Enthusiasm for the?' varied 'enter

widespread over the ' campus1 ' and

by the successive appearances of

Wednesday night came as a grand
finale to the season's ' program and
marked it as a great success. -
What has been the nature" of an ex

The idea of securing the best possi-

ble attractions for a nominal studen
fee has proved practicable and popu
lar and will be retained as. an impor
tant part of the college education,
Already the program for next , year
is being worked out, with, theTheater
Guild, the Isadora Duncan dancers

tentatively scheduled. ,".'V . . V-. -Nine
attractions were booked for
the past season, and they cost those
students who saw them only three
dollars. Fifteen or twenty dollars
worth of entertainment for three dol
lars is undoubtedly an excellent bar
gain. And the best thing about it is
that these splendid entertainers are
ones which could not be obtained
otherwise. They fill out the gaps in
the educational program and provide
entertainment at the same time.

Professor Oscar Coffin, well known
journalist and often characterized1 as
"The Faculty of the School of Journ
alism," turns out men, and women,
too, who actually turn out to be journ
alists, no mean feat in these days of
preparation for the tasks of life by
means of mere books and theory.
Two of the professor's recent pro
ducts have been visiting the campus
the past week-end, living examples
of what a period of internship in
Alumni Building, second floor, will
do. For both of them are bona-fide
newspapermen. Judson Ashby, for
mer editor of the Tar Heel is taking
over the Mt. Airy Times. He is edi
tor and proprietor of the paper. W.
W. Anderson, former editor of the
"Buccaneer," is the latest, addition to
seems to be no more crime of any im
portance in the Tillage, and as a re
sult he and his men have no work to
do
If the crime wave remains at such
a low ebb, he told a reporter for that
paper, he will immensely enjoy being
the chief -of -police of the village. Far
be it from us to disturb the peace and
happiness of any citizen of this com
munity, especially a police officer.
One or two facts in which Chief
loyd ought to be interested, however,
have apparently escaped his benevo-
ent notice.
We do not know just what consti
utes a crime or crime wave in the
opinion of the chief, but it is never
theless a fact that more money and
clothes have been stolen from f raterni
ies and dormitories during the last
week than at any time during the
school year. Money was lost in some
quantity from the Sigma Delta and
Zeta Beta Tau houses during the
house parties those fraternities had
recently. When aid was sought at the
police station after one of the rob
beries, no officer could be found.
Tuxedos have been missing from
dormitories with startling regularity.
Clothes v and money .have -been, taken
from the S. IH'Eiouse and al least;'
five other fraternities on the cam
pus within the last eight, or ten days.
And the end is not yet in sight.
We are glad the chief is enjoying
his job and finds there is little work
for him to do. We hope he will con
tinue to enjoy it to the utmost,' for if
he continues to overlook a few. more
robberies and minor happenings of
that nature, we fear that he will have
no job to enjoy.

chest weights even more than the
freshmen who mostly use the Gym.
For it is so far from the "Tin Can"
that few students, especially in cold
weather, will walk to it in light ath
letic clothes in order to use its equip
ment." This condition might not arise
if each department were rich enough
to possess all of its own equipment
complete. But it simply is not, and
the student suffers thereby.
This is a silly situation. There is i
no reason why the "Tin Can", which !
is used by many more students (if
we except the freshmen whose at
tendance is compulsory) than the
Gym, especially in the Fall and Win
ter quarters, should be supposed to
belong" only to the Athletic Depart
ment, while the Gym "belongs" only
to the University. Even less justi
fiable and less efficient is the separa
tion of the Intra-mural department
from the gymnasium department.
There is no benefit to the students,
certainly in loose organization. There
would be much, however, in combining
the two departments . and placing
them under, one director. It is a po
sition for one man, not for two; the
only problem, therefore, would be to
make sure that the new Director of
Athletics at the University of North
Carolina is big enough for the job.
We must look ahead. There will
be a new gymnasium on the campus
within a very few years. The "Tin
Can" will probably go, and the old
Bynum gym certainly will. A reor
ganization is sure to take place at
that time. But why wait? The soon
er it is done the better for everyone.
Let it be done this year, as soon as
possible.

There "is. nothing so beautiful at j

New Dorms the other day and our
companion, just returned Irom a

beauty of the Princeton campus. It
seemed to us that our own campus
never presented a more lovely sight
than on that particular morning, but
our friend was blind to it. Perhaps
it was because it was so much a part
of his environment that he took no
notice. We've never been to Prince

