"Always room for one more"- is a
cry of traditional triteness which is
now once again resurrected from the
limbo to whieh it should have been
condemned in the long ago. It has
been used to fill' up everything . from
lecture rooms to Ford cars; this time
time it comes out in an effort to make
the columns of -the Tar -Heel more
balanced and more representative of
student opinion.
In fact, howsoever it may have been j -
disguised by tne aoove paragrapn, i reshmen, says an omcial an

The sports . column called "Grid

up more dust and excitement than a

".' DAYS AND DAZE
With -Indian summer . weather
smiling benignantly upon the campus,
there descends an overpowering calm
which, without mentioning such aca
demic rules as the laws of motion, ap

thought and action. If spring were
here it could all be blamed on the in
evitable spring fever; if winter were
upon us, the rigors of cold might as
sume responsibility. But with no fit
"season or person to "lay it to" the
fact remains that there, is present
here on our campus a prevailing ten
dency to "just sii;." '
The very squirrels in the oaks drop
their acorns on our heads with less
hubbub than usual, showing that they,
too, have come under some spell. In

otherwise, rarely are known to return
books as soon as they have made Use
of them. The result has been anguish
for students, and at Rochester their
complaints have been fruitful. Such
a move on the part of the faculty here
would be much appreciated by the stu

can rightfully claim that he is the

the only member of it.
