Now that the rushing season is over the football team should score more points to the game, the Tar Heel will carry more open forum let ters, and the Magazine should come out. Chicago university president pre dicts a college ' where examinations, reviews, credits, routine and other irritating practices of the present system will be unknown in the future college. Carolina should display its pioneering spirit and step out. "Killed His Father to Bring Peace to His Mother," headlined a daily over a story telling of a patricide. Which leads us to. conclude that the young man was going to have peace in the family at any cost. Andy Gump, your old friend Andy, is now heading a billion dollar charity organization made possible by dear old Uncle Bim. Indigent Carolina men should get in touch with Andy at once. , Lindbergh ends his .bus riding around the country to. visit chambers of commerce yesterday after doing 22,350 ..miles. No mention was made about the number . of steaks, ' green peas and mashed potatoes Lindy mull ed over during that time. The Dawn, the plane that Mrs. Grayson plans to make her "safe and sane" flight across the ocean in, took off again yesterday and returned after 10 hours out and dumped its gas oline - in the Atlantic again. Looks like she might be in cohoots with Mr. Rockefeller. SCHOOL OF RELIGION DESERVES RECOGNITION Elsewhere in these columns appears a newsstory treating the school of religion. This extra-legal (if it may be called that) branch of the Uni versity has made rapid progress and created a substantial place for itself since it was founded in May, 1926, by the pastors of the various church es and Mr. Comer. Last spring the question of incor porating the school of religion into the University, and hence giving de gree credit for work done in the re ligion school, came up before the fac ulty at a general meeting. After some discussion the decision was postponed and it is generally understood that it will be settled sometime during this quarter. More time to get better in formation on the question and for just consideration has been had by the postponement. The Tar Heel endorses the school of religion in its movement to receive degree credit from the University for work completed by students in the school. In considering the interest of 6the University, there appears to be no way in which giving credit for religion courses would work to' the detriment of the institution. That "all useful learning shall be duly encour aged and promoted" the University of North Carolina was established, That a knowledge of religion, Chris tian and others, is both useful and de sirous cannot he denied.' We would not advocate the establishment of a seminary to train students for the ministry. There is too much ten dency evident already to make the University a vocational institution, and emphasis is now heavy upon the monetary value of an education with a decided lacking of stress on the value of learning to live. The school of religion doubtlessly suffers from being, colloquially speak ing, "out in the cold" in so far. as credit for its work is concerned. Un der the present system of strenuous activities, both currieular and extra curricular, few students evince the genuine interest in things that do not offer tangible returns. Without de gree credit there is little induce ment for a student, seeking a degree, to register for courses that require the same, or near to it, amount of time as those do that are means to re ceiving a diploma. Academic recog nition would, no doubt, place the school of religion in a better position to serve the students of the Uni versity, for the school then could of fer more courses, get larger regis trants for the courses offered, and thus grow accordingly. Greater re spect for the school's courses would result from academic recognition. The school of religion has a right ful place in the University of North Carolina's group of colleges and schools that cannot be denied. "Re ligious education has greater practi cal value than quadratics or trig onometry. It has all the cultural val ue of history, literature and philos ophy. No subject is more fundamen tal as a background of thought," Pro fessor Harry C. Munro points out in an article discussing credit for re ligion courses. The school of religion should receive its due recognition from the University. VOICELESS STUDENT BODIES (D. D. C.) It is with no little concern that we learn from a member of this staff that a policy . of faculty domination re strains editors at a nearby institu tion for young women. Editors at the University have cause to identify their interests with voiceless student bodies. Only last year our student council attempted to discipline two writers, thereby dele gating to itself a dangerous power. Happily, this presumptuous effort fail ed, and editors today enjoy a liberal definition of their liberties. With no intention of appearing med dlesome, and with, genuine respect for the sovereignty of other colleges over their domestic affairs, we take this opportunity to express our sympathy for any student body whose elected officers are under the thumb of any other power, faculty or otherwise. In the case under consideration, it appears that at least two letters to the student forum of a newspaper have been suppressed by the will of a dean. Assurance has been given that neither of these communications contained indelicate expression. To the contrary, the charge brought against these letters is that they are too critical of a certain councillor's policy. Who is this Daniel come to judgment? By what omniscience does a dean bar sincere, . though incisive, criticisms? If the mothers and wives of the future North Carolina are submissive to censorship except when that stric ture is for the protection of more fundamental arid personal rights, they are hitching their carts to a low star indeed. The whole idea of faculty domination begets only weak editors, cankerous resentment, or revolution. Let each campus determine its destiny accordingly. Playmaker Show Making Progress (Continued from page one) Romaine by Sheppard Strudwick, Mehi table Cartwright by Ruth Rogers, Harvey Green by T. P. Har rison, and Little7 Mary Morgan by Tarasa Graham. This play is being directed by Samuel Selden, who was formerly stage manager of the Pjovincetown Playhouse in New York City but now technical