' lesque are recognized literary forms in which these situations may be treated.. No particular importance can be attached to the fact that the Buccaneer will issue a Vanity Fair number. But as an indication of a com mendable trend towards a new and better type of humor, for college magazines, it is important. Parodies of such magazines as Vanity Fair, Time and The Neiv Yorker afford a convenient vehicle for pointing out in a polite manner the natural humor in campus characters and situations. The Buccaneer is on the right track. Let it stay on the straight and narrow. E.C.D. - r Business Staff ' ' CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT Thomas Worth, Mgr. OFFICE STAFF F. P. Gray, Ass't. Bus.

' Thursday, February. 9, 1933 Friday February 10, 1933 Lifting Another School Burden ;v" The proposal of Representative Julius Martin, Buncombe, to the house education committee that the state lift the uncomfortable burden of high-priced text books from the school children of 'North Carolina as a forward step in progress ive educatioii. Modeling his plan after that em ployed by the province of Ontario, the Buncombe county soloii- suggests that the state print its own secondary school text books with a revenue obtained from advertising; It is also suggested that the state interest a large firm such as the Reynolds Tobacco company in subsidizing the project, placing their advertisements at advan tageous points through the texts. This plan, emanating from Canada's central province, has been in force in that section of the Dominion for several decades. All advertising matter, is handled by one concern, Eton's Ltd., one of the largest and finest department stores in the United Kingdom. Texts are produced at an average cost of twelve cents. School children may purchase the year's supply in many cases for less than one . dollar. Eton's advertising, skillfully handled to appeal to both child and parent, is .distributed with reserve and psycho logical discretion. And the result is reciprocal. Eton's has long enjoyed the respect and admira tion of a large portion of the buying public. Our Legislature might well proceed with such a step, though it might take into account the ill effects of undesirable advertising. The plan might best be fostered through the aid of, city . merchant associations, who would designate de sirable and dependable advertisers. Needless illustrations and fancy covers would be discarded and the surplus filled with appealing and stimu lating advertising. ' ( The lower house has named a subcommittee of three to work with the subcommittee from the committee on reorganization, which has the bills relating to text book changes. Perhaps the pres ent spirit of progress in education will father the new project and lift another incidental burden from the shoulders of the tax ridden populace. SPEAKING the CAMPUS MIND To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: In the midst of the brilliant explanations of the proposed plan of electing editors in which the writers take occasion to make known that anyone oppos ing them has no sense, I feel at a loss. According to one we have to fleet the president of the ivory soap company. Obvious ly, the comparison is foolish ; but even if it weren't, soap has the advantage of being able to clean. Another says we shouldn't have any voice in our paper's control because we have no right in the selection of Time's editor! Won der if he knows that we buy Time voluntarily and that a fee is collected for the publications at the business office regardless of our wishes? In an argument no less re markable for its length than for its pithiness one back-slapping Toward ' "' Sisterhood The basketball game between the Chi Omegas and the Pi Phis last Monday night is seen as an excellent starting point for women's intramural athletics. " It has long been a problem on this campus to get better organization and cooperation among the women students. Scattered qver Chapel Hill as they are there is little chance of ever getting them together of ever giving them a chance to know one another. Intramural games would afford a common bond of interest. The interest shown in the Pi Phi- Ghi Omega game by the campus at large is evi dence that games between the different groups ill ii wouia oe wen received. iw " iA Teams formed from the two "sororities.

Recalling the success of the Time issue published two years ago, the campus should look forward to the March edition as a promise of better things in collegiate humor. Editor Mason arid his colleagues recognize the validity of recent criticism of the Buccaneer They are making a sincere effort to improve the tone of their magazine. The stock situations used in college humor magazines are well-known: a boy, a girl, and a dark corner; a boy, a bottle, and a lamp post Besides being vulgar, more often than not, these situations are, worst of all, trite, ordinary, and bawdy, , rather than humorous. They are un worthy subjects for intelligent comedy. There has been and always will be a place for humor in every age and in every place.. Every spriona rircumstance has its comic asDect. It is a worthwhile occupation to point out and elab orate upon this comic aspect: the foibles and .Absurdities of mankind, arising out of natura inkling of a silver cloud.

Yet by some manner which to the' uninitiated has remained a mys tery, they have so far managed to escape the tenacles of the law. For a year and a half, by every legality possible, they have staved off the reckoning of justice. Now the crisis is approaching. If the Leas are permitted" to escape punishment for what they have done, such a condition will constitute an m dictment against the American courts of law. "Booing" - At the Duke boxing matches two weeks ago, the audience dis played most unsportsmanlike conduct in booing the decisions of the judges and referees when against Virginia, at the same time forgetting that we, the Uni versity of Virginia, were hosts and as such were obligated to conduct ourselves in a gentle manly and sportsmanlike man ner. :The same sort of thing has happened at several basketball games. Such" actions should be com pletely taboo. Nothing could be more contrary to Virginia sportsmanship and tradition. Of course we cannot' refrain out siders from making demonstra tions as they please, but in a crowd composed largely of stu dents, such practices would be few and far-between if the stu dent body refrained from them. We must remember that the officials are selected by our own athletic department, and, if their decisions are unjustified it is up to the athletic department to handle the matter. We, the stu dents, should not attempt to ridi cule the officials by booing, and, by so doing, only , make our selves ridiculous. -Virginia Col lege Topics.
