"Noted Sculptor Gives Two Heads," headlines a leading daily.' Which causes one to believe he has as many heads as the proverbial cat has lives. Young Reynolds states that he only wanted to go away and be a regular fellow natural like. Probably not a hard job if one has $300,000 to use on the project in six months. Since the Tar Heel office in its present location does not have a tele phone, the favorite dig at the tele phone svstem wilL be omitted for awhile. "Wake Forest and State, we wel come you !" shouts the exuberant writ er in the columns of the Meredith Twig -with nary a word about Caro lina. . And 'whither has fled the visionary gleam, the glory and the freshness of the Open Forum tirades? "Registration Mounts Despite Raise in Tuition," flares the bold streamer across the frontage of an exchange. Meaning, presumably, that money is no object at that institution. After the Senior Senator spoke from New Bern concerning the presidential candidacy of Al Smith, at Jeast Sen ator Overman knows where to say he stands. I "Co-Ed Gams Warped Legs as Studebaker Wins Big Argument," re ports a contemporary. I lmes and styles being what they are, the ga chile should sret about a hundred thousand damages. CONCERNING KEEPING OFF THE GRASS A well-beaten path through the cen ter of the campus from the entrance opposite the post office to the Old Wei has been made, during the past ten days. Students of this quarter, new or old men (it is all the same), have . taken an unusual liking to traversing the campus by following the straight . line. It . hardly seems necessary to re count here that the improvements on the University campus were made to render the appearance of it more ar j tistic, more beautiful and at consid erable cost of money, patience and labor. Walks of serviceable type, lo cated conveniently and running in the shortest possible direction towards the various buildings, and of such size as to provide adequate accommoda tions for all, have been provided for the usage of the students, faculty and those who walk upon the campus. The growth of grass in the various plots encompassed by the walks was established to look at not to walk on. Neither its softness nor its ver dure are to be used for promenading to and from the campus. The' ihortcutters who would save time, those who would trample the grass underfoot to enjoy the keen de lectation of a literal across-the-campus stroll, and the don't-give-a-darn in dividuals these are respectfully in vited to desist..: . , , At the rate of annihilation and abrasion the campus from Franklin CLIPPED "LET FOOTBALL ALONE" (Asheville Citizen) This is the open season against football, the time when the rocking chair reformers, turing their hostile attention from cigarettes, motion pic tures and other popular delights, as sair the leading college sport as dan gerous, brutalizing ad inimical to education and culture. They are well managed by Tad Jones, doing his last season of coaching at Yale, in an ar ticle in The Outlook entitled "Let Football Alone." Jones' argument is that football, in addition to developing the physiques of a multitude of boys, inculcates in the players a fine sense of fair play and determination by which they profit for the rest of their lives. There are rules, he says, which an unprincipled coach can encourage and teach his players to violate often without being discovered in the moil and rush of a game, but he adds: "Any coach who permits violation of the letter or spirit , of the rules , is gambling with the character of his boys. If boys are taught that these easy and almost undiscoverable viola tions are not honest,' if they are taught fair play, if they are taught ordinary decency you can see what they can do in the life of a univer sity." Therefore, there are very few coaches who encourage unfair play, and Jones is "thoroughly sold on the men who are handling football." Then he concludes with this: "Foot ball does not need reforming. It is a tremendously better game than it was when I played it. There is no reason for worrying because a great many more people go to see a football game than would go to see a revival of a Greek play. There may be things in football which are not exactly what they should be, but conditions are im proving every year. The boys play ing the game are fine, clean lads with high ideals and a clear conception of sportsmanship." In brief, football has vindicated it self by improving itself. There can oe noinmg seriously wrong witn a game whose players and teachers labor every year to make it a better game and whose players come out of it with fine ideals of sportsmanship y " ' Improving County Government (High Point Enterprise) The legislation intended to reform county government in North Carolina has attracted wide attention outside as well as among the authorities of the counties of this State. Other states are interested to know whether Torth Carolina reallv has found way to reduce the wastage and to increase the efficiency of county gov ernment. Ours is not the only state in which the people are realizing the need of betterment. The statutes in point are not an end in themselves and the acceptance of every suggestion the legislature made will not give the counties good government unless the counties keep in charge of the admin istration of their aff airs men who are competent and unselfish in their of fices. But they can be made exceed ingly helpful where intelligent con cern exists about county government. Every county in North Carolina is spending more money than at any time in the past and each is determin ed to continue to increase its budget, The schools have improved, for in stance, but they are sub-normal yet in a national comparison. The schools will require more money. The coun ties need to prepare themselves to raise the money as cheaply as possible and to spend it as safely and judi ciously as -they can. The right kind and amount of thought given hence forward steadily to fiscal affairs in the political units of the State can save enough in interest charges alone to make a mighty difference in the aggregate cost of government Week of October S-S TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4 p. m.

Note: Due to inability to arrange fraternity schedule until the make up of the league is secured, the fra ternity season will open next Monday. This causes the dormitory .games this week to be condensed into three days, and makes it necessary for every team to play twice on successive days. Such a jam will not occur during the remaining weeks of the season, for the fraternity games will sandwich in between the dormitory contests to fill up the vacant periods.
