One of the surest and most evident signs that spring is. here in good truth is the musical sounding clink of horseshoes as they are pitched across every available empty backyard on, the ' campus. Seemingly, in the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of horseshoes ! , These sunny afternoons when ten nis, gym, and Sparrow's pool fail to beckon, inmates of fraternity houses and dormitories flock to,Nthe horse shoe court, field, links, floor, grounds, or whatever one may call that level space of terra firma over which eques trian boots may be tossed. Today the annual Intramural Horse shoe Tournament gets under way and the race for, the championship is on. That ancient and honorable outdoor sport has achieved recognition; the game of horseshoes has taken its rightful place in the category of in tramural - snorts. All . hail to the I springtime horseshoers and long and I accurately "may they pitch! I : : ; . THE CURTAIN CALL v (Dav Carol) - There is something of pathos in the exit of a senior. Magazine covers will continue to de pict the graduate as an arrogant youth aspiring to world conquest. And perhaps it is weir that we who leave the shrines of . learning this June should be accorded so much attention, even though it be jocular cartooning. For not many many years hence, few of us will receive more than a grini, two-inch obituary. ' Then why have we spent these years in "preparation?" Have we lived in Chapel Hill in - order that we might pose on magazine covers or die in obscure newspaper columns? Some people say of certain fanciful things that they have "neither rhyme nor reason." They- imply that - life has both rhyme and reason. . . . Ask them, therefore, why you have come to college; for the writer has faintly heard only the rhyme of life; the rea son he has not found. But there need be no reason in the life of animals so base, as men. They have a great 'actuating, lust which will sustain them against the, despair of self -analysis. They grow hungry, for get their beautiful thoughts, and turn to strife as a pastime, as a means of procuring meat for their bellies; In the absence of reason, they fol low a few phrase-makers whom they deem great men, and to whom they erect shafts of stone and marble. One of the agitators paints a colorful pic ture and shouts: a. single word, "pa triotism"; forthwith a nation goes to war, A frock-coated word-master mounts a rostrum with sobs of "God," "virtue," and "sin"; a people . goes chanting to church. ". A University scholar seizes upon a mere monosyl lable; "truth," and weaves an eloquent delusion about it; a thousand sons and daughters are carted offv to his insti tution, i Symbols,, symbols of a thing that never was. Yet, men fignt wars, establish churches, and support schools because these things are incident to their worship of phrases. ' And of all these words, two are-the fountain-head of authority. Each phrase-maker stoutly maintains that his pet word is descended from one of these symbols, or perhaps from both. The royal pair are Duty and Love. Duty is said to be masculine, and love feminine; but; the classification is ridiculous. . - , " " You are here to learn the meaning of these words: pray to God, which is one of the words,' that you will use the. rest properly. FIRST DANCE OF "SUMMER JUNE 14 y , . . .-'. .""... ; Announcement Made by H. F. ; Corner is of Interest to Summer Students The first summer school dance will be held on June 14 in Bynum Gymna sium, according "to an announcement made yesterday by. II. F. 'r Comer, chairman of the summer school social committee. This dance, being the first of the' session, will be a "long dance,'' lasting two 'hours and a half. There will be no, admission fee Dances will be held during both ses sions of the summer , school. An eightipiece orchestra has b'een hired for the session and will play for "short dances," lasting fifty-five min'i utes, on Tuesday and Thursday eve nings ..immediately following supper ; Every Saturday night and every Friday night preceding, a Saturday t n which there are no-classes, therJ will be a "long dance." These dance, are for, the students of the summer fchool, their guests, and friends. Tie ad- mjssion fee.for the "long dans" will be fifty cents for, the "shoi dance" twenty-five cents. All dand will be held in -Bynum Gymnasium THE TAR HEEL 3 53m 3otni0 iu By H. J. Galland The Band Played On ". As per schedule, the band gave its concert on the campus Sunday after noon. We attended, and so didseven of the ten town mutts, forty-eight of the fifty-one children of professors and townspeople, and thirty of the twenty-seven hundred students of the University. . It was, incidentally, an enjoyable concert, 'and we're sorry there will be no more of them this season. So will the mutts, for there will be, no "more interesting musicians to investigate, nor music to- nrnviMp the rhythm for ecstatic tail-chasing. And no more ; audiences for Mr: Mc- Corkle to count with an anxious eye, wondering where these professed music-lovers disappear to when the mu sic : they demand is forthcoming." , ; And Why Not? ; The last issue of the favorite fry weakly headlines: "Wigue and Masquers Take, on a Professional Air in Their Practice for Tropical. Revue." Quite so, quite so, 'but. the head-writer "didn't tell the half of it. F'rinstance, at one of the rehearsals a number of the young ladies in the cas.t' were. re quired to practice their stuff. ; Ond of them had beenswimming in Spar row's Pool, .and did not have time to dress and catch the rehearsaron time. So she arrived at Memorial. Hall in her bathing, suit and did; her turn, lending the proper tropical air to the revue. It is understood that future rehearsals will be closed; to' alF chose 'Scrll3r;'ln"-7ihe ' production, and that, no more bathing suits" will be worn. So what's the use? Education A La Mode Mr. Oscar J. Coffin, of (or we might have left the "of" out and just said "the") Department of ' Journalism of this University, in the course of an article on-Mass Education in the Sun day Greensboro Daily . News says: "Too much of the present-day teach er's work is done on the platform, of the professional association in an' ef fort to break into the news' columns and too little' in the class-room. The old idea of a university being consti tuted of a log with Mark Hopkins at one end and a boy at the other has given way to seven-score professors talking for publication on subjects which they' have heard briefly men tioned over the radio . whilst seven thousand boys are away from the campus bumming rides, track-meeting, baseballing,' - or glee-clubbing."' And what's more,' Mr. Coffin, some of the professors ' seem to have, listened, in for their radio information while there was a lot of static in the air. ' ' i The j Whimsical Aviator i Beautiful , views of the University cfcmpus and . buildings were taken re cently from an airplane. All parts of tie institution of (to quote outsiders, Who don't know any better) learning were included except the Laundry and tee Co-ed Shack, sometimes referred t. in the nublic nrints as. Snpncor x ailding. . When the omission was inted out to the airman, he is un- dfrstood to have said that he was in-- ucted to take pictures of the useful rts of the University only, not the curies.

