1920 YACKETY YflCK
Off to Pre. Within Two Weeki and
Ready for Delivery in
April.
The Yackety Yack goes to press
within the next two weeks, and will
appear upon the hill during the latter
part of April. The book this year
will be somewhat of an enlargement
over last year's edition, and will con
tain innovations and special features
that will tend to make it one of the
best and most representative volumes
of its kind.
Conditions this year have been
most trying to both the Business and
Editorial staffs. First there was the
difficulty encountered in satisfac
torily placing the printing and en
graving contracts at anything like
reasonable figures. Everything in
the printing line seems to be out of
sight with no prospect of a drop,
and the cost of producing the book
will be considerably greater than in
past years, but fortunately this addi
tional cost is being taken care of
with only a nominal increase in
price. Then Foister's burned down
and with it were destroyed the col
lection of last spring's Baseball and
Track photographs, so that it has
been necessary for the members of
the board to scour the campus and
town for the essentials, but no pains
have been spared and the complete
collection has been gotten together.
Because of the very high print
ing costs there will be no extra copies
of the annual printed this year, and
to procure a copy it will be necessary
to place an order for it with during
the canvass which will be made dur
ing the next week. The price of the
book has been -fixed at five dollars,
which is less than most college an
nuals of its size appearing next
spring.

President Chase Makes Four
Addresses During Vacation
Although at his home in Chapel
Hill on Christmas day, President
Chase has spent the greater part of
the holidays away from Chapel Hill,
addressing the Alumni of Richmond
county at Rockingham, the New Eng
land Society of Charleston, South
Carolina, the Board of Trustees at
its special meeting in the hall of the
House of Representatives in Raleigh,
and the Greensboro Rotary Club.
On December 22, Dr. Chase was
the principal speaker before the
New England Society, of which Rev.
William Way, who made the present
ation speech of the Davie Portrait
to the University on last University
Day, is president. This was parti
cularly appropriate since Dr. Chase
is one of the many New Englanders
who have come South and achieved
distinction. The New England So
ciety of Charleston is a group of
New Englanders who have made
their homes there.
On the 28th, the President ad
dressed the Richmond County Alum
ni Association at Rockingham. This
was one of the association's regular
Christmas meetings placing special
emphasis on the campaign now on
in the State for more liberal sup
port for the institutions of higher
education. On the 30th Dr. Chase
presented the complete budget the
University will soon ask the Legis
lature to pass, to the Board of
Trustees in a special meeting, which
was heartily endorsed; and the
Trustees passed a resolution asking
the Governor to submit this to the
Legislature in his address. And on
the 4th of January the Greensboro
Rotary Club was. addressed.

The Merry Rondoliers, "Lyceum's
Liveliest Entertainers," are bringing
their original "pep program" to
Chapel Hill on the evening of Jan-
uary 11th. Because of the pleasing,
clean, wholesome entertainments
furnished by this group of players
they have become very popular
among the people who have seen
their programs. In their programs
they feature cornet, trombone and
trumpet trio, a harmony saxophone
quartet, orchestral group, vocal en-
semble, comedy reading and sketches,
and many other forms of popular
musical and comical entertainment.
The Rondoliers consist of five talent
ed young artists, namely: William
Larson, Gertrude Erickson, Delia
Erickson, Emily McGregory and
Walter Reed. This group of ver
satile artists promise a high speed
program full of pep and popular
music.
AT THE PICKWICK
On Tuesday the feature present
ed amid peanuts and cigarette smoke
will be "Love, Honor, and Obey."
The film play is a Metro production
and photoplay is forcibly presented
by an all star cast. Enid Bennett
comes to the "Pick" Wednesday
night in the Paramount Artcraft pro
duction, "The False Road." "The
False Road" cast Enid Bennett a
peculiarly novel role. She is a pret
ty girl-crook, who after thrilling ad
ventures is persuaded by her sweet
heart to desert the path of crime and
seek happiness with him along "the
straight and narrow."
How the blunder of a young doc
tor in needlessly cutting off both his
legs when he was a little boy, so
embittered a man, that his life be
came a cunning campaign of hate(
and destruction for society, is the!
graphic theme of "The Penalty," by
Gouverneur Morris which comes to
the Pickwick on Thursday. The act
ing of Lon Chaney which was so re
markable in "The Miracle Man" is
equally as fine in this powerful photo
play.
Dr. J. M. Booker, professor of
English in the University has an
article in the October 30th issue of I
"School and Society," on "Syntax 1
and Citizenship."
The writer states that "The men
tal discipline of the class- room is
sadly down at heel. And from what
we can hear, this deplorable condi
tion is nation wide."
"All we say is that the mental dis
cipline of students needs tightening
up, and that we have in mind a de
finite means for the desired end.
That means is more of the plain
old fashioned pine-board school edu
cation, without the shingles, of
course, but with a plenty of the old
time subject matter, namely, syntax,
paradigms and equations."

