The Boll Weevil of Chapel Hill seems to be as hard to exterminate as the boll weevil of the cotton field. One hundred j cakes will be given the winners of the cross country, run next week.

Nick's radio brings the world a little nearer Chapel Hill. It is a cu rious gensatiori to hear world 'mes sages from great statesmen, musi cal selections, jand news of the day while enjoying, a cup of coffee in a little restaurant in a remote tdwrt Perhaps the University willi conduct a radio correspondence course in the course of a few years. in business deals, which they claim they have in their possession, de nounced him as an undesirable stu dent and prevented him from regis tering in the University. Believing Brody's connection with the Boll Weevil has and will injure the Uni versity's name they considered him a greater source of danger when not in the University than as a student, and proceeded to crush his chief weapon, the Boll Weevil, by request ing fifteen members of the staff to .-esign or undergo expulsion from the University. The Tar Heel has been unable to secure the damaging evidence against Brody which the Executive Commit tee claim they possess, and conse quently, no clear cut statement of 3rody's guilt can be offered. How aver, if the evidence is founded on established fact (the committee swears it is) we place enough confi dence in the judgment and integrity jf the faculty to believe that Brody is undesirable, and we heartily ap prove of the action in prohibiting him from enrolling." The pressure brought to bear on the student members of the Boll Wee vil staff is another matter, and we believe that the committee's action was entirely too stringent with all due regard to the fact that they were working for the ultimate good of the University, Even if it was the only method by which they could crush Brody, this does not excuse the in justice meted to the other members 3f the Boll Weevil staff who were unfortunate enough to become in nocently involved in the case. It de prived them of a chance to earn money and to derive profitable amusement from . publication work. Getting rid of, one trouble-maker at the expense of fifteen representa tive' s(udehts. is not a just policy; and to make matters worse, Brody was not defeated. He was given a stiff jolt but he intends to continue his money making pet as brazenly as ever..' In the meanwhile the Student Coun cil flayed, no part in ;the little trag-edy-and many of them did ot even know of it until the story was pub lished in the Tar Heel. They remain ed in the background, allowing the Faculty Committee full swing in th procedure, probably assuming that the matter did not come wit5tin their jurisdiction and without precedent to act, on. 'The Executive Committee used the fifteen innocent members of the Bell Weevil, as a tool to accomp Ush the -rout of Brody. i. The ques tion arises at this point whether the councjl, .,aejing in their capacity as guardians' of (the moral conduct of the,, student body and functioning primarily fon the interest of the stu dents, should have demanded a joint session with yie Executive Commit the -observant damsel remarked: "He wasn't like a woman. When he went to sit down, he. pulled up his pants instead of pulled down his dress!" , ' : : ABOUT A FEMINIST Her words are rung in silver From a wrought bell; ' Her eyes are sparkling water From a deep well. - Her cheeks are peaches painted With her own blood; She holds a chisel'd chin up As a god should.

Peter Piper's pickled pepper phraser Called the "Pic" both Picaroon and pimply. A speaker recently elucidated on "Nine Proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem." It would take 'more than nine to make us believe in anything like that. In faet, we know more than nine reasons why. there isn't any such thing as that, or shouldn't be! A much more enlightening sub ject would be, "Nine Reasons Why Is a White Cat!" - With The Exchanges By-P rks The German club will hold the an nual scramble for dance leaders soon. All new members must pay their dues m advance if they desire to vote, hold office, and enjoy the privileges of the club. The Treasurer plans to meet bills promptly this year and would have it known that a good or chestra can not be secured oa prom ises. An early payment on the part of all will insure a good program for the year. The Debate Council is undertaking an extended forensic program this year with several important inter collegiate contests scheduled and oth ers tentatively arranged. Steps have also been taken to provide the fresh men with a strong program with matches drawn up with universities outside the state. It is gratifying to note that the Debate Council is mak ing the most of the blanket debating fee put into effect last year. As sured of a sound financial backing and an attractive schedule, there is no reason why the current year shouldn't witness a revival of inter est in forensic activities. The ath letic teams have boosted the Univer sity's physical prowess, the Playmak ers have advertised its creative abil ity, and now the debaters are given the opportunity to establish its in tellectual side. tee. in an interview with the " Hay shaker, a member of the Faculty Ex ecutive Committee defined the func tion ot the body as covering the ground lett Uncovered ' by the student Council. . How much ground is the student council going to leave bare? Where is the dividing line between student au thority and faculty authority? The utair of last spring when the Exe utive Committee assumed the lead ersnip jn the drinking problem, and the present Boll Weevil problem seem to indicate that the pendulum is swinging back to eventual faculty control, with the increasing size 'of the student body. It is beginning to appear mat we have student govern ment in theory rather than in fact. An occasion is sure to aris. when the two authorities, student and fac ulty, will dash and create an m uarrassing situation ior both. Th xar ueel urges firmly the present Stu dent Council should o;ne to a defi nite understanding with the Execu tive Committee as to their relative urisdictions. . The V iUsrnew Ey J. CsLt Haihy We must hold the opinion here that yelling is lifting one's voice in an undignified manner, for although we have learned to split Carolina we haye failed to. dent our dignity or scratch our self-complacency and split it with spirit. : Following the example set by the Tar Heel in having its office renovat ed the "Davidsonian" enters new of- Fee rooms next month. This change will do much to add to the quality of the "Davidsonian," for it is in tended that all the work of the pa per shall be done in the office. Here tofore the different departments have been functioning in any place where they could 'find the rppm to do their work. I , The kudents at Davidson stand by their college paper. They realize that it. is the wagon that carries the views of the student body and of the faculty, and they believe that it will pay to grease it, to paint it, and to keep it's running gear in good re pair. . : ? . While we are thinking of the im pending erection of the Graham Me morial we learn that the Chambers campaign at Davidson nears the $600,000.00 mark.

