Florida seemed to have been i Mecca for University students dur inir the Christmas holidays. If the Western Carolina boom ever gets to booming,- more of the students may be induced to join a "See North Carolina First" movement. South Building, stripped of its ivy, furnishes a striking contrast to the ivy-clad South so much beloved by Carolina men. Hope Dr. Coker can pull a B.urbank and get the building redecked in a hurry follow ing its renovation. . - Young Stribling decides to marry and go to college. If we'may judge from editorial comments . that have appeared in the Newt and Observer from timS to time, that paper would approve most heartily pf the first act but would throw its smelling salts into play at the mere thought of the latter. : Speaking of Stribling, it is our fervent prayer that the sport writers "up North" will take cognizance of the fact that he is no longer a "Ma con, (Ga.) High School lad" and will give us a little let up on that line of chatter. - . . Geo. Wilson, Washington's hefty all-American back, played against 'Alabama for three quarters, and the Westerners registered 19 points while the Southerners went score less. But the star was on the bench during the third session and Ala bama ran up 20 points while the Huskies failed to tally." Just anoth er proof that the greatest defense is a great offense. . Last spring the Editor of the Durham Herald wrote himself a lit tle piece for his paper over the fact that newspapers insisted on making a Jones out of Charlie Jonas, cap tain of the track team. '; Recently we picked up a copy of that self-same paper to find a picture of the self same Jonas. But the caption writer hadn't read his boss' editorial; he spelled it Jones. STILL A TRI-WEEKLY The business manager tells us to start off the New . Year as a tri weekly. He assures us that if finan cially possible, The Tar Hkel will be delivered at the door of each and every student on each and every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning. . However, says the business man ager, in case it is found inadvisible to continue as a tri-weekly, the Tar Heel will return to its former semi weekly status. So be prepared, ye gentle readers, to act as recipients of either a tri-weekly or a semi weekly. In case the Tar Heel begins- to sputter around and starts showing up only twice a week, 'twon't be a case of our typewriter going bad on us ; 'twill be a case of our pocket-book being over-flat. It was. announced before the Christmas recess that it was highly probable that the student newspaper would be forced to return to a semi weekly. The Publications Board, after a thorough investigation into the possibility of continuing as a tri weekly as shown by the results of operation on that basis during the fall quarter, has decided to attempt to keep the ship afloat. A com fortable surplus was laid in store by the Tar Heel last year and this will be used as a safety valve. If, how ever, the Board finds that too much pressure is being brought to bear on the reserve f unds, the paper will re turn to a less ambitious, but a safer, program, and appear only twice a week. .. LAW FRATERNITY HAS CONVENTION Delta Theta Phi Holds 17th Biennial Convention. HELD AT SAINT PAULS King Represents Battle Senate of Local Law School. The seventeenth biennial convention of the Delta Theta Phi Law Fraternity was held at Saint Paul, ' Minn., December 28 30, 1925.

Chair of Jurisprudence at Oxford University, England, for the past twenty-two years. Over a year ago the fraternity was, included in the list of donors to a fund which was rais ed to procure a portrait of Sir Paul, by Henry Lamb, to be hung in the Hall, of an Oxford College as a mark of ap preciation of the learned world for his eminent services to legal and historical scholarship. The portrait was presented at a dinner of Oxford subscribers held at All Souls College on Thursday, June 18, 1925. It was hung In the Maitland Library for . Social and Legal History, with which the Corpus Professor's work in Oxford has been so long and inti mately associated.

During the Yuletide holidays, an All- Star toum composed of present and for mer Carolina basketball players, was de feated by the string Charlotte Y. M. C. A. team by the score of 50-34 in one of the. best exhibitions ever witnessed on Charlotte court. ' f ' . Despite the fact that the Carolina players had not practiced together, they put "up a very creditable game and gave the Queen City cagers ; plenty think about. The All-Stars put up to great game but they just didn't have the team-work that marked, the play of the Charlotte team. " Led by "Sam McDonald, who played on last year's Southern Championship team, and Andrews, with 16 points each, the Charlotte team showed a powerful offensive drive, which the All-Stars were unable to check. "Jack" Cobb, captain of last year's Carolina-" quint, was by ' far the most brilliant player on the floor. He rang up a total of 20 of his team's 31 points. and also played a great floor game, "Art"' Newcomb, who held down the pivot position, on last year's Tar Baby quint, also showed up well. This victory was Charlotte's fifth con secutive win of the season. ; All-Stars (34) Charlotte (50) Carmichael (5) '. Neiman (6) R. F. i. M. McDonald (4) S. McDonald (16) L. F.

