And another year has passed when it didn't rain in Greensboro while the annual classic was being played. More track records are broken! A few more .broken records in track records and nobody will be able to 'keep a record of the records. We are wondering if the "social track meet" which was held in the "Hut" Friday night was anything like the track meet which was held in Gerrard Hall some time ago.. ' In preparing for- the May Day celebration this week the Duke co eds are giving a pageant of the Sleeping Beauty instead 'of the old English May Day program. Looks like our sleeping . beauties would wake up and give us an exhibition. - In discussing how long the skirt of a fashionable dress should be, "a newspaper story says "four or five inches from the ground is the edict of Queen Mary in spite of the ex- posed knees which Paris , designers have been .favoring." The Paris de signers apparently had more influ ence in Greensboro Saturday than the Queen of England. The hobo college of Chicago has already held its commencement and graduated 150 members. The college was established through the benefi- cience of James Howe, "millionaire hobo", who rented a large hall where lectures, clinics, concerts and other entertainment was provided through the winter to approximately 20,000 men of the vagrant type. The diplo mas have been awarded to the first group of graduates. Looks like we are going to have to go to Chicago yet to get our sheepskins." PHENOMENAL SUCCESS Although the progress of the Uni versity for the past decade has been remarkably rapid, the recent promi nence gained by a formerly neglected part of the curriculum here merits the special attention of a thinking student body. ; ' ' We refer to the strides made by the music department under its head, Paul John Weaver. The sudden bursting into limelight by .the Uni versity's Glee Club and the extension work achieved by the departmental staff reflects credit, not only on the officials identified with the new pro gram, but also on the entire school. Many of the graduate students here remember with some amusement the role played by the choral organiaa tion their freshmen years.' Seven years ago the present head of the department of music assumed the directorship of a comparatively unimportant part of the student ac tivities, the Glee Club. Gradually new 'policies were introduced, and more consideration was forthcoming from the administrative board. In terest was revived in a dormant or ganization, which, in the nineties, had made the University known by it's version of a nationally sung crea tion, a lullaby parody on the much sung 1 "Miss " Winslow's Soothing Eventually longer trips were made by a better trained group of singers and the reputation ' of the Club spread. Now, through the efforts of the new director, a choral body worthy of the institution is no longer a fancy, but a practical reality. And the embryonic stage did not last long. Within the last three years awards to deserving members have been introduced by the club officers. A national musical fraternity has been established here. .Trips cover ing not only Southern states but also distant Kansas and New York have been undertaken, and the University has benefited by the. wholesome ad vertisement of a successful glee club. We doubt if a more effective refuta tion ' of recent criticisms of this faithless institution" could be found than the inspirational program pre sented by these singers. And the officers have had signal success in their enterprises. In the accomplishment of the cooperation of state glee clubs we see the realization of an ideal conceived here. Further, Southern Association of College Glee Clubs has been formed ; and in it the University is honored by the election of its director to the presi dency. In addition to this, the last year has brought to Mr. Weaver two honors significant in the history of tliis institution and state. In a re cent meeting of a few selected dele gates to the . National Supervisors' Conference, the University's dean of music was chosen vice-president of that body. Acting in this capacity, he will also edit the organization s publications, , the headquarters for which will be in Chapel Hill. It is indeed commendable that the Univer sity should be so highly esteemed in musical circles that it is elected the center of all the country's ' public school music for two years. '" Those who consider the cultural value of - an efficient music depart ment will see more than an expen sive lark in the recent trips made by the "first glee club south of the Mason-Dixon line to appear in concert at New York City." Furthermore, we are told that the organization was featured, with comments on the Uni versity's progress, in no less, than four national musical magazines, and that only one of these omitted a pic ture of the Tar Heels. , , Details are useless. , But the fact remains:' the' University, awaking from a deep sleep, is taking its place in the musical world also and the Old North State is benefiting. .'. ROYAL ENTERTAINMENT , We 'were ' keenly disappointed when the annual invitation from N C. C. W. did not arrive here in time to be published in the Tar Heel Sat urday. , " .v: . ' I '" The president of the student body of ' our 'sister institution , generally issues an invitation to the student body of Carolina to attend a recep Hon on the lawn on the night after the Virginia-Carolina game in the Gate City. The invitation was is' sued this year, as usual, but because of some unfortunate happening it was not received here in time to be announced before the crowd had de parted.' Hbwever, the cheer leader read the desired piece of paper to those in the bleachers and the word was quickly passed around. Invitation or no invitation the crowd would have been out to the colleges Saturday night to personal ly thank the girls of N. C. C W. and G. C. for the splendid support l m t i mi 1 given to tne lar neeis , ine aay was ideal for baseball, the game was good, the band lent its best, and the staccato and legato yells were the best ever. The way the girls supported the team was indeed impressive, but the manner in which they handled the reception Saturday night was par excellent. Never before have' Caro lina students been treated with such friendliness. The whole" campus was a speak-greet-meet affair. Students were stationed on all parts of the campus to help visitors locate the de sired buildings or parties and in each of the dormitories were girls who acted as pages. Three one-act plays were performed during the evening for the entertainment of the visitors. All in air it was a great day and night. 1 OPEN FORUM- MR. BLUSKE WRITES Asheville,' N. C. Editor or Ta Heel, Chapil Hill, N. C. Non: Some time in October, 1925, I sent to the Editor of The Carolina Magazine a lot of my writings, which he did not pub lish. ; ' I have written many letters and sent stamps for it to be returned, but no re ply has come to mq, so, see if you can have my 'great works returned to me, or I shall bring suit against the university for 500.00. You "ignorant boobs" were too "slow" to see that I was the greatest scientist in the world, which I now will "prove" with my great invention. I am going to Canada soon, and it must be returned. Now go ye silly evolution gang. You're a disgrace to me, for I love Christ. Charles F. Bluske, Inventor of the New Science of Power, and the world's true teacher, who was to come according to the Bible writ ten at Asheville, N. C, the 4th month after the year 1925 of the New Era. Editor of the Tar Heel: I am sorry to say there are some very' low and common boys attending the Uni versity. I mean low life.

