We will make good imme diately fi the advertiser does not, Vol XXXII. Nov. 23, 1923. No. 19 The invitation tendered the Caro lina team by the Trinity squad to attend Saturday's game at Durham was a courteous and thoughtful act in view of the recent difficulties aris ing from the Carolina-Trinity game. The installation of Alexander , as the Trinity coach has undoubtedly helped to heal a nasty sore. . While the Man of the Wilderness is playmaking through the sandhills, a young man who calls himself Dum Du has been authorized to carry on with the Wilderness column. Af ter persuing his column you will prob ably observe that Dum Dum isn't as dumb as his self-imposed name might indicate. Charles Hodgin, the Davidson play er who received a broken leg in Sat urday's game, must have undergone a pleasant antidote for his physical pain, when a cart-load of sympathetic letters from his fellow students reach ed him. What is a broken leg com pared to the loyalty and sympathy of a host of firm friends? As an added attraction to the Caro-lina-Virgina game Thursday, why not stage a pushball contest between the faculty and trustees with the Legis lature to play the winner? The Gov ernor would officiate, of course. stationed at vantage points to receive contributions and give out the red cross buttons, the symbols of gener osity and Americanism. Narrow minded and self centered students will dodge the solicitors, see ing no immediate return for dona tions, but those who understand the broad service of the organization will contribute cheerfully and will feel the better for it. The Red Cross not only has served to uplift suffering hu manity in America and foreign na tions, but also has assisted 5600 ex service men here in North Carolina, has spent $163,592 aiding thousands of disaster victims in the south last year, and Red Cross nurses made 24,562 visits to North Carolina homes where sickness and disease threat ened human life. Its courses in First Aid, Life Saving, and Home Hygiene are vital contributions to the welfare of the state. President Coolidge says in praise of the Red Cross: "The American Red Cross is the embodiment of prac tical idealism, with a deeper faith in spiritual things, tempered by hard common sense. Our country could secure no higher commendation, no greater place in history than to have it truthfully said the Red Cross is truly American." AN OLD SOURCE OF TROUBLE APPEARS ONCE MORE An old bugaboo to the Student Council and Chapel Hill merchants has bobbed up again with unusual violence we refer to the passing of had checks. This disgusting prac tice has been increasing alarmingly for the past few weeks, so much so that the local merchants are rightful ly stirred up and threaten court ac tion unless it ceases. One particular merchant, whose name is withheld because of his own request, stated that he received 116 worthless checks in one week, and in one day took in over the counter $130 worth of bad checks. Other mer chants report similar losses due to the carelessness of a few and to the dishonesty , of many students regis tered in the University as upholders of the Honor System. Carelessness and laxity in keeping account of funds in the bank is no excuse, for in this day and time, carelessness is a crime.. And the man who deliber ately overdraws his account is more despicable than the highwayman, for at least the highway robber isn't two faced and doesn't impose on the good will of his victim. Passing bad checks is not only a rank injustice to the merchants of Chapel Hill, who have shown a will ingness to oblige student trade by cashing checks, but it is also a blow to those students who have good credit but can not receive it because of the rotten methods used by the unscrupulous. The Student Council has been aid ing the merchants in running down the habitual bad check passers and re covering their funds, but it is im possible for them to lay hold of all the offenders. Those found guilty of repeated attempts to pass spurious checks should be classed as thieves and dealt with accordingly by the Council. If this doesn't stop it, the Tar Heel could publish an enlighten ing article with a list of names of the habitual offenders. THE WILDERNESS ' BY J. OSLER BAILEY With the annual fall dances draw ing near, the secretary of the Ger man club announces that the new members are painfully slow in paying their initiation fees. These back sliders will be the first ones to com plain if the dances are not up to the usual standard. The German club has incurred a heavy expense to make the fall dances especially at tractive and this expense is met large ly through the initiation fee money. If the new members refuse to pay their dues, they have no claim to mem bership in the club and should not be allowed to attend the dances. ANSWER THE RED CROSS ROLL CALL! The Red Cross, a world-wide fra ternity, ia issuing its annual appeal for funds this week and every stu dent will be given an opportunity to give. The dormitories will be thor oughly canvassed, and girts will be Editor's note: In the absence oC J. Osier Bailey, who is on the Play- maker trip, G. Cardwell is doubling for him. : Poor old (J.) Osier (he is ashamed of his first name, I think) is lost in his bloody Wilderness this week, and we, Dum Dum, have been set to clearing the brush bv our insatiate editor. On reviewing all the similar rot that has been casually tossed out of the Wilderness, we, who are, I re peat, Dum and Dum, wonder why this colyum has been supposed co be hu morous. Henceforth it must never be accused of such a thing. If the editor leaves us in these woods for long they will really become the most serious thing in the paper, next to the advertisements. To start something original we should attack the Co-eds. However, they are safe, as conventionality is the motto of Dum Dum. Since we hadn't Don Marquis' Archy to blame things on, we think this convential ism is the safest policy. . We quote from last week's write up of the Phi meetinir-.

