Neal, Jr... Business Mgr. EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT whose right to peace is physiologically and politically justified. Let us observe here that Univer sity students are prone to forget that their participation in self-government begins before they reach the age of twenty-one. Owing to the confidence which state and University . officials have reposed in this student body, its members actually maintain their own community. The policemen of the commonwealth generously leave the . punishment of many minor stu dent offenses to the collegians them selves. Hence we have here a real little state in regard to a few privi leges; we elect our own "state" -officers; we enjoy the privilege of suf frage; in a general sense, we are become of age. And despite the slow ness of University students to con ceive their four years here as an in tegral part of their lives in society rather than ; as a chaperoned vaca- Random Thrusts j By authority and professional demeanor Kews: "Story will arouse sym- Girl was made for part- pathy.

To the present campus officers, head ed by the student president, the Tar Heel extends its commendation for the outlawing, of noise. After all, a student council is not chosen for moralistic legislation; the mainten ance of peace is rightly its only do main. And in the condemnation of untimely annoyances, melodic and otherwise, it will have the support of all' its reasonable constituents.

GROVES SPEAKS TO SOCIOLOGISTS Noted Faculty Member Speaks at Northern Universities This Week. ur'-v-s In 12 Miles," ran a headline in a leading daily. Which made one think that the line between University and Carr boro was being referred to. Professor Ernest R. Groves, recent addition to the Sociology Department of the University, is speaking today at the University of Rochester, Roch ester, New York, on "The Signifi cance of Adolescence." Professor Groves is addressing the 5th Anniver sary of the Organization of Family Social Work of Rochester all this week. From Rochester Professor Groves is scheduled to go to Columbia Uni versity, the Lincoln School, to talk on "The Relationships of Father and Mother as an Influence on the Emo tional Life of the Child." He" is ex pected back in Chapel Hill some time next week. Professor Groves has a national reputation as a sociologist. He is ed itor of the Longmans, Green Social Series, and is the author of several widely-known works on sociology. In addition, he has contributed many art icles to leading periodicals in recent years. Reports have it that Coolidge is grieved because his statement con cerning the 1928 election has been mis understood. Grief galore hath come to others over the same statement. LET US HAVE PEACE D. D. C. The president of the student body, in a speech at the freshman smoker of last week, called attention to a most significant council ruling. . He apprised the first-year men of an important ordinance enacted by the preceding committee on student behavior: No dormitory occupant, whatever his academic status or mus ical capacity, is allowed to play a musical instrument after the evening hour of nine o'clock. Such a limitation on devotees of Apollo is av distinct contribution to the ethics of this student-community. It should be obvious to even the most passionate addict of saxaphones, bangjoes, and other infernal machines that his activity, after nine o'clock, is anti-social in a two-fold manner. On the one hand,, it is unjust to ask the fathers of twenty-five hundred students to pay for the acquisition of educations which are made almost unobtainable by noise. On the other, even if the boy is an ignoramus and an orphan, he still is entitled to that universal student function, sleep. Hence, midnight serenades cheat both the future state and its present weary sons." This institution is supposedly ded icated to learning. Elaborate schemes have been devised for the intellectual cultivation of those here enrolled. Con scientious deans confer and connive. Authorities seem to forget that all the king's horses avail nothing unless tnose wno come to learn are pro tected from obnoxious disturbances That this protection has been woefully lacking is evidenced by the recent self- segregation of graduate students into a building removed from undergrad uate bedlam. We make no plea for the conver sion of dormitories into morgues. However, when psychologists agree that noise, in essence, is more nat urally offensive to mental equilibrium that is the touch of a snake, we must admit that the student who objects to unnecessary racket is no neura Glee Club Prepares For Eastern Tour Many Candidates Report to Director Weaver for Tryouts. Tryouts are being held this week to fill gaps left in the University Glee Club. The organization, back from its recent summer tour in Europe, is selecting new talent to take the place of those men who were graduated last' year. Prof. Paul