will be bettered in an immeasurable de

season shortened.

Vol. XXXI. Feb. 9, 1923 No. 32
THE TIME TO ACT
Reconsideration of the circumstances
that surround the halting of the state's
governmental machinery as a result of
the controversy that has arisen over
the condition of the state's finances
causes the Tar Heel to believe that now,
more than ever, is the time for the peo
ple behind the educational program of
the state, to get busy and organize the
facts to show the Legislature that the
state, in its wisdom, must give the mon
ey asked for in the budget requests.
The Tar Heel, in the last issue, said
that if there is a five million dollar defi
cit in the Treasury, as has been main
tained by one group of men, even in its
great passion for the University, it
could hardly expect the state to appro
priate the money originally asked for
by President Chase. We still realize
that this is true, but the more we have
read concerning the situation and in
our talks with people who ought to
know far more than us, the more we are
convinced that Governor Morrison is
correct in his calculation that the state
is in a sound financial condition, and
that there is a five million dollar sur
plus in the hands of the state.
And now, while the investigation is
under way and before the Legislature
is called upon to act on the appropria
tion requests, the time has arrived when
everyone can get busy and start to
work in an effort to show the state that
the University is in need of all the
money it asked for, and that it will be
seriously handicapped if it does not get
this money. Let us convince them with
bare facts that if the state is able, it
could make no graver error than in re
fusing to appropriate the money to an
institution and cause, the merits of
which cannot be doubted.
The medical school issue is unchang
ed, pending the action of the Trustees
next Tuesday when a consideration will
be made of the several proposals in
hand. Charlotte and Durham are both
anxious to have the medical schools, and
both cities have made attractive offers
embodying totally different features.
There was talk for a time of placing
the school at Chapel Hill as a part of
the University system, but this plan
has been practically discarded altogeth
er, and it is fairly certain that the
school will not be placed here, under
any circumstances. The present two
year medical school of the University
will remain intact, however, regardless
of the decision of the Trustees.
The Tar Heel is not in a position to
know all the advantages and disadvan
tages attached to the Durham and Char
lotte offers and canot state its attitude
in the matter. With sufficient data con
cerning both plans in hand the Trustees
will doubtless wisely accept the better
offer and the most attractive plan.
That the time has come when the
state is in need of a good medical school
and is able to support one the Tar Heel
fully believes, and hopes that the pres
ent proposition will go through without
a hitch in the way of lacking finances,

ARTHUR STATTUCK'S VALET
OUT-TOGO'S HASHLMUBA
EVERYBODY MAKES
MISTAKES
In glancing over this column in the
last issue of the Tar Heel, horrors to
note, we discovered three grammatical
errors in the lead editorial. We hardly
know how to account for this miserable
lapse of the King's English, but we
come back with, the plea of the Greens
boro News when it editorially referred
to "If Winter Comes . . . " as
product of Keats, to wit, that we "real
ly know better."
TAB HEEL MISQUOTES TALK
MADE BY PRESIDENT CHASE
(Continued from page one)
GRADE WILL BE BETTERED
WITH LESS "RUSHING"
The Registrar's report of grades for
the pr.st quarter shows that ten of the
fifteen national fraternities at Carolina
made poorer records than during the
fall session a year ago. "The frater
nity men say," comments the Alumni
Review, "that this bad record is due
to the constantly multiplying duties of
rushing freshmen during the long sea
son." Fraternity men are almost all gen
erally agreed on this question and de
rl'.ra that if the Trustees permit the
Pan Hellenic Council to provide a short
er rushing period they will have more
time to devote to their studies and bet
ter scholastic records will result.
There is at present a petition pend
ing action by the Turstees presented by
the Pan Hellenic Council which re
quests permission to initiate freshmen
In the fraternities. The University has
outgrown the present fraternity system,
and the Trustees should grant this priv
ilege, which will be better for both the
fraternity men and those being ' 'rush
ed" by the fraternities.
maintenance, the reasons for them, the
fact that the Budget Commission had
cut both requests, added that the Uni
versify was embarrassed by the cuts
and was doing, and proposed to do, all
that it could do to secure its full re
quest, and finished with a statement
that the students could be of assistance
through the channels of the county
clubs if they would meet with the
Alumni Secretary.
"It was neither pitched on the wild
and sensational plane that your re
porter implies, nor did it contain or
imply statements that he includes. The
statements that the University went
about its presentation 'in a half hearted
way' and that the 'Budget Commission
pronaniy judged from the spirit m
which the request was made that the
University would be satisfied with much
less than it was asking" were neither
made by me nor were they in my
thoughts." -
It is a known fact that the Budget
Requests made by the University this
year were the results of long and close
study and conference, with a careful
analysis of the University's situation.
The attitude of the University and all
University folk, in general, has been
given the widest publicity ami the en
tire matter lias been one of the calm
and tireless consideration. The requests
have not been made in the sweep of
iin enthusiastic' propaganda, but made
on the assumption that the Legislature
and members of the Budget Commis
sion are aware of educational needs in
the state and want presented before
them the facts surrounding the Uni
versity's particular ease. President
Chase wishes it known that he has not
the least desire to depart from such a
procedure, and the Tar Heel sincerely
regrets that the inaccurate story, dis
torting the President's views and state
ments, was printed in the last issue.