About seventy-five .were present Among those who addressed the stu dents was Congressman W. C. Hammer who is president of the Randolph alum ni.

P, Routh, Carolina student from Franklin- ville, was elected president of the or ganization. . Mr. Hammer's talk was an apprecia tion of the work, and proeress of the colleges and universities of today. That the present trend is toward a broader and more comprehensive program in the best institutions of higher learning was brought out by Mr. Hammer. He sees no cause for alarm in the evolution squabble between certain legislators and college officials. Mr. Hammer said that it seemed to him that the colleges are making more progress every year and that the "students are receiving a much better education" than their parents. A very interesting part of . the pro gram was a short talk by a member of every college in the state, giving ' a short resume of the history and purpose of each college. ;- R. P. Routh spoke in behalf of a permanent organization of the college students from Randolph county, and his plan met with instant approval. The meeting, which was held in the county court house at - Asheboro on Wednesday preceding Christmas, lasted about three hours. Refreshments were served by the Randolph county club of the University. i NOTICE TO BAND MEN Band rehearsals will start this Thursday night, in the Band room, at 7 o'clock.

FORMER STUDENT HERE "Drinking and General Hell-Raising" Laid At Greeks' Doors. Louis Graves, editor of the Chapel Hill Weekly, finds that he believes fra ternities to be responsible for the "drinking and general hell-raising" tak ing place on the University campus. He expresses himself to that effect in "Ran dom Shots" appearing in the issue of his paper for December 2. Mr. Graves was formerly a student here. He was for sometime in metro politan newspaper circles and returned here several years ago as professor of journalism. He later established the Chapel Hill Weekly. The article is reproduced in full: "These naughty colleges! "Almost every week you read In the newspapers of some new deviltry for which a president or a faculty has been compelled to mete out punishment. "A few months ago it was the Har vard Lampoon that got into hot water by publishing stuff that was, or was al leged to be, not fit to print. Then, last week, an issue of the University of Vir ginia's humorous publication was sup pressed, because of ultra-salacious mat ter, and the president of the institution made a public statement telling of how two or three of the editors had been re quired to resign their posts. And, the same day that this came out, it was dis- closed that the President of Davidson College, in North Carolina, had made the ; editor of the college magazine resign his job because of 'too much sex in the contents. "The episode that brought the Uni versity of Nopth Carolina into the lime light, was the order of the president can celling all dancing until after Easter on account of drinking at the Thanksgiving week dances. "I was in college many years ago and am therefore necessarily 'out of touch.' A man who is not actually mixed up in campus life cannot know just what going yoa. But if conditions are what they were when I was an undergrad uateand considerable questioning leads me to think they are not far different in this respect my opinion is that the main source of the trouble, as far as drinking and general hell-raising are concerned. is: fraternities. "I do not mean, and do not believe, that fraternity members - are naturally any more vicious than the non-members. But they have got more money to spend, more of what is called "social position,' and hence greater temptations- and greater opportunity to play the part of gilded youth. The young man for whom somebody else is putting up the money not infrequently too much of it does not take education quite so seriously as the one who has to get down and dig "If I had the power to abolish frater nities at a stroke, I would not do it. believe that the system having grown to the State it is now in, such a course would make matters worse than they are. But I do believe there mwds to be a big house-cleaning. The fraternity men had better get at it themselves. "I have no hesitation in declaring this If the leading men in the Greek letter fraternities, in any institution where these - organizations flourish, took genuine, sincere stand against the use of alcohol, drinking would Immediately cease to be a problem."
