The Tar Heel acknowledg
es the receipt of an anonymous
letter concerning the resignation
of Dr. R. B. Lawson. All com
' munications to the Tar HeeL
have to be -Bigned, not necessar
ily for publication, but to insure
the reliability of the source from
which they came. A pseudonym
may be published, if requested,
but the writer's real name must
accompany the communication.
If the writer of the anonymous
letter wished to have it publish
ed in the "Open Forum", he or
she will have to acknowledge
authorship.
A good many rumors have
been going the rounds of the
campus during the past week re
garding the football team. There
has been considerable confusion
as to what the actual facts are.
You can make up your mind
now, if you like, but our sug
gestion is that loose talk' be re
served until we know enough
to talk intelligently. Meanwhile,
give the coaches and players a
chance and maybe they'll give us
a .football team.
Tri or Semi-Weekly?
The first' issue of the Tar
Heel this fall carried an edi
torial announcing the fact that
orders had been given to con
tinue tri-weekly publication.
This marked the beginning of
.the second year as a tri-weekly
publication and hope was given
that such publication could be
- continued with the possibility
of looking for even better and
larger things in the future.
I But all that was expected has
not been forthcoming. The Bus
iness Manager has already felt
Ithe need of a change and has
taken the subject up with the
Publications Union Board, which
' is holding the matter, in abey
ance until student sentiment can
be registered in the approval or
disapproval -of a "change. 1
Last fall the Tar Heel made
its first appearance at tne
eading southern college tri
weekly newspaper." ; - After
struggling' until the end of the
first quarter it was thought to
be doomed to financial failure
and word was given that the
paper would return to its semi
weekly publication with the be
ginning of the second or winter
ouarter. The venture has
brought unexpected hardships
on both the editorial and busi
ness forces. However, during
the Christmas holidays arrange
ments were made whereby tri
weekly publication could contin
ue for a while longer. Thus the
entire force of the paper put its
shoulders against the wheel and
kept it going until 'the end of
the spring term. During the
summer stock was taken and it
was found that the paper had
passed through a hectic year,
not to mention the personal loss
es of some of the members of
the force. '- '
Talk and advice are the cheap
est thing we have come in con
tact with since "first coming to
the University. If we were to
look out into the student body-
today and calf John Doe and ask
him how many times he would
want the Tar Heel to come
out per week, he would very
probably say, seven. And this
would not be. Because he really
wants the paper that often. The
average student neither knows
nor cares how much work is re
quired to get the paper out three
times a week. He pays his dol
lar and quarter per year for the
paper and feels that every one
is compensated for his work on
the paper, and that he owes no
one a debt of gratitude.
' It is an undisputed fact that
no other undergraduate position
on the campus requires as much
time as does the editing of this
paper. .? Staying up all night,
busting courses, and missing
the would-be pleasures of college
life are some of the things that
go hand in hand with publica
tion work. . We can truthfully
say that we . spent more than
twice as much time working on
this paper last year, than we did
oh our courses. Still we realize
that this should not be the case,
We came to the University pri
marily to get an education or
what part of it we could, and
secondarily to devote part of our
spare time to activities. When
it comes to. putting the secon
dary object ahead of the pri
mary object as we have been
required to doit is time to cal
a halt and take stock to see just
where we are.
The Tar Heel could return to
a semi-weekly and still be the
leading college newspaper in the
South." To the best of our know
ledge, the Virginia, College Top
ics is the only paper in the South
that is issued more than once
a week, except, of course, the
Tar Heel. - r -
The whole issue revolves a
round the question, does the
student body want the staff of
the paper to sacrifice enough to
turn 6ut the publication ; three
times a week, or is it willing to
take it in semi-weekly form arid
be satisfied?
The "Open Forum" is avail
able. Should the Tar Heel re
main a tri-weekly or will a semi-
weekly be satisfactory? Let us
have your views.
Here I gather up and store
Sticks that drift upon my shore;
And you may find what you desire
On salty rainbows of my hre.

