That's us and the Tar Heel. r One of our distinguished Tar Heel predecessors, "Bumps" Madry, said that there were six types of college newspapers: the College Billboard, University Mouthpiece, Village Gossip, Journal of Education, Local Gadfly, and Zealous Crusader. Readers, you are the judges. Which category in cludes the Tar Heel? Or is it the happy blending of the six? This week sees the inauguration of a regular sports page in the Tar Heel. Now those many students who find athletics of primary interest may very conveniently turn to page 3 for all the latest dope and those very few who do not care for sports may very conveniently omit that page from their list of required reading! The Biblican Tower of Babel, where iri all the workers ' spoke different tongues, has nothing on us. This week-end Gerrard Hall witnpssod flip Davidson-Carolina deSate in Spanish, the Carolina Inn was the scene of two Greek dances, the German Club held its elections, and .the High School debaters manfully (or womanfully, as the case may be) wielded the good old hnglxsh language. ' The presence of the youthful High Schoolers on the campus this week eyjen caused our freshmen to feel their approaching old age. WE SALUTE YOU Annually for many years has come the turning over of the Tar Heel, "lock, stock, and barrel," to a new set of incoming editors and reporters. Always the old editor sums up his year's work and the new editor apologizes for the inexperience of his staff and outlines his policy. But today does' not witness that familiar scene of "the old order pass eth and the new cometh on." True, one Tar Heel regime has delegated authority to another but compara tively few changes have been made. Editor Jud Ashby has consented to stand by with help and advice; man aging editor Joe Bobbitt, generally conceded to be one of the ablest journ alists on the campus, will now serve as Associate Editor; managing edi tor George Ehrhart retains his for mer position; managing editor Tom Johnson has promised to help break in the new reporters. The two new managing editors, Glenn Holder and John Mebane, come, up .from the re portorial staff with excellent news paper reputations. Harry Galland, the new assistant editor, will continue the production of columns so ably begun m , "The Calf's Head." Will Yarborough, one of the star freshman reporters, will have charge of the athletic section. Some, new men are to be added to the list; of reporters, but twelve of the old faithfuls have stuck to their posts and will see the Tab Heel through this time of change and stress. As the old saying so aptly states: "Men may come and cCZ) men may go, but the Tar Heel goes of forever." Selah! and so may it be! " . ' And now as to policy. We have just made the profound discovery that for the last half dozen years the in coming Tar Heel editors have begun with an oiilright declaration that no matter how many -other editors start ed out with a statement of policy they would declare no policy and then in the next few lines set forth a full and rash set of promises con cerning policy! " Far be it from us to start out the year's work handicapped by any long series of ready-made policies or prom ises. Rather let them shape them selves as the year pr6gresses,vfor poli cies and attitudes may be more safe ly evolved as the occasion calls for them than manufactured beforehand. Let this board of editors start out with a clean sheet before them; then as issues arise from time to time on the campus that sheet will be writ ten upon. r EVER-WELCOME GUESTS i Once again the High School repre sentatives are with us for their an nual competitions in debating, track, and tennis. Once again we open wide the figurative gates "of the campus and give a hearty welcome to our visitors. Only a few years ago and we were an i integral part of that high school group; just a few years in the future and they will be a part of some university life. We are glad of the present opportunity for their becoming acquainted with this cam pus; and we trust that the acquaintance-will lead to interest, the interest to understanding and the understand ing at length to attendance and ac companying loyalty. At the present time we offer them -interest and en couragement in their activities, a sin cere college-high-school friendship, and an invitation to revisit this com- pus whenever the opportunity pres ents itself. LOAN FUNDS NEEDED Funds for student loans have been depleted for the present quarter and will stay low for the next two years, it was brought out in a recent issue of the Tar Heel. Miss Mabel Mel lett, who looks after loans over in Dean Bradshaw's office, says that she is swamped with applications for money, most of them needy cases, which she must turn down because the coffers are empty. Nor is the situation expected to improve within the next two years unless something is done. ' The" matter was taken up at the meeting of the University Trustees in Raleigh Tuesday, but was left in thejiands of a committee for further investigation. Nothing will be done at least until June 12 when the Trus tees meet again. But there must be action then. The situation is more grave than most students suspect. When it is shown that Joans to students last year amounted to $63,000 and that so far this year $50,000 has gone out, it becomesevident that the loan depart ment is a useful and used office. When one views against these figures, which may be taken as typical, the paltry $10,000 to be available next year, the plight of the borrowing student may be realized. Many students have come to rely on these funds for their very existence here;" without loans they will have to leave. The method, by which the funds are provided by the state or , by' private subscription is immaterial. The es sential point is that they be provided. J. R. B., Jr CLIPPED Historical Material in the South The University of North Carolina on the ground that Pope's adage is the correct one, has decided"" to re construct the history of the south by collecting from