It is this paper's opinion that less than half of the stwtent body read the dai!y papers at all, and a small minority thoroughly. The percentage of signed answers to the Peace Award referendum should give a definite proof of our active interest in a ques tion of world importance, and if the resu'ts are as discouraging as out ward appearances suggest, a wave of reform should be launched. The Bok p!an in bief appears on the front page and the discussion in chapel will offer a thorough presentation of the issues in o:fd. by the time the referendum takes place, every stu dent will have had an opportunity to gain acquaintance with the su'o-je.t. THE Y'S DILEMMA Vol. XXXII. Jan. 22, 1924. No. 27 REFERENDUM ON BOK WILL BE GIVEN PLAN President Chase recently asked the Campus Cabinet to give full pub icity to the Bok Peace Award through all the channels availab'e, so that an in tel.igent vote may be taken cn it sometime next week. This h in ac cordance with the country wide refer endum that has been raging ever since the plan was released to the Press. As the Tar Heel goes to print, arrangements are bzing mado to have both sides of the question presented in chapel by well inform ed professors, a discussion in the lit erary society halls, and further pub licity given it in the Tar Heel, in or der that every student mcy bs sulfi cicntJy acquainted with the p'an to give it an intelligent vote. President Chase evidently wishes to sound the student interest and knowledge of timely world affairs and to stimu'ate thought toward the big things happening b-yond the bounaa.ies of Orange touniy. The Bok Plan which has stirred up vol umes of pro's and con's and which is baing discussed at the present time !y Congress, offers a splendid oppo.tunity to test the student inter est in pub.ic affairs, and their reac tion tj the referendum should pro duce en ightening results. Chapel Hi 1, due to lu unique lo cation, is out of stride with th rest of the world, relying on the daily paper as the chief means of contact. We sit back complacently in our safe refuge from the giddy whirl and take a i-assive interest in national prob lems. Its true that we follow the hectic career of genial Andy Gump the domestic troubles of Jiggs, absorb I the sporting sheets, and perhaps read I the headlines of the live of the day, but outside problems lit tle disturb us. We have our own difficulties and interests, and simply haven't time to keep in touch with national affairs. Those who doubt this condition spend some Saturday ni ht with the literary societies where the supposed y best posted men on timely topics gather for weekly sessions, and lis ten to the hot b asts of siwrlow a.gu ments based on a scant handful of reading knowledge and hard facts. Or ask some chance student his opin ion'! borrow until your present bills are paid," is often chirped by business men. This is a sound enou h maxim, but how can bills be met when your debtors refuse .to pay you? This is the present predicament of the Y. M. C. A. which is struggling to meet its obligations by collecting money from students who sacredly pledped their dol'ars in last fall's campaign, and at the same time is making plans to finance the expense of a wing of the Graham Memorial building as the "Y's" future home. The proposed section of the Y. M. C. A. will cost in the neighborhood of $100,000, which Secretary Comer hopes to ob tain through a private means, but unless the "Y" shows a clean finan cial slate, the dream bubble will ex plode. The "Y" is marking time in its present cramped quarters, patiently waiting for the adequate space that it shouid have been allotted lonjf ago. Expansicn and improvement of "V service is almost impossible in the miserable little building that now shelters the "Y" workers. Yet the Y. M. C. A. with a minimum of equip ment have made themselves indis pensi':Ie to the campus, mainly through their service to self help stu dents and the many thankless duties they render to the student body at large. These facts should be consid jred by the men who have pledge money for the "Y" support when they are ask;d to fulfill their promise. And then isn't it sometimes said that Carolina students have honor? Mr. Coiner states that the pledged Money wi I take care of running ex definite y for an appropriation fo the new quarters. Otherwise there email hops of obtaining the appro lUiaUcn. THE DESERT THE SHRIEK MISS HENDERSON RETURNS Gazing from the snow-capped heights of tha Alps.

