GRAHAM MEMORIAL A:
BEAUTY LANDMARK
On the front page of .the., ,1 Tar
Heel is a picture of the- -Graham
Memorial building as it . will - look
when completed. It is a .beautiful
structure which should lord it : over
the other buildings for attractive
ness and popularity.- if. the: builders
do their work as well as the.architeet
when once it takes itsl pliceou the
campus opposite the - Battle-Vance
dormitories. . Lovers of . art 'Have
often remarked .that the campus has
not one real piece of architectural
beauty, a building, that, rerts com
fortably and proudly, with the pos
sible. exception of the old Law. Build
ing. Millions have been . spent recent
ly for buildings of utility value, but
few dollars have been put out to
mike them beautiful. The memo
rial to the late Edward Kidder Gra
ham will be something easy ' to look
at, and situated on the approach to
the campus, should create a very
nicely, giving all the useful informa
tion necessary, from how to behave
at Swain Hall to pointed reminder?
that the folks at" home might relish
a letter once in a while, and it
would be useless to attempt to im
prove on it. However, we offer one
thought that may well be chewed over
and perhaps digested. Last year
675 entered the University as fresh
men, and this year their ranks are
depleted by almost two hundred.
This loss ,' is, due to various causes,
but the chief among them are idle
ness and inability to acclimate them
selves to a place where a man is
truly; 'hi? own 'master; '
The University gives you a bed, a
comloraoie room, ana on opportu
nity to develop what is best in you.
If you seize the privileges ottered,
you will be welcome to return, if not
you are better off at home. Col
lege may well be compared to a
bank you draw out what you put
in with interest to boot providing
your account is honest. This is a
platitude pure and simple but one
that has a clear ring of truth.

WE DOFF OUR HATS TO THE
PUBLICATION BOARD
. Chief among the progressive steps
in student activities this year is the
inauguration of the Publications
Union policy which was adopted by
the student body last spring. This
system will be put to a critical test
in the course of a few months,and
if it results in better publications
and a firm financial footing, it will
remain Here permanently. Thus far
prospects look rosy for the Tar
Heel, Magazine and Yackety Yack
with each one beginning the year
with a guaranteed circulation of
twenty two hundred and a clear cut
system of finance.
. The task allotted to the Publica
tion Board, last spring, consisting of
three students and two members of
the faculty, was a huge one. With
nothing but their own energy and a
vague constitution to Voik with,
they tackled the problem of organ
lzir.g an entirely new system, and
too much credit can not be given to
the determined manner in which
they buckled down to work. The
bulk of the planning and organiz
ation fell to Professors Matherly and
favorable impression to visitors
The architectural splendor of the ! Hibbard, both busy men, who lent
Memorial, however, is only a side I their time and interesFto the pro-
lsaue in comparison with the great ! joet with the result that the Pubn
service it will render to' future' stu
dents. It will be a social center, a
home for the publications, an activ
ities headquarters, in fact it will be
a well equipped student hotel for the
use of all. The poor little Y. M.
C. A. building has attempted to
fulfill this iieed in the past, harder
pressed and more inadequate with
the steady swelling of the student
body. With the completion of the
Graham building, the "Y". building
may surrender its responsibility with
unfeigned reilel to ail and many pre
sent problems of student activities
and soch-I troubles will automati
cally disappear.
A picked group of canvassers have
covered all parts of this state, this
summer and have Thought, back $250
COO in pledged monetf. and favora
ble reports of the interest, the peo
ple in the state are showing to the
new project and their willingness to
give to its construction. . . r t
With the funds on hand, .w.rk on
the Memorial will be' "commenced
this fall. When the : first shovelfuil
of earth is thrown up, the Tap-Heel,
suggests that the University1 declare
a holiday, and that faculty, students
alumni, and all connected with the
University gather on the campus to
watch Dr. Chase take off his coat,
spit on his hands in a good old Irish
way, and apply the shovel to the sod.
Then let every one join in a shout
that may beheard in the far stretch
es of Orange County. It would be
as impressive as a Carolina victory
ver Virginia, and perhaps more
significant.
