JL Merrell Saturday, November 24, 4928 PARAGRAPHICS This plan, for Sunday mail delivery is getting serious. ' Maybe the boxing team will put on another exhibition bout to raise the necessary cash to rent postof f ice boxes for the lovesick swains. ' ,1 - '.;-.. V .V . Wartime is far enough in the back ground for us to have forgotten all about such deprivations as "wheat less days," "heatjess days" and the like ; but , this afternoon we will un doubtedly recognize the tragedy -Of fall-time "gameless Saturdays."- The cleanest Buccaneer joke ' we have heard this year is that ' the es teemed editor of that publication call ed a staff meeting for .Thursday night and then forgot, to attend. While the Di Senate is investigating prices charged by the Book Exchange it might do well to pass a law making dopes two for a nickle instead of five cents per. . ' . .' ; ; . Y ' - When the Playmakers broadcast "Quaire Medicine" over radio, , we wonder whether it will have a tonic effect or a soothing effect on the audience? ' The intersociety debates this year are to be on the sub j ect of "uncom promising pacifism." We await the outcome with interest to see whether the losers and the winners stage a fight. - - Manager Woollen Speaks And Wise Words Come Forth In this price-soaring era when the tendency of costs is ever upward and , never down, why indeed should the f ootball fans expect the entry price of games to be held on a low level? $2.50 per game may seem Tather high for a cpuple of ionrs entertainment, but We think Mr. Woollen has amply justified such an increase In the ar ticle 'wherein he made public a few facts -concerning the costs, the pro- fits, and the.losses of college athletics. In the first place, additional reve nue for the support of athletics was necessary. Since ; neither intra murals nor sports other than football can command any significant at tendance, football ; remained the sole way of gaining extra money through gate receipts. An . alternative might have been the attempt to increase the student athletic fee but this, course would scarcely have proved popular or expedient.' - Since football is the popular member of the athletic family and also since no doubt it is responsi ble for the largest item of expense, in the matter ox ; training, equipment, and coaches' salaries; it seems fair enough for football ganies , to bring in a little extra cash. ; T: ; ; . Furthermore, explains Mr. Woollen, the increased cost more nearly reaches the standard set by the other large colleges and universities which Caro lina meets or hopes to .meet. And since the gate receipts are evenly' di vided between' the two teams playing, the best games cannot well be booked unless the price of tickets is in accprd with prices of other schools.' ' All of which appears to us to be a perfectly 'lucid and satisfactory ex planation of our newly acquired $2.50 football ticket. And what's more, if the Graduate Manager of Athletics sees fit to run the price on up to three' dollars, we - expect to make no howl whatsoever. If football must of " necessity support -all the other phases of athletics, we favor raising her salary tj) the - point at which it will . meet the , high cost of athleticing? A Reason ' ' For It All r.Of some' 300,000 hopeful boys and girls in the United.. States who en tered colleges last September," '60,000 will be missing next year, and if past records are indication, 90,000 more will have disappeared when Com-1 1 mencement Day, rolls around in 1931. , Some will drop out for financial or personal reasons, some to grasp an opportunity in the business world,' and others . because , of physical disability. .But' a large majority will be' just failures. And,, according to a sur vey in the New York World, the worst of it -is that the highly' intelligent stu dent is just-as likely to flunk out as his less fortunately endowed brother. To 50 per cent, of the students, coir lege is , a total loss as an educa tive instrument and as a factor in social and' economic progress. Since failures are about equally di vided among the clever and the stu pid, the students cannot "be altogether blamed. Educators have worried themselves to a frazzle over the prob lem of finding whose 'fault the fail ures are. ' . ' . ... " ..The jazz age athletics, home trahi mg, modern ' curricula everything f ram "liquor to lack of individual character has - been decried as the chief factor for the low , "percentage of success of college students. No college, as the World points out, can be .adjusted to the needs of every comer. Some undoubtedly will al ways be glorified playgrounds for the characters in John Held's . cartoons. But : when it is found that in ' one class almost twice as many students above the average intelligence failed as those of lesser mentality, then the answer must be put up to the indi vidual. The man who -cannot make the grade because of lack of native en dowments of intelligence is not to be censured. He is simply in the wrong place But the man who can, if he will, measure "up to the standards set, and does not, is the one causes the graying of the hair of Deans and Presidents throughout the country. There is no excuse for'liim. ( He must not ' expect to skate through college on a laugh, 'a drink, and - a wisecracking bluff to the professor. If he is in college for knowledge, then he must at least, make the attempt to get it. 