Trinity gave Davidson a sound drub
bing at Charlotte Tuesday by the un
exeoted score of 39 to 27. From the
games already played by teams in the
state, it looks like they will line up in
the following order when the season
closes: Carolina, Wake Forest, Trinity,
Davidson, Elon, State, and Guilford.
The Lynchburg Elks defeated Florida
34 to 1!) Monday night. Campbell, form
er V. M. I. forward, landed ten field
goals against the Floridians.
Virginia's quint will appear at the
Kyniiin Gymnasium February 24 for the
first time since the Orange and Blue's
overwhelming defeat of 43 to 12 in 1021.
West Virginia University won from the
Old Dominion 17 to 14 recently, but the
latter triumphed over V. M. I. 20 to 8.
The 1I23 Virginia baseball schedule
includes nineteen games. The Char
lottesville outfit goes to Athens, Ga., for
a game with Georgia on April 30, while
Cornell comes south for a two-game
series with Virginia on the Nth and 10th
of April.
The American legion five of States-
ville is one of the strongest in the state.
Inning defeated Charlotte Y. M. C. A.
and other fast quints. Tripp, an old
Cornell player, is the leader of the
Statesville offense.
Trinity has called out the battery
candidates for early spring practice. Ten
men reported to Coach Steiuer the first
day. Sanderson, Dempster, and Deal
are among those working out regularly.
Jimmy Simpson, the port side hurler, is
participating in basketball and will not
be out until the cage season closes.
The neighboring Methodist institution
promises to give Carolina the most ser
ious opposition of any North Carolina
team on the diamond this year. Trinity
will be represented by practically the
same nine that came so close to winning
the final battle on Emerson Field last
May.
Wake Forest has lost Saxe Barnes,
Ellis, and others of the 1022 squad.
An indispensable part of Arthur Shat
tuck's traveling equipment is Lorenzo,
his faithful valet, returned to him after
three years of service in the trenches.
Lorenzo is an Italian, but he has learn
ed to speak a fluent French. Likewise,
Lorenzo is ambitious to learn English.
That he has made progress is indicated
by the following dignified epistle, writ
ten on behalf of Mr. Shattuck to his
manager while he was a patient at St.
Mary's Hospital in Bochester:
"My dear madame:
"Mr. Shattuck thanks Madame very
much for this morning Madame 's let
ter. He is very glad his season it is j
looking to him already favourable.
About of the operation of the large
reclame, he have not any objection to
do, and he let to Madame full liberty
to treat of it like how Madame thinks
better, and he nprccid her new idea.
"Mr. Shattuck is feeling better every
day and we hope soon he can lives the
hospital. The day before yesterday
when for the, first time they arc trying
to have him go up from the bed for to
install him in the rock chair, he ex
pencilled so bad pain then we cannot
find in this side of the hell, therefore
they have not could. Yesterdav eve
ning they was repeated again the oji