OPEN FORUM i FOR LECTURES AND MUSIC Editor of the Tat. Heel: 1 ' Dave Carroll, although absent from the campus, gave us a rather potent editorial in Saturday's issue of the Tar Heel concerning the lack of lec tures, music, and good plays on the campus. We take issue - with Dave in only one phase of his letter. It would be practically impossible for the University to bring plays, or good ones, to thecampus. But the Univer sity can bring good music and good lecturers. -. - . " -That is, it would appear that the University of North Carolina could give the students the above two things if other institutions can. We have had very little of music and lectures on the campus this year and some of these performances have gone almost totally unattended: Evidently there is something wrong. - . j Perhaps the lectures did not appeal to the students as would John Erskine, Struthers Burt and a few others who have either visited the Hill ; or come close by. Students; will listen to and enjoy people and music they know something about. They 'are hardly interested in things and people who are not interesting, or about whom or what they know nothing. Why can't the University make a conscious at tempt to bring a few men to the cam pus who will interest the students? I believe that very few students would object to a small fee levied a n H a Automotive ' - A Mew t STATEMENT !. ' ' ' ' We wish to thank the whole community for the many courtesies shown the owners of the H. S. Pendergraft Motor Co. since the disastrous fire of last week. V ' ' " - ' Recent events have rendered advisable the formation of a new firm, com posed of Carolina students and local business men. While we have not yet selected our location,: we assure the public that the New Company will have every advantage of the latest equipment handsome home, experienced personnel, and adequate resources. - Its great aim will be to further the public convenience. As we wishMo add to the beauty of Chapel Hill and to establish not so .much a new business, as a Community Institution subject to the needs and wishes of the town, we gladly pledge ourselves : . : ' It 2. 3. a: Watch our advertisements, and see that these pledges mean what they say. - At present, the H. S. Pendergraft Motor Co. is conduct ing business on the ,old site, arid the New Company will be, in temporary, quarters soon. We desire only an op portunity to serve." . -:: : :Xy';iy- 'r-: ' ';" ' J. F. COOPER: ' ' O V ifT?Kim!i?mimsHimH each quarter to assist in paying the expenses of men who are interesting and who would interest the students. The University could levy this fee if they chose." Didn't they undertake to "collect the dues from delinquent mem bers of one of the literary societies on the campus? And wasn't the( sword of Damocles in fhesshape of receiving no credit for work taken held over the members of this society if the dues were not paid through the Uni versity which was acting as collect ing agent? ' ' Then why can't the University levy a few .cents fee on the students, for lectures and music? Is the Univer sity losing its far-famed liberalism arid much-praised culture for the sake of playing the part of a' modem Janus? ' If the University can collect dues from a society that does no earthly good so far as the campus in general is concerned, why can't it take the interests of ah. the students to heart and give them a little pleasure coupled with information that might be glean ed from intelligent lecturers and good musicians? . Perhaps if the proper people were approached in the proper attitude, something would be done toward get ting a few good lecturers and musi cians here and perhaps nothing would be done. My guess is that the University would rathe'r see the two societies wrangle over ' the "Golden We have heated every University building constructedtvithin - , the past eight years.

Well, put it to anything so long- as the students -on this campus will be able to enjoy a few privileges as stu dents in some other colleges do. Just because some of the officials in the University would rather sit back and jsmoke a corncob pipe or chew a straw is no sign or" reason that some of the students wish to do the same. If the University cannot arrange for', more and better, lecturers, "then I suggest they give their money to a high and noble cause something like an endowment fund for the protection of blind mice in Sampa if mice live there. - The money might do more good and at least the mice would appreciate it.
