PARAGRAPHICS
The renovated Di Hall is to be ded
icated tonight. Ancient glory takes
up its habitat in modern surroundings.
Regardless of how vehemently "any
one may assert that tradition no long
er rules it cannot be denied that the
"Rain of Tradition" accompanied
High School Week- as usual.
And a call goes out for new men
on the Buccaneer staff. Well, when
it becomes necessary to put out a copy
- .' .. v. ;t;"y from other college
- it r r. it !' tine to add on some
6iTice tne new golf team has start
ed out so auspiciously by winning the
state championship, what about the
inauguration of other minor sports?
Fencing might be revived, and such
sports as soccer and swimming begun.
' "Whoops M'Dear" is to be the lat
est venture of the Wigue and Masque.
If the comic skits and the musical
numbers are as good as is reported,
this new revue may indeed bring
.forth campus exclamations of
"Whoops M'Dear" especially with
the added attraction of co-eds in the
cast.
INTRAMURALLY SPEAKING
On the sports page today is a rath
er lengthy column devoted to news of
Intramural Athletics". Henceforth
more attention and space will be giv
en over to this phase of athletics than
has been in the past. '
In our first editorial we declared
that policies would be hit upon as the
occasion called for them. Let this
then, if you wish, be noted as a Tar
Heel policy. We believe in the worth
of Intramural Athletics; and we glad
ly offer the cooperation of the Tar
Heel in furthering their cause.
However true it may be that var
sity contests bring fame to a school,
it is certainly lamentably obvious that
the campus as a whole does not par
ticipate in these. But Intramural
Athletics embrace the whole student
body herein opportunities are open
to all. In ' this particular phase of
sports those men take part who would
not otherwise do so. Most men who
go out for varsity teams are already
good athletes they have to be or the
teams have no place for them. On the
other hand those who. engage actively
in Intramurals have usually had little
experience in sports and need the de
velopment brought about by athletic
training.
Brief ly -then, we offer our support
to Intramurals.
DORMITORIES THAT DO
Having lived around in several dor
mitories during our three7 years' so
journ here, we submit that most dor
mitories serve admirably for shelter
and even provide comfortable rooms
for enjoyable bull sessions both of
which functions are passive rather
than active. The complaint is, then,
that dormitories seldom do anything.
The news of dormitory socials, mov
ie parties, bridge tournaments, and
what not in one of the quadrangle
buildings strikes an encouraging note.
It would seem that at least one dor-
mitory has decided that it was time
to do as well as to be. Such a pro
gram shows initiative on the part
of someone and deserves congratula
tory mention.
The main point that we would like
to make is that such a series of socials
13 valuable in that it brings the men
living in the same dormitory eloser
together and forms the basis for many
pleasant contacts that otherwise might
never be made.
Election of new dormitory officers
for the coming year will be held this
week; and the Tar Heel would like
to suggest to them that they consider
the efficacy of frequent social meet
ings in each building and especially
at the beginning of next year when
there will be hundreds of new fresh
men to be absorbed by the student
body.
THE LECTURES COMMITTEE
An announcement that James Boyd
is to lecture at N. C. C. W. brings to
mind the fact that the University
Lectures committee has brought very
few speakers to the local campus this
year. Our sister institution has had
Richard 'Halliburton and John Ers
kine, among others of equal promi
nence, whom we feel could have been
brought to this University without un
due financial strain. Whatever their
value as lecturers, these men would
have spoken to filled houses of stu
dents here.
During the present season the Lec
tures committee has brought Will Du
rant, Bliss Carman, Mrs. Verner and
Dr. Danes to the campus. But they
are not enough. The crowds which
turned out to hear Durant and Car
man testify that students are willing
to attend lectures they believe will
be good.
True, the committee has only $500
annually at its disposal. This year it
paid Durarit $350 of this sum, with
the remaining $150 distributed: even
ly among the other thtee lecturers.
The committee, we feel, has not
done all that it might with its appro
priation. Perhaps it did make the
$500 go as far as this meagre sum
could, but after this amount was
spent the committee evidently went
into hibernation. It did not attempt
to draw on the untapped source of
speaking material in North Carolina,
a good bit of which could be brought
to the University with no exepense at
all. It did not ask James Boyd or
Struthers Burt to come over from
Pinehurst, Edwin Bjorkman to run
down from" Asheville, or Laurence
Stallings to say a word or two when
h-3 was in Chapel Hill recently. Nor
has it gone to Raleigh and asked a
few fiery sentences from that friend
of the University, Nell Battle Lewis.
If the Lectures committee was ap
pointed to spend $500, it is an un
qualified success; i if to secure lectur
ers, it has failed. '

