PARAGRAPHICS
Add to latest feats of the Lone

Ye Editor would like to descant on
"Four Years Then What?", but we
ain't yet got us a job either.

anxious over the situation--ain't
there going to be any politics this sea

A scurrilous rumor is going the
rounds of the campus to the effect
"that Graham Memorial building will
be completed in 1971.

One thing about these examina
tions, a student learns how much he
can learn in one night's cramming.
P. S. Eight more cramming days un

"Suicide Attempt Finally Success,"
headlines a state daily. Probably the
victim believed in the axiom that
stated if you don't succeed the first
time, try, try again. -
. r This being one of the most liberally
inclined colleges we have ever attend
ed we look forward to the day when
optional attendance during examina
tions will be practised.
The winner of the drawing contest

DESERVES A VACATION
It i3 with genuine gladness and sat
isfaction' that the Tab Heel learns
that Business-Manager Charles T.
Woollen, accompanied by Mrs. Wool
len, is to take a twelve-week vacation
to make a European tour. We say
gladness and satisfaction, because we
are glad and satisfied that Mr. Wool
len, long in need of a rest, is to take
himself away from the grind and
strain of the heavy duties he daily
performs in serving the University.
There are those who perform among
.and around us with such precise ef
ficiency, faithful consistency and un
wavering loyalty, yet with modesty
and reserve, that we are not constant
ly reminded of their importance and
utility. Shorn of 'glamour and glory
the positions of business managership
and graduate managership " of athle
tics, draw out-spoken praise and rec
ognition far and wide between, but
readily attract . vociferous criticism
and truculent attack if the mite of a
slip is made in routine functions.
The service record of Business
Manager Woollen to the University
reads like the war record of the reci
riest of 4 congressional medxL Mean-
ing, of course, that valor and heroism
is symbolized in years of conscien
tious, constructive, result-producing,
and withal harmonious, service. Since
1901, when Mr. Woollen was appoint
ed registrar of the institution, he has
served successively in the capacity of
purchasing agent, proctor, treasurer
of the athletic association. Today his
two important functions are those of
graduate manager of athletics and
business manager of the University.
Always Mr. Woollen has served
with the consideration and willing co
operation that has made him well
nigh indispensable to the University
and has endeared him in the hearts of
the faculty, the students, the alumni
and the trustees. It is so easy for one
who has complete control, who holds
the strings of the purse, to let his
head grow too large for the hat and
imagine their position and importance
so great until it is irritatingly dispro
portionate with reality. Not so with
Business Manager Charlie Woollen.
If he were not such a particular man,
we would hint that he spells his i's
with a small letter.
'The University is fortunate beyond
peradventure in having in its service
a man so equipped, so able and with
the personality of Mr. Woollen. In
the realm of athletics, he has seen
that attractive schedules are arrang
ed, skilled coaches are employed, and
the games are played on first-class
fields. The policy of the association
is to give satisfactory accommoda
tions, and to . please whenever it is
possible. But this is the lesser of the
positions 'held by Mr. Woollen. It is
praise in itself when a business man
ager serves for over a score of years
with such efficiency and in such per
fect harmony with the other members
of the University's administrative of
ficials. It requires a genius of tact
and wisdom to keep cordiality of rela
tions and good fellowship with those
who are ever striving to get more
funds allocated for this department
or that project. One feels that Mr.
Woollen serves the University with
even greater care and energy than he
devotes to his own personal affairs
and interests. He is business manag
er of the University twenty-four hours
of every day. '
The Tar Heel wishes Mr. and Mrs.
Woollen a bon voyage with the feeling
that a much over-worked man is get
ting a long-needed vacation.
CONVENTIONAL MARRIAGE: AN
ABOMINATION
Dav Carol)
Congressman Hammer, another of
North Carolina's duly elected, has de
clared war on companionate mar
riage. And the doughty champion of Pure
Matrimony brandishes an impressive
snicker-snee. He presents a bill . to
outlaw companionate marriage in the
District of Columbia, over which he
is part ruler. He would make unlaw
ful all marital contracts lacking the
specific provision that - the Tmsband
must support the wife.
Shades of Barnum! Memories of
Comstock! Will they never choose to
think?
Behold a Christian soldier march
ing as to war. Evidently it has not
occurred to the sturdy moralist that
even a North Carolina Congressman
is not empowered to define the perso
nal privileges of a young bride. In
his zeal he says : "Thou shalt not an
