Tuesday, October 2, 1928 With fraternity rushing season rushing along ; to its inevitable con clusion, there approaches the annual period when the old, familiar, and despicable game of throat cutting will be practiced. Each year as the last day draws near and the end of the season is at hand, there comes to some fraternities the saddening realization that Pledge Day will bring more dis appointment than; pledges across the portials of their houses. And too often with the knowledge that what they have to offer is not enough comes along the decision to low-rate what everyone else has .to offer, when a fraternity commences to forsake the narration of its own per sonal virtues and substitutes the tale of vices of its rival, then the, gentle art of throat cutting makes its apr pearance. No self-respecting and respectable fraternity tries to pledge its men by running down all other fraternities on the campus. Any fra ternal group with merits worthy of a freshman's attention does not find it necessary to cut its rival's throat. And any group which does deem such tactics necessary is not worthy of the most insignificant freshman. "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes" wrote the Latin poet Virgil "I fear the Greeks even bearing gifts." But let the freshman rushees entertain an even greater fear for those . Greeks who offer as gifts only slighting re marks concerning -their rivals. We bet most of the spectators at Saturday's game were Scotch. We are glad that it rained Satur day night; it affords us an oppor tunity to say that the campus was "all wet" after the Wake Forest game. -:,fr - And if it had not rained, someone might have impugned us for our observation.

With this new plan of having the freshmen gym classes going out for track events once a week,. there ought to be some good material discovered for future varsity teams. A Durham newspaper ; suggested that Al Smith speak in the Kenan " Stadium here rather - than in the 'small Raleigh Auditorium in order to accommodate the huge crowds. That is one attraction other than football which would fill up the stadium'; Mrs. Gerard offers a prize of 1,000 for the best paper on "Why Al Smith Should be Elected President." If all the political talk that comes up in one daily bull session could be boiled down into an essay it might be worth $1,000 just to clear the atmosphere as it were! UNDRESS PARADE Memorial Hall packed with stu dents enthusiastically yelling and singing prior to an important foot ball game' is an ispiring sight and sound. A huge -- bonfire, with its flames rearing dramatically and colorfully skyward, leaves behind it a memorable picture. Even a parade of zealous students across the campus to the steps of the Post Office may be taken only as' a favorable indica tion of an active interest in the ap proaching athletic contest. But when the participants in this parade, presumably most of them f resmen, consider it necessary to form a shirt-tail brigade and to roll trousers up above knees in order to vevince their ; uncontrollable enthu siasm why,; then it all becomes very much less than a . commendable dis play of Carolina spirit and very much more like some prep school tomfoolery Naturally there are no rules against such things. Nor is it likely that anything would even be said about it But the fact remains , that such chil dishness is hardly in line with the ' sentiment -of a university. Objection -is not raised particularly in defense of any code of ediquette or decorum. That is notr essential. But what we do object to and object a bit stre nousiy is such a juvenile manner of conduct on the part of University stu dents. ' '; We ride ourselves on being a Uni versity of men-in . contrast to many institutions which are obviously only The fact that the editorial "we" of a college newspaper usually consists, in realty, of a single person is no legitimate reason for confining editorial expression to the opinions of one man. Realizing the necessity of a fresh stream of thought pouring into these editorial columns and at the same time the efficacy of giving the staff members of the , Tar Heel an opportunity of venting their pent up opinions on campus topics, we have decided to open these columns to the reporters from time to time. : . ' " The first of these contributions ap pears in today's Tar Heel under the title "Don't Blame the Prof". The initials "J.

DON'T BLAME- THE PROF Headline in Saturday's Tar Heel: "ASHEMORE SEEKS IVORY FOR TEAM;' :, - Well, we wi.th him luck and hope he catches enough elephants to supply the whole squad. . class. At the meeting Friday there were more than fifty present and of these over forty were ex-Hi i men. In the talk Mr. House said that one comes, to the University to develope himself along three lines: the spiritual the physical, and, the intellectual, but chiefly in the intellectual. In view of this one should consider the serious side of the University life as well as the social and enjoyable. However, he did not advise those present to be come bookworms, for that would limit the development to one side. "Don't let anything cheat you out of your birthright in mental training,' he urged. There are at the Univer. sity men ;; who are leaders in their lines of york and to let anything keep one from knowing these men and working with them is to let those things cheat him out of a part of his birthright, said Mr. House, started off in the right way. After the election of officers which followed Mr., House's talk, the meet ing adjourned to meet again next Monday night at the "Y" at 7 o'clock. Whnt's Happenix! o ; TODAY 4:30 p. m. Spencer Hall.

Richard Hovey wrote very lovely poetry, and went many happy journeys with Bliss Car man, and no doubt stored , up much wisdom; but a fool in his heart can see the falsity of Hovey's philosophy: "In the hand that life is dealing, it is not we nor the ways we choose, but the fall of the cards that's sealing." That sounds like the words of a man who ha3 failed and wants to blame God for it. - You may go astray, but none, nei ther man nor woman, can lead you astray, even if you had a ring in your nose. There is no ring in your mind. We pray, "Lord, lead us not into tem ptation", not "Lord, lead us not as tray." : There may be a warping of the mind, but there is no such thing as coercion of the mind.