TENNIS NOTICE
Continuance of play in the State
Intercollegiate . Tennis Tournament
will mark the only athletic engage
at the University - today. Jupiter
Pleuvius ruled the elements Friday
Saturday, and Monday, but if he re
lents, the matches-will be resumed to
day. Carolina's three doubles teams
and four singles players survived
Thursday's elimination, series, thus
advancing all of the Tar Heel en
trants into the second bracket of play.
The other teams remaining in the run
ning are State's two doubles and two
singles entries, Wake Forest's two
doubles and two singles, Davidson's
doubles combination and a singles
netman, and Duke's two singles con
testants. The first day of play was
marked by several flashy matches,
in which a galaxy of collegiate stars
participated.

By II. J. Galland
With a figurative bottle smashed
over the bows, this column slides
gently down the ways to a regular
plaee in the Tuesday issue of the Tar
Heel. In fact, if the truth be known,
it not only slides, but is pushed, for
just a few minutes ago the Managing
Editor said "What! No column writ
ten? - Hey, feller, get a move on."
So here we are. We hadn't meant
to start today. We wanted a little
vacation from column-writing, now
that we're through with the old one.
And we were angling for a little time
in which to get a cut for the top of
this thing, thus, we figured, filling up
a little more space. But these here
Issue Editors ain't got no heart, atall,
a tall.
We wish to offer congrats to the new
campus officers, who are to be install
ed this morning during chapel period.
We extend the hand of this depart
ment to Ed Hudgins, Mac Gray, Bill
Chandler, Odell Sapp, and Hoyt
Pritchett, and wislv 'em luck. Maybe
they'll need it. But anyway, congrats I
Well, High School lads and lassies
have up and went. You'd think that
now they've gone, Old Man Weather
would let up and give us a taste of
his regular wares. Tradition has been
preserved, and the record of rain for
High School Week unbroken. And
we poor harassed students can now
go back to work," or something, un
bothered by frantic cries of "Fire!"
Incidentally, the Y has done some
mighty good work in connection with
the boys and girls who visited us
work which is not generally recog
nized. Between four and five hundred
boys were placed in rooms on the
campus, and the work was done quiet
ly and quickly. Good stuff!
A call for cheer-leaders has been
issued. We hope Cap'n Waddell won't
overlook the earnest young men who
did some cheer-leadings on their own
accounts Election Day. "You know
Bill Whozits, don't you? Fine fel
low. Capt. of the Checker Tiam,
Pres. of the Arboretum Walkers Un
ion, and a lot of other things. Cap
able too. Y'oughter vote for him!"
Those are the boys. Good material
for you Peddy.
George Bernard Shaw generally
knocks down some rusty precedents
when he makes a public statement, or
raises a ruckus in some way or other.
In a recent letter to a college student
he said: "Except in cases where a
college degree is an indispensable
qualification for some contemplated
professional career, a college student
should make the most out of college
by reading what he likes and discuss
ing it at student's club's (if there are
any except drinking and sporting
ones) and doing the least minimum
of dry work to secure-a pass, or even
retire without one short of being
kicked out. Travel if you can afford
it, preferably on foot and fourth
class." Suits us. George, but have
you seen the profs about this propo
sition? The Editor has something to say
about the good influence of dormitory
activities in an editorial in this issue.
We are in hearty accord (look what
happened to Heywood Broun when
he disagreed, with his paper's editorial
policy) and we wish to offer a little
suggestion. An activity eminently
suitable to dormitory life is the little
pastime of Pocket Basketball. All
that is necessary is a tin wastebasket,
three tennis balls, and a room-mate.
" You set the basket at one end of
the room, tilted against the door away
from you, and fire the balls into it
if possible. Whether you get them in
or not, the balls make a lovely noise
against the tin basket, and the fel
lows on either side of you are sure to
come in and take a lively interest in
the proceedings. The proper time to
play this game is between 11 and 12
o'clock at night during exam week,
to obtain the best results.
Students in colleges throughout the
land have been raising a cry for un
limited cuts. But what, asks The
Ohio State Lantern, of the professor?
We echo, What?- An Ohio State prof
declares himself in favor of the idea
with reservations. The reservations
are that "the instructor be allowed to
deseTt the classroom when the class
fails to pvhihit tVip nrnnfr intoyac
------ 'tiWl-iVJlj I
or send home to his papa any student)
who fails to show an interest in the
entertainment, and that the instruc
tor" be furnished with a rope, (to do
the Indian rope trick) a bunch of
fire crackers, a pool table, and some
pocket knives for whittling, to help
in the business of entertaining."
Well, it's all right with us.

