DUBOSE
HEYWARD LECTURER
AND POET
Eight out of fifty books on the
vocational shelves in the library are
devoted to journalistic subjects. Who
ever ma'de out the list of vocation
al books was evidently aware of the
fact that no courses in Journalism
are being offered this year.
Perhaps the new bell system fore'
casts the removal of the Old South
bell for there doesn't seem to be any
reason for installing the new system.
The old bell can be heard from every
class room providing professors in the
remote building don't raise their
voices to a deafening pitch and drown
out the rich peal of the Old South
reliable.
It would have been far more prac
tical if the electric bell system had
been installed in the dormitories in
stead of the class rooms, the first
bell to ring at eight. This would ma
terially increase the eight-thirty at
tendance on rainy mornings.
An intellectual treat is offered
Monday night when DuBose Heyward,
recognized by leading critics as one
of the South's moving spirits in ere
ative work, lectures on "The South
ern Poetry Movement." Mr. Heyward
as the chief figure in the most pro
ductive oasis of the southern literary
desert should give an informing talk
on a subject that has been bandied
back and forth ever since Mencken
made it the object of his vituperat
wit.
Southern literature has long been
held down and disparaged because of
insufficient response in the South and
the more alluring field the North held
out to what creative artists the South
produced. With no stimulus from the
people and no organized poetry
groups, southern literature depended
solely on sporadic efforts of individ
uals who could not, under the exist
ing circumstances, breathe the pure
spirit of the South. Then with its
back against the wall, the South
seemed to awake from its slump, and
through the conscious efforts of young
writers various poetry societies were
organized. The Charleston group,
headed by DuBose Heyward and his
colleague, Hervey Allen, sprang into
national prominence and became rec
ognized as the leading literary center
in the South.
Mr. neywaid's verse has appeared
in leading literary publications and
recently he has been in great demand
as a lecturer. His visit here is dis
tinctive in that he is the first south
ern contemporary writer to speak in
Chapel Hill. And what should make
his appearance more attractive is his
reading from the best known of his
own poetry. Those who have heard
him say that he a pleasing lecturer
and infectious in his enthusiasm for
the' development of present iliterary
movement in the South.
The University rarely is favored
with visits from writers who have
made their mark, mainly because stu
dents are disinterested and unappre
ciative of genuine talent. The same
condition that has held southern lit'
erature back exists here and this in'
difference has prevented the Lecture
Committee from billing great lee
turers. Mr. Heyward, coming as a
prophet and historian of the southern
literary movement, should bring
message of vital importance to the
intellectual south and to this Uni
versity as one of the South's leading
educational institutions. He de
serves a full attendance by dint of his
name and established ability.
PERRINGTON PRESENTS
A PLAN TO TRUSTEES
Speaking of "eight-thirties" and
late risers, last week a young pro
fessor sprang a new one that should
go down in history. The roll call re
vealed the absence of an habitual of
fender who happened to be rooming
in a nearby dormitory. A conscien
tious member of the class gave posi
tive proof that the guilty one was
still in bed, so the professor sent a
committee to his room who soon
brought back the disgusted and be
wildered student. (Note) We don't
recommend other professors to try
this.

A persistent rumor spread over
the campus that Jack Dempsey and
party might possibly pay a flying trip
to Chapel Hill for an exhibition bout.
Although the rumor has not been veri
fied, the Tar Heel is already anti
cipating sending the best reporter on
the staff for a personal interview
on leading questions that Mr." Demp
sey should be well posted on, such as
"Poetry j the South," "Aestheticism
in the Prize Ring," "College Educa
tion" and a few snappy opinions on
At the meeting of the Trustees
Building Committee on Monday, Al
Purrington presented a proposition to
the committee asking that sites bs
given to half a dozen fraternities
along the new road through Battle
Park to the new dormitories and be
tween the tennis courts and the road.
The Trustee's Building Committee
made no decision on the matter, but
turned the proposition over to the
Campus Committee to be thoroughly
investigated. If the Campus Com
mittee decides favorably upon the
proposition, the fraternities involved
in the request intend to erect attrac
tive houses. Six more fraternity
houses would do much to raise Caro
lina's rating as a fraternity foster
ing University, and would also cre
ate new social interests.
LIBRARY GETS GIFT
The Library is in receipt of a gift
from Magnus, Washington, D. C,
class of '16 and Charles L. Noppen,
Greensboro, class of '92, of a Stipple
Steel Engraving of the portrait of
Dr. Stephen B. Weeks, class of '86.
The engraving was made by E. G.
Williams, and is taken from a paint
ing made by Paul E. Menjel, which
hangs in the North Carolina Hall of
History in Raleigh.
Interest in the engraving is accen
tuated by the fact that the Univer
sity, some years ago, purchased
Stephen B. Weeks collections of ma
terial relating to North Carolina.
These works are to be found in the
library today.
Students who have been having
trouble with their laundry bags will
be glad to learn that Mr. Paulsen has
purchased 500 high grade bags and
is selling them tit cost 54c each. He
requests that students who desire to
purchase one of these bags do so at
once.
THE WILDERNESS
BY J. OSLER BAILEY
We see that the Desert comes out
with a "N. B. This is the Desert by
the Shriek" appended to each extre
mity. As for the Wilderness, it is
too well known to need such clever
trumpeting.
At that, lot's call off the linguistic
duel, Mr. Shriek after you've had
your one more chance at slander, of
course. We can t afford to have a
pair of othrewise reputable Colyums
degenerate into a Woman's Club, a
Mutual Admiration Society or a mud
slinging bout.

If we must sling, let's sling Taurus,

The occasion was Prof. K's class in
playwriting, and the reader was E.
H. In his skit a quite charming girl
dared a perfectly bona fide preacher
to kiss her. He did. A spontaneous
argument arose in the case. Would a
preacher kiss a damsel's two lips just
because she dared him ? Necessarily?
The Co-eds entrenched themselves
solidly on one side of the question.
Here is the line they tossed: "Of
course he would. Any man would.
A preacher is a man like all the rent
therefore he couldn't help it.
In the above paragraph we find
food for abundant speculation. In
the first place, it is quite remarkable
to note what the average girl thinks
of herself. No man could resist a
pair of tempting lips, indeed! Of
course Adam fell, so the story goes,
s.nd set us all a precedent along the
line of least resistance; but, remem
ber, men-folks in general and preach
ers in particular have cogitated a
right smart upon two lips, since
Adam's day. This is an age of Sci
ence and the magic in lips is large
ly superstition. No, girls, every man
doesn't have to accept all tho invita
tions to osculate that he receives.
Your idea about it is simply a bit
of conceit fostered by the "Mavis"
advertisements. It's done quite oft
en, of course, and perhaps to good
advantage, but not even with the aid
of Mineralava are you irresisable.
Now, someone of you have .neady
taken us seriously. Nauehty. nauerh-
ty! The trick in the above Para
graph is that the man must be born
blind who can resist er Mineralava
Some of the students who operate
apple boxes say that they are losing
money on them. Of course it m en
tirely a commercial proposition, but
a . man who will sneak a 5c apple
from his friend who is selling them
to get along, will push biddies in the
creek.
Two events to remember Lave
taken place in the past week. Both
of them received their due meed of
mention elsewhere in the Tar Heel, but
we Colyumists claim that moie peo
ple read the Colyum than read the
Tar Heel. So bear with us.