In spite of the almost traditional atmosphere given to college boating bv Oxford and other English Univer cities, rnrinff shells and crews of eight were as rare in thi3 country in 1876 as old Spanish doubloons and pieces of eight. Harvard was the first to schedule it among athletics, although the first boy to buy a boat at that university was brought be fore the faculty for his offense. When he pleaded that he did not know any rule that forbade it, they told him that "no student was permitted to keep a domestic animal." They insisted that his boat came under this rule. After the first match with Oxford, however, boating was taken- up by Harvard as a major sport. Advice From Vermont In the busy life that surrounds him the average student at a university is apt to neglect the widening of hi friendship circle. In too many cases he satisfies himself with making the acquaintances of only those in his particular fraternity, or his boarding elub.' or his classes. Again, his friendships may be made only ihrough his church relationship. Since the friendships we make at school afford us opportunities for exchanging ideas with those of oth ers who are perhaps more experienc ed than we are, this making of friends is a broadening influence and is one of the chief gains of a college education. Anatomy as it is studied at Mc Gill University: Ears. An ear is a feature and a part of the face, And as a part of speech it's a noun. It helps you to look natural, And keeps your hat from sliding . down. The cleaner you keep them the bet ter they look, And the batter they probably work.. But it don't matter how good you can listen When people talk Chinese or Turk. Two ears are enough for anybody Without being actually too many. Oh the elephant has the biggest ears And the ant has the smallest of any. It's whole family would break out in cries. Never push pencils in peoples ears, Or stick your mouth into them and shout. Oh if we could choose our own ears They would be less liable to stick! out. More Anatomical Studies: The professor of anatomy at the University" of California says that kissing and "petting" are both im moral and unsanitary. You never can tell what great secrets scienti fic research will , turn up. gymnasium will be done away with.. The growth of the University in tho past few years has made it neces sary to provide some place where the student body can see the games. Heretofore a man wishing to -see a game had to go down an hour or so before it started. Now, with a hard schedule before the team, there will be no such objections and no rea son why it should not be unusually well supported. WORK STARTED , ON NEW GYM Building Will Be Ready for Use in Approximately a Month The steel erectors for the new in door athletic field started a crew to work on the construction last week. The rain held them up considerably but it is thought that this work should be complete within three weeks at the most. With another week, during which time the floor will be built, the building will be ready for use. The athletic building will be built entirely of steel with the exception of the floors. The dimensions will be 310x110 feet. It will contain a one-sixth mile track. There will be room for eight basketball courts large enough for inter-mural games. When tournaments are being held three large size courts can be used at once, with room for 4,000 spec tators. With the building of this indoor field the congestion formerly caused by having the varsity games in the Carl Wiegand, Hill's rising young lawyer, will be very much in evi dence in the Durham County Super ior Court next week. He reports four $10,000 suits, all of which are for damages. Two of the cases are very spectacu lar, and well merit the attendance of the Law School. Two of the cases are Robert Reed vs. P. T. El liott, for wrongful eviction of family.. The other is Robert Black vs. Vick ers for alienation of his wife's affections. FAMOUS FOR Good Food UNIVERSITY CAFETERIA J?

The last issue of the Tar Heel attempted to give an unpartisan view of the situation with a presentation of all its confusing angles, and this issue carries an article by Steve Brody, the, man who hoisted the red . flag. i The Faculty Executive Committee, cting on evidence and affidavits in re2ard to Brody's dishonest methods The "Hayshaker" has thrown ,. other bomb into the st.iirfpnf K First, he organized the "Gilded Fuz," ..u men no saw The Boll Weevil outing out .the back door, before anyone else.

In 1876 there were twenty men to the team, the field was 400 feet long, and th mon were forbidden to throw or carry the ball. It was a game of batting and kicking the ball across the goal, and heaven help the man on the bottom. An effort was made however to make -e game more sportsmanlike by sternly prohibiting spikes.
