PARAGRAPHICS
Students, Students, don't you cry,
We'll win a game, by and by.
Now that the "Y" drive is over
we are ready to make our contri
bution toward a fund for the pur
chase of tackling dummies for the
football team. And in case it is nec
essary, we are prepared to contrib
ute toward a fund for the hiring of
a special tackling' coach.
The editor of the Tar Heel does
not pose as an authority on football
nor does lie claim to know a great
deal about the sport, but he does
believe that he -has seen enough
games to know when a team can't
tackle and when it can't pass. The
Carolina team can do neither.
We have the very greatest re
spect for the men on the varsity
squad and we believe that the ma
terial here is the best in the state.
Either the Fetzers are traveling in
company that's too classy for them
when they hit men like Garrity, or
they have lost the art of producing
winning teams.
We do not! express mere personal
opinion, but we act as mirror for
the campus, when we say that the
students are ready to say, "Give us
a winning coach." There has been
much such sentiment out in the state
ever since the Wake Forest game in
1924.
A team that can't pass and can't
tackle cannot hbpiqi to win many
games. , The margin of victory Sat
urday lay in Carolina's poor tack
ling and Wake Forest's two Com
pleted passes. The Baptists were
a better coached team, and anybody
can tell you that. This is not de
structuve criticism, but is ultra-constructive.
THE STORY OF A CRIME
Last year 38 new tennis courts
were opened to the student body
These courts constituted what was
heralded as the most magnificent
field of courts in all the South. The
University press agency, in telling
about the great event, modestly ad'
mitted that it was but another step
forward in the University's great
program of encouraging every stu-
dent to partake of daily exercise and
to care for his physical as well as
his intellectual self.
The student body rejoiced. It
had been rankly robbed of a new
gymnasjum when funds intended for
the use of men students were mis
handled, misappropriated, and di
verted into two channels one to
erect, at a cost of $115,000, a young
mansion for a handful of women
students, a need not pressing ; and
the other to erect, at a total cost of
$103,500, the white elephant south
of the campus known commonly as
the "Tin Can."
, The pressing need on the campus
at the time of the building of the
new co-ed , mansion and the Tin
Can" wa a gymnasium 'of ample
size and equipment to accommodate
the student body. The present gym
nasium was then, just as it is now,
disgrace not only to the Univer
sity but to the State of North Caro
lina as well. Today the gymnasium
is not adequate to care for the Fresh
man class.
. This woeful lack of gymnasium
equipment represents a crime against
the youth of the state. To crowd
over two thousand young men into
Chapel Hill and, at the age of the
students here, to deny the great
majority of them the facilities of
regular and systematic exercise, is
a crime far more serious than it may
appear at first. ; This we heartily
believe. If any student who, through
the lack of a decent swimming pool
here, has never learned to swim and
is drowned, the University of North
Carolina is guilty of murder. And
this is not x at all far-fetched. A
course here is supposed to prepare
a man for life and he is taught Eng
lish 111 and History 222, but to
take care' of himself he is not only
not taught, but is even denied the
facilities with which to learn. -
We have called the use to .which
the quarter of a million dollars was
directed a case of misappropriation
and mishandling. Perhaps it was
not a crime by the cold harsh law
as found in the North Carolina crim
inal code, but in the spirit in which
this University was founded, in
which the college at Greensboro was
founded, and in the spirit in which
the money was granted by the state
legislature, it was mishandled. The
women could have, easily waited and
modern gymnasium would have
obliterated any need for the "Tin
Can."
Yet with all this inadequacy in
athletic facilities, we 'find that of
the 38 new courts, 12 are not even
equipped with nets. Not onjy is
one third of the field without nets,
but not a single one of the courts
is in a condition that can be termed
"first class." '
Who is responsible for this state
of affairs ? ' The field of courts rep
resents virtually the only opportun
ity an upperclassman has of exer
cising, and at full capacity the 38
courts will take care of only 152
men. Yet 12 of them are not-even
furnished with nets. Why does such
a condition exist? Why this ineffi
ciency? Every student is compelled
to pay an athletic fee. Is he not
entitled to expect the University to
keepn usable condition what little

