Saturday, April $, 1927 THE "TAR" HEEL Page Three The Driftwood Fjre i By Dave Carroll .v Mr. Editor: Sir: 'tiy .r-:.t::u-- Some , of these rapscallion newspapermen of . yourn have grossly malined my name and endangered .my whole college career. A certain guy foamed at the mouth the other night and your paper took for granted that it was me. , And I'm gona git the satisfaction of telling you about your ornery los staff like Al Moore done when you pub lished that air picture of him in connection with the Yackety Yack affear. You will recolleck that he raised sand becoz he said that now all the boys on the cam pus would remember that face and know whair to throw their , bricks whereas he had 'lowed that he would hide behind the outskirts of the town untell Pete Woods gang come off their dry drunk. - But thats another anti dote which I will save for the eager consumption of my boy readers.., , . -. . ' , Thursday's Tab Heel done me wrong," It salad forth with a roar of McFadden sensational ism and twixt the collums of scandals I seed whair Dave Car roll, a debater in the Phi, had strained a gut and swore that all these, pop quizzes aint fair to us juniors and seniors who misses our classes regular in ac cordionce with Dean Hibbards last wish. (The poor fellow reely aint" dead and he says he aint thinking of such a deed, but this, new-fangled idea i3 just the last thing he done.) This story which you or your buddies writ stated that I was all agin this here new system and that I said there aint no justice nohow. , Mr. Editor, you're just a pop eyed liar. You and your whole staff of ruffian-necked doodle bugs. You folks think you're a roaring borealis ,of wisdom; but you aint never been afflicted with a single thought. If all the packing in' your cylindrical head was to blow up and bust, it wouldn't sound like a skeeter's squeedunk. If you wasn't so full of yourself, you would git out onct in-a spell and let a speck of gumption secrete itself in your turkey gobbler ways. c You toad frogs said in that air Tar Heel that I was address ing the Phi Dissembly. Y, How somever, that aint so. I never have admitted that I was a be longer of that lodge no how. I'm repusenting my country in the Dialectic Senate; . And I'm tol able shore that this here news is just another effort on them Phi fellows' hands to bring fame to their ole bull pen. I aint nev er spoke to those boys and I aint a-gonna do it so they needn't come a-begging. K And another thing, you dern paper trash. I don't want to hear tell of your trying-to git meJn bad with my teachers bout their pop quizzes. I think pop quizzes is fine things and I have always studied hard and I love all my teachers. (Please put them words in big Italics.) And I'll' put a hoss whip on any fel low what tells lies on me, I don't care who he is. ' (You needn't put them words in Italics.) Why, I mout a-been busted on some of these courses. . r) A As for that spalpeen who ac tually done all that gobbling and complaining, I think I know him. He is a bad boy who aint ever knew what to do with civiliza tion. H ia still at large, but his name eimt Dave. It is Norwood CarxolL iui fceV desperate fel low.

