Third Edition: of American Caravan NvAr at Bulls Head The Bulls Head book shop now has the third annual publication of the "American Caravan," a yearbook of the American lit erature containing the latest styles of prose, free verse and drama. England manifested much interest in the first issue and the styles presented by the American writers. The third edition, edited by Alfred Kreym borg, Lewis Mumford and Paul Rosenf eld, displays still better styles. Among the contributers to this edition are two pronlinent North Carolinians : Paul Green and Joseph Mitchell. Mr,. Green was born in North Carolina and educated at the University. At present he is a member of the University fac ulty but has been studying re cently in Germany on the Gug genheim fellowship. He is ex pected to return to the Univer sitv soon. One of his plays, "In Abraham's Bosom," was pro duced by the Provincetown the atre and won the Pulitzer prize in 1927. The Caravan also con tains "Tread the Green Grass," a folk fantasy in three acts and two interludes with music and dumb-show. This is the hrst play in which Mr. Green has used this style and it has met with wonderful success. This play is to be produced by the Provincetown theatre during the coming season. ! Joseph Mitchell was also edu cated in the University, grad uating last year. He worked as assistant editor for the Carolina Magazine and his work was pub lished in that magazine and the New Student. The New American Caravan contains works of many recent authors throughout the United States. Editor Of Tar Heel Desires Information A "Readers' Opinions" let ter signed "A Girl" has been received by the editor of the Daily Tar Heel. Although he desires to publish the com munication, he cannot do so until informed of the correct initials and address of the anonymouse writer. It is requested that the writer see the editor at the Tar Heel of f ice, this ,t, after noon: or, if her maidenly modesty forbid this,, that she furnish the necessary, infor matics via the telephone or anonymous writer. 1 I I I "High Hats" Again a Tar Heel team been played up by opposing ner as to make the North Certain South Carolina papers have taken news des patches sent out by . the University News Bureau and edited them in such a manner as to make the South Caro lina players, "fighting mad." In a recent despatch re counting past series betw sen the Tar Heels ; and the Gamecocks, the words Tar '. leels were changed ofHigh Hats." In another column taken from the University paper dubbing the Tar He; is an obvious attempt to wrk the South Carolinians up for the game. A victory cyer the North Carolina team would boost South Carolina considerably in the Confer ence. A win for the Tar leels is almost necessary as there is no reason for a IosdL Too much stock should not be placed in the reports of Iinav ' Whatever may be Laval will have" those boys worked up for this game as , for no other game this season.; South Carolina wants to win. North Carolina shouid win. T Issue of Law Review To Be Ready For Press Saturday Student editors are completing final, drafts for the first issue of the North Carolina Law Re-j view which will go to press near the end of this week. There has been a larger amount of acceptable materia for the December Review than i has usually been the case for the first issue. The final drafts of notes and comments on recent cases will soon be completed. The hew assignments for inves tigation by the student editors will be issued immediately and the preparation for the second issue will begin as soon as the first goes to press. Arrange ments are being made for the distribution of a certain number of copies to the lawyers in sev eral of the neighboring states. In the past the Law Review has gone chiefly to the law yers of North Carolina, libraries throughout the country, and other law reviews.

