It seems to be the general thing each year for someone to 'write an editorial about walking on the grass; Althqugli the subject is trite and has been worked almost to death, nevertheless, it is worthy of consideration. -. ... , , , .. : Paths are not made in a haphazard manner. The University; possibly employs a man, a. spe cialist in his field; whose-lole ; duty it is to de termine where and when paths should be built. Naturally he puts the.paths where people seem to want to walk -.Many; walkways : have , been made in, the past few. year, . and many, beautb f ul trees have been sacrificed to the fetish of saving steps. But , no ..matter how manynew paths v ate iaid down, , there is always a; number of people who .would prefer to walk on the grass rather; than on the paths. r Tliese people are usually of the pioneer type: pathfinders, so to speak. . ;;,v , -i.; ., . . .. v ;.;:; It is for their- sake, ; that during:. the coming year new "cut-offs" will .probably be built leadr ing to the . library, ;,The foundation .for these two walks has. already, been; laid by the students who have neatly, trampled all ves&ge of, growth from the places where they; want the .paths laid. Several:.ne.w short icutsi .leading to Graham Me morial have to be put in. to satisfy, the needs of those students who , economize on f steps. : w ; . , ; But no, matter how. many L paths are built, thete will . always be. a goodly number, oi stu dents whose perversity demands that they stick to the grass. It is because these students make it advisable, that ; the Tar Heel respectfully sub mits the following suggestion to the adminis tration, and particularly to the specialized path builder: ..... Since the freshmen are rapidly wearing down a sizeable bit of greensward oh their way to and from chapel, that a sixcar as phalt road be built leading from Memorial hall to Murphey. The building of this road would serve as a first step in the direction of an all-asphalt campus, the first in the country. " :V- In addition to V giving the University wide spread publicity as a forward thinking institu tion, the innovation would allow us to skate to and from class. J.B.L. southern law and southern penal systems. One of the most notable examples of this sort of interference was the now famous "fugitive from a Georgia, chain gang case." The refusal of the governor of New . Jersey to permit the extradition of an escaped convict who had im posed upon his good nature with false represen tations of the conditions in Georgia led to a gain saying of the legitimate demands of justice that may be of lasting injury and dangerous prece dent. . . '"Si. . ;,;.i ;v ; -;: :; The action of Judge Lowell of Massachusetts in refusing recently to. permit a negro wanted in Virginia from being returned to that state on the grounds that he would there be unable to obtain a fair trial is another link in the chain of obstruction being constructed by northern j ur ists against the execution of southern j ustice. Virginia's name has always stood for fairness and honor, and there is. no reason to suppose that the negro would not be accorded as fair a trial in the, Old Dominion as in "the' saintly halls oi massacnusetts jusxice wmcn senx oacco ana Vanzetti to death under the most dubious and peculiar circumstances. 1 , . Still more "serious is the .point raised in - the ocoiisDorp trial wnere enorcs were maae xo xnrow put the verciicts pf the- Alabama courts on the ground that no iiegroes were- allowed to serve on ;the jury thus -precluding-itie possibilities of a fair trial for. the negro youths. Every liberal thinking . person, north ; or south, wants to see a fair deal given the'- seven boys,' but- a violent disruption t in the relationship; of the : two races is something abhorrent; arid rightiy so', to every one living in the south: It is easy for sancti monious demagogues in' the north to prate about equality ; they, do not live side by side with a huge negro, population; nor has the north ever distinguished itself for the love and mercy it has extended to the negro. 4 , The north musFriease to place obstructions in the path of southern law and cease also in stir ring up the race issue. -The return of ' a man to a state in which he is' wanted has long been a matter of course Were this not the case every state in the union wouid soon become an asylum for the criminals of other states with results too obvious. to mention. Reprisals by Georgia and Virginia would be .well justified and?. would serve to teach the Moores. and the Lowells that their gestures to the northern, press are , not to be so easily bought, that broadcasted aspersions on the good faith of sister states .will be met with recriminations and interference returned . t ) . : '.;."!;. .-. .... ..... ... . , in kind, with terrible possibilities for the laws of our states and the safety of our people. J.F.A. had the power to fill. There has been some discussion and mis understanding over this ruling. It has been alleged that men who are now in fraternities will be unfairly deprived of a means to stay in school. , First of all let this be under stood ; no fratermty ... man who has been holding a self-help job is going to be deprived of that job as long as , he is efficiently discharging his duty, but no man who has fraternity obliga tions will be appointed to hold a job filled by the self-help com mittee.: r , v.-v,. -.,S;- :'..''' Secondly has , the . self-help committee any justification , for the ruling? It appears that men who can find money or. backing to join . a , fraternity should , be able to find money, to pay other necessary :- expenses or apply that money to schooling! instead of fraternity fees. More cer tainly does it , appear' that; men who can find money for frater nity, fees do riot need job's as badly las jrienwhy,cantJ use the job for, their "necessary expens'esV IriT view of. these reasons the self-help committee ..could not conscientiously avoid . passing this ruling. It is our opinion that the committee is fully jus- tified in its action. B.C.P. . 