PARAGRAPHICS .
The Ku Klux speaker waxed warm.
The rebuttal of J. W. Bailey next
Friday should be interesting also;
The Playmakers probably had their
biggest Chapel Hill audience last Mon
day night. It was a free show.
The coaches are still calling for can
didates for winter football practice.
Carolina can't win unless the teams
are trained, they say.
We would like to suggest that the
Di Senate, which is acting as a sort of
discussion promoter these days, pro
mote a bout between the Honorable J.
Daniels and the Honorable C. Morri
son.'""' "'.'.
golashes or knee boots to keep their
feet dry. That was in the day when
there was no highway commission.
But let us take a look at the situa
tion of things some hundred and thir
ty years later; that is, today. Today.
we have a highway commission that
has converted the bad roads leading
to Chapel Hill into hard surface. The
bogs and marshes and swamps that
Hinton Jams crossed on his famous
trip are now crossed by concrete roads.
Everywhere over the state roads have
been constructed. Other early stu
dnts who came to Chapel Hill would
not now recognize the roads over
which they came. - Indeed, when they
got to Chapel Hill they would not rec
ognize Franklin street, unless they
should happen tq get off the concrete
in the middle of the road. But the
campus would be readily identified ex
cept for the new buidings.
But here is the fallacy. We have
in the University the recognized seat
of higher learning in the state. Such
a place shoud present an appearance
of dignitysand refinement that the
state can look upon and point to with
pride. The students who come here
are studying how to increase the hap
piness of mankind. Culture and aes
thetic appreciatoin are cardinal vir
tues of modern education. We regard
education not only for training lead
ers, but also for giving a deeper ap
preciation of living to all the people.
An attempt at all this is being car
ried on in a sea of mud. The situa
tion is psychologically opposed to the
development of culture. The mud of
the campus is but representative of
the mud that infests our cultural lives,
It is in all seriousness a big hold-back
to progress in the development of the
intellectually refined and cultured.
The attitude that students take in
egard to the mud surrounding them
is but symbolic of the attitude that
they hold in regard to the cultural
forces of college life. We believe that
the removal of the physical mud will
do much to remove the cultural mud.
THE PLAYMAKER TRIP '.
The Playmakers' first Southern trip
has brought much favorable comment
from the press of the cities in which
they played. Not only did the sev
eral audiences seem to thoroughly en
joy the program presented, but the
themes which were embodied in the
plays were proved to be of more than
Just home state interest.
. The Carolina Magazine, which was
a monthly magazine last year, has hot
""S ' . made its customary appearance this
year. If a "college publication that
. claims to be issued regularly does not
live up to its claim, then we ' should
change the claim.
The game with Harvard was a hard
fight for the Tar Heels from beginning
to end. But some of these days our
teams are going to be able to compete
with the' best there is in the North
-and come out on the big end of the
score as much as on the small, end.
In order to boost the different publi
' cations of the University we would
like to suggest that the Yacketg Yaek
yell be discarded and that one which
uses the Carolina Magazine or the
Carolina Buccaneer be used in . its
. place. We have been hearing the
Yacketg Yack yell long enough. Then
besides the Yacketg Yack only comes
out once a year.
REAL MUP AND CULTURAL MUD
The controversy regarding mud be
tween the President and Percival Syl
vester DePeyster, a local member of
the Doe family, brought out some very
interesting sidelights on mud as the
thorn in our college of roses. While
we see full well the President's rose
and thorn attitude toward the pleas
ures of college life and its mud, yet
we are forced to agree with Mr. De
Peyster's appeal for something con
crete, despite our aversion to disagree
with the Univrsity head.
In the spirit of Mr. DePeyster, we
would call attention to the fact that
things here are not what they used
to be in the time of Hinton James.
'Ti told how James, the first Univer
sity student, walked all the way to
Chapel Hill. If this be true, then we
can imagine the impression the Hill
made upon him. He had walked, no
doubt, through swamps, forests and
fields. Doubtless he had encountered
much mud on the way. So when .he
reached the Hill there was nothing
unusual about the fact that the plate
was covered with mud. The fact is
that he" probably'1 wondered at the
great improvement in the quality of
mud. ; At his eastern home he had
been accustomed to the marshes and
swamps where one could get about
better in a boat than on foot. But
here he found new surroundings. He
saw mud which, although it had a
great affinity for the human foot, was
less to be dreaded than the bogs of
his home country. Besides, he did not
have to wear big bottom pants which
dragged the ground, and there were
no co-eds who were forced tp wear
One of the main points of signifi
cance that the trip-brought out was
the responsive attitude tha was pres
ent in' the several audiences. It proved
that the plays had an appeal that
reached beyond the mere confines of
North Carolina., It proved that the
people of the South are really inter
ested in tb.e development of the drama
and that they are willing to give a
serious consideration for the work
which is being carried on in the South.
The contacts made on the trip, also,
brought out many interesting things.
Stories are told, by the players of how
people wept when the tenant farmer
play, was presented. People even came
to members of the troupe, after the
performances to discuss "the problem
presented in the play. Some expressed
the opinion that the play was false
in. its presentation, they could not
see how such . a thing could happen.
One old lady, who had evidently made
but little contact with the poorer
classes, asked the question why the
wife left home when her husband
promised to buy her some furniture.
The press criticisms of the several
cities are also very interesting. The
Atlanta papers considered "Fixin's'
the best of the three; the Savannah
press thought "Gaius and Gaius, Jr
the best production; ft aeon picked the
play, "When Witches Ride," as best;
Charleston considered all .three of
equal excellence; and Columbia chose
"Fixin's" as the best play, although
it was said that the acting in all three
was equal in excellence.
The Playmakers have represented
the University well and should receive
due praise. They have covered them'
selves with recognition. But above all
they have come to be recognized as
a literary quickening in the dead mass
of an unproductive South.

