The University of North Carolina has been peculiarly fortunate to have in its faculty men who are known to be authorities in their fields and who are recognized for their abili ties and works. It i3 not an easy matter to secure these men, and it is far more difficult to retain them a- gainst the ravages of those who have more remuneration to offer them. And it may be said here, parenthetically, that it is to be everlastingly hoped that the University will continually find means to keep those who are de manded elsewhere. It is generally known that there are members of the faculty who are making si fine sacrifice, are turning down larger sal aries, to remain here to finish their work. " You will know a university toy the strength of it3 faculty. The strength of the faculty means more in build ing a university than anything else. Ye shall know them by their works.

Tar Babies Leave On Virginia Trip The Carolina Tar Babies hop into Virginia for games with Virginia Frosh and Woodberry Forest SchooL These two games close theJTar Baby schedule. Early in the season the plan of a Virginia trip 'Seemed remote. but at the conclusion of the regular schedule it was decided to take the frosh into Virginia for two days. The team left yesterday morning and played Virginia Frosh last night. This afternoon they. play. Woodberry Forest School and will return to Car olina tonight or tomorrow morning.

' The paragrapher of the G. C. Col- legian says that her "hopes, f or ac quiring a collegiate Ford were blast ed by the recent unfortunate episode across the. village." Yes, and it may be added that some others were blown out. ( " YE SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR WORKS The recent announcement that sev en members of the faculty have re ceived universal recognition by the scientific world for their abilities and achievements serves to remind and emphasize the intrinsic value of these, and other outstanding, membersvof the University faculty. It is easy toT f or get or overlook the greatness of those with whom we come into daily con tact and rub. elbows. . The Tar Heel offers its sincere con gratulations to these men who are so signally honored, and is happy in the thought that Carolina may claim these as members of her faculty. This incident also brings to mind the most important reason for the University's greatness. Traditions mean much, but upon tradition alone can be built only sweet memories and pleasant dreams. With a physical plant that could be swallowed up any day of the seven by the capital of one of the many textile corporations, now flocking south, the University of North Carolina has come to be rec ognized internationally for its leader ship in the educational world. For why and what? Its faculty. Remem ber the story of Johns Hopkins' be ginning? There in an old boarding house a group of the outstanding au thorities of the world gathered. The mere gathering of these great men founded a university of international Students who make a habit of stay ing up till midnight or after have been wondering why the lights on the campus blink every night at exactly 12:00. J. D. McConnell, president of the local chapter of the American In stitute of Electrical Engineers, ex plained recently to a Tar Heel report er the cause- of this, much discussed phenomenon. The University has recently put into operation its own power generating machinery, consisting of an engine directly connected with an alternator, installed with boiler and stoker. When this engine is in operation most of the exhaust steam is used to heat the buildings of the campus and the Uni versity gets the electricity as a by product. The engine is operated from '5:00 a. m. until 12:00 p. m., the time cycle over which heat is needed ,in the buildings of the campus. At midnight the power is shifted from the engine to the Southern Power Company's lines. The Southern Power Company will not allow any privately owned generators to be put in parallel with those owned by it, so the University made power must be cut off absolute ly before the power of the company can 'be put on -the lines. So that's why the lights blink every night at exactly 12:00. ' New Dorms Hold Top Position In Basketball League With New Dorms holding undisput ed possession of the ton rung in the dormitory basketball league and three teams bunched in the fraternity cir cuit at the top, the intramural bas ketball schedule is nearing completion. The New Dorms team seized the lead early inthe season and maintained it throughout, while four fraternities had an unblemished record until Tues day afternoon when the Dekes met and conquered the -Pi Kappa Phi's 32-20. , The other teams sharing top hon ors with the Dekes are the Betas, win ners of last year's fraternity cham pionship, and the Kappa Sigmas. Both these teams have swept all opposition aside by one-sided scores, while the Dekes have a well-rounded group but have been content to win by smaller scores than the other top teams, i The three fraternity teams will play off the tie and the winner of the fra ternity championship will meet New Dorms next week.

Dear Sirs: Just a confession and an appreciation. A number of years ago I was a user of your Edgeworth smoking tobacco. But like some others, perhaps, I was led by alluring advertisements to change. A few days ago I went into a drug store to get some tobacco, and on the case was the familiar can of Fdgeworth. I bought it and since then I have en joyed old-time comfort. So my confession is that I made a mistake in changing to other brands," and my appreciation is such that Edge worth will be my Smoke Pal while life lasts, which may not be long, for ,1 have passed my "three score years and ten." v Very truly yours, (signed) E.