STUDENTS BEGM
TO TAKE HEED OF
NEW REGIMTIONS
Special Signs Have Been Pro
vided at Stated Locations;
Students Taking Heed.
The rather stringent efforts of the
University to decrease promiscuous
parking of autos and all vehicles pa
rading under that name, are begin
ning to show results. Special park
ing places have been provided at stat
ed locations, with signs erected point
ing out the way thereto, and all .the
curbs of Cameron avenue, the erstwhile-favorite
of parkers, whether
for a minute or day, have been deco
rated with "No Parking" instructions
in plain black and white.
At first, it seemed that the drivers
were contempfating ignoring the at
tempts of the University officials to
improve conditions. However, ar
rangements were satisfactorily made
with the municipality of Chapel Hill
whereby the entire motorized section
of the city's police force has been de
tailed to campus on parking duty. A
rather large percentage of the police
force here has- been equipped with
motorcycles, in numbers no less than
thirty-three and a third percent. The
use of this means of enforcing the
law has shown great results. Very
few cars parked out of place, whether
by, deans, students, noted absent
minded professors, visitors, executiye
officials, irrespective of the person of
the driver, are soon adorned with a
red tag, the like of which is almost
nationally known. So far these bril
liant placards have been intended as
a warning, with an ominous under
note that warnings may soon cease.
"Apparently no harm has yet been
done to the local representatives of
the law, although they have been ob
served on, the campus numerous times
at night This situation seems to be
a refutation "of the prevailing attitude
of , the vicious, malicious, good for
nothing evaluation of college students,
since it is in the University records
that, some years in the past, the au
thorities of the college formally re
quested the town to keep its police
at home at night, since the colleges
was altogether unable to assume re
sponsibility for the safety of the po
licemen who might be found by stu
dents wandering on the campus at
night.

DORMITORIES TO
SELECT OFFICERS
FOR C0M1G YEAR
Elections of President and Vice
President Will Take Place To
night to Prevent Delay.
- At the last meeting of the Carolina
Dormitory Club it was decided to hold
the nominations for president and
vice-president of the various dormi
tories for the scholastic year 1925-29,
on Tuesday night, April .24. The
election of these new officers will be
held two days later, April 26, in the
manner decided upon by the indivi
dual dormitories.
These officers for next year are be
ing elected this quarter in order that
the dormitory councils may be or
ganized without delay at the begin
ning of the year, and in order for
some responsible dormitory govern
mental machinery be on hand at the
first to welcome the freshman into
the dormitories. Smokers were held
at the beginning of this year for wel
coming the new men. All the plan
ning had to be, done by the Intra-mu-ral
department. It is planned that
this procedure shall be again used
next year with the dromitory presi
dent as the leader in his dormitory.

Blrs. Holmes Read "What Every

Night.
Oh Sunday night In the Playmaker
building before an appreciative audi
ence, Mrs. Urban Holmes read J. M.
Barrie's "What Every Woman
Knows." This four-act play is one of
Barrie's characteristically light and
humorous works. It first appeared
in 1908, and has had many revivals
since that time. The play was made
intensely interesting through Mrs.
Holmes' masterly handling of the
Scottish dialect.
Mrs. Miriam Hilton entertained by
singing a number of Scottish ballads
by Robert Burns and Sir Walter
Scott. Mrs. Hilton handled this type
of song with fascinating ease.
It is through this type of worth
while entertainment that the Play
makers have become one of the lead
ing departments in the University.
