T The executive committee of the Southern Conference Mon day ordered the University of Tennessee to show cause why it should not be suspended for fail ure to observe regulations gov erning freshman football. Ac cording to newspaper reports a group of prospective freshman football players gathered at Knoxville, received equipment and more-or-less began early practice. If the reports are true Ten nessee clearly violated the Con ference rule prohibiting fresh man practice of any sort before the opening of the institution. These reports originated during the latter part of August when an Atlanta newspaper reported that a mail clerk had seen play ers practicing at the University of Tennessee. After several days the matter was dropped and until yesterday morning's papers announced the action of the Conference executive com mittee nothing was heard of the reports. Evidently the reports were in vestigated by Conference offi cials. An investigation was necessary after the statement of the Atlanta mail clerk, for he seemed positive in his published statement that organized prac tice was under way at Knoxville. The reports seem to indicate guilt on the part of someone. But hasty judgment should not be given. A thorough investi gation should be made and when the Conference meets here if Tennessee has violated confer ence regulations a stiff penalty should be inflicted. Hasty judgment cannot aid matters and this seems to be an occasion for deliberation. Scotchmen Take Blame For Bare Legs Man has been accused" of in vading the sacred realm of fem inine attire. This went on rec ord in last Sunday's Tar Heel for the first time in history. All grades of bare-legs have been observed tanned, hairy ones, matching the beards of their owners, knock-kneed, menagerie 9 m ' m specimens, curving inward or outward ; it seems there is not a perfect pair of masculine legs on the campus. However, there are hundreds of pairs of legs, concealed in the darkness of 34-inch trousers capable of mak- ing the feminine heart beat fast er. The aforesaid heart should take hope, for the fad is spread ing, and the great open spaces between knickerbockers and shoe-tops are becoming wider every day. The women just referred to have accused man unjustly of usurping this fad. A few hours spent in the library proved this to be untrue. Centuries ago men were walking the streets of Athens and Rome bare-legged while, their wives were at home letting out the hems of their last year's robes. Not even the tips of their sandals were allowed to show ! Many a Roman leg has ; projected from a toga, as its master reclined at a feast. In fact, omen did not have legs, except in private, until the turn of the twentieth century when the invention of the tandem made bustles and trains imprac tical. From the Spartan to the Flora Dora girl is a long hop. Let us pass on down though history from the golden age of Rome to the thirteenth century. We find Robert Bruce amusing Himself by plucking superfluous hairs from his bare knees, while absently letting the cakes burn to a cinder-track on the hearth. This brings us to another great group of men who have toasted their knees over camp fires for centuries the Scotch. Bare-handed and bare-legged they have wrested a living from the stony fields of Scotland, re pulsing all invasions, keeping themselves a free people against great odds. Think of the millions of pounds of yarn they have saved through the years by leaving a gap between the sox and the kilt. And think of the wear and tear on their sheep the high landers have avoided by this simple expedient. This is enough to make every contemporary Scotch heart beat for such keen witted, economical forefathers. It was probably some Carolina "Mac" who started the local boy cott on stockings. With "sox" selling at two dollars a pair, the sons of Carolina should not be too heavily criticized for not wearing them, those thick, fuzzy, itchy cylinders of wool that hold the leg in a vise-like grip. Besides being economical and more comfortable, the fad is healthy, allowing ultra-violet rays to enter where they have not been since the bare-foot days of youth. While it has not yet been tested and approved by the "Good Housekeeping Institute," it certainly has the "star" of ap proval of every Scotchman on the campus. D. B. F. LET'S HAVE A BETTER SPIRIT! Last Satuday afternoon when Carolina played Wake Forest the cheering from the Carolina side was very weak. There were about six times as many stu dents in our cheering section as there were in Wake Forest's. Still the cheering, as a whole, from our side was much weaker. Of course there were times when one could hear the Caro lina side come out strong, but every time the Wake Forest sec tion sounded