Where Does Interest Lie?
Thursday night Sherwood Andersoij
lectured in Memorial Hall. On that
night "The Desert Song" '. played .in
Durham on a one night stand. Sta
tistics are not yet available as to
how 'many Students trekked to. Dur
ham for their entertainment and how
many merely stepped across the cam
pus to Memorial Hall. We are in
clined to say' that in the matter of
such statistics, which can be taken as
a commentary on, the intelligence and
information of the individual, statis
tics on interests lie. Mr. Anderson,
despite his blasting of a pet idea, was
interesting. So was the show in
Durham- But the remarkable part
of all this is that, contrary to your
expectation we believe thaj Mr. Anderson-drew
a bigger crowd. ;. Which
is a step forward, and a triumph for
the entertainment committee. The
pet idea mentioned is that all repu
table poets and men of' letters wear
flowing, locks, and ditto black ties.
But we forgive Mr. Anderson. We
know an eminent' dramatic critic in
New York, who looks like
manufacturer, and
eminent who seems to belong in a
restaurant shelling out beans in ap
pearance we mean. So you never can
tell. . :

Joe Mitchell's criticism of the Play-
maker production of "The Enemy of
the Eeople" caused a bit of a ruckus
in the Open Forum column. In view
of that, it is interesting to note that
one dramatic critic stated that Wal
ter Hampden's production of that
play, now running in New York', was
put on as a comedy. The more we
consider this, and balance it with the
results of the Playmaker production
the more inclined we are to think
that Hampden was right after all
Surely the production here had tits
humorous aspects,, what with all the
"You don't know what you're talking
about!" stuff flvine around in the
wake of the show. .
, ' Dangerous Curves
A disillusioned senior in Emory
university wrote a letter to the edi
tor of the school paper which we
think is significant. Kit is a word of
warning addressed to freshmen par
ticularly, and those who may need
the advice in general and most of
us " need it. But the letter explains
itself:
"To the Editor:
, Dear Ed:
' Is the joy, the bliss, the thrill of
' a 'tender kiss worth the price of
three hours time, two "cokes," one
pack of "Luckies" and the gargle
of Listerine one must pay? Or is
the lingering ecstacy, of a clinging
embrace a worthy compensation for
the lies, the sleepless night, the
'. efforts and the powdered- coat-
lapel? y
"I am a senior and like all other
- men of the class am certain tha
' a 'diploma shall be mine in June
and the residential chair, a few
years later. I have dated one gir
steadily since my entrance into the
university. And looking at it in
a cold-blooded, '. economical way
was it worth the price ?
- "Mv statistics on the matter
show : - 278 hours lost - on dates
1,649 miles traveled to and -from
them, 17,893. hours of lost sleep.
3,479 "cokes" purchased,' 1 girls
"rushed," 56,837 hairpins recovered
and her brother bailed out of jai
four times.
"On the other side of the sheet
my data shows the receipt of 73
heartrendings, and 18,439 indif
ferent kisses, 19,511 tender em
braces, chronic insomnia and 1 the
loss of a good fraternity pin.
"If my efforts and money ex
pended on the-quest could have
been utilized I could have played
1,378 games of pokerlost 4$7,652,
would have been1 somewhere between
Black Rock and Big Stick, Wyom
ing, with seven more years to my
life and would have bought 27,923

Those Same Frosh
Some time ago we said something
about how the freshmen were work
ing, out on the freshman "football -field
every afternoon with quite a few
scrimmages -with the varsity 'thrown
in. Evidently their work is bringing
results for they "certainly have one
good freshman team out there. In
fact it is one of the best yearling
outfits that has been assembled at
the University in many years. ;
They started out by beating Duke's
Blue "Imps by one touchdown. Then
they took a long trip up to . New
Jersey. Evidently the trip had no
bad effect on them, for they turned
back the Princeton Cubs 7-0. This
bit of work brought them into eastern
lame.- 'Alter scrimmaging tne varsity
for. five weeks, the coaches, Enright
and Belding, sent them against 'the
powerful Maryland frosh. . ; The story
of that game has been told. They
did their stuff and came out one touch
down to the good. This ranks the
Carolina Tar Babies as one of the
most powerful freshman outfits in
the northern portion of the Southern
nference. Whether they would
ranK equally as weu iuriner souui
for the sport authorities usually can't
see any team except those from their
immediate section. ' . "
What should prove to be a very
interesting game . wilK be played Jhere
Saturday.' The freshmen will take
on Virginia's . young Cavaliers. If
comparative x scores mean anything,
the Heelets should win. But we have
an idea that the freshman coaches at
Virginia, one of whom is Joe McCon
neL former - Davidson center- and
Woodberry . Forest coach, will be
priming the Old Dominion yearlings
for the Carolina scran just as
"Greasy" Neale is pointing the varsi
ty for the Tar 'Heel game Thanksgiv
ing. But we say that . the Tar Babies
should win from the young-Virginians
. More about Virginia
... - " v
When we said that Virginia usually
noints for the Carolina game, we
weren't talking through .our hats.
The Old Dominion students measure
the success or failure of their foot
ball seasons by two games. One is
the Washington and Lee contest and
the other is the , Carolina game. Re
regardless of whether they lose every
other game on the schedule, if they
win "those two games, the season is a
success. - "
Just -why this condition exists, is
hard to explain. But it .does. Af
-ter four years in prep -school under
the shadow of the Rotunda, we find
that the WasTiington .and Lee and
Carolina eames are .all important. It
is fortunate that Tar Heels dcrno
measure their season by such stand
ards. Not that ( the Virginia game
is not an important one, but we hate
to see a team point, from the first day
of 'practice for one .game. .
However, as we said," .if Virginia
manages to eke out a victory over the
Heels Thanksgiving. they, will be
thoroughly satisfied. But we can't
see how Virginia would beble to
say that they had a "successful season
this year just because they beat Car
olina and the uenerals from VV. and
L. What about the Maryland V. P,
I., and V. M. I. games? Of course
there is the tie game with Princeton
but ties aren't victories. Anyway
that tie game is somewhat offset by
the fact that the" somewhat battered
and trampled Old Line team ran over
Yale and then along comes Princeton
whom Virginia tied, and runs over
the same team Maryland beat while
Marylalnd is putting c the finishing
touches on the Cavaliers.
All we. are driving at is that the
Virginia coaches are, certainly point
ing their team for the Carolina clash
and if they win how they will 1 .say
what a football, team they had this
year. We .can't see it that way.
Dr. Caldwell, , of the history de
partment, will address . the Debate
Class Thursday night jat 7 : 3(f on "The
Facts of History." He will tell the
class how to derive representative
conclusions from the facts of history.
This is the second of a series - of
three lectures preliminary to work
on the query for the next nter-colle-giate
debate, which will take place
about the middle of February. These
ectures are designed to give the class
a : thorough knowledge of the funda
mentals of t argument. '

One Way To Do It
A student on the campus rides to
his eight-thirties on a bicycle. We
like the idea very much. A nice little
rack can be fixed up on the handle
bars which will hold shaving utensils
and a tray with breakfast, not for
getting clips to hold the morning pa
per. We wouldn't have any excuse
for being late then? Don't you be
