REPORTERS
The' University orchestra has been
doing excellent work this year under
the direction of Mr. Hard, and have
been slighted in the columns of the
Tar Heel and other University pub
lications, while athletics, the Play
makers and other organizations and
have been enjoying the spotlight.
That their work is appreciated, how
ever, by men in sympathy with ar
tistic work, is shown in the following
extract from a letter by Professor J.
F. Dashiell of the Psychology De
partment: I think a word of appreciation is
due the University Orchestra and its
Director, Mr. Hard, for the work they
have been doing, as evidenced by the
recital last Sunday. To untrained
auditors, at least their work seemed
fully up to the standard of university
organizations of the kind. This was
evidenced, not only in their maintain
ing some rather difficult tempi, as
for instance in the first and last num
bers, but also in the tonal quality

be discerned. However altruistic we

Student's Column
Editor of the Tar Heel,
Dear Sir,
The spirit of toleration on this
campus is beautiful to behold. It is
contageous. Serenely now I view the
things that once did rile me so. I
am filled with peace and understand
ing. That I have been inoculated
doth appear in this:
A student in Vance throws his ex
cess garbage; from the third flosr.
As I pass by unexpectantly, I smile
at my former vexation, and muse over
our chivalrous custom of letting a
lady walk nearest the wall, a con
cession which arose in the dark ages,
before the invention of sewers.
An upper-classman coming out
of French class, breaks out hi3 pipe
and nonchalantly . streaks a match
along the white wall of the corridor.
It is a beautiful streak for luture
generations to gaze at, but it proves
a "dud." I hasten over with another
match. This having served as an in
troduction, we stroll down the hall
arm in arm, discussing campus im
provements. And yes, I have learned to love
those delightful wrecker posts in the
middle of the sidewalks tnose
gentle, cast-iron shin-teasers, espe
cially those that shun the brazen arc-
light. Vainly did I struggle one
night, after a slight altercation, to
pull ne out by the roots. Now

and softly murmur: "O little wrecK

The many cuts interspersed
throughout the pages testify to the
activitity of the art department and
to the interest taken by the contri
butors. It is difficult to specify
whose work isthe most eomir.endcb'.?,
for there were many varied types of
drawings. Fred Wright surpasses
the others in the amount of work
done, and all his drawings are good,
His spread sheet can be called one of
the features of the issue. It is very
well done and certainly portrays the
interesting side of Easter dances.
Alex Crowell's contributions to
the comic shows finish and originality.
The number and quality of his con
tributions is evidence that he spent
a great amount of time on them.
Crutchfield's cartoons show diligent
study of his theme and they have a
professional touch. His technique is
original, and his work shows appli
cation to details. Johnson has. some
good cuts in this issue, and there is
one drawing by Starr. Aitnougn
their work is good, we don't believe
it quite up to the standard set by the
others.
The masthead on the editorial page
and the thumb sketches illustrating
"The Prince of Wails" are from the
pen of Andy McCarty. The mast
head is one of the most finished con
tributions to the magazine, and the
thumb sketches are exceptionally
good.
The literary department easily
kept pace with the artists. We no

that nobody loves him, and that he

Miss Sink read a paper on "Cur

clearly shows how the past genera
tions were taught, and how ineffec
tive their methods were; she took
geography as an illustration.
Miss Hunter came next on the pro
gram with a very interesting talk on
"Illiteracy." She confined hersell to
Denmark and told how Denmark had
risen from the lowest educational
condition to the highest in the world.

Miss Whitley read a paper on
"Modern Books." This dealt chiefly
with the modern educational books.
Questions were asked at the con
clusion of each report, and the dis
cussions were very helpful and interesting.
