GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT

didn't cuss the-- University in
fact, he didn't cuss anybody.
" He didn't talk much for pub

Chapel Hill a ' charming place,
He noted particularly the ab
sence of sign boards that are so
common in manyVcollege towns,
and he was equally , pleased that
there were no ugly signs to mar
the beauty of the Chapel Hill
Durham highway.:! He reaffirm
ed his faith in the University of
North Carolina as ''one of the
great intellectual centers of the
country.' He even went so far
as to pick our': own Governor
McLean to lead the Democrats
to victory in the next presiden
tial election. ; . - :

Mencken applied soft soap;
place of sulphide. He was play
ing the role of guest and playing
it with the same vigor that he
plays the role of critic. True,
he had criticised the South se
verely but "he had always laid
claim to being a friend of the
South, ' Now that " he was here,
as guest of the South, it was up
to him to observe the amenities
of social intercourse. And he
did the role in great shape. ,
Did he want his hosts to take
him literally? Of course not.
Did he really think that Govern
or McLean has a fine chance of
securing the presidential nomi
nation? Did he think the Uni
versity of North Carolina was a
bout perfect, as universities go?
Did he find nothing here that he
micht have lambasted? Will he
cease his vituperation of the
great South once he is back in
his Baltimore den? Of course
not!
It waa the same old Mencken
talking with his tongue in his
cheek. : There may have been
those among us who had grown
accustomed to taking the - man
seriously, who half-way expect
ed,-half-way' hoped that the
great critic would storm his way
up and down the Southland,
rearing and tearing and charg
ing as he went. To ithose, the
visit of the great Mencken must
have been a great disappoint
