Tuesday, May 10, 1927 PARAGRAPHICS Something always happens to blacken our fair aspect. It has been announced that the Kenan Stadium will not be ready for the Carolina-Virginia football game next Turkey Day. After some six weeks of pip popping, chug-chugging, and hammering around Graham Memorial building, hope springs in our bosom that the county clubs may meet there by 1949 The Duke Chronicle finds that women's activities" on its campus are increasing. Not due to the season of, the year is it? The report comes that Benja min Frankklin was something of an athlete in his day. Now. let anyone arise to say that Ben wouldn t have been a howling : 11 j . t auiesa 111 coiiege loaay 1 The tale goes around to the effect that Dean Paulsen, desir ing a radio magazine to place on his newsstand, ordered six copies of The Dial. Whether Holding's drug store should remain open on Sunday was the issue raised in the Wake Forest municipal election, it is reported. A matter of a Sun day milkshake, we would say. Judd Gray, the corset-salesman assassin, says that it was the woman's "magnetism" that caused him to do the deed. And he did it with a load-stone. Ho, hum! The time was when we drag ged across uameron avenue through mud past ankle-deep. Now it's a matter of getting over on the other side before an auto driven at an excessive speed knocks one out of the way. It is not clear whether the main thoroughfare through the campus is a town street or a highway by speed law classifi- cations. This leaves the legal rate of speed a matter for some one else to decide, wnat ine Tar Heel is interested in is the matter of saving injuries, per haps a fatality, to pedestrians. Thoro is tin nnlnfthlfl reason j 1 w " v x r" - I for a driver to exceed the speed limit; place the lives of many in jeopardy, and render himself liable for the injury of another on this 30-foot street. Some thing like 2,500 students cross and recross Cameron avenue many times daily. With the campus plutocrats, dashing up and down the street at a speed of 20 to 30 miles an hour; it is a matter 01 time until someone will be hurt. Then, the Tar Heel would remind, it will be too late. j THE FOLLY OF PRESS CONVENTIONS 1 i..-.. 1 i,,, Random Tlirnsts OPEN FORUM 1 1 y 1 m 1 m i turn 11 11 11 m 11 n in 1" 4 ' WHAT'S HAPPENING FROSH NEED BETTER UNIFORMS (D. D. C.) Amid the incessant '.. buzz of life, all men crave gypsy music. The crusader wearies ? of the war ; his lance is replaced by the lyre. , And to harrassed college edi tors, a state press convention is an oasis in the desert. Thither each editor journeys with pomp and power, a begoggled "college leader." On the pretense of journalistic duties, a host of college students meet twice each year. They dis guise tneir romantic designs with such shibboleths as "press convention," "business," "state representation for our college," etc. They appear before their professors, gnash their teeth at this "unavoidable business" which calls them away; and, the professorial favor- having been won for their absences, these over-worked , publications cele brities trip gaily off, their ex penses paid by foxy business managers. . The state newspapers accord the circus much publicity. The faces of pretty girls adorn the daily sheets. Doughty males, with owl-like mien, stare at the reader from beneath a giant caption : "SPEAK HERE." Meanwhile, the dignitaries themselves troop like children about some college campus. Let the world slide, let the world go; A fig for care and a fig for woe." Their visit is perfect. They are treated with hospitality non pareil. In turn, the host or hostess is given every opportun ity to swear or weep, or both. We honestly believe that South ern hospitality is snatched from her grave and frantically resus citated for the delight of these precocious little boys and girls. And somebody makes speeches. Politics, publicity, and puns. But everybody laffs and laffs so that he1 joke which he has been sav ing for the whole year will re ceive the same indulgence. As instructive conferences, press conventions are a grand hoax. But they, like Rudolph Valentino, add a splash of color to the transparency of American activity. They contribute a fanciful, irrational flourish to a drab, uninteresting photograph. or three brief days, scowling Menckens become rollicking Ro tarians or worse'h that. Like all alumni mob gather- ngs, lederations of women's clubs, and other word-festivals, college writers have a right to peechif y foolishly, do indiscreet things, and throw false care to the