Being modest, we

Well, Duke shouldn't be so down
hearted after all since bonfire ma

Ex-Kaiser Bill's sister is probably
a firm believer in the .philosophy that
it is, never-too late.
Despite the debate tonight, there
will be no 'uncompromising pacifism'
used agin the Cavaliers Thursday.
Among other things, it is well lo

The Durham Morning Herald col
umns state" that the performance Sat

neighboring daily want to come over
to the Turkey Day affair more than
ever. We extend a cordial invitation.
Several campus organizations have
just experienced a reversion to bar
That ' intelligent college students
view paddling as an essential, bene
ficial part of initiations is almost in--
conceivable. On what do they base
this :fond delusion?
Some declare that such horse-play
gives neophytes a sense of reverence
for the ritual which is obtainable only
by intimidation. Absurd. A two
hundred and ten po"&nd athlete was to
be paddled by members of one society
last week; do you think that he was
over-awed by the striplings who of
ficiously pounded his flesh?
Mere pain is going to inspire rev
erence in no spirited man. Instead,
it will make him , feel imposed upon,
and resentful of the humiliation,. wot
the discomfort itself.
Yet, if an initiate refuses to sub
mit to disgusting barbarism, he is
told that he is "yellow." This is a
contemptible falsehood; the men who
uter it are aware that it does not fit
the situation. For the votary who
B. B. Kendrick l stoutly refuses to be a party to jungle
F. G. McPherson customs is far from "yellow;" in this
?S -"Tf li i community his defiance would mark
mm as courageous.
But, unfortunately, the campus has
been bull-dozed into fear of these in
genious logicians who dub common
sense "yellowness." And the timidity
with which initiates in these orders
accept definitions of cowardice by
their "brothers" would almost indicate
that they really are lacking in some
thing. It is time that the true cow
ard be branded.
- Still, society members should be ex-
rpected to "'fraid cat" a man who re
fuses to take a drubbing. For the
truth of the matter is that these pad
dlers can command respect only with
the use of force. Some men find i
necessary to Deilow m a aeoate. so
colorless are their arguments. Sim
ilarly, these lodge men attempt to re
inforce their flat, meaningless rituals
and personalities with physical vio
lence.
They explain to the most gullible o:
their neophytes that paddling "tests
them for courage, moral stamina, etc
Fiddlesticks. Since when has the
toughness of a man's posterior become
an index to his character? Consider
the rest of the animals. We find that
those of highest mettle submit to no
man's whip. Men are led to ask who
enunciated this fool's doctrine of no
bility in sheer toughness.
The writer believes in Trojan for
titude in emergencies. . And he hearti
ly approves of roughness in knee
breeches boys. But everyone knows
that this roughness, unless caused by
competitive sports or wholesome
fights, is simple bullying.
It so happens that the Minotaurs
Sheiks, "13" Club, fraternities, "lit
erary" societies, Fleece all are no
so vicious as they are laughable.

CAROLINA DISPLAYS
RESTRAINT
Despite the fact that the Carolina
football team upset the dope, upset
the equanimity of the student body
and alumni of Duke university and
scored a smashing victory over the
Blue Devils, the student body of Caro
lina displayed a restraint in celebrat
ing the victory that is both commen
dable and typical of the Carolina
spirit.
N The Durham chief of police reports
that the student body of the Univer
sity conducted itself in the most gen-
tlemanly manner that x a victorious
student body had ever done in the
Bull City.- Chief Doby reports that
not a single arrest, not a traffic con
gestion, nor any kind of confusion was
brought about by the hilarity and re
joicing of the Carolina students,
Never, the chief declared, has he ob
served a more orderly and restrained
group of students under like condi
tions. , .
Charlie Jonas, President " of the
student body, stated that he was con
vinced that the students had conduct
ed themselves as gentlemen, both here
and in Durham, and that no distur
bances, cases of conduct unbecoming
a Carolina man or drinking have been
reported. President Jonas stated that
the students demeaned themselves in a
manner that is worthy of high commendation,-and
praise. -
The orderly celebration of the vic
tory and the strict adherence to the
common rules observed by gentlemen
marks the third victory of the day
(Saturday). for Carolina: cross coun
try championship, Duke and the con
duct of the students following the vic
tory.. .

What Price Experience?
The great debate takes place tonight.
Three Carolina undergraduates, a
freshman, a sophomore, and a junior,
will meet in Memorial Hall a crack
British debating team composed of
experienced debaters, men who are
university graduates and who have
taken an active part in the political
life of their country. If one is to
judge by last year's performance, he
will expect to witness another exhi
bition of oratorical manslaughter to
night. However, it may prove to be
a bit of excellent experience for our
debaters.

