Or, if they did, they ev idently secluded themselves somewhere among the visiting folks. For they don't believe in pep meetings and rooting and the like, and that's what every body over in the Carolina bleach ers was doing. Maybe The Faun editor sat on the South Carolina side, and one might ex cuse him for doing so, for he comes from South Carolina, you know. - Which forces us to add that he probably has the Uni versity of South Carolina m mind when he's talking about the things that don't set right a round here.

FOUNDER'S DAY The worst typographical mis take we have heard of lately was the changing of "Student Forum" into "Students for Rum." ' " In describing his Alma Mater a student says "The University of Chicago, founded by the Bap tists, invacbd by the Jews, and demoralized by the Greeks, lies gouth-east " of the Stock-yards and 'slightly west of the belt of intellectual achievement." Now we would like to know how the Chicago professors here feel a bout that. " C ., "., News comes to 'us from the Department of Music tHat some body presumably, a student broke into a room in New West and crushed a very valuable cel lo, which had just , beerapired. We hoDe the authorities have erred in their surmise, for we hate to think that there is ' a Students and alumni have reason to feel proud of being a part of the University of North Carolina today when Founders Day exercises will be held to mark the passing of another year of service to the state and nation. From its inception the Univer sity has had important respon sibilities ' and it has always measured up fully to its duties. In the history of the state and nation it has played a leading role. As far back as the Civil War the roll of its alurnni in cluded, among a long list of em inent and distinguished men, a president and vice-president of the United States, seven cabinet officers, nine senators, forty-one members of Congress, five for eign ministers, thirteen govern ors of North Carolina and sev en governors of other states. There are golden pages in the history of the University on which are inserted the names of those who led the state in its toilsome rehabilitation. In the past the University has been contented with being call ed the best in the South, but to day it is beginning a new era which will soon have as its new slogan, "The University" of North Carolina, the best in the Nation." "The University of tomorrow can bring to the service of the state no finer spirit," no more passionate devotion, than did the University of the years that are gone, said r resident Lnase last night in an address before the Guilford County Alumni Asso ciation. "But it can bring to its task a spirit that is just as fine, ideals that are just as high. Not so many years ago it was in com petition with Virginia, Texas, and Vanderbilt. Today it is nationally known. Today the pressure upon it is nation-wide. The University is in a formative period, a period of remaking its entire structure into one capable of carrying the complete burden of work a modern, first-rate state university is called upon to perform. The education of yesterday is not adequate for the youth of tomorrow." He said that North Carolina is just now entering. a third educational era Which "sees education as ' the stable means of steady progress in a commonwealth . that is be ginning to measure her resourc es and her advancement by national standards. We jeopard ize the future of the state if we are content with anything less, than this." Behind us lie the wonderful Last Saturday - afternoon, while Carolina students were cheering a football tearn that was badly in need of encourage-ment-and it was such cheering as oldtimers have never excell ed here boys were handing out trratis copies of a paper called The Faun. The students were so intent on seeing the Carolina victory well done that there was Uttln rmnnrtlinitv to SCan the sheet until the first half. .Then the v discovered that another "yellow journal" had made its appearance on the campus. The sponsors of "The Faun" could not have got off to a worse start. They had timed their lit io TmAr whinh thev term an independent publication of criti cism and opinion by a group of students at the University of North Carolina" for what they thought would be a psychologi cal moment. They had figured hat the Tar Heels would lose Saturday's game by at least two touchdowns and would therefore be in some frame of mind to car ry more chips on their shoulders. The little sheet which carried five advertisements, with lots o space reserved for others which didn't show up, informed the student body that everything was wrong at the University of North Carolina. It informed us that "sport is dead at Carolina it spoke of "an insidious influ ence emanating from Emerson Field"; it informed us "that sports is a dutj that students don't play for the love of the game ; that students "who can't restrain themselves" go to pep meetings and yell and that pep meetings are bunk; that the Uni versity ofvNorth Carolina is "third-rate in athletics ' (we only won two Southern cham- enough to expect Chapel Hill merchants through advertising and University ' . students, through their nickels, to support' ;he yellow sheet. . . c We have here the spectacle of a little group of a dozen or more trying to get their little whims into print at the expense of Chanel Hill and Durham mer chants and 2500 students. From a financial, standpoint, is is one of the biggest pieces of attempt ed graft we have ever heard of. Now, while we are dealing with this group, let's take a look at the publication situation. Every member of the Carolina Magazine board belongs to the group, and they are making some mighty ambitious inroads on the Carolina Buccaneer and the Tar Heel. Yes, the president of the Publications Union is one of them, too, by virtue of the fact that the presient-elect did n't return this fall, but, in all fairness to him, we must admit that his power is very limited Now, watch them try to place a member of their group at the head of every publication on the campus when elections come a-4 round next spring. And we will be led to wonder: Does this fraternity possess all the liter nrv talent on the campus? Is it entitled to a monopoly on pub lications? . . The Faun apparently was published for two reasons: first, to advertise the Sigma Delta fraternity's products at the ex pense of the campus, and sec ond, to give the editor of the i Carolina Magazine an opportun ity to get into something re sembling the limelight. The magazine editor must have real ized at the outset that, in view Sneclal .Meeting of Buccaneer Staff Tonight There will be a meeting of the Buccaneer Staff toT night at 8:30 o'clock in the Buccaneer Office of -Alum--ni building.

