v Saturday, October 27, 1923 THE TAR HE EX Pasre Threa Dynamite Senate Galled Into Extra Meeting Due to Pressing Needs for Faculty Cheerios Members Write Own Songs and Cheers and Lay Down Special Platform. ' By ITSELF At the request of President Chase and Mrs. Stacy, the Dinamite Senate hastily called a meeting last night in the lobby of the Carolina Theatre while fighting for tickets of admis sion to the midnight show. The oc casion for the meeting was discussion of the plausibility of the immediate formation of a Faculty Cheering Sec tion. ' ' In view of the importance of the question, as shown by the7 discussion in the columns of the Thursday's is sue of the Tar Heel, it was decided "to have the faculty sit on the rear of the Freshman Body. The Faculty is to be organized as a special emer gency, cheering section, carefully seg regated from their respective wives. -A huge turnout of the. new Cheerio unit is confidently expected. It was hoped to have the faculty dressed in the uniform suggested by John M. Booker in his recent letter, but a careful check-up revealed the fact that only fifteen per cent of the faculty own their own robes, including bath-robes. Hence the Senate sug gested that the Faculty accept the offer of assistance wired m by Super intendent Pou of the State Prison. Balls, chains, and lockstepswere gratefully declined, the new Cheerios being already plentifully supplied. Archibald Henderson will not be a mong those present due to his inor dinate desire to do his own private cheering. . The cheer is suggested by the Dina miters runs as follows: "We are boys of the Faculty, We're as busy as busy can be, But for dear old Carolina We'd. lay us down and dee! Aggregation ! Aggregation ! Aggrega Aggregation! " ; Aggregation! . ;. Aggregation! The following platform was unani mously adopted with "Ignorance" Bliss dissenting but he doesn't count, since he held up his left hand: 1. John M.3Booker to be appointed by himself Drum Major of the Band. 2. The Senate goes on record with huzzas and hosannas for a neater, sweeter comic on a cleaner, greener campus. ' 3. The Senate votes to continue its old policy of bigger Y.M.C.A. pledges and fewer payments. 1 4. The Senate decides to increase its social standing for the current year by extending a blanket invita tion to 'the Chi Psis to attend the an nual Senate Codfish Ball, in return for the courtesies extended by them, and in hopes of being able to give them more milk and less tea, thus wiping out the discomfort suffered by them when the Senate bumped them on three men. 5. The Senate investigated the preparation done by "History" Bran don for his proposed course in infan try and is pleased to report that dur ing the summer he attended six baby clinics. 6. The Senate approves the policy of the .Carolina Theatre in following "Our Dancing Daughters" with "Street Angel" also in extending free passes to all members of the Senate, the motto of; whose members has .become "Every day a birthday." "Wreck-'em" Crew objected to the motto on the grounds that every fourth child born into the world is a Chinaman. ins ODjecuuu was un ruled on the grounds that this means free laundry. Knives, guns, pop-bottles, and sand bags were produced during the im peachment of "Pointless" Spearmfen (tea-time toper).' The members re viled him, each other, and themselves in the most brotherly and random manner. Casualties were, however, conveniently suspended, pending the return of Dr. Abernethy. "Fertilized" Fields supported Spearman on the grounds that he was a nice boy, but this argument was met by the col lective retort of the rest of the mem bers that this precluded all possibil ity of his ever being a good Dynamo. He was finally and formally ejected because of the unbearable inanity of his editorials. Sixteen balls were donated free gratis for nothing (pun intended) to the well-known Chinaman "Prong Long" Hudgins. His chances for the Rhodes Scholarship were thereby ruin ed. The following men 'were elected to membership, were duly sworn in . and each signed notes for $500.00 as a contribution to the new house fund: "One-Ha)f " Galland, "Pecker" Wood, "Lewd" , Steward, "Fertilized" Fields, and "How-Many" Slade. "Ignorance" Bliss was pledged and at once put on probation pending more advanced aca demic standing. Old members pres "eTit, active and accounted for were: "Couldn't" Holder, "Grist" Milne, "In- PLANS UNDERWAY TO UNIFORM THE UNIVERSITY BAND Free-Will Offering Boxes to Be Placed at Various Places on Campus. (By Donald Wood) During the past jfew weeks