Editor Santford Martin missed fire when he failed to send one of his Smith questionnaires to N. C. C. W. It is reported that a truckdriver was robbed at Troublesome creek, which makes one believe that the "crik" is correctly named. The new library is at last under construction. This, together with the vernal season, makes one hopeful for the! realization of an adequate gym nasium " AH wishes for success go to the German airmen about to attempt to cross the Atlantic, but we rather be lieve that it is best for the bad weath er to detain them considerably longer. We suppose that it is just as well to be thankful td Uncle Sam for, the new walk and paved court being pro-; vided for the post office, notwith standing the fact that - only two out going mails leave Chapel Hill daily. It is said that the "classic shades shudder" as Senator Reed denounced corruption in the present administra tion. Well, other things and ' other people may have shuddered also.' A newspaper reports that a mid western constructor has built 30,000 bridges during his career, laying the blame for this superactivity to the fact that he had asthma; couldn't sleep; hence he built' bridges. Times were when we felt that, some of the University professors had galloping consumption. EFFICIENCY THAT MARKS FORWARD STEP There being great satisfaction in noting the accomplishment of those acts which add efficiency and conven ience, and the Good Book stating that there is a time and place "for all things the Tar Heel wishes to com . mend the efficient manner in which the personnel of the Registrar's office handled the students' grades for the past quarter. It is well known among students who have been at the Uni versity for more than one year that reports for last .quarter were ready considerably earlier this year than those of the past. ' Those vrho lack enlightenment on the inner-workings of an organization such as the Registrar's office are sel dom appreciative of the details to be attended to and prodigious amount of labor necessary to prepare the reports for twenty-eight hundred students. It is, indeed, a tremendous task to secure the grades from the various instruc tors and then to tabulate these, hav ing them conveniently arranged that quick Nreference is easily made. The personnel of the Registrar's of-j f ice has been working with diligence, persistence and patience for a number ! of years to arriveat a method where- by the grades would be ready to sub mit to the students at the earliest pos sible time following examinations. This, it might be observed, 13 of the spirit of progressiveness, efficiency and service (if you will pardon the word, Babbitts) that permeates the University organization, making this institution one of recognized great ness.;; " '"' . ' ' . If you will pardon the Tar Heel from being so personal, may we say that you have accomplished your wish, Miss Josie? HALF-FINISHED PROJECT , REMAINS A BLEMISH For four years now the uncompleted Graham Memorial building has hov ered over and haunted that western portion of the campus which, was set aside and consecrated as a memorial to the spirit, service and memory of a former leader who was one of the most beloved and honored of all Uni versity Presidents. Begun approximately ten years ago, this memorial is still unfinished, still unfitting to serve the purposes for which it was conceived. There have been countless times within the fast four years when those closest to the best interest of the University have been moved in shame and disgust to declare that the uncompleted struc ture is "the worst blot on the Caro lina. campus." Friends who knew Dr. Edward Kidder Graham best are prone to be those who decry the pres ent condition of the memorial most sadly, most feelingly. A man, it is said of him, who strove to complete every task undertaken, he would feel far greater the keenness of disap pointment of a half done job, of a race half run. v j This much for an incomplete mem orial that, does not commemorate be cause of its incompleteness. As for the utility of such a building to for ward student activities, in which Pres ident Graham was so deeply interest ed, it is beyond controversy that such is one of the greatest of the present needs of the campus. As an institu tion expands and the student body in creases it is necessary to make pro visions for maintaining and forwarding- a group spirit and unity among the students. To make such' provi sions the necessary quarters are pri mary in importance. What may be done to hurry the completion of Graham Memorial build ing is not easily stated. The build ing committee of the memorial have literally racked their brains to arrive at some solution of the stubborn prob lem. We may digress here to state that nothing written above is to be construed in a manner to show the Tar Heel as being unappreciative of the labors and accomplishments of the committee's work and endeavors in any manner. The Tar Heel is always intensely interested in anything that forwards the interest of the student body, and it is particularly interested in the com pletion of Graham Memorial building at the earliest possible time. Dave Carroll, Now A Grad, To Locate v At Oak Ridge School Dave Carroll, associate editor of the TAR HEEL, left yesterday for his home in Bennetts ville, S. C, where he will spend a few days with his parents" before going to Oak Ridge Institute. Mr. Carroll completed his college of liberal arts course at; the end of the winter quarter and is leaving the University. He has accepted, a part time instructorship atak Ridge in stitute, and wiir take commercial work in addition. , ' , While here Associate Editor Car roll has been prominent in student activities, and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. . He was a member of the Glee Club, acting as publicity manager in his sophomore year. He served the TAR HEEL "three years successively in the capacities of re porter, assistant editor and associate editor. " Carroll has been actively in strumental in a number of .movements to forward liberalism and to create rnterest.in questions of state and na tional importance, such "as national politics. Self-Help Work for Spring Being Planned Grady Leonard, self-help secretary of the Y. M. C. A., requests that all