No. 41 The weather man was kind enough to spread a thin carpet of snow for the arrival of Dr. Grenfell who spoke Monday night on "Midst Ice and Snow." I . Now that the berry sprig has gub, the young man's fancy turns lightly to thoughts of Vaporub and hot lem onade. The office cat jumped on our tab!e craving affection. We smoothed and s'Toked her until she purred like a tre"-ht train. But when we pulled her into our lap she scratched us. Now we know why women are called cats. , ' Our weekly suggestion: posts in Gerrard Hall be during Pic hours. that the removed The faculty members were wise in their decision prohibiting Carolina's participation in the national cham pionship at Indianapolis. Several members of the team expressed an unwillingness to go, and they are ones who know best what they are capable of. Jan Garber and his musical crew are headed for Europe, it is said; which bit of news brought consterna tion in the ranks of the German club. After reading the inspiring article in the Magazine, called "What Caro lina Means to a Co-ed," we decided to nominate the authoress for cheer leader later on in the spring. There is one redeeming feature about examination week. It gives wornout students an extra half hour's sleep in the morning. William Wrigley, the chewing gum king, has recalled his decision to back Hiram Johnson. Not much of a boost for his sticking qualities. ... This is the zero hour for the an nual quota of Phi Beta Kappa as pirants. We don't intend to be dis couraging, but the following clipped item headed: "Mixers, not scholars, make biggest incomes," is very fitt ing at this time: , It is considerable satisfaction for a student to make A grades in col lege, but he cannot cash in his scholastic triumphs unless he is a good mixer. This statement is based upon statistics assembled by Adelbert Ford, instructor in psychology at the University of Michigan. The figures show Phi Beta Kappa men, prominent for scholastic ability, have acquired an average income of $3,000 a year in the 10-year period since graduation, while students prominent in campus activities (dan cers, singers, athletes and mixers generally) have acquired incomes averaging $10,000. Student's Column THE DESERT BY THE SHRIEK Having been absent from these col umns for the past fortnight we cheei--fully shriek Wot Ho! and on behalf of our man Wednesday, Greetings! We are sorry to have deserted The Desert even for once but Duty called and all that sort of thing, you know. At any rate we wish to extend our thanks to Dum Dum for inserting himself, that is to say, filling in so ably during our absense, even though several of the statements he madu concerning things in general and us in particular may have baen question able. Wednesday was a bit nonpuls ed by the verses indicated, as it were, by . Dum Dum. So we have given him a week off to recuperate and also To the Editor of the Tar Heel: In the editorial column of a recent issue of the Carolina Magazine I no ticed an article advocating the es tablishment of a course in the Eng- build up his own rather moth-eaten lish Bible. The author of the art- youth, beauty and sex appeal. icle, having very widely disposed of the religious side of the question speaks of the cultural value of such a course, and for this reason ad vocates its insertion into the curri culum. Insofar as the author goes, he is to be commended, for the University is certainly in need of something which may possibly add to the cul ture of the student body. To carry the argument to its logical conclusion, however, not only the English Bible but also the other world Bibles must be taught. Should the English Bible alone be taught, the course would fail in its cultural purpose, for the Christians, unfortunately, are so em phatically in the minority that course which considers only Chris tianity would be contrary to the pre cepts of the Christian faith, which since the days of the Reformation has so ardently preached toleration; contrary to the democratic traditions of our most remarkable Rppublic, which alone of nations rnly guar antees each individual his freedom; and finally, contrary to the tradi tions of the University, which so justly prides itself upon its "liberalism." Consequently, Sir, I wish to re quest your aid in agitating the es tablishment of a course which shall include with the English Bible the Koran, the Precepts of Confucius, the Vedas, etc. Trusting that you are fully cognizant of the cultural necessity of such a course, and tht.i you will support any agitation for its establishment, I wish to remain, Very truly yours, P. C. CLEMENT, JR. We are still trying to figure out the freshman which, on a recent Economics One Class, when asked "How wide usually is an quadrilateral triangle?," replied, "I think you'll find the answer to that on page 19 of the Textbook" and went back t sleep. ''-. " So also we are still laboring over the complex of the SENIOR from whose roommate we recently purloin ed the following letter: Dear W After you left for the week-end I noticed that my new sox was gone. I know you didn't take the sox but everything looks like you did. If you took the sox will you please return the sox. If you took the sox you sure did a dirty trick because you know I got the sox to wear home. If you didn't take the sox I'm awful sorry but everything looks like you did. I certainly was aggervated when I found the sox gone. Your roommate and freind (if you didn't take the sox). M . I tell you, folks, you can't shake my belief in the descent of man. THE STYGIANS PRESENT MONOGRAMED BLANKET The Invisible Order of Stygians presented a monogramed blanket tc the football team in Chapel Friday. Mr. Chas H. Woollen accepted the blanket for the football team. Three years ago the Stygians presented the football team with monogramed blan kets, and every year the captain of the team keeps his. This is replaced by one from tha Stygians. In ac cepting the one which replaces Casey Morris's blanket, Mr. Woollen said, "All that