there has been a great deal of , agitation among the student body and the faculty for the proper uniforming of the band. The University; though financially unable to contribute to the cause in a material way has given its official sanction to the project through the officials, and it remains for the student body to come forth with small contributions in order to make the proposed plan a success. No student will be expected to donate more than a dollar to this cause, but if every student contributes this amount the uniforms for the university band can be bought immediately. The University band has progressed rapidly during the past few years, and now since it has become, a real credit to the institution, and its ser vices are being in demand away from the Hill as well as on the Hill, it is nothing more than right that the stu dent body should see that it is properly uniformed at all its public appearan ces. The style of ; the uniforms has not been selected yet although many firms are bidding for the contract, but it is assured that the uniforms will be attractive and snappy in ap pearance. They are calculated by the makers to' stand five or more years of hard usage. , The individual members of the band will contribute more than anyone else to the buying' of these uniforms. The contributions of the student body will serve to make the students feel more than an impersonal interest in the band, and thus, according to music department officials, a firmer , and more loyal school spirit will be built up. Putting the University of North Carolina on a comparative level with other prominent institutions it rates very low in the attention which it pays to itsmusical organizations. It is up to the student body to refute this statement by the contributing of their proportionate amounts. Grid Dust from the Grid Pan This afternoon the Heels hit their hardest assignment of the season. Tech has long been noted for its foot ball teams, and it seems that this year they have one of the best in the south if not in the nation. Their 13-0 victory over Notre Dame eleven is just about as good as any defeat the Irishmen have been' handed this sea son. The Techmen started off like -a small whirlwind against V. M. I., but they gathered momentum all the time and today they are going full tilt. It will take a mighty good team to stop them. Last year the Carolina team wasn't up to the general run of Tar Heel teams, but they went down to Atlanta Inowingfuli well that they were doped to lose by, a big margin. They sur prised everyone by marching down the field against the Southern Cham pions four times, only to be repulsed in the shadow of the goal posts. Throughout the entire game last fair the Heels were constantly threatening the Yellow Jackets and except for one march down the field the Heels completely ran things over the Jackets. The second touchdown scored by , the . Tornado eleven came late in the game .when a Tech half back took the ball and raced through the line and on down the field for seventy odd yards .for a touchdown. Coach Collins has a better team this year, but ' that doesn'tmean that the Heels will beat the Techmen or come any where near doing that trick. It merely means that the twenty-five thousand people who journey over here-today are going to see a football game that' will be worth every cent they spend. The game should offer more thrills than any other game" to be played in North Carolina this year. Straight football doesn't thrill the spectators. It's wide open stuff, passes, long runs, spectacular plays that send the onlookers into spasms of de)ight and cause them to hug the next person to them. Such will be the condition this afternoon when the refree blows his whistle at 2:30 for the opening kick-off. There is just as likely to be a touchdown scored from the kick off as there is to be a ten yard run. Coach Bill Alexander has plenty of good running backs and so has Coach Col lins. Take the five outstanding men on the .Tech squad: Mizell, Durant, Thpmason, Randolph, and' Lumpkin. GIBBERING DRUNKS, GOOD-SIZED CROWD, AND GORGEOUS GIRLS GIVE V. P. I. GAME USUAL ATMOSPHERE . ... . By Joe Jones Saturday's turnout was a typical football day crowdnothing more, no thing less. In size it was average, filling the middle sections of the sta dium unpretentiously. It. took its thrills during the quarters not over wildly, and its liquor between halves matter-of-f actly. All in all, it was a good crowd, a splendid game, and an excellent safternoon. For Carolina the score was a bit awry, but it was a