ested in this man who has caught the
fancy of a country, and who is per
haps its' most 'famous man-of-the-mo-
ment. ' The crowd was enthusiastic,
large. But few Carolina boys were
present, and fewer instructors and
professors.
Many, of course, had classes or
other business which demanded their
attention and presence in Chapel Hill.
The others merely displayed a
lack of interest. They will doubtless,
in common with the rest of thinking
America, discuss the Brown Derby for
hours on end. But once the famous
hat and its genial wearer has been
glimpsed, the mental attitude of the
beholder is inevitably changed. He
feels thenceforth as if he knows Al,
well enough to vote for or against
him. - . -
The point-of the matter is that we
are' too inclined to vent our enthusi
asm in talk, and let our healthy curi
osity 'go hang. The mountain comes
to Mohammed, and, we do not stir out
of our chairs to greet it. We are
University men and women. We are,
or should be, interested in current af
fairs. Don't let George, or Georgette,
do it. ' See what is going, on for your

Dear Editor:

PARAGRAPHICS
This annual trimming of the trees
around the campus makes us wonder
why there isn't a similar pruning of
the student body. It might help.
In-his address yesterday Robert
Latham termed the University of
North Carolina the "spiritual dynamo
of the South." Our only objection to
such, a metaphor ; is the known fre
quency of engine trouble.
With the Pi Beta Phis and Chi
Omegas using Gorgon's Head Lodge
so constantly during rushing season,
that Gorgon's Head, so famed
in story and fable will prob
ably soon be replaced by 'the beauti
ful head of a Magazine-Cover-Coed !
Duke co-eds vote overwhelmingly
for Al Smith in their presidential
straw ballot. Does that prove that
they are wet, Tammany, Catholic, or
just plain old Democrats.
MORE STANZAS THAN ONE
Only upon such occasions as Uni
versity Day programs or Glee Club
concerts is the student body brought
to the realization that "Hark The
Sound" is a song of more than one
stanza. When the first stanza is
sung, all is well the whole assem
bly of students join in enthusiastical
ly. -Likewise the refrain is familiar
enough to be recognized and sung by
the body. That second stanza, how
ever, which begins ". 'Neath the oaks
thy sons true-hearted," . evidently
comes as a complete surprise to the
would be sineers. They are left
sneechless in bewilderment, while
the Glee Club carries on.
After all, when wehave an entire
song for the University, why not use
it in its entirety often enough for
all students to have J more than i
passing acquaintance?
LET THE GREEN GRASS GROW
Now that certain sections of the
campus have been newly reclaimed
from uiisightliness and planted in
grass, it is fitting that one added
Dlea be made to past ones let the
grass have a chance to grow withou
being trampled underfoot as a sacri
f ice to the great-god-hurry.
Two spots in particular have long
been an eyesbre about the campus
and are now in a critical moment o:
reclamation. One is the space to the
right of Battle-Vance-and-Pettigrew
the other lies between Memoria
Hall and the Y. M. C. A. If the
young grass is given an opportunity
to seize upon life without too much
opposition from the late-to-classers.
it will soon bring new beauty where
only ugliness flourished before.
And m an era which dotes upon
Bociolojrical theories of giving the
underdog a fair chance to live, tha
"sense of fariness might surely be ex
tended to the helpless grass plots.
The Yackety Yack photographer
has been here since the first of Octo
ber making photographs for the 1929
Yackety Yack. As yet very little in
terest has , been shown by the . stu
dents, especially by the Juniors and
Seniors in making their appointments.
A few have made their appointments
and kept them, but the majority of
he, fellows .whohavevmade their, ap-
p ointments., have, been breaking them.
There., is no doubt in my mind that
some students can't understand why
we are making pictures earlier this
year than we didNlast, so I am taking
this method to give you some idea
as to what the reason is.
The agreement with the engraver
and printer, stated in the contract :i
his: "All copy and engravings to be
in the hands of The Queen .City
Printing Company not later than
March 15, 1929, shipment to be made
by May 15, 1929. All copy, material
and cuts for Senior section ,complet-
ed-by January 15, 1929. All copy,
material, and cuts for Junior section
completed by February 1,1929V'
Understand now that this copy, ma
terial, and cuts are to be in the hands
of the "printer," but before he is able
to get this material, the engraver
must make the plates. Therefore : it
is up to the . Student Body to cooper
ate with the Yackety Yack staff by
making their . appointments now.
Without their 'cooperation, the book
cannot be completed and delivered to
you before school is out in the spring,
No pictures will be made next
week, because of "rushing season
drawing to a close and everybody
will be rejoicing over the men they
pledged, but the - appointment boxes
at Sutton's and Patterson's will be
open during lunch and dinner hours,
for you to make your appointment.
A 50 cent deposit will be required on
every appointment made. This de
posit stakes care of part of the pho
tographer's fee which is $1.50. In
case a student does not keep his ap
pointment ' the deposit is forfeited.
In order to have all copy material
in on time, there will be no individual
pictures made after the 10th of De
cember. The photographer will be
herev every day from now until De
cember 10, with the exception of next
week, and every picture can be made
in this time if the students will co
operate with the Yackety Yack staff
and have their pictures made now.
Juniors and Seniors are paying for
their space through the business of
fice of the University; therefore, the
only money a student has to put ou
is the $1.50 which is the photogra
pher's fee.
I trust that every man will give
his hearty cooperation and help make
this book the best that Carolina has
ever put out.

