Saturday October 27, 1928 - PARAGRAPHICS The straw, ballot turned out to be just like the telephone directories the name of Smith won out. - If Al is so efficient in winning the straw votes, maybe his farm relief policy will rope in the hay voters of the West. We have always heard a lot about technicalities; but never saw any real live ones. This ; afternoon's game with' Tech may provide the occasion. The stark realism of the first issue of the Carolina Magazine reminds us of a certain line of poetry which goes like this: "Life is real, life is earn est." ' , American universities are assum ed to be democratic, but the recent unhorsing accident which occurred here reminds us painfully of the Prince of Wales. And now the Band decides to take up a free will offering to provide for suitable uniforms. 'The main ques tion, as we see it, is will there be any offering. We've just been wondering whether there is any connection between the exhibit of oil paintings at the Grad uate Building and the recent Repub lican and Democratic political speech es? Placards for last night's pep meet ing announced: "Mr. Frank Graham Singing, Dancing, Yelling." But af ter going just to hear Mr. Graham's songs and to see his dances, we dis covered that there must have been a mistake somewhere. ' . But as we have said before, even bands must be clothed. And when Johnnie Booker himself joins in the appeal for uniforms, something real ly must be done. Perhaps nice Vic torian costumes would be appreciat ed! - - v.': - A CHILD OF THE CAMPUS well-known authors, he can, readily I en tn Hamrs. the At.iafit.iiP Mnnthlv or the American Mercury. Or if he wants True Confessions or Weird Stories, they may be found at any bookstand. We look to the Carolina Magazine for Carolina work, and this year we find what we The Tar Heel extends it congratula tions to a fellow publication and to its capable editor for bringing forth a true child of the campus in pref erence to aliterary bastard. SITTING m When the process of acquiring a college education becomes nothing more than getting off a certain num ber of required courses, something is the matter. This three-courses- per-quarter system may indeed be the most practical, one to employ, but it is interestingand illuminating to take note of 'what s the individual j student does with the extra hour 'in the morning schedule. If the vacant period comes at eight- thirty, there is no doubt as to how it is spent- brisk fall mornings in vite an extra hour's nap and that in vitation is seldom declined. If, how ever, a nine-thirty,: eleven or twelve o'clock class is not included upon the required routine of the day, valuable time is left open for the student to utilize to his best advantage. By re ferring to the printed schedule "of handed out on registration day, he can readily find certain courses which he would most probably 1 J J . 1 A ' axe very mucn to taKe dut. ior wmcn he does not find time or inclination to include in his work taken for cre dit. Hereupon the extra hour imme diately, finds its use; it may be. em ployed in "sitting in" on the course. Attendance will not be compulsory; work outside of class will not be de manded. But comparatively all of the benefits to be derived from the particular course will be conferred upon the student who catches class during that bne free hour of the morning. N ' "Sitting in" most assuredly has its advantages and is well wojrth a trial, The results will be surprising; in deed it is really "astonishing how much can be picked up by the utiliza tion of an extra class period. GRADY'S BLUFF IS CALLED The first issue of the Carolina Magazine under the guidance of Edi tor Marshall has arrived. Any first number is eagerly looked for and is usually accepted as a sample of the editor's ability. In it he proclaims his policy and shows the campus just 'what he expects to do with his ward throughout the year-even though wards, and especially literary wards, too often prove intractable. Pages of the Magazine, declares the editorial gazer in the Pasture, are open "equally to the undergraduate, the graduate, and the faculty mem ber." It is with a great deal of sat isfaction that we note this present trend of Magazine policy, that of maintaining the Magazine as a me dium of expression for . the literary endeavors of Carolina amateurs rath er than extending it to include . the work of recognized writers from off the campus. . " When one desires to read the work of Countee Cullen, Elizabeth M. Roberts, H. L. Mencken or any other heard Paul Whiteman's Band last Friday night and that which attend ed the excellent concert of the George Barrere Little .Symphony Orchestra n Memorial Hall Wednesday eve ning. - About two hundred persons, not more than twenty-five or fifty of whom were students, heard the Bar rere Concert, while around two thou sand were auditors of Whiteman's efforts. This cannot be taken to in dicate that students cannot appre ciate music of the calibre presented by Barrere, however, as the most un tutored of musical laymen could have appreciated and enjoyed the concert of the genial Frenchman and his mu sicians. A dollar makes a great deal of difference to the average Carolina student, especially when the buck is to be expended for classical music We daresay that if the two thou sand who heard Whiteman had also listened to the Barf ere concert a large percentage of them would have fav ored the latter. If we may be per mitted to advance a suggestion to the Student - Entertainment ' Committee, an attraction of the Barrere variety would not be at all out of place on the Entertainment Program for this year, which is notably lacking in any variety for classical music. GLENN HOLDER OPEN FORUM ATTENTION FRESHMEN The freshman class will form in front of Memorial hall at a quarter of two instead of two o'clock and will attend the game in a body. ' All members are lugcu w ire prcscm uu nuie with their vocal cords in good condition. They will play a vital part in deciding today's game. V IT GRATES ON THE EAR Again the Athletic Association struts its stuff. In bygone student generations the organization of the athletes frequently wielded a mailed fist in campus affairs, but in recent years it has attempted very little in the way of student coercion until this fall. Grady s Pritchard's edict that all Freshmen must