Thursday, May 6, 1926
According to Dr. Rondthaler in
the tapping room Tuesday night, the
two hooded tapsters crowned four
nuts.
California may have its sheep on
the campus to keep the grass mowed
but Carolina had two mules nibbling
the grass on the campus Monday.
And they are not the onlyjackasses
here either.
THE GOLDEN FLEECE
The Golden Fleece made no mis
take in the four men it picked Tues
day night. ' They have an excellent
record in their particular fields, and
no doubt the campus' will heartily
approve their selection. But there is
one tiling the campus will not ap
prove: namely, the decision ot the
Fleece that there were only four men
entitled to the honor. The Tar
Hekl believes the order made a mis
take in not selecting more men, for,
there is no getting around the fact
that more men were eligible. The
Fleece was founded at a time when
the University was torn by friction
between the different groups and its
purpose was to unify the campus by
bringing the leaders of the major
groups together in one organization.
Just in so far as it 'achieves that
purpose, just so far does the order
justify its existence.
Now, the qilcstion is this . Rid the
Fleece fulfill that purpose in making
this year's selections the smallest
number ever made since ; the order
was fpunded? Is there less leadership
on the campus today than there'has
been in the last twenty-three years?
The organization as a whole is
probably not to be blamed for what
happened. It is understood that
strenous attempts were made to agree
On more men, but politics which is
supposed to play no part in Fleece
selections made its insidious influ
ence felt this time and the members
of the Fleece wouldn't . compromise
on candidates. So, while it is to be
deplored that friction occurred with
in the Fleece group itself, perhaps
it is better that, since it did occur,
men were selected on whom there
was unanimity of opinion. Had
the trading and swapping process
been allowed to go its length, there
no telling where it would have
stopped or what might have happened.
Several of the Fleece men have
openly expressed their disgust at
this year's proceedings. That is an
encouraging sign. hen sensible
people find that something ails them
they are more than likely to do some
thing about it. '
quite gulp the dose. It was too bit
ter and it required manhood. But
what could they do? They had been
licked in an honest election. They
couldn't cry fraud, stuffed ballots,
as they might .have done in the days
of yore. What could they do? Ah!
they had an idea. There was "The
Yellow Journal". It hadn't appeared
yet, and it was due to appear. Here
was a chance to stab the boys in the
dark and nobody would know Who
did the dirty work. ' But could they
put the thing over on "The Yellow
Journal"? They didn't know. They
did know that the Journal would be
put out under the auspices of Sigma
Upsilon, and they doubted whether
Sigma Upsilon would stand for such
rot. They succeeded in getting the
use of the literary fraternity's name
and one or two of its .men, but the
i'copy that was aimed to poison" was
written by men whose broad streak
of yellow will soon be recognized. -
The Tar Heel happens to know
that most, of 'the members of Sigma
Upsilon maybe all of them, for no
canvass has been made -reflrret that
O v
"The Yellow Journal" came out in
the form in which it finally appeared.
That by the way was the third edi
tion. The authors of the first were
so ashamed of what they had done
that they voluntarily qhanged it them
selves. The second edition was so
foul that President Chase put it to
death immediately. The third was
got out so hurriedly apparently for
fear there might be another inter
ruptionthat there was no responsi
ble supervision by anyone. At least
no one has been found who admits
it. - :
So much for "The Yellow Journ
al'.' It i$ now a thing of yesterday
and the campus will soon have for
gotten that it ever existed. . But
there is one thing the. campus will
not forget soon, and that is" how a
group of men, sore because they had
lost in campus politics, turned poor
sports and, walking in the cover of
darkness, jought to stab the men
whom the campus had honored.
A story in the Yellow Journal says
the first edition was so risque that
University authorities had it sup
pressed. Copies of the initial edi
tion would( bring most any price de
manded. What Price Glory ?
Now that the Yellow Journal has
picked the Gilded Fuzz and the
Golden Fleece has picked its men,
the Tak Heel is waiting for the
other honorary organizations on the
campus such as Booloo Club, S. I. N.,
S. T. P., H. A. E., et cetera, to send
in their official picks for publication
Gold has always been a desirable
element since it was first discovered,
and anything with the word gold or
golden attached to it has an enhanced
value. At leasts three colleges in
North Carolina have "golden" hon
orury organizations. N. C. State
has the Golden something, Carolina
the Golden Fleece, and Wake For
est the Golden Bough.