At dusk on Thursday evening, the
campus lights, faithful things, were
burning, while a light shone in
Alumni, no doubt left burning to
symbolize the spirit of enlightenment
emanating from that edifice. A few
lights in the old buildings, marking
the domiciles of the sojourners, or
left burning by some in their desire
to flee from Alma Mater, cast dim
shadows through the mist.
At the hour of six, a senior, zeal
ous for nourishment, emerged from
the darkness, and scurried to
Gooche's emporium of gouging. A
sign, "Oysters on Toast, 95 cents,"
swerved him from his intent, and he
hastened to the village hostelry,
where after a wait of only 46 min
utest in a cold room, he secured
eight beans and a bottle of catsup,
as well as a cup of debilitated cof
fee. Supper over, with gnashing teeth
and gnawing stomach, he started
again for Gooche's, but whom should
he meet in front of the post office
but another exile, a senior as him
self. Steadfastly, with tears of emo
tion in their eyes they approached,
and clasped each other frantically in
a fond embrace, and pledged them
selves to tide the spirit of the cam
pus over till the new year. A third
senior arrived, and these three or
ganized a movement and made them
selves into a triumvirate in which
each held a high office. j
By mail-time, the remains of the-
campus, numbering about 10, had
assembled in the post office. The '
latter was assailed by the faculty and (
townspeople who entered gloatingly,
with their families as though they
had scored a triumph in entering the '
federal building, and wrested a 1
prize from the student body. But
the students, avengeful, began in-
trigues which terminated in their ,
getting invitations out to dinner, so
that the faculty was indirectly and,
unknowing routed and defeated. j
Late that night, at 9:15 to be
exact, long after Gooche's had clos
ed, the triumvirate held vesper ser-!
vice on the steps of the post office '
and sang "Silent Night," and "How
Dry We Are." Response was made
by an impressive whoop in the dis
tance, from one who had gone to the
extreme and imbibed the holiday'
spirit too freely.
But now comes the most touching
event of the season. Some enthusi
asts of the younger generation, had
attired little electric light bulbs in
gaudy crepe paper, and had strung
the things over the holly tree west
of the Inn. Indeed, the community
tree on Christmas Eve gave the
whole village a touch of cheer. The
most appealing event occurred when
the little village urchins carrying '
tapers paraded around the tree with
the enthusiasm and zeal of so many j
young terrapins, and sang "Silent
Night," but in pitiable emulation of
the triumvirate of the evening be
fort. By good fortune Old Santa (falsi
fied and burlesqued by a young vil
lage Beau Brummel, G. Denny) was
up in the Inn at that time, having
chosen the buildings with most
chimneys and least fire as a suitable
place to descend. Only the most
productive and paradoxical imagina
tion can conceive his surprise at
finding the group assembled below,
and as he came down the steps glee
fully, the sophisticated, young ter
rapins flocked about him in exact
terrapin fashion, and displayed as
much interest in him as a sausage in
a meat shop displays in the customer
who buys it. -
As might be expected, a crisis
was reached a moment later, when
a young village brat, true to form,
committed arson by setting fire to
Santa's whiskers with his candle.
The children danced with glee at the
prospects of a bonfire, but Santa,
with presence of mind, whisked the
whiskers off his face so energetically
that his whole face came with them,
and some of the more recent addi
tions to the faculty who had been
raised elsewhere thought that Santa
was actually, injured. After the
crisis, all lost interest in Santa, ex
cept the young members of the
faculty who were asking him about
the North Pole, the crowd gradually
dissipated, and Santa's reindeers
were no doubt rocked out of town
by the happy faculty children filled
with the holiday spirit.
The next morning, the triumvirate,
upon observing that Charley Woollen
had let the Christmas tree lights
burn all night, fell over with amaze
ment and was unconscious for three
days.
A few days later some lean med
students appeared on the job to get
off some labs, while the managers
of the publications and others who
actually toil made recurring visits to
the Hill, and these with the few
here held the fort throughout the
vacation for those who engaged in
levity and revelry at home.

MEN TO MAKE SURVEY
(Continued from Page One)
whole country, "a course of study
motivated to known business objec
tives will be constructed and proper
measures taken to insure its introduction."
A group of students in the school
of commerce under Dean Carroll's
direction" will soon begin upon the
survey. They will ascertain the ma
jor types of manufacturins indus
tries in North Carolina, and themer-
cantile and professional business
employing the largest number of
workers. On individual industries
they will try to find out as much as
possible about those industries, their
needs as to labor, materials, power,
and transportation facilities. Wlien
this information is tabulated, it is
thought that North Carolinians will
have a clearer idea of what the
State needs in the wav of trained
workers for these industries and
business and the schools can then
adapt their system of instruction to
provide for those needs.
The survey will probably necessi
tate field work on the part of the
students of the school. The State
committee plans to obtain help
through the local school officials, the
superintendents, principals, teachers,
and high school students, and much
of the actual work will be done by
them.
