students had to know something be

Perhaps. . But let us count our
blessings of today. We have one of
the most representative and uniform
ly strong faculties of -any lnviersity
in the country. We can, if please,
go about uncensured , in comfortable
shirts open '-at the neck. Our fliv-.
vers are a. convenience and a pleas
ure, and are within the means of
mos$ students in the least ambitious.
Durham, is within easy reach by
means of a fast and comfortable bus
service, or the more humble method
of .bumming, and pur first morning
classes meet at 8:30 instead of 8
o'clock. The football team is not to
be sneezed at by rivals of our s&e,
our academic standing is second to
none, and Franklin street is a veri
table Great White Way, offering
most of the conveniences of any city,
to mention just a few things.

FIGHTS r
Not so very long ago the Tar Heel
columns on this editorial page were
filled with complaints, accusations,
and counter-accusations, to say noth
ing of just plain fights. It all made
interesting reading, and was amus
ing if not important.
There is a noticeable lack of such
material this year. Nobody seems to
be very much excited against or
about anything. The Buccaneer has
not been out long enough for anyone
to attack it. Fraternities have not
come in for their usual razzing, and
it is much too early to write indig
nant letters about Golden Fleece. Po
litics and their alleged U rottenness
won't come in for, the usual share of
attention until the Spring. And the
co-ed question is being taken up by
the debaters. , '
As far as the Tar Heel is concern
ed, all is quiet along the' Potomac. It
is very" peaceful and very nice, but
still, a good fight adds zest to life.
Here's hoping somebody will r get mad
about something soon. ,

THESE GOOD NEW DAYS
The University- Band, says a
spokesman for that organization!
needs new Uniforms The Tar "Htel
agrees, and hereby does its bit in
support of the idea. You have heard
the gentlemen practising, and per
haps you have seen them at the
games. The music sounds fine, of
just about, like a band is supposed to
sound.- But that is only . . half the
Story. . ' :,- '.. : '
Mention the word "Band" to al
most anyone, and; immediately a pic
ture is formed - in the mind's eyel
Flashing instruments puffing lips, a
shiny bats -twirling in -the' : hand '.of
the splendidly shakoed leaderand
bright uniforms'. By all means,
bright Uniforms ! ' Nobody ever
heard of . a' teal band without them.'
The Tar Heel is in favor, of a scarlet
and white. Let the coat and trous
ers be trimmed with scarlet, and add
.to .them a snappy light blue and
white bearskin for the .head.
If; this is- too. much,, then let .the
band be dressed as they choose But
let them be dressed, for the idea of
a. band in subdued, .quiet colors is not
to be considered. Must all our child
hood ideas be shattered? , H. J. G.
And if you don't think that rushing

