that lthe freshman -himself nine
times out of ten will get as much fun
trying to scramble like an egg, wres
tle with his conscience', or bark at
the moon as the upperclassman who
directs - the performance. "
So take this-: advice if you Wish
(and if you don't wish, you may haze
and be hazed !) don't worry about
minor examples of hazing; just-take
them in the . right spirit and all's
well. 4) But if some -bullying upper
classman wants revenge for the in
dignities he was subjected to as
"fresh meat" and comes round wit,h
a big paddle , and a murderous in
tent, find the student council, report
the would-be hazer) and let there be
one less superfluous nuisance at the
University.

PARAGRAPHICS
With Paul Whiteman's orchestra
booked for. October 12, the customary
"University Day" will indeed be a
momentous .event.. And anyhow,
what better way could be found to
celebrate the founding of the Uni
versity' than a concert by such an
orchestra. ' . '
' Once again the annual rushing sea
son is in with a swing. It's really a
pity that classes have to interfere
with such an important phase of a
freshman's instruction!
' . '
These new trench coats' that blos
somed out in the last rain must be
an admission that getting an educa
tion is something of a fight after all.
-' ' ' . ' t
Noting that the face of the Caro
lina Grill has beenS painted green,
we are . prone to wonder whether it
was to keep up with the cd-eds or to
make an impression on the new men?
. For' some week last spring the Tar
Heel waged ah intensive campaign
in favor of a student entertainment
fee to provide for worth . while pro
grams of music, 'drama and lectures;
When the 'time, came for voting upon
this motion, was' passed by an . over
whelming majority, which showed
plainly that the sentiment " of the
campus was heartily - in favor of se
curing some means for : booking en
tertainment to be interspersed along
with the regular .routine of classwork.
Now that the tentative ';..; program
has been made public, the plan is
even more favorably endorsed. When
the certainty of hearing Paul White
man's Orchestra, Sherwood Ander
son, Count Von Luckner, E. H. Soth-
ern, Richard Halliburton, and others
in one. year all for, the price of three
dollars appears then - how could
suchr a plan prove 1 otherwise than
popular from the very first?
The idea-seed was planted last
spring; the program-tree grew up-
and flourished during the summer ;
and now this . fall comes the ' first
fruit of the plan with Paul White
man's orchestra.

. OPEN FORUM
APPROVES DEBATE COURSE
To the Editor:
Last night was the official "Col
lege, Night" . but many a poor stu
dent . will find that there are hun
dreds of college nights between fresh
man orientation and senior gradua
tion. HOW TO TAKE IT .
According to all rules f of the -University,
and laws passed by the state
legislature of North Carolina, haz
ing is forbidden at Carolina. This
regulation was , made as ? the ' result
of-no sudden whim nor is it the handi
work of solons who may be accused
of not understanding college boys and
theip'tricks and pranks. ' Rather was
it enacted at the costly sacrifice of
the.Jife of a student, who "was killed
.a, few years ago in a hazing episode
: put on for the amusement "of some
upperclassmen. With such an ex
ample uppermost in student's minds,
the old .form of hazing has largely
died out. At present there is a com
paratively small amount of really
rough treatment given the new men.
That is as it should be.. And, if
sophomores or other uppercfass
men- so far forget : the reasonable
rules as to break them, action' should
be taken. .
The student council, declares Pres
ident Hudgins, stands ready to in
vestigate any reported brutality in
flicted upon freshman. Nor should
the 'freshmen hesitate to report any
hazing which goes beyond the safe
limit of a bit of fun. . . , ..
There are certain forms of hazing
which, 'although they might .be tech
nically placed in the category of haz
ing, are so harmless that they should
: be accepted without - complaint and
overlooked. This type includes such
innocuous demands ; " as songs
speeches, laundry - lists recitations,
and even small errands. The fresh
man will most probably not be called
upon to perform these very often ;
but when he is, the wise freshman
will go through his tricks willingly
'and with good grace and will dis
cover that he has made a' friend of
the upperclassman who came to find
a little fun. And the best of it is
Well, we've meandered back again.

