The Tar Heel solicits adver tising from reputable concerns only. Tuesday, May 18, 1026 PARAGRAPHICS ! Three more weeks and freshmen will be' sophomores in years. Yesterday found ' many students completely worn out after 1 such a strenuous week-end. .Good thing that it eanie two weeks ..before ex- t animations. , .. - Whining ' two chainpionsliips' in track in one year is quite a feat, though the Tar Heel harriers' did this in winning the State and South ern Conference titles this year. J Pluvius did "hot prevent seven new 'records from being set Saturday and. leaving harriers in future meets more strenuous work. It will be a long time before another such meet will be held. The perspicacious. ( ?) seniors look uneasy in their new regalia. One of the flock says that he can't see any need for such decoration unless it is to let his professors know that he is supposed to graduate in June. Freshmen and sophomores of Cor nell University recently staged their annual "mud rush" and 'it is said that brawn won over brains, though both sides -played dirty. Carolina has her period of annual mud sling ing just before elections. The May number of the Carolina Magazine is causing more comment than any other issue- this . year , ap parently. Bill Couch's editorials, "We Are the People," and "Out of the Mouths of .Babes" has caused all .kinds of reactions on the campus. Letters to the Editor and some good stories and articles give added pep to the issue. .' . ' Archibald TV Davidson, associate professor of music at Harvard and conductor of the Harvard .Glee Club, declares that because Americans are musically uneducated or miseducated, the United States is not a musical nation. Carolina is conventional in this respect or it was Friday night when only 69 people attended the violin concert. But maybe other at tractions caused the small crowd at WHERE CHIEF CREDIT BELONGS Every membejr' of the Carolina track squad deserves praise of high measure for his work in bringing to the University the Southern Confer ence track title. In preparation for this big event they .had been in train ing for many months, even years, go ing through drills that require the most in patience, hard work, and en durance. And all the while, by the very nature of things, the sport lov ing public had been giving their ef forts but scant attention as compared with the "praise meted out week )n week to the heroes of the gridiron. But alt this is straying a bit from the subject at hand. What we were trying to, say, briefly,' by a circuitous route of arriving at our iirain theme, is that traek. has not been fully ap preciated hereabout,, and -that the men who have given their best efforts to , help popularize it deserve all the "more credit on' account of that fact. - These men will go down in Carolina track history as pioneers of the new era in the development of that'sport 'here. And, in the long V run, their efforts will not go unre warded ; for, some of these days, in the not distant future, track will be drawing the crowds that now attend football games. The time is surely coming, -and there is no mistaking the fact. The signs are to be read now. Years ago football drew but a small attendance. But the pioneers kept plugging away, the newspaper? k? jt boosting it,' and soon the populace began, to flock to the gridiron. .His tory repeats itself, which is another way.of saying that track, is going to have its day before long. Thus," in a roundabout way, we come to our main .topic. It has to do with ;Coach Bob Fetzer the man to whom chief" credit for Carolina's victory last Saturday must go. Five years ago Coach Bob set for himself and his men a goal, and xn Saturday last that goal; was reached. Had it not been reached last Saturday, it would have been reached a year later, or, if not then, a year still later. ..For Coach Bob is not" made of the stuff that allows backsliding. Nat Cartnell and Doctor Kent Brown had been highly successful in devel oping winning teams, but the era just after the war when Coach Bob came' on- the" scene, found interest in track on the wane here. Coach Bob immediately set about to do two things.: to give his men thorough training and to instill in them the highest ideals of the sport. From the very start he enjoyed the con fidence and cooperation of his men, and fit is thus that he has got the best they had to give. The records of the Carolina men since that time, as sketched in these columns in the last issue, tell the story far better than we could. They show a steady progress during the five years. There has not been even's momentary back sliding. " Our hat is off to Coach B,ob. i ..I t Calendar University Press Occupies New Home in Person Hall Tuesday' May 18 1:30 p. m.

UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA GIVES CONCERT SUNDAY The office and shipping room of the University Press is now situated in the west wing of the Old Pharmacy building, or Person Hall, which has been thor oughly renovated. ' ' 1 t For some years the Press had been situated in the much crowded library building. "While it is under the control of Dr. Louis Wilson it has no organic relation to the library, and now with W. T. Couch in charge it is occupying its new quarters' in Person Hall. ' The library has transferred Its con gressional set of government documents and many duplicates to its book stacks in the central part and the east wing of this same building'.' New Charging Desk for Library Now Being Made The University carpenter shop is mak ing a charging dr.sk for the library. The new desk will be made of oak and will be 28 feet long. ' This will replace' the old desk which is but eight feet long. The new desk will be installed In about two weeks. It will extend eight fcel far ther into the lobby, and because of its size it will be necessary to rearrange te catalogue cabinets. This desk will re lieve the congested condition of the desk, and at the same time give much-needed working space, The last concert of the year given by thej Music Department of the University was held Sunday afternoon In Memorial Hall, where the: University Symphony orchestra held forth. - : . The program was. almost altogether, light, and too much of one vein to be considered1 altogether balanced, the Uni versity Symphony orchestra give better renditions of pieces that are light and airy than those of some, weight and depth,, so perliaps the program could be, called well chosen. , The1 program' opened . with Grety's Overture, in D, which was followed by Preludti, L'Arhiene by Bizet. Mozart's Jupiter Symphony, in three movements j Allegro Aivace, Miniietto arid Finale, MoltO Allegro was next ton the, program. In: this the orchestra" was at its best, and gave a good rendition of the Sym phony,' ; ,' . .''..- V - The Violin Quartet gave Severn's Gavotte Modtrne, a light quickly moving affair, and followed it by Berenata Napo litana by d'Alessio. Andante, from Tschaikowsky's Fifth Symphony, arrang ed by Ambrosio, was perhaps the best offering of the Quartet. L,a '.in g ana, by Bohm ended the selections by the quartet. Gillet's Panne Pied, the Vienese Melody by Kreisler, and Triumphal March of the lioyardu by Hulvorsen ended the concert. The last was a stirring affair, quite In place and allmatic. v. ' . s t The Carolina : Playmakers returned Thursday from their tour of "The First Year" in the western part of the state, having traveled 800 miles and played ap proximately 8,000 people. The plfiy was well received. . " Prof. Koch accompanied the players to see how the audiences reacted to a professional comedy and although the people expressed great pleasure in being able to see this phrase of the Playmakers' work, in each town visited a number of people . requested that the Playmakers come back next year with their own folk plays. The Ptuyraakers had fine weather dur ing the trip, and toured in the mountains near Asheville where they stayed Sunday. In Badin they visited the aluminum works which is one of the largest in the country. At Lincolnton they were, met five miles out of town at the county line by 72 members of the High School Dramatic Club and escorted through the. streets of Lincolnton with music and yells. At Burnsville, which is located in that region called Little Switzerland, an audience completely filled the hall an hour before the time set for the per formance." The Playmakers, having been delayed, arrived at. 7:30 and the scenery was unpacked,, put up, and the curtain rose at 8:25. The stage crew headed by the stage manager, K. G. Dacy and his assistants, Ted Weaver and B. H. Car penter, were the most efficient eved had by the Playmakers. Throughout the entire tour there was not one complaint, changes being made in some cases in the short time of four minutes. . The largest audience was at Winston- "Salem in the Reynolds Auditorium where 1,085 people saw "The First Year" under the auspices of theHi-PIayers which I V.

The best papers from each school were graded entirely on the basis of the number of errors made, and in the opinion of the examining commit tee the papers receiving the highest grades were .very noteworthy achieve ments. The number of possible errors in the examination was almost countless, since every won! and every letter pre sented opportunity for mistake. The whining papers were almost without er ror." . ; . ...

For a whole week the august seniors will throw off their dignified air and adopt a playful mood. Then back to the old grind for a week af scientific cramming before exams. After, that, commencement ' and a precious roll of sheep skin. Good luck to you, seniors. May each one of you get yours by the end of the summer school, anyway. '', . Anecdote : ;A certain student wrule a certain poem the other day and sent it to the editor of the Carolina Magazine. Frank ly, this poem was pretty rotten but not much worse than the usual run of blank verse printed in the Magazine, and the author had excellent reason to believe that.lt would be published. However, as a whimsical afterthought, he added a line asking the editor, in case he could not use the poem, to return it so that it might be sent to the Buccaneer, '."(The author of " the poem is on the staff of the Buccaneer, and, therefore, wished to give it second chance). The Magazine editor Could not usi the masterpiece, but he is not a man who holds malice toward his , contemporaries; he forwarded the contribution immediately to the captain of the pirate crew. It is said that the editor of the comic fell into a swoon when he read the peurile literary effort and his assistant, after reviving his chief, sent the contribution ; to the Yackety Yaek office. According to report, the poem had been rejected by nearly every publication on the campus, Including the Freshman Bible, and was just about on the point of being given a prominent place in the Alumni Review when last heard from.

"Cut Out That Blanketq-Blank In commenting on the announcement of a volume on the Truth About Jazz," the paiagrapher for the Greensboro Daily Ne-cs observes that folks will "print mighty nigh anything for general circu lation."