out one could hear the distant echo which came as a result of extraordinarily loud cheering. I think it would have been quite different f Carolina had started piling up points right off the bat. The reason I say this is because I witnessed the Wake Forest game two years ago when Carolina won by a 65 to 0 count. The cheering that year was two or three times as good as "it was this year, still there was a much smaller freshman class that year. It is easy enough to yell when your team is winning, but the OPEN FORUM THE DAILY test comes when it is losing, or when it is in a tight place. When the team is struggling to keep out in front, then that is the time for us to give our loyal sup port, and notwhen we are in front by six or seven touch downs. Of course, it is a good policy to keep on yelling no mat- ter how far in front we happen to get, but I say the real test comes when we are losing. Then is the time that the team needs our help. Let's see if we can get a little more pep and spirit into the cheering section. It can not do anyone any harm and it will let the team know that we are back of it and will give it more cour age to fight harder Next Sat urday when we play V. P. I. let's give cheers that the team can hear all the way to Virginia. Everybody together now, let's go! J. H. C. Editor the Daily Tar Heel: After reading the article in your paper entitled "Co-eds Re pulse Blond Intruder" dated September 25, 1930, I wish to call your attention to what I consider a most erroneous piece of phaseology and which, I feel sure, after careful consideration, you will also. You referred to an assembly of girls grouped to gether for casual conversation as a "bull session." Don't you think, Dear-Editor, that a fem inine assemblage should be called a "cow session" ? This is not a publicity scheme but is done entirely in the inter est that I have in the school. If you feel you were correct in your phrasing do not hesitate to in form me, but if you are wrong or in doubt please correct it in your next issue. A TAR HEEL FAN. THIS AND THAT '.. .' By ; PHIL LISKIN During the past week my alarm-clock has lost all its pre destined utility, and it is now as useful as a picture on the wall. No, it has not ceased to run. It still tick-tocks as clamorously as ever, but its momentous func tion of awakening me at exactly 7:30 every morning has been usurped by a character which, up to this time, I had always con sidered of minor significance. It it the Musca Domestica, more commonly called a house fly, and still more more commonly called merely a fly. It first began last Tuesday morning. I awoke from a deep slumber to the realization that someone was standing on my left ear and buzzing in a sweet and gentle voice. From there it flew over to my other organ of hear ing and repeated its throaty emanations. Its next point of contact was the tip of my nose where it sat down and rubbed its hands with evident satisfaction. By this time I had grown tired of the performance. I attempt ed to slap the intruder into the happy hunting grounds of its an cestors but, due to my sleepiness, it was my nose that received most of the result. I was fully awake by then, and as I turned to consult the clock, it suddenly quivered, and then delivered a feeble Braaaaangl It had al ready seen its Waterloo. Since that morning, at pre cisely -7:25 A. M., my winged friend has awakened me with his cheery greeting. And every morning, at precisely 7 :30 A. M., the alarm-clock moans its daily Braaaaangl But it is too late. I am already awake. - Now that a night football has come into its own, one doesn't have to bring his liquor to the game in a Coca-Cola or ginger ale bottle. A black or brown flask is almost invisible in the dark. The lack of hearty cheering at TAR HEEL Saturday's game was rather no ticeable. I do not know whether the spectators were too interest ed in the game to cheer, or whether it was too warm to yell. However, I have a plan whereby the Carolina cheers can be sent roaring and crashing into the stands as never before. At the next game, when it is time for a cheer, two loyal Tar Heels should approach the gen tleman at the amplifying ap paratus. One should have the strongest pair of arms in Caro lina and the other the strongest voice. Strong Arms will ask the gentleman with the microphone for a match. As he reaches into his pocket, Strong Voice will grasp the "Mike" and proceed to knock the spectators off their seats with a mighty Carolina yell while Strong Arms, will do his duty by holding the surprised announcer to the ground during the rendition. Kenan Stadium will then be treated to the mightiest yell of its existence. There is only one drawback. The announcer may say : "Sorry, I don't smoke!" Monday's