We bear the Fetzers no ill-will
and hope that they can finish the
season without their team suffering

second successive time and we be
lieve that if the University team was

been, Wake Forest would never have

University 'sinned when it voted

The present condition of jthe gym

been spent and only the legislature
is able to remedy the situation. But
the tennis courts can be easily kept
furnished with nets, the surface of
the courts can be kept in shape, they
can be limed off, and the back-stops
can be made into real back-stops by
the expenditure of a littletime, a
little money, and a little considera
tion for the physical wellbeing of
the students.
Wednesday night in New West build
ing candidates for the University or
chestra held their-first meeting.
This meeting was informal, having for
its main purpose the introduction of the
men to the new director, Mr. T. S. Mc-
Corkle, who is also leader of the Uni
versity bund. Mr. McCorkle, a member
of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, is a
graduate of Texas W. C. Conservatory
of Music, where he was awarded the de
gree of bachelor of music. He was also
student at Southern Methodist Uni
versity and a graduate student of the
Chicago Conservatory of Music and
Kansas City University. The new direc
tor has had much experience in violin
coocert work in the mid-west, where he
begin his career as "instructor in various
colleges at the age of seventeen years,
Mr. McCorkle, whose specialty Is violin
instruction, conducts classes in all kinds
of orchestra . music.
The formal organization of the com
pany will come next Wednesday evening
at 7:30 o'clock in the New West building,
Places are open to all players of sym
phony orchestra instruments. All talent
ed players in the community are wel
comed to a try-out for positions in this
organization. Although the orchestra
will draw its membership from both the
student body and the community, it will
be a University department ' and enter
prise. Practices will be conducted by
Mr. McCorkle at 7:30 o'clock in New
West for two hours every Wednesday
evening. . r .
Plans for the coming season are most
promising for the corps of musicians.
Each quarter the orchestra will make
one appearance at the University and
render two concerts in other towns. The
two outside engagements for this quar
ter have not been announced yet, but no
doubt the organization which received so
much praise last year will enjoy very
attractive trips this season. Inasmuch
as the orchestra has been reorganized on
a larger scale, with many new plans, a
highly successful year is predicted for
the company.
PUBLISH CHINESE
PLAY IN MAGAZINE
"Thrice Promised Bride" in the
"Golden Book."
A PLAYMAKER PRODUCT
Play is Classed with Masterpieces by
the Editors
Cheng-Chin Hsiung's Chinese play,
"The Thrice Promised Bride", written
In Chapel Hill and produced with great
success last season by the Carolina Play-
makers, has been published in the August
issue of The Golden Book. To those
familiar with the policy of this magazine
such publication is readily recognizable
as a signal honor both to Mr. Hsiung and
to the group he represents. The Qolden
Book, a comparative newcomer in the
field of periodicals, has innovated the
plan of printing only the fiction, verse,
and plays which have attained a per
manent place in literature. Such "aris
tocrats of letters" as Anatole France,
Charles Dickens, Herman Melville, Wil-
kie Collins, Ambrose Bierce, H. C. Bun-
ner, and O. Henry are represented
its pages by their best work. Most of the
chosen authors are dead, but occasionally
The Qolden Book draws from a living
writer. Mr. Hsiung has joined the ranks
of this honored minority; his play has
appeared in company with some of the
masterpieces of literature. The play was
first published in The Carolina Maga
zine and also published in Theatre Art
Magazine and Poetry.
Harry Wysham Lanier, editor of The
Qolden Book has the following to say
about the Oriental fantasy "The Thrice
Promised Bride is an interesting example
of a contemporary Chinese drama, by a
man thoroughly conversant with the tra
ditional customs and literary methods of
his own country, but having absorbed a
western point of view. He has based
his play on an ancient naif- Chinese folk
tale, yet the treatment is such that no
modern can miss the humor or the deft
skill of his presentation."
The play was unusually successful
when given by the Piaymakers on their
last state tour and was thought by them
to be their best production in a consid
erable time. Their judgment has been
confirmed by a discriminating board of
editors who have the products of genius
of all time to draw from. Mr. Hsiung
and the Piaymakers should be proud in
deed to have "The Thrice Promised
Bride" placed in the same volume with
the works of the world's most famous
literary masters.
SENDING WIRE PLACED
ON EMERSON FIELD
Western Union Installs Special Instru
ment for Sending of Reports
of .Games.
"Snooks" Durham, class of 1919 and
Phi Beta Kappa man, attended the af
fray between the Tar Heels and the
Demon Deacons, Saturday. Friends of
"Snooks" will be glad to learn that he
is now superintendent of a large cotton
mill In Lincolnton.
A telegraph sending instrument ex
tending from the local office of the
Western Union to an advantageous po
sition on Emerson Field has , been In
stalled through the efforts of Mr. Bull-
ington, manager of the Chapel Hill of
fice, in order to facilitate the sending of
reports of athletic contests on the field.
The sender on Emerson Field is con
nected to a private receiving instrument
in the local office, from which reports
of future games can be wired to vapious
parts of the country. '
The sender' was installed a few days
before the Carolina-Wake Forest game
and by means of it the score was known
throughout the state sometime earlier
than it could have been without the ad
ditional instrument. Only a few south
ern colleges have telegraph instruments
located on the athletic fields, and Caro
lina is the first one in the state to in
stall one.
LOAN FUND BORROWING
BECOMES COMPLICATED
Bradshaw Alters Application Proced
ure and, Confines Loans to Most In
', digent and Deserving Students.
Self-help students making application
for a loan from the University Loan
Fund this year will find the procedure
somewhat altered, according to Dean
Bradshaw, who heads this service.
Indigent students, proposing to avail
themselves of this aid, are required to
make a complete budget of the proposed
year's expenses on filing application for
a loan. Other information, which will
give the Dean a "line" on the activi
ties and plans of the applicant, are strict
requirements on the application. Fea
turing this information is the-statement
of the total present indebtedness and
plans for liquidation of the same.
Many self-help students have been
benefited by this loan fund, and it is
the purpose of Dean Bradshaw in mak
ing these changes to "filter" the appli
cants down to a fine degree, aiding those
students who are the most deserving.
Rev. Sam K. Philips, pastor of the
Highland Presbyterian Church, Fayette-
ville, and an ardent supporter of -the
University's liberal program, attended