3. Air castles are -queer things.

I noticed in Tuesday's Tar Heel
that the University is planning to
offer, a debating course "which will
carry a creditT of one-half course
Having been interested . in debating
and the discussion of current pub
lic,, issues for a number of years, J
wish to state that I highly approve
of the University's action, following
Dr. McKie's recommendation. As
yet, I believe, no such a course will
help stimulate interest in debatin
and the discussion of the present-day
public questions. :
During the past few years interest
in the forensic art has sadly lagged,
in fact, it has been almost completely
neglected. Stimulation of this sort
should prove quite valuable in help
ing to restore to debating in the Uni
versity of North Carolina its proper
place.' Last year the University made
an excellent record in debating, but,
at the same time, outside of the con
tenders themselves, very little inter
est was shown in the matter.
A class of this sort , will also give
the student an opportunity to keep
in close touch with present-day situa
tions and topics.' The classes should
prove more interesting on account of
the fact that faculty members who
are intimately acquainted with the
topics which will be discussed are to
lead the argument.
I believe , that the inducement of
half a course credit- will add to the
enrollment in such a class. While I
do not believe that the credit offered
-
Will be the greatest thing secured from
the course I am certain that no more
effective' means could be employed
to secure attendance. And, after all,
is not such a course deserving , of
credit and recognition ? If the stu
dents will take into consideration some
of the courses from which a complete
credit is being derived, I believe they
will agree with me.
I only hope that this class will
Drove an effective aid and stimula
tion to a greater interest in Public
Discussion and Debates.

editor of Opport unity, leading Negro
journal writes in the second of these
articles on Jazz Poetry and Blues.
He says, concerning - the former,
"The poetry which goes by the name
(jazz) is a f venture in the, new bold
rhythms characteristic of the music."
He claims "much for the jazz poem:
a release from the modern chains of
social oppression, even as were the
spirituals from the chains of slav
ery; the signal marking place of the
"birth of -a new racial consciousness
and self conception!" The Blues, lie
reminds us, are not of the Negro in
tellectuals, but of those .who : live
"beneath the range of polite society."

poems lack only CuHen, McKay, and

' I have a mania for crawling through
a number of unexplored caverns be-
tween the towns of Woodstock and
Mt. Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley.
One cave was exceedingly dangerous
with its tight passages, etc I spent
three hours in this cavity, groping
, blindly with a " dead " flashlight and
a severed guiding string.
To cut my story shcrt, I was finally
rescued by a' searching party after a
terrible experience. It wss a wonder
ful feeling as I sat at the mouth of the
cavern telling my friends that I would '
not go' back in there for love ner
money. I meant it until I reached "
for my can of Edgeworth. It was gone,
and I recalled dropping something,
during the excitement in the cave.
It is queer what a man will do when
his favorite tobacco is concerned. I
realized that without ray tobacco it
would be as bad as being lost in the
cavity i-so I crawled back. '
It was a grand and glorious feeling
as my hand came in contact with the
Aristocrat of Tobacco.

voted entirely to the poets and poe
try of the Dark People.
It is a delightful issue; made so
by the talent and worth of its con
tributors among them such leaders
as Alain Locke, Charles' S. Johnson,
Langston Hughes,.3Irs. G. D. John
son, and others of no less prominence.
The first article by Dr. Alain
Locke, Howard University professor
author Of The New Negro, discusses
Negro poetry, its types, its trends,
its leaders. He has classified Negro
poetry into five distinct groups: first
that portraying folk lore by its
idiom of thought and speech; second
that concerning itself with race tem
perament; third, that dealing with
the racialist trend almost equivalent
to a nationalist movement; fourth,
that dealing with a' philosophy of life
brought about by racial experiences;
fifth, poems ?of social protest. On
the brows of Hughes and Cullen he
has tacitly .placed the well earned
laurels of leadership in their separate
fields.
