C SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1928 NUMBER SI "Hay! Hay!' ' Brings Ghagrin And Joy to Bewildered and Yellow Journal Awaiting Crowd By PROMETHEUS The far-famed YELLOW JOURNAL blossomed out Friday afternoon at the Carolina-Virginia game and lo and behold it was not a yellow journal. Setting a precedent the Odd Number. Chapter of Sigma Upsilon, national literary fraternity whose initiates sell the ochre sheet, stole calmly away from the accepted and expected type of -literature; and gave only harmless bits of imaginary (supposedly) inci dents that that had happened to only the members of . Sigma Upsilon, Holt McPherson, business manager, and Ed Hudgins. ' The initiates of the fraternity garb ed themselves in their usual fantastic regalia yesterday morning and pro ceeded to stroll the' streets, campus, and classrooms with an utter abandon. This initiation is generally recognized as the most spectacular of the year, perhaps enhanced by the selling of the journals.'. '.. -. -' V General concensus of - campus opin ion was that the journal was not com ing oat, having been squelched-by a few, students, faculty members, and the student' council. When the initi ates removed their garb about two' o'clock yesterday afternoon in prep aration to see the game , in civilized clothes, everyone , was confident that the YELLOW JOURNAL was a thing of the past., All went, well and the initiates and piembers were standing about in the - stadium when, evidently at a given sinal from someone, all suddenly, dis closed the sheets of yellow , crying HAY! HAY!, the name of the new ( journal. Men, women and children , -were tromped in the rush to obtain a precious copy. - Police attempted to stop the sale, but all in vain. HAY! , HAY! had a program on it and it was " oeing soia m part . as a program. Everyone s rushed to see his or her t nmne, wie game was AUigobicii m nxe meelee, and Dr. Ab has many patients ; as a result. - Frantic cries rent the heavens as ifnr1pTits nftmntpd to obtain conies of the yellow sheet. All grasped them close to their bosoms and began to scan eagerly the columns for the famed dirty truth about members of the faculty and student body. Many held their breath in fear while a help ful brother . kindly looked over the sheet for personal references; signs of relief v were audible even so far - up ' town as the New Dorms as boys and coo-eds discovered that their deeds had not come .under the surveillance of the editors ol tA 1 1 jua x i . . -w-w a -r i-r k it " They all expected something . hot and blazing but it was about the best hoax ever perpetrated on the campus Those who greedily devoured the sin- . trip, tiap-e f lY?" dirt were dissrustinglv surprised when they found nothing o . : . - that even the. most dignified . Eliza bethan could not read to a young daughter; nothing but what even the most pure-minded might peruse in wholesome safety. ; - Preachers pro nounced it a success, boys and girls who hadfbeen guilty of misdemeanors on the campus proclaimed it wonder ful ; and the students who had done nothing but who had nervously a waited the expected spicy morsels a- bout their friends and enemies pro nounced it "Rotten as hell!"

The alumni of the local chapter of the Chi Phi fraternity honored the chapter with a beautiful dance at the Washington Duke Hotel in Durham last night from ten till two. This was one of the most delightful enter tainments of its kind given this year, and a large crowd was present. Music was furnished by the Carolina Buc caneers. ' The ball-room was Jbeautif ully dec orated with scarlet and blue ; colors, emblems of the fraternity, and a large Chi Phi pin brilliantly studded with light. A well planned figure was led by Worth Morris, assisted, by Graham Dozier and Eugene McNulty. Late Wire A telegram received just before the Tar.

(By Onward) Due to the threatening attitude tak en by the Student Council, the most interesting YELLOW JOURNAL pro duced in years . was suppressed . and the" campus was favored, with a mild hoax in the form of a Hay! -Hay! sheet which was sold on Emerson Field on, Friday afternoon. Members of Sigma Upsilon were interviewed for an explanation of such an anti climax to the eager hopes of the cam pus. . . ' ' The second journal was passed out as a program in order that it- might not be suppressed by officers qf the law which the student council threat ened to employ. It would not have been considered objectionable and could have been sold freely in Bos ton Zion City ; or Dayton, Tenn. Many members of the faculty and persons in the student body who had guilty consciences were relieved to see that the members of Sigma Upsi lon, the ball team, and Ed Hudgins were the .sole recipients, of publicity at the hands of HAY !