; Education
The last evil of which the
world will rid itself is education
Learning is the source and root
of all evil; 'twere better if the
world were all fools than part
wise and the rest ambitious. ' A
person who has a consuming de
sire for knowledge undergoes a
fire which even a Baptist of the
old foot-washing ' variety can't

Who dares admit having a friend

nomen to call ourselves college
STUDENTS ! for to be trite,
there ain't no such ' animal
There's a cranky sort of guy who
stays on the Hill and doesn't
enjoy the Orpheum spectacles,
;he squawking wenches of 49. He
has a craving tor education;
keep, your hand on your watch
while he's around. Then there's
the ". poor, but bound-to-rise ' de
votee of Minerva. He's shipped
for cheating. If ? there's one
thing we won't tolerate, that's
cheating . by the "student
body' of course. Who knows
a man who lives except that he
steal? From the time that we
take words from relatives and
visitors who valiantly lie about
the beauty of our baby-features,
our very existence is one of
thievery. But that's not in our
authorized reading list, is it?
With gusto we say, "Look at us,
friend Diogenes, and put out
your smelly lamp. We meet
classes almost every day; we
study enough to get by; we boost
our fraternity candidates in
every kind of election; we never,
never steal or cheat : and to hel
with the hypocrites. We are col
lege students, yes-sirree."
Because we are getting an
education, you know.
Cruelty
"I will lift up mine eyes to the
Hill, whence cometh my aid,'
saith a David anew. Villains
are in our camp. A Turkish
atrocity has been committed
against all horsedom. In this
day when women no longer sew,
but leave their worthless huS'
bands in order to concentrate in
circles for the salvation of more
useful animals, it is indeed an
incentive to the shedding
crocodile tears to find the yout
of the nation undoing the good
ladies' work. The cream of. the
land, whatever that means,
the collegiate population. But we
appeal to you, Mr. Chappel
isn't it naughty for two college
boys to paste a sign, "He W.ho
Gets Slapped," on " the " town'
norse iountamr mat s carry
ing the joke a little too far for
equine comfort. It's bad enough
to make the horses drink the
bitter Iruth from the same foun
tain with the reader, but this is
worthy of an official apology.
More Cruelty
Nature has done us dirt. We
stood by that fountain for sever
al minutes, expecting some jolly
beast to stop his buggy , long
enough to read the sign and give
lis one of those celebrated horse
aughs. . But the Chapel Hill
dobbins had heard about that
wiseacre who laughed last and
hev held out on us Then a girl
who apparently' had been using
this sylph-like soap was wafted
by. She had grown per adver
tisement and was beautiful. .But
she blighted her beauty by look
ing at that ill-fated splutterer of
Truth, for she then emitted a
jruffaw which would have
stretched the profile on any old
gray mare. Oh, Death, where
do you sting? .
The Cheenos
Working under a name
which we do not consider the
best to be found, is an organiza
tion to be commended most high-
The Cheerios, under a dy
namic leader, are worthy of all
the credit which any student,
however averse he may be to
vocal exercise, can give a move
ment for the welfare of the
whole! Even as the new group of
organized cheerers " cannot in
clude this season's athletes, so it
does not expect to number the
aesthetes.' But if the. campus
could only realize that the true
"shines" are the sixty percent
who await the action of false
Headers" and fraternities ' to
decree what is to be sneered at,
the Cheerio band would be much
stronger. In other words,' it is
our belief that the majority of
those who scoff at the new or
ganization are ' the ' spineless,
parasitic; FOLLOWERS of pos
ing fashion-plates. '
It must be understood that the
Cheerios do not need any aid de
rived from complimentary ar
ticles. , They seek no rescue. Of
our own volition we call the at
tention of the campus to certain
students who haven't the will to
refuse to obey the popular de
mand at class smokers to join
new movements, nor the courage
later to carry ouitheir self-im
posed contracts.
Here is a group whose purpose
is to provide a thing declared
both desirable and necessary by
the best authorities on the sub
ject. : Here i3 an organization
which intends, in an unoffensive
manner, to do a thing which can
not injure the most fragile, i

Our Writing Jag
Several people, through cour
tesy or agony, have inquired how
often we resorted to this foul
means of substantiating Dr.
Knight's famous words : "There
ain't enough education in the
State." This is the only reply:
This column is published spas
modically. It has no alcoholic
inspiration, but is published only
when we ail. Furthermore, it
appears when all dastardly ene
mies are in Durham, or torment,
or somewhere like that. Every
time one leaves town long
enough to insure the freedom of
the press, and all that sort of
bunk, we throw another stick on
the fire.
And so, "God bless all of us,"
cried Tiny Tim.
