PARAGRAPHICS
On to Greensboro I
With the entire group of glorious
girls, gorgeously, glamorously and
gaily gracing grand stands 1 of the
Memorial Stadium, the annual classic
at Greensboro should be a success.
Spring time; sap's rising; and Un
cle Bim, despite his antiquity, goes
a-chasing after the gay young (?)
Butterfly, Henrietta.
Freddie Frosh, twin brother bf the
Jamented freshman Fritz, on looking
over the print shop, innocently asks
if what the linotype operator is set
ting will ever hatch!
' F. C. suggests that at this time of
the year the hard seats in the class
rooms be replaced by chaises-longue
which are far more comfortable for
sleeping. As a remedy, we suggest
optional class attendance.
Since reading a copy of the Yellow
Journal, the Tar Heel is of the
opinion expressed by Associate Editor
Carroll in the preceding issue of the
Tar Heel in that the publication is
an act-of "useless puerility" and a
pusillanimous way in which to attack
campus characters.
Prince Serge Mdivani, it is announc
ed, will renounce his titles and become
an American after his marriage to
Pola Negri, the movie girl with a
temperature. A matter of trading
titleskis is for breadski, we would say.
If there be anything involved in a
name, N. C. State should mop up in
the grid circles next fall with their
now football coach "Butch" Slaughter
telling 'em how to do ijt. ; -v
"Danger Ahead for Undertakers,
Says National Official," headlines the
Durham Morning Herald. Not so long
as the Eighteenth Amendment holds
afoot and Chicago does ita annual
Continued complaints ' come that
boys of the town are prone to occupy
the choice tennis courts early, late
and between times every afternoon,
It is not the intention of the Tar
Hell to drive the youthful athletes
away from the popular pastime nor
to deny them the use of the University
tennis courts. Chapel Hill boys, and
'gal chiles' for that matter, are wel
come to use the University's athletic
fields as far as the Tar Heel is con
cernedv But with this one reserva
tion: the usage should come when
such fields and equipment is not in
use by students of the University.
The ultimate gain by the institu
tion from permitting the younger ath
letes to learn the art and methods of
playing is obvious. Some of the best
athletes and greatest Carolina stars
have been reared in Chapel Hill. They
had their first and best training on
the University's athletic fields when
playing was at the most instructive
age. If Jack Merritt and Grady Prit
chard had, not spent many of their
youthful hours hooting, passing, and
running with a football and watching
the Carolina grid teams practice, they
probably would not have developed in
to the great stars they were, to touch
on recent history.
Again it is to be observed that since
this is state property, public property,
these young citizens have a right to
use the tennis courts. But these
places were provided for the use of
a particular group of citizens of the
state, the students of the University.
They should get first choice when it
comes to playing on the courts.
It is regrettable that there arent
enough tennis courts to go around for
everyone who chooses to play. How
ever, since tnis is not the case, the
students of the University should get
the first choice when it comes be
tween high school boys and members
of the University student body.

THE SPIRIT, OF THE SIXTIES
In his admirable Memorial day ad
dress here at the annual exercises
held by the' Daughters of the Confed
eracy, Dr. R. D. W. Connor proved
his wisdom and Shis knowledge by
discussing a new and interesting sub
ject, one not usually treated by the
customary Tenth of May orator.
His selection of the spirit of the
state in 1861, as exemplified by the
students at the University was par
ticularly fitting, for "The University
was then, as it still is, a cross section
of North Carolina. In its student
body were reflected the faults and
the virtues, the opinions and senti
ments of the state as & whole, as
well as of each community in the
state. The reaction of the state,
therefore, in any great crisis may
well be studied in the reaction of its
Univensity community." 11
Calling over the names of such
Craven county typical students
Thomas H. Houghton, Kenneth , R.
Jones, Isaac T. Attmore and Collins
Hughes, Dr. Connor stated that they
personified the spirit of Craven coun
ty just as the student body as
whole personified the spirit of North
Carolina. . '
The spirit of 1861 was alive
ivii, tne speaker empnasized, per
haps because of the work and encour
agement of Women's patriotism. This
spirit should at all times be stressed,
as the most important factor in life,
more vital' than success or fame or
fortune. .
Students at all our-colleges should
realize that their spirit is typical of
their state and community. On the
other hand, the state and communi
ties should realize the value of foster
ing the proper kind of spirit that
manifests itself always in service for
God, country and mankind. The

OPEN' FORUM
in
The new road which has recently
been surveyed by the Highway depart
ment to begin at Graham, pass on to
Calvander thru Carrboro, Chapel Hill
and on to Nelson will soon be built.
According to the plans, this will make
the route to Raleigh eight miles near
er than at present.
The road will start at the South
road near the Tin Can where it will be
cut behind the cemetery to the forks
of the road below the Gimehoul
Lodge. From there the road will fol
low the old Raleigh road as much as
possible to Nelson. The state sur
veyors have been laying out the route
for the last few weeks.
For the present time the road will
be sand clay maintained by the high
way department. The road will prob
ably be paved in two or three years
when the volume of traffic justifies
hard surfacing.

