SOMEBODY'S MAD
To the Editor: , .
In one of the last issues of the Tar
Heel I read where you wanted some
one to feel angry about something
that he might give, vent to his griev
ances in the printed columns of the
Heel, and thereby made things hum a
bit, and cause the paper to sizzle with
controversy. I viewed this challenge
with a 'sweet smile of complacency,
for I thought that "peace and good
will to man" was something extremely
helpful to the digestive organs, and
you know I suffer often from indi
gestion; but alas! what befell medhe
i other day so completely overturned
my whole, system that I know contro
versy , can't hurt me farther, there
fore I gleefully picked up my pen to
write this article. -'
' Well, sir, 1 was preparing to go off
on-a week-end pleasure tourone of
those "Hey-ho" parties which we stu
dents have always found to be so very
essential to counteract the effects of
a long week's mental derangement
est game there was a mass meeting
of the' entire student body, with ex
cellent results in the way of cheering.
Before the V. P. I. game onlv the'
Freshmen were called together. ;i At
he game requests for yells were made,
as a rule, only to the Freshmen sec
tion. These requests were evidently
of a secret nature as thev were not
oud enough to reach the rest of the
student body. t Consequently, we did
not cheer. The- Freshman cheerinsr
ranged from jtnediocrity downwards.
An attempt was made to whisper the
Yackety Yack yell, to whom has not
been determined.
I feel sure the upperclassmen are
as ready to use their lungs as they
were last year, if they are only given
the opportunity. What about it, Bill?

PARAGE APHICS
REVERSION TO TYPE
A precedent has been set this year
in drafting the entire freshman class
into the section known as the "Caro
lina Cheerios' The duty of this
group is to attend the football games
in as body. Furthermore, they are re
quired to appear clothed in white
duck "trousers and blue coats and to
present at the gate of the stadium
cards which entitle them admission.
A notice has been given to the effect
that no freshman will be allowed en
trance to football games unless he is
garbed in the costume prescribed for
the 'occasion. While in the clustered
group, the Cheerios follow the direc-
tions of the cheer-leaders. Between
halves of the game the aggregation
gives entertainments and performs
well-executed stunts "for the amuse
ment of the spectators.
The Cheerios - add a prodigious
amount of wholehearted fun to the
occasion. :
But there seems to be one salient
r objection to the newly-adopted system!
The freshman is not asked to join the
organization, nor is he requested to
unite with ithe is compelled, in order
to- attend game, to become a
Cheerio. In addition, he is forced to
buy white duck trousers and a blue
coat to secure admission to the game.
The University of North Carolina
has been recognized as one of the
first institutions in the country to re
bel against hazing. And we have
prided ourselves on the absence of any
form of the "rat-system" at Carolina.
Does not this dictation to the freshman
class seem a reversion to the old-time
hazing? It is true that the first-year
class was allowed" the privilege of
voting on the matter. But will not
any measure pass a group of new and
unexperienced enthusiasts? Is it quite
fair to force a student to buy clothes
in order to attend a football game?
Is it fair to compel a single man to
join an organization to which he does
not ehoose to belong? Is coercion the
proper method to deal with a man
who knows absolutely nothing of the
situation? The method being used at
the present seems to resemble closely
' a legalized form of hazing, or 'may it
be called a forced patriotism? We
only ask should this be "done? Is it
fair to the student? Shall we, after
all, . revert again to the rat-system
which we have taken such pains "to
abolish. , . ' " v

shoes polished to perfection; socks in

maculately pressed; .tie oh, boy,
that glad symphony of colors was
plastic "picture of a, revolution and
riot merged into -one; chin neatly
shaved; and my head displayed the
master art of our barbers. I was
making ready! Impatiently I waited
for the laundry to arrive; every thud
in the hall I imagined to be that of
my.' package being flung against my
door. In my mind I rehearsed the
act of picking from the fragrant folds
of linen, my champion shirt the new
darling of my heart which was to be
the last link in my "week-end pleas
ure hunt apparel. ' The whir of i
droning, motor outside, the. thud o
falling packages in the hall, the
crinkle of crisp wrapping paper, three
heavy wallops on the door, and my
baby had. arrived. In my happiness
I did- the unheard of courtesy of
bringing in my two room-mates' pack
ages. Ahl with what anticipated joy
I tore off the strings, flung off the
paper there, sure enough ; lay my
spotless linen, all aglow with spick
and-spanniness.
"Damn good laundry, by Gee,"
thought I, "come to me Tiara (name
of my favorite shirt) I's been wait
ing for you."
And I picked her up. , Out with the
tissue binding, out with the paste
board, and Tiara unfurled her majes
ty of colors to the atmosphere.
"You and I are going places and
seeing double things tonight honey,"
said I as I strode across the room
fondly fingering, my pet :and now,
oh kind sir hold. me up! Hold me up
for I'm falling down! In bad time
did. my fingers detect a Brutus-like
slash which had been dealt my Tiara
my only Tiara had. been dealt to
my Tiara along the back. With dis
may I viewed the mortal cut; a rip
fully a foot long from the top of the
shoulder seam right , along the lef
hand edge of the back! Sorrowfully
I laid her low and turned to the pack
age again. "Guess Alasions (my
speckled blue shirt) will accompany
me in my tour." i .
Slowly T picked him up, turned him
over; and on the back by golly
what do you think? .Two damned
slashes! Say, to what are we coming
I threw him down mercilessly, almos
beyond myself with wrath.-I pounced
upon the third in line, Fenola, my im
ported Spanish scream of purple and
yellow; flipped her over. . . . ! By
the blazes, yes; three slashes! Lilly
Pad was the fourth you damned
right, four heroic slashes! And now
I ask you you and the rest of the U.,
what are things coming to? What ex
cuse can a laundry give for tearing
innocent shirts in the prime of their
life ? ,Come on Laundry, where are
you at! Can, you answer me this?
Jf it be that you must play with some
thing, just tell me so and IH ship

two to Cheer-leader Chandler. Why