FOR FRESHMEN ONLY
Carolina opens its doors to some
twenty-two hundred, students amid
considerable confusioriv caused by
the temporary rooming shortage, but
confusion that is salted with en
thusiasm and vigor for a significant
year in all lines of growth. Mora
than a third c? the rt'.?der:t bo??'0' sr
J. T . . ' . .
iresnmen wno cpme into a new
world of thought and behavior that
is bound to be puzzling and unset
tling to them. Some will easily ad
just themselves to their unfamiliar
surroundings and others never will.
Those t!al faH into the swing, form
steady habits, ar.d seTup a definite
goal are apt to return next year;
those that find University life too
perplexing are very likely to wander
in a fog and be eliminated.
The Tar Heel refuses to set down'
a set of rules or a coda of cond'ict
fcr the new men to follow. Th3
cations Lnion r,ow i a reality und
not an idle dream.
The main policy of the board "b to
place each publication on a sound
financial basis, keep accurate ac
counts of expenditures which will be
published monthly in the Tar Heal,
and develop an organized system of
selecting business managers. Thi'j
year it is their aim to keep expen
ses as low as possible, in order to
i.isure a balance" to begin with next
year, but this will in r.o way ham
per the attractiveness of the-publications.
The Board will act o.ily
as an advisory group to the pub.i
cations staffs which will direct and
be responsible for their own editor
i..J organization.,. This much ia sure,
the publication -fee .money, a large
amount, is i:i safe blinds, and every
student will have the opportunity of
cntcking up on its output monthly.
A word might be said here con
cernjng the Tar Heel which begins a
year, on a firmer basis than ever
before. It will be printed in Chapel
Hill at the Orange Printshop, whiih
js wbji equippeq io nancile it skill
fully.' '' With the printing office near
at hand the delays in mailing will
be eradicated, and real timely news
may be offered to the student twice
a week.
WTelcome, New Men!
At this one most blessed time of
the year, its birth in a sense,' we all
join hearts to welcome you. No
matter what we may have to say
later, just now the air around us
seems to breathe but on thought,
Carolina We're back "to hum":
and under our Alma Mater, you're
our new-born brothers. We're triad
to have you!
"New Men" we call you; and you
don't want to be "new". Then
grow old along with us: Seek not
to mistrust Carolina; Trust her: and
when you get to sensing the love
of her stealing into you, a little
shyly, perhaps it may be next
Thanksgiving day as your new blue-and-white
goes down the field; it
may be as you work, and the great
bell rings; or you may not feel the
thrill of Carolina until some day
next spring, when you'll be surpris
ed in the midjt of beauty you hadnt
seen before, anyway, when that day
conies, you'll know you're no longer
new, you're one of us!
The University has built a beau
tiful new County Court House, and
dubbed it the Law Building. Now,
soon may the carpenters remodel our
Greek temple and give us a place
tor laughter and tears a Shrine to
Our Lady 'of the Mask.
It'a the . freshest' Freshman that
has to have the most fifshness
dumped out of him. Common
sense j isn't it?
. Is Leedle D:.::t oack again? As
this goes to pre;.., we haven't seen
him. We mL;s hi.n; and then, with
Leedle D. not in evidence, there is
such a dearth of something to write
a Colyum about. -
Are all the new girls we've seen
who rambled around Europe, mainly
in Spain and North Africa. They
brought back with them a German
police dog of guaranteed pedigree
and enough German marks to wall
paper a dormitory.
J. J. fade, editor of the Tar
Heel last year, and Bill Tyson, '21
of Greenville, who visited France,
Germany, and Switzerland tell stories
of skillfully duping the watchful
customs officers. Two other Tar
Heel men, J. Osier Bailey, '25,. of
Raleigh and James Hawkins, '2TT, of
Raleigh, were included in the Tar
Heel delegation. Hawkins had sole
charge of 38 bulls on the trip over
and reports that the bulls were very
gentlemanly and considerate, as well
as appreciative of hiiTert'orts to bathe
and feed them. After several weeks
in England he worked his way back
to Montreal, Canada, and then south
Dr. Oliver Towles, Professor of
French, returned from a year's
leave ot absence bringing a
French bride, Miss Cecille Long.
Other European visitors included in
the faculty are H. Henry Stabb,
Assistant professor of Romance
languages, and Wyatt Pickens, teach
ing fellow in romance languages.
