Vol. XXXIII Oct. 10, 1923 No. 6 Northern and Southern traditions clashed Saturday when Washington and Leo drew the color line and Wash ington and Jefferson clung just as tenaciously to their "A man's a man for 'a that'" ideal. There was no pos sible chance for arbitration and the game remained unpTaytd. Here is an interesting speculation if the Southerners had agreed to the p'ay ing of the dark complexioned Mr. West, would he have been able or willing to continue after the first play? For over a century Carolina strug lied along slowly with little desire 'o enlarge itself ar extend its influ ence. It was a provincial institution in a provincial state holding to con ;ervatism and checking any symp toms of educational vigor. Then a wave of restless energy urged it to eap forward and keep apace with he state's industrial and education:!' Awakening. It developed new idea':' called for more funds and equipment, ind issued the challenge for higher .duration in North Carolina. If the life of the University were pictured on a chart, it would show i slowly ascending line with a sharp upward slant at the extremity. Ten vrars ago there were approximately jne thousand students here and a few buildings clustered about the old well. Compare this with the nres- nt enrollment of 2125 and a maize of buildings reaching far back into Bat tle Park. At this rate of increase. n 1923 the University will have 4500 students, and there are no indica tions that it will have reached its aeak at that time. Future citizens may find this nourishing food for thought. While alumni organizations throughout the state and nation are paying homage to their venerable old mother, Chapel Hill will celebrate the memorial occasion in fitting style. with a parade of classes, faculty, and trustees, and anniversary exercises in Memorial hall. W. N. Everett. '86. Secretary of State, a man who has never outgrown his love for the Uni versity, will deliver the principal ad dress. In the afternoon, the scene will be transferred to Durham where the Tar Heels and Trinity will clash on a noisy field. It will be the red letter day of the year, and all interested in the University should pay observance to its glorious past and future greatness with frank enthusiasm. credit on the University in the eyes jf hundreds of people . who . come liere by automobiles for games? I refer to the practice into which t group of student has thoughtlessly fallen of lining up on both sides of the street by the Post Office after a 'a me and shouting at passing cars. Thoughtless though I assume it has ')?en, this practice is in effect the height of bad manners and discour tesy. It is altogether out of line with the University's general reputa tion for good sportsmanship and ourtcsy, and sends scores of visit ors away from Chapel Hill with the impression that rowdyism is a part of the University's accepted coda of ;amrus manners. Furthermore, it is an unbelievab'y immature performance on the part of University men. It belongs to the stage of development of the small b;iy who jeers after passers-by at the street comer an attitude that would be out of place in a high school, to say nothing of our own campus. I ask every man who has ben in dulging in this practice to stop and think of the fact that he is helping to nit the University in the worst possible light before its visitors. I suggest that the pza and enersrv which are expended in doing this might far better ba utilized where they will count on the field in back ing the team. Very truly yours, II. W. CHASE, President. So draw, unless each of us does his ,;art, something serious is likely to happen. Those of you who have been game know how things are; the jthcrs will find out. Chapel Hill is no place for hundreds of automobiles to be running around in if the streets are to be lined with students. Surely we can find something better to do after the game than line up on the streets, and not only expose our selves to danger but also make still worse what is bound to ba congested trsflic. It is up to the individual. Will you do your part, if not for the sake of Carolina and Carolina's friends, for your own sake? W. H.

