THE TAR HEEL
Page Three
Open Forum
To the Editor:
In view of the Open Forum letters
which have been published in the Tar
Heel during the past few days, and
because of the numerous and irref
utable reasons enumerated by Mr. R.
K. Fowler, and Mr. E. V. Core, and
because of the knowledge of the pres
ent status of the Tar Heel which it
is our fortune to possess, the under
signd students . most rigidly- oppose
both personally and collectively any
effort on "the part of the Editor or
the staff to alter the present tri-weekly
publication of our campus organ.
Through the medium of the Open
Forum we urge our friends and ac
quaintances to lend their support in
favor of a tri-weekly Tar Heel, and
it is our intention to exert every in
fluence possible in an effort to make
our attitude the consensus of campus
opinion.

To the Editor:
Recently there appeared in the
Carolina Magazine a so-called short
story entitled "Slaves".
I can very easily picture the author
of the story, burning the midnight oil
writing his filthy tales. Before him,
on his desk, is his inspiration, a bun
dle of rags, possibly a broken bottle
and the offal of a couple of dead hogs.
,By' his side ; lies a corpse of a cat,
smelling as nothing else can smell.
(Awful, offal, Mr. Ed.) '
Any such story is regrading to the
morals of Carolina.
Of ten students whom I heard dis
cuss the sory, seven of them said:
"Boy, ain't that hot? I wish there
were more printed."
The other three said such a story
shouldn't be printed.
Next Sunday the preachers over
the , State will use this story as a
topic of their sermons. They'll tell
about what an ungodly place the Uni
versity si, how tainted the minds of
the students are.
Now, Mr.. Editor, do you think such
a story does good to the University?
I'm sure the Student Body, as a whole,
will share : my views and denounce
such filthy trash.

To the Editor:
Of all dastardly, detestable, obnox
ious stories, the one in the October
issue of the Carolina Magazine is
the most damnably indecent. It is
a disgrace to the University and to
the student body to have such printed
in the college magazine. .
Anyone who thinks no more of him
self, or his race than to picture aris
tocratic blood, contaminated, as was
done jn thisarticle; without reason
or necessity, "surely would make us a
noble editor for next year, should his
aspirations be realized. If such writ
ings be the height of. .his ambitions
or of his capability, let him black his
face and go to the Orange County
Training School where his writings
will be appreciated.
Mr. Fowler seems" to have made
a bold attempt at originality. He was
successful in. his conclusion only. The
body of his literary effervescence is
the same as that of many other dime
stories picked up in cheap magazines.
If . others have had such ideas they
have kept them to themselves. At
any rate if this is the best of Mr. Fow-
ler's originality, God help him and
grant him' the privilege to plagarize
in the future, for I am sure plagiar
ism would be more appreciated.

Editor, Tar Heel:
In your Tuesday number, S. G.
Chappell takes issue with the editor
of the Magazine over the article in
that publication which condemned the
suspending of a junior and senior for
hazing. Now, we all realize that it
is not required or even desired that