Tomorrow Night.
D. Elbert Russell, prominent min
ister, of the Church of friends and
professor of biblical interpretation at
Duke University, will deliver the
third of a series of educational ser
mons being given at the Methodist
church Dr. Russell will speak on
The Spiritual Message of the Bible."
Dr. Russell has traveled extensive
ly and has made investigations in
the viewpoints of different nations as
regards religion, and is interested
more in the viewpoint of the world
on the message of the Bible than the
denominational outlook.
V The Alumni Example
In session at Amherst College the
representatives of 14 college newspa
pers have given up two counts in the
indictment of college youth and scored
heavily in their replies. Do college
men drink ? . Yes, but the main prob
lem about alcoholic beverages con
cerns men older than those in college
said the convention. . .
Do we ' not remember a discussion
like this in North Carolina not so
long ago? At one of our leading in
stitutions of learning it wa3 declared
that the way the alumni swig the bot
tle when they revisit alma mater for
football or commencement is a mat
ter of wonder to all the bibulous a
mong the undergraduates. If the
alumni set the example, what else do
you expect of the boys ?
, Taking up over-emphasis on foot
ball, the college newspaper men, laid
the burden of blame on a falsely edu
cated public and an "over-enthusias
tic" alumni. It was declared that the
undergraduates constitute the sanest
factor in this situation and. these
young men thereupon recommended
that football schedules be cut to six
games between teams of approximate
ly equal standing.
It is too easy to heap criticism up
on youth, m college or elsewhere; too
easy for the truth to carry along with
the criticism. The dolorous lectures
of flaming youth would do well to
practice the art of discrimination.

Discussion Sunday
Jipworth League Will Hear Jewish
Views of Religion. -
Alvin Kartus, prominent Jewish
student at the University, will have
complete charge of the Epworth Lea

will take up the whole hour with a dis
cussion of the subject, "Judaism and
Christianity Some Dogmatic Differ

has been working for two weeks on
his. subject and should be in a posi
tion to give some very important facts
on the situation. "
All adherers to the Jewish religion
and all the campus intelligencia are
extended a cordial welcome to this
discussion, and it has been' rumored
that all who attend will be afforded
ample grounds for broadening their
viewpoints on the religious scope of
life. ..

DINAMITERS LAUDED
Editor of Tar Heel:
The Beachcomber has told us, , we
have seen the delicate shades of pink
and blue. . the Dinamite Senate is
born and promises to le a healthy
child! The four hundred and fifth
campus organization has gotten away
to a whirling start and no one is yet
the wiser!
Honorable Senators, ' if you stand
for freedom are your discussions (at
your explosions) to be free from
pesudo-formality, such as characterize
the half wit "Bills" of the ancient or
ders known in these parts as "Di"
and "Phi" Senates?
With such an intelligent member
ship as yours is do you believe that
your organization can stoop so low
as to debate questions that arc pre
served in alcohol, lest they become of
fensive from age?
' Will your organization attempt to
settle "by resolution' questions un
der discussion, or do the aims of the
Dinamite senate leave the matter to
be decided as per free thought?
Do you take your senate as serious
ly as the Hon. Lee Kennett, or Taylor
Bledsoe? (Who by the way is so full
of himself). v
Long Bhall history record that May
12th dawned fair and beautiful, and
that it was on such a day that the
pastel shades of pink and blue adorn
ed the swelling chests of eighteen of
Carolina's most intelligent. The cam
pus has treated the whole idea and
these eighteen men as a joke. To see
the good natu-.red way in which these
men have taken the "joke" one would
almost believe that they too consider
it as a farce. How very intelligent
they are! I dare say that in their in
ner self they fully believe and know
that the joke is on us!
And it is! Such an organization as
this one promises to be has a place
not only on this campus but also on
every such a one where the aims and
purposes 01 inis -senate" are so
stifled and smothered by the domin
ance of a Student Council that strang
les budding authors, by a publications
union that suppresses "news", and by
the autocracy of two worn out pseudo-
literary societies, and where "Bull
Sessions" degenerate invariably to sex
vulgarities. ' ' - ,
Eighteen men, bound by no fictici
ous precepts or false codes have gath
ered together to have a free and in
telligent discussion of any thing that
happens to be pertinent. What a
treat for those eighteen! What a
really pleasant group : to associate
with .... and their meetings are re
stricted to members.
The Dinamite Senate might be a
iokend a farce but it most surely
has potential possibilities of beintr
the most profitable offspring that this
campus, has. seen born in a student
generation. It' has, I said, possibili
ties, it has likewise, the personnel to
make its possibilities become realities!
(Honest now isn't this a novel wav
to "boot" the Dinamitera TTnndTo1
in themselves" but are useless and a
waste of time and money to some who
are exposed to them. Were the stu
dent allowed to take courses for which
he has a natural inclination he would
derive some real good from them that
would remain with him after college
days.'' V . -
But the dean says "keep butting
the wall until ittopples over." On
some courses the poor student can
butt until his head is no more and the
stone wall will remain unmoved. So
why should he soil the wall with blood?
Some professors urge students to
cram enough to pass the examination
and then they can forget it all. A
lot of good such a course is to the
unfortunate one! That is the old ar
gument of trying to get the baby to
swallow the bitter pill by telling him
that if he vomits it up he will not
have to take another. And often the
pill retraces its path only to be wast
ed. -
How long will it be before schools
will stop wasting pills by forcing stu
dents to take certain courses for which
they have no interest or natural abil
ity? 1