4 -i. -. Ji NON CAMPUS MENTIS By Joe SUgarmdri Research Project A long, rangy chap , stopped an upperclassman cold with this question : Can you tell me wheth er the: English poet, Coolidge, got a degree from; this Univer sity? , ;;;r;.;..:-l' ,S: - When the two had finally puz zled things out it came to light that the freshman English fac ulty had despatched the lad posti haste to find but what college Samuel Taylor Coleridge had at tended. ';" ;;-' ' Campus Capers . s For the first time in several years the stu dents showed a whole-hearted interest in an athletic team . by their cheering at the Carolina Davidson football game last Saturday. Every time they were called upon by the cheerleaders, they-responded with cheers which were grati fying to a campus which has claimed to be too blase to be moved by anything short of an over whelming catastrophe. However, a good deal of the effect was removed from the cheering be cause, of the activities of one small campus group. . While the Davidson band saluted the Univer sity by playing "Hark the Sound," two neo phytes of the order of the Sheiks were forced by members of the organization to prostrate themselves and shout their characteristic cry of "Allah is almighty." Obviously these men were reluctant to perform, but they had to obey the rules which were given them. Besides detracting from the spirit shown by the student body at large, they showed a spirit of impoliteness to our visitors which was most certainly not befitting the conduct of a Carolina student. If our opponents were polite enough to play our school song, the Sheiks should have at least remained silent during its rendition. The Sheiks, as well as the two other like or ganizations, the "13" Club and the Minotaur s, have been asked before to show xtheir worth on the campus. . So far the only evidence they have shown is their ability to make fools of their neophytes and nuisances of their respective or ganizations. F.P.G. Obstruction Of Justice Within the last year or so southern justice has come in for a great, share of adverse criti cism as well as no small measure of actual inter ference from officials and judges in the north. These men are in many cases totally unfamiliar with the situations they so bitterly decry and are merely seeking publicity by taking a noble stand against the injustice and. inhumanity of Conie to Life, Legislators!' - - v - Repeal of the 18th amendment is now being taken for granted. - "Defenders . of the Faith" such as James K. Shields, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, Ella Boole, and CamMor risoh have been reduced to the comparatively harmless position of piteously and cringingly begging for what they term, "fair play." But what is to come after repeal ? There have been few statements from Mrs. Sabin, Jouett Shouse, or Alfred Smith on this subject; even ess has been issued from the White House. Ap parently, the chief concern of these ardent wet crusaders is to kill prohibition without ever once worrying as to what funeral oration will be de livered over the corpse. It is reasonable to assume that if the leaders have failed to consider and issue plans for liquor control, certainly the members of Congress and the state legislatures have given the matter even less thought. If Prohibition is repealed and a general free- for-all liquor policy supplants it, much of the admirable work of the national administration will be undone. Those who can remember pre- Volstead days and those who have had it vivid ly presented to' them dread anything even re motely smacking of the saloon, the close hook up between politics and liquor, and general un restrained dispensation. When-beer returned the racketeers and poli ticians showed their hand by attempting to con trol its manufacture and sale. In certain states they were checked ; in others they succeeded in making the government play puppy to their in terests. The fate of beer in many cities and states throughout the country may very well . await liquor on the day of repeal. At present that re sult seems inevitable unless the champions of repeal seriously deal with the issue of the liquor aftermath. It devolves upon the men and women who have worked so earnestly to rid the nation of a bitter fifteen-year practical joke to preclude the pos sibility of an even more acid prank being played on a nation which has made an unenviable record in the matter of being the butt of fanatics' antics. J.S. Help Where Help Is Needed , ; , Recently the self-help committee made a rul ing that no man who had fraternity obligations could hold any job that the self-help committee The King's English ; , Fayetteville's budding barris ter came through the other day with a low punch at the Mother Tongue when he told this de partment that he was going to give it a sound "trancing" in ping-pong. Sail on, O, Ship of State! Light of Liberalism In a bright, modern classroom in a town near New York a stu dent was busy reading a copy of the Carolina Buccaneer while the chemistry teacher lectured. Peeved at the obvious inatten tion, the instructor examined the situation and marched the of fender to the high school prin cipal. This worthy defender of the cause of education in America hastily scanned one of Bobbie Mason's tastier creations, peer ed embarrassedly over his eye glasses, and expelled the student from his school for importing salacious literature.

Wednesday, October 4, 1933 GRADUATE CLUB DRAWS UP PLANS FOR YEAR'S WORK The Shirley Graves Graduate club of the University gets un derway with an early program. The entertainment committee under the chairmanship of Tur ner Logan is considering on staging its first graduate club dance on Saturday, October 6. The plans are still tentative. Last fall a great deal of at tention focused on the graduate club when it was discovered that they were conducting an in formal marble tournament. This event proved;. to be quite a no velty and it can: be said with a feeling of certainty that no oth er graduate club in the various universities -. of this , country has instituted such recreation for its members. It was mani fested to be to the members an interesting and entertaining di version from; the regular routine of their . daily work. . With weather permitting the club will again stage such a tournament Due to the fact .that the con stitution of the graduate club has been considered inefficient, ai committee was elected at the last meeting to: draw up a new one. It is composed of Arnold W i 11 i a m s, chairman, H. B. Whitmore and W. G. Carlton. No definite plans have yet been made . concerning the bridge: tournament.. Much enthusiasm has been shown by the mem bers and as the club , contains some of the best players on the campus it should prove to be an interesting event; Eay Kyser Reports Cbmplietion Of Songr , (Continued from first page) , changes in the lyrics that might be made to improve the songs, and added : "Also, if you decide not to use both of the songs (or either, for that matter) don't thinlc you'll hurt my feelings.