perfect night, and the girls up for the game were a fine looking bunch. Directly before the game the great driveway leading from Pittsboro Street up to the north side of the sta dium took on the appearance of some thronged military road leading back from the front. Ascending in. a broad curve between its high clay banks and pine trees, with yellow dust rising in clouds, an endless caravan of cars streaming, up the hill, thousands of hurrying pedestrians, gf oups of ca dets, the road was a spectcle. The scene was re-enacted after the game, and on past nightfall the line of headlights crept out, of the road and into the turnpike. On several oc casions traffic cops had to do some dire threatenings, and at least three arrests were made. As usual, the crowd had its headstrong fools. At the stadium there was the in evitable quota of shameless drunks, sodden-faced and glibbering like idiots. One created a sensation by falling down the steps. Two others got in a fight, which,, in its harmless imbecility resembled a Punch-and Judy show. The crowd must have its little diversions. The cheering on both sides was good The Cheerios more than upheld their remarkable cheering reputation, and from all sides came remarks on" the continued pep and. alertness of the justice" Brandis, "Demijohn" -Marshall, "Wreckem" Crew, and our own dear "Passion-Flower" Kartus. ; Hon orable mention, "Spider" Webb, "Backyard" Gardner. . i ,- .. All names changeable: without no tice. When in doubt, punt. ; ; They can do almost anything a coach asks of a good player. Take Ward, Mans, Nash, Wyrick and Erikson, any of those may take the, ball and slide through for a long run. Not that the other Carolina backs can't ; do the same tricks, for I have seen Whisnant take the ball eighty yards down the field for a touchdown after receiving a punt. Likewise I have seen Spauld ing pull long run after long run. Ed Foard played . a great game against V. M. I. two years ago." Almost any of those backs might break loose. We are expecting to see some long runs this afternoon, and, we certainly ex pect to see somebody bring . every spectator in the stands to their feet either in ecstacy or in dismay." What ever the outcome of the game, a good game is in store for those who come over this afternoon; x Many Old Gads Reune Here Today (Continued from page one) brother John.

Send the TAR HEEL home. - At, the Carolina The sort of a girl men don't forget is portrayed by Sue Carol in -"Captain Swagger," the new Rod La Rocque picture which will be shown at the Carolina today. Sue has the feminine lead opposite La Rocque, and plays a cabaret en tertainer who is finding the hurdles to fame hard to take. However, when she and Rod decide to pool their f ortunes, and team together in one of the zippiest Russian dance acts of the season, the silver lining shines through the clouds. Recognized as one of the prettiest girls in America, Sue . displays a charming personality as well. As the cabaret entertainer of "Captain Swagger," she is the cute, spirited kind of a girl men love and women admire. : In the earlier . sequences of this story, the popular Rod is seen to ex cellent advantages as an expert in tailspins and nose dives, who does his part to make the world safe for Democracy as a flyer with the La fayette Escadrille. He believes air planes will be common as automobiles in the near future. So interesting did Rod find his ex cursions into the air during the mak ing, of the , picture that he has con tinued practice since that time. He purposes to purchases '' a plane as soon as his picture . contracts give him time to indulge in this sport to a greater extent.

The boys from Duke fairly swarmed over the fences during the former game, but last Saturday they were somewhat dismayed by a well-placed cordon of guards and by conspicious notices of twenty-five dol- lar fines for anybody, caught in the act. A few, however, slipped in re gardless. A truck parked next to the fence back of the field house fur nished one loophole.

The guests will be occupants of Dormitory G. ; The practice of having dormitory and fraternity groups as guests throughout the season was begun, last year. More than 5,000 passes were issued in carrying out the plan. This evening's party will be one of the best of the year, coming as it does on the night of the big game, when the town and campus will be in an unusually festive spirit. The men in G dormitory are re quested by Manager Smith to be on' hand at the theatre promptly at 9 o'clock, accompanied by the dormitory ' president.
