A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I wish you could see my gar
den. I looked at it for nine
weeks on end last summer when
I might have been wasting my
time on verses. A. A. Milne.
Is It Worth
The Cost?
The real question to be de
cided Tuesday is: does the Daily
Tar Heel render sufficient ser-i
vices to the campus : to justify
an increase of 33 1-3 j cents . .a
quarter in the student publica
tion fee? We think it does.
There are tiree distinct ser
vices rendered by the daily pa
per. It is without doubt;! the
only suitable means 'of making
announcements and informing
the student body of current hap
penings. Although every one
may not agree as to what con
stitutes an announcement of suf
ficient importance to " merit ' a
prominent display, we continue
to believe that the Daily has
proven satisfactory as a medium
of information to the student
body as a group.
More than fifty students find
the work of producing the Daily
sufficiently interesting to devote
considerable time in the after
noons to the work. It is not and
never will be a closed corpora
tion. Any student doing work
of a satisfactory nature is al
lowed to become a part of the
Daily. It is essentially a stu
dent enterprise.
Finally the Daily Tar Heel has
brought the University the dis
tinction of possessing the only
daily paper in the South Atlantic
section proper. To produce
daily is no mean accomplish
ment. It is a tribute to the en
ergy and initiative of the Uni
versitv's student body. Because
- v -
the students are the owners of
the Daily Tar Heel, whatever
glory may; be won by those do
ing the actual work reflects on
the entire student body.
i Is" it worth the price? Ans
wer the question yourself .Think
back a year to the old tri-weekly.
" And remember that 1 the
daily is concrete evidence of
what we are doing here. It is a
record of our achievements and
failures.
V
Nothing Like
A Daily Paper
Next Tuesday the student
body will decide by campus-wide
vote whether the Daily Tar Heel
is to continue as a daily or go
back to its old tri-weekly form.
If it remains a daily there will
be an increase of 33 1-3 cents
a quarter in the publication fee.
If it reverts to a tri-weekly there
will be no change in the fee.
We firmly believe that the
Daily Tar Heel is in no danger.
The student body realizes that
as an experiment the publica
tion has proven a success. Com
ing out six days a week it has
been as punctual and its news
oualitv has been as attractive
as when it appeared only three
times a week. Besides helping
the reputation of the University
outside the campus, the daily
paper has added astoundingly
to the welfare and happiness of
the student body. It would be
hard to do without a daily now
that we have experienced having
one.
That the Daily Tar Heel would
not be self-supporting was a
foregone conclusion. Not many
student publications are. The
remarkable part of it is that we
are only being asked for a dollar
increase to keep up the present
standards of our publications.
This will cause the fee to amount
to six dollars a year, which is,
as far as . what we get for our
money is concerned, the lowest
publication fee we have heard
of : at any; college.
Few things are more flat and
tasteless than stale news; noth
ing is fresher than fresh news.
That is the difference between a
daily and a tri-weekly paper.
Certainly it is worth eleven cents
a month to every student on the
campus to have fresh news at
his door every, morning J. J.
Initiations
Since the days of savagery,
down through the periods inflict
ed with such practices and in
stitutions as the Roman gladia
torial combats, the Inquisition,
the Ku-Klux Klan, and senatori
al investigations, man has exhi
bited more or less futile efforts
at times to control primitive na-
ure. His overt actions, cen
sored and prohibited in one di
rection, have reappeared with
renewed vigor under some other
guise. Although psychologists
have fairly definitely proved that
the actual desires of an indivi
dual never totally disappear, this
fact has often been neglected by
egislative bodies in the f ormu-
ation of rigid and inflexible re
straints.
A striking example of this
well-known psychological prin
ciple of sublimation i.e.-the re
appearance under a different as
pect of some repressed internal
drive is to be observed in the
initiations occurring on the
campus from time to time. In
spite of, or possibly due to, the
strict regulations here regard
ing hazing, the instinctive love
for administering physical or
mental tortue to one's fellow
man seeks this means of expres
sion arid results in elaborate, of
ten disgusting, and sometimes
even harmful, methods of reduc
ing the ego of the unfortunate
neophyte. Not only fraternities,
but such supposedly dignified
and august organizations as the
Golden Fleece, Di Senate, and
others are rumored to administer
in most awe-inspiring ceremonies
the privileges of membership. .
Perhaps a certain amount o
horse-play is to be encouraged
or at least tolerated. Yet, being
unquestionably a relic of ages
long past, it should become soon
er or later obsolete since, in the
words of Walter Lippman, "An
American will endure almost any
insult except the charge that he
is not progressive." Initiations
as practiced at present, wil
eventually, and no doubt should
follow the Frosh-Soph Tug-o-
wars and Snowfights into obli
vion. J. M. L.
THE DAILY
j Professors, Students,
!
j And The Weather
It hurts me as much as it
hurts you," says the irate fa
ther as he wields the hair brush.
And so said his father before
him and his before him and so
on ad infinitum until we have
harked back to the caveman and
his club.
Daily we play leap frog
down two flights of stairs, dash
madly across campus and again
scurry up two more flights of
stairs to the tune of the last bell
and occasionally we reach a
class, that directly follows an
other one, on time. Sometimes
we get to the door just on time
to gasp here to roll-call and then
sink into a seat across which a
warm and yellow patch of sun
light is draped. One half, of the
hour is consumed in the process
of cooling off and the remaining
half is dedicated1 to the art of
composing one's face into such
an expression as is most approv
ed by the professor. This is es
pecially difficult in hot weather
for while one's mind remains
like a brown mud puddle, one's
face must bespeak the activity
of a bubbling brook.
Some professors very humane
ly permit their facial
expres-
sions to register what is the sum
total of "it hurts me as much as
it does you", and thus form a
sympathetic bond between the
different varieties of sufferers.
The student is then almost will-
mg. to help maintain a degree of
classroom dignity. ; , !
Not infrequently a professor's
expression registers something
which might be translated as:
"It's all your fault." The stu
dents immediately retaliate with
the. same and before an hour is
over a group of people see red.
This situation is far worse than
he event in which a professor
is suffering from indigestion or
he effects of a bad half-hour
with the wife, since it is most
probable that the other faction
is not afflicted likewise.
Thus far, according to experi
mental observation (data not
publishable) the "it hurts me as
much as it hurts you" expression
is the one which produces the
best results since it is a known
fact that misery loves company.
11 Omens
. One of the things that has
ong made the University village
of Chapel Hill attractive to out
siders is the beauty of its imme
diate countryside. Almost com
pletely surrounded by unspoiled
woods, through which wind
paths and streams, and with a
sylvan air about its very streets,
the town is more like some sort
of dream village than the ones
usually found in North Caro-
ina.
But of late Chapel Hill has
shown signs of losing her old
charm. Many of its roadside
pines and oaks and dogwoods
have given way to filling sta
tions, while the inexorable lines
of dwelling houses each year
march a little further into the
prettiest parts of the woods.
Trysting places are annually be
coming back yards ; fastnesses,
once lovely and remote, are be
ing marked off and sold as
building lots.
Only a few days ago I saw a
group of men driving stakes and
running. lines in the woods near
Meeting of the Waters. This
particular section is undoubted
ly the most pleasant and seclud
ed locality left directly adjacent
to the campus. For an after
noon walk no better place can be
found so near the University.
It is unthinkable that such a
spot should be made into a real
estate development. Yet- the
thing would not be without pre
cedent in Chapel Hill.
; The signs are ominous. J. J.
The president's report of 1907
stated that a student's annual
expenses were about S250, while
I in 1900 it was only 150.
TAR HEEL
RET.IMSCENCES
From the Tar Heel Files
By Howard M. Lee
Twenty-Five Years Agi
The Tar Heel was not pub
lished on account of the near
ness of commencement. .
Ten Years Ag

