Faculty
And Student
Well may we lament the rise
of mass education and the con
sequent disappearance of per
sonal contact between students
and professors, for much has
been sacrificed to efficiency and
method. Well may we also wel
come mass education, for it has
done much to enlighten people
in general.
With this introduction the
writer hopes to embody in this
editorial a discussion of the re
lation of faculty and student
from the standpoint of the stu-
dent's interests- entirely.
After having heard his father
talk about his college days (days
when colleges were small), the
average youth comes to college
today with the expectation of
broadening and educating him
self through association with
professors. Little d np lie real
ize that when he graduates four
years from the date of his en
trance not more than five or six
professors will know his first
name and even fewer will, call
him by it. In other words, he
is utterly ignorant of the great
barrier wjuch separates faculty
from students. And this afore
said barrier is, in the last analy
sis, the evil of mass education in
-colleges and universities.
Over against-this situation
we may well consider the un
biased contention that a few
minutes conversation' with the
average professor is worth a
dozen of his lectures immeas
urably more useful and invari
ably more7 interesting.' Yet the
rank and file of our professors
seldom take any time from
Playing golf, writing books, or
working on research projects to
talk with individual members of
their classes. Seemingly, this
Is asking too much of them.
Yet we offer no well-defined
remedy to the situation, for it
is a personal matter which is,
perhaps, beyond the realm of
faculty legislation. After all,
it may be a stimulus to individ
uality. The writer feels, how
ever, that even that trait needs
to be guided.
The truth of the matter is
that personal relationships be
tween faculty and students have
gone the way of all big business.
This fact we lament.

The Second Conquest
Of Annie Peck
Annie S. Peck is a name
which, in North America, has
been almost forgotten. Twenty
one years ago that name was as
well known as Lindbergh's is
today, for it was then that An
nie Peck accomplished her
epoch-making climb up Mount
Huascaran in Peru, the highest
point ever reached by an Amer
ican in the Western Hemisphere.
But Miss Peck is by no means
lost to the staleness of things
accomplished. The north peak
of Huascaran, "Cumbra Ana
Peck," is evidence that she has
the privilege, if anybody Jias, 0f
continued existence on her dy
ing reputation. There shall be
none of this for her. Once
more she feels the urge of ad
venture, and she has announced
that at a very early date she is
to make her tenth voyage to
South America. f .
This time she will hot attempt
to scale again the highest peak.
She will try something which,
to-her, is a new experience. It
will be a conquest and it will be
an upward journey ; she is. to ex
plore the western and eastern
coasts of v South America- by air
plane, and she has never, ridden
in one before.
Annie Peck is now an old wo
man old in years but young in
spirit. Like Lindbergh, she is
symbolic of youth, but of a dif
ferent kind of youth. She is
going to try something which
is almost impossible for a wo
man of her years; yet, she is
undaunted by warnings. Her
spirit is the restless ever-achieving
type. Hers is the spirit
which college students must cul
tivate if they are to keep con
tinually fresh, and if they are
to make education count, for
more than mere social and eco
nomic prestige.

