Thursday, February 4 1926 The fight over the TuncombeQT seems t Lave dissolved into a series of charges and counter-charges con cerning politics. The real issue is receiving very little attention. ' Charges are being made that the proposed change is being opposed by a frame-up. That lets us out. The Tab Heel is controlled by no group or groups. The proponents of change state that they have no complaint against the present council. Then why change it? If organized work will put a meas ure through, the vote on the pro posed change should be decidedly in favor of it. So far as we can de termine, there is no definite organ ized force opposing it. On the con trary, the political machine that is being perfected to sweep the cam pus in the apring elections,, is doing all in its power to shove the measure through. The proponents of the bill have every advantage in their favor, We do not favor the following plan over the present; yet we do over that which is proposed. Instead of creating new offices, why not have the trice-presidents act as council- men; Then the leaders could be elected presidents and not be "bur dened with council duties. The "judicial-minded" student could be elected vice-president and thus his position would become useful as well as ornamental. Such a plan as this would; continue to tie the council to class government. The proponents of the. change insist that they are not interested in creating new offices; let us hear what they have to say to this, i the Baptists, then they should raise a cry of protest. ' But there are a good many follow ers of the Carolina quint that would like to know WHY Wake Forest de feated the Tar Heels. There are always reasons for every victory and every defeat. The local team is ac customed to playing on a large court; then isn't it possible that the l-hange to a smaller court may have affected their playing? The state ment that the Wake Forest court is small doesn't necessarily cast reflec tion on its team, but it can account very materially for short-comings of the Chapel Hill five. Of course, per haps the team should have been able to rise above this difficulty; but it didn't this time and was defeated. Nobody in Chapel Hill would at tempt to deny Wake Forest's claim to victory." We admit that a story of explanation usually leaves a bad taste in one's mouth and brands one as a hard loser. But we believe also that the Wake Forest boys will agree they weren't supposed to lick Carolina, and that their superior playing might have been accompan ied by poorer playing on Carolina's part. From Wake Forest there went out stories telling how the Baptists beat Carolina; from Chapel Hill there went out stories telling why Carolina failed to beat Wake Forest. A case of dealing with the same story from different angles. OPEN FORUM WAKE FOREST PROTESTS The Old Gold and Black has raised its voice in vigorous protest against the Tar Heel's and Univer sity News Bureau's accounts of the defeat recently suffered by the Uni- Baptists. The Wake Forest people think these articles an attempt to belittle and explain away the Deacons' vic tory. If the stories were written in an effort to take credit away from Fellow Studentss We Carolina men claim that we live in a democratic atmosphere. We enumerate with pride and pleasure the democratic ideals and customs we follow. " Yet we submit almost without resistance to a groundless attack upon our long-established institutions. Is it democratic to attempt to throttle and stamp out an issue of campus-wide importance? ; Monday morning at chapel the "stain less" opponents of the proposition to separate student council offices from those of class presidencies tried an un successful "coup d'etat" They took ad vantage of the ignorance of the vast ma jority of those present, and attempted to dispose of this proposition in an un precedented manner. Only the alert mind of one of the proponents of the proposed change prevented tins un worthy motion from succeeding. - In .an eloquent attack upon the sup porters of tfie new plan, one of the prominent ' leaders of the opposition branded the whole proposition as the culmination of a mighty attempt to con trol the political machine of the campus and to destroy the already weak author ity of the student council. He practi cally termed the sincere adherents of the proposed system pliant minions of power, who cared not for the welfare of the student body, so long as their own selfish aspirations were attained. In spite of these accusations, the same dis tinguished leader of the opposition ad mitted In chapel Tuesday that he him self had engaged in political "frame ups". Who is he to be a criterion to the rest of us? Such an inconsistency as this is favorable to no worthy