every source its human records. Professor Hamilton of the school of social sciences has been designated by the university for the task, and he has ' been ex plaining in southern newspapers just what he is after. The family records, letters, general writings and .memo randa of southern families will give the background of southern life and development, and he intends to seek these out intensively. If the cellars, desks and garrets supply the yield of which the University of North Caro lina believes them capable, southern records may one day attain the com pleteness and exactness of thos3 of New England, and many of the blanks now existing in the unfinish ed portrait of the nation will be fiUed m. - ' - " : . States about the activities of which Professor Hamilton wants to know more are Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi ana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri. Most of these were in the confederacy, the others were torn in thejr allegiance. All are cf southern base: Kentucky the eldest daughter of Virginia, Blissouri the eldest daughter of. Kentucky. The historical recards are rich. There must be hundreds of diaries which have never been . published or col lected, and there are thousands of letters, written in all the period when the south was the center of national life and anxiety, which would cast aew light upon history. War and its concomitants of fire and pillage, have destroyed many, and some records have undoubtedly been lost to sight. It is a monumen tal task to assemble them, but if the people of the south can be induced to take the proper, interest in the university's design, the results should be worth the great effort. Southerners have often, and with reason, complained of the partisan tone of much "history" that passes for a record of our sectional strug gtes. This is their opportunity to recast a great deal of it. The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were epistolary periods, and the bet ter classes of the south were highly literate and wrote much. Professor Hamilton will have a mountain range of documentation before he has half, begun. -.New York Times. Tully Blair Speaks In. Chapel Monday Tully D. Blair, agent and man ager of the Pilot Life Insurance Company of Greensboro, will , speak in chapel Monday morniiig, April- 23 on "Opportunity in Life Insurance." This talk will be the fifteenth sponsored by the Bu reau of Vocational Information, it was announced by Henry John ston from the dean of students' -office yesterday. The Bureau of Vocational Information brings to the University each year as many men of representative occupa tions as possible in order to as sist the students in picking out some field which they may choose to invade.

The debating con test was sponsored by the Dialectic and Philanthropic Literary Societies and the University Extension Division. DRIPPINGS from a JLeaky Pipe Being an initial column of the new regime, the columnist can think of no better substance than the introduction of the new officials of the Tar HeeL Take heed and list to these words, then drape yourself over the port rail. Walt Walt Spearman, as everyone knows, has this issue as his very first. Now Walt will be remembered for nis col umn called the Spearman and we of fer a humble suggestion that the new editor hang his spearman box over his paragraphics in each issue. Of course this will take up a lot of space but that should satisfy Walt. Anyway if he does, we heartily recommend that he dust off the old grind stone and polish and sharpen his spear. He might adopt as his slogan: Noiv is the time for all good men To come to the aid of their party So gather around, my Tar Heel friends And we'll sling one hell of a party. Harry f We've never gotten this name straightJut we suppose the new as sistant editor's name is Gallon. We'll be dad-limmed if we can get all these names straight but anyway it don't make no difference. There seems to be a malady about first one column ist gets the editorship and then one gets the assistant editorship. Whut's the campus coming to? Now take Galland (take him anywhere), here he run this here now Calf's Head col umn for dunno how long and now we hear he's gonna quit it. Well, we're glad that he's gonna let it go back to its mother, it's been needing parental attention for a long time." Harry had a little calf, Covered with dirty wool But the calf was rather lonesome' 'Cause Us mother was a bull. Glenn This bright and beaming boy from the Gate City has up and made some thing of himself. We won't say what it is because the D. S. O. mierht find out about it and pay him a visit but just the same he's one of the new man aging editors. Now .we fully expect to see this lad get; out his Saturday Tar Heel sometime Sunday night. But that will be all-right because the cam pus will think it's an extra. Glenn forgets everything. In fact, he got a letter from his gal once last month and got so excited that he forgot everything and didn't o to bed for over a week. Life is like that. Sing a song of two bits, a bucket full of fye, Tar Httel galleys waiting, Glenn's a eating pie. When the pie is finished, Glenn, goes off to sleep, - Whoopee! little girls and boys; don't it make you weep? George Mr. Ehrhart who hails from the east coast somewhere, was lucky enough to get his managing editor ship back. There must have been a slip somewhere for he received a ma jority vote, proving that nobody on the staff knew him but we'll pass over that. If George don't lay off choco late ice cream and malted egg yeast flips and women, he's gonna find him self somewhere where he ain't. And that seedling ford of his. We don't know what the co-eds would do with out him and they don't know what they're gonna do with him. It's a turribul life. . . Georgie, Georgie, punnin' an' pie, Kissed the gals and made 'em cry. When the gals came out to play, Georgie hid in a pile of hay. ' John And another man from Greensboro. That shows that Greensboro is a up and coming city. Now look at