'if j" We. shall have far less occasion for head-shaking over percentages and averages of college failure when the requirements for admission are based, not on intelligence and tne possession of a certain stock of knowledge, but rather on earnestnessand the desire to obtain more. II. J. G. Smith to Address LocaT EpVorth League Mr. J. - F. Smith, a member of the faculty of Berea College, in Ken tucky, will' speak Sunday evening at 7:00 at the Epworth League meeting in' the Methodist church. ,Mri Smith has a wide experience in educational and social work with residents of the Cumberland Mountain section of .'his home state. He has made a special study , of the ' folklore of the CurA berland people. It has gotten, to that stage where a man can't be a first-class murder er unless he's had a college educa tion. -Dayton News. ' Open Forum SAYS CO-EDS ARE LAW-BREAKERS ; II AVE NO RIGHT TO CRITI CISM OF HONOR SYSTEM Editor of the Tar Heel: I have always-favored free speech on the campus and supported Will Rogers in the - recent electoral ' un pleasantness, but when a co-ed and two , other co-eds write such asininity as appeared in the open forum of the last two Tar Heels and get.. . away with it,, the . time has come for the intelligent portion of the student body to defend themselves. Every student with-one iota of grey matter knows that the trouble with student . gov ernment is - not the form of govern ment, but the results ; of the spring elections. . For a hundred years this University progressed without the presence of a skirt in the student. body. Very sel dom was a. duel fought in Chapel Hill and , not many times was a local po liceman found unoonscious -after in-J vading the campus after sundownJ In contrast,' we - now. .can see females traversing the, campus at 'most any hour of the day. x After taking th? money which was to be used for ? a new gymnasium, they .even have the nerve to invade the present one The rights of the male population of the campus are being threatened,: To add insult to injury they even write open forum letters -to . the Tar Heel. : t Some years ago the wise, consider ate, and righteous legislature of this great state" passed a law prohibiting leg shows within three miles of the village. Do the ' co-eds not realize that, if Nthis law were enforced, they would be removed from school? . How are they, thus proven to be lawbreak ers fit persons to : discourse on the honor system? - . : The time has come for the male population of the campus to assert it self. As the first step in this action I would like to suggest that co-eds not be permitted 'to write open for um' letters, to the Tar Heel. . .Caro lina men, now is the time to act! I shall expect to see several letters to this effect in the next issue of the Tar Heel. ' " : Very truly yours, j . DON JUAN.: ' , ' HOW TO GET SUNDAY MAIL en ?lotnts 4 By H. J. Galland .. The editor of this column acknowl edges the questionable aid of Henry Brandis and Luther Steward, both of Avhom were suspected of being in, the throes of delirium treTnens - at the time cf contact with this column. Editor of the Tar Heel: i ' H Please allow me space to offer con dolence to two apparently", homesick, or more apparently lovesick fresh men. Anyone- that is homesick ; is worthy of sympathy, but as for one that is lovesick well, each' night when he says that, well known Mother Goose rhyme "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep," he should be sure to add "And, Dear Lord, may I grow up some day and' lay aside such petty : 55 foolishness.'' These boys, in this state of demen tatfon, have concluded that ; all they need to make this campus an earthly paradise' is a letter on Sunday.', They eviaently tnmK tnat a man s success is measured by the number, oi let ters he gets. They seem to' be more interested in 'the raising of their so cial standing, especially in their own estimation, than in acquiring an edu cation. Mail, is delivered to the dormitories six days each week, but these, youths are at that tender age that'- life is agony if they are unable to have their favorite toys every time they wish for them. I 'know it is hard on them, but they will soon be able to pass off Sundays more joyfully. In the meantime, there are boxes for rent at reasonable rates at the post office, ' and if these, boys . are so ego tistical as to ..think they are going to get a letter every Sunday, I think they would be better off to rent a box and get that cherished letter on Sunday. They would at; least be saved from many - Sundays of untold suffering while they are- wating for their dream of Sunday delivery to materialize. WILLIS WHICHARD.
