Thursday. January 20, 1927 THE TAR HEEL Page Three The Driftwood Fire ? -Dave Carroll Here 1 gather up and store : Sticks that drift upon my shore; And you may find what you de- eire " ',''"''. On salty rainbows of my fire. ' Some days ago, we predicted a column on the faculty of the ' University. At that time 'we ex pected to make a thorough in vestigation of the comparative standing of our faculty in speci fic fields, But tempus has fugit and the work remains undone. So today we have decided to give a hurried consideration to cer tain features of our faculty which impress the most casual critics. As the observations of a spectator rather than an in vestigator, they may be more acceptable to the average stu dent. We despair of ever being able to do the subject justice. The Liberality of the Faculty During three- years' enroll ment in the University, we have come in contact with many scholars, a few jesters',! and some non-descripts. But all have, in varying degrees, been men of ffesh and bone. The com bination of intellect with human ity, has been achieved to a, re markable extent for the faculty of a university situated in the stodgy South. Students at this University, collegiately neglect ful of the men whom they came to see, are invited to partake of a spirit of freedom which they immediately mistake for a right. 4We base our statement upon a comparative study of representa tive universities and the thoroughly desirable comment which this faculty has evoked from leading publications, stu dent add otherwise. Tolerance of Conflicting Ideas If there be an elusive quality, that duality is tolerance, a fur ther example of liberality. The faculty of the University of North Carolina is most unpro fessorially indulgent, when com pared with the usual array of academic 'goggles. . Criticism of sadly questionable type has been made ol certain men, motives, and departments ; but no profes sor has so champed the bit that student freedom in publications has been endangered. A signifi cant fact, in the line of publica tions, is that Carolina students, unlike those of practically every other North Carolina school, un dergo no "faculty interference or sisterly advice for the student press. Professors here tolerate criticism from even a tyro ; and few are czars of their classes. Students follow some false lead ers, but this faculty, on the whole, majestically spurns the google-eyed worshipper. We be- llVep fVint Macrnrp( tr facts is sufficiently demanded, but few professors presume to over-emphasize their pet theories. Af ter all, an inspiring spirit of in tellectual independence eman ates from the class halls. In spite of the students, well-chosen masters in different departments set a fast pace for a state uni versity. . ' ,;'- ; Discinline and Student Contact A few words should suffice to remind any reader that the lib erality in such matters as holi days, class attendance, and ex tra curriculum activities at this University is unusual. The machine-like grind of larger univer sities is hardly known at a uni versity situated in a, small town where student and professor 'mingle almost to the extent of throwing peanuts at professors in the Pick.'. The Dean's list is a notable example of the facul ty's willingness to let juniors and senior? wear their .long trous ers. Student government is left entirely to the students, who, it is rumored, have one somewhere. However, we cannot at this time Verify the statement it implies a suspicious amount of student responsibility. The University's holidays are a source of wonder ment at some penal institutions nearby. The ability of Carolina men to miss classes without causing faculty chatter is also appreciated gushingly at some girls' colleges. And the profes sors here who ruled on the re cent Magazine dispute acted as a judiciary only at the request of both parties to the issue. The emphasis laid, by their final de cision upon the University stu dents' sense . of responsibility rather, than their subjugation to faculty bonds "was remarked upon, we know,' by at least three different national publications. Indifference? Some might think that this unwillingness of professors to interfere in student affairs is prompted by indifference rather than benign regard for the un dergraduate. ' This contention might be considered if one were to disregard the strides which several deans, of example, have made in instituting better sys tems of discipline for the ma- turer students. We know some professors whose interest in stu dent affairs has done much to keep a turbulent year from dis graceful rows. , Hindrances to Education There are two distinct dangers to student-professor relations which the blind can see. One is the deluded " instructor who thinks that all students have to "boot" and do it; the other is the despicable "booter" himself, for such there be, gentle reader. These are, equally valuable to the University. But perhaps the more repulsive is the professor, for his maturity should lend some depth to his thought. On the Outside Looking In Most intelligent outsiders see this University as a center of in tellectual freedom. Next they are impressed by a wealth sel dom contemplated by the heirs to the fortune. The actual abil ity of most of the professors here is a source of constant com ment by critics. Among these critics is numbered old man Mencken himself. t. The work of the following authors, all of whom have classes in the Uni versity, has been outstanding. These names we have chosen rapidly and with no view to in cluding all or the most important of faculty writers : Professors: Henderson, Cobb, W. C. Coker, Hamilton, L. R. Wilson, Knight, Jones, Foerster, Paine, MacNider, H., V. P. Wil son, Beard, Bernard, Harrer, Connor, Branson, W. C. George, Caldwell, Green, Howe, Koch, Saville, G. C. Taylor, ' Venable, Odum, Weaver, Trabue, Royster, Leavitt, Learned, Hobbs. There are perhaps many more. The of ficial who conducts no classes has not been included in the list. We offer this lot as a test of the reader's knowledge Df the men who constitute a great part of the University's best advertise ment. , Everybody V knows the different basketball, V football, baseball players, but these men are also here. Others are writ ing now. And many wield their influence from platforms . m North Carolina cities and else where. ' ' .. ' '. .. , ' "So even the faculty is a part Of the South's greatest Univer sity.