H
dent body all the particulars of every
case that comes before it. But if Mr,
Chappell, as he says he is, is going to
enter into a controversy of the mat
ter, it seems to me that he should
have, in his article, given more at
tention to the particulars of the case
and less to a general and personal
condemnation of the Magazine and
its editors. When any action of the
Council tends to create an ill feeling
towards the Council, and that action is
entirely commendable, it would prob
ably be best for all concerned if an
explanation of the facts of the case
were given instead of a long deroga
tion of persons who saw fit to ques
tion the action in the first place. Most
of us know that there certainly was.
as usual, quite a good deal of hazing
which was worse than that which the
Tar Heel stated the two offenders were
suspended for. So, if the action of
the Council has been misconstrued,
why should we not have an explana
tion of the matter rather than a dis
cussion of the merits of , a Carolina
Publication? . )
J. W. S.
Editor of the Tar Heel:
After the U. N. C.-U. S. C. game
Saturday I went over to Durham and
ragged some of my Duke friends about
our "42 fighting fools" and what they
will do to Duke Oct. 16. Strange, but
not .one of them agreed with i me.
However, I think that was because
they were not at the N. C.-S. C. game.
But to return to my subject'
caught a rifle back to Chapel Hill
with two South Carolina students, and
we discussed the game of the after
noon. I was rather surprised to find
them such good sports and to hear
them express themselves as they did,
They both agreed that the game was
really won by North Carolina line
men, the ends in particular, and the
student body. They praised the
"Cheerios" highly and said they had
never seen anything" that looked as
good -as the U N C formed by them
in the yell. These fellows were cer
tainly "Gamecocks"? not an excuse
or alibi was offered for their defeat,
although they did believe that if Tom
Young had' not recovered their fum
ble the game would have ended 0-0
They praised the team as a whole but
especially Ferrell, Block, Young, Fur-
ches, Schwartz and the ends.
I asked them what they thought of
our chances against Maryland. ."Ab
solutely nothing," they replied. "Mary-

To the Editor: - -
"Gosh! All Hemlock."
One often hears the term "Misplac
ed Genius," or "Misplaced Geniuses."
One definition of "Misplaced Genius"
is; the work of a genius displayed be
fore a bunch of "Morons" who did
not "get the point" or appreciate the
real significance of the said work ; and
"Misplaced Geniuses" are some (num
ber unknown) geniuses amongst" a
bunch of "Morons" who fail to assimi
late or appreciate same and aforesaid
"Genius"; meaning that the writer of
the article, thing, story, slush, Or
the name of Slaves is the example of
"Misplaced Genius" and "Misplaced
Geniuses," and a few members of the
student body (all readers, of course,
excluded) exemplify the "Moron" or
"Moronistie" element.
Is the Carolina Magazine to be
written by Carolina men and Co-eds
for Carolina men and Co-eds, or is it
to assume the role of a national maga
zine and essay to cempete with the
many and various "Confession" maga
zines, teeming with filth and cheap
sordid stories which have ' as their
whole theme and soul some revolting
aspect of "Sex Life", which the auth
or vainly imagines is the perverted
ictions of someone suffering with some
of the many "Inferiority" or "Sex
Complexes"? Is the magazine to be
:ome one which we would not be caught
read in public but which we would
"slip off behind the barn and read?' Or
it is to be continued to be the medium
hrough which the student may demon
strate their literary ability?
Immortal shades of Shakespeare,
Milton, Byron, Keats, and Brann !
Oh Poetry!, Oh Fiction! What
atrocities are committed in thy name !
One has but to read an article or two
which appeared in the last issue of
the Magazine to see what poetry and
fiction "ain't". To be more specific,
read "Augury" and "Slaves". These
may be "Futuristic Literature" but I
do not think that they are poetry and
fiction as we commonly use the terms.
The world has not yet reached the
stage of evolution or civilization when
they will be classed as such, though
it may do so sometime.though one mus
bear in mind that Socrates, the great
old man, was far ahead of his time
when it came to thinking, though he
did finally have hard luck and have
to drink some Hemlock for doing so.
May his ashes rest in peace.
It would be a great idea to heed
the cry which arose from the co-ed
Dorm. Give unto the co-eds the maga
zine- and let them try their luck at
editing this "Wayward Periodical"
whose editors refuse to be "fettered or
bound" by the opinions of the student
body. If they fail, let us relegate it
to the class of "the non-essentials and
has-beens." Let it be but a memory,
a thing that was but "ain't",
Let those who must say what they
want to say, say it through some other
medium than the columns of the Mag
azine especially the type of literature
such as Slaves. Let them start a
magazine or perodical of their own
and say what they will to their heart's
content.
The Constitution, supposedly, gives
and guarentees freedom of speech and
freedom of the press. It does not

vent to any and every form of utter

It is not so much "whaf' you say as

you say which make a saying "ap