HAWKINS SPOKE
TO FULL HOUSE
(Continued from page one)
show substantial reasons for its existence
it should not be tolerated, but that the
Klan has many reasons for existence,
He told of the founding of , the Klan
after the Civil war during "the horri
ble days of reconstruction, when the
very life's blood of the South was threat
ened." He told of the many things it
did then in the rebuilding of the South,
the overthrow of carpetbag rule, the
bringing back of white supremacy, and
the protection of white womanhood. "No
one in the South will doubt that it jus
tified its existence then, and those same
principles which guided the Civil war
Klan are the same principles upon which
the present Klan is based, and it should
be-supported by every loyal and full
blooded American."
He compared the troubles of the Klan
to those of Christ, by saying that "no
man, or any organization, ever amounted
to anything without first going through
the fires of hell." He stated that the
Klan was based on' the" Bible, and that
as Jong as it held the Word of God up
permost, he expected it to survive.
Absolute racial purity, he said, is one
of the strongest points in the Klan doc
trines. He said, "We are in favor of
stopping all immigration, and Ameri
canizing' the large foreign element we
already have ds best we can." "No perr
son is a true American," he said, "until
his heart throbs for American ideals and
at the American flag, and those are the
things the Klan is striving for."
"In the country at large there are
15,000,000 persons born of foreign par
ents. There are 6,000,000 born of mixed
parents. At this rate, the 1928 popu
lation of first and second generation for
eign born will be 36,000,000. Add this
to 11,000,000 negroes, and we have left
only 58,000,000 Americans. But from
these there must be subtracted the phys
ically and mentally unfit for American
citizenship, who will number at least 10,-
000,000. - . - .-
"Thus we have only 48,000,000 Ameri
canst In fact, I am convinced from a
study of figures that we have not more
than 35,000,000 honest-to-God American
men, women and children in the United
States. If this continues, in 35 years
America will be as thoroughly European
as Southern Italy. North Carolina will
be facing the same problems as the states
further north before long, unless we do
our duty now." ''"'
Dr. Hawkins strongly favors teaching
tne young boys and eirls the doctrin
of the 'Rlan, so that they may be better
prepared for citizenship.
He said that the Klan was neither wet
nor dry, but its first principle was to
uphold the laws of the land, and make
the people law-abiding. He said that
capital and labor could never come to
any suitable agreement unless the degen
erate foreign classes were gotten rid of.
"If the Ku Klux Klan ever goes to
the rocks, it will be because there Js not
a proper respect for womanhood in the
United States," asserted Dr. Hawkins.
"Jealousy between the Protestant de
nominations must goi the Protestants
must present a solid front to the scourge
The Klan is
of Roman Catholicism."
opposed to the Catholics because "their
oath of allegiance to the Roman Catholic
church is held higher by them than their
allegiance to the United States government."
' He admitted that there are criminals
an dbad elements in the Klan, "just as
there are in every other organization,"'
but he said that they were being weeded
out by the thousands every year every
where they could be found. The entrance
requirements to the Klan are rough
and rigid, "and we mean to keep them
that way." , He said that the Klan will
protect no criminal or wrongdoer and
illustrated by telling of many cases
where Klansmen who had committed
crimes had been exposed and prosecuted
by the Klan. ' - '
"The Klan is not dying," he said, "as
has been said; it is not even sick." He
asserted that the Klan is stronger now
than it has ever been before, and is grow
ing by, leaps and bounds.
Just before the beginning of the lec
ture, two big busses drove up in front
of Memorial hall and their contents filed
unceremoniously into the building and
took their seats near the front of the
hall.
Djr. Hawkins strenuously upheld the
policy of the Klan in wearing headgear.
He said they had just as much right
to wear their rgalia as the Knights of
Columbus had to wear their various em
blems and uniforms, and that they did
not intend to take them off until they
"got good and ready." He said that the
regalia of the Klan offered protection to!
its individual members, and intimated
that they would throw off the disguise as
soon as they became sufficiently powerful.

BROUGHT A MENAGERIE
Demonstrated Effects of Drugs On I
Animals.
- By J. E. Farrior '
Dr. Paul S. Pittenger, lecturer in the
Jefferson Medical college and Philadel
phia College of Pharmacy, and chief
research chemist of the H. K. Mulford
company, gave a demonstration of the
effect of drugs on animals in a lecture
in Gerrard hall Tuesday night Watch
ing a rooster's comb turn from red to
blue was' only one phase of a highly
curious and interesting performance.
7 Dr. Pittenger brought along his me
nagerie that he might better illustrate
the points of his lecture. He adminis
tered drugs to different animals on the
stage 'and showed their effects. The
main object of his lecture was to stress
the standardization of drugs. He showed
that some drugs vary as much as five or
six hundred per cent in strength.
He gave a demonstration of the tox'
method, experimenting orr guinea pigs,
frogs, and gold fish to show the amount
of a drug necessary to cause death.
He put a dog under the influence of
morphine for an hour and a half and
then opened an artery and connected the
blood flow of the dog to an apparatus
which recorded the animal's blood pres
sure on a smoke-covered chart. He al
lowed the normal blood pressure of the
og to be definitely established and then I
administered a dose of dried sunrenal
gland and the results were Instantane
ously recorded on the chart hv
rise in the graph.' The standard drug
was found to be the one which would
cause the same rise In the graph every j
time it was injected. Speaking of the j
accuracy or wis method, Dr. Pittenger
said that 49 out of 50 does were MhI
and the same reaction was found to five
millionths of a gram per dog. He also
used white leghorn roosters to further
demonstrate the blood pressure method.
He injected the drug into the breast
of the rooster and In 45 minutes
rooster's comb turned blue.