Greensboro Daily News tells us that $50,000,000 in cash has been rushed to Ha vana to stop a run on Havana banks. The University of North Carolina could also use several million dollars " to stop the run ning of some of its best faculty members to other institutions. CO-EDS DISCUSS BULL SESSIONS There is a legend that a freshman was wandering about this campus aimlessly, trying, to solve a disturbing problem. Finally he called on an upper classman for consultation "Why did a bell ring every hour?" Now here is a story about one of the much maligned co-eds. Three of them, one old and two new, were making their nightly pilgrimage to the library. The moon and the stars were up, which is quite beside the point. Suddenly there was one Gabri elic blast of a horn. The con versation turned to strange wind-instrument sounds. One girl spoke of a set of bewildering calls she had heard. The second year co-ed asked if it had sound ed like a cow. She in her wis dom knew it was the fire alarm. But before she could begin her spiritual work of mercy by in structing the ignorant, a new girl had volunteered. She said, "You know, I'm not sure, but you have heard of bull sessions I have. I think maybe that's part of the ceremony. Carolina Students Pass Pharmacy Exam A total of 13 University phar macy students passed the state board examination given in the early summer. Twelve of the 13 passing were pharmacists and the 13th was an assistant 'phamacist. Only two, both assistant pharmacists, failed. " ; mose passing tne examina tion for pharmacists were : J. L.

The enroll men has increased steadily. Dur ing the last nine years it has con ferred x325 bachelors' degrees and 88 masters' degrees. Five doctorates have been conferred in tVr last four years, two being awarded this year. Last year the resident enrollment number ed 422 and the graduates 94. There are seven members of the school of education staff who devote their entire time to giv ing instruction at classes held regularly at various centers over the state, under the auspic es of the University extension division. Classes in extension are conducted on a semester (half-year) basis. During the first semester of 1929-30 seven full-time and three part-time instructors conducted 56 profes sional courses for teachers in 28 communities of the state. There were 917 individual students en rolled and 1564 registrations, which meant that some register ed for more than one course. The figures for the second se mester were equally impressive. The total registrations for the year was over 3,000. Those were professional courses conducted for teachers in service. Of the 1172 teachers in schools who were taxing correspondence courses last year, 793 were en rolled in the school of education. The University's training school has been made possible through the generosity of the General Education Board of New York. -In May, 1926, this board granted the University an ap propriation of $75,000 for a five- year period for the purpose of enabling the school of education to improve its facilities f or the training of high school teachers. The school of education officials immediately entered into an agreement with the Chapel Hill school board tq make use of the local public high school as the training institution for the school of education. Other important adjuncts of the school of education include the bureau of educational re search, which under the direc tion of Dr. M. R. Trabue con ducts and encourages scientific research in the public schools; the teachers' bureau under the direction of Secretary I. C. Grif fin, which annually registers from 300 to 500 teachers desir ing positions and places the majority of them; the High School journal, which goes to high school teachers and librar ies in 43 states and eight foreign countries; and the departmental library which has more than 2, 000 volumes and several thous and reports and pamphlets.

G.JOHNSON WRITES OF LIFE ON SEA ISLANDS (Continued frem first page) These were all influences work ing on the negro, only. It is not a history that a negro could have written of his race. It is infin itely too orderly in form and substance. The book represents a new system of though that is about to prevail over an old. Not so long ago we generalized incess antly and catalogued unreserv edly. Then, we would have asked Dr. Johnson, '"Is the negro hap pier in his isolated home?" And we would have demanded an an swer of a single word, without any qualifying sentence. The answer would have been half right and half wrong, an exceed ingly dangerous answer. 'Dr. Johnson explains that no reply is possible. LOST LOST: A brown wallet con taining about six dollars. Lost between Western Union and Mrs. .Humphries; Reward"$3.00.
