Thursday, Decmber 1, 1927 THE TAR HEEL Page Three CELLAR SEEP1NGS By Andy Anderson" Seeing as how everybody has made varied and nonsensical remarks about Thanksgiving all we can say ishat we're thankful that it's over. All we have as a souvenir of the holidays "nra. few memories and a headache. v At present it seems as if the head ache is going to stay longer than the memories. Old Boys' Pranks Queerer Than Those Pulled Now CAROLINA ON SCREEN And coupled with all this, there were so many pretty and tropical girls up for the dances. And thereby hangs the tale. We noticed quite a few of the Play makers roving over the campus dur ing the week-end. Evidently, they gathering material for their forth coming production. One gentleman seemed to have gath ered about all the local color that he needed. But the dramatic organization cer tainly did themselves brown on their Northern trip. This will probably eliminate any one from browning them on the campus. Garter snakes and cradle snatchers should have a big time Saturday. We hear that Greensboro and Wilming ton high schools have some pretty hot sports in attendance. Addresses and names are for sale by the columnist at one buck apiece. Additional information will be giv en for cash. No more than one University or ganization gets in from a trip than another goes out. The Playmakers are back ancTthe glee club has hiked off. This ought to be called the Float ing University. The editor of this sheet says "speak up or forever hold your peace." Well, now, that's asking too much of some people. , And speaking of clubs on the cam pus, there ought to be an organiza tion of some kind for columnists. But we hope this does not come to pass for if it did, The Spearman would certainly 'get himself some khuTof a managing editor's job. And now that real football and tag football is over, the professors will probably start their little games of matching themselves to see, who they are going to pass. From the news in thispaper, it looks as if there might be another civil war. (Continued from first page) at night at a very late hqur and take bee-hiyes from the inhabitants of the village and the country around. They have found safety, in the caution they practice.' "II, B. was expelled for insolence to the President while suppressing a disturbance, firing pistols in the build ings and breaking a window glass over the head of Tutor Clopton while j holding a recitation. R. S. was ex pelled for firing pistols and for throw ing stones at the faculty.' J. R. re ceived a forced vacation of six months for firing a pistol in college and help ing block up the Chapel door. "Other entries are: A calf was placed in the Chapel and the benches pushed up against the pulpit. A fence was built around the door of one Nut ting and across the road. Major Hen derson was stoned, one of his build ings overturned, his gate taken from its hinges and placed upon the pulpit. "One, Sunday night a bee-hive was stolen from John Taylor, carried to the Preparatory School-house, the honey taken out and daubed on the floor. The hive was left in the woods. "A Monsieur Molie awoke one morn ing to firld a great number of toad frogs and terrapins in his room and on oing to bed the ' following night, there was a bee-hive in his room and a great quantity of hair in his bed." "One boy was called up for handing in seveif written excuses for only, four absences. On being informed-of the fact, he said, 'All right, sir, just let the other three go on the absences for next week.' N "At one time there was a doctor on the , campus by the name of Dia bolus. He was called Bolus, for short, by the students. The doctor got wind of a project to steal his turkeys which he-was fattening ifor some festival Hiding: near the coop, he heard one fowl searcher stealthily creep there in and seizing the gobbler remark to his confederates. 'Here, boys,' is old Bolus.' Then grabbing a hen, 'And here is Mrs. Bolus.' The Doctor then rushed forward so rapidly that in order to escape, the turkeys were dropped. He had them killed next day and invited the marauders and others to . the' dining at which they were served. After carving he looked sig nificantly at the ringleader and asked, Mr. , will you have a slice of old . Bolus, or. do you prefer a slice of Mrs. Bolus.' He then gave the same option to the other delinquents suc cessively." Pictures of the Carolina-Virginia game and the dedication of Kenan Memorial Stadium on Thanksgiving day were taken by both Pathe and Paramount News. These pictures will be sent all over the United States in this week's releases of these two news reels. , They were both shown in Chapel Hill at the Carolina Theatre Monday and, Tuesday, and at the saTne time they were shown all over North Car olina, at the various theatres. They will later reach other theatres which receive these services. The views taken show good scenes of the entire stadium and the teams in action. ,Mr. Kenan, donor of the stadium, and Governor's McLean and Byrd of North Carolina and Virginia are also given prominent places. Interest in High School Game We suspect that someone has gra tuitously insulted someone. But there's been so long since any carols of peace, we suggest that some co-ed sing out lustily. And then if she did, Keith would probably book her for about 50 weeks giving lectures about "There Ain't Gonna Be any War Anymore,, Just Let Us Sing About Peace." And we were astonished the other day when someone . told us " that Greensboro was to play Wilmington High a game of football. We thought that athletes had stopped" drinking. J. M." State may run over Hill when the big track meet comes off this week but you can bet that counterfeit ten cent piece -that they won't run over Dale. In Hollywood quite a few things run to extremes. Yes, and a lot of things run to extremities. The Kalif has exonerated himself. The only thing left now is for the re viewer to apologize to somebody. Since it's nearing exams, we no tice that a few of the boys are not using the abbreviation for Christmas They don't like that X in the word. And for a lot of students exams are Xams. At mid-terms an X means no check but a check certain meant an "X." George Eastman s backing the Cotsworth calendar of 13 months of 28 days each ; but there are a lot of people who find it hard enough to make even 12 payments. American "MOON OF ISRAEL" "Moon of Israel," one of the might iest pictures, in motion picture his tory, will be shown at the Carolina Theatre Monday. The film has some of the most tre mendous scenes that have ' ever been screened and the sets alone cost more than half a million dollars. All the tricks of camera and lighting, to gether with more than thirty thou sand extras, a thousand metal cha riots, and almost three thousand horsemen, make the film a thrilling spectacle, and one that will linger in the minds of audiences for a long while. The film is taken from the famous novel by Sir H. Rider Haggard and was directed by Michael Curtiz under the supervision of the author. The novel is one "of . the best known of Sir Rider Haggard's works and the picture more than does justice to the story. The theme of the picture is the romance between an Israelite slave girl and the Prince of Egypt. A romance that begins beneath the burning suns of the Egyptian desert and carries the little slave girl to the throne of the greatest kingdom in the world. , The cast includes Maria Corda, Arlette Marchal, Adelqui Millar, Ferdinand Onna and Henry Mar. The story was adapted for the, screen by Ladislaus Vaj da, the great Hun garian playwright, and the titles are by the author himself.

