The Glee Club's slogan seems to be "Bigger and Nigger Music". , j With the try-outs for cheer leaders now in progress certain men have as sumed a markedly cheery look and "Cheerio" greeting. Says the Greensboro' News "Just as though there was no Duke Uni versity here comes the" state and puts a Xoble in its educational department." The ' interest taken in the Hoops seminarby several students in grati fying. Evidently A. B. S. Vik and II-. It. F. are not entirely alone in their "Little love of learning." Another jazz orchestra is organr-i-M'.d ! From our sanctum at midnight we are reminded of a quotation from Pope: : ' , . " While Ralph to Cynthia howls And makes night hideous; answer him, ve owls." Senator Poole will speak in Mem orial Hall Tuesday on the Poole bill at the invitation of the Di Senate. Tin; students will be glad to bear his side of this question, as they were glad to hear discussion of -the Ku Klux Klan, the Gutzon' Borglum af fair, and the La Follette party last year. . Mr. Ploale's ', speech should prove interesting at least. " NOT AGNOSTIC ; Mistakes occur in the best of news papers. This time it is the Tar Heel. We hasten to correct an impression that may have been conveyed in an article in Tuesday's issue. Refer ence is to. the news story headed "Agnostic Club Is Organized Here." The headline is decidedly mislead ing, for in the second paragraph the author of the story specifically states that "the club has no official name." furthermore, the headline does an in justice to "Parson" Moss in that it leaves the impression that he is di" recting an "agnostic club." The Tar Heel willingly assumes responsibility for the erroneous im pression that may have been convey ed. The article was not written by a Tar Heel reporter, but a member of the newly organized club and was ac cepted in good faith It now appears that the author, Mr. Jack Crow, may have been a bit overzcalous in telling of the aims of the new organization, though, wc are sure he "did not in tend Xo give the wrong impression. The headline writer evidently took his" cue from the statement of the author that "the students don't care what it (the club) is called so long as it is not referred to as a "Bible class." Headline writers don't like to leave things nameless; but, in this case, he, too, appears to have been a bit overzealous. - In the twinkle of an eye, as it were, he has given the University campus an 'agnostic club' gratis and has placed a harmless Presbyterian parson in charge of the new works. ?,,'; ; It's simply one of those things that happens in the best of well regulated newspaper offices. Copy for the Tar Heel has to be gathered in a hur ry, edited in a hurry, and printed in a hurry. Snap judgment plays a big role. In the; rush of things not infre quently there is a slip-up somewhere in the paper. The Tar Heel is print ed in only one edition, and there is no proof reading, except what is done by the printers. 'St's remarkable that more mistakes don't occur. Attention is directed to a letter from the "Parson',' which is publish ed in the Open Forum in this issue. He explains the purpose of the club in terms that are clear and emphatic enough to leave no ' doubt as to its aims. "Here is a group of young men," he says, "who of their own free will and accord have asked the preacher to unfold the story of re ligion. They are simply seeking light and both in their motive and discus sions are deeply reverent. He right ly adds that "the word 'agnostic', as applied to the club, is unfortunate." Interpreted correctly, the Tar Heel sees not the slightest harm in the purpose of the new campus or ganization, but, on the other hand, it does see a world of good that may come of it. The Tar Heel heartily approves the purpose of the: new or ganization, and, with such direction as "Parson" Moss is capable of giv ing, it ought to do as much toward promoting the religious welfare of the student body as any other organ ization on the campus. '" OPEN FORUM SPEEDWAY A word of appreciation is due to the building and grounds committee for providing the students a speed way by paving Cameron Avenue and to the owners of Wills St. Claires, Nashes, and the more well known stript down variety of the "Capacity One Hot Mama" species for provid ing daily sport with all the thrills of the race track. - These daring demons dash through the campus with their mile-a-minute pace at all hours of the day, the excitement reaching its greatest "height during the seven minutes in terval between classes, at chapel pe riod, and in the afternoons. It is gratifying to note hundreds of, stu dent standing along the sidewalks enjoying the spectacle of the whizz ing roadsters. Many of them delay themselves from classes, but what is a little tardiness on class for the in terest of sport? This excellent iea ture'of college adds quite a zest to the life of two thousand pedestrians students and develops nimbleness in dodging cars. College graduates are not men likely to be able to afford automobiles, it is claimed, but they are compensated by being well-trained pedestrians. These local speeders incur a' slight violation of the law, of course ; but ca ne fait rien Cameron Avenue is not policed, and the honor code does not apply to the trivial matter of speeding. Intercollegiate football is declared conductive to drinking, gambling, and dishonesty among students and also to neglect of their work. ' This condemna tion was made by a committee of the American Association of University Pro fessor) at a recent meeting. . My Dkah Mr. Editor: " Myjjfriend, Mr. Jack Crow, may have given a wrong impression in his recent article in the Tar Heel on what he calls the Agnostic Club. If so, it was unin tentiomil. I was invited by this group of young men "to be their leader in the weekly study of religion. The word "agnostic", as applied to the class is unfortunate. I wasn't aware that we were flying under that or any other banner we haven't found a suitable banner as .yet. I re member that some one suggested that we call ourselves something similar to agnostic. But I paid no attention to the suggestion at the time. For what interested me was that all these young men were serious and that their object in meeting was simply to study religion in order to understand more fully its claims upon them. ! Agnosticism Is the doctrine that the human being is incapable of knowing Reality. This class is coming to see that Reality is the one thing the human being does .know. - Hence, the Tar Hbei. article might convey the very opposite idea to that for which the class stands. Here is a group of young men who of their own free will and accord have asked the preacher to unfold the story of religion.- ; They are simply - seeking light and both in their motive and dis cussions nre deeply reverent The class meets "every, week and I regard it as one of the best religious opportunities and experience I ' have enjoyed since coining to Chapel Hill. M. Crow remarks to the effect that hidebound orthodoxy is execrated both by parson and students. 1 take him to mean that neither parson nor students are meeting for the purpose of making themselves hidebound in their beliefs. The Parson is orthodox even if he wouldn't want to pass as, ' hidebound. And several of these young men have ac knowledged, already that once a man understands religion there isn't anything else for him to be but to be orthodox. It is to be hoped that none of them will ever be hidebound. Sincerely yours, W. D. Moss. "Y" TRAINING SCHOOL TO BEHERE MAY 7-8 Newly Elected Y. M. ' Cs A.
