Personal Motives
In spite of the fact that we
believe it "Well known that our
motive of attack is not personal,
we have been asked by friends
to declare this. Therefore, we
take this opportunity to state
that at . the beginning of this
movement we were friendly to
ard all Fleecemen as individuals.
For several we have highest res
pect; our continued congenially
with all Fleece members should
disprove any charge against the
perspnal sentiments we hold.
Golden Fleece has never disap
pointed the writer of this col
umn; he strikes it for neither
the gratification of a grudge nor
the pleasure of. his friends. We
sincerely, conceive the organiza
tion as a menace to more valu
able things in University life.
Against the institution of Gold
en Fleece we have directed and
shall send, shafts of discredit.
As one of its students, we con
scientiously believe that ours is
the right to help improve the
University. With this convic
tion, we have set for our task
the casting down of a false idol,
our Golden Fleece. Any threat
against our pursuance of this
enterprise will prove unsuccess
ful and a boomerang to its pre
sumptuous author.
Call It What You Wish
A few days ago, a state news
paper's ' account of , the latest
Fleece election contained an im
plication that new men were
chosen in order to keep them
from entering a rival honorary
organization which was : being
proposed for the campus. Omi
cron Delta Kappa, a student
leaders' national fraternity, was
being considered by some to riv
al the work of the Fleece, the
article alleged. In order to
dodge the blow that inclusion of
capable men in rival society
would deal the Golden Fleece,
it seems to have selected quick
ly men whose competition they
feared. A pointed reference-to
this well-talked insinuation was
made by the editor of the Tar
Heel and this writer in Thurs
day's edition of this paper. ;
We remind you who can ap
preciate the significance of this
affair that even the most con
scientious of Golden Fleece's
members HAVE NOT DENIED
the use of such skin-saving,
competition-killing tactics by
their organization. Further
more, the attention of the stu
dent body is attracted to the
fact that Wednesday's alterca
tion, in which we were concern
ed and which three Fleecemen
have considered unrepresentar
tive of the ideals of the organi
zation, HAS NOT BEEN EX
PLAINED to the student body
before whom it occurred. Golden
Fleece is willing to give the ap
pearance of refusing to ac
knowledge officially a wrong for
which it must, justly or un
justly, receive some discredit.
Lack of Space
We had written a summary of
the points on which we have
thus far attacked the Fleece.
But space is not available in this
issue for that paragraph. We
request all students who are in
terested in the subject to be de
bated next quarter to review the
matter to be found in the last
two Tar Heels. Our. conten
tions have been 7 presented in
skeleton form. January will
bring fuller arguments and new
attackers of the organization
which we believe that the stu
dent body' has and will come to
consider unworthy of, this insti
tution. In the '' meantime A
big turkey and stocking to all
good boys. .

Julian Starr and Bobbins Fow
ler extend .the season's greetings
to the Student Council.
Entering the realm of publi
cations, we humbly propose: a
new set of reporters for the Tar
Heel, student contributions for
the Magazine, and a censor (or
a full-size can of. Dutch Cleans
er) for the Buccaneer.
Lest the individuals be forgot
ten in the presentation of gifts,
we recommend the following as
ideal presents : the support of
the student body to Sid Chap
pell ; a curb on hiswild hilarity
to Jeff Fordham; a perpetual
"smile" to Lawrence Watt which
may enable him to avoid any em
barrassing happenings; a one
way ticket to- Greensboro for
Walter Crissman ; a place among
the rising young intelligentzia
for John Anderson; more ad
vertising for Fred Simon;. Wal
ter Camp's position as Inter
national Athletic Authority to
be fought over by Brown Shep
herd, Luther Byrd, Mutt Evans,
and "freshman Glenn Holder;
ATTENTION for all co-eds in
general ; for Katherine Johnson,
some quiet ; and shady glenn
wherein to pursue her poetic and
romantic bent. .
If we may not seem too pre
sumptuous, we even offer a few
suggestions as to gifts for cer
tain popular faculty men: to
Dean Hibbard, a quart of oil for
his Literary Lantern; to Dean
Bradshaw, opportunity for mak
ing unlimited surveys, including
one on "What per cent of fresh
men brush their teeth and wash
their ears once a week?"; to J.
A. Warren, four added inches
to the cuffs of his trousers; to
Frank Graham, more and longer
books for his history students
to read.
" We might also suggest a rail
road and mail service for Chap
el Hill. ' ;
However, ingenious and imag
inative though we may be, we
cannot think of appropriate gifts
for' everyone, c. The logical re
course, then, is to delve into the
many letters written to Santa
Claus from our campus. For
at this time of the year the mail
boxes , are crammed and. the
chimneys are stuffed with ap
peals to old Saint Nick, with
assertions of "What a good boy
I have been," and with prom
ises galore of better conduct in
the future. ; Having searched
all available chimneys and rifled
every mail box, we (reportorial
we) have discovered the follow
ing pleas to Santa Claus :
Walter Kelly asks for the gov
ernorship of North Carolina;
John Orr Allison wants a chance
to bump Phi Beta Kappa; Joe
Bobbitt, although realizing that
he has been an extremely good
boy, only wants to be president
of Phi Beta Kappa, president
of the University (and captain
of the football team) .
Byron White a-sks for ample
opportunity to exhibit his com
prehensive knowledge of the dic
tionary and his unlimited vocab
ulary; and having lost his recent
match at Durham he wants a
course in Earle E. Leiderman's
hew wrestling tactics; he also
would like a last year's Yackety-
HOUSE Wanted to rent
from January to June. Prefer
ably 6 rooms. Convenient to

Candor compels the confession
that certain well-known campus
characters have denied outright
the very existence of Santa
Claus.' It is still uncertain

Returning to actual or imag

to Santa, President Chase asks
for more and greater appropri
ations; the University of North
Carolina wants more faculty,
more students, more money, a
new library, a college of liberal
arts, and greater recognition;
"Carolina" wants more athletics,
a bigger stadium, better football
teams, faster track teams, finer
basketball teams, and a greater
subordination of studies to ath
letics. The freshmen want all the
recognition and praise that they
think they deserve; the student
body wants strength, endurance,
and knowledge enough to pass
the coming exams. And last of
all, dear readers, this reporter
asks for police protection, with
Chief Featherstone as a person

take offense at this bit of holi

MATT MOORE FOUND HE WAS
ONLY REAL BACHELOR IN CAST
While on location, Matt Moore dis
covered he was the only real bachelor
among the "Summer Bachelors" in
the picture of that name directed by
Allan Dwan for Fox Films and com?
ing to the Pickwick Theatre for Mon
day. The picture is based on the
sensationally successful novel by War
ner Fabian, author of "Flaming
Youth." ' -
In real life Mr. Moore leads a se
date bachelor existence. While in
New York he lived with Mr. Dwan,
also a bachelor, at the latter's home
in Rye. '
, In "Summer Bachelors," Mr. Moore
portrays an absent-minded professor
of .psychology. He's a bit sheepish
when it comes to courting the beau
teous maidens in the cast. With his
wife in the country, however, he is
finally led into the gay life of the
summer bachelors. The part gives
Mr. Moore ample opportunity to dis
play his histrionic talent. In addi
tion to the comedy scenes, he has a
number of very effective dramatic
scenes.
The men of the . Methodisl
church will meet in the' dininj
room of the church next Mon
day at 6:00 p. m. , ;
