The State, The University, And Hard Times Hard times are upon us that is a fact which cannot be doubt ed. Bankruptcies are common place in our most prosperous cen ters, and the general condition of business is admittedly bad, as almost anyone will testify. The farmers are more discouraged than usual, and even the capital ists are becoming anxious. Prop erty valuation has decreased to such an extent that citizens of a certain county have taken steps to have the evaluations as listed in the taxbooks reduced. And it must be added that there is no indication of an immediate change for the better. When its citizens are prosper ous the state is prosperous, and when the population suffers the ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITORS Jack Bessen Hugh Wilson state and all its direct depend - REPORTERS -' . ents must also suffer. Thus is choice of a committee of the de partment to serve as its head. In other words, with a , full knowledge of the situation, a man of - national reputation in the field of English is perfectly willing to undertake the job of rebuilding the department, even at such a time of financial stress. Our other losses will be filled. The University is going forward on a sound foundation. There are fluctuations in the support of all state institutions from time to time. Men will come here and grow to maturity and fame as has always been the case. I do not like to let this last issue of the Tar Heel appear without thi sort of word. Every forward step of the University of North Carolina during the 136 years of its existence has been a struggle. Its upward journey will always be a struggle, but its reputation, its spirit and its courage have brought it through crises beside which the present disturbance is but a temporary cloud passing over the sun.

No later than 1920 did the University face a similar outlook. Because ! of the economic depression, a re adjustment had to be made, and the progress of the University financial predicament as tem porary, Dr. Chase points out that although the . English de partment is the greatest- suf ferer by reason of recent resig nations, a man "of national repu tation in the field of English is perfectly willing to undertake the job of rebuilding the de partment, even at such a time of financial distress." We agree with the President. temporarily. But. in the period of prosperity which followed, the Um yersity shared in the good fortune of the state as she had shared in the state's revers es. So it seems that now, in a sit uation similar to that of 1920, we must bear with the taxpay ers the burden of depression. "Of course the University must have sufficient funds if its activities are to be carried on in a manner which will be of "Ivan the Terrible" intended to convey by saying that "the type of girl which the men of the University t desire to associate with is not going to be recognized until such time as she has duly arrived on the campus." Now I do not know all of the co-eds of this University, but I do know many of them and the homes from which they come. And I say unreservedly they are worthy to compete with any "visiting girl." I care not from whence she comes, and Carolina students should feel it an honor to have them as their friends. Treat them with consideration, give them their just dues and recognition instead of insults.

I must say that I have been shocked and in dignant many times at the slurs and insults that have been given to the co-eds by some of the so- called "Carolina Gentlemen." I have felt impelled to voice my sentiments ere this, but re frained from doing so until I read the communication "A Wo man Speaks," and the ungallant answers. I glory in the spunk of the co ed who wrote in defense of. the women of the Univesity, and I deplore the fact that there are men in this University rho speak of the co-eds as VVCUUICO. Webster's definition of such is a young girl; usually in an in vidious or bad sense ; female col ored servant." Do you think a gentleman would so insult a lady as to speak of her in such a term? I can not think so. Would they not resent their mother or sister being spoken of in this way? The University boys of my day were of a different mold, and I am glad to know that there are gentlemen here now, as I have had the pleasure of knowing them and I do not believe they have written any of the insult ing articles that have appeared in the Daily Tar Heel this week against the co-eds. Why should it be considered an affront for the girls to have the' advantages of an University education? Do not the taxes of the women of North Carolina as well as those of the men help pay the expenses of the Uni versity? Why should their daughters be denied the privi lecre of "drinkincr deep of the spring of knowledge"? It is so absurd that it is ridic ulous for "R. L." to say the girls come to the University to try to get married ! There is an abun dance of egoism in this remark, and my advice to the girls here and elsewhere would be to steer clear of such a man. As for the attractiveness of the Carolina co-eds, Mr. Carroll says, "if Carolina co-eds rated better there would be more at tractive girls" (here I suppose he means) . Whose fault is it that they do not "rate better" on this campus when such things are said of them by some of these gentlemen (?) in advertis ing a dance, "bring a girl, if you can do no better, bring a co-ed." I also read in the Daily Tar Heel that one student, bragged that he had never had a date with a Co-ed. 1 would like to know . what THIS THING OF JOY RIDING Editor the Daily Tar IJeel : There is a certain class of people who take their keenest delight in joy-killing, which means suppressing or attempt ing to suppress the pursuits of happiness of others. This is really an abnormal pleasure and persons suffering therefrom should see a psychiatrist. The foregoing has reference to the complaint filed in the Readers' Opinion column of the Tar Heel for today. This joy killer says he got the surprise of his life when he passed by a store and saw some students and co-eds dancing in a local store. He accuses these people of dancing for the benefit of the onlookers, while as a matter of fact they did not know whether anyone was -looking at them or not ; and what's more, they didn't care. As for the dancing's being the biggest shine ever pulled at the University, it could hardly be awarded that honor, since the insignificance of the matter would not warrant it. To drop in a music store after lunch and dance off a few records is no evi dence of lack of training, eti quette, morals, or mental sta bility. It is no worse than hang ing around a drug store; in fact it isn't as bad for dancing is a much more enjoyable pastime than loafing. Those stopping in for a few minutes of dancing before going to a two o'clock class do not ask for public approval. In fact they do not consider the public in the least. And why should they? As long as the managers of the store do not object to a little innocent amusement for a short time, students and co-eds are not going' to care whether or not some Puritanical faultfinder ' disaDDroves of their taking a ; little time out for recreation. The argument that the dancing isn't businesslike and the recom mendation ths.t the participants go into dancing for a living is veritably laughable and smacks of the reasoning of a freshman taking English la and making D on the course. As an argu ment it is pitifully weak. It is not the purpose of any student or co-ed to turn the store in question into a dance hall, but with the following points in view, who wouldn't take advan tage of an opportunity to "hop" a little: the managers are very agreeable ; the best victrolas are available to play the latest and snappiest records; the floor is excellent, and after-supper danc ing at the woman's building has long since ceased. In closing, it might be eil to remark that possibly and very probably the "griped person" does not dance, himself, and therefore cannot appreciate how those who do feel about the matter. Usually this is the caSe when such trcmplaints voiced. , : ': .. . g. f. are C. FOR SALE 1923 Ford touring car; engine good condition ; $25.