The Carolina boxers opened the season by defeating the Uni versity of Florida pugilists 5 to 2 Monday night. The Gators won decisions in the feather weight and lightweight ctasses hut were completely outclassed in the other bouts. Carpenter and Warren furnished the bright spots of the evening in the ban tamweight and light heavy weight scraps. The Tar Heels drew first blood in the first bout when Car penter outpointed Miller, of Flor ida, in the bantamweight scrap. Th'is crafty little fighter put up a remarkable fast and skillful scrap and forced his opponent to put up some good defensive work to keep from going down for the count. ' The man from Florida was groggy in the last round, but it seemed that Carpenter didn't have quite enough punch to put him out. The Gators gathered in the next two bouts, which accounted for their part of the score. Shaw just didn't seem to get going right and lost the decision to Gardner, of Florida. Nash John son put up a fine scrap, . but didn't, have, quite enough wind to hold up his end of the bargain in the last round, and lost to Ef win of Florida. , It goes with out saying that these boys put up good scraps and went down fighting. Ed Butler opened up his guns on Perry, of Florida,, .and soon had everything going hisrway in the welterweight class. Ed had no trouble in finding holes through which to penetrate his opponent's defense and was par ticularly good at infighting. Charlie Brown had for his op ponent the captain of the Flor ida team, Tucker, a tall rangy chap who fights in the middle weight division. Charlie tried to open things up in the first round, but Tucker thought a good deal of. his manly countenance , and kept well covered. He opened up a little in the second and third round, but that was too late for a comeback and Charlie easily won the decision over him on ag gressiveness and good general ship. , ...','' . K. 0. Warren closed up the evening's program by outpoint ing Miller, of Florida, in the light heavyweight division. For a time it looked as if Warren would "K.O." him, but, although Miller was groggy he covered up and K. O, was unable to put him away. He was completely out classed by Warren throughout the bout. , Florida did not have a man in the heavyweight division and forfeited the bout to Captain Ox Shuford. The meet was not only a suc cess from 'an attendance stand point, but indicates that Caro lina may have a championship boxing team this year. It is a significant fact that Saturday's meet was the first intercollegiate boxing meet ever held in the Tin Can.' . :' '-y . Summary by matches: ; . .

A bunch of boys run out on a floor with a lot of heavy clothes on and wearing, tennis shoes and everybody thinks there is going to be a tennis match, but there ain't. Then a man blows a whistle and all the boys start throwing - off their heavy clothes and the ladies cov er up their faces or else peek through their fingers but the excitement ceases when it is seen that the boys ain't naked. No, they are just half naked. Col lege boys must be mighty stuck up to show off their physiques cloaks the beard softer WHEN you shave with Williams Shav ing Cream notice how much sharper , your razor seems. Williams remarkable beard softening qualities are responsible for this. For Williams lather is saturated with moisture that soaks the beard soft for easy shaving.

Then the man with the whis tle throws the ball up in the air and two skinny fellows, ' half crazy I reckon, jump up and try to catch hold of it. The skinny boys are mighty . selfish too, 'cause just to keep the other from catching the ball, one of 'em will slap it away, put on the floor. The nian who throws up the ball must be mighty dumb. If he would make up his mind which 6ne to give it to, instead of throwing it up in the air and letting 'em fight over, it, there wouldn't be half so much argu ment and everybody would be happy. , ' ' Raise Hell And the boys with the bath ing suits on act like people de mented. They run and fight like hell to get hold of the ball, and after they get it they change their minds and decide they don't want it and throw it away, or bounce it like hell around on the floor. Then, they act like babies, and run like hell and hol ler like hell to some of the others to throw the ball back to them, and just as soon as they get it, they get rid of At as if it was boiling hot or something. I can't see the sense in hollering, and running like hell for something you don't want after you get it. Some of the players, instead of throwing the ball at some of the bathing beauties, throw it up against a board with a barrel Continued on page four) . , , es IMOOWOKATID MO.Ut.FAaC.
