: lMuch ado about -nothing," .said re:
sorter Hanev to the Chief of Police
when questioned on the 'supposed
flogging case.;,
An informal journalistic club has
been formed under the direction -of
Mr. Louis Graves limited to members
of the Tar Heel staff only. The na
ture of the meetings is a round ta
ble discussion i of newspaper 'work
with constructive criticism of the Tar
Heel as the objective point. This
organization was originated to make
up for the lack of University instruc
tion in journalism this quarter and to,
improve the qua'ity of the Tar Heel.
Several radical departments from
the traditional news policy of the Tar
Heel are sure to result from the new
club which should meet With; the ap
proval of the, student readers. One
of the innovations will be the intro
duction of world news tid bits in the
Exchange column, on the assumption
that a student newspaper should not
be restricted to affairs of the col
lege realm alone.
Saturday was a large day for the
Carolina football teams with the var
sity, freshmen and second teams
pounding out impressive victories.
The cake run proved to be a de
cided success as shown by the hearty
and unfeigned plaudits of the specta
tors who seemed to enjoy the novel
ty of the event. It required a vast
amount of detailed work to stir up
keen interest in the run, and the
credit goes to John Purser for di
recting the event and conceiving the
unique idea of cakes for prizes. In
cidentally, it ie a big tribute to the
women of Chapel Hill, who were
kind enough to bake the one hundred
cakes, that none of the cake winners
are in the Infirmary.
If-Justice W. P. Stacy accepts the
appointment to the deanship of the
University Law School, he Will more
than satisfy the members of the Exe
cutive Committee and the students
who are acquainted with him and his
brilliant record. The latest reports
state that his love of the University,
the atmosphere of Chapel Hill, his
many firm associations here, and the
great opportunity before him of de
veloping and inspiring young law
yers, is sure to tarn his steps this
way. It is natural that he should
well consider the proposition since he
is a comparatively young man' whose
legal talent and personal charm as
sure him of bright future, but the
University is greedy j. enough , to
claim him for its own and will be
genuinely disappointed if he does not
accept.
UNIFICATION OF STUDENT
BODY
In a recent chapel address Presi
dent Chase reviewed to the student
body the phenomenal physical growth
of the University within the last few
years. This rapid growth was seen
to be amazing. For this reason it
has a deep meaning which may be
interpreted in many lights.
Not only does this great growth
mean that the people of the state
realize more keenly the value of high
er education and that they are will
ing to toil harder and pay higher
taxes; it means that with this hun
dreds of boys are today at Carolina
who would riot have been here ten
years ago under the prevailing con
ditions at that time. . What does this
mean? It necessarily infers that the
cost of education is, within. the. reach
of every class of citizen ; ' it means
democracy in education.
This brings us to the problem which
is today Carolina's chief student prob
lem, viz, that of unifying into a stu
dent body, endowed with a feeling of
brotherhood which is a tradition of
Carolina, twenty-five hundred men
from all sorts of economic and social
classes. It means that if we would
have unity and . real college spirit,
we must view men from a bigger
point of view than ever before. It
means that Carolina men must judge
their fellow students more and more
on a basis of individual merit and
character, and not on a basis which
will tend toward a caste or clique
system.
With this great physical growth of
the University we must reshape our
social organizations here on the cam
pus. No man can fail to be proud
of a noble family lineage and there
is no greater heritage except that
with noble birth comes noble charac
ter. The advance of civilization is
toward a greater recognition of char
acter and ability than toward a re
cognition Of family lineage. If Car
olina is to have and to hold her tra
ditional unity we must' realize that
many students come here handicapped
both socially and economically. These
men 'may not be versed (in the latest
of fashion or tbiey may even, lack
polish along some lines yet they are
here with a firmness of purpose that
charaArilwi - the 'real mart. ' ' i i
No Carolina man should be segre
gated a class syptevi' unless his
own character places him there.
" Many students regard what is
known as the Carolina spirit) d joke.'
And it does seem to be a farce when
we view the 'distinct -classes which
are clearly visible today on the cam
pus, the reason that the old spirit
is getting to be a "flat tire" is be-
cause there is too much snobbishness,
there are too many of us here who
live, -in a tub comparatively;, we see
only the small area in which we
move and live and fail to realize that
bigger than brotherhood in any. cli
que or class on the campus is a broad
er and greater harvest to be reaped
from ' becoming' aii' integral part in a
live and ever growing student body
moved by genuine college spirit and
fellowship.

