The Southern Conference ha
in reality become a tradition to
Carolina students. And with
the passing Qf every tournament,
there appear various and sundry
amusing incidents that befell
the members of the squad and
the students who were ambiti
ous enough to embark for At
lanta. , This column might more
easily be headed " "Tournament
Quips" a3 we have here collected
some of the stories that have
. flooded the campus since the re
turn of the players and specta
tors. For the sake of brevity
and mystery we will refer to
some of the students only by
their hrst name as we do not
wish to make tnis bizarre ex
posure.
All Her Fault
No, the Carolina quint is not
superstitious. They are much
too intelligent to place any stock
in such a foolish practice. All
the same "We would never have
lost that Georgia game if the
manager hadn't insisted on let
ting that good-looking girl sit on
the bench. Yessiree, a woman
certainly was at the bottom of
that catastrophe! No wonder
we had so much bad luck with
that' Georgia Peach sitting on
our bench. f And personally I be
lieve we would have been much
better off if "Jay" Mac hadn't
worn that confound derby!"
. More Supe
Manager.. Hardee wore his
graceful plus eight knickers to
the first game with Tennessee.
That sealed his fate. He was
condemned to wear those same
knickers to every game and to
every function that the squad
attended. And poor Bob went
around bewailing the fact that
the boys wouldn't even let him
have-the things 'pressed. - "They
weren't pressed the night we
beat Tennessee. They weren't
pressed the night we beat Au
burn. Then why press 'em and
jinx us out of the race?"
The team was very emphatic
about maintaining or rather con
tinuing the circumstances that
shrouded theif first clash" of the
tournament. They must needs
ride to the auditorium . in the
selfsame taxi; they must needs
chat With the same girls; they
must needs eat at the same
place ; they must needs sit in the
same seats; if Bob Hardee slept
with the coach the first night,
he could not- get himself a room
me next aay Dut must neeas
sleep with the coach on every
other night! Such is the power
of precedent.
An Heroic Attempt
Three Carolina students, fam
ous athletes Jack, Garrett and
Billy decided to use a bjt of
diplomacy in getting to Atlanta.
It would be very easy indeed for
them to get a ride with the
Carolina squad which had a
whole pullman to itself. So they
caught the train at Greensboro
with well-laid plans of manuever
ing a free trip to the seat of the
tournament.
"Of all places! The women's
washroom! What a splendid
place to ride we mean hide.
The conductor will never look in
there for us." And into the sa
cred precincts of the females, the
three Tar Heels poured. Three
wen in a four foot room. After
a while the closet grew stuffy
and one; of 'em decided to crack
the door and let in a bit of fresh
air. No sooner thought of than
done. Jack stuck his eye to the
crack in ihe door and looked
straight into the face of a grin-

over for you. I want a ticket to
Atlanta."
"I'm going to Atlanta too,", in
terrupted Billy; - "Maybe you'll
sell me a ticket?" '
Hospitality
The ex-Southern champions
were the recipients of several
favors. While at Atlanta one of
their supporters sent them a
huge box of oranges: " Another
took them out to dinner. Eu-
banks Drug Store shipped Billy
Vanstory a five pound box of
candy the prize for the high
scorer and the boys did away
with the candy inside of an hour
after the "Georgia game.
Mr. Higden, the man who has
supplied the big red Buick sedan
that has conveyed Carolina bas
ketball players from the hotel to
the auditorium for the past five
years, was very ill and unable to
lend his conveyance or his pres
enc&fethe Tar Heels. That had
a lot to do with the 23 to 20 lick
ing Georgia gave us in the finals !

the program made possible by
the recent recommendation of
the' Budget Commission to the
legislature, which called for an
appropriation about $600,000
less than the sum asked by the
trustees in their annual report,

play in terms ol "lorte, ior

many gradations of sonority be

an American group. Its num
bers were somewhat lighter, and
the pianist showed a greater
command over the subject mat
ter, playing a bit of realistic
music by Cadman, To a Come

awhole, the group might have

N. C. CLUB HEARS
GREEN SPEAK ON
PUBLIC CREDITS
Says Need of Today Is Better
Fiscal Management in Local
Government.
Myron Green of the Institute
for Research in Social Science,
speaking before the regular
meeting of the North Carolina
Club last evening on the subject,
Safeguarding the Public Credit
in North Carolina, traced the
alarming increase in the use of
credit by, the state and political
subdivisions of the state during
the past few years to the many
improvements ' which the state
has undertaken since .1920, to
the growing complexity of gov
ernment, and to the numerous
demands made upon government
to render service which until a
few years ago were unheard of.
No small part of the increase,
he believes, comes from the mis
management of the business af
fairs of the local government,
resulting in increasing deficits,
accumulating year after year un
til it is necessary to fund them
by bond issues. The fault, how
ever, is not so much with the
men in charge of affairs of gov-
ernment as it is tne fault of the
system which they must operate
under. . .
Need Credit Safeguarded
.; "This same holds true with
all-state, municipal and county
governments and it follows
that one essential, and perhaps
the immediate essential in this
state, toward: properly .safe
guarding public credit is the ap
plication of , sound business
methods and sound fiscal control
to the operation of government.
It may have to come by consti
tutional amendment or through

the enactment of new statutes,
but is must come as a result of
decreasing apathy on the part of
the people of the state and an
increasing interest in govern
mental affairs."
The state government has
been placed on a sound business
basis but nothing has been done
regarding local governments.
"Affairs in the county and muni
cipal governments of the state
are yet to be put on the sort of
basis that will enable these units
to sell their credit at best ad
vantage. The unsoundness of
local government affects the
credit of the state government
and it is not until local govern
ments, county and municipal,
adopt the same , principles ., as
adopted in the executive budget
act and now employed by the
state that the state will be able
to sell its bonds at best advan
tages. The General Assembly
now in session has adopted meas
ures which, if put into effect,
will place local government upon
a sound basis and largely re-.
move this hindrance to the pub
lic credit of the state.
1 Legislative Relief
"After observing first hand
some of the conditions which
have existed in our state, my
conclusions is that the one imme
diate hope' we have of getting
relief from the ever increasing
tax burden and of keeping intact
the credit of our state and its
political subdivisions i the re
lief that will come through ap
plication of proper management
to the fiscal affairs of govern
ment. Taxes have reached a
limit, every source of taxation,
except possibly, the sales tax, has
been exhausted '
" Each session of the General
Assembly brings its hunt for
more revenue, and ,the solution
of the tax problem does not ap
pear anywhere in the near, future.-
The great burden of tax
es go to the support of local gov
ernments and relief can come
but one way : by making these
local governments more effective,
by application of sound business
principles in ;the conduct of their
fiscal affairs. It is the only way
to get immediate relief, and pub
lic credit will.be rendered safer
thereby.- North Carolina is
headed in the right direction and
the next two years under the
new county government laws
may find some relief." ' '

require so much gold filling.