GUY E. HILL
Business Mngr.
A smart alec who tries to be a
shining light" in most cases goes
through life that way. If he is like
that when he comes to college he will
probably go" through life in the same
manner, .and no upper classman need
think he can cure him by a letter
written only to cause some controversy.
How can a person get by in this
world if he does not ask questions? A
class instructor is the one to answer
your questions. He doesn't get mad
and angry at you if you ask ques
tions, but you seem to think he does.
A person may ask an insignificant
question because he doesn't know
any better. It is the policy of the
instructor to correct him and not
that of a post-graduate freshman, as
the author of the "Plea" appears to
be. A Freshman Class is supposed to
be made up of Freshmen and no up
per classmen are needed in it. They
are generally the ones that try to
shine.
We are here to get a little culture
and, learning and we fully realize it,
but not because there might be sev
eral "shining lights" in the Fresh
man Class, that is no reason why an
upper classman who is supposed to
have passed -the age of throwing in
sults aUpeople, should direct his plea
to all Freshmen.
Hereafter, Mr. Upperclassman,
turn your teachings and pleas to
wards your own classmates, and the
Freshmen will get along just the
same", if not better.
We thank you very much for your
seemingly good . advice, but advice
from a dean or an instructor is pref
erable.

Jinx Trails Paths
Of Carolina Mentors
Carolina's trip to Baltimore last
Saturday to defeat Maryland seemed
to prove a jinx for Carolina coaches.
Coach Chuck Collins was the vic
tim of a hotel thief who stole his
trousers, containing $55 and other
valuables. The trousers were re-
covered but not the money.
Yesterday afternoon Coach Rex En-
right's 23-month old daughter, Jean,
while playing in the yard, picked up
a bottle of "Fly-Tox" and drank "a
generous portion before her, terrified
mother could interfere.
The little girl was rushed to the
Infirmary and her stomach pumped
out. Speedy treatment caught ile
poison in time. The baby was re
turned home and from latest reports
will be able to scramble in the beloved
sandpile again today.
Orators To Meet
Dr. McKie at Once
Dr. McKie, executive secretary of
the debate council wishes to announce
that all men who have -signified their
intentions of entering the state ora
torical contest should confer with
him as soon as possible. The Citi
zen's Duty to Vote is the subject to
be used by all contestants. Each col
lege in North Carolina is permitted
to choose one man. An elimination
is to be held at some central town
about October 30, at; which five will
be chosen for the final contest at Ra
leigh on November 5.

Extension Circular Number Seven
ty-Eight, setting forth the regulations
governing the North Carolina High
School Football Championship Con
test for the season of 1928, has just
been published by the High School
Athletic Association under the direc
tion of the University Extension Di
vision. ;.
Nineteen rules have been drawn up
by the committee of the Association,
of which N. W. Walker is chairman
and E. R. Rankin secretary. Of chief
importance at this time, according to
a statement ; made yesterday by
Secretary Rankin, is Rule Two, which
is as follows:
"Any football, team representing
such a member high school, city or
rural, that is made up strictly of bona-
fide students all, of whom are eligible
to represent their school under the fol
lowing regulations shall be entitled
to enter the state high school football
championship series of 1928 provided
the faculty manager shall by October
27, 1928, apply to the committee for
entrance into the contest and shall
send individual entry blanks for all
of his players with ;the eligibility of
each player fully certified to in pro
per form by the superintendent or
high school principal. Individual en
try blanks which are to be used in
certifying players and giving their
records will be furnished by the com
mittee upon request." .
Preliminary competition is-at pres.
ent under way among high schools
over the state. The contest this year
bids fair to be an interesting one, as
several noteworthy teams have al
ready made their appearances on the
gridiron. Wilmington High School
was last year's champion, winning
over Greensboro High in the final
game which was staged 'in Kenan
memorial stadium.

Dear Editor: ' .
Your "Plea" of Thursday which
you so desired to reach the ear3 of
your cherished Freshman Class, has
reached some of us. Some take it as
a joke, and only think little of it, as
one should, while others consider it
mre or less of an kisitft.'
One must admit that there are
some smart alecs in all classes, in
upper classes as well as in Freshman
classes. There are those in the
Fresman, Sophomore, Junior, and
Senior classes that , try to shine;
therefore your plea should have been
addressed to all classes instead of to
your cherished Freshman Class, as
you' wish to call it.
The Republican faction of the stu
dent body with twenty-two men pres
ent met Thursday night in Saunders
Hall the first time this year for the
purpose of organizing 'the Hoover
element for the presidential straw
vote to be held on the campus in the
near future. '
Tom Rollins,' law student, was
unanimously elected president of the
club, and F. C. B. Harding was chos
en as secretary. No other officers
were selected. "
The Republicans will endeavor to
induce Senator Curtis, the vice-presi
dential nominee of the party, to visit
the University while in this section,
he being scheduled to speak in Ra
leigh Monday night. A special ef
fort will also be made to bring Sena,
tor Borah, and SeawelL Republican
candidate for governor here for
speeches prior to the election.
Aid is to be requested of the State
Republican Executive committee in
order to put up various sorts of ad
