BOOING
Note A La
Emily Post
We received a letter yesterday
from Herman Schnell, director
of intramural athletics. Ath
letics was concerned only in
minor detail as Mr. Schnell re
printed for us a letter from Dr.
George McKie of the English de
partment a criticism of the
vulgar language, whistling at
coeds, and discourtesy in general
practiced by many University
students.
Here are two excerpts from
Dr. McKie's letter to Mr.-Schnell:
. . Several of us have been
talking about certain conditions
on the campus and around the
village that call loudly for cor
rection ; but, as the correction is
mainly a matter of education, no
one seems to know just what to
do about it."
"The childish yelling and fir
ing of firecrackers at any time
from eleven P.M. to two A.M. are
common causes of complaint. In
the movies good plays are fre
quently spoiled by exhibitionism
in regard to sex."
Dr. McKie recommends that
a program of instruction be
started in freshman hygiene
classes, cites, a number of epi
thets usually heard in the vicin
ity of the dormitories, rakes
over the coals the practice of
booing at basketball games op
posing players and referees.
"What does this mean?" asks
Mr. Schnell. ".To me and many
others it means that something
exists and we must admit the
conditions described are very
real."
Mr. Schnell makes four pro
posals: 1) More careful use of
English; 2) more gentlemanly
conduct in dormitories, movies,
and at athletic events ; 3) less
embarrassment for boys and girls
who attend public events to
gether; 4) more respect for
visiting teams and entertainers
who are the guests of the Uni
versity. Apropos of the above, the
Daily Tar Heel has printed edi
torials on. this subject a number
of times during the year.
Frankly, though realizing con
ditions as listed by Dr. McKie

are bad, we believe Dr. McKie
adopts an extreme attitude. We
have heard, ere this, of his class
room criticisms of the booing of
Mr. Footsie Knight, who offici
ates at a number of the home
basketball games. Surely Dr. Mc
Kie must know that railing at
the official is a privilege to the
cash customer, student or other
wise, and anyone will tell him
that Mr. Knight holds the es
teem of the most hard-to-please
fan. The booing is good-natured.
Mr. Knight takes it in the same
manner.
It has been reported to us also
that Dr. McKie has lambasted to
ins i;itd tiic xtxao xn ivcvuc
generally, and Prof Bill Stauber's
take-off on Proff Koch's read
ing(s) of Dickens' "A Christmas
Carol" particularly. All should
realize the whole show was bur
lesque, and it's the best student
production to play here in many
years.
But that's beside the point.
We merely reiterate our com
ments of the past two quarters
and ask the current versions of
"Carolina Gentlemen to veer
toward the more-gentlemanly
line of their predecessors a bit
more.
Cursing isn't considered good
taste, especially in the presence
of women ; whistling at likely-
looking coeds rather puts them
at an embarrassing disadvan
tage ; there's little reason to boo
the opposing players before they
come on the floor.
All this we repeat, asking your
consideration, Carolina Gentle
men.
BOUQUETS
They Love
Their Quizzes
Hundreds of students worked
for weeks to put on Tuesday the
most successful Student-Faculty
day the University has yet
witnessed. A great deal of time
and effort was exerted to see
that the extensive, fun-filled pro
gram went over smoothly.
Then certain members of our
faculty assigned quizzes for
Wednesday morning. And in at
least one case, this was the first
quiz of the quarter. These
quizzes were especially hard on

they should: raise their dresses a bit
on the line "And if our legs resemble