Readers Opinions
PETER GREEN, AGAIN!
Editor Daily Tar Heel:
My roseate expectations have
recently suffered a very severe
setback. I have been accused of
lifting my raucous voice, sneer
ing at properties, and of being
one half humbug and the other
half hypocracy. The' 'slightest
modicum of common sense would
teach that I was making myself
the subject of scorn "and - sar
casm over the entire campus. It
is the natural corollary of such
iconoclastic statements that I
should apologize to the Student
Body. The horrible conscious
ness has just dawned upon me
that I am hardly presentable
for polite society under the
present conditions. I offer my
humblest apologies to Mr. Haw
kins, Miss Co-ed, and Mr. Aris
totle, and their forgiveness for
all these offenses is very peni
tently and humbly invoked.
Sincerely yours,
PETER GREEN
TAG FO0TBALL
i i
Editor Daily Tar Heel:
Tag football is now in full
swingxon the campus. f Every
dormitory group has been issued
footballs with which to prac
tice in preparation for its reg
ular scheduled games. But in
stead of practicing on the intra
mural fields which have been set
aside for this purpose, the ten
dency for dormitory teams is to
"choose up sides" and play just
outside the dormitories right
in the middle of plots of extra
ordinarily beautiful grass. Much
time, expense and effort have
been spent on this campus . of
ours. And to have all their
work erased by the trampling
feet of crowds of unthinking
students is a perfect shame.
Our campus is a thing of beauty
and it ranks with those of the
most beautiful colleges in the
country. Now the question is:
Are we to continue this prac
tice of playing tag on the cam
pus grass?" .
No, we are not. Too much
is at stake. We will henceforth
play or practice games on the
intra-mural fields. And the
grass surrounding the buildings
on the campus will grow green
and unhampered. The beauty
of our campus will not be
ruined.
A STUDENT
DEFENDS THE COUNTRY
Editor of the Tar Heel :
In Friday's Tar Heel Peter
Green is referred to as a back
woodser or, "If he isn't, then he
has succeeded in acquiring a set
of backwoods manners from a
city environment."
The writer hates to appear
curious but would like to know
if there is some magic in a city
environment which does not per
mit the breeding of such asinine
individuals as Peter Green?
I am afraid that our friend,
R. Hawkins, has confused his
ideas of a backwoods environ
ment with that of a cotton mill
village. . .
-
I was born and reared in the
country" and I am very prouckof
tnat tact, yetMn all my back
woods existence I have still to
see the country boy who would
make such a totally idiotic exhi
tiition of liimself such as advo
cated by Peter Green.
Respectfully,
A COUNTRY BOY.
Clipped
It Is .
Abominable
This-is to say that we indorse
unreservedly the remarks of the
Daily News' sports editor about
the abominable contraction of
Tar Heels as a designation for
the University of North Caro
lina football team into. the inde
fensible and outrageous "Heels"
and that we pledge whatever as
sistance we are able to render
him' in his campaign to wipe that
absurd anomaly from the face of
the earth.
In the day when the colleges
and 'universities rejoice in the
naming of their athletic teams
with such monstrosities as Crim
son Typhoons, Bounding Earth
quakes and Golden Hail Storms,
it has been a satisfaction to re
flect that one team at least has
a name with genuine meaning.
Tar Heel connotes something. It
has tradition, it has state sig
nificance, it is known all over
the country.
Yet in' the very home of the
Tar Heel, at the university itself
and in the student newspaper
which carries at its masthead
the name of The Daily Tar Heel,
the reader is slapped inthe f acd
with a headline, "Roosevelt Vis
its Campus ; Likes Heel Football
Team," and again "Notables to
Attend Heels-Georgia Game"
and once jnore, "Heels, Florida
and Clemson Top Southern
Teams." If the Tar Heels them
selves permit and encourage this
abomination, what tan they ex
pect of headline writers else
where? -
Oh, we know the difficulties
of Jieadline writing and the nec
essity of "holding a head in a
definite space. But where has
the art of the headline gone that
the problem cannot be met?
We were for the Tar Heels
when they faced a once great
and perhaps a still great foe in
Atlanta, and we'll be for them
when they meet the conquerors
of Yale this week. But the Heels
arouse no patriotic fervor in
these North Carolina breasts. 1
If this be conservatism', let
the sports writers make the most
of it. Qnly let them understand
now that a coat of tar and the
heel of a boot is our policy, for
those who do not know that a
North Carolinian is a Tar Heel
and nothing less. Greensboro

For the last time, we swore to
ourself. For the last time; nev
er again. It started this way:
someone flattered us by men
tioning the fact that we had a
good poem in our column last
issue. "Hilariously funny" to be
precise. Well, that was the be
ginning of it all. Being quite
naive, and consequently, suscep
tible to flattery and compliment,
it went to our head. Well, up
m iront oi bwam hall, we
walked out into the middle of the
street and quiteforgot what we
were in the street for. Then
suddenly, into the midst of our
inquirious musings, broke a
dozen or so shouts of "Look!",
and we stood still. Fortunately,
the car just passed oyer the tips
of our toes. We prayed our
thanks, resolving never, never
again to write a poem- which
might induce someone to tell us
that it was good. And if anyone
dares ...

the good old savory burley, soothing

There's even a fourth reason: you

brotherhood is that.
Tobacco's at its best in a pipe. It
gets a chance to be itself there to
loosen up as it comes to life, to ex
pand and take in air and glow. Only
the choicest leaves get that chance,
moreover, for pipes tell the truth
about tobacco. Choice leaves, choice
blends, and mighty careful han
dling. Edgeworth comes up through
eleven distinct processes before we're
willing to pass it on to you.
If you keep on missing all this,