DOWNTRODDEN ONE DECRIES
PILL FEEDING COURSES
Editor of Tar Heel:
President Faunce, of Brown Uni
versity, recently ruminated on a sub
ject that is of particular interest to
college and university students, es
peciauy at this time of the college
year.v President Faunce pointed out
that in a famous old institution only
a per cent of the students enrolled
have been graduated with their -class
es, though eventually 38 per cent were
graduated. He1 said ithese ;norf-grad
uates "have gone from college disap
pointed, disillusioned and some of
them embittered" and havereturned
to "homes- in which there is heart
break, disappointment and broken
hope." '
There are living examples all over
the country today that give proof to
President Faunce's contentions. Of
course many students came to college
ust to be able to say in later life that
they "attended such and such a col
lege" and therefore are a college pro-
auct. lhey generally last about one
year and many of the number spend
the year in trying to "make" a fra
ternity. But what about the serious-
minded student who wants a degree
to show for his time and money spent
during the four years? Generally this
type "of student wants courses that
will be of use to him in later life, and
here is where the rub comes in. ' To
day there are thousands of men and
women wno are non-graduates sim
ply because they would not or could
not pass one or two courses in a cur
riculum that were- required before a
degree could be obtained. Mathemat-1
ics in the Arts College and account
ing in the School-f Commerce have
blighted the hopes of many students
and started them downward to an
inferiority complex." Other schools
have similar courses that ar rood
Carolina's hopes for the S. I. C.
track title sink lower when news is
'obtained that Georgia Tech has enter
ed 28 men, L. S. U. 27, Mississippi A.
and M. 12, Sewanee and University of
Georgia 10 each, Carolina only 8, Van-
derbilt 9, Clemson and Kentucky !
each,' " ' :, . "
Track fans will not lose hope, how
ever, when one considers who Caro
lina has entered at Baton -Rouge for
the meet yesterday and today. El
liott has done the half in 1:58 and also
holds the record for the mile, Hoyt
Pritchett has run the two mile in 9:48,
ten seconds faster Jhan the present
record. Harper has improved re
markably in the discus, holding the
state record for that event. Rhine-
hart was in excellent condition when
he left. Gus McPherson has been
rapidly rounding into shape. Points
can be expected from Pearson in the
hurdles, Giersch in the low hurdles
and broad jump, and Sandlin in the
low hurdles, javelin and broad jump,
Dr. Holmes Speaks
On Medieval Hymns
Dr. Urban T. Holmes, of' the Ro
mance Language department of the
University, will speak at the Presby
terian Church tomorrow night at 7:30
on "The Medieval Hymn". This will

few weeks by prominent University
and Chapel Hill men under the aus
pices of the young men of the church.
Dr. Holmes is widely known as an

erature, and officials of the church

Horney in the quarter, unless the lat

yearlings are lacking in the half and
either Barkley or Horney must run
this. In case Coach Ranson places
Horney in the 880, Nims, a former
miler, will be shifted to the quarter.
The Carolinians are slightly weak in
the field events.
If it doesn't rain and if the wind

don't happen, some state records for
the freshmen should be broken today.
Friday the 13th Brings Campus
Yellow Sheet to Light of Day
(Continued from page one)
were well-known and well-liked pro
fessors. One man made the Fuzz af
ter only one year's sojourn at the
University. This is indeed a great
honor, according to the Gilded Fuzz,
for heretofore it has taken three to
four years to make the organization.
No one has ever before attained this
signal honor. .
We hesitate to say that in some
cases, the men who make the Fuzz
become enraged but we do know that
several people on the campus have
deemed it a mark of distinction to be
chosen by the order' of shining wool.
They thought it a collossal joke and
were proud of the fact that they were
worthy of attention.
Journal Kidded
So it has been with a few who have
had their names barely mentioned in
the columns of the yellow sheet. They
consider the entire matter as ridi
culous and disregard it entirely. But
the Journal this year was not as se
vere as that of last year. Probably
the little trouble that last year's edi
tors tended to curb their caustic type
writers. But at that, a few stories
cropped up that might have been left
out The stories are true but then
that does not quite give permission
to publish certain things. The edi
tors are to be complimented, however,
on leaving out names where names
might have done damage.
In general, we believe that the
Journal has merely kidded this year
more than it has criticised.; The gen
eral tone of the scandal sheet is that
of jocularity and humorous irony and
we can hardly see how the thing in
its entirety can be taken seriously.