What will you remember longest
about your college days? You'll not
forget the old day by day classroom
routine, nor your regular frat or
dorm life; you'll always be able to
tell about certain high spots and big
times,-the big dances, the big week-
end trips; and you're not apt to for
get the night of initiation, nor the
night of the frosh-soph battle. These
things will always be with you.
SEEKS INFORMATION
One of the great weaknesses of
intra-mural athletics at the Univer
sity is, of course, lack of adequate
gymnasium facilities. One must seek
farther, however, for the primary
reasons, since only part of the many
sports which may be played during
the course of the year are played in
side. A brief review of the genral
organization of athletics on this cam
pus may throw some light on the sub
ject, and suggest a remedy which will
increase interest and participation in
sports here.
University athletics is divided up
into three departments : the Athletic
Association, which is headed by the
Athletic Council, and has charge of
intercollegiate sports; the gymnasium
department, which limits its scope
entirely to imparting physical edu
cation to freshmen; and lastly, the
intra-mural department. The Gym
is supported by the ; University; the
Athletic Association is separate from
the University, receives no money at
all from it, and is self-supporting.
The maintenance of the Intra-mural
dapartment, which is comparatively
small, comes partly from the Gym
and partly from the University.
Althoueh independent of each
other, the three departments theoret
ically are supposed to work together.
In one way, this has weakened the
Intra-mural department, for some
times its purpose has seemed simply
to uncover material for varsity teams.
This should be merely the incidental,
not the essential design of this de
partment. On the other hand, co
operation is sometimes lacking, and
this condition works a hardship both
on University athletics in general,
and on the students. For instance,
there are about sixteen sets of chest
weights in the Bynum Gym, and not
one in the "Tin Can." If there were
real co-operation, the Gym might
lend part of this apparatus to the
"Tin Can" for the use of the boxers,
wrestlers, and basketball men who
use the latter, and who need work on
But what about that old room
mate? You'll probably remember him
about as long as you- remember any
thing. The fellow you lived so inti
mately with month upon month, the
other member in your family of two,
the fellow you really grew to know
and who really knew you, the fellow
you loved and hated, loaned to and
borrowed from, praised and abused,
scrapped with and slept with, studied
with, ate with, talked with, argued
with, walked with, played with, and
discussed the merits and demerits of
everything under the sun with. , The
fellow you knew at his best and worst
and all the way between, and who
knew you equally as well.
Much depends on the roommate.
One might go so far as to say that a
man's happiness in college is often
regulated to a great extent by his
roommate. Surely a disagreeable
roommate can make life miserable,
and a pleasant one renders life more
enjoyable. When two men live in one
room together for any length of time
they will probably v grow either to
hate each other or become very fond
of each other. Examples of both
cases are commonly met with in the
dormitories.

"We Rebuild Shoes"
Everyone has seen roommates who
are always ready to fly verbally, and
sometimes fistically, at each other's
throat. They can't stand each other,
hate each other; in some cases openly,
in others aloofly, coldly,- cordially.
They just don't fit; if one wants the
window up the other wants it down.
They may have been good friends be
fore rooming together, but now the
old illusions are dead; familiarity is
busy breeding contempt. Their di
vorce is a change of rooms at the end
of the quarter; their Reno is the busi
ness office in Old South.
On the other hand is the happy
pair of roommates ; the ones who
stay together quarter after quarter,
year after year, whose ways and
habits grow together in happy con
formity. They enjoy a friendly scrap
just as much as they do a game of
tennis. Theirs is a friendship per
haps more durable than any other
made in college.
Fortunate is the man who draws a
roommate he can gee with. Unfor
tunate is he who draws the other
kind. And no man can tell how he is
going to get along with a fellow until
he has roomed with him awhile, no
matter how friendly the two may
have been before. However, there
are some men who can room agree
ably with anybody, men who simply
always seem to stay on good terms
with everybody around them. Such a
...Mr. R. B. House, speaking in chapel
last Tuesday, stated that the power
age into which we are about to enter
will be one of changed conditions in
agriculture, . industry, and transpor
tation. It will also bring a change
in educational method. We are here
reminded of George Bernard Shaw's
recent endorsement of some scientist's
idea that the human head and brain
can be kept alive long, after decad
ence of the body. If the thing ever
becomes practical the heads of our
most brilliant intellectuals may be
preserved and they may continue
lecturing for the next two centuries.
Who knows but that the next genera
tion of students may be attending
lectures by bodyless heads?
It is not our intention that the
above be construed as a bed-time
story. , It is merely a statement of
fact. If the impression made was
cadaverous and gruesome to the gen
tle reader, we humbly beg to be par

Over the radio last Tuesday night
we heard Paul Whiteman and his Or
chestra play a medley of old tunes
such as "Tea for Two" and other
similar classics. Going down by
Steele Dormitory the next evening we
heard strains of the same old tunes

swan song.
Russian students have been mak
ing a terrible fuss of late over vod
ka drinking. Anti-alcoholic demon
strations have been held in several
cities. In Tashkent, Samarkand, the
slogan of the student-mob was : "Let
us pull father out of the liquor bottle".
Quite the reverse would have been
the case if father had observed son
at the Carolina-Virginia game in
Greensboro last Saturday. He would
have wanted to pull son out of the
stadium. 1
We are laboriously pecking away
at a typewriter, and it has just begun