wear white pants and cavort about in a special cheering section at all games smacks strongly of a pronunciamiento of the old aristocracy of the athletes, how ever. . . ' ' " In justice to Grady, it must be said that he permitted a few fresh men to exchange the white cards is sued them in lieu of the regulation coupon books for reserved seat tick ets to- today's game. But the fact remains, as attested to by Cheerlead er Bill Chandler and numerous fresh men, that Pritchard declared at a freshman class meeting that all first year men must sit ' in the special cheering section or buy reserved seat tickets at two dollars per. Most of the small minority who pre fer to sit elsewhere "than in the cheer ing section with relatives or friends, or who simply do not desire to parti cipate in the antics of their yelling brethren,, lacked the moral stamina to demand reserved seat tickets to today's game,-after Pritchard's posi tive assertion that such a procedure would not be permitted. ' It is highly deplorable that such an assertion was ever made. Freshmen pay their ath letic fees just as anyone else, and they have an undeniable right to the same seating privileges as upper classmen. The plan of a freshman cheering section is in itself highly commenda ble so. long as it is not made compul sory, but as it was presented to the class it is an entirely different mat ter. - . Cheerleader Chandler stated in an Open Forum letter in 'the last issue of the Tar ieeZ that he, Dean Brad shaw and Grady Pritchard were the promulgators of the plan. " Yester day Dean Bradshaw denied any re sponsibility for the proposal other than a statement that it met his ap proval so long as it was not made compulsory. Bill Chandler says that it is not his brain child, especially in so far as compulsion is concerned. Grady Pritchard is thus saddled with the whole responsibility of the plan, as far as , any statement as to com pulsion's concerned. But Grady's bluff has been called, and freshmen may defy his edict with perfect impunity if they please. --GLENN HOLDER MUSICAL MYOPIA Editor of The Tar Heel: Midst all the controversy in regard to the Freshmen Cheerios no one has mentioned the disgraceful "cussing" of some few members, who seem to believe that the only, way they can show their fighting spirit is by vile ness. No one objects to an occasional, "Hell" or "Damn" but there are many of us who do seriously object to the use of vile, obscene or profane language and to the hurling of blas phemous epithets at the players on the opposing team. Such conduct is certainly not a demonstration of the "Carolina Spirit." McB. FLEMING-JONES BILL IS DEFENDED Di Meyer' to Speak The committee on leadership of the local Boy Scouts, under the direc tion of Rev Wilson Woodcock, has secured the-services of Dr. Harold D. Meyer, "professor of sociology at ; the University, to speak at the opening session of the course in boy leader ship which will open Tuesday, Octo ber SO. - . . Dr. Meyer is interested in the school of public welfare here, and has made an extensive study of boyhood in the south. He was instrumental in bringing to Chapel Hill in 1925 the patrol leaders' training course, which was the first of its kind ever to be held in the country. He has spoken on numerous occasions on this subject throughout North Carolina but this will be his second appear ance in Greensboro. This course in boy leadership, which is part of the extensive campaign of the local Boy Scouts, will consist of six weekly sessions, the first of which will be at a dinner at Hhe King Cot- f ton hotel Tuesday evening at 6:30 o'clock. It will be attended by pres ent and prospective scoutmasters, but is open to anyone interested in boys' work. Applications for enrollment may be had by calling by Boy Scout headquarters in the Guilford county courthouse. That the jazz age is not a thing of the past is amply indicated by the contrast between the crowd that To The Student, Body: I would like to put in a few words in defense of Bill Chandler, our hard working cheerleader) who has come in for some unjustified criticism on the part of some obviously ignorant individuals, who have not taken the time to investigate the facts, but rush into print, I suppose for the sake of publicity. In the first place no Freshman Js required to sit in the cheering sec tion, if his parents of friends are vis iting him, he can secure a ticket at any place in the stadium that suits his fancy. And in the second place, if any per sons have a Criticism to make, or hon estly desire a change made because they think that the rights of the Freshman are being trampled . on, why not see what can be done about it by conferring with the able, and just men who are leaders of the mat ter in controversy, instead of spout ing off and causing dissension among the students. What we want is a solid :front on the cheering, not petty bickering as to who shall sit in which seats to gratify the vanity of some of the campus demigogues. TAYLOR BLEDSOE Smith Is Favorite at Duke University Duke University, OctT 24.-vThe re cent Chronicle straw vote indicated that a small majority of the Duke stu dents favor Smith for president. The Smith club will challenge the anti Smithites to a jojnt debate sometime in the very near future. It is rumor ed that the anti-Smith men have a club in the process of organization. Mrs. Palmer Jerman and Miss Nell Battle Lewis will have the possibili ties of winning the votes of Duke stu dents for Smith when they speak in the city on October 11. Students will be afforded ample op portunities to meet and discuss the merits of their respective candidates. Due to the intense interest ' , in the presidential campaign, it is believed by the organizers of the Smith club that many members of the student body will affiliate themselves with the local political movement. There is nothing which will stimulate thought more than serious vocal tilts, and it is con tended tha those who will take an active interest in the organization will be well rewarded for their ef forts. The recent student presidential poll revealed that the majority of Duke students are for Al Smith, "honest, able and fearless." - It is thought, however, that Smith has gained many adherents since the day of the straw' vote, and that if such a cbntast were y u-lat tho r;e;:.ubliean nominee.