OPEN FORUM Prometheus Discovers Numer t ous Election Thaumaturgists (Continued from page one) Editor of Tar Heel: Thursday's issue of the. Tar Heel handled the story of the student elec tions just i as : might have been ex pected, considering the managing ed itor of that issue. It was certainly in keeping with-his policy all this year of seeing how rabid and red he could make our newspaper look. '- It is not surprising in the' least that the student body repudiated his poli cies at the polls Wednesday. It was no accident that he got only 228 of the 1419 votes cast for the editor-1 ship of the Tar Heel. Had he been elected this campus would have been a seething caldron all next year. But there's little use now pointings out facts that are already pretty well known. Suffice to say that the man aging, editor of the Thursday issue belongs on a yellow paper like the ill-fated Faun, not on a real news paper like the Tar Heel which aims always to be fair. ' ' Wonder what the people out in the state who are not well acquainted with Conditions on this campus thought of that streamer headline: "Frat! Frame-up Candidates to Rule Carolina's Democratic Campus." They would have plenty of reason for think ing that a fierce war is being waged between the fraternitymen and non- fraternitymen' on this campus, and that the fraternities won out in the recent elections. Everybody who knows anything at all about this cam pus knows that antagonism between fraternitymen and non-fraternitymen has long been a thing of the past. They know furthermore that in every political machine in recent years the non-fraternitymen " have had equal representation 1 with the fraternity men. They know also that the non fraternitymen can carry any election the way they want to, so far do they outnumber the fraternitymen.- ' ;? -1 There was absolutely nothing in the story of the elections to justify the headline the managing editor wrote. Seems to me it was a plain case of sour grapes." R. L. B. FROSH TRACKMEN DOWN PUKE HERE Final Score Is 79 to 49; Barkley and Homey Star in Meet. Jumping into the lead by cap turing the majority of , points in the opening events the Caro- lina Tar Babies easily trounced the Duke freshmen in. a track meet held Tuesday afternoon on Emerson field 76 2-3 to 49 1-3. Two new records, were 1 estab lished by the Carolina yearlings. Barkley, Carolina distance man swung thru the mile in 4 minutes 33.4 seconds, lowering the Southern freshman . record by two seconds. Nims, Barkley's teammate trailed him a bare four yards at the finish. Bill Horney, present holder of the State high school record for the half mile, bettered his past feat by winning that event for the Tar Babies in 2 minutes 3.2 seconds. ? Ashworth,Duke dis tance man showed up very well during the meet, taking third in the mile and then later win ning the two mile grind in 10 minutes 9 seconds. . . .. . J. K. Smith and Fort both of Carolina tied for high score with ten points each. . Smith won both dashes while Fort led in the low hurdles and broad jump. Baume led the Duke scoring with . eight points. . Carolina seemed especially strong in the dashes but a little weak in the weights. Dr. Addison G. Brenizer, goi tre and brain specialist of Char lotte, will address the Medical Society in Caldwell Hall at 7:30 o'clock tonight. Society officials unre that all men who are con templating entering into the medical school hear Dr. Brenizer. - The local library recorded the largest circulation in its history during the- month - of March which reached 16,900.

Practical ly every man whose name ap peared on the tickets was accus ed of being "it." Bets were flung about in abandon ; Wm. J. Burns was wired ; and the quest waxed thicker and hotter. ' , Finally someone came through with the explanation that the man was Dave himself, but an other alert brain killed the point on a rebuttal with the informa tion that Carroll was not run ning for office. It was at this time that the news came of a voter who was roaming at will over the campus and the search for .Dave's man ended and the hunt for the voter started. Excellent Material On Campus Never in the history of the University has there been so many men who deserved an of fice. It was planned by. a few to start an agitation for more offices and if necessary, -to split the University into two uni versities in order that all men might hold the office of their choice, but this was stamped un der foot by a few men who did not choose to belong to a univer sity that had a dual personality. : - The men selected by friends for offices (this year have been presidents of everything from "The Sons and Daughters of the I Will Arise'!-; to : the "White FOUND r j . r i, . . .

One man said that his . candi date's grandfather was a stoker on the Mayflower and the voter immediately went into a trance and voted for Odell Sapp. If the men on the campus this year will linger; next year, they stand an excellent chance of be ing elected to an office. There need be no , politicking. Every one on the campus already knows the price each candidate paid for his last suit of B. V. D.'s; how many pure-bred police 'dogs.-, he has had; and what he, expects to do with his next month's allow ance. Elections next year should be a safe and sanitary proposi tion. : . ; -.

These may be in continuous opera tion night and day for periods of from three to seven years, depend ing upon business ana life of furnace lining. Hence the Otis Hoist and Otis . automatic controlling mech anism must be extremely reliable and constructed to withstand the severe strains and wear imposed by years of continuous service. ne of the most important fea tures in connection with furnace hoists is the question of continuous operation. The machines must be entirely dependable, so that there will be no shutting! down for re pairs, as it is a very expensive matter to shut down a complete blast fur nace; which would be necessary if the hoist were out of service, '. The filling of the furnace itself is. done by i one man, all . operations being so interlocked that the opera-, tors cannot deviate from the pre scribed schedule. The furnace , is filled by means of skips operated by Otis automatic . electric hoisting machines. The materials used arc ore, coke and limestone,' each load of a kind being dumped into the skip from a car carrying, material from the. bins. v ! As the skip reaches the top of the-furnace,, it automatically de livers the material onto the upper : BLAST FURNACE WITH HOIST Central Alloy Steel Corporation, Masulloo, Ohio valve or small bell of the furnace. As the skip starts down, an auto matic device starts the small, bell operating mechanism, allowing the small one. to open and deposit the material on the lower valve or large bell. After a number of predeter mined loads of the various mate rials have been deposited on the large bell, the automatic : device starts this into motion, "allowing the full load to slide off the bell into the furnace. , HZV- OTIS E L E V,.
