the Methodist minister . did in making
this structure possible-great would
our debt be to him. Generous lib
eralness has dominated his actions
in the capacity of leader; he has un
derstood and carefully evaluated the
current outbursts of disbelief and
sophomoric expressions. When the
University was assailed for its lib

Patten did his part to allay the feel
ings among his congregation through
out the state, to set them right on
distorted matters and exaggerations.
With keen appreciation of and faith
ful trust in youth, Mr. Patten has
filled his charge well for the six years
that he has been among us. '

And we hear-that Kay Kyser has
a .secretary who tells him when he is
to play and where. At that rate, by
now one would have to see about
thirty secretaries in order to tell .Hal
'Kemp 'good morning.'
After ten years' work as the pastor
of the Chapel Hill Methodist church,
Rev. Walter Patten last week gave
up his work with the loeal church to
accept, the position as "pastor of the
New Bern Methodist church. Rev.
E. C. Rozelle,' formerly pastor of. the
Myers Park Methodist ' church . at
Charlotte, wjll take up"; the work
which Mr. Patten left: . :

PARAGRAPHICS
-So far only one letter has been sent
the Editor concerning the frosh elec
tions. If the writer will come and
sigh the epistle, it will be printed."
Having heard much about a nose
for news, we learn that a member of
the local "police force smelled corn
likker a block away. Seems that the
cop has a nose for boo2e.
One good thing about these cross
country track meets is that the spec
tator doesn't have to follow the team
along the course to enjoy the event.
Well, if anyone is in financial con
dition to be the target of a six mil
lion dollar suit, we guess it is Henry
and Edsel Ford.
We have our own- idea 'bout
weather man who -would bring sum
mer weather " so nigh the Carolina-
Virginia game.
Add to similes of 1927: as unstable
as the job of a North Carolina, college
football coach. ' -
Our idea of extremity goes to the
laborite who charged the Louisiana
State University officials with being
in cohoots with the "barbers , union
when they shipped six men for cut
ting freshmen's hair.
This from the Salemite: "How can
you rate yourself if 'you fail to be
present at the one big game of the
year to see a football game at Chapel
'Hill?" Come, Miss, can't you see that
the e-als will "rate" more here than
. .
they will there? . ,
MR. PATTEN'S TRANSFER MEANS
LOSS OF VALUABLE MAN
. Since several complaints have been
lodged against students for congre
gating in congested places along the
main street of the village to solicit
rides out of town, it has been regarded
as inevitable that some action by the
town aldermen would be necessary to
regulate the practice and to protect
the students and traffic as well. '
Elsewhere in these columns a news
story appears treating the action ..of
the town's governing body in session
the first part of this week. . The crux
of the action is that one is forbidden
to stand in the street, or streets, to
"bum" . rides. Ride-bummers must;
stand on the curb to dig free passage
out of the village.
This action is commendable in con
sideration of the wholesale aouse of
the practice of standing out in the
streets to bum rides. ' Observers have
seen that students daily congregate at
he turn below the post office,, stand
far out in the street, and endanger
their lives and the property of others
by their obvious lack of common cour
tesy to the one who is asked to give
the free ride.1 There was -some hope
that the abuses of the practice would
abate after the amount of publicity
given the situation' recently. How
ever, after waiting a fair time, there
has been no noticeable improvement.
On first glance, it would seem that
the aldermen were drastic ' m their
action and were attempting to "break
up" bumming. More lenient limita
tions in regard to the area and the
streets that students might occupy to
solicit rides were suggested. These
were found to be impractical, how
ever. For instance, if the students
were allowed to stand say one yard
from the curb, the majority of them
would assume that a -yard was from
six to seven feet, not three. Again,
if they were permitted to congregate
in a certain area or at the corner in
front of the President's Mansion, con
fusion a'hd the possibility of wrecks
would greatly increase. -
This action of the aldermen will not
mean the death of bumming rides
With everyone standing on the curb
of the streets, those autoists who are
inclined to give free rides to students
will be just as accommodating now
as they have been in the past. On
the other hand, the risk of personal
injury, damage of property and prob
ably fatal accidents will be eliminated
largely.
In consideration of the circum
stance, the Tar Heel believes that the
town aldermen have handled a seri
ous situation in a satisfactory and
level-headed way. .
POLICE STUPIDITY
Our flavourite try-weakly is all het
up over the idea that Weidemeyer is
to play for the Thanksgiving dances.
If he is no better than he was at Ra