cause. It seems obvious to me that the tables are turned. This very admittance prac tically proves the existence of an organ ized "frame-up" whose purpose is to crush this well-founded issue. wnen torcea to tne wau, tnese "so called unbiased opponents" of this plan give as their reason for desiring to kill the issue at the outset the fact that they thought it was not sufficiently well sup ported to merit consideration. They do hot take into consideration that both literary societies went on record as fa- vorlng the proposed change. They do not take into consideration that it was defeated by only one vote in the meet ing of the Campus Activities Commit tee. It seems to me that these 'facts clearly prove that they , are afraid to face' the question. .Will we be deceived into defeating an issue that doubtless will be of utmost "importance to the fu ture pf our beloved alma mater? I be lieve not. D. E. Hudoens. a Melting Fct Br C. W. B. The day will come when removal of faculty dictatorship over a helpless stu dent body here will bring about a new or der. Men will then educate themselves of their own volition not spend four years in taking notes, cramming in capsules of information, feverishly catching classes from fear of the roll-book record rather than from a genuine desire to learn something. The human spirit chafes at subjection and compulsion. We may be mad, even to suggest optional class at tendance at the University of North Carolina. But so are our gloomy breth ren. Better is the fine freniy of the man who chases the rainbow than the misanthropy of his brother who rocks on his coat tails and nurses his grouch between his knees. .."'.'. If the students signing a letter with the initials "W. E. R. and R. S. A." will furnish the Tab Heel with . their names, their letter will be published. Acknowledgement is made of a letter from Mr. Alvin Kartus favoring the proposed separation of class officers and councilmeu. Our favorite campus cynic refuses to utter a favorite weekly saying. Says that if he does, he might be ac cused of being implicated in a frame up. -" :""V The regular meeting of the Fayette- ville club will be held , Monday night We wait patiently for the Great American Novel. The bigger frogs in the literary puddle today are too busy trying to impress us with their great ness to take time in sifting down Amer ican life, daring to paint it as It is, and letting us have the result in a worth while novel What we really want is a novel showing us all the hidden under currents of an ambitious man's career his struggles and failures, and' hopes, and victories. It would be an immense success. Certainly the wooing of for tune would prove quite as interesting a tale as the' wooing of any flesh and blood maiden, for Fortune is very like a wom an, indeed as tne ancient painted ner quite as fickle, as unreasonable, as in consistent The February 2nd issue of Old Gold and Black, Wake Forest student news paper, Is in large part given over to puerile crowing over the basketball vic tory over Carolina. Carolina, the gem of the ocean, don your sackcloth and ashes ! News spreads, editorials, column comments, et cetera, and then atop of all that blow-off the editor charges Caro lina as being "a poor loser." The news boy makes a grimace at the man of affairs, but is it becoming to the .dig nity of the m.oa. to come back at the newsboy? It's amusing to watch them crow. Cock-a-Doodle-Doo 1 We won a basketball game!! Add Rah Rahs, three times five.

The Moslem prays! In the gray dawn of a tawdry room a woman awakens from a troubled sleep, Recollections of a happy girlhood come wt ti hltoht her awakening. Unbid den tears well into her eyes eyes that were once beautiful. Slowly' she rises, and down beside the couch of disgrace she bows the head of black tresses in Magdalene's prayer of repentance. The Magdalene prays! - . . v i....? . , Within the splendor of God's temple, with its Bible, it alter and its sacra mental atmosphere, a man kneels on vel vet cushions and reads the cold lines of prayer printed in a book. The man prays! , ;'. In the calendar of human life these things happen every day. And yet there are those who scoff at religion. Deluded cynics, posing as intellectuals, infest the campus of every institution of this size. In numbers they are few, but their pres ence is sinister in influence. They laugh at that divine Something in man that makes him worship. ,. The chanted creeds of all the pagan world, the churches dotted over all the dwelling places of Christian faith, the voice of sin-stained souls lifted in prayer, the beliefs that men fight for, the eternal verities that uphold mankind's belief in the Ultimate -surely these abide with us as proof of the" existence of