The caption, indeed, is a true. Inspiration. Out of the Mouth of Babes! Was ever any thing more appropriate? : ' -its author we assume to be an under graduate; if our assumption is correct, he is certainly a chappy of very unusual perception and critical insight. His en deavor to designate and - correct such detrimental influence as arises from the negative presence, on our Jacobin Cam pus, of a shallow and fraudulent scholar whose attainments, though widely rec ognized, consist merely in his having achieved , a distinguished position in his chosen field, is highly to be recommend ed. Noble effort!

He mixed two of our paragraph ia in the Tuesday issue. Our call for the selections of honorary clubs wasn't for baseball clubs,, but for such honorary clubs as Booloo, S. I. X., and soforth. ;..,. We are going to make reference to Kike Kyser, but get us right now, the reference has nothing to do with the honorary clubs just mentioned Kike is the same thing to local base ball fans as Nick Altrock is to the Mujiiiiigwu jaua. : Aiis antics are enjoyed by all. Some day we ex pect to see Kike succeeding Nick or Will Rogers in the Ziegfield follies. ' ' ' . - ; Dean Brown of the Yale Divinity School gave much enlightenment in his series of McNair lectures here this week. Since the objects of the lectures "shall be to show the mutual bearing of science and religion upon attributes (as far as may be) of God from nature," the Committee of One Hundred in Charlotte should have come up to hear the lectures and be enlightened a little. What is our standing in baseball now? Nearly all the teams in the state have downed the Tar Heels, but after Guilford had made almost a clean sweep the Duneanites came along and handed the Quakers a licking. Two extra games have been added ' to the schedule which can either complicate or straighten out our standing a little. , And several strong nines have to be faced before we Will know where we are and why we are. POOR SERVICE The "'fourth annual Southern Con ference track meet is being held on Emerson field today,, This event will In? participated in by more than 200 athletes from twenty southern colleges arid by thousands AT spectat ors. Special bleachers have been erec ted to accommodate the crowds which are expected. - The ... University welcomes , these visitors with eagerness. This is the first time that Chapel Hill has been favored with an event of this nature and importance, and every student should appreciate the honor which Carolina has been accorded by being made the host of the conference. Letters -have been sent to the dif ferent fraternities and student : or ganizations asking them to co-operate in entertaining Hie. visiting athletes and making their sojourn in Chapel Hill a pleasant one. We hope that every, student will help in every Way that he can to make these visi tors feel welcome and at home and that they may go away feeling, that appear, that the Editorial is justified the University has been an ideal host. I W observation extending over a period of nine months. Through co-incidence we also have been in intimate associ ation with the esteemed author's target for diatribe, though it has hardly re quired a "period so extensive as his to enable us" to formulate a very definitely antithetical opinion. : , The Editorial is an expression of a sentiment which is ' not solely .confined to an individual, but rather to a small group of blatently presumptious students who go about the campus with a bland assurance that' they are qualified to pronounce anathema upon those Instruc tors who do- not teach them what they had expected to be taught, in other words, what they already knew - when they entered the University. Though we do hot like . to throw bricks, since that manner appears to be in vogue in this section, we must moke an effort to conform. Such crass crit icism of a gentleman whose distinction is of unquestionable mark, whose influ ence among us has always been salutary! in the highest degree, and whose position in the faculty of the University of North Carolina was a significant factor to many who have "selected this univer sity is, to say the least, unbecoming, ungentlemanly, and, in the prevailing vernacular, ROTTEN in view of its source. ' R. S. Alfonso, J. A. Crow. (For Time) If competition is the spice of life, he North Carolina Corporation Com mission should - be sued for giving one company a monopoly on the bus service to and from Chapel Hill and allowing such rotten service. About a year ago a law was passed which practically said to the effect that competition must cease and mon opoly shall "prevail in the bus service. Immediately there wag a 'decrease in the service and the bottom has just about been reached. The local bus company bargained with the Tab Heel to take all copy to Durham and have it delivered to the printers. Twice during the past three weeks envelopes of copy have been mis placed or delayed between here and the printers and thereby caused the Tar Heel to lose some of the most important stories and editorial mat ter. ' ;' ' Making complaint to the bus com pany is like beating against a stone wall. The local carriers know that there is no other accessible way to get copy to Durham hourly that the local paper could stand financially. And, what almost makes- our blood boil is that after giving such unsatis factory service, notice has been given by the bus manager to the business manager of the Tar Heel that the price for carrying Tar Heel copy will be almost doubled. A.nd we are helpless. Surely' the bus commission will have 'to do something before long to kill the monopoly and bring back competition. , NETMEN ENTERED IN ATLANTA MEET Southern Conference Tennis Tournament Began Yesterday., TEAM LEFT WEDNESDAY M tfie Cfturcfjes Team Is Considerably Weaker.

