Vol. XXX November 15, 1921 No. 13 FOR OUR VISITORS On Thanksgiving Day the Uni versity will receive the State, Chapel Hill will be filled to overflowing on that day with peoples who will come to see the greatest football classic of Carolina and Virginia. Friends and alumni, rivals and strangers will come to be with us on that day. People will come who have known Chapel Hill and who will be happy again in. seeing its quaint beauty. The place has for them an attach ment tnat is connected with other days. ; . Others will come who are attract ed only by the game that is to be played between the team of two states. They will come to see the game and will be little concerned about the beauty of the place- but they will find much to criticize if we do not look our best for the crowds that are to come in. .. For both types we must look our best. For the one to find his old love as beautiful as before and for the other to show a beauty and an orderliness unexpected. : The Community Club has selected the period of November 15 to 19 for a clean-up campaign so that the town may look its best for Thanks. giving. . . The club , feels that while the crowd comes to see the game most of them are here long enough to ride all the town and campus. Mr. Pickard will have charge of the general cleaning up of the campus. The Community Club and the au thorities of the town will take an active part in making Chapel Hill spick and span for the day. They cannot, however, assure us of a village as clear nor as orderly of a village as clean nor as orderly co-operation of the entire student body. Each student should realize his own individual responsibility in ucn maiiers as tnrowing paper, fruit peelings, and other trash. The plan of the Community Club is a very admirable one and the least that each student can do is to do his part to make and keep the town nd campus in the best possible con dition for the game that is to bring o many to Chapel Hill. primarily suggested to us by one of the most successful of campus busi ness men. There should be established on the campus some committee composed of represntative Carolina men who should decide on the plans and the men who should be allowed to engineer them. As far as possible they should see that the self-help students are given the advantage in these college advertising schemes, No member of the committee should be allowed to be a part to any one of these schemes. And furthermore, be allowed to be a party to any one the department of economics should be a member to help decide on the advantage of the plan from the stand' point of the advertiser. We believe that such an organiza tion would do much to make the re lationship between Carolina student and Carolina business man a closer and more intimate one. STUDENT FORUM Editor Magazine Writes. November 12, 1921. Dear Mr. Daniels r May I approach near enough to your sacred shrine to request you to publish the following in your Open Forum column in your very es teemed publication? The issue of November 15 should contain this matter. Believe me, I am your very obe dient servant, Wm. E. Horner. (I am keeping copy of my com munication.) Dear Sir: Since the editor of The Tar Heel is so evidently . possessed of more knowledge about the workings and inner organization of the Magazine than I even knew existed, I respect fully reauest that he submit the names of the men -who he said had resigned from the Magazine board in order that I may accept their resignation. It pains me to have to request this information but the "only thing that distinguishes men from guinea pigs is that men will go to those who are wiser than them selves for information." He might even name the men in his estimable publication if he so desires. As to what he thinks of the editor, the editorials, or the policy of the Magazine, I care little. I must in sist that in the matter of facts, how ever, he stick to the truth or let mo in on his inside information about the Magazine. . . ' expressed the idea that while the members of your board might not agree with you they still should not express themselves as opposing you and your editorial views. The question I want to ask-you, Willie, is this, "Am I a guinea pig?" Yours in making the freshmen read us, Dice. . (I am glad you kept a copy of your communication. Now we both have one.) SKETCHES By C. J. P., Jr. Contributions to this column are wel comed. Short articles in prose, verse, or vers libre are especially acceptable. All contributions should be signed and either handed or mailed to the editor. By the way, unless the afore- said editor has received some information that has not yet come to my ears, the next issue of the Magazine will be out the day before Thanksgiving. Any information he can give me about that number will also be appreciated. ADV. Yours very truly, William E. Horner, Editor The Magazine. ADVERTISING ON A RAMPAGE. Almost everyday the merchants and business men of Chanel Hill and Durham are approached by students With schemes for advertising the wares of the aforesaid merchants and business men in the very best pos sible way. Blotters and