is known by the public of the Invisible Order of Stygians is the good work they perform." Editor of the Tar Heel, Chapel Hill, Dear Sir: In your issue of Feb. 29 a name ess student complains that the March numbers of certain magazines were not in the Periodical Room of the Library altho he had seen them on news stands. He gives no dates but presumably he saw these fugitives about Feb. 28. Here are the magazines of which he complains and the dates on which the Library received them: Scribner's received March 3, p. m Harper's received March 3, p. m Atlantic received Ma:tli 4, c. m, This is a situation very familiar but always irritating to those who read periodicals. It appears to be a maxim of publishers that the sub scriber should be the last person to see a magazine. They rush out bun dies of their publications to the news dealers by express, then send later printings to the mailing room where each copy is wrapped, addressed, and sent to the subscriber by second class mail. Hence the delay: I think this explains how the voltage of our cur rent periodicals is stepped down. If your correspondent must have Atlantic with the ink still wet he should buy from the dealers. While we are on the subject this information should be brought to the attention of the students: during last year the Library has been obliged to replace over fifty magazines that have been mutilated or stolen. Respectfully, CM. Baker Assistant Librarian GRANT ATTENDS MEETING Alumni Secretary D. L. Grant will attend a regional conference of lo cal Alumni officers at Asheville next Saturday. The meeting will be con ducted under the direction of R. R. Williams, member of the board of directors of the Asheville district of the Alumni Association. This will be the third of a series of ten region al conferences to be conducted over the state. Meetings will be held, similarly, in Raleigh, Rockingham, New Bern, Rocky Mount, Charlotte, Salisbury, Winston-Salem, and possi While we are quoting we shall do the right thing and quote the follow ing letter clipped from Winona Wil cox's column for the Luv-Lorn in i recent issue of a well known national magazine: - Dear Winona Wilcox: I am an attractive co-ed at a large university. The matron sees that read your page, and I really love it. My common sense tells me you are right about petting but still I must do as other girls do or be left out of everything. I hate myself because I can't talk about this to my nice mother but here is something she can't under stand, and neither can I. When I go out with a boy who does not pet I am disappointed and rest- '.ess. And if the boy does pet me, I despise him and am disgusted with myself. What shall I do? R. M. S., Massachusetts. We have never said much about fe males in this column, have we? But I ask you, dear people, I ask you! Clipping from Durham Sun after recent rains: "Latest tidings from the flood dis trict of Chapel Hill report that the mud has not yet reached the top of Memorial Hall. The water tower and the power house chimney are also still visible. Professor M. C..S. Noble is meeting classes, however." At a recent meeting ot a campus free-thought organization at which food, of a sort, is provided, the chair man invited a member who had just arrived to dig into the eatables. He explained: "We might as well eat now while we wait for the others. We want to have a full meeting when we start." He realized the atrocious quip which he had unintentionally made and apologized. "That's quite all right," the newcomer replied, "I'm a fundamentalist when it comes to an invitation to eat." We are very pleased to report the addition of "Le Rendezvous" and "Le Vallon Tranquille" to South Dormi tory's rapidly enlarging Quartier Latin. Telegram from Wednesday: "It's a d-mn good thing there ain't nothing in a name. You remember the Tar Baby, heh? You remember the Boll Weevil, heh? Well this here new comic is called the Buccaneer and it has got a business manager of which the name is Gold. But I beleive in it. Three cheers for Black-beard!!" JACK COBB IS PUT IN EMBARRASSING PLACE At a dinner party given for the Carolina basket ball team in Atlan ta last Sunday evening, Sprat Cobb was temproarily placed in a very em barrassing position, but was saved by the engenious and timely action of Billy Devin. Sprat was requested by a certain blue-eyed blond, to tap slightly the ivories of a nearby piano with his agile phalanges, which with such ?race, had been lifting the sixteen inch sphere into the receptive basket all through the tournament. He bowed graciously but declined until after the nourishment had been con sumed. After the sumptous repast was stored away he was again re quested to demonstrate his ability, but he once more gracefully declin ed, most probably on account of an over abundance of consumed food, andspecially due to an embarrass ing ignorance concerning the opera tion of the ivories this not being a player piano. Apparently, Sprat had handled the situation with much ease, and was gracefully declining the invita tion; but, however deftly he had han died the situation, he yet experienced a little internal uneasiness. In or der to make 'his argument more con vincing, he besieges the wily Monk to come to his rescue. With his usual ease, Monk grasped the opportunity to place the aforesaid Sprat in a still more embarrassing position, by saying although a little bashful, Mr. Cobb was one of the most talented musicians Carolina has ever produc ed. Sprat was saved from overwhelm ing embarrassment, by Billy Devin upsetting a glass of water.

Here's why: It's heavier, faster-working lather, the way it lubricates the path of the razor and eliminates painful fric tion, the soothing ingredient which keeps the skin so smooth and cool even in daily shaving these are qualities men like I They also like its purity no artificial coloring. With the new Hinge-Cap, Williams is winning more friends than ever before. See if you ever used a shaving cream as good. w Niams t J ItT. '.'iCJiff.