Just a few words culled from the last Pick advertise ment in our sheet. We wish we had one of those "Thirty Thousand Thrill ing Phrases" books. You know, when Rosie turned her blue eyes up to the peanut gallery toward the end of the "Black Roost er" and asked if the audience didn't believe in fairies, Dum Dum actually gulped. Oi, Oi, but she looks sweet! We had three publications not long ago. One was humorous, one serious, and one a newspaper. The comic went up the University spout. The serious turned from washing to poetry and became a comic. The newspaper ought to become a serious. We're all moving up. Let's grad uate! Speaking of poetry, this exaltation of the goddess of the Pick is pretty good. Dum Dum did it. Yee-ow With wanton wilful smiles she draws me, While by her bright blue eye she awes me. She is the cat's. White bosomed, with celestial beauty, More fair than Venus' self and duty, She is the cat's. I'm am'rous of her careless glances, Her snaky twining suplle dances; She is the cat's.

Only six had as many as five compartments, the number that is required by state law; nineteen had only one compartment, no plans being made for the segrega tion of the races or sexes; twelve prisons had no mattresses for the in mates to sleep on; thirteen had no provisions for bathing. All these facts and more were learned by the investigating commit tee, and the Rural Social Economics department think that by acquainting the public with this information they will be rendering a service to the state and to the persons who have to recline in those unsanitary places of confinement which are entirely with out any influence that tend to change a person from bad to good. Those in the Infirmary this week are: Ralph Woodruff, tonsilitis; J. R. Blackwell, pneumonia; C, L. Wil son, malaria. The Phi Delta Chi pharmaceutical fraternity initiated nt long ago. The following men were put through the rituals: P. S. Glass, Kannapolis; E. E. Adams, Kutherdfordton; A. W. Palmer, Gulf. LAUNDRY ANNOUNCEMENT In order to keep up his past stand ard of service and to furnish the stu dent body with clean shirts by the return after Thanksgiving, G. H. Paulsen wishes to call attention to the fact that all laundry sent to the Laundry on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week will be taken care of and ready for the students by their return after Thanksgiving. This will be of service to those men who go away for the holidays as well ad helping - the : Laundry, for co-opera-ton in this will help to eliminate .the" rush which follows such occasions. Dr. F. T. Bachman of the General Education Board was a Tisitor inn Chapel Hill recently. , He confer red with Dr. N. W.

'"Give me u log with Mark Hopkins at one end of it and myself at the other," said, in effect. President Garfield, "and I would not want a better college." But if Mark Hopkins was an inspired teacher, it is j ust as true that James A. Garfield was an inspir ing student. Sometimes Garfield's praise of his professor is quoted in disparagement of present day faculties the assumption being that we as listeners are sympathetic, all that we ought to be and that it is the teacher who has lost his vision. Is this often the case? It is the recollection of one graduate at least that he did not give his professors a chance. Cold to their enthusiasms, he was prone to regard those men more in the light of animated text-books than as human beings able and eager to expound their art or to go beyond it into the realm of his own personal problems.