The Carolina Playmakers, on their 20th annual state tour, are being en thusiastically received by the audi ences of each city in which they are playing, according to newspaper crit ics.? Many critics report that this is the best group of plays and players that has ever represented the Play- makers on an annual tour. The Play- makers are demonstrating on this tour the type of cultural and dramatic art being developed at present in the Uni versity of North Carolina. - - The three plays given on the tour include "Mountain Magic" by Edith Daseking, "Job's Kinsfolks" by Mrs. Loretto Carrol Bailey, and "A Shot- Gun Splicin'" by Mrs. Gertrude Wil son Coffin. " , The reviewing critic in the Char lotte Observer writes, "No pioneer work of the Playmakers organization, even, that which brought to light Paul Green, the winner of last year's Pulit zer prize for the best piece of dra matic literature writing, surpassed the bill produced here on the Playmakers' 20th tour of Western North Carolina, Playwriting talent was not only ex hibited, but intellectual vigor and im aginative power." This article was written after the Playmakers had giv en their repertoire of plays on May 5, in the auditorium of the Central High School of Charlotte. . The. same critic extended favorable comment upon Mrs. Gertrude Wilson Coffin, the author of "A Shot-Gun Splicin'." The reviewer also praised the acting of Miss Enita Nicks, Miss Helen Dortch Miss Noel Walker, and Shepperd Strudwick. The players were highly lauded when they played in the Hickory au ditorium on May 8. According to the critie writing for the ' Hickory paper "the proteges of Professor F. H. Koch clearly portrayed the dramatic possi bilities of Carolina life with a. skii rarely found on the professiona stage." The entire group of players was praised for the performance. Mrs Loretto Carrol Bailey, the author of "Job's Kinsfolks,'.' starred in the role of Kizzie, the grandmother. "A Shot- Gun Splicin' " had as its star, in this performance, the author of the play, Mrs. Gertrude Wilson Coffin. , Performances were , also given in Albemarle on May 4; Gastonia on May 7; Hendersonville on May ,9; the Ashe ville auditorium on May 10; Johnston City, Tenn. on May 11. The organi- ! zation is playing in Bufnsville tonight. A performance will be given in the Reynolds auditorium at Winston-Salem on May 14 and a performance will be staged in the Odell Memorial audi torium of Greensboro on May 15. The Greensboro performance concludes the Playmakers' 20th annual state tour. " - (By Anti-Hudgins) Wednesday' "night at eleven, o'clock at, the orders of EdJHudgins, Presi dent of the.

After : being made aware, by veiled suggestions that drastic action (like ly expulsion) . would be the action of the Student Council, representing es pecially the , faculty : and somewhat the student body, if the YELLOW JOURNAL were published the liter ary fraternity decided not to print or sell the paper as it was originally planned. At the beginning of the two hour and-a-quarter meeting , Wednesday night Hudgins with his usual cheerful frankness admitted that the Student Council investigation into the appear ance of the YELLOW JOURNAL was (Continued last page) Cavaliers Win Second Game of Annual Series by 5-3 Score When Tar Heels Fail to Connect for Hits in Pinches Galaxy of Glorious Girls Gather for Game -o- N.C.C.W. and G.C. Femmes Plan ginia Game at Greensboro Today En Masse; Special Train Leaves Here This Morning. 1 - - : O- - What is expected to be the most effective cheering ever behind a Carolina team will be seen and heard in Greensboro today at the big game. With the N. C. C. W. and G. C. girls, Cheerios and Carolina band massed together, and aided by the greater part of the University student body, en thusiasm and cheering such as has never been witnessed before in this section will likely result, according to Cheerio officials. A special train will take most of the students, all the Cheerios, the band, and probably the team to the Gate City. The Cheerios under chief cheer-leader Petty Waddill, have been training hard for a week for the event, and the About Two Thousand Attend Engineering School's Open House Held in Phillips Hall EXHIBITS ARE GOOD School Celebrates 133 Years of Service to the University and the State. Twenty two laboratory, exhibits, demonstrating the wonders of engi neering provided -.. entertainment for some two thousand ' spectators at the Second Annual Qpen house held by the Engineering school in Phillip's Hall last night. Some of the exhibits were in the nature of engineering freaks. . Ad. electric bulb, in a magic circle, burn ed without wires, and thumb tacks were measured by inches when within the magic circle. Numerous other, queer phenomena were exhibited. Ac cording to spectators, no longer would the electrical engineer, with his magic circle, be called "nature's mistake." A model hydro-electric development, modelled after St. Francis Dam, was one of the features. Power generated by this mimic plant lighted .the ex hibits. . Professor H. F. Janda, general su pervisor, Messrs. J. VV. bolen, T. P. Noe, C. C. Hazell,.Jr., and J. D. Mc Connell sponsored the entertainment for the visitors. Refreshments were served by the co-eds. Engineering courses were offered at the University as far back as 1852, under Charles Phillips, professor of civil engineering. Engineering was a part of the. School of;.

Approximately 40 men were used in singing the concert number at the Inn.

This rivalry between the stands as well as the teams will create much in terest of itself. The train leaves this morning at eight o'clock for Greensboro, and begins the return trip at mid night.

Captain Stephens of the Virginians held the Tar Heels to three" scattered hits and was given excellent support by his team-mates. Carolina ran the bases yell, but was unable to hit in the pinches. " The Cavaliers pushed across three markers in the first frame as a result of Ellison's wildness and a single by Cardwell. The inning opened when Bowen drew a walk and took second on the fielder's choice that got April at second. Ellison was unable to set tle down, and Sloan and Close, in turn, drew free passes to the initial sack. Then with three men on the paths Cardwell crashed out a single to center sending Bowen and Sloan home. .It was at this point that Ful cher went into the contest, replacing . Ellison on the mound for Carolina. Byrd hit a long sacrifice fly to Bern hardt in left, sending Close over with the third and final run of the inning.