The co-ed delegation consisted of
Misses Dorothy Greenlaw, Eileen
Hughes, Jane Toy, and MLs Harriet
Cole Taylor who will be in Paris
for a yeas study. As an outcome
of their trip, a titled Italian woman,
Marchesa Capponi, formerly a na
tive of California, became enough
interested in the work of the Caro
lina Flaymakers, as described to her
by the former Co-Eds, to spend thii
year in Chapel Hill studying folk
play drama under Professor Koch.
The young women from Chapel
Hill met her on the boat and spoLe
so enthusiastically about the Caro
lina Playniakers that she acted upon
their suggestion to study here.
Chapel Hill delights in distinguished
visitors, and consequently the ap
pearance of c.n Italian Countess h
causing much speculation, but littl.j
information can be gleaned from
her or Professor Koch.
Last but not leastis the summer
trip of P. C. '"Frondeberger, cheer
leader, and campus comedian, who
shipped on a Standard Oil boat thru
the Panama Canal to Mexico and
California with hia running mate, J

SHOUta sjf HIEVE RESULTS
: THIS YEAR
(Continued from Page 1)
is reported to have said, "is the
finest step forward that I have ob
served in any college. It should
bring the "ETrfversity publications im
mediately to the fore."
The Board met twelve or fourteen
times during the last ten days of
the Srring session in perfecting its
organization and interviewing ap
plicants tor the various business po
sitions. For some positions as many
as tweive applicants were considered
before anyone was appointed.
H. E. Guigou was appointed the
cashier of the Union. He will han
die all the money, keep all accounts
and publish frequent financial state
menis. Mr. feacock and Mr. Math
erly have worked out a complete sys
tem of accounting.
.me euitor-in-cnief of the Tar
Heel, C. J. Colton, was elected by
tne student bouy last spring. The
Board of the Union appointed Aug
ustus Bradley, Jr., as business man
ager, after interviewing about a
dozen applicants. The literary so
cieties elected G. Y. Ragsdale as
editor of the Carolina Magazine, and
H. W. Boone, as business manager.
Boone, however, resigned, and the
Board elected William Summers to
take his place. Hereafter, the edi
tor of the Magazine will be elected
by the student body and the busi
ness manager will be appointed bv
the Publications' Union 2oard. Th
Pan-Hellenic Council elected A l
Purringtfcn, editor of the Yackety
Yack, but Purrington resigned and
the Pan-Hellenic Council elected R
S. Pickens to take his place. Thl'
office will hereafter also be filled by
the vote of the student body. Abram
Weil and C. B. Yarley are the busi.
ness managers.
The business managers will be
paid a moderate monthly salary and
a percent of the profits above all ex
penses. They will have the initia
tive in making contracts, but all con
tracts and advertisement rates must
oe approved by the Board.
The first eight issues of the Tar
Heel will be printed by the Orange
Printshop Inc., in Chapel Hill, if
the local firm is able to do the work
satisfactorily, the Tar Heel will be
printed here all the year rather than
in Burlington. This arrangement
will make it possible for the Tar
Heel to print much fresher and u
to-date news.
The Magazine will be published by
Seeman and Blacklock in Durham
and the Yackety Yack by a lai 'e
firm in Buffalo, N. Y.
The Board will exercise no cen
sorship over the editorial staffs,
which will carry on their work much
as before, though endeavoring to
raise the standards of the publiea-
tions.

Pink Turban Shows
Up in Chapel Hill
The one sight sufficient to cause
a flicker of the apathetic eye in
Memorial Hall Tuesday, was the
strikingly incongruous vesture of a
student from Madras, India, Mr. S.
N. A. Alagrappa, Muthiah. Mr.
Alagrappa's, conventional blue serge
differed strangely from his exotic
head-dress, a turban of a lovely light
pink color.
Mr. Alagrappa has just complet
ed a course in textiles at Clemson
College. Textiles, aayi Mr. Alagrajf
pa, is one of the most important of
mous amount of cotton raised. Af
ter completing the commerce course
here, he expects to go to either Har
vard or Columbia for his doctors de
gree.
In giving his impression of the
University, Mr. Alagrappa mention
ed a general spirit of industry and
the good-will of the students as
the first characteristics of Chapel
Hill to be recognized.
If some of this stuff labelled
"More Truth Than . Poetry" really
has more truth than poetry, the
chance for itj having any poetry
at all seems mighty &lim.
The caste for "When Witches

will be given at the opening of, the
High Poiiit Municipal theatre has
been selected. Miss Setzer will play
Phoebe, George Denny will play
