In connection with the an nouncement of the pep. meeting on the blackboards was the sen tence, "have you got any spirit?" Later a student came .along and added an "s" to spirit' - -' ' The student body will be put to a test today to prove whether the famous Carolina spirit is dormant or has been revived. Wide-spread criticism has been made of late about the spirit Ql the students toward the football team and in every other way that student spirit should have been manifested. The new "Cheerio" organiza tion was formed to bring about a revival of spirit and to make cheering more effective at the eames. The organization has worked hard and we predict that it will show results today. The state of dormancy in spir it was apparently caused by the pessimistic attitude of the stu dents toward the football team. Coach Bob Fetzer summed up the whole thing at the pep meet ing Wednesday night when be said: ' "While we have made a poor start, the student body should be as lenient and liberal "as possible, and patient, and refrain from too hasty opinion as to the final outcomeof the season. We can't expect to have real success un less we have the cooperation and understanding of the student bodv. Your cooperation , and Psupport and loyalty are more necessary at this time than ever, and the time for the campus to work together to bring about a successful season is when pros pects are poor and things look gloomy.'.' . ' "Coach Bob also said that the team needs expression of con fidence by the student body, and that there ought to be a fight ing spirit arising in the student body which should be contagi ous to the team; The "pep meeting Wednesday night and the "Cheerio-Shdw" last night proved clearly that a fighting spirit has arisen among the stu dents, and it isn't the kind of spirit that dies in a day. Wheth er North Carolina wins the game today or not, we believe ;he student body is going to show an expression of confidence in the team that will last on be yond the memory of the score of the game. . : ' - The assistant Editor handed in his column entitled, "Drift wood Fires," and then Brown Shepherd put another column in the same issue entitled, "Things That Count." Dave Carroll is now wondering if Erown was thinking about the' former column when he wrote the lat sions, the inclination for glory in athletics or happiness in love. , Having these, few require ments, he should be able . to qualify as a fairly competent edi tor, and here is a possibility that he should not be hauled on an of ficial carpet more than once a week or kicked by the student body in general more than twice an issue. ; - f- Open Forum i a Model Editor for College Paper The Technician of State Col lege says "Wake Forest had the college spirit and won from Carolina. The bleachers scored at least one of those touchwodns. How many will the bleachers here score today? The Techni cian is right. But 4f it takes spirit in the bleachers to score touchdowns and it does the Tar Heels won't have to worry about the scoring today. ' ; f ' Ye Paragrapher of the Greensboro Daily News says that North Carolina's football teams will not be among the state's "firsts'Hhis year. Just let him come here today and he will see one of N. C's first in cheer Perhaps you've heard about those girls from the eastern part of the State. In the N. C. C. W. selection for superlative types, the fair damsels from the east won every position except that of charm. They represented beauty, originality, sportsman ship, wisdom, culture, ersatil " v, grace and athletic vigor. While there, is talk going on about changing the Tar Heel from a tri-weekly to a semi weekly, we think it an appropri ate time to reprint an editoral from an issue of last year s Tar Heel . ." With the assistance of past and present college editors, a few' of, the requirements and desirable qualities of the ordi nary rank of file college editor are given below. , A college editor should be a superman endowed witn ine patience of Job, the meekness of Moses, the editoral ability of Horace Greely, the managing abilitv of Charles Schwab, the diplomacy of the late Woodrow Wilson, the. judicial qualities ot former chief justice John Marsh all; he needs the dignity and philosophy of Socrates; he should have the literary ability of Shakespeare and sufficient willpower not to split infinitives. In addition to these few quali fications,, he needs the physique of Jack Dempsy, the nerve of a hold-up man, and Edison's abil itv to do without' sleep. His brain should be so constituted that he could absorb the essen- tials'of three courses by the barest perusal of the subjects contained and to pass the final exams with honors so that the faculty will respect him and'al r i i i i tt Editor of The Tar Heel: Dear Sir: ' Shall The Tar .. Heel be semi-weekly or a tri-weekly pub lication? I believe that is the question you ask in your Thurs day editoral. " " v . ' In this University ' of some twenty-three hundred men I dare say that less than three out of a hundred, if indeed that many, have the very remotest idea of the amount of work re quired to get out a publication of any kind. The more or less