leigh not long ago, somebody had bet
ter get in touch with the three gentle
men of color that played for the
pledges last week.
Since the dance leaders have been
selected, let's hope that the dancers
are better led henceforward. '
To watch some of them dance, one
would think that they were all lead.
And' we are still wondering. if the
dance oyer the week-end was given at
Swain Hall . to facilitate the erasing
of the grease spots from the floor.
What puzzles us is why.Mr. Holder,
in his story the other -day, didn't in
clude the names of a lot of other var
mints that run about over the cam
pus. But perhaps this one interested
him more because he did not know
who his ancestors were.
It is with deep' regret that we learn
of the transference by the North Car
olina" Methodist conference, held in
Raleigh last week, of the Rev Walter
Patten to another charge in the state.
For six years Mr. Patten has served
this community and the student body.
So well has been his service that we
are loath to let him go.
Coming to Chapel Hill a half dozen
years ago-when the "University's big
program of 'expansion was just get
ting underway, Mr. Patten fell in line
with the spirit of the times. He has
done his share in making this one of
the large, universities of the country
and has been active in the moral lead
ership of the student body of the lead
ing .southern university. , As . a tan
gible monument to his labors, devotion
. to' duty ,and , faithful foresight, ; the
handsome structure now stands on
Franklin street. This building, cost
ing between two and three thousand
dollars , is a source of pride to the
University and townspeople as : well
as'members of the church. In addi
tion to its accessability the utility of
the, building is augmented by the
spacious quarters provided for stu
dent activities. ' ;
Yet this church building does not
represent the. greatest work of Mr.
Patten during his six-year stay here.
' (D. D. C.)
' An outrageous demonstration of po
lice stupidity occurred at the State
Duke game in Durham last Friday.
Several students, storming the gates
as pinch-penny collegians are prone
to. do, were succeeding in climbing
over the walls. A plain-clothes po
liceman arrived to champion the
cause of the ticket sellers. In spite
of the fact that the wall-climbers were
doing bodily harm to no one, this
guardian of the peace drew a black
jack and beat several of the young
men over the head. 5 Casualties : sev
eral bruised skulls and One hospita
patient. '
The writer submits that this attack
was utterly unwarranted by the
emergency of the moment. He con
tends that the reasonable amount of
restraint permitted by law to pre
vent trespassing' was grossly exceed
ed. It was to be expected that some
students would evade their debts and
climb' the walls. ' But why- should
blackjack be, used any more readily
than a machine' gun? , One student
already over the wall, was caught by
the plainclothes man, whose name is
unknown, held by his" overcoat," and
beaten until the black jack brqke.i This
was brutality, not defense tactics.
If this exemplifies the policy ;of the
Durham police force, these officers
would best promote the public welfare
by locking themselves in jail.
And from a story last week, the col
umnist has a lite size picture oi a
man standing on a burning, roof
handling "bureaus, trunks, dressers,
and other furniture" as if the articles
were matchboxes. '
"Bjorkman Says Carolina Profs
Are Human." Did he say they acted
or looked like humans?
Since the recent vote in the Di Sen
ate on Al Smith, no one cay say that
that organization is wet.
Why is it peculiar that the stu
dents are so quiet; that they are
drinking "less?" Doesn't every one
know that most of the Chapel Hill
bootleggers have beeh run out of the
business. .
One fellow tried to help clean up
the town of whiskey but he had. to
give it lip. He found that the boot
leggers could make the stuff faster
than he could drink it.
Which reminds us that the guy who
threw a "half -gallon of corn from his
car on Franklin street the other day
might have been a bootlegger advertis
ing his wares.
Or rather from the match test'ap
plied by one of the students, he might
have been a nretextinguisher salesman
traveling incognito.
We see that the cross country meet
is to be hld here this Saturday,
Well, if Carolina doesn't win. there'l
certainly be half a dozen cross coun
trymen after the race is over.
If you want .nice new curtains for
the holidays, "send your full dress
shirt to the laundry this week."
Methodist church was completed at
a cost of approximately $350,000, and
was declared to be one of the finest
structures in this section. Mr. Patten
thus carried out his plan to give the
Methodist students here all the facili
ties for. worship that they couM de
sire.
Mr. . Patten has given a great
amount of time and work toward the
establishing of the School'of Religion
here. Last year classes in religion
were first begun, and the schopl hopes
to have the courses count as Univer
sity as credit toward graduation soon.