winds. And student press My thanks they go To Golden Fleece; It filled my column Piece by piece! The all-important subject of Golden Fleece brought to the spearman the first student contributions. This intended to be a humorous, column but it won't be very humorous to the columnist if he has to furnish all th wit. So all hail! ye campus funny' men; tickle your funnybone and join in the Random Thrusts. A Freshman Answers :. Last week's Fleece questionnaire brought forth the following answers 1. What organization is supposed by some to be the highest honor Carolina man may win? Answer: D. K. E. (opinion of the D. K. E.'s) 2. Because of what organization was J. Frazier Glenn featured in headlines? Answer: Gilded Fuzz. (See last year's Yellow Journal.) 3. What is Dave Carroll's favorite organization for attack? Answer: Taylor Bledsoe's political machine. 4. What organization is it rum bred that the Athletic Association and Sigma Up are planning to combine with? . Answer: Booloo Club. ; 6. The Honor of what organiza tion did E. O. Warren bo nobly and manfully defend last fall? Answer: The American Association of Inter-collegiate Boxers. . Very truly yours, I. M. Merlin. Saturday's issue of the Tar Heel furnishes material for the following Thrusts: Our Efficient Firemen Extract from the Tar Heel story of the A. T. O. House fire: "The fire made rapid headway after the arri val of the fire company." At least the fire was polite enough to await the arrival of the firemen! We also read: "Employees of the Nello L. Teer company, of Durham who have the contract of excavating, have dubbed the Keenan Stadium the Teer Stadium' since the .Teer com pany is losing heavily on the contract because of the nnforseen blasting.' Well, if we were losing so heavily on the stadium, we would more probably dub it ' the "Tear Stadium" and christen it with plenty of tears, too!" Tar Heel Headline: WELL KNOWN MEN LEAVE FOR EUROPE We really don't understand the ne cessity for such sudden action un less these men happen to have seen an early edition of the Yellow Journal! ANNUAL SPRING DISEASE Oh, spring is called the season vernal When trees do bud and bushes sprout, When all is fair around-about And then there comes the Yellow Journal. ... 1 There politics so long forget And touchy sores and wounds that hurt ; Are opened wide to bits of dirt, And truth is lost in gobs of rot. - But let it be, this sheet infernal, And it will wear its weak self out As sentiment puts it swift to rout The campus needs no Yellow Journal! Daniels Fetes Writer Mr. Claude G. Bowers, noted editorial writer on the New York Evening World, passed through here Friday, and a luncheon was given in his honor at the Caro lina Inn by Josephus Daniels. Mr. Bowers comes from Indiana, and has attracted quite a bit of attention by his writings. Those who participated in the luncheon were mainly from the History Department, although Mr. Win ston, Mr. Coffin, and others were there. conventions, unlike the others, frequently rnarryoff the most worthless boys , and , girls in North Carolina. The world needs a press convention. Editor of Tar Heel: It was a frequent thing for the audience, during the winter quarter, to give expressions of delight when it saw the neat uniforms of the Tar Heels. The same is true when our Varsity baseball team goes upon " the field. But what about the baseball uniforms of the Tar Babies? The general impression that the Freshman team gives this year when it takes the field is that of a crazy quilt. The uniforms that the team has to wear give evidence of . having been sal vaged from the scrap heap. Some of the players have no uni form at all except an improvised one of their own. Very few have suits to correspond to their teammates. Several of the in dividual players have shirts of one kind, trousers of another, and socks of still another. In fact, the whole team seems to be the unfortunate baby of a large family, and, consequently, must wear the clothes which have been passed from generation to generation. Isn't it false economy to force the Freshman baseball team to wear such ridiculous uniforms when, at the same time, our Var sity teams are so , elegantly dressed?- The only hope that a high school athlete has, in the way of athletics, the first year at Carolina is on the Freshman earns: and, wnetner it is rea sonable or not, a decent uniform has its attractions for them. If we desire better Freshman teams it is bad business" to give prospective athletes the idea tha the Tar Babies are indigent or phans. (Signed) R. C.