Editor op Ta Heix: I wish to voice' my sincerest disap proval of . the obscene ' initiation held Thursday afternoon by the Tau Kappa Alpha fraternity. I believe that when a fraternity, which is supposed to be made up of leaders and men of ' character, drop to the depths of public" obscenity in order to be spectacular that the purpose' of the organization is usurped and that the men who direct its destinies are not worthy of being called leaders of our campus. " - " I chanced to. pass Vance dormitory Thursday evening and through curiosity joined a crowd gathered there listening to comically . dressed individuals tell dirty jokes. I am not one who fails to appreciate a good joke, but when it becomes necessary for the speaker to cease spetokjng in order to let some ladies get out of hearing distance I am both mortified and embarrassed. Imagine the ladies' feelings as a cowardly silence awaits her passing! :' - Although the listeners apparently en joyed the jokes and gave the neophytes encouragement, I am sure that had the mother or sister of a single one of these individuals been present that he would have left the scene. Because the listen ers encouraged the act is no proof that the initiation met with their approval, in fact I talked with several who lament ed the degeneracy shown. I am not criticizing public initiations, but I do object to such spectacles as I chanced to witness Thursday. ' I am sorry that I was among the group of listeners, but I am doubly glad that I heard only the last two jokes and that I recognized none of my friends in the bunch of curious ones. . ' ' . I ' believe that an organization sup posedly composed of leaders does not have to resort to such means in order to become known td the campus. ' I have noticed numerous public initiations on the campus this spring. It seems to be the vogue to do something suggestive or obscene. , I believe that such action detracts from the dignity intended for that group to uphold, and if the men who are asked to do these ' deeds are meii of conscience,' I believe that they will "bump" the organization rather than sacrifice their own self-respect. . The newspaper and literary clubs are given to much fun making at their an nual festivities. Their attitude is reas onable, since these men are not known in the public light, bul even In these instances , the strictest decency Is main- The Tar Heel Racketmen journeyed down td Atlanta Wednesday night to take part in the Southern Conference Tennis Tournament being held there yesterday and today. The various col leges that sent teams to the tournament are Georgia. Tech, Tulane, University of North Carolina, Washington and Lee, University of Mississippi, and the University of Florida. All these insti tutions have, strong teams with very good players. Carolina entered the tournament with a clean slate as far as dual meets' are concerned. The Tar Heels failed to cop any of the 1 ribbons in the State, meet held here. Perhaps the strongest teams entered in the tournament are Tularie and Geor gia Tech, Tulane has ''.won .the singles for Hie, hist four years and the doubles for the last two years. Murray, , of Tulane has emerged victorious in the singles for four consecutive years; while Murray and Chamberlain, arid Murray and O'Kelly in 1925 and 192 respect ively have won the doubles affair for their Alma Mater. Georgia Tech players have always given their opponents' a run or their money before eliminated. Last year Grant , forced Murray to go five long sets before he was finally elim inated. .The i sorrel-topped youngster should be there with, flags flying this year and is being counted on to put up a vigorous fight. Georgia Tech an nexed the singles ; championship five years ago but was forced to relinquish it to Tulane the following season. Carolina was eliminated last year in the semi-finals of the" tournament but hopes to annex the title this year. In 1923 a doubles team composed of Cox and Jernigan brought top honors back to the Old North State from Atlanta. Captain "Hap" Whitaker will go into the tournament favored to win. Hap has a wonderful service combined with fast drive and all-round excellent court game. Duncan Elgin has the ad vantage of - being left-handed and has his opponent at his disadvantage because of the awkwardness of playing a south paw. Dalrymple and Geddie have been turning in wins for the Tar Heels con sistently this season and will give some body a hard scrap before going down in defeat. . Baptist Eugene Olive, Pastor 9:48 a. m.

