THE A. AND E. GAME
About fifteen years ago North Caro
lina State College and The Univer
sity of North Carolina met in a game
of football in West Raleigh. For a
greater part of the afternoon they
scrapped on the field, neither side
scoring. Immediately after the game
was over a free-for-all fight took
place on the A. & E. campus between
the two student bodies. Later the fight
was transferred up town.
Last year the two elevens came to
gether for the next time. Both insti
tutions had long been choking under
the accusation that they couldn't car
ry on athletic relations without bitter
ness. They held the contest and there
was no bitterness.
On Thursday they played again.
Not only was there no bitterness, but
the spirit of the two student groups
was superb. Both institutions and the
State of North Carolina are better off
today on account of the resumption of
athletic relations. The State wins.
Carolina wins once, and A. & E.
wins twice, having won the game.
The strongest man (in any respect)
can't help but admire the man who is
stronger than he. The University
team and student body were playing
to win the game on Thursday. But
the whole University is happy in the
consciousness today that through clean
sportmanship the best team won, and
that the winners showed us every hos
pitality and courtesy. We appreciate
it. :
To our team words can say Jittle.
You have written your own chapter,
the spirit and success of which is
epitomized in your standing back of
the goal line with the ball only inches
away and holding it there for three
successive downs, and the entire stu
dent body was there watching and
fighting with you.
The student body rang true. But
rather than sing our own anthem, we
should like to quote from what comes
from an official at the University of
South Carolina to a friend in Chapel
Hill. It is written in reference to the
game between the two Carolinas play
ed in Chapel Hill on the sixteenth:
"I wish you would in some way con
vey our thanks to the North Carolina
boys for their splendid treatment of
us. I have been on many football
field but I never before saw anything
to match the fine sportmanship of
your students. I recall that when we
first secured the L ball near midfield
we completed a neat forward pass for
a gain of about twenty yards. Imme
diately your students gave us a fine
hand of applause. All my boys com
mented on this. It was mighty good
to find such good feeling over a game.
It is the way they should be played."
OUR FUNCTION
In pursuance of the policy announc
ed on Friday, we are today running
the first of a series of statements from
both faculty and students, giving their
conceptions of the Tar Heel, its func
tions, its responsibilities, and its
shortcomings. The article today is by
Mr. Frank P. Graham, of the Depart
ment of History, and who was for
merly Dean of Students.
But what of our opinion de corps?
The daily Chapel necessarily reaches
only one class. The Student Assem
bly is in reserve for special and criti
cal occasions and is at most only a
Kalf assembly. While we are con
gested in the elemental needs of
places to eat and sleep we cannot im
mediately look for a place in which to
meet and discuss in a body. Mean
time the student body is seeking a
way to keep alive and pass on our
unity of life and variety 'of opinion.
It seems to me that the Tar Heel,
Magazine, and Tar Baby in these im
mediate months have a special re
sponsibility because of their almost
exclusive opportunity to reach and
connect the whole student body. The
Tar Baby makes us laugh heartily to
gether. The magazine gets us to
think variously together The Tar Heel
has the primary function of a democ
racy in getting us to know the news
out of which we form our daily opin
ions together. The Tar Heel is our
one common source of news and opin
ion. It now has the potentiality of
being our one complete and frequent
source of integration. The Tar Heel
should not only get all the news but
should also get all the news to all the
students. In the reliable oneness and
commonness of campus news are the
vigor and variety of campus opinion,
are the springs of student self-government.
The opinion maker is great
er than the law maker. John Dewey
says "A nation is a people who read
the same newspapers." The Tar Heel
has the responsible and joyous oppor
tunity of giving us a lively reflection
of our opinions in variety and our lift
in common. The Tar Heel, I believe,
will integrate treasure and transmit
our unity of spirit and our democracy
of opinion. F. P, Graham.
I done in a minute. Money and build
ings alone do not make a university.
The spirit of the students and the
faculty is the vital thing and then the
physical equipment comes in to facili
tate the work, If we become disin
tegrated then we will have to break
over the genuineness of the past and
present University.
And too, our isolation should help
us to keep together as we grow. The
entire student body lives in close
proximity; theeral-8chools and de
partments are together, and inter-lap
into each other. There is nothing in
the program of the University that
will change these conditions; and
there is no likelihood that Chapel
Hill shall become so large as to per
mit the student body to scatter.
Everything- is in our favor. And
al this has been said in order to keep
the students from becoming lax in
their attitude toward our present
difficulties. And then to make this
point.
The balcony seats in Gerrard Hall
have not been assigned. They are
open to members of the student body
who wish to go there and keep in
touch with things. If these are filled
every morning with upperclassmen
every group will be almost sure to be
represented and information can be
successful spread. We can still have
a common meeting ground.
Most students, we believe, are under
the impression that there is no open
room in Gerrard Hall. The balcony
is yours.
WE SHOULD HAVE
We need a college band. We need
Dear Mr. Editor:
The student body has so outgrown
the material-body of the campus that
there is danger of a separation of
the , University into schools, sections
and groups. This disintegration will
not be deliberate or even conscious but
will be none the less inevitable unless
our processes of assimilation keep up
with our processes of growth and con
gestion. Congestion of college dor
mitories may result in indigestion of
college opinion. We get together at
our major athletic games and there
great contests unify and tone up our
it .
At all mass gatherings: At athletic
contests, at pep meetings, on public
occasions, at celebrations. If we had
one a need for it would turn up every
day or two.
Music is the only thing that a mob,
or mass meeting can successfully re
volve about. It will be the heart of all
of our get-togethers; and will be of
inestimable value in our group life.
Those of us who were in Raleigh on
Thursday were struck by the very
definite contribution the band made to
the work of the Tech students. But
there is no use arguing further about
our need for it. That's instantly rec
ognizable. We have fourteen hundred stu
dents, a great many of whom are
trained to play some sort of a band
instrument, and a great many more
of whom would be glad, and could
readily learn.
We have a Department of Music
with men in it who are glad to help
anything of this sort; and under
whose direction the success of a band
would be guaranteed.
We have then, the need, the men,
and the instruction. Let's bring these
together. In the past with only the
need and the men we have had excel
lent college bands. Now we have these
two to a greater degree, and in addi
tion the instruction. The next thing
The Band.
THE COLLEGE CHAPEL
Two weeks ago The Tar Heel at
tempted to create some interest in se
curing more adequate chapel facili
ties. As we stated then, we believe
that in addition to providing a suc
cessful means of getting announce
ments and information before the stu
dent body, a chapel is one of the most
immediate and most effective means
of checking the disintegration of the
student body which has set in. This
disintegration is now very noticeable,
and "should be stopped.
There are those who say that this
is the inevitable that comes with the
increase of the student body, and as
a proof of their contention they point
to the other institutions of the coun
try that are already large and have
no unified student life. But those who
argue this way are faint of heart.
They are not made of the sort of stuff
that has made Carolina what she is,
We can grow in size successfully. As
answer to the argument that other in
stitutions have failed to do so we
should like to point to Harvard and
Yale.
There are two very distinct charac
teristics of this University because of
which we should be able to become
great in population, and equally great
in unity of life. And the only way to
settle this thing is in terms of our
own life and conditions; and not in
terms of Harvard and Yale, nor of
any other institutions of the country
taitnougn tne experience of other in
stitutions may be helpful as indica
tors).
