The fall quarter of 1937, from the campus ac tivity angle, has been filled from orientation to exams. Nearly every week-end, from the South Caro lina to the Virginia game, was like an event in the history of the University. Intramural boxing, wrestling, and touch foot ball filled in the spaces from Saturday to Saturday. Potts resigned from the University because he had technically violated the honor system. Some-campus enthusiasts appealed to the ad ministration for a student theatre. The impact of the proposal, which never materialized, was felt at E. C. Smith's playhouse in the form of "The Daily Tar Heel's The March of Time." Receiver J. Merritt Lear of the bankrupt Stu dent Co-operative Cleaners suggested that the In terfraternity and Interdormitory councils and the Student Advisory Committee float stock to re establish the business. An indifferent or skepti cal Student body held their dollars too tightly. The idea of a radio studio' was born. Klansman and Imperial Wizard Evans branded us a "communist" student body, but amused us with his "stump'-' oratory. But campus activity reached the boiling poin two nights ago when the Southern conference in Richmond smashed the ideals of educators to de- emphasize athletics. Sometimes, "of course, professors held their classes and reminded us that a University was an institution of "higher learning." ANGLES A few months ago the "Saturday Evening Post" ran a series of articles on how one of Holly wood's spectacular, super-super productions was made. "52 Street" was the movie used as an ex ample. Readers of. these articles will be interested in the finished product, others who liked such pro ductions as "42nd Street" will like this street ap proached from a slightly different angle, and it will provide many relaxation from thoughts about the exams they will flunk in the next four days. Metamorphosis Back in 1912 Manhattan's West 52nd street Now that the Graham Plan has finally been thrown out by the Southern Conference, as everyone expected it would be, it seems to be fashionable for everyone in the Tar Heel to offer his views and more or less j was a lane of stolid dwellings, where respectabil- pertinent comment on the sub- ity resided. It is the metamorphosing of this street ect of subsidization. The cam- through time and mortgages, the speakeasy years pus is getting sick and tired of of the 20's, the depression and the social levelings hearing about it, and so am I. of the 30's, that forms the structure on which Therefore, if you will bear with Walter Wanger has "invested a fortune and me just this once, I will have thrown the resources of his whole organization into bringing it to the screen." The idea came from the fame which has been going to New York's night life center on 52nd street between 5th and 6th avenues. And the pic- 2i CZ3 By Allen Merrill ,1 1 my say, ana iorever alter noia my peace on the subject unless somebody wants to argue about it. In the first place, football has ture is said to contain many of 52nd street's best not been a competition of ath etes playing for the fun of it since the first stadium was built and the first paid coach was hired. Today, with scientific systems, specialized coaching, expensive equipment, winter and summer workouts, scouting, press agents, and nationwide broadcasts, the question of "ath letic scholarships" is only a very minor consideration in the ques- MEN OF THE FALL Maybe the Man of the Fall should be he who has carried twenty hours of classes, three labs each week, played intramural football, fought on fra ternity or dormitory boxing and wrestling teams, been to two or more CPU programs, stood in a registration line, and contributed to the starving Chinese fund. Yet by the criteria of American lovers of the spectacular, a Men of the Fall selection must be based on prominence and acclaim for deeds done. The first seventy issues of the Daily Tar Heel, through size and frequency of headlines and stories, automatically nominate the following Carolina Men of the Fall: Bob Magill, who directed student government capably, and admirably handled student initiative and thought as the head of groups like the Orien tation Committee and the Campus Cabinet ; and who has gone to Rhodes Scholarship state finals. Andy Bershak, who is still drawing down all American nominations (and still winning gold watches) for his spectacular work as football end. Crowell Little, whose football quarterbacking was, in many senses, the triumph of the season. Ramsay Potts, who drew the eyes of the South on this school s atnietic code by resigning m October. Alex Heard, who provided interesting, if bom bastic, speakers for the CPU fall platform. Nancy Nesbit, who headed a successful pro gram for an active group of 320 coeds. Joe Patterson, who battled the argument that classes actually don't exist on the campus and at least got his seniors together. Bill Hendrix, who set the fastest cross-country pace of the season, and made track fans remem ber the days of Williamson. Bob duFour, an active, chairman of the busy Student Advisory Committee, leader of stunt nights, and announcer for the new campus news reel. . Stuart Rabb, athletic plan critic, ana genera entertainers on the screen for the first time. Line-Up Cast contains Ian Hunter, Leo Carrillo, Pat Paterson, Zasu Pitts, Ella Logan, Sid Silvers and others. - Songs include "Nothing Can Stop Me Now," "52nd Street," "Let Your Hair Down," "I'd Like to See Samoa of Samoa" and "I Still Love to Kiss You Goodnight."

I a."- wvw-.- T mf w 1 would not detract one cent that pleased a college audience. However high school kids eat them up so we guess that is the reason they are made. An exception to this rule was the recent Ritz Brothers picture "Life Begins in College." The kick has been that the pictures did not really por tray college life. The Ritz boys must have or perhaps it was only Carolina life. Football is more than a sport. It is a grand show run by the student body, the alumni, and in numerable fans for their own j enjoyment. Far from costing the University anything, it is actu ally a lucrative source of reve- classes and it does not m any way lower the academic stand ing of the college. It does not detract anything from the Uni versity that engages in it, except perhaps dignity and loss of The Y. M. C. A. is reputed to be a Christian organization. And dormitory stores are located on state property. . But the old idea that the Book Exchange and the dormitory stores are exempt from paying the state sales tax are unfound ed rumor. Yet Coca-Cola, chewing gum, paper, and pencils can be bought from the Book-Ex. and -the stores without breaking into precious nickles for the "cursed" pennies. Are these business enter prises breaking the state law? If so, it is a convenient violation for the student-consumer. The government demands 3 of the sales of these businesses and collects it consistently. Warren Haddaway, manager of Steele dormitory, says he pays around $160 per year out of his profits to the government. The reason? A vicious circle, he claims. The Book-Exchange collects no tax on drinks and food, maybe because of the Chapel-hour rush. No dormitory store could com pete with the underselling Book- Ex., so they are not able to charge the tax. Any one store who stuck its neck out to abide by the spirit of the law would go down in financial chaos because of un favorable competition. Legal experts may disagree whether or not the letter of the law is being violated by absorb ing the tax in profits, but what student-consumer wants to press the point? TODAY'S POP QUIZ The following words, in the same order in which thev ar printed, can be punctuated so that they make perfectly good sense, believe it or not. That that is is that that is not that that is not is not that it it is. (I can solve it too, Dr. Adams.) Answer to yesterday's quiz: Eight een dollars and board for 12 days means $1.50 and board per day. In S days of work the man earned $12 and his board. Idle four days a board ex pense of one dollar per day or $4.00 in all. This leaves $8.00, the amount the farmer gave him. The arithmetic appears unassailable, but the farmer did not agree to pay $1.50 per day for the work. He agreed to pay $18 for the 12 days, work or no work. The contract even contained a provision for idleness during its term. So the man was due $14.00. $18 for' 12 days, minus $4.00 for board.