There is a small chipped place on the edge of the dial over the figure 2. This watch is an Elgin 21 jewel lever set watch. 1 This watch was given me by my grand father ten years ago, and I sure would like to recover it in some manner. I carried this watch with me three years in the Philippines, China and Japan. I was In the army -at this time, and would leave my watch and money out on the cot while bathing and I never missed a thing. Even soldiers, whom no one trusts, did not pick up these things, and they had plenty of chances. Then here at the University a fellow student steals my watch, a. regular thief. I wish you would put In this notice, please, that is, in one of the early papers. That if the man who took my watch out of my clothes at the locker-room of the gymnasium Thursday evening, be tween 4 and 5 oclock, I will give a lib eral reward to the person who returns it, and will not ask any questions. I do not wish to know , his name. , I hope that man will be gentleman enough to return it. Collin M. Arbitt. The Editor of the Tar Heels: ' The Southern Railway Company pull ed a dirty deul over the students Sat urday when it stopped the special train which carried the 'students to Gfeens boro and which was supposed to bring them back to Chapel Hill at Carrboro and mnde the poor, tired, sleepy boys walk a "country", mile at three o'clock in the morning to get back to the "Hill". If we can read correctly, the tickets which the students bought called for a trip from Chapel' Hill to Greensboro and from Greensboro , back to Chapel Hill and not baek to Carrboro. Had we we known hat we were to, walk from Carrboro back to Chapel Hill we would have hired a taxi to meet us, or would have gone on the bus in the first place. Had the Southern Company figured that by charging only 2.30 for the round trip they could only run their train back as far as Carrboro, they should have made their tickets read thusly, or should have added another ten cents charge to them, and run the train on through to Chapel Hill. . ' If "ye Editor" was on tliut" train he can easily sympathize,' with those who walked the hot streets of Greensboro all day and the campus of N. C. C W. until eleven , o'clock, and ;' then had to covet that mile from Carrboro to the "Hill" at that ungodly hour in the morn ing. ' Really, in our opinion, the South ern Company should be sued for breach of promise, failure to fulfill contract, fraud, cruelty - to dumb animals, and every other charge that could be brought against it. Thanking you for this little space in which to express my heartfelt opinion. ::-.-- ,. ' ' - J. E. C. OBSERVATION PLANE Oj J, N, Robbins TAR BABIES SWAMP . GREENSBORO HI 13-0 Gate City Lads Unable to Withstand Fierce Assault of Carolina Fresh men Here Thursday. The Carolina freshmen took Homer Coletrane's Greensboro Hi nine ' into camp, on Emerson field; Thursday after noon by a score of 13 to 0. The Tar Babies made at least one run in every inning, ! while Thomas, 'on the mound for the locals, was holding the Greens boro boys to four hits and no runs. Foard, first man up for the Tar Babies started things off by getting a sharp sin gle to right Satterfield's Infield out and Finlator's hit scored the first saeker with the 'first tally of the game. -The fresh men never stopped scoring till the game was called in the seventh. Fife, Greensboro hurler, , found the Tar Baby sluggers too much for him. After he had held them tj one run in the first stanza, they came back in the second and scored five times off his de livery.' He hit Coxe to start the inning, and then three straight singles followed by a, homer from the big bat of Edison Foard sent five men over the. rubber. .After getting a six run lead in the first two innings, the Freshmen continued to slam, the ball all over the lot, and when the game ended they had the Greensboro boys completely snowed un der.' Coach Lowe sent in a complete out field of substitutes towards the latter part of the game. Coxe and Furchess werethe heaviest hitters of the afternoon,' each getting three hits out of three trips to the plate. Two of Coxe's drives were good for the circuit. This pair of sluggers were closely followed by Foard and Finlator; the first baseman got three out- of five while Finlator got two safeties out of three times up. Jessup also came through with a homer in the fourth with two men on the sacks. Jones and Wyrick played a good game in the field for the high schoolers, and the latter landed one of fiis teams four hits. ' It should be said,' in fairness1 'to' Fife, that ' several of Carolina's ""lifts ' were of the fluke variety and with 'a' lit' tie tighter fielding behind htm 'he' would Imvc. made a hotter showing. ,""'l,'"l "l o Score hy Innings: '.