Old timers on the' Tar Heel Staff
would not know the neatly papered,
comfortable office us modern bull-
slingers works in. In and before the
days of "Dice" Daniels and Bobbie
Grey, the delapidated rendezvous of
the campus literary artists would
have! made the Pickard Hotel attic
look! like a millionaire's drawing room
in comparison.
Typewriters that, could not have
been sold for junk smeared pages of
effort. No tables, no desks and no
radiators, nothing but a time worn
and much used cuspidor eased the
eye from the utter barrenness and
bleakness of the room that should
have given inspiration.
Two brand new Underwood Type
writers, four large and substantial
tables, four chairs and a large filing
cabinet show that the Publication
Union has been at work. Artistic
pictures to adorn the walls are to be
hung soon. We hope they hang well.
Where there was only one feeble light
in the old office we now have a thor
oughly wired room.
Besides the improved1 appearance
of the office the addition of a tele
phone in the near future will aid
greatly in making it , more of a. mod
ern newspaper office,
An effort has been made to make
the room so attractive that the mem
bers -of the staff ' will be drawif'to
spend more of their;1 ,time,;,ini it.
Thereby effecting much closer asso
ciation and co-operafibh. The"' Tar'
Heel is trying to keep pace with the
rapid growth of the University.

know any more jokes?
We note with shivers the annual
advent of cold weather and with high
glee the perennial coming of gal

And now a Co-ed has blossomed
out in knickers fastened above the-
er-ioints! As Biondello might have
said it in the Taming of The Shrew;
"Was ever man so mocked?
"What's in a name?" If a new
Carolina comic ' is attempted, we sug
gest that it be dubbed. "The Phoe
nix."
1 Yes; dear Freshmen, the Phoenix is
that fabulous bird who rises on the
ashes of his dead self, spreads his
wings to Heaven and 'lives for five
hundred years!
As for dubbing, we were our
selves dubbed "Boboi Barnum's Wild
Man," in ar article last week by no
less a personage than the Editor of
our Tar Heel, himself. Bobo! Bah!
Dodo! That's for you!' We christen
you "Editor Dodo," arid remind our
affectionate readers that a Dodo is an
extinct bird, having' a big bill and a
neck running on lip into its head.

A contributor overheard our fa
vorite hen squawking the other day,
and he reported to us as follows: "I
know my eggs," said the Hen-What-
Duz as she kicked the china nest egg
out of her nest. .
Our campus, tonsorial artists are
frequently intrigued into parting with
quite a bit of service, for, the paltry,
customary twentyrfive cents. For an
example: :; j Vi'vi' '!,';'
Booloo: Gjve me a hair-cut kinda
heavy behind; land round-looking.
' The Stupid Barber: , I don't quite'
get you? '
Booloo: Cut it so 111 look like
President Chase!
"It js to laugh" when we view the
shapes and sizes in underpinnings
that the knicker-f ad reveals. Recent
ly, a spindle-shanked Freshman was
sporting his !new short pants in the
rmit-village of Durham. We noticed
quite an excited rabble about him;
on approach,! we queried ' the cause,
and our answer was: "There's one
o' them college follows over yonder
walking around without any legs!"
'
Why doesn't the Y, or someone in
terested in ; suffering humanity, in
augurate a movement for student
relief? "Shorter hours and less
work!"
We take this occasion to' announce
a series of essays to -appear shortly
in' our Colyum. The first will, grace
the pages of the next Tar Heel; its
title will be "The Nonsense of a Col
lege Education;" following it will be
an essay on "The Reason of Man."
By the way, "The Reason of Man"
is really a big topic, just what is
his reason? If some of our budding
psychologists would help us, before
we start our essay, we would be ob
liged. We have already decided what
his reason is, and if someone will
be so good as to send us an essay
that expresses our own ideas we will
print it and will furthermore give a
prize of 50,000,000 German Marks to
the successful essayist!
In case the Marks are not avail
able, we will substitute a nickel.
The famous Chapel Hill cake-eaters
had a work-out Saturday.
The Infirmary was open for busi
ness Monday morning.
One of the backfield men on the
Maryland Freshman team certainly
had a bright mind. When a play was
made he would watch very carefully
to see which way the ball was car
ried, then, after the play was over,
he, would sing out blithely: "End
run," or "Through Center," as the
case might be.:-

ALEXANDER NOW
TRINITY COACH
Succeeds Herman Steiner Who
' Is Made Head of Physical
... Department
Coach W. A. Alexander, who
coached the Carolina freshman foot
ball team last year and who accept
ed a position with the Liggett and
Myers Tobacco Co. after his contract
with the University had expired, has
now taken up duties as football men
tor of Trinity j College to succeed
Herman Steiner. Conch Steiner evi
dently was not producing the desired
results for 'the Methodists, his
charges having lost three straight
games.
Rumors had been heard around the
campus for : several days in regards
to a change in the coaching staff of
the institution over the way, but
none were official reports. The Sun
day' issue ' of the Greensboro News
carried a story to the effect that the
above - change had been made, stat
ing that Steinei- "got the gate" after
the Virginia game, in wheh his team
suffered a severe defeat. Reports
from Trinity hive it that Steiner was
relieved of his duties as coach be
cause he did not keep the proper care
of his men. However, since the for
mer Syracuse player is to be retain
ed as head of: the physical depart
ment and will have charge of the
physical condition of the squad, there
seems to be some inconsistency in
these reports.
The new coach, who will take
charge of the Blue Devils along with
Coach Burbage, is known to be a

developing a winning team for Trin
ity. He has a great passion for
coaching. This is evidenced by the
fact that while he was here, he coach
ed everything that he could. When
there were not any University stu
dents to be coached he would turn his
attention to local high school athle
tics. His love for coaching was so
great that when the call came from
the Trinity officials he could not re
sist the opportunity to take up coach
ing again. In his own school days
at Washington and Jefferson he was
an all-American pick by many sport
writers for end position.