John Weaver, director of the Club, was greeted by 134 candi dates when ' he announced the trv- outs. Of this group 40 were former members. There is an abundance of ability in the group, Professor Weav er says, and the Club expects , this to be one of its best years. Membership this year will be limit ed to 60, and 30 will be selected from the group for each of the three tours that have been scheduled. The fall tour is to be taken soon and will cover eastern North Carolina and Virginia. Industrial Pictures . To Be Shown Tonight First of Series of Movies to be Shown at Venable Hall. A movie version of the actual opera tion of bituminous and anthracite coal mines will be shown this evening, at 7:30 o'clock, in the main auditorium of V( enable , Hall. Another reel .illus trating the" production and the vari ous uses of steam will be shown also. Each week on Tuesday evening, the chemistry department shows some hase of industrial activity that should interest especially students of chem istry, commerce, and engineering. There is no admission fee, and the department invites all students and townspeople to attend. The pictures are shown through the generosity of the U. S. Bureau of Mines and various industrial corporations. Rain, Rain, Rain Yesterday was the first time this season that old students really felt at home on the campus. Rain, rain, rain slushy, sloppy, drippy rain falling, soaking, drowning rain in short, that genuine old-time Chapel Hill rain of wThich it might be said just as well as of Stetson "D" suits, "Nationally known and justly fam ous." Or perhaps "infamous" would be more apt in reference to our rain! Always! .As someone said yesterday "Rain in Chapel Hill doesn't just fall straight down or from the right or from the left, but all ways." Yes, indeed, "all ways" isright and so is "always." Flowers that Bloom in the Rain If the style surveyor who declared in the New York Daily News Record that Carolina students were" poorly dressed could be here on one of . our typical rainy days, we wonder what he would think and whether the gayly paint ed slickers could offset the old slouch hats, the heavy sweaters, and the high - top boots that blossom out on every rainy day? V Where is My Wandering Shirt? The Laundry "Department sent out notices last ' week telling each student what his registration number was One freshman got a card with the number 1937 on it and asked an up perclassman if that was the date he would get his first week's laundry back! . Quoth the Raven Early the other morning Frazier Glenn and Johnnie Allison were wakened by the sound of "tapping on the keys of the typewriter in their room. To their surprise they dis covered a jet-black raven perched up on their table. Recalling what he had once heard about Poe's talking raven, Johnnie decided to pop some moment ous questions to the visiting bird. "When will the Yackety Yack be out?" demanded the brilliant young editor. "Nevermore," quoth the raven. Again he tried. "When wil the senior class let ME run the an nual ? " And once again quoth the raven "Nevermore!" Open Forums Dave Carroll and Jud Ashby are lamenting the absence of Open Forum letters in the Tar Heel. When Open Forum letters fail to pour into the office of the Tar Heel, it must mean that the good, conscientious souls who ferret out all the evil-doing on the campus are either asleep or else can't find the new location of the Tar Hee office. ' However If there really isn't any mischief underfoot to be revealed or any deep dyed villainy that should be brought to light, that lack should be remedied somehow. By following up the trend of last year's exciting happenings somebody might get an inspiration to start something. Why it's absolutely appalling when one sees how peace fully the campus is resting! No quar rels about the Fleece or Sigma Up, no rivalry between the Di Senate and the Dinamite Senate, no exchange o brickbats between the Tar Heel and the Magazine yet, no heated argu ments over the prerogatives of the Senior Class vs the Editor of the Yackety Yack. Why, there's NO NOTHING! Dame Gossip Tells Us Personally, we've heard lots of things around the campus murmurs of big political frame-ups, insidious rumors of plans to frustrate the. most noble Senior Class, and all kinds of terrible plots that will have to be un earthed some time. But let us' have peace while we may! Philosophically Speaking And our popular Dean of Students, Francis F. Bradshaw, is now teaching a class in philosophy. We wonder if that well-known fad of . his for col lecting statistics will invade the field of ancient philosophy , and result' in statistics on the amount of hemlock necessary to kill out old friend Socra tes ? When Will Durant, lecturer and author of "The Story of Philosophy," reaches the campus can't - you just imagine a philosophical bull session with Francis Bradshaw, Horace Wil liams, and Will Durant?
