Far be it from the Tar Heel to

submit an apology as the least that
might be done to meet an - occasion

However, the Tar Heel cannot sub

Herald's editorial. When one's - age

performing the duties of the job one
is hired to do, it raises the question
if boldness, and not discourtesy, per

he primary motive behind the desire
to continue to hold office purely and
simply by precedent and overworked
popularity. It is accepted that North
Carolina today is represented in the
national congress by a delegation,
around whom senility "creeps and
clings, and , who haunt the offices of
specialist and physicians with in
creasing persistence. The attitude of
the delegation of North Carolina,
whom braggarts boast of being the
most progressive state in the union,
is known before a question of major
importance reaches a vote.

JUST ANOTHER COMPLIMENT
TO YOU, MR. WEAVER
In the last issue of the Tar Heel
an account of the action taken by
authorities of a woman's college be
fore the Carolina glee club was booked
to sing at that institution serves as
another reminder that Carolina has a
first-class glee club which believes
that singing, and not clowning, is the
true purpose of such an organization.
Those of us who are conversant with
the activities and the program of the
glee" club might be tempted to display
a quizzical grin when the southern
institution's authroities inquired if
there were any objectionable features
on the program of Carolina's chorus
It goes without necessity of' mention
that the authorities in question were
later frankly profuse in their praises
and were amused at their misgivings
of "objectionable features.": But such
objectionable features are sometimes
present in college glee clubs' pro
grams," it was pointed out when the
inquiry was directed to a Chapel Hill

team will make a hard fight to take
this game, and it is very doubtful
that the Heels will have as easy a
time winning from them the second
time in the same season.

WE SUBMIT, DURHAM MORNING
HERALD
It is conventional ,f or , newspapers
to publish rationalizing alibis along
with corrections when mistakes: and
errors are called to their attention.
The Tar Heel, itself, though it aspires
to greater heights, finds- that . from
time to time errors and misstatements
creep in. . Then, again, the worthy
journal may serve to embarrass
sheer misunderstanding.
It is on this account that the Dur
ham Morning Herald, neighboring
city daily, editorializes to correct
what the editor fears may have been
a misunderstanding. Says the Her
ald: -
"Got Us Wrong"
"The Tar Heel, the splendid paper
published. by the students of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, remarks
that it gains the idea from some edi
torial remarks appearing recently in
The Herald that we wish for Major
Stedman, representative in congress,
many .happy returns of his birthday
anniversary and ah early retirement
from Congress. ' '
"We do not wish for his retirement
but would like for the district to get
the most benefit out of his service.
He is more capable of rendering ser
vice by reason of his popularity than
almost any other in the district, but

familiar with the district and its
soloist, perhaps a choir, of banjo-vio
lin-mandolin trio and the acrobats of
the institution were the chief constit
uents of college glee clubs which ren
dered a hybrid program of music and
vaudeville acts.. Glee clubs that still
cling to this type of program find
themselves often slipping towards the
vulgar and objectionable. Hence the
action of President McCain of Agnes
Scott before the Carolina glee club
would be booked. ,
However, since the coming of Paul
John Weaver and under his personal
supervision the University of North
Carolina glee club has put aside the
mandolin, clog-dancers and other semit
clowning acts. Today the Carolina
glee club ranks with the best in the
country as a chorus that sings music
and leaves the vaudeville acts to the
Keith circuits. . The reception of the
club this summer during its Euro
pean tour is indicative of the true
merit of the organization.
The inquiry of President McCain
serves indirectly as another compli
ment to Paul John Weaver and the
University glee club for the success
achieved and recognized.

training for the motion picture indus

talking excitedly as they started tor

reached the door, they paused, each
wishing to give the other precedence.
"But you must go first, my good
friend," one of them was heard to remark.'-
Fm sure the ride will be a nov

East, and I would not think of preced

On the contrary," answered the
other am insisting. that you enter,
