No. 37 Out of the Forty-five organizations that had pictures taken, forty-four paid up on time which is another vic tory for the Publications Union Board. The sacred tradition of avoiding Yackety Yack bills has been defin itely broken forever. Wednesday night will be the last opportunity to see the soothest and most .brilliant basketball machine the University has ever produced and we are not forgetful of the southern championship team of 1922. It will mark the last appearance of Monk McDonald and Cart Carmichael on the local basketball court, the clever uair who stand head and shoulders above other southern rivals. It will give the student body a final chance to lend their hearty support to the team that has won 21 straight vie tories, and give them encouragement for the greater test awaiting them in Atlanta. The long list of well earned vie tories is a tribute in itself to Cap tain Green's team, coupled with the fact that every game has been clean ly won. State and college papers have the highest praise to offer Car olina for the fast and clean exhibi tion of basketball the team has shown in every game. They have won their spurs as South Atlantic champions and deserve recognition from the stu dent body. " v At the Washington and Lee game a collection will be taken to provide basketball charms for Coach Shep herd's five. A small contribution from every student will be enough to buy the charms. Generous support from the students will send the team south with the knowledge that their work has been fully appreciated whatever the outcome of the Atlanta Tournament. It may give them the necessary incentive to win the south ern championship. It has happaned before. GRAIL COMES INTO ITS OWN Another professor had just been lecturing on German imperialism when a loud blast shook the window frames of Murphey building. Assum ing a Foch-like pose he barked "Steady boys, Steady!" and the dan ger passed with no damage. Unification means team work and devotion to a common cause by all individuals and organizations. . The basketball team with individual stars and no co-operation never won a championship, and the university with no centralizing influence never had a soul. Monk MacDonald stated in chapel Monday morning that Carolina men are becoming effete and blase due to too many Tar Heel athletic victories. This presents a lively query for the literary societies: It is better to win and lose spirit, or lose and win spirit? The blasting going on in Battle park is becoming a source of terror to certain professors. A few days ago after a terrific blast, a huge rock tore its way through the roof of Ger rard Hall and crashed to the floor with a dull thud. A professor of French of unsteady nerves made his way from the platform to the doors in the rear in three jumps and a skip. What would the poor chap do if he lived in Japan? Out in the great progressive west, several universities are installing courses in yelling with carefully map ped out courses. Only sophomores are eligible for registration which is a deft compliment to this particular college breed. Some of the courses are labelled as follows: Bleacher Psychology, Bleacher Singing, Cor rect Use of the Voice, What a Coach expects of the Cheerleaders. We heartily recommend that the Department of English or Public The Order of the Grail has found its true function after several years of indifferent accomplishment. When it was conceived it had the noble yet nebulous aim to promote better re- !tionships between fraternity and non-fraternity ranks. Many methods were tried but the task seemed to be too huge and hopeless, and th Srcil became characterized as anoth er lame campus organization. Dances were decided upon as the best med mm to bring the social divisions to a more common basis, and whi!e this program met with some success, a few sparsely attended dances result ed in lowering the campus opinion of the Grail again. This year, however, the Grail have nailed their colors to the mast and have sailed serenely under them. Ev ery dance has been a financial and social success, each one bettering He predecessor in popularity. The Grail dances offer a clean social relaxation open to all students, self-help men and society monarchs alike, at a reason able price. No drinking or object ionable conduct is permitted, nor dc students seem to show any inc'.inatim, to act other than the part of the gentleman. The Grail has been able to hire a good orchestra and then make money which is turned back to the campus for some worth-while cause. It is lending interest to the intra mural program by furnishing cups to winning teams and has pledged a sum of money to the Graham Mem oral fund, besidesfilling a much need ed side of social life in Chapel Hill. It is making plans to run bigger and better dances at the same price and pour money into campus investments that will make for closer unity. The Grail can never fully realize its idealistic purpose of promoting close and brotherly relations between the fraternity and non fraternity ranks. Here there is a natural division that is inevitable and quite harmless, dan gerous only to those who make it so; no organization can erase social bar riers. But the Order of the Grail is going about its business in a quiet, altruis tic way and is setting the pace for many useless and inefficient honorary organizations that do little except clutter the pages of the Yackety Yack. QUESTIONAIRES Questionaires have been mailed to 152 freshmen by the University Bu reau of Vocational Information, seek ing information of the vocational in terests and plans of the Senior Class. The result of the questionaire will be used mainly for statistical purposes. All Seniors are requested to return the questionaires properly filled out, it is announced, and any Seniors who have not received a questionaire through the