The Old Man of the Wilderness opened his 'colyum' last week by apologizing for the compositor's grievous error in writing titles in the previous issue. ' We hereby em phatically repeat same. Further more, he devoted approximately one half of hi3 dept. to comments upon our own first appearance on this page. We have no intention of vice ing versa but before launching upon the arid plains of the Deceit proper ve wih to voice several shrieks - In the first place we object to b? ing catalogued as "an enterprising fellow." This phrase evidently got lost in the Wilderness; properly it would be flung from a mounta n toi.. In the second place we object to the tepid report of our remai-ks u; on seeing our initial windstorm blow ing about through the Wilderness in stead of over its native waste.?. We think what we really did say much more picturesque, not to say awe-inspiring. In fact, the glory of our wrath approached that memorable oc casion in Miss Cates' Cafeteria when we discovered that we had mistaken pig's feet for veal chops. And lastly, though it is no doubt useless, we protest against the ob vious distortion of our remarks in ref. to students of the adjoining hex. We can't quite sem tj place these 'Shebas' of which he spoke (ana sang.) Even- so we cannot visualize any fair huntresses stolking us, not withstanding the statue of the cal endar and notwiUua..ndina: the fart that 'our rival' seems to h ive a gaat deal of trouble in this rarectio.i. We den't know whether he was being facetious again or just plain ciizzy. In any event, our ultimate coinmem is "Piffle!" One great pome Deserts another, don't you think: The hoary old Man of the Woou.i, In one of his humorous moods, Wrote a pome to the ShrieK, And called him a shiek, But he didn't quite deliver the gooUa. .. Nevertheless, the Shriek must con fess that he thanks the dear man iui his words. During the recent process of get ting ourself properly card indee i f , three months in the Sanctorum oi T. J. Wilson, which process doubtless suspect took place in Jie morial Hall, our roving gazj rev " upon an innocent lookinsr tahl v; j. stood apart in so.itary glory. !I.,' sat T. J. himself and here ?at T. "u" HI, and here, between the two, s. t c"au vacant, that is to a. occupied. Whereupon n, .,. gaze nad rested at the moment upon the sarue thin-" y inquired: "I wondei- if cnair is reserved for Ghost?" Ov tue thi I'. Mvt Showing At Jack Sparrow's Will be on FEB. 18th, and 19th, 1921. Wouldn't it be funny if the lino typer, after his peculiar fashion, should set the 'a' in the above Hall as 'e' instead of 'a' in the word Hslt and thereby print H-ll instead of Hall. Wouldn't it be funny 1)1 It's a cinch that we and consequently he would very soon catch H-ll. It seems to have become danger to write anything for publication in the Tar Heel containing words of more than two syllables. In the first place -it is quite likely that by the time they reach the printed page many of the words will have only a hereditary connection with the words of the author. Or perhaps the au thor will be nonplussed to class some of them as even remote descendants of his own brain children. In the second place wo heard the rather weird comment that our first colyum was TOO LITERARY. Ye living and breathing gods! Litera ture has certainly changed since we were a wee lad swinging on the exte. We know there was no literature in that column so it must have been the several poly-syllable words. We stand disillusioned for the 808th time. But, my poor, dear, imposed upon reauers, if there be any left, We defy you to find any literature in this week's breeze. As we go to press it is reported that there are still two men on the campus who are living up to their New Year resolutions to quit smok ing. One of these, however, is weak ening rapidly. . It has only come to our notice since we began this colyum that the ap pearance on this page of the former ly (we were about to say erstwhile) popular 'Students Forum' is these days appallingly infrequent. Some body explained it on the ground that G. D. Goover and Homer Hoyt are not here this year, but that is not sufficient. Where are all the hell raisers of last year and former years ? Where are all the old Toreadors? What has become of the ancient and honored Order of Taurus? If some of you guys would kick up a fuss now and then there wouldn't be so much space to fill with these two ut terly worthless so-called 'colyums . BUDD-PIPER ROOFING DURHAM, oN. 0.