director of the Playmakers. Mr. Senden is a graduate of Yale Uni versity and has had fiveVears experi ence in professional theatres. He has the play in fine shape and within a week it should be ready to be staged. - Mr. Jones, who plays the lead, is an actor of outstanding ability and was formerly director of the Curtain Club of the University of .Texas. He has directed a" number of productions, in cluding a production "Fashion" in Chicago. '-''. Several good dancers, lingers, musi cians, and clowns have been secured for the vaudeville skits, according to the promoters. Mrs. Sandy Justice of City Point, Virginia, is visiting friends at the Woman's Building this week. Mrs. J ustice was formerly Miss Polly Mac intosh, a. student here last year. Random Thrust By s i&L The Race Is On We've heard of all kinds of races in our life, including the African race, the human race, and the foot race; but really now we would like for someone to 'inform us just what this "cake race" is to be. We asked a cer tain coed what a cake race was, and she- said it was a race between all the masculine cake eaters "of the campus to see which one could get to the coed building first. The Y Definition Still remembering last year's Hu man Relations Institute at which the subjects "War, Race, and Industry" were studied, Mr. Comer and Bobby Wilkins say that the cake race, "is a War in which Industry' wins the Race." To the Victors The placards announcing the race say: "A delicious cake baked by the ladies of Chapel Hill will be present ed to the, first hundred men finishing the race." What' worries us is how a cake will be presented to one hun dred men! The Modern Mary Mary and her little lamb of nursery book fame have won a place for them selves in literature; but the modern Mary, according to the "Lagrange College, Scroll, has cast aside her lamb fora newer pet. Here s the latest version: Mary had a wad of gum, She chewed it long and slow; And everywhere that Mary went The gum was sure to go. She carried it to school one day, Which was against the rule; The professor took the gum away, And chewed it after school. Officially Adopted Rushing season is over now but be "f ore Pledge Day it was rumored a bout the campus that the Interfrater nity Council had adopted as its official song for the first four weeks of each year "The Russian Lullaby." Specu lation is still rife as to the reason for this selection whether for the sound of the name or because of its particularly soothing qualities. The Truth Will Out X We've always wondered just what the super-intellectual professors really read; but now we know the Tar Heel headlines declare: HOWARD JONES READS ALICE IN WONDERLAND Heads And Heads "Random Thrusts"nay be all right for a. column heading, but sometimes we think we would like a different heading every week. The Mercer Cluster suggests this for an appropri ate head: "SHUCKS" By Cobb But occasionally when we have eaten too heartily of a boarding house din ner and are suffering from the conse quent indigestion and bad temper, we want to use this: "SODA" Bicarb Atmosphere We heard the other day that a cer tain would-be-"literatus" of the cam pus walked four miles out in the country to read Julia Peterkin's "Black "April" in the middle of a cot ton field "so he could absorb the right atmosphere!" Political Sagacity At this time it might be well to suggest that some of the campus poli ticians who are expecting to run in the annual elections next spring get a bift of fall practice by running in the cake' race today. Arid if it hap pens to rain, they might even get a chance to do a little of the well-known "mud-slinging." Physical Exams Ail those who 'run in this cake race has to be examined by Dr. Lawson we suppose to see whether their con stitutions were strong enough to take care of the cakes if won! Such a Friendly Spirit It's really surprising how well the four publications get along here on the campus. Out comes the Buc caneer, and the Tar Heel says of the cover: "It looks like a nightmare." The Magazine appears, and the re viewer declares that it can ; be rec ognized only by the name arid the cov er. We wonder what will happen to the Yackety Yack. - ' Miss Caroline Holmes visited her family in Lexington during .the weekend. I! Ij WHAT'S HAPPENING I - TODAY' - 10:3Q a. m. Carolina Inn.

Tar Heels Lose to Georgia Tech'in Game on Grant Field Saturday (Continued from page one) praise of the great Tar Heel pivot man, and classed him as an "indis putable All-Southern center." He was all over the line at once, tackling viciously and smearing Tech plays consistently. On offense "he was a terror to the Tech hopes. "Another Tar Heel who played an inspired- game was Odell Sapp, big left end. Sapp played football like he had never played before. Snag ging passes, tackling, smearing in terference, he was one of the tower ing figures in North Carolina's play and his game will lives long in the memory of Atlanta football fans. The line-up and summary: R. R. CLARK Dentist Office over Bank of Chapel Hill PHONE 385 j lilllllillllllH EE32Hiia Effective November 1st The Bank of Chapel Hill and its branch, the Bank of Carrboro, will make a service charge of 50c each for every check handled which is drawn on this bank or other banks and is returned be cause of insufficient funds. . Here is exactly, how the service charge will work out. If you keep an account with this bank and draw a check for which you .1 have insufficient funds to cover, your account will be charged 50c. All checks drawn on out-of-town banks will be accepted as heretofore, and if they are returned by the bank be cause of insufficient funds a service and handling charge of 50c will be added to the face of the check. - University officials will co-operate with the bank and business institutions in the enforcement of this service charge. Banks in other" cities over the State and country have had tq put in this 'service charge. The Bank of Chapel Hill has been slow to 'adopt it, but in view of the increasing- number of checks drawn against insufficient funds the expense and danger involvepV and the clerical work required, the bank . officials feel justified in f ollowino: -the lead of other banks over the State. In Durham every bank works under the service charge system and charges 50c for each check returned because of insuf ficient funds. "Oldest and M..C. S.
