The Ta Hkel "The dive taken hv mlW Chapel Hill, N. C. f n literary publications into the land of smut appears to be a Tecent departure. They former ly strove to be literary; now they strive to be sensational. This is certainly true of our own campus Magazine. "Any thing that will be read, and any thing to fill it up" is' apparent ly the editorial policy. "Devoid of a 'necking table such as was printed last year, the Magazine evidently ran the article, These Perilious Times,' as the nearest acceptable sub stitute. The Biblical Recorder broadcasts to the Baptists of the state that this student pub lication of : the University is handling sex in a light and f rivi lous Vein. The article should never have been , printed and the Recorder is within its right in objecting to juvenile treat ment of such fundamental im portance." ' With what has the Tar Heel I Dear Sirs In your issue of January 9, 1926 you state that The Carolina Magazine has dived into smut, that it has printed ar ticle handling the problem of the .sexes "in a light and frivolous vein," You fol low an unfortunate mis-representation recently came out in the public press, Instead of attempting to correct it. You also have, I think, entirely mis represented the facts, for what reason I must say I cannot see. I wrote , an article on sex which ap peared last year. I edited the" article which appeared this year. The subject is an important one and certainly merits the attention of students. In both cases with which I have been concerned the subject has been traeted seriously and thoughtfully. Any mind Which sees smut in the articles which have appeared in The Magazine is just naturally a smutty mind. So far as I am concerned it is all right to make your jokes about unes sential matters; but when you deliber ately misrepresent matters, which, If they were as you represent them should have serious consequences, I think you are going too far. People who do not read The, Magazine may form entirely wrong opinions, and inestimable harm Tie Melting Pet By C. W. B. Guardians of the plastic age are find ing their task a hard one. Youth, pli able and full of fire, is ever in con flict with tradition. -Our elders, forget ting that they too once loved the dance j of life when the spirit was young, fear for our souls while we are under the tutelage of the choicest intellect of the land. Comes a . shot from one observant mind: "In the day of the highly explo sive mixture of youth, gasoline and liquor borne- swiftly on balloon tires to remote retreats; in an era of college publications skating on the thinnest pos sible ice of decency, it would take Her cules himself to guarantee a fair sub stitute, and I believe that the Augean stubles were, in comparison, an early season practice.' , A few college students drink. .