. rrri ii t w- i - -r
. ine inapei titu vews comes
along and says just what we had been
.thinking: "The University campus,
upder the direction of Dr. W. C.
Coker, is being made more beauti
ful with new lawns, the planting of
trees and shrubbery here and there,
around the buildngs, makes it beyond
any doubt one of the prettiest places
to-be found anywhere, when consider
ing its natural beauty, and coupled
with the hand that knows how, fit
ting everything in its place, to con
trast with the things not made by
hand, the man that can do such
things is undoubtedly in close touch
with nature.
TIME TO PUT AN END TO
DIRTY POLITICS
When a group of men who have
been licked to a frazzle by the vote
of the. student body in a secret bal
lot election, resort to the use of yel
low journalism in an attempt to even
scores with their political enemies
when this sort of thing happens, as
it has happened in the appearance
of "The Yellow Journal", then it is
high time for the fair-minded, right
thinking men' of the campus to rise
up and call a halt on dirty politics.
One does not have to read between
the lines to discover that "The' Yel
low Journal" had absolutely no ex
cuse for coming out this year other
than to provide a dilapidated, worn
out vehicle- on which those who
were still drinking the bitter dregs
of defeat hoped to mow down the men
who had defeated them in what is
generally agreed to have been the
most honest election in years.
Poor losers these mortals be!
Traveling under a mantle of yellow !
How many of them would sign their
names to the things they wrote? How
many of them will admit that they
wrote anything?. How many of them
will face the men they tried to stab
in the back, under the cover of .dark
ness, and look these men straight in
the eye? The Tar Heel doesn't need
to answer these questions here. Every
honest man knows.
After the recent elections were
over several of the men belonging
to the organization that lost were
among the first to congratulate the
winners and offer to cooperate with
the new officers in any effort tend
ing to make the University campus a
better place in which to live. These
men were real sports. They were
good losers. They are made of the
stuff of which only real men are
made. Now, the fight is over, they
said. It's time to pull together again
for the best interests of the Univer
sity. But there were others who
somehow just couldn't make up their
minds to accept defeat gracefully,
They , knew they ought to be good
sports, and they tried to appear to
be in public, but among old cronies
they had to admit they just couldn't
THE BATTLE RENEWED
A battle began in Charlotte Tues
day which is destined to be the re
newal of a national war of the funda
mentalists against the Modernists.
State-wide Fundamentalist mass
neetings are being held and acrimoni
ous debates are taking place at all
sessions. , '
The advance representative and
the field director of the Anti-Evolution
Society of America arrived in the
Queen City last week to make pre
parations for the campaign. ,
- According to The Charlotte News,
the organized are divided into three
distinct f roups. "The first group
includes a great, solid body of North
Carolinians, who are demanding that
no study conflicting with Bible teach
ings shall be taught in the public
schools.
"The next is composed of an im
pressive section of the people which
is demanding as vigorously that the
search for scientific truth should not
be throttled, asserting that, if the
Bible is truth, it will be assisted and
not hurt by scientific study.
"The third and smaller group con
sists of out-and-out disbelievers in
the Bible, Atheists who want no in
terference in the schools from Chris
tians."
Following the organization of t
club here for the sole purpose of dis
cussing religion in all its forms, more
than 200 hundred students at Duke
University organized into a band
which called itself "Schola Caveat'
(Beware of the Schools) to advo
cate "freedom of education in the
schools of North Carolina." ; The de
sire of the gr,oup was said to be "to
"secure the cooperation of earnest
students in an effort to combat the
introduction into the next legislature
of a bill which would prevent the
teaching of scientific research in the
schools of the State, and to prevent
a measure from being put through
which would prevent the teaching of
sail that the research of scientific, con
scientious minds has succeeded iit re
vcaling." .
The Tab Heel wishes to echo
the sentiment expressed in an edi
torial in the Durham Herald: "The
meeting by some 200 or more Duke
students the other night in protest
against the plans of the Committee
of One Hundred to muzzle f the
schools of the state was. but a public
expression of feeling that is probably
general among college students and
college men throughout the state. It
is not the outburst - of unbelievers,
or persons who have lost or are los
ing faith in Christianity, It is the
expression of education seeking high
er levels, and refusing to be curbed
and held back in that pursuit. The
meeting was, also an, expression of
love for the .old North State in that
those boys do not want to see their
sfate made, the butt of .jests and
ridicule of the rest of the world.
