STUDENT FORUM have had the whole summer to ore pare, and the fact remains that over 200 men put in applications for work in order to earn their way through college. Why couldn't these men have been notified during the sum mer, so that things would have start ed on an even basis? Perhaps they were. If this be so, then the fault lies not with the management but with the self help students Charging thirty-five cents more a week than laundry women out in Work toward the completion of the Chapel Hill streets is beina- pushed , forward rapidly by a large road force now working in the heart of the town. Concrete cutters are beincr laid and the space between the gutters and the paved roadway will be macadam ized instead of hard surfaced. Ma terial for the work is being placed in the streets bv a score or more teams and the work is expected to be finished before the cold weather stops road building. AT THE PICKWICK Pertinent Paragraphs Has anybody seen man? the laundry- All a man has to do lately in order to spring into instant popularity about the campus is to simply let it be known that he has an extra clean shirt. Vol. XXX Chapel Hill, N. C, October 25, 1921. No. SANITATION AND MONOPni v The Student Forumi column of The Tar Heel has begun to swell with the amassment of grievances and supposed evils that show at least, right or "xuiis, mat menders oi tne student body are taking a decided interest in affairs about the campus. The Compulsory Laundry, of all the issues, seems to have aroused the greatest storm among the men who pour their bitternesses out in printers wenauowing even such things as Pickwick peanut throwing, crowd mg in the Post Office, and inconvenient ponHitinna in h n ci j : uvn UbCCiC UU1II11- tory, the question seems to more than any other stir to madness the mind of the forum writers. The question is as is apparent from the wide interest taken, a very registration many students objected to the added fee on the grounds of further restriction of personal liberty. Since then a ereat .-w.jr uui. uve uujeciea on tne grounds oi poor service. The compulsory laundry system was not established that the Univer sity laundry might have a monopoly of the student business but for reasons of sanitation. Students seldom saw the places in Potter's Field where u.eir domes were washed. Often in these homes there was Hi. dangerous uncleanliness. Clothes came back a bit whiter than before but wun tne possiDiuty of germs always about them. For better sanitary con ditions students were required to send their clothes to the laundry or else back home for washing. This was an excellent provision, but the results nave veeu ir uum tne Dest. The idea in the beginning was not monopolistic but the results with the lack of competition have been definitely bad. In the past the colored gentlemen of the village have been highly active in obtaining for their --imijr ui quantities sumcient to support themselves and . ..uimry xor sanitary reasons had the monopoly and as a re suit worried little whether the student toy. .. v.uuics ur not. . .

THE Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN Lack of funds during the last month has prevented the Y. M. C. A from doing much of the good work planned by its leaders. The president and "'I 7elSP?nt mUch 0f their own money in association work. But with a debt inherited from last year the leaders have had to go slowly in spending during the days since they inherited the office of their predecessors. Among the plans of the Y. M. C.

I have no erudee against the dis pensers of goobers that sell a world of peanuts to the patrons- of the Pickwick every night, and have no desire to see their sales fall off for any reason. As a matter of fact, I rather like the old "srround peas" myself, to eat while watchine the sil ver screen and listening to Charlie ! Weelc an laundry women out in Nichol's melodious voice. But what lt fe.ema. that at least 80me T rn't nnito ,iict t service might oe given. The com- though I have stood the gaff now for ?

We use to do that kind of thing, and revelMn it, when we at tended high school and prep school We thought it was fine to biff some if their rates are higher. A few students claim that the work done is of an inferior quality, some saying that their shirts were scorch ed, others that their underwear was not ironed.

But that day is past for us. J that ' should not ( ccur n-"bin in the The new pump at the old well is all right; but even that doesn't make it any easier for one to ouench his thirst since the old dipper has been removed. We wonder if the state had any other idea in mind when it sent the convict gang to Chapel Hill than that of simply completing the road? Chapel Hill is soon to have a tea room. With "nickers" on the cam pus and tea dansants down town it would seem that the old village is assuming quite a metropolitan at mosphere. Chapel Hill merchants report a de cline in the volume of student trade since last Thursday. From all re ports the Raleigh shops should be rolling in wealth by this time. The sheer possibility of a fifty cent jitney fare to Durham makes us begin to wonder just when dreams will start coming true. Old Uncle "Booze" of "Hold 'em Bingham" fame was with us again Saturday. This time with a team. however, that needed very little such admonition. Very swiftly yet very definitely during the past few years the Carolina .aj-.uan.cio Have grown irom a local company of folk players to a nationally famous group well known and well praised for the worth of their work. They have done a great work for North Carolina and the entire coun try in stimulating interest in community drama, and in writing and pro ducing plays of their own. For the second time during the life of the or ganization they are giving to the University the plays of authors not x tueir organization out iamous everywhere for their ability as dramatists. The productions of the Carolina Playmakers are always well worth seeing. Perhaps you will see crudities in their work for they are amateurs though with a higher ideal of art than the run of that breed, but you will aIha can. 1. n -L f 1 A. 1 J ...