The play was to have been given at Forest Theatre but due to the fall weather the produc tion was changed to Memorial Hall, the Playmaker Theatre be ing too small for the presenta tion. Eight of the seats will be removed and the "stage will be enlarged so as to take care of the action of the play. Tall trees will form an impressive background for the play, the costumes and senery are the most georgeous that the Play- makers have yet attempted, and the lighting effects were con sidered the best yet seen here when the, play was given here during the summer school.

C pionships last year, you know a record said to be unequalled m the South). Tn fact, according to "The Faun", just about ev erything you can think of is wrong at Carolina, except the Carolina Magazine., The edi tor of "The Faun", who also hanoens to be editor of the Magazine, modestly admits that he has salvaged the magaT zine from the wreckage by us ing outside material. To take up your time and sDace answering these absurd and foolish arguments would be ridiculously painful. We are not going to insult your intelligence by attempting to answer them for you. The answer is to be found from day to day on this campus, in the classroom, out on the athletic field, at the pep meetings, in the everyay life of a free University. But this yellow sheet called The Faun gives us cause to expose a condition here on the campus that probably should have been taken into account long ago. Take a look at the editorial board of this thing call ed The Faun. With the ex ception of two men (and these are faithful understudies) and two co-eds (who are ineligible), every member of the editorial board is a member of the Sig ma Delta fraternity (local, founded in 1924, petitioning Delta Upsilon. ever since.) This is no secret to the old men on the campus. But look what this group has gone and done! . They are pub lishing an official house orrgan and have even mustered up e nough brass to ask Chapel Hill merchants and University stu dents to support it..; In other words, Sigma Delta one among 0 odd social fraternities here is issuing its own journal, with an appeal that is based solely on sensationalism and has got gall of the fact so few people read the magazine, he would be an unknown quantity on the cam pus unless he could stir up some sort of ruckus. ? Now, that he is also head of The Faun, he probably has achieved his ambi tion, and we congratulate him. We are convinced that he means well, that he is acting with sin cerity, but our guess is that South Carolina has far better diplomats. Last summer he got his first taste of professional newspaper work as a cub report er on a Charlotte newspaper, and we have always been told that if you give a cub reporter e- nough rope he will hang him self. But, despite the fact that he has come all the way from South Carolina to reform the university of his sister state, we respect his sincerity. Let's get things straight be fore we quit. We have no ob jection whatsoever to the birth of new publications that will help to improve this campus and make this a greater University That's what the Tar Heel is pull ing for all the time. But if a publication can t show some signs of being constructive, we say it ought to begin looking around for a burial plot. : There may be room here for some sort of magazine of opin ion and comment such at "The Faun" essays to be. We are led to believe, for instance, that something modelled along the lines of the Chapel Hill Weekly's Halifax Jones and Chapel Hill Chaff columns would be eagerly read by the student body. ' We know of no editor who is more personal in the columns of his paper than Mr. Louis Graves, and yet he does not offend com mon decency and propriety. But that, of course, requires skill. The Faun in brief, is simp ly another effort to imitate old man Mencken, but what a puny, feeble effort!, . . . BUDD-PIPER ROOFING COMPANY Durham, N. C.