each month during the year.
At the conclusion of business matters
refreshments were served. A social
hour then closed the meeting.
METHODIST STUDENTS
GET WARM WELCOME
The reception given by the Chapel Hill
Methodist church Thursday night in
honor of Carolina students from Metho
dist congregations proved as successful
as Rev. Mr. Patton and his people could
have wished. Two hundred and fifty
guests enjoyed a program of social re
creation led by Mr. J. S. Phillips, the
student pastor. The leading feature of
the evening was a game of Bible Base
ball. Ice cream and cake were served,
and the meeting broke up with singing

cept Saturdays and Sundays, vesper
services will be held in Gerrard Hall.

the same lines as last year, namely, an
opening song, a scripture reading fol
lowed by a short prayer, and a closing
song. In the past these services have

Sixteen Big Buses Pass
Through Town Thursday
Student and local Interest was aroused
last Thursday afternoon about 1 :30 by a
procession of sixteen large Faeogol
Safety Coaches which arrived in town
and stayed for a short while. One cu
rious freshman wondered if the delega
tion of 83 college presidents . for the
jubilee next month had arrived prema
turely. An inquiry into the matter dis
closed the fact, however, that these buses
had just come from the branch factory
in New Jersey and were destined for va
rious points in Florida to assist in car-
ing for the Inrush of tourist and winter
residents. .
Perry Chosen for
Tar Heel Position
, WUliam D. Perry, of Elizabeth City,
was selected to act as chapel reporter
for The Hab Heel during the coming
year. The placing of Perry on the
staff marks the first time in recent
years that a first year man bag been
allowed to hold a regular position on the
paper. . ,
Perry is an understudy of Earl Hart-
sell, former University student, who is
now teaching in the Elizabeth City high
school. Hartsell was managing editor
of The Tab Heel and editor of the Buc
caneer, and has been , acting as faculty
supervisor of publications in the school
where he is now teaching.
Large Crowd Attends
Organ Recital Sunday
At the recital on the organ given by
Paul John Weaver at the Episcopal
church Sunday afternoon every seat was
taken and quite a few were standing in
the rear. The program given was very
much enjoyed by the audience.- .
The numbers played were the follow
ing:
Toccata and Fugue, D Minor (Bacho).
Chant sans Paroles (Faure).
The Nightingale and the Rose (Saint-
Saens).
Song of the River Volga (arr. Eddy).
Sonata in E Minor (Rogers) in five
parts: Allegro con Brio, Adagio, Scher
zo, Interludio and Fuga.
Directory is Now
Available for Students
Never before has a directory of the
students been so quickly put at their
disposal. Only a week after registration
and copies are found at the entrance to
all dormitories and In all offices on the
campus.
Although not bound and in so very
correct form, due to the fact that it was
worked up so quickly, yet it serves it's
purpose. In fact, not even time enough
was taken to get the names in complete
alphabetical order. But this is only a
directory for immediate use and the real
one in bound form and much more cor
rect will be ready to be presented to
each student in about a month.