students who are planning to work this spring and who , desire the aid of the self-help department of tho Y, report to him immediately at his office in the. Y. M. C. A. Florida is rich in golf courses, there being over 50 links stretched along the eastern coast of the state. ; In Holstein, a state in northern Ger many, there is said to be not a bobbed head among the native women. uUjc Calf's catJ By H. J.Galland A Weekly review of news of the BulVs Head, the University book' shop. . Weil, it seems that Spring, as somebody has said, is here. At least we see signs of it in the sprouting bnd3 in Dr. Cbker's Arboretum and our own lassitude, in anybody's classes. But then, again, what with the wind-storm Friday jand this and that, it might be called an early spring, thus giving us a chance to quote Arthur. Guiterman, who writes in the Ufew York World this touching bit entitled Early Spring A crocus T pierced the crust; The blizzard' roared and smoked; And first the Crocus cussed, ' And then the Crocus croaked. The Bull's Head has received a few new books, and well get them off our chest so we can fool around in the rest of the column. " Among the most interesting are" The ' Legion of the Damned, by Bennett J. Doty; My Lif e, by Isadora Duncan, and! Strange Interlude by Eugene O'Neill. "The Legion of the Damned" is for the movie fan who just can't Tceep away from the Pick or the Carolina when one of these Foreign Legion desert pictures is 'being shown. This wasn't made in Hollywood, and neither was the author. It's the goods. The author was a member of the Legion. He found it wasn't exactly an after noon tea party; and attempted deser tion. He was caught, sentenced to death, and was saved only by the in tervention of the United States gov ernment. What he writes of the Le gion is authentic, and needless to say, extremely interesting. My Life is the story of the famous dancer, Isadora Duncan. She just didn't give a damn for anybody or anything throughout her life, and thus lived, an interesting one.' The book was finished just before her tragic death. It is intimate, one of the most intimate books , ever written by: a woman. Her life was crowded with events, and numerous love -affairs were not the least of them. This is a much-discussed book, and you'll find it good. O'Neill's "Strange Interlude" is a play. It is much longer than the average play, and the characters do their thinking out loud, in addition to speaking regular lines. Therein it is a departure from the normal. If you would be well-informed on con temporary drama, don't miss reading this latest by O'Neill. ' Our old friend Dorothy Parker is publishing a new book of poems call ed Songs for the Nearest Harmonica. Instead of giving three preliminary 'rays and a tiger, we quote this one, which was contributed by Mrs. Park er W Mr. F. P. A. of the New York World. CODA There's little in taking or giving, There's little: in water or wine; This living, this living, this living Was never a project of mine. Oh, hard is the struggle, and. sparse is The gain of the one at the top, For art is a form of catharsis, And love is a permanent flop, And work is the province of cattle, And rest's for a clam in a shell, . So I'm thinking of throwing the battle Would you kindly direct me to hell? "The Crock of Gold" by James Stephens, is in the Shop, So is "Porgy," by DuBose Heyward. They are. as different as can be, but both are good, and so we mention them in passing. " ' A Columbia University student, Noel Pierce, wrote the following ob servations: - The Freshmen read Mencken. The Sophomores dote on. him. The Juniors quote him. The Senitfrs note what he says, But they don't quote him. There's something in that. But don't ask us what. ' We note in Boni and Liveright's new Spring Announcement of Books that Anita Loos' sequel to the famous "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'" will be out in April. The new book is called "But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes." Well, well, blondes, now will you be good? . . Nature Club Hike Tomorrow Afternoon t The Carolina Nature club will take a hike and, field trip Sunday after noon, April 1, from 2:00 to 4:30. The -group will assemble at the 'front of Davie Hall. All interested parties are invited to attend. This is the first of a series of hikes to be con ducted by the club during the Spring quarter. Startled Populace j Stares at Village j Traffic Resrulator i No longer will, the terribly wild, heavy, and dangerously unregulated traffic of this metropolis be permit ted to , endanger the lives and prop erty of the citizens of Chapel Hill, for yesterday a traffic regulator was installed at the corner of Columbia and Franklin Streets to control and direct the flow of vehicular move ment on' both the streets of the city. When the bell rings the traffic reg ulator shows a red light, all move ment from the direction facing the red light must immediately cease, otherwise it will face the dire con sequences of the law-and-order au thorities who are responsible for the life, liberty, and pursuit of happi ness of the townspeople. When again the bell rings, and the light changes to that color in particular favor at this season, due to the doings of St. Patrick in years gone by, the halted commerce may once again begin to surge forward as long as the green lasts. This saving step came almost too tardily for the relief of the local arms of the law since all six hands of the excellently organized Hill police force were altogether exhausted in vain strivings to stem and suppress the hitherto irrepressible menace. Great crowds are attracted by the latest evidence of the determination of the city fathers to make theirs a safe place of habitation for all, and When the fire department, driven by the recently imported , full-time fire man, hurried out in response to a call and had the temerity and auda city to go unheedingly ,by the red light, great was , the indignation and wrath of the assembled populace at the mark of scorn thus offered the municipality's latest token of its wish to be up-to-date. Chapel Hill would have it known that it is no "longer a peaceful little village, ;but a very busy city, faced with the same problems as any, and now prepared to meet all ; emergen cies.