There are now 309 member schools of the association. The Roxboro high school, which became a "member today, is the 309th member school.

A denomination al examination shows that 6 students are Baptist 3 Presbyterian; 3 Chris tian, 13 Methodist, and 4 Episcopa lian. Inquiry into the parental vocations of these students indicates that the fathers of the men and women are farmers, ministers, business men, realtors, engineers, textile workers, contractors, lawyers, janitors, book keepers, and physicians. The stu dents themselves in noting their preferences for vocations gave the following choices: law, ministry, medicine, business, teaching, social service, and journalism. Karpen Furniture Week . .

MATINEE AND NIGHT onders of the "HE Seven Wonders of the Ancient JL World were single monuments, glorifying one individual or at most a small group of people. Masterpieces of their kind, they yet had no influence on the life of the race which created them, and they benefited nobody. There lies the difference between" the old and the new civilization. The Seven Wonders of the Modern World are the inventions which have been of the greatest benefit to the greatest number of people. What are they Although lists would dif fer radically, one item would be common to all. The Otis Elevator would surely be included as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern Wdrld on all lists whether em anating from Greece, Egypt or Turkeys Limain PerUjShahghai in China or Holly wood, California. It is an international convenience, dedicated not to one person or even to one race, but to the comfort of any people whose buildings aspire towards the sky. .. , -, ; -' '- "...-". . i . ' : .