football schedules, programmes and blotters again are issued from time to time advertising the wares of various firms. ' Very often they are excellent busi ness propositions for the advertiser. But the fact remains that many or the money Making schemes are no less than get rich quick plane of campus capitalists. It is also a fact that the advertisers of the neigbor ing towns are being bled white by these blotter promoters at the ex pense of the bone fide advertising mediums among the student activi ties. Men who have the good of the University at heart have been exasperated by the persistent and continual business proportions of the amateur college business men. '. Such a state of affairs is expen sive for the University and We would like to suggest a plan that was Dear Willie: You have withered me with sar casm, you have crushed me into the dust with well turned phrases that were meant to sting but somehow my sense of humor has saved me from utter humiliation and I am writing you not only to answer your ques tions but to find out things for my self that I wonder at from your letter. I wrote my editorial, Willie, not from violent opposition to your stand on the frip non-frip but because I found that your little idea -was being worried about by certain contribu tors to the Open Forum column. Of course you and I who have been in college for four years know that there isn't ' any euch question but then something had to be done to make people read the Magazine. It was unfortunate that there was no issue on the campus real, radical, and alive that you could have used but I want to congratulate you on the powerful way in which you have dealt with the dead. ' I have been rather worried, Wil lie, about my own editorial column. As much as you I am anxious to have it read. I have tried at the same time to helpi the University towards larger and greater things. This last has been a most dismal fail ure. What I want from you is this: If you have any old shop worn ideas, that can be colored with a few war whoops for the down-trodden, that you don't need please send 'em along, I need 'em. What I was referring to in the sen tence that you are shooting at in my editorial was a conversation I had with several members of my board. Jake Wade wrote the head line for the review of your second born brain child. In a conversation with him you said that as a mem ber of the Magazine board he should not write such headlines as "Editor Magazine Waves Red Flag." One down. At your board meeting you On the Playmakers. To the Editor of The Tar Heel: Sir: There has been recently some unfortunate misunderstanding, on the part of various persons, of the methods under which The Caro lina Playmakers operate. Fearing that this failure to understand the machinery by means of which The Playmakers' organization carries on its work, I should like, in order to prevent any possible unpleasantness and to stop the growth of any mis apprehension, to make a public state ment of the means by which plays are selected for production and ac tors chosen to perform the various roles. As I do not know how wide spread such feeling is, I desire,' with your permission, to use The ' Tar Heel to get the matter clearly before the entire student body, so that everyone concerned will have an op portunity to acquaint himself with the facts. The original plays produced by The Playmakers are written in the University courses in dramatic com position, English 31 and 125. The students in the courses and Profes sor Koch, with the advice of various other competent persons, select those plays which, in their opinion, are ready to be given to the public at an authors' reading. The plays so selected are then read publicly to an audience, part of which is the play committee, five members of the faculty, representing various depart ments. These gentlemen decide which of the plays read are, for various good reasons, to be produced. The primary consideration is always dramatic excellence, but the practi cability of production is usually also taken into account. After the plays have been decided upon, a call is given for actors to try for the vui.'ous parts. Any per son who presents himself and evinces a desire to try for a part is given an opportunity to show what he can do. The casts are selected by a com mittee large enough to give a vari ety of points of view and composed nf iwrRnn fit vn fA inf.tfr&S - Tfc is not dominated by any one or two j & persons, and the actor is chosen by g a ma jo:- ty vote, taken after due de- j liberation ard free discussion. ThejM actors cast by the committee play p the par unles it is found, after j p a Mimber of rehearsals, that they & are incompetent, in which case, they'll are removed by the director, and'" .. . . . . 