THE MELTING POT Bp C. W, B. If the University would only, abolish eight-thirties! If the lily could bnly lose its grace! If the leopard Could only lose its spots! If the buzz saw could only lose its allurement ! If the sky were no longer blue, the water no long er wet, th$ wbm no longer turning, the grass no longer green! If that which can not come to pass could only happen! If the University would only abolish eight-thirties! I write everything I .think In prose or versej It matters not, Good, bad, Indifferent or worse, . My art's all my own. No publisher would print it, To say nothing of paying for it. My art's Indeed my own. There may be some sense after all, in this business of catching classes, putting' one's self under rules. It is like being carried along in a sort of moral automobile, instead of trudging the road free from coercion. . We fall into a rut, but even that is perhaps better than running loose, letting one's vmind and habit range at random. We might fly off at tangent sometimes and maybe be sorry afterwards, if we did not have to do certain things. There is a stabilizing influence, or something, in this business of having to mark time to the old South bell as it tolls off our days, weeks, and years here. College has certain rules and regulations. Life has certain rules and regulations too. The moral yearning of rural com munities find outlet in the extraordin ary dress of campus cakesters social aspirants who -wear the hallmarks of the-four million, but who try desper-' ately and unceasingly to efface the last six ciphers from their classification number. Country mannerisms, like shyness and modesty, are refreshingly likeable. But country collegians who use to plow - old Dobbin and rake hay -H TAG FOOTBALL SCHEDULE The tag football schedule for the remainder of this , week is as follows: : .

Pi Kappa' Phi vs. Chi Phi, 4:30 p.m. try to ruin it all by wearing golf hose of bizarre hues, and plus fours, and ties of marvelous patterns, and crudely funny little jackets, as if we kept open carnival season here the year 'round, Such are men, ostensibly college men, whose heads serve admirably as some thing useful to keep their neckties on. But hardly more.. There's a day coming when Tar Heel editors will not have Chapel Hill mud as a stock theme for their dashes of brilliant quillology. They are concret ing the place downtown and every thing and who knows but what in years to come there will be trolley lines from'Z Dormitory to Peabody, or a five-cent, pay-as-U-enter midnight special from the dorms out near the Kock Pile to Gooch's, br anything?

By frustrating an attack , on one of the guards, Tom is made trustee, and he take advantage of his new position to make1 his escape .when he hears that "the girl back home" is to marry the man who sent him to jail through trick ery. So out he went, while prisoners peering from the barred windows high above the courtyard wondered just how far they'd get if they tried the same thing. ' Virginia Valli is Meighan's leading man in the production which was adapt ed for the screen by Tom Geraghty. Frank Morgan, prominent figure on the Broadway stage, is Tom's rival in busi ness and love. Others in the cast include John Harrington, Norman Trevor, Chas. Stevenson, ' Julia Hoyt and Lynn Fon- tanne. v ' Author Takes Characters For Story from Life "Sun-Up," the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production which is playing at the Pick wick theatre today, is a story of the North Carolina, mountain folk and was written by Lula Vollmer. She spent much time among the hardy denizens of those hills and acquired an intimate knowledge of their language and habits and eccentricities. This forms only a background against which there stands out in clear-cut carv ing, a pathetic story of maternal love of high if misguided purpose and a yield ing to influence which comes to many ml -fed Shows At. 3:30 6:45 and 8:20 Regular Admission 25 Cents THURSDAY . . . . ........

Cer tain attaches of the Fox West Coast studios almost believe that Pal, the ca nine co-star of Sid Smith in Imperial comedies,' is thus gifted. While the shoot ing of "Sweet Marie," Smith's latest comedy, showing at the Pickwick theatre today, was in progress, Pal was observed many times in what appeared to be par oxysms of canine hilarity. - Unbelievers said he was only panting, but this does not explain the mirthful twinkle in his eyes.
