lack the care and attention of Broadway hairdressers and modistes furnished the motive power for the con quest of Spain and the conversion of the conqueror of Spain. As a spectacle it was worth the 40 cents to an American audience although a Jap who had never seen the inside of the Uomau coliseum and whose intellectual curiosity gnawed him constantly for a sight of that para gon of vice and that exemplar of the worst of human nature whose ridiculous fat form strutted through a Fox movie could hardly afford to pay four days wages to satisfy his longing. Before n discriminating Chapel Hill audience Xero entertains and amuses, but lest some in other parts of this, or other states should take him seriously, a law should be passed prohibiting his further ap pearance or else commanding his hari kari in the first reel unless he reforms and learns how to behave and act like a human being of the time of Rome or any other time. For what purpose is Mr. Stroud's former boss hired to sup erintend the Los Angeles fairyland ex cept to elevate the standards of the movies? He is evidently raising the bar for our imaginative high jumpers, until even me most gullible and the most credulous will have difficulty in clearing it. There is no objection to fantastic monstrosities, provided that they are so labelled, but for the sake of our freshmen who until they come to the age of dis cretion are entitled to protection against falsehood masking under the guise of history, the Board of Censors "of the American people should refuse to give further financial stimulus to such wicked extravaganzas.

Although no college credit is given for the work, its reels nevertheless , leave their indelible im pression. History is taught there as well as at Saunders Hall. Among other por trayals of the life of the ancients that have instructed us in the mental make up of the Fox producers, none pleased quite as much as "Xero." Uf course it is impossible to reproduce the life of Imperial Rome. Even Shakespeare fail ed to do that. His Romans were English men. Hut they were at least human beings. Fox's Romans are caricatures of human beings or rather feminized, Puritanized moralities walking around like figures in a Punch and Judy show. That gives "Nero" its incomparable charm.