1 tne part is tinea as the exigencies of the occasion demand. I can re call no case in the last two years in which the director has had to S reverse the decision of the commit- g tee. ' After the plays have been cast t H by this committee, they are put into m rehearsal under the direction of Pro-jp fessor Koch and his assistants. S I hope that what I have said will g remove any doubts that may have H been in the mind of anyone. The M work of The Playmakers has been ' tss carried on successfully for the past three years because the directors j have had the sympathetic support s and willing efforts of the students 1 g and people of Chapel Hill to aid and j encourage them. If the work is to a go on in the future with the same p success, it is necessary for all of p us to remember that the task and s the benefits are not for a few per-'g sons, but for all those who are willing to expend their energies and what-,M ever talents they may happen to ' j have on an object that demands and M can use the best energy and talents of many persons. Very truly yours, Dougall MacMillan. Chapel Hill, November 10, 1921. Quite a Difference. Reminiscently we glance through the year book of the late Richard Henry Battle of the Class of 54. Perhaps the most striking thing that we noticed, outside of the form of the book itself, was the manner, so markedly different from today, in which the men wore their hair. Long and wavy they wore it, nearly Indian like down almost to meet the high standing collars that completely en veloped the lower portions of the face. The pompadour was in pre dominance, and there were none of the tightly slicked, carefully parted coiffures of today. Apparently the uses of oils was unknown in that day. Queer knotted cravats also form ed a striking contrast with the shoe string affairs now in evidence, and frock coats were generally worn. Large scarf pins were worn by near ly all, and in one case the badge of one of our foremost fraternal orders was observed pinned upon a flowing cravat. The form of the book was itself a revelation to those uninitiated into the mysteries of the past. There was small resemblance to the elab orate college annual of the present. Only the pictures of the graduating class, elaborately done in steel cuts, were in the book, which was in 12 mo. size and of about forty pages. There was none of the space devoted to the lower classes and college ac tivities that today occupies the ma jor portions of our annuals. SAILORS OF THE UNKNOWN SEA By R. L. Gray, Jr. Oh have you heard like a mournful bird The sigh of a loose cross-tree, As it sobs in the night of fear and fright On the breast of the Unknown Sea? That chartless Sea whose mystery, Nor ships nor men have found, For monsters creep in the hidden deep, And drag the galleons down. Gone are the men from their roof trees Gone from their homes away, Gone are the men that sought the sea, In the merry month of May, And women's eyes are strained and . red, -And childish voices crack, For the drab gray mist enshrouds the sea. And starless nights are black. A SURE REMEDY. A high school professor in an east ern North Carolina town recently told the following to one of his classes of which I happened to be a member. The professor had been looking through some publications when he Pertinent Paragraphs Willie waxeth warm. It would seem that the Bull-she. vistic editor is not content with merely waving the red flag editori-ally. He lately grows very, very per. sonal, and makes many, many naughty assertions. At first we looked upon the whole affair as merely bigoted opinion of. fered up in the interest of cheap publicity. Now we are convinced that it is simply a series of harmlessly child ish ranting. But it would seem incumbent that i the editor of a literary colleee miK came across an advertisement stating jjcation put away childish things, that a certain company, upon receipti of only twenty-five cents, would send Tne Tar Heel board fast ap- to the purchaser an apparatus which i proaches the state of a complete me was guaranteed to kill every iiyinagerie, about his house, n used according to directions. The professor promptly bid fare well to his quarter, and in a few days a small package appeared in his postoffice box. Eagerly enough he tore it open and to his wondering gaze there ap peared an instruction sheet and two small wooden cubes, one white, the other blue nothing more. Taking up the paper he read the instructions: "Catch the fly, put him on the white block and hit him squarejy with the blue one." The professor neglected to say whether or not he ever tried out the apparatus. W. D. White. ITEMS OF INTEREST The preliminaries for the debate with the University of Pennsylvania will be held in "Phi" Hall on Mon day night, November 81, at 7:30 p. m. The query is : "Resolved, That the Transportation Act of 1920 be so amended as to empower the Labor Board to enforce its decisions." The finals for the debate are to be held tin Philadelphia on December 10. For according to the Student Forum artists we already number an ass and a guinea pig among out number. The cold snap put a crimp in the variously planned hobo trips to Winston-Salem. After being firmly convinced that the Magazine editor would " antag onize everyone in creation we are beginning to wonder how long he will be able to get along with himself. As usual the end of the southern football season approaches just as we get our first touch of real football weather.