quiz, uespite their eitorts and pres
sure by prominent men the rule of the
law school was carried out. The men
arrived at Duke in time to get the
signal" drill before going into the
game; the Prussian-like rigidity in
following the rules was held intact,
unsullied.
Sees Tyrannical Administration
With a display of the austere, dom
ineering rigorousness common to a
martinet, which roils and inflames,
the regulations, petty and large
of ten trivial have been administered
until discontent is rampant among the
law students, the student declared.
When a man enters a professional
school, the speaker pointed out, he
feels that the matterv of disciplinary
regulations ' should have been left to
preparatory schools ' and undergrad
uate officials. Petty regulations,
often arbitrary, are enforced with a
degree of severity that bespeaks of the
cool, unswerving tyranny of the head
of the school, he stated.
The Petition
The petition to reinstate Dodderer
reads as follows: '
"Whereas, Mr. W. A. Dodderer has
long been a student of the University
of North Carolina Law School, with
a creditable record, and is a member
of the North Carolina bar, and has
recently been quarantined with scar
let fever for a period of time exceed
ing 15 per cent of the total number
of his classs, resulting in his suspen
sion from the Law school, we the un
dersigned students of the Law school
do earnestly petition the Dean of the
Law School to make an exception in
Mr. Dodderer's favor, reinstate him
the Law School, ana change the
m
nature of the rule.
A Difference In Attitude
Some time ago we read of an in
tercollegiate debate held at some
Northern university Harvard per
haps. General admission for this
debate was one dollar, while reserved
seats sold for one-fifty and two dol
lars. 'And at the University of North
Carolina Gerrard Hall is never filled
with an audience for a debate and
no admission charge whatsoever!
We Must Be Amused
Every football game brings its own
particular amusements along to en
tertain the crowds in the grandstands
The Davidson game had the antics of
the Sheiks, the Bulls, and the 13 Club,
We understand, however, that the
Carolina-Duke game . Saturday
brought forth something slightly dif
ferent. The attention and the
mirth of the football fans" was
caught and held by the appearance
of two very nonchalent Carolina men
in handsome-fur coats.

The international Conference of Y,
M. C. A. which meets only once in a
student generation will be held on the
last of December and the first of Jan
uary in Detroit, Michigan. Chapel
Hill will, be represented at the assem
blage of students from the United
States and foreign countries;''
Mr. H. F. Comer, student secretary
of the local "Y," stated that approx
imately 6,000 students are expected
at this convention which "will probab
ly be the largest of its kindjever held.
Each school is allowed to send fifteen
delegates from the student enrollment
and eight teachers. The total cost of
the conference will aggregate $94.31.
This, amount includes traveling ex
penses, registration fee, and lodging
costs.-' All students who. are inter
ested in attending this meet are re
quested to talk the' situation over
with Mr. Comer as soon as possible,
as only a limited number from the
University 'will be allowed to attend.
v Curb Service
The Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen
have adopted a wise policy in trying
to prevent accidents and inconveni
ences by not allowing students to
stand out in the streets when bum
ming. - They probably thought that
if they couldn't put a curb on the
students' recklessness, they could at
least put the reckless students on the
curb! And now when auto drivers
stop to pick up any bummers, they
will have to pull over out of the reg
ular, line of traffic. Then traffic will
not be blocked and students will be
given curb service! And that ought
to please everybody.
STUDENTS SELLING
DANCE TICKETS
The chief Thanksgiving dances of
this sectionwill be held in the Wash
ington Duke hotel on the nights of
November- 23-24.
Two ball .rooms will be in use; and
Kay Kyser's and Weidemeyer's Or
chestras will furnish the music. From
ten tili two are the hours.
Student tickets, if bought here, are
six dollars for the two dances, and
if purchased there, will cost eight for
the two. With each ticket, i a num
ber is given, and at the Smoke Shop
a drawing will take place tomorrow
at one o'oclock. The first number
drawn will bring a prize of ten dol
lars, and the second will make its
owner five dollars richer.
Tickets may' be bought 'here until
tomorrow morning from Rufus Hack
ney, Piggy Jarrell, and Bill Horney.
Sweet Music!
The Thanksgiving dances are to be
held in Swain Hall, we understand.
So for two days the noise of rattling
dishes and breaking china will give
way to the notes of an orchestra.
But after all, there may not ; be so
much difference in the sound! "Any
how every time we dance in Swain
Hall Dining Room we call to mind
Shakespeare's little ditty which says:
"If music be the food of love, play
on."
Upon the Election
- If puns were allowed a poor col
umnist, it would be fun to give one
more paragraph to the freshman
election. We might say: "Nash to be
at Helm of freshman class; Election
Shows his Worth". Then there's the
vice-presidency: "Ned Lipscomb
Wins, Leaving Henry to Hold the
Baggs." A for the secretary: "Car
bine's Vote Shows Albright Not the
Main Candidate." Treasurer: "As
for Clyde, He Done Lost." However,
since it is generally conceded that
puns are poor taste this , season, the
above paragraph is to be considered
as omitted.
In Review- and on Reviews -The
Carolina Magazine came out
last week. We. read it and enjoyed
it. Then along came the official re
viewer and made us realize what a
terrible sin we had committed in ac
tually enjoying such a literary atro
city. -Hereafter we plan to read only
the Magazine and not the review of
it, so we can enjoy it as much" as
we please without suffering the pangs
of a guilty conscience for enjoying
what the literary, arbiter of the cam
pus decla.w, :uuct net .be enjoyed!