DEBATING TEAM HAS RETURNED FROM TRIP Team Composed of Young and Green wood Lost to Tulane But Won a . Decision Over' Emory. . ..: .... , Carolina's negative debating team com posed of M. M. Young, Durham, and R. H. Greenwood, Asheville, returned from their Southern trip last Thursday after winning unanimously from Emory at At lanta, May 5 and loosing on May 7 to Tulane at New Orleans in discussions of the query: Retolved, That the military forces of the United States should be co-ordinated into !a department of Na tional Defense, with sub-branches for the Army, Navy, and Air Forces. Opposing them in the Emory debate were J. Q. Maxwell, by far the best de bater appearing against Carolina this year, and M. A; Sellars. The feature of this debate was thef continued cracking of jokes on the part of Carolina, ;which was brought on by the inconsistent ar gument that Emory presented. This jok ing of their opponents by . Carolina seemed to please the audience and was! instrumental, no doubt, in winning the decision. Judges in ; the debate were Senator Hoke Smith, Congressman Wil liam S. Howard, and Hr. Rueben Arnold, At Tulane the Carolina negative team was defeated by the decision 2 to l by Elmer Arndt and Samuel Goodman. The affirmative although inconsistant in its argument of separation, came back strong in the rebuttal. R. JL Greenwood, debating for his first time, made a splendid showing on the trip.' The Carolina debaters were royally entertained at New, Orleans by Prof, Bost of the Department of. Chemistry of Tulane, a University of North Carolina alumnus, and George M. Segcl, Tulane student, who is remembered here as hav ing debated Carolina last year.' Displaying the same snappy brand of ball that brought them five victories out of six games last week, the Carolina freshmen celebrated tlieir retuyi to their own back yard by trouncing the Duke yearlings 6 to 3. This victory gave the Tar Babies the season's series two games to one. t The Tar Babies scored first in the third inning. Furches opened this round with a one base rap to center; then, with the hit and run on, Beam singled to right and Furches raced to third. Elli son hit a slow tap to the infield and Furches was run down between third and home; Beam reached third and Ellison second on the play. After Foard had gone out to third, Satterfield scored both runners with a single to center field. Five hits and two infield outs added three more runs to the Tar Babies' total in the fourth. The final counter came In the seventh round as the result of an error plus two safe hits. The Duke irosh scored their ; first marker in the fourth; when, with two out, Adams doubled to left and scored when Furches misjudged Crabtree's long fly to left-center. Their othr run came in the seventh when Ellison weak ened for a moment and allowed the visi tors to bunch two hits with a base on balls, and a hit batsman, to produce two runs. This ended the Duke scoring for the day. ' , Box score and summary! . Duke Ab R II Po A E Saturday, May 15, iqoq MOVMENT TO STAET RELIGIOUS SCHOOL ON Council of Religious Workers Sends Petition to Secretary of State to Found School of Religion. The last meeting of the year of the Religxus Workers CouncU, held last Tuesday night in the social rooms of the Methodist Church was occupied with im portant announcements and discussions of plans for the religious work on the campus for the approaching summer school next year. A petition 'for a charter for the' es tablishment of a "School of Religion" at the University has been drawn up for presentation to the Secretary fo State, it was announced by Mr. Patten. He stated that many of the Carolina Alumni in the stute are showing Increased inter est in the founding of the school for next year, and that their support of the pro gram is assured. ; The purpose of this iscliool will be to provide non-denominational Bible in struction for -any students in the Uni versity desiring the course. It is the Intention of the Council to open the sclipol next fall, providing a man of high at tainments in scholarship and religion can be found to accept the headship by that time. The University will be asked to give course credits for courses in the school properly completed. The proposed charter provides for a board of directors composed of repre sentatives from the churches of Chapel Hill, the University Y. M. C. A., and from any other religious group in the state tturt wishes to participate. ; Mr. Comer announced that a course In Bible study would be given by Rev. Mr. Lawrence during the first half of the approaching summer school, for the benefit of tliose teachers who are called up back in home communities to teach Sunday School classes, lead Bible dis cussion groups, or conduct other religious activities. Already inquiries have been received from a number of . prospective students regarding the course, and many have signified their intention to take the course. .! - - A plan Is under way to provide a minister for the Union Services during the second half of the summer school, while most of the local ministers will be taking their annual vacation period. It was stated that Dr. Poteat, of Wake Forest, has agreed to take two Sundays, and possibly three, during , this period. Daily vespers will be held in Gerrard Hall during the summer school, as here tofore. talned. Literary and other fraternities whose men are mostly unknown to the campus are excused for holding public Initiations, but when leaders are forced to humiliate themselves in order to make their club spectacular, they cease to be leaders but one of the common herd of popularity seekers.
