C. Notice Students When in Durham drop into the aris; you are assured of the cream of motion pictures. YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME (Sy J. Osier Cailey) The January number of the Maga sine offers a somewhat more pleas lug aspect than the baknighted De cember issue. However, we may not, with any critical integrity, wax over- enthusiastic about the new number. it still falls a good deal short of the xceilence that should ba the stand-u-d. for a Carolina publication. Let us center our attention first f air on the editorials. As pieces f writing, we find them mondescript md uninspiring; the Editor has hope essly confused his metaphors in the last paragraph of "Again;" and about the whole of the editorial section hovers an unattractive air of loose ness in thought and construction. On the whole, however, the edi torials deal with vital campus prob lems, and have some things worth while to say. The most attractive selection the Magazine carries this month is the series of clever letters by a Japanese student. They are perfectly charm ing, and although the comments on Broadway are a trifle out of date, Taketomi's delightful philosophy is never shopworn. It would ba well if more of our native writers could be so happy in the choice of word and simile as this friend from ."tks land of cheryy blossoms." The story by Patterson, "Marks manship," is a great , improvement over his last one in the December issue. It is well constructed. He pyramids his episodes up to a final climax in a logical and able manner. Our only adverse criticism is that ;he exposition falls a bit flat, after :he crisis has been reached; and he iailed to explain the incident of the young Indian who saw a spirit. Per haps he was included in the story, like the dog in the conundrum, "just co make it hard." "Fill the Frame" is a good story, well-told The Editor insisted, how over, or running a non-essential sub head to the title that does much to ruin the story. In this instance, the heading states that the story is "ot the O. Henry type." At once .r.e average reader turns to the last par agraph and devours it first of all. Thus, all of Mr. Poston's efforts to J build up suspense to a Climax have an effective dose of cold water cast upon them. Henry Fuller has blessed us with a panegyric on one of our really in fluential University publications. His style is simple, direct, and there fore good. Once in a while, how ever, his grammar skids, and, on the whole, the article could show more originality. Bessie Davenport has written a somewhat entertaining and enlight ening account of a kind of ordeal un familiar to the present critic. As a piece of description it is better done than some of Miss Davenport's for mer stories. Bailey, the author of "Kochomon ia," realizes, himself, after thought ful consideration, that his story is not as well done as it should bs. The reader, is' of prime importance in writing, but in Kochomania the read er is woefully neglected. Some of the constructions are so confused that they have to be read twice to be un derstood. Directness and simplicity are virtues which the story plainly lacks. The article attemps to be stylistic, but succeeds in being some what crude. Now, the Playmakers are a great institution perhaps the most widely known and forward look ing literary organization at Caro lina. If the author had said that, in stead of making so many exaggeraf ed remarks about "our people from Cherokee to Hatteras," the article would have baen much more effect ive. The discussion of "Self Help at Carolina," by Reed Kitchen, is appar ently intended to be jocular. In some places it does wax a trifle com ical. At last we turn reluctantly to comment on what ought to be the most beautiful part of the Magazine, but succeeds in being by far the most commonplace. "Nostalgia" is poor, even as a prose witticism. Cutting it up into jiblets does not make poetry of it. "Fragments" is utter nonsense, so far as we can discover. Now Mr. Eng- jlish, and the author of Nostalgia, af well, probably realized as they wrote that neither of ' these so-called j "poems" would be remembered, say, i two years from now. We state two j years as a hideoua exaggeration. -"Nuance" we consider the nearest approach to a poem in the Magazine. The idea is old, and has been bettor done, but that is excusable. Eoth "To Gautama" and "Rendez oits" have in them a more or less poetic element, but, as in the cast of Nuance, the idea is old and ha; been better done. If, as a critic, we may ba allow ?d to voice a matter that "lies upon our heart, heavy as lead," we would .ike to see someone at Carolina at cem.pt a bit of poetry with rhythm say, as a background. We hold nc brief for poetb form in fact we onsiJcr parts of Taketomi's letters jitter poetry than Nuance but wc suggest rhythm as a last resort to bolster up apparent weakness in feel ing, conception, and expression. The greater part of this hacked-up prose, in which Carolina's under graduate "poets" seem to delight, ha: about it a certain blase odor which ,ve believe the average intelligent nan who likes poetry cannot appre ciate and does not care to -cultivate t is merely a pose, of course, and ike all poses gives an artificial jlang.

Comer emphasized the importance of paying all pledges to the "Y" as soon as possible in his calk before the student body Friday aiorning at Chapel. He said that Jiis was necessary in order that the securing of money for a new "Y'; building will be much easier. It now appears that the "Y" buil ding program will soon be under way aither as a wing of the Graham Me morial Building or as a separate structure, possibly close enough to the Graham Memorial to have access to the social features which it will pro vide. To start this building cam paign the "Y" already has $75,000 promised. This is pledged from a source known to the "Y" only. As this sum was pledged before the war and before the University's enor mous growth, it is believed that quite a bit more can be obtained from this source, thus doing away with the nec sssity of a campaign to secure the badly-needed equipment. But in or der to ask this anonymous donor for more funds it i3 necessary to show that the "Y" has carried out its very extensive program successfully, and one very vital feature of the suc cessful operation of this program is to be able to show a clean finan cial statement. In order to do this it is neces sary that everyone pay their pledges as soon as possible, although they may not even be due now. It is also necessary that the three or four hun dred ien who were not seen during the financial campaign last fall pay the amount that they feel they care to to help show a clean sheet when this party is approached early in February. This clearing up of all pledges will provide running expenses during the year and will be one of the first steps toward getting the fin est "Y" building in the South. Coach Bob Fetzer made a short talk also. He called the students' attention to the fact that it was nec essary to keep off of the courts in the new physical education buil ding while wearing street shoes. He said that it was necessary to keep all the dirt possible off the floor in or der to preserve it. He also urged all men who are interested in track to report to him as soon as possible. script fully a thousand years B.. C. It is believed that this was taken from another such paper which had its origin some thousand years ear lier. It was called "Directions for Knowing All Dark Things," and con tained the rudest symbols of , arith metic and geometry, and answers to a few problems were given, but the process- to sollving them was not. Fractions seemed to be the most difficult for the Greeks to solve. ' Al- ;b;ftie syn.bals had found their way, .a a very ciude inanrto:, -'into the papyrus. : The unknown quantity ' symbol means ''a heap"; addition is a pair of less walking forward; subtrac tion is a pair of legs walking back ward.

At least they are gh-en full credit for its origin. : ELIGIBILITY RULES OF INTRA-MURAL CONTESTS PRESENT MATHEMATICS TRACED TO EGYPTIANS Mathematics today, which has so much to do with practically every movement of importance, can be traced no further, back than the Io nian Greeks; however, its origin was probably among the Egyptians and Phoenicians, because there is no doubt that the first of the Greek mathema ticians were influenced by them. Early mathematics consisted of ob servance and experience, and all rules were founded upon the results of them. A Babylonian set of rules and numbers has been found, and it proves that numbers and numerals were studied, but there is no trace of the origin. The extent to which commerce began to be carried on probably necessitated the use of nu merals. Here again it would seem that the Phoenicians had a great in fluence on the knowledge gamed by the early Greeks. The real mathematical attainments of Egyptians were not learned until nearly forty years ago when a hi eratic papyrus was translated which formed part of the Rhinal collection in the British Museum. Ahmes was supposed to have written the manu- There have been a great many questions lats'y concerning the eligi bility rules governing intra-mural athletics, Thesa rules given out by the intra-mural athletic : committee will settle all points in doubt.

The same rule applies to Varsity baseball with reference to indoor baseball. IV.