I've heard the songs of pessimists
songs of sombre hue, sung by those who
look about through spectacles of blue;
and I used to greet their wailings with
a sneer; but now, alas, I have seen the
crib forsaken for the lure of flowing
gas.
Once I viewed the gentler members
of our race with veneration; now I've
joined the morbid chorus and I curse
this generation: and you must admit,
this world is coming to a pretty pass,
when the foot deserts the cradle just
to step upon the gas.
Ancient Koine, in all its splendor,
was a mighty wicked town, ami Xero
sawed a wicked fiddle while 'twas burn
ing to the ground; and the mothers of
the Romans shook the shimmy in the
grass, but they never left the cradle
just to step upon the gas.
Once, the home was high and holy
place of joy and peace and rest; wife
and husband worked in unison to fea
ther up their nest: now hubby gives the
castor-oil and stirs the sassafras, for
wifie's left the cradle and she's step
ping on the gas.
Law and order, peace and plenty
once were round on every side: now
it's havoc and commotion while the
fair ones joy-ride; and many a traffic
cop has had his ear shot full of sass
for interfering with their right to step
upon the gas. ,
So look out, mule-teams, trucks and
flivvers; pedestrians, beware! The higl
ways now are things of danger death
is lurking there! Always stop and look
and listen; step aside and let her pass,
for the foot that rocked the cradle
now is stepping on the gas.
PLAYMAKERS ARE HAILED
WITH DELIGHT 01 TRIP
THE M. D. ROAD IS
MIGHTY DM TOUGH
(By J. E. FARRIOR)

Dwellers in Well Known Desert
Return February 16.
Modem' Turkish girls no longer live
secluded lives. They are working in
offices, some as bank clerks, some as
bookkeepers. Many are studying medi
cine and electrical engineering and oth
ers are going in for agriculture. All
are preparing for careers of usefulness.
The "charshaf " or veil has been modi
fied to a mere scarf, extremely charm
ing and attractive in its simplicity.
A 13-year-old Ogden, Utah, school
boy has trained a wild cat to follow
him to school each day.
Three of every 10 persons living be
tween 50th and 28th streets in New
York City are drug addicts, according
to a prominent physician formerly at
tached to the state narcotics division.
The Carolina Playmakers are inarch
ing to the sea, laying waste to the co
horts of loathed melancholy in the be
nighted valley of tho Cape Fear and
nightly triumphing over skulking skep
tics in the wilds of Eastern Xorth Caro
lina. Up to date they have played in
Raleigh, Wilson, Goldsboro and New
Bern, and everywhere they have been
enthusiastically greeted with sizeable
and appreciative audiences. The re
mainder of the tour comprises Green
ville, Farmville, Wilmington, Fayette
ville and Durham, with a home perform
ance of the tour program at tho Chapel
Hill Playhouse on Friday evening, Feb
ruary 16.
The sprightly nature of the current
tour program, with two comedies and
only one tragedy, has been generally
hailed with delight. The press in those
places which the Playmakers had pre
viously visited with their usual pre
ponderance of murk and gloom com
ments most favorably upon this change.
The play "Agatha" by Jane Toy
seems to be the hit of the trio on tour,
just as it was the cream of the recent
performance at the Playhouse. "Wil
bur's Cousin" has nlso proved vastly
popular, especially so at St. Mary's in
Raleigh.
Probably the most significant press
comment so far made upon the perform
ance of the Playmakers is that of Nell
Battle Lewis in the News nnd Observer.
She concludes her review of the plays
with the following remarks:
"Nobody is particularly interested
u whether the Carolina Playmakers
produce perfect drama. The fact that
they produce drama at all, plays which
not only show to large houses through
the State but which entertain them as
well is reason enough for sincere praise
and thanksgiving.
"As representing the most interest
ing and by far the most promising ar
tistic effort in North Carolina, the Play
makers are worthy of serious consid
eration, of a warm welcome and of
loud and hearty cheers. They are cre
ating the drama of our own people;
rough, of course, in spots, a bit crude
here and there, but fresh with a heart
ening spontaneity. They are doing
what nobody else in the State is doing
with even perceptible success they are
expressing North Carolina in creative
art. There is unmistakable tar on the
heels of their Muse. If the Playmak
ers are anything at all they are hap
pily indigenous, they are native, they
are ot the very desert soil of that
Sahara of the Bozart which, by the
grace of God, they may yet make to
rejoice and blossom as tho rose."
Who among us knows tho wuy of the

Unlike the most of us, he rises early
nnd goes to breakfast for he knows that
he will have need of strength in the day
that lies before him. Then at 8:30 he
plunges into the grind and comes not
out until 1 :30, when he refreshes himself
with dinner and goes after the mail.
Then, verily, a letter from bis girl re
calls the fact that he lives in a civilized
country, and be repairs to his room to

the bell calls him to the grind, whence