New Parisian Magazine Carries Slanguage Of (By Frank Manheim) j "Do horse-operas click with you or would you frigidaire them in favor of a flesh and blood an gel who had a nice pud die-jump er and wasn't any wowser?" If you can't read the above, and understand it, it is a con fession that you are not keeping up with the slanguage of 1929. The sentence, if translated, would read, "Do western motion pictures agree with you or would you snuo mem in xavor ui beauteous maiden of charm who had a nice automobile and who wasn't anv blue-nosed reform- err These and many hundreds of other expressions have been pub lished in the magazine Transi tion, printed in Paris. The pur pose of it was to enable foreign ers to keep on contact with the slang-of-the-moment. But the great majority of the terms are as strange to our own ears as they are to a Frenchman's or a German's. For instance, would you recognize Tieap to mean an automobile, or a "Spanish guitar" to mean a cigar ? and Otherwise eaves for a game which has feports writers in such a man- Carolina team overconfident. in this paper a .quotation is of South Carolina's student Is as loquacious.' .All this the weakness of South Caro ihe team's weakness, Coach ! Latin Professors Publish Handbook Press notices are beginning to appear concerning "A Handbook of Classical Mythology" by Professors George Howe and G, A. Harrer of the Latin depart ment. This book was published last summer. The book is a dictionary of Greek and Roman mythology ar ranged alphabetically. It con tains articles about and identi fication of characters in the best known myths. The book is unique in that it is arranged alphabetically. There is such a book in German but this is the only one in English. The Boston Evening Tran script says of it: "This little book fills a long felt want and does it in an almost perfectly satisfactory manner. . .... They have managed the difficult prob lem of inter-relationships and repitition in a thoroughly satis factory manner. . . . The inner meaning of many of the grand old stories leaps surprisingly out at once in these condensed sum maries. The authors have looked behind the mere legend and more than once have suggested the moral or the humor that was in the mind of the old story tellers." The New York Sun says : "The little volume is uncommonly complete and useful." 1929 For Students partial listing of the words and expressions which may serve as an addenda to an English course is: On the up-and-up : in good faith, aboveboard, true. . To lay an egg : collapse, flounder. kiss-off : dismissal, farewell. Horse-opera : western movie. Puddle jumper: automobile. To take it on the heel and toe: to depart. To make whoopee : need that be explained? Ticker and tape worm: Wall street broker. Flicker: motion picture. To ankle: walk, amble along. To get the magoo: receive bad luck. ' To tear a herring: to dine. Gabbies, squawkies : talking mo tion pictures. Welded, sealed: married. Garbo-Gilberting : indulging in amorous pursuits. . Everything is copesetty: o. k. Ironsides : corseted maiden. Weeping willow: pillow. Wind-sucker: braggart, boaster. Bennie: overcoat.

The following announce ment has been released from Columbia, S. C.r The University of South Carolina will not play the University, of North Caro lina in football next year. , "Dr. R.VK. Foster, direc tor of athletics at the Uni versity of South Carolina, has received a telegram from the University of North Carolina authorities, advising that due to a switch of dates, there wiill be no place for the Game cocks on the 1930 Tar Heel schedule. A two-year con- uiu iiuis uui una jcai. Due to shifts in the tentative schedule for next year, the Uni versity of North Carolina will not be able to play the Univer sity of South Carolina next year on a date corresponding to this year's schedule, but, so far as North Carolina is concerned, the the two institutions may play provided they can agree on oth er dates, Charles T. Woollen, Graduate Manager at the Uni versity of North Carolina, said last night when questioned re garding reports that North and South Carolina would not meet in football next year. Several shifts are being made in the North Carolina schedule, and each shift so affects the other teams . to be played that none of the changes can be an nounced until the complete schedule is fixed and approved by the Athletic Council, Mr. Woollen stated. Mr. Woollen would neither confirm nor deny rumors that. i the University was negotiating for games s with Tennessee, Van derbilt, Alabama, Florida, Notre Dame, Princeton, and a hundred and one other institutions. "To make public our plans now would be manifestly unfair to other institutions on our schedule," Mr. Woollen said. Zimmerman To Speak At Debate Meeting Professor Zimmerman will speak at the meeting of the de bate squad tonight in 201 Mur phey at 7 :30. Owing to the fact that Carolina is to be represent ed on both sides of the disarma ment question in coming debates, Professor Zimmerman will not confine his discussion to either side. The full statement of the query is : "Resolved, That the United States should advocate the disarmament of all armed forces, except those which are needed for police purposes." All members of the squad who intend to compete in the tryout on the night of November 21 are expected to be present tonight.