There are times when we are seized
by fits of what might be called nos
talgia but is generally called riuttiness
by unsympathetic acquaintances, and
at suchf times we either wonder why
we are in college, or bust right out
into poetry. But donrt get scared,
We won't do the latter
We are however, g&ing to call
your attention to the following, which
was "written by a prominent Cornell
alumnus in answer to a request for
a contribution to an Alumni Fund:
: --.V:- 1 ::":r
"My friends speak of a -heritage I
have gotten from Cornell University.
The only legacy I am certain I re
ceived from that ; institution of learn
ing was the licker habiti It took me
years to get over it. And, quite
frankly, I could have acquired the
same habit in two years , at Harvard,
while, it toakime four at Cornell. . ."
The Bull's Head Bookshop i3 put
ting on a bargain sale in books. Many
popular jiovels, biographies," and other
volume of general interest are being
offered at 'reduced rates. The ma
jority of them are books that have
been popular during " the past two
years. . "
Quite a few very beautiful color
prints are on display ' in the shop.
There are also a number of wood cuts
by J. J. Lankes.' "Each bears the
autograph of the artist.
FROSH COUNCIL TO MEET
The regular .meetings of the Fresh
man Friendship Council will be in the
front right room on the first floor of
the Y. M. C; A. building every Mon
day night at seven-fifteen, and will
last only forty, minutes. As the pur
pose - of the organization- is to
strengthen bonds of friendship" among
the members of the class of '32 which
the. name implies a representative
attendance is asked. ' r .
RED-HEADS MEET
There will be a special meeting of
the Red Head Club next Monday night,
October 22,at 7:30. r
All ' members are urgetf to be
present as there is some important
business to be attended to and Mr.
Meyer will deliver an address.
.The meeting will be held at the
usual place, the Episcopal Parish
House. , . . -L ,
If you talk with any member of the
faculty who has been in the Univer
sity a good many years, he will in
evitably speak of the dear dead days
which have passed, the days when
"this University wasn't as it is now,
son." A sigh and a tear, and the re
miniscences begin. - .s .
"Those were the days when there
weren't any ' electric , lights, and
Franklin street was pitch dark after
six o'clock and stayed that way. We
stumbled around in the blackness and
had a fine time." . !
Or you may hear of the time when
sixteen ; men composed the faculty,
the students all wore high stiff col
lars, buggies were used for fast
, transportation by the ; more gilded
rich, and Durham was a good long
journey from Chapel - Hill. . We had,
of course, the finest fighting football
DUKE UNIVERSITY'S STRAW
VOTE ' '
(Asheville Times')
One of the most interesting specu
lations concerning one of the most
uncertain poniicai campaigns m
North Carolina history is how the
younger generation will vote, and
especially the college; students. For
several reaspj
election recently held at Duke uni
versity may be a vane to show which
way the political wind, is blowing in
the areas where rule young men and
women. . '
In the Duke poll Mr. Smith re
ceived 519 votes and Mr. Hoover 469.
Now Duke Js. a Methodist institution,
and among the Methodists of the
state there is no little determined op
position to Governor Smith. But
Duke university has in its heritage
the splendid record pf a great fight
won- f or eedoni of mind and" con
science, and this campaign has as one
of its foremost issues the principle of
religious liberty.
In a personal letter to the editor,
a student at Duke writes of this straw
ballot:
The size of Mr. Hoover's vote
is in a great measure due to the
strenuous political activities of a
rather large group of theological
students.
Perhaps too much significance
ought not to be attached to the
above figures, but I cannot help
feeling that; s insofar as they in
dicate the trend of thought of
the younger generation, they are
a hopeful and inspiring sign in
'the midst of the dirtiest, the
. most cowardly and imbecile cam
paign which the American pub
lic has endured - in many years.
; So long as the young people give
their support to Governor Smith
and to men whose political
- thinking is of the same order
there is some hope that we shall
have solhe day in this country a
more civilized, a more generous,
and humane democracy. "
There speaks, unless all the signs
are untrustworthy, the voice of a
great company of the younger men
and women of the nation. That
viewpoint of this country's problems
and of the kind of leadership it needs
may hot in this election prevail. For
it has arrayed against it the impond
erable yet mighty force of political
inertia, the attitude that stands pat
and turns to liberalism only as a last
resort against evils no longer . to be
borne; " " ) '-
According to a story appearing in
Collier's last week the first forward
pass made in football wa3 in the
North-Carolina-Georgia game. - The
pass was made by the Tar Heels.
The gentleman continues with this
choice bit: "And who can get the date
of the Norman invasion or the French
irregular verbs fixed in his mind when
a bare-kneed cutie, all scented up with
Black Narcissus, is sitting just across
the aisle? No one without the sales
resistance of a Galahad!" -
illt isn't quite that bad at Carolina,
but still it must .be remembered that
we haven't even aisles to. separate us
from the wiles -of the fair ones from
Spencer. .. . y '
There won't be any more excuse for
not 'studying, now that rushing, has
ceased. If the one and only comes
down" for the week-end, however, you
won't be expected to do any work-
except by your profs, who', are pretty
unreasonable that way. Just call it
extra-curricular activity and it will
be all right.
There arte two posters we" saw re
cently which impressed us a good bit,
One of them is of the interior ot a
cathedral, and it gives you a fine
sspTise of auiet. Both of them vare
swell, and worth noticing the next
time you are in the Bull's Head (Book
shop.
A slight war broke out in the quad
rangle Wednesday night, when the
He-Tits went out. We are told that
streamers ' were used by the warring
Sophs and Frosh to pelt each other
with. We expect to hear, next that
rosebuds were used in a horrible fra
cas around the Well, at which time
President Hudgins got all wet.
As we said before, nostalgia is up
on us, and you can call it what you
will.
Get out from under!
Roses are blue
Violets are red ---.

All of which doesn't remind us of
the notice on a huge dictionary in the
Reference Room of the Library, which
says "This book not to be taken from
the Library." Nope, not i without a
horse and cart, and you know as well
as we do that horses aren't allowed
in the Library.

There are those on the campus who
have raised considerable ruckus over
the fact that they are 'required to
change their coupons for tickets be
fore football games. We haven't
gotten to the point reached by the
University of Colorado, though., They
require photos to be attached to foot
ball pass books for identification pur
poses. And some of us would hate
to have that.
We close today's bally-hoo with a
pertinent poem by Jacques Le Clercq:
Average Student
Making for better or for worse
This university your universe,
In high, immaculate orthodoxy.
You are leading life by proxy.
What's Happening
An empire hung on that strap
THE hitch must be right, the pack must
be tight. On details such as that hung
the attainment of the day's goal and the final
success of the expedition.
Lewis and Clark, first Americans to cross
the continent, knew the importance of
"trifles" in the concerted plan. They saw to
it their equipment was right, they supervised
every step from man-power to pack-horse-
power, they applied sure knowledge and
constant vigilance to their task.
Today's leaders in business have the same
point of view.
Men in the Bell System, exploring new
country, take infinite pains in preparation.
They work toward the smooth coordination
of engineering, manufacturing, warehousing
'accounting, finance, public service.