this red-haired genus (pardon, genius) if you can and then think to yourself whatever you choose. Of course if you don't choose, you can run anyway, but what we were going to say is that J ohnnie, might want Charlie to come on over and help him manage one is sue of this sheet. These two should get .along famously and if they don't like what they like they can debate over it and' the one that is the most gratuitously insulted can let the other buy him a ham sandwich nd pay the way to New Orleans for both. Now ain't that nize? Look at the man with some gold in his teeth And the man with some red in his head. If they get insulted about things peo ple say t . , They neither ivill knoiv it they're dead! Whoops, dearie ! " We gotta new sports editor whut calls himself Will Yarborough or something like that but we think that's just a pseudonym cause the last report we had from police courts they wuz a-looking for someone by his description. Anywayt if he ain't wanted now, he will be by the time he gets through with his sports column and editing. Perhaps he will advocate bigger salaries for players. Wee Willie Winkle, playing with" fits ball, He's gone and lost his catcher's mitt, so he's set up a squall. Reporters We have only one thing to say for the new reporters . and that's a quo tation. "Forgive them. Lord, they know not what they do." Really, hat with all the news floating about over the campus, it appears that the bally Tar Heel could get out two editions a day (and pay all columnists five bucks apiece for columns) but I reck on we'd better stop. This is the end, there ain't no mo You gotta, stop knocking at my" front do'. t The old man's home, you nit-brained crack Wait till later and come to the back. - ' Finis And now for the edification of all those who have read this column, we earnestly implore that you disregard anything said of anyone in this col umn. If the ones mentioned don't like what's in this, they'll crawl the columnist and they don't need no champions, ayther! Workman Talks To Bible Class Sunday "Where Christianity Begins" will be Dr. Workman's subject tomorrow at. the Young Men's Bible Class at the Methodist church. Dr. Workman was unable to meet the class last Sun day due to illness, but it is hoped that nothing will prevent his being able to meet the class Sunday and to discuss the subject which he has an nounced.' In the absence of Dr. Work man last Sunday, Mr. J. G. Phillips, Student Pastor of J.he Methodist Church, spoke to both the Freshmen and Upper-classmen on the theme of a better understanding of the Apostle John. He treated this in a very sim ple and interesting manner, showing the different characteristics of the man, which are often misunderstood. Tomorrow will also be the time for the election of officers for next year and also for the remainder of the present year. It is urged by the offi cials that all members of the, class be present. " Phi Delta Theta Tea Dance This Evening Moe Baer's Orchestra from Baltimore Will Play for Affair. Moe Bear's Orchestra of Baltimore will feature the twilight dance this afternoon from six to nine given by the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity in the ball-room of the Carolina Inn. This orchestra is well known because of the' reputation it has gained by broad casting over the radio, and the music should be fine. The Duke chapter of Phi Delta Theta gave a dance last night at the Washington Duke Hotel iri Durham. Moe Beards Orchestra played there also. This is a full week-end, and the dance this afternoon is expected to add greatly to the social activi ties on the campus. Mrs. Georgia James of Greenville is the guest of Mrs. Irene Lee. "Mrs. James came up with her son, Mr. Dink James, who was a former stu dent at the University. Mr. James is a Sigma Nu and attended his fra ternity dance here Friday night. Mrs. W. S. Holmes returned to her home in Lexington Friday after spending several days here as the guest of her daughter Miss Caroline Holmes.

AND ELECTIONS WIH BE MONDAY To Meet In Band Room at Seven-Thirty To Select - r Officers. Monday night at seven-thirty. the University Band will meet in the band rooms for their annual election, award night, and smoker. Award night and elections are al ways enthusiastic events in the band and mark- the rewarding of faithful serviee. Awards of the charms, which are similar to the glee club a wards, are made only after two and one half years of satisfactory service in the band, and the men who receive awards do not realize that they are the fortunate ones until they are offi cially made. During the two and a half years in the organization, cer tain musical requirements and ability are required before a man is eligible for the key. Besides his support and work in athletic events, the candi date for awards must have shown suf ficient ability and musical training to. have participated in the concert work done by a carefully selected group of musicians from the band at large. This means that he has accompanied the organization on at least one of its major concert tours. The election of officers is another of the interesting and exciting fea tures of the annual business meeting and smoker of the organization. Elec tions are always rather heated and have a number of candidates for each office to be filled. The officers who will go out at the elections Monday night are as follows: President, Char les H. White, Jr.; W. D. Whitaker, vice-president; business manager, R. L. Foltz, -who was appointed at the graduation of E. C. Crisco at the end of the winter term; and secretary; Humphrey Marshall. Smoke Shop Expands Dean Paulsen is adding another section to his already enlarged Smoke Shop. What this section is going to contain is still a mystery, but if he adds much more to his shop, Chapt-I Hill will have an embryo department store. Originally a smoke shop, the plase has grown until it now contain 5 a soda counter, a lunch counter, some sporting equipment, magazines, and almost anything that the Caro-Iina man desires.