B.'s column that they must embellish ours in the same way. ' - . , We decided this week to use like ness of the new air flivver with which the Observer has been provided. How do you like it? Snappy model, eh? Like the regular army scouts, we inr tend to make more' or less sporadic ex cursions in the Observation Plane for the purpose of gathering up any loose information that may be scattered about We shall' drop in at -the Tab Heel office about once a weelf to make our report and to comment upon these observations. We realize that our observations and comments will not sound sweet to the ears of some, and as the army observer is often In danger of being shot so are we mjf to be the object of many more sizzling missives in the open forum, at the least, or the recipient f a pink trav eling slip from the registrar, aX the worst .' We can already hear the contents of this column being referred to as "high flown sentiment," "motor oil," "thin airy substance," and "gas leaks." Hark, Ye! , j Some vicious-minded fellow who with holds his own name and hides under the title of."Scibe of E. U. E." has become enraged at a bit of well meant criticism in this column and has chosen the stu dent body and the pilot of the Observa tion Plane, in particular, as targets for a bombardment of rotten tomatoes and stench bombs. His language sounds like that of the typical defeated soap box politician. It is a pity that any one should have to stoop to answer his mess of abuse and unfounded charges, but lest some be misled by his nngentlemanly and unsportsmanlike attack we shall make a few statements in reply. ; : First, the writer of this column em phatically denies that he wishes to be known as a member of what is known as the campus intelligentsia. Heaven forbid.- , ;'.-.' ',. ', Second, the Tar Heel is responsible to no party, group or faction. The assist ant editor owes his position to no one but the Tar Heel staff that elected him. Third, a columnist has the privilege of criticizing anything he wishes to criti cize. In fact, this is often his chief ob ject. He does not always expect his readers to accept his criticism, but he should not be eternally damned or made the object of personal abuse for employ ing his legal rights in carrying out the duties of his office. V ' Fourth, we think the Carolina student body would be a fairly decent; bunch if we could only be rid of such cheap mud slingers as the "Scribe of E. 0. B." Getting it Straight Let it be understood that we have, no quarrel with Epsilon Upsilon. EpsUon.

There seems to be no other way o fstarting him off., Evidently, the best and only thing to do. is to let the fresh man begin his college career by learning to look out for himself. . A Thankless Task, Reformation is a 'dangerous thing. People often look upon the reformer as being nothing short of an anarchist They see no reason for changing the things to which' they have been accustomed. They often resent proposed reforms merely because reformation must effect changes, and they Want the old order to remain. It is a peculiar thing. The new attracts us, but we cannot relinquish the old. MATMEN HAVE BEGUN THEIR SPRING TRAINING Coach Issues Call . for New Men ' Plans Under Way for Increasing Efficiency of Squad. Captain Ad Warren and his wrestling cohorts are taking daily work-outs in the Tin Can during their spring train ing period. The Tar Heel grapplers annexed the State Championship this year and high hopes are entertained for another State Championship and possibly South Atlantic laurels for the year 1928 1927.",,. ' : ; . Coach Quinlan and Captain Warren urge that everyone In any way inter ested in wrestling come out for the team. More men are needed for the squad, es pecially In the light weight classes. Men weighing from 100 pounds to 120 pounds are in greatest demand. Coach Quinlan and Manager Jones are working hard on a trip through the North. This trip will 'hot only be through Virginia, but will take the team into the real Northern states. (This trip will be a great inducement for men to come out for the squad.) Spring training is now in progress in the Tin Can every afternoon at 4:30. Work is being done on the general fun damentals of the game at present but the finer points will be demonstrated in detail later on in the season. in many ways. ' Plans are under way to further' in crease the efficiency and co-operation of the squad. A meeting of the old men, newcomers, and eevrybody. interested in wrestling will be held Friday night after the "Pick" to discuss the different prob-; lems and questions of the team. At this meeting will be discussed the advisabil ity of electing a secretary and treasurer for the squad, who will aid the manager U.