ty, the Philanthropic Society
went on record as disfavoring
any form of co-education at the
University except for graduates
from other institutions, profes
sional students, and ' resident
girls.

tennis tournament at Chapel
Hill.
Andy Johnson, "Dean of the
Medical School," and president
of the University Janitor's As
sociation, spoke before the stu
dent body in Gerrard hall at

tion could be obtained, between
janitors and the students. Andy
was the first negro that has
ever spoken to a University au
dience in Gerrard hall.
Four girls from Flora ..Mc
Donald college rendered a mus
ical concert in Gerrard hall.
Ten faculty houses : . costing
approximately $50,000 were in
process of construction.
Five Years Ago
The student body voted by a
landslide of 571 to 59 to have a
permanent blanket fee for the
Publication Union. It was also
decided to reduce the fee from
$5.50 to 5.00 and to add the
Buccaneer to the list, . of publi
cations which included the Tar
Heel, the Yackety Yack, and the
Carolina Magazine.
Dean D. D. Carroll returned
from an eight month trip to
Europe. Mr. Carroll's trip was
made possible by the Kenan
traveling professorship.
Venable hall, the best equip
ped chemistry building in the
South, was completed.
The co-eds raised $100.00 to
ward the purchase of laundry
equipment to be placed on the
third floor of Spencer hall.
Virginia defeated Carolina 2
to 1 in the annual baseball game

ZOOLOGY COURSES
GIVEN IN SUMMER
Dr. Robert E. Coker, director
of the Alleghany School of Nat
ural History at Quaker B ridge,
N. Y., is now accepting registra
tions fqr that school during the
summer. Courses received from
this school will be accepted by
this University.
The Alleghany School is lo
cated in a large forest in Alle
ghany State Park, where in
creasing numbers of native birds
and beasts offer a rich field for
the study of "zoology. For field
excursions the students have the
6,000-acre Alleghany State Park
in the bend of the Alleghany
river; and adjacent, over the
Pennsylvania line, is the much
larger Alleghany National Park.
Students at the Alleghany
School live a healthy life, being
housed in cabins 'with sides half
walled and half screened, but
closeable , by shutters, provided
with stoves and nearby running
water, and electric lights.
LIPMAN'S TO REOPEN
Jack Lipman's store -which
was recently damaged by fire is
to be remodeled and opened in
time for summer school. ,
Several, days ago a fire sale
was started and.it is hoped that
by this Saturday , week all the
old merchandise will be sold.
The store will then be closed for
about two weeks while the build
ing is being remodeled.