"Those boys reveal, that they are
students of current affairs! and have
imbibed the subject of the Ige which
inquires for truth and asserts itself
when it believes it has right on its
side. ' . :
"The older persons . may take a
lesson in fact, several lessons, from
tlrose students. It shows that young
men of today are not going to be
content to have fed into their minds
strictly prescibed views of others.
They want freedom of thought and
unlimited opportunity to find out the
truth. .-' --': '.V:.'.
. "Never before in the history of
the world has there been such a' de
mand for the truth 'and any cause
that will not stand the searching
rays of the truth when turned upon
it does not deserve to live. Long
after the Committee of One Hundred
has passed from the scene and have
been forgotten, these students and
their children and their children's
children will seek Jhe truth, and they
want to be unhampered , in that
search. They know that if illegal,
unfair and bigoted restrictions are
permitted to get a hold, unless there
is a revolution, others will follow
which will turn back the wheels of
mental progress hundreds of years
to the dark ages when religious per
secution and belief in witchcraft pre
vailed.
"It would be well for the people
to pause a moment and see that they
do not set back civilisation. The pro-
test of the students should not go
unheeded. Ignoring such protests
is inviting danger. Men of today
are just as zealous in defending the
liberty of mind and thought as they
have been in the past in defending
tlieir. bodies from the shackles of
physical slavery."

The members of the Sigma Upsilon
Literary Fraternity who were, responsi
ble for the issue of The Yellow Journal
desire to take this occasion to make pub
lie an apology due Mr; R., W. Madry j di
rector of the University News Bureau,
as the result of a statement regarding
him that was published in the Journal
through an error in the printer's of
fice. The statement was written by an
outsider not a member of Sigma Up
silon and was deleted in the proof by
the editors in charge of the issue.
Through an, error in the printing of
fice, , however, the "killed" type was
placed in the form of the fund make
up, and -in the haste of getting the
publication out the error was not noted.
The statement , referred to was ev
idently born of malicious intent and
was entirely -unjustified by facts. It
should never have been printed in any
journal, and Sigma . Upsilon regrets
exceedingly that it. was., Mr. Madry is
a member of the Sigma Upsilon himself,
and the organization has nothing but
the friendliest feelings toward him.
In this connection an apologj' is ex
tended also to Mr. JD. M. Keesier for
the reference to him was not corroborat
ed by sufficient opinion. This error was
due. to the haste necessary in publish
ing The Journal in less than twenty-4
four hours. Since The Yellow Journal
has appeared, the editors have been in
formed by a number of students that
the reference to Mr, Keeter was un
fair and untrue, and they wish to take
this opportunity of expressing public
ly their regret and apology.

To the Euitoks j. :
As a member of. the religious discus
sion group which isf.being thoughtfully
guided by 'TarsqnMoss, I take the op
portunity of explaining, through the col
umns of the Tab Heel, the true motive
of, and inspiration gained from these
meetings.
All thoughtful college students reach
the point, sooner or later, where they
want. to... hava part in a bigger, finer
broader, more serviceable, and more God
like religion. St. Paul said that when
he became a man he put away childish
tilings; tins time, has come into our
lives and we are now ready and anxious
to give the Bible and the Christian Faith
an opportunity to mean much more to
us than has been the case heretofore. It
is very regretable that many students
reaching this Crisis heCOIllA nfrmv.
minded and fail to sea that the Chris
tian Faith holds truths that meet the re
quirements of the adult as well as the
child it is largely a matter of getting
adjusted to adult life. : The University
of North Carolina is very fortunate In
having "Parson" Moss reside in Chapel
Hill, and at this time he is, through the
means of a weekly interdenominational
religious discussion group, guiding stu
dents into a bigger, fuller, more God
like concept of religion.
For my ; own part, I should like to
publicly state that the . University of
North Carolina, "Parson" Moss, and thus
discussion group have led me to a finer
Christian faith than I had ever known
before. ' And I" am not alone in this
feeling: I could name many more stu
dents who have gained true faith in God
through the Christian' influences of the
University of North Carolina.