universal opinion seems to. be that magazines and newspapers just naturally grow. I he stu dent body takes some things too much for granted. When, how ever, something happens not en tirely to its liking, a few of its members come to life for a while, register disapproval, , and then settle down again for another lone nap. Such, no doubt, would be the case if the Tar Heel wprp nnhlished onlv twice a week. When the job of editing a col lege paper assumes such pro- Dortions brought about largely by the comatose condition of the campus that it becomes neces sarv for the editor and the busi ness manager to devote by far the greater part of their time to the task, it is high time steps be taken to remedy the situation The solution seems to boil it self ddwn to two alternatives either have a full time man, on a salary, to attend to publication details; or make the job over so that it can be handled by a stu dent without the sacrifice it now en-tails. In view of the financia rtiffifiiltifis in the way of the first scheme, as well as the fact that the editorship of the. Tar Heel would pass out of student hands, the second plan seems to be the more logical. The psychological effect of this question arising just at the time when the football team seems fated for an unsuccessful year is, to say the least, rather bad. It serves, however, to point out more forcibly than ever before that it is just about time every Carolina man became alive to the fact that he has a definite place to fill on the campus, other than that of critic, and a definite re sponsibility to assume. Until that condition of affairs is reached the editorial staff of the Tar Heel has every justifi cation in the world for resuming semi-weekly publication. C. T. S. .

SMITH receive what theyhave "bought .and paid for." '. , - ' ' 4.: You say: you have to work continually to get the Tar Heel out ; on time. . . This is indeed a strange state ; of - affairs. You have a larger force than last vear. Why don t you lei yuui editoral force do a little more, of the routine work, and you write better editorals? . . ' 5. If the Tar Heel is allowed to "backslide", one of the manag ing editors will have to be drop ped. And there is a good chance of you dropping the best one. , 6. You say you have to work so assidously. Well, you are paid for what you do ; other cam pus big men are not. .Don't you want to be worth your salary? Sincerely, " v E. V. CORE Saturday, October v 9, .1926' . CALENDAR co-ed has 'em all up in the Editor of TAR HEEL. Dear Editor r Tarn a reader 'of, The Tar Heel, pages one. to four inclus ive, and wish to answer , your Editoral of the seventh inst. concerning, the publication of your paper. , I am not familiar wth your individual organization but I dare say that the brunt of the burden falls upon two or three men. You publish twelve pages or fourteen hundred and forty inches of reading matter per week and I know from experi ence that vour staff has seen some beautiful sunrises in - To the Editor :. r.' You have asked for student opinion on the subject of de creasing the number of TAR Heel issues from three to two a week. I feel that this move is use less and would be a great mis take for the following reasons 1. It is argued that in order to put out three issues a week of the TAR Heel reporters are obliged to work overtime and endanger their scholastic standing. This is an error. Last vear's staff, of which I was a member, was smaller than the one of this year. The men com posing it put out three issues without feeling that they were overworked, and most of them made excellent grades. 9. It is arzued that a tri weekly is too great a burden on the Editor-in-Chief. Last yean Editor Parker put out three issues a week which held to a much higher level than the paper has reached this year. He stood high in his class and never felt that he was imposed upon. He accomplished this by tending to his own work and permitting the Managing Editors to tend to theirs. ; . - . 3. It is argued that the tri weekly system is bound to put the Tar Heel in the hole finan cially. Fred Simon, business manager, has stated that at pres ent the paper is breaking even. Moreover, the" paper came through last year with only one business manager in charge ; this year there is a man in charge of each issue, though they are in dividually responsible to Simon 4. The Tar Heel is included in the publications blanket fee and is supposed to appear three times a week. If it is reduced to twice a week the students Will be cheated out of what they have been led to expect and will re ceive no rebate for the loss of the third issue. 5. It is argued that there is not sufficient news to fill three issues. Last year s start iouna little difficulty in getting news, and frequently news - was held over for the next issue. 6. Even when the Tar Heel is a tri-weekly its news is often a day or so old. This condition would be aggravated if one of its issues were to be cut out. For these reasons I feel that the Tar Heel should retain its present status that of a triweekly. R. K. FOWLER. Charlestoners de luxe ! Cham pion Charlestoners! Charleston- . i -i nr.
