ing some worthy, class spirit.
But we do not believe the paper
is a credit to the class, as it car
ried only two stories which
contained news, they being the
write-ups on the varsity and
freshman games. The rest of
the front page was purloined or
rehashed copy and the three oth
er pages were made up chiefly
of material which was lifted ver
batim from the Tar Heel and
the Chapel Hill Weekly. How
ever, we understand this was not
the original plan as victories
were anticipated in both the
varsity and freshman games' and
streamers had . already been
written for them. Also, the pa
per was to he only two pages.
But ah ! the Tar Babies did not
give their class the expected sup

GIFTS TO THE UNIVERSITY
As it happened, we were, out
on the rifje range Saturday af
ternoon and therefore did not
see the freshman game. How
ever, we have heard many com
plaints of the conduct of coaches,
players, and officials which were
anything but conducive to
sportsmanlike spirit.' The
frosh game was the first chance
the class has had to show its
"makings," and what an impres
sion was made ! ' Then the newly-created
freshman class paper
came out after the game and
said "the present Freshman
class is the best seen in years."
The class officers and scribes
who got out the new freshman
newspaper, On The Frosh Green,
are to be commended for show-
Announcement of the gift of
$275,000 for a stadium to ; seat
24,000 persons is one of the best
news stories, from the point of
view of the , University's well
being, that has gone out from
Chapel Hill in .a long time.
There will be some, of course,
who will say that .Mr. Kenan
might have given his money for
this and that, but no one will ar
gue that, among the things that
cannot be obtained through the
use of funds appropriated by the
Legislature, anything is more
badly needed than a stadium
that will seat comfortably the
large crowds that come to Chap
el Hill for the big games. ,
We feel quite certain that we
are voicing the sentiment of the
student body when we say that
Mr. Kenan could not have given
more wisely, meaning by that,
where it was more needed. An
alumni committee had already
begun that task of raising funds
among the University's former
students for the construction of
a stadium; they had made con
siderable headway, and undoubt
edly they would have succeeded
But it has long been an open se
cret that raising money among
the. alumni by" the 1 "pay-what-you-can"
method is a painstak
ing process that requires months
and not infrequently years. No
University president was ever
more beloved by Carolina alum
ni and students than the late
Edward Kidder Graham, and yet
we have to bear witness to the
fact that yonder on the site of
the old University Inn is a half
completed building that should
have been put to use several
years ago, and would have been
if the alumni had dug down in
their pockets and done their duty
in full measure of their devotion
to Ed Graham. ..
It is a fortunate thing, indeed,
that the alumni campaign is no
longer necessary. It means that
we will get a stadium . in ... ten
months instead of perhaps two
or three years.
Mr. Kenan's gift opens up a
new era in University athletics.
It means,' for one thing, that
Carolina will be able to take on
the best football teams in the
country, for we will be able to
seat the crowds that should at
tend such games. We have been
refused games by the big Con
ference teams time after time
because we had no place to ac
commodate the crowds that a
game in Chapel Hill would justi
fy. The last Virginia game here
a year ago was a hopeless spec
tacle insofar as seating accom
modations were concerned. ". A
great many, of the alumni so it
s reported went back home and
told the family they would never
attend another game in Chapel
Hill until they could be assured
of better seating arrangements
, The Kenan Memorial Stadium
removes all the obstacles1 cited
above. Twenty-four thousand
seats may sound big now, but
we venture to say that in five
years' time, or less, every one
of these seats will be taken at
the big games. And when that
time comes, the solution of the
problem of more seats will .be
comparatively easy, for, as we
understand it, this new stadium
is going to be constructed so as
to permit additions whenever
needed. And by that time the
Athletic Association should be
in condition to finance them, if
nobody else cares to take care of
the situation.
In making this gift William
Rand Kenan has fittingly main
tained the tradition of his fam
ily which has heretofore given
generously to the 'University. A
few years ago Mrs- Mary Lily
Kenan Flaker gave a large, sum
which provides an annuity of
$75,000 and led to , the
establishment of the Kenan
professorships. That -gift was
in memory, of her father,, Cap
tain William Rand Kenan, an
alumnus and trustee of the Uni
versity, and her uncle, Col.
Thomas S. Kenan, who was a
trustee. The Graham Kenan
fellowship in philiosophy is an
other gift by the wife of a mem
ber of the family who always
manifested a great devotion for
the University. The present
gift is in memory of the mother
and. father of the donor, Mary
Hargrave, who was a Chapel Hill
girl, and Captain William Rand
Kenan. . . ... v
While we are talking of gifts,
there is another that should not
be overlooked. Reference is to
the home that Mr. and Mrs. Pat
rick Thomas Farns worth, of
Highlands, N. C, have willed to
the University, to be used as
faculty retreat during vacation
time and years of leave. Folk
of culture and literary attain
ment themselves, Mr. and Mrs.
Farnsworth have caught the full
vision of the revival in letters
that has recently taken hold of
the South.
We believe these gifts have an
even deeper significance to the
University than the fact that
they represent devotion to a
worthy cause, and we will grant
that that alone is reason enough
for any gift." But there is an
other side that may be consider
ed. Out in California and in
some sections of the north, an
alumnus of means who dies
without leaving his Alma Mater
a fair share of his wealth is re
garded as a man of extremely
poor taste. To date this has not
been a custom in the South. But
maybe a new day 'is dawning.