some Infinite Being .The skeptics, even as we, are continually held up by the pres ence of some kindly Master Hand, lead ing us on. BAPTISTS PROTEST AGAINST EXCUSES Old Gold and Black Rises Up in Arms. DEFENDS W. F. VICTORY Tin Doesn't Think the University's Can Is So Very Hot Wake Forest students must have got ten considerably wrought up over certain articles that went out from Chapel Hill following the Wake Forest-Carolina bas ketball game, if the current issue of the Old Gold and Black is to be taken se riously. , - Editorially the paper has to say: "The issue of the Tar Beet of Janu ary 23 was indeed an advertising medium for Wake Forest. In the first place our desire for a new gymnasium was given more publicity, and quoting from the Tar Heel, "some patriotic Baptist alumnus ought to loosen his purse-strings and present his alma mater with a real place to play the "winter sports.". Thanks, Lu ther Byrd $ you gave added vent and new. impetus to our views. With, two college1 publications ,? sharing tha same opinion it looks as if we might induce gome "old grad" to turn the trick, "However, In this "connection we would advise that we make the advertisement mutual, and, that our plea be supple mented by an appeal to the University alumni to replace the "Tin Can" by a modern gym. "A flurry of alibis for the loss of the Deacon-Tar Heel basketball game seems to have been"; the' principal . news ftera issuing from Chapef Hill during the past week. The unsportsmanlike comment on the game can have but one effect rthe branding of Carolina as a poor loser. For years Carolina has been content to annex 25-23 and 22-18 games from the Baptists,' with no alibis being offered on the part of Wake Forest, and now that Wake Forest has finally - succeeded in downing the Tar Heels, every conceiv able and inventive excuse has been of fered. The truth of the matter is that Carolina was the unfortunate victim of circumstances in having their engage ment with the deacons scheduled on Jan uary 20 the day of Hank Garrity's re signation. We venture to say that prac tically any Southern team would have been defeated on the same night, for the players were determined that the ath letic regime of Garrity should end in victory and not in defeat, and to that end they played. ;' - "For an answer to Carolina's alibis we refer you to the column headed "Tip- Offs." :. "Tip-Offs" has the following to say: "The King isnt King Any More." Popuar song hit Try this on your "Vic", U. N. C supporters maybe you don't yet realize it. "We are sorry they don't like our "Pig Pen", as their .sport writer terms the scene of action where his team met its first North Carolina defeat in six years. .- "Flash" Ellington had another good night. High scorer over three All-South ern men isn't bad. "Eh What?" "Dribbling through these same men and caging a counter is no bad feat. - It must be remembered that Capt Monk has this to his credit . "We are taking a few random re turns at the numerous, alibis offered by Carolina for the loss of one mem orable basketball game, as follows: "Alibi No. 1 Lax refereeing "Random Return No. 1 In the words of "Pop" Card, of Duke University, a veteran follower of the court game, 'It was the cleanest game and one of the easiest to referee that I have ever witnessed.' Carolina was given twelve shots from the foul line " and Wake .wva..jt., w who. was given the edge : .in,the.refereeing, Carolina or Wake' Forest?1 ' ' r "Alibi No.' 2.'Boxlike dimensions of the court and low rafters.' " "Random . Return No. 1 The court is admitted to be inadequate, but at no time did this hamper the Tar Heels in their playing Incidentally, two Wake Forest and two Carolina attempted shots hit the rafters. . VAlibi No. .3.-Luckion the part of Wake Forest players.'! Quoting from the Tar Heel : 'Ellington sauntered out into his horseshoe orchard and plucked off a large and luscious bunch of luck pieces to drape around his 'neck, and then he proceeded to drop three long shots through the netting from all ranges and angles, one of them being from the center of the floor while he looked in the opposite direction.' "Random Return No. 3. -This feat of Elington's, according to Byrd. was some miracle. We hope that the mira cle can be duplicated on February 16 in the Tin Can. However, it is a shame that Jack Cobb did not venture into a three-leaf clover patch and proceed to entwine himself with a few luck-pieces instead. of duplicating the Alphonse and Gaston . act when open for crio shots. The tale might have been different. "Alibi No. 4. Bunn Hackney's mar riage was an omen of ill luck, so the loss was blamed on romance. "Random Return No. 4. We have no comeback.' Here is a perfect alibi for the loss. Blame it on romance."