nounce thy intention to support thy
self." In effect, "thou shalt not be
stir thyself for aught save thy bilious
husband and a host of children."
Why, both husband and wife would
bash in the head of any policeman
who attempted to enforce such a dic
tum. At least, we hope they would.
Unenforceable for its tyranny, the
bill is likewise odious for its aim. De
spite our ideal of equality between the
sexes, this proposal would vest finan
cial power in the male alone. It
would discourage the economic inde
pendence so necessary to self-respecting
marriage. Those women who as
pire beyond, the pale of aprons and
soap-suds would be accounted outlaws.
Now there is no doubt that most
spouses need to become lawless. Their
drab personalities are in sore need of
some sort of spirit, evil or otherwise.
For at present, sluggish housewives
are seldom fit to do more than mete
out croup medicine. However, the law
lessness which would proceed from
violation of Mr. Hammer's proposed
law is hardly spicy enough.
A better way to enliven the old wo
man's character would be to provide
her with profanity, cosmetics, and
sash-weights. That is, provided her
chronic imp otency is not traceable to
ideas culled in some girls' college, an
institution which is truly education's
youthful indiscretion. If she has grad
uated from the average girl's college
of today; there is naught to do save
minister the last sacraments ; she's
hopelessly harness-worn.
Not only would such legislation be
unenforceable and injurious to mari
tal happiness, but it would tend to
nourish a hideous fallacy: masculine
support for women., To the contrary
of this sentimental thesis, no striving
husband should support anybody's
wife until she became involved in ma
ternal cares. Even then, she should
be considered a full-fledged paiiaer
with every right to her own expense
account. Otherwise she i3 a parasitic
mistress. . -
However, all talk of independence in
marriage is bootless as long a3 the
institution remains a one-way ticket
to bondage. The very idea of endless
association with one person bulges
with fallacies; if it is to live, it must
be periodically chloroformed and
treated with the knife of divorce. No
divorce should require 'Immorality'
or desertion, as courts now hold. To
the contrary, dissatisfaction, sustain
ed after a few months' consultation
with physicians and psychiatrists,
should be grounds for any-man's sep
aration. Nor should divorces cost
more than marriage licenses; and they
should not be so difficult to obtain.
But until marriage is divested of
boo-hoo sentiment about its sanctity,
and relegated to its rightful role as
a civil observance of a thing beautiful
and natural, the world will continue
to keep lovers apart with witless con
ventions and, once married, clamp
them together with ruthless laws
We need fewer Comstocks and more
immoral legislators, publicists, and
medical men
OPEN FORUM
A FEW CORRECTIONS
Editor of Tar Heel:
I deem it my duty in the interests
of fair play and reliable information
to point out a few of the many dis
crepancies in the line of argument
that has been advanced in support of
Mr. Hoover by friends on the cam
pus. In the first place Mr. Holmes is
not a member of either the Phi or the
Di, and was therefore not by right en
titled to make his famous speech of
last Thursday night.
Mr. Wilkinson characterized Mr:
Hoover as "an ideal politician," when
it is a well 5 known fact that Mr.
Hoover is not in any sense of the
word a politician.
Mr. Holmes had no argument; but
a mere flow of words. He quoted
newspaper opinions, and Mr. Thos.
A. Edison, who is notoriously misin
formed on most everything aside from
electricity.
Mr. Holmes conveyed one impres
sion that can only be considered as in
tended to deceive and depart from the
truth, when he said that Mr. Hoover
had settled the rubber controversy
with Great Britain. He did not, and
the rubber consumers of the United
States still pay many millions extra
to Great Britain, though Mr. Holmes
stated that Hoover had settled it.
The final application of the gag
rule to the supporters of Smith by a
clever frame-up. on the part of the
Hooverites , was what carried the day
for them. It must be said of Mr.
Holmes that he is a magnificent
speaker, and most convincing in his
manner. After he, spoke the discus
sion was shut off by a motion of a
Hoover man, without giving the oppo
sition a chance to rebut his gross mis
statements of the truth.

AN ADDITION TO ; CAMEL SMOKE-LORE
We submit the sad case qi the freshman in zoology, who, when asked to
describe a camel, said, "A camel is what you wish you were smoking while .
you try to think of the right answers." He flunked zoology but he knew his
cigarettes. For in time of trial or time of joy, there's no friend like Camels.
The subtle influences of choice tobaccos upon the smoke-spots of mankind -have
been carefully studied, identified, and blended smoothly into Camels
-the finest of cigarettes. And we'll bet an alkaflitch on this: Camels have " ' "