mail are requested to get in touch with the Bureau. Well folks it looks like from my picture which the Shriek who I am the valley of published last wk. that I am a sort of cloudy WEDNESDAY don't it Well anyway I hopes you liked it and I hopes you are convict- sd that they is such a person as I af ter all, and I am glad to be well again and back amongst you and hereby cry greetings to all the deer peepul. I went to hear the Gen. whiles I was sick and wrote about a column of dope in re same but the Shriek wouldn't let me publish it because he ?aid I was too sick to write it in the first place. But anyways The Gen has came, the Gen. has spoke, and best of all the Gen. has went. They is no telling what might happen if he remained hereabouts for long. Likely we should be doing sentry go at the campus gates, ' catching class es by a bugle, and saluting the fac ulty. It's a cinch he fires enough sugges tions at us in his last articulate 5 minutes to have this here Univ. look ing like Custer's Last Stand at day break and if he had used a hr. in sim ilar vain why no doubt we should be calling J. Allsbrook Most Worship ful Generalissimo or something and using the quadrangle as a naval training station to function on rainy days, not to speak of launching men-o-war fleet on the young ocean which surrounds Murphey Hall. Prob ly this bldg. which makes a awfully cute little island would be transfer red into a coaling depot. Well anyways the Gen. done a big speech and numerous of the campus dumbles which also use Lydia Pink- ham's hair restorer and join the K, K. K. and believe in black cats and ghosts and so on wis terrible impress ed. On the adjoining hand it seems to I that the Gen. has got a lot in common with another well known person which I wot of that is name ly one T. Alva Edison which invent ed the self-made fountain pen and the lawn mower and the physiognomy tests for college freshmen. Whereas to own as much intelleck and ability as obviously he has got why he can do some of the most plum childish stunts they is. . One is got to admire howsoever that the Gen. practices what he ser mons about. He don't pick on no struggling little state paper like the N. & O. when it says funny things about him but he waits until he can get hold of a big substantial news sheet like the Tar Heel which has the Publications Union and everything be hind it and then he cuts loose like a jood American. But all this ain't what I set out to say noways but to the verse vfca that Feb. having been celebrated in jreat old grammar school fashion and all honor done to the Father Himself f Americanism in N. C, it looks to I like everybody is about to forget that last Friday was another anni versary, a sort of minor one to be ure, but still and all a anniversary. I mean to say Feb. 22. It appears ike from what I can gather from old magazine files that on this date an other Gen. was born which was called simply Father of His Country, but yet ho was a Father too. This guy was named GiO. Wash ington and Washington, Nebraska, was named after him. Maybe some of you folks remembers him from your kindergarten days. But any ways he was a big man in his time and I would like to be the first to suggest that the Univ. pay some at tention to his birthday and maybe round up a little celebration, say about a week or two weeks later on March 1, or April 14. Much obliged, WEDNESDAY, A. M. Again the Desert has been honor ed beyond its just desserts. (That's a terrible one, isn't it?) But any how it has received a contribution for which the Shriek takes no re sponsibility: Dear Shriek: "I witnessed the close of a pecu liar moving tragedy yesterday. The University workmen were removing the remains of a very promuing (that is, he was formerly very prom ising) freshman from in front of Dor mitory "E." It was during tha rains of a few weeks ago that I was carefully slid ing home at about ten o'clock, ( ? Ed.) taking great care to place my feet only on the high spots where the sprouting grass had prevented the torrents from washing away the soil. In front of me was the promising freshman mentioned above. Care less, with the abandon of youthful vigor in his every motion, ho s'.rode blithely onward. But alas, poof yokel, he had mistaken his direction. You have guessed it, dear bhnek, -he had fallen into the walk. Very truly yours, DUM DUM. FH. note Dear DUM DUM: Much obliged, Yours truly, THE SHRIEK.

The addi tion of forty or more feet in the ba?k is now completed and the work on the rest of the building .is being hur ried along as fast as possible. When completed, the building will be a thoroughly up-to-date bank in all respects. The front will be lit by a large skylight which has al ready been installed. The interior will be completely remodelled and a modern vault will be installed. Although the workmen have the interior in a rather disordered con dition, the same service is being ren dered to the customers as before the work was started. Ths teller's cage is temporarily at the front of the building and the main business off ice and bookkeepers are in the new addition in the rear. While it is impossible to give the exact date of completion, the con tract calls for the work to be done by the first of May.

The visit of the various company representatives offers a mutual opportunity. It puts you in posi tion to judge whether a particular company offers sufficient scope to your ability and ambition. The representative can judge, after conversing with you and studying your record, whether you would be well placed in his company. Do not ignore the invitation to these interviews. Do not be one of those and they are many who next Fall will write to the larger companies, "At the time your representative visited my college I did not think that I was interested in the work of your company and so did not meet him".
