er did the villain ride into view on
the screen to a loud chorus of boos
and hisses. No longer was the final
f adeout of hero and heroine accom
panier by booming sighs and gargan
tuan smacks. The Pick became res
pectable.
The change in the atmosphere could
not, however, affect the memories of
those who had known the old theatre
in the days when it was as much a
part of college life as the Old Well.
Old grads (if they are not too old)
will tell you that in those times you
could explain to a prof that you were
not prepared because your fraternity
or dormitory attended the Pick in a
body the night before, and the excuse
would be accepted with an indulgent
smile. They will tell you of the time
when so-and-so of the faculty was
nearly hit by a pop-bottle, and they
will dwell lovingly on the details of the
occasion when the students rose with
the strength of indignant fervor and
stopped the showing of one of those
terribly collegiate pictures.
Bring back your Carolina man who
remembers the old days of the Pick,
and attend a show with him at our
present more modern theatre. We
question whether he will be able to
stand the shock of a houseful of stu
dents sitting more or less quietly
through a picture, the air unclouded
by a single flying object.
The times are changing. Our en
tertainment is more chaste, our man
ners more quiet. We wonder if the
Shades of the Past will do much
sighing when the Pick is reopened for
the show.

On Monday evening from 7:45 to
8:30, the University ol JNortn Caro
lina band, under the direction of 1.
Smith McCorkle of the .University
music faculty, will broadcast over
Station WPTP, Raleigh, N. C. The
program will consist of various num
bers selected from those played on
the winter tour and those to be play
ed on the forthcoming spring tour.
The Raleigh program is sponsored by"
the University Extension Division,
under the direction of Morgan F. Vin

the regular University Radio Hour,
the time of the appearance was chang
ed through the requests of radio
listeners throughout the South who
complained that the regular after
noon hour from 5 to 6 o'clock is very
in convenient for the hosts who wish
to listen to University talent.
The list of men to make the Raleigh
trip will be announced at the regular
rehearsal this evening at 7 o'clock, and
it is very important that every mem
ber of the band attend, it was an

Ain't It
Wonderful?
For the past week fraternities have
been nuisances. The quiet, intelligent
element the intelligent minority
that is on the campus have not only
been disturbed from their studies, but
actually forced to like it.
Neophytes stripped to their what-
youmaycallits have been seen per
ambulating over the campus and
wandering in and out of class build
frigs,-the library, and Swain Hall a
all hours of the day. " The other night
blind-folded youths with candles in
their hands were yelling with all
their might for the student council,
and that worthy organization refused
to come to their aid and to the aid
of the afore-mentioned "quiet" stu
dents. One helpless initiate was
forced to milk a cow on main street
in front of one of the drug stores
and the cow wasn't allowed the privi
lege of objecting.
We aren't objecting to paddling
neophytes; but why not take them
out intd the country where the cam
pus won't be disturbed by the re
sounding of. wood against flesh?

Neither do we mind pouring a pail
or so of water on frantic youths who
sit underneath the window and beg
for it; but we don't want to sit up
all night . long merely to accommo
date them.
The unprincipled confusion will
probably last for several more days;
and some of us will have to grin and
like it. f '

The Salad Days
Of the Pickwick ,
The doors of the Pickwick are to
be reopened soon. A show ' will be
given there for one night only, and
then the Shades of the Past who
doubtless inhabit the place will once
again be left to themselves.
The Pickwick has a special place
all its own in the recent history of
the University. It has been the scene
of many high jinks, and not a few
. that were just a trifle too high.
Peanut shells and common ordinary
spitballs, with other more substantial
missiles, flew around freely at the
shows. The Pick was not merely a
moving picture palace. , It was a place
to meet your friends, to uncork your
inhibitions in the friendly darkness
in short, to have a collegiate good
time.
There came a time ,inevitably, when
& quietus had to be put on the unseem
ly behavior of the audience. No long-
Clipped
Could It
Be Done?
It has been gratifying to find that
the North Carolina Athletic Associa
tion has begun to take a mature and
intelligent view of college atheletics.
Its recently voiced view that college
athletics , should be primarily for the
physical development of all students
instead of for the few athletes who
compose the varsity teams, is the
most advanced idea about athletics
that has come from the noggin of any
one connected with colleges in a long
time. .
It was a blow in the right direction
when the association openly deplored
the fact that one of the University
coaches was going the rounds of the
high schools of the state expressing
loud objections because better coaches
are not being employed to train high
powered athletes for the University's
varsity teams.
It is to be regretted that the col
leges and universities throughout the
nation have maintained such an .ut
terly indifferent attitude towards the
physical development of the greater
part of their students, while they have
attached paramount importance to the
building up of varsity super-teams
composed of a handful of athletes.
It is this attitude which is chiefly
responsible for the fact that the
$300,000 stadium at the University
lies unused for about 360 days every
year, while at the same time athletic
facilities available to the majority of
students are so inadequate that less
than one-third of the student body
can develop physically.
The importance of athletics in edu
cation cannot be stressed too much,
but not the kind of athletics that we
now have. It is equally as important
to train college students physically
as it is to train them mentally. Yet
college authorities have been indif
ferent to this fact to an almost incre
dible degree.
It is refreshing to see even a small
group of men suspecting that the
present system is an evil rather than
a good. But we are interested to see
whether or not this idea can be put
into practice.
It is likely that any attempt to put
teeth in this new theory will meet
with strong opposition from the
legions who heartily endorse the
present -method and loyally back the
varsity teams built up for intercol
legiate competition at the' expense of
giving physical training to the major
ity of students. Is it too much to ex
pect a change in college athletics?
Will the idea be hooted down?

THE HANES FOUNDATION
The chimney swifts are unusually
early this year; they have been in
Chapel Hill since last Friday, April
5, while their very earliest recorded
arrival here is April 4, for 1889, and
the average date for them is April 16.
They have followed the early spring