Open Forum
Editor of the Tar Heel:
I wish to congratulate the of
ficers of the class of thirty upon
their issue of the class paper,
"On the Frosh Green" ; and, for
my part, assure them that it was
a very pleasant surprise to those
who welcome the coming into
prominence of the new class.
It being very necessary that
the Freshman class , introduce
itself to the University at large,
I think this a very appropriate
contribution toward the stand
ards of importance of the class
of '30. .
. The frosh is a" class that the
University may be proud of, and
one which deems itself worthy of
great expectations in the future.
D. L. MCBRYDE, Jr.
Editor of the Tar Heel:
A most convincing argument
against inter-collegiate football
was offered Saturday afternoon
by the Carolina and Maryland
freshmen, aided by others acting
in a more or less official capa
city. It has been the privilege
of the writer to witness some
few battles on the gridiorn but
none so realistic as this. The re
currentjusage of feet and fists,
the constant parade of uninvited
coaches on the field, the timidity
and uncertainty of the officials
all combined to make a snarl
ing, wrangling, disgusting spec
tacle. ' The climax came in the
final quarter when the majesty
of the law thought it wise to
make his presence known to the
warriors. ' -.. ;
It may be that the whole thing
was a psychological accident; it
may be that the Carolina Fresh
men as a team can play football
of a cleaner variety ; it may be
that Maryland Freshmen can do
likewise, and that their quar
terbacks normally manipulate
backfields by means of less po
tent language ; it may be that
Carolina audiences usually do
not cry for the refree's scalp
in spite of his efficiency or lack
of it: however, all these super
stitutions fail to remove the fact
that "South's greatest Univer
sity" was host to such an exhi
bition '-..If this is to be football
of the future, it would be well
to abandon ideas, of stadia ; ' if
such is embroyonic "Carolina
spirit", it merits an early de
struction. '

Unheralded With Reports
Of Games-
FUTURE PLANS IN LIMBO
The budding product of the
University campus bloomed to a
flower of brilliance Saturday
night with the appearance of an
unheralded publication' by the
Freshman class. According to
the .idea of the publishers a
suitable title was selected, "On
the Frosh Green," for; their in
tention is to unify the interests
of Carolina freshmen' and a
waken each one to his position,
as an active part of the institu
tion. The publication was authoriz
ed by the executive committee of
the class and supported by the
rest of the freshmen officers.
The writers were G. P. Holder,
F. L. Carr, J. J. Parker, Nelson
Callahan, and Robert Graham.
The financing was attained
chiefly through advertising, and
partly with the class dues.
In getting up the paper on, the
order of a news sheet they had
to draw a large part of the mat
erial from the last issue of the
Tar Heel to fill the pages. But
in spite of this they got two
"scoops" on. the Tar Heel, and
the first impression on many
was that an extra edition of the
Tar Heel had been gotten out.
In case the publication meets
the approval of the Freshmen
class as a whole, an organization
with the editor, staff and man
agement will be formed to pub
lish it once a month.
