Announcement is , made that the University will conduct a study tour in EuroDe next summer. 'Peers like we should have one here too. The farmer must work out his own problems, the press concludes after recording ream after ream of bun combe for the past 'year. Which, it may be observed, marks progress in farm relief. , Seeing as how about every sports scribe had his own estimate on jus how many attended the Carolina-Vir gima game, we would like to see them decide somewhere within 2,000 of the number here. ."Both Smith and Vare, Senatorial Storm Centers, Are Given Seats Near to Exit," reads a headline. Con venience, we calls it. Forbes tells about a poker game at the White House with . Presiden Harding - among the participants Wasn't it this same Forbes who de clares his mission f roiftx now on to be that of "redeeming", Harding? VERBOSITY, MOSTLY ABOUT ALL-STATE PICKS Failure to rally to the cause kept Jack McDowall, NC. State grid star, rom making the mythical all-south ern team, the sports editor of the Ra- eigh Times believes. The. same may have denied Harry Schwartz, Caro- ina captain-elect, of the select circle. The Raleigh sport scribe reasons it thusly: the sports editors of North Carolina dailies were sent ballots Ty the Associated Press. The question is raised whether some of the writ ers did not neglect to fill out the bal- ot and return it. If all had done so. the Raleigh writer avers that Mc Dowall 'and perhaps, Schwartz would have" been placed on the all-southern. As to whether the two North Carolina ootball - stars (McDowall and Schwartz) deserve the select group, we are not prepared to say since our imited football information does not carry us that far, . However, the po sition taken by the Times' s sports editor makes one wonder' if he isn't hinting' that the home boys would have been honored through the par tiality shown by the North Carolina sports editors for the home product. Which, it would seem, at its best would have been little glory, per se, for them. With all respect to the prowess of McDowall and Schwartz, the TAR HEEL is glad that they didn't make the all-southern team if it had to be done by the biased voting of North Carolina sports editors. But , what of All-State, All-South ern ; and All-American teams? Do they really mean very much under the present method of selection? Certainly . all-state selections are so numerous and show so much preju dice in choices that they are no long er as great an honor as formerly. Every, coach, trainer, former coach and player in the state can now make a bona fide all-tate selection and the sports pages of the state dailies will play it up big. The result? ' All state teams are about as mixed in choices as was the pedigree" of Hec tor's mongreL Anyway, have you made your all- state selection yet? Random Thrusts By : - : . Vital Issues Tonight the venerable Di and Phi meet together in order to discuss two momentous questions of the day: a constitutional convention for the cam pus and companionate marriages for the world! The campus and we suppose, the world awaits with bat ed breath the all-important decisions of the societies. So much depends upon them, doesn't it?!? A Time for All Things 'Boots"r are rather . convenient things to have around the mid-term and final examination time, we are old. But experience and observation forces us to, the conclusion that boots are absolutely essential for -slushy weather like Sunday's and Monday's his week! OPEN FORUM ABERNETHY GOT EXPLANATION Even if Greensboro and .Wilming ton didn't get a man on the all-state high school team, they may be con soled by the fact that they played to decide the state championship argument. The. Carolina quint starts the season off in the right direction by burying 'Carmichael's all-stars under an ava lanche, of scores. Looks like rcham pionship form from the stands. Will Rogers avers that -since the football season is over college, students will get about the process of securing an education. Hearty disagreement examinations will begin next week. "Something New under .the Moon," headlines contemporary. , But nary a word is said concerning just what was done under the new moon. ; Editor of Tar Heel By direction of the Administrative Group of the University in its regu lar meeting, December 3, I send you for publication the following letter which is self-explanatory: Honorable Charles Laban Abernethy, New Bern, North Carolina. My Dear Mr. Abernethy: In the Tar Heel of November 12 appears an editorial on your, Armis tice Day address at the University This editorial, as you perhaps have noticed, is a signed one. It was writ ten by D. D. Carroll, who is Associ ate Editor of the Tar Heel. " I am sure that this statement rep resenting as it does so clearly no more than the, personal, opinions of one man can not efface your memory of the courtesy and ' - interest with which large numbers of both faculty and students at the University heard you or destroy your impression of our sincere appreciation of your courtesy m coming. However, since there are in the editorial such grave lapses of courtesy and taste, both in opinions and in the manner in which they are expressed, the University naturally regrets that one of its students should have been guilty of such things. Therefore, I should like to express to you sincerely our regret for the appearance of -the editorial.' - Cordially and sincerely yours, (Signed) R. B. House, Executive Secretary R. B. HOUSE. What Manner of Thing Is This Various college newspapers declare that International Relations clubs throughout the American colleges and universities are making an extensive study of the "Youth Movement In oreign Countries." If any exhaus tive study should be made of the youth move in the United States 'for the ast few years, it would have to deal mostly with the Charleston and the LBlack Bottom. We Only Aim to Pleasef Occasionally we like . to mention certain of our campus acquaintances in . this column ; but every time we generously offer someone a bit of free publicity by columnizing them, they immediately draw back in fear and seem to think that we intend to cal umnize them instead ! Columnists are almost as badly "misunderstood" as the conventional husbands and wives ! Borrowed Light The town of Chapel Hill, desiring to illuminate its main street better, bor rowed lights from the University. Is that just one more example, like others given out by the Extension Di vision, of how the University carries enlightenment to the furthest and darkest corners of the state? One miserable thing about the Sat urday game here was the rain. The scribes had done themselves handsome telling us how many fair dames would invade Chapel Hill from the Gate City and Wilmington. Alas, the inexorable Jupe Pluvius had his say and the gal chiles didn't show up. Since Al : Smith has stated that he is still opposed to the XVIII; amend ment, it is now time for The Senator to announce again that the New York governor is "unavailable." Mr. Johnson, formerly head of the school of journalism here, writes an article asking if our colleges should educate. Well, not exactly, Mr. John son, but we should have a better. foot ball team next year. Author's Reading of v Plays, is Postponed The authors' reading of new plays which was to have been held in the Playmaker Theatre tonight has -been postponed .to the first week in January ,soon after the Christmas holidays. The exact : date will be announced later. This extension of time is given so that students may work over f their plays during the Christmas holidays. All persons outside of " the - playwriting : class who have plays that they wish to be consid ered for the, reading are asked to hand them to Professor Koch. Alex Wainer, of Carthage, N. C. is pledged to Tau Epsilon Phi fra ternity. ' . " . The Davidson county club will mee tonight at the Y. M. C.

A Student Bank Emory University has established a student's bank, to be operated entire ly by students under the general su pervision of the treasurer's office Students may deposit their funds here, can always get a check cashed as long as their, deposit has not been drawn out, and run no risk of giving bad checks. It seems an excellent form of service to the students and should also do away with the prob lem of bad checks , to a large extent, 'Tis Ever Thus And once again football has given way to basketball as the year ad vances. Now the new Kenan Sta dium, so lately the center, of attrac tion, must give up its place of honor and resign in favor of the Tin Can where the basketball quint will reign during the winter. Another "Glorious Adventure" Richard Halliburton, brilliant young traveller and lecturer, is sche duled to speak at N. C. C. W. on "The Glorious Adventure." If he is as at tractive and as handsome as - is re ported, the enthusisastic " reception given him by our North Carolina girls will probably be one more "glorious adventure" to add to the list! TKe Public Taste ' At present one" of the best . sellers in the Bull's Head Bookshop is "My Pious Friends and , Drunken Compan ions," a collection of prerVolsteadian Barroom; Ballads. Just; an added proof of the intellectual supremacy of this campus that we hear so much about! , We Know What We Want, i The new telephone system for Chapel , Hill is again delayed this time while data is being collected about the kind of service the people want. If they would only go ahead and install the .system, we would gladly undertake to get the data on the kind of service wanted ; and we believe one word would suffice to de scribe it PROMPT 1 ' Ask the Man, Who Knows! Every time we even mention "Ten Nights in A Barroom" to a certain friend of ours, he always wants to know how many , of those ten nights were spent under the table or on the floor. If he bothers us again we are going to refer him to H. M. Jones, who plays the part of the drunkard. Today's Question Since the Athletic Council is to de cide today about next year's coaches, one question uppermost in student minds is: Will they chuck Collins? Two prominent members of last year's graduating class succumbed to wedding bells and orange blossoms last week when Henry VanNess, manager of the football team last year and Phi Beta Kappa man, mar ried Miss- Grace Montgomery in Charr lotte Saturday evening and J. J. Mc Murray, outstanding end on the foot ball team for two years, exchanged vows with Miss May Washburn at Shelby Wednesday afternoon. Henry VanNess is in business with his father (I. W. VanNess and Co.) in Charlotte. After the 1 wedding, which was held at the Montgomery home on Hermitage Court in Myers Park, Charlotte, he left with his bride for New York. They will be at home to their friends at 409 Provi dence Road, Myers Park after De cember 7. " V Chapel Hill residents at the cere mony included John Myers and Coach "Chuck" Collins. J. J. McMurray and Miss Wash burn were married . at : the bride's home on - Sumter street, in Shelby. They left after the ceremony, for a short wedding trip, after which they will be at home in Dunn. Several students and alumni of the Univer sity attended the wedding. If the person who took a blue over coat from Methodist church last Sun day night -by mistake, will please re turn it to 113 Old West, he will re ceive . reward for , same. Geo. D.