THE HIGH PRICE OF CO-OPERATION It would seem to us only the correct thing for the Book Exchange that co-operative department store, to publish a statement of their business' liabilities and assets, profits and losses. ' Such a thing is done by both the Athletic Association and the Y M C A. neither of which pry the students from half so much cold cash as does' the profit-sharing store at the back of the Y. M. C. A. building It cannot be that the expenses of the Book Exchange are 'more than We eo to the moving nieturp show now for a little honest recreation in watching Harold Lloyd butt his nose against" the tree and seems Diana Allen's pretty form. We don't go to battle and war with our fellow students. Everybody knows I'm telling the truth. It ain't so much fun to Day twenty cents to get murdered by a fussilidade, whatever that is, of pea nuts. We participate in it ourselves at times, it is true, but what fun did we get out of it. We do it just because everybody else does it, and not because it affords us any special pleasure. I think that we would all rather like to see the custom dis banded. All perhaps except a few little playful fellows that ought to be back - home. But we just don't quite know how to go about getting it stopped. The Pickwick owners don't know whether the students want to see it kept up or not So they leave it to the discretion of the patrons. This is still a university. We are big grown men who like football and baseball and despise French and Latin. We like moving pictures. We still like fun. We like to eat pea nuts. But we no lonsrer t)lav hide and seek, nor throw spit balls while on classes. We have rotten so we like to discourse occasionally along serious subjects. We don't like to be called dignified, perhaps, but cer tainly we wouldn't like ourselves to be labelled "kiddish." The casual visitor to Carolina can't understand this strange custom here. It is a little strange, don't you think. Whatd ye say let s snap out of it. une oi tne victims. S. B. Midyette. ITEMS OF INTEREST The Chapel Hill Country Club, a faculty organization, has begun its new season. Saturday before last the first dance was held and many more are expected before the holi days. The present student orchestra, successors to the Tar Baby Five, ren der the music for these affairs. A news despatch states that there have been remarkably few applica tions for admittance to the Old Ladies' Home in Raleigh this year. A fitting aftermath to a successful leap year. - Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Woolen crave a dance last Saturday night to the faculty and towns people. Misses Hannah and Hester Lily, Rosebud Underwood, Laura Kyle Underwood, of Fayetteville, Alice Walker of Charlotte, Lillian Joyner of Greenville, Elizabeth Grantham of Rocky Mount, and Elizabeth Car rigan of Hendersonville. are sruesta of Miss Louise Buice, and will par ticipate in the wedding tomorrow night. The residents of Steele dormitory wish to announce to their hosts of friends and admirers that the radia tors for their buildings have finally arrived but are not yet installed. On Tuesday night Leroy Scott's famous story, "Partners of the Night," directed by Paul Scardon, will be presented at tne ricKwic. In the- development of this great mystery drama wherein the hero, a detective, does not know that he is in love with a hopeless thief, Scott has presented something unique in pic tures a background which in itself is a vpil tnhln rmnnrnma of New York. The director's portrayal of the whirl ing night life of New York, the great . , . i ll . c i gambling dens ano tne magnmceni ball at the Astor is vivid and dra matic. The most dangerous and sub tle criminal of two continents was in his power. He stepped forward to place her under arrest. She turned and he found himself star ing into the eyes of the girl he was to marry. One climax steps on the heels of another in the evolution of this intense mystery drama with its ' exnuisite. heart-eriDoincr love storv of a detective for the girl he is track ing down. The proeram for Wednesday even ing will include James Oliver Cur- wood s thrilling story of tne north west, "Nomads of the North." Raoul Challoner with his wife, Nanette, and her baby are lost to the world in their little cabin in the northwest wilderness happy in their hiding place free from law's injustice, their only friends a big black bear and a wolf-doer. Raoul had been un justly convicted of murder, but with the help of his wife had escaped from his prison cell. In the hus band's absence a former lover of Nanette, now a bootlegger, travel ing throueh the northwest country. finds Nanette and her forest home and attacks her. One of the biggest momenta in this photo-drama is the deadly struggle which ensues between the villain and the huge bear, the latter fisrhtinff to save the life of it's mistress. The villain, defeated, slinks away and in a spirit of revenge in forms a mounted policeman where Raoul can be found. Then comes O'Connor of the Northwest mounted to take them back. And as man and wife and child, bear and dosr. start down on the trail that leads straight to the gallows their whole wide world bursts into flames. A fierce forest fire rages around them. How they escape impending destruction and the brilliant ending that follows ia left for the audience to see.

As to this state ment, however, we are not able to vouch for it. It should be o-enernllv understood that this is not the only inglorious epithet hurled at the methods used in handling them there.