The idea seemed to ba that Carolina should strive to rise to the standard of State College. ATHLETICS FOR THE MASSES Th Yackety Yack announces a beauty contest. Each student will be allowed to submit a picture of his own fair one (she most be a North Carolina girl) and the pictures will be sent North for some connoisseur of feminine charms to select the twelve best. The Annual will print the pictures of the twelve winners to enliven its pages. .We hasten to add that co-eds are eligible. the Carolina Magazine and the Boll Weevil are due to make their appearance this week. If only the best writers in college wou'd take active interest in the Magazine, we would have something of real litpr. ary value, but they have the pervert ed notion that college publications are beneath their intellectual plane. Messrs. Weaver. Fitch, and SiHos furnished an enjoyable Sunday aft ernoon for music lovers. The large attendance showed that manv stn dents are just about surfeited with the b atant offerings of King Jazz. Facing the Presbyterian church is a bronze tablet of Daniel Boone, who watches the gasoline-soaked Durham road with alert calmness. When Dan blazed the trail to Kentucky years ago, it presented dangers on all sides even as it does today. The honk of a speeding car is fully as ominous as an Indian war cry. It do?sn"t seem right that the Uni versity should clebrate an important part of its birthday ceremony on a hasti'e g;idiron. THE UNIVERSITY'S BIRTHDAY The oldest state university in the country will celebrate its 130th. birth day Friday afternoon, the same day that marks the coming of white men to American shores. Each year Uni versity Day assumes a deeper mean ing to faculty, students, alumni, and all connected with the University. It is a day when all should look back on the University's best with reverence and look forward to its future with pride and enthusiasm. Carolina has done well for her ath letic teams in recent years, niacin? them on a respected pedestal in the scuth. A good coaching system, ade quate equipment, and active interest has made it possible for rugged, well conditioned athletes to represent th University. Now, in keeping with a country wide movement, attention is being paid to the big majority of flabby muscled, flat chested students who have not the physical stamina to take part in varsity athletics. Here tofore all of the students n sound physique have been given the opportunity to develop their bodies ana the weaker brethren have been neglected. The latter looked on and cheered, hut did not take part This system gives way to the new era of mass athletics some form of physical recreation for every student. Pushball contests, class athletics. cross country runs, tug of war, and other forms of exercise have been arranged for. Plenty of equipment is available, dormitory and frater nity teams have bees e.-cr.:;cd .-. field for mass athletics is nnrfpr J.

English Uni versities do not produce athletic teams of our calibre, but th 9r. age English student is the physical superior of the average American student, because some form of out door exercise is a part of his daily program. Student's Column To the Student Body: When a Carolina team trots off the Sold whether in victory or defeat, here is one thing that every man in his student body knows, and that is hat each meir.ber of that team has liven his best, trying at all times o represent his Alma Mater as an nstitution of good sparts. The stu- ent body expects this from the -earn. Has not the team, then the ight to expect the students to re gain from acts as may in any way mbtract from the glory which they seek to, and usuaLy do, win? While I believe that there is not a student lere who would thoughtfully do a hing of this kind, yet there are nany who have made a practice of omething which, if they will care 'ully consider the matter they will ry to eliminate. I have reference o what takes place after almost all f the important games that .)layed here on the Hill, namely tht ormation of long lines of students n both sides of the streets, that ell and shout at the cars as they .o out of Chapel Hill. Yelli TIP nni .houting is all right, in fact it is i-very fine thing when it is done it the right time and in the right -lace, such as rooting for the team -t games, but surely yelling and houting at people who have come :ere from all over the state is noth ing to ba proud of. While it is done houghtlessly, do you think that th0 memory of this as the last thing -hey see when leaving here will mak-P a very good impression -on theso - - w U I pie, our parents, friends, etc.? It is easily possible that from this prac tice some embarrassing situations could arise. Do you not think that aach of us owes it to these people to ry to bring about the downfall of ihis growing evil? Aside from the phase of the prin ciple of the thing, there is another phase to this practice that was brought to my attention by an in cident, or I might better say, ac cident, which occurred after thp Carolina-Wake Forest game on Sep tember 29, when a car hit one of the students standing on the street Luckily it did not prove to ba serious. but with growth in popularity of football, and the consequent increasa m the number of people attending- the games, there is an equal growth in the number of accidents occurring on the streets and highways, since most of the people come here in auto- noones. to tar we have had no eii-jus accidents, but with surh rowds as the Virginia game, and This column wiU ba open to all stu dents for expression on any subject f timely interest. The editors re serve the right of rejecting unsigned .i tides. Editor. To the Editor of The Tar Heel; May I ask the use of your columns to call the attention of the University to a practice on the part of same men here which tends to reflect d!s- lhe only disturbance that we scouted at the urail dance was an outburst by our friend Peck Duls during the .intermission. He was brazenly smoking a cigarette. Three of us were talking, and the conversation switched around to our Colyum. "Tell me," said one. " do you compose these verses yourself?" 'What I want to know," interrupt ed the other, "is who decomposes them?" Just for that, and reasons concern ing several bothersome courses in oir. school, there are no verses this is sue. But do not despair, kind read er, we shall try to make a rime for you next week. When do we heat? the spectators in the gallerv at the recent Grail dance were given a rare treat last Saturday night. a woman was seen on the floor perform ing alone. Necks craned, and even mouths dropped in wonder, then, as the music twined into a dreamv lull aby, the erstwhile lone dancer turned ound, and it was discovered that she was being supported in gentle ease and with a kindly grace hv our little friend, Charlie Spencer.
