PARAGRAPHICS
'Now that aerial bumming has been
so successfully inaugurated, perhaps
the customary holiday congestion of
highways will be somewhat relieved.
And if this hold-up and robbery on
the highway between t Durham and
Chapel Hill -continues, the pleasant
pastime of bumming may be done
away with entirely. , . . '
. Tickets are" being sold for the Co-
ed basketball game Friday night
"for the purpose of raising money ,to
buy uniforms." and until" that mon
ey is raised there is sure to "be a record-breaking
crowd in attendance !
plaining in detail how the money is
spent. - " . ,
We advocate, the filing of an item
ized account of all receipts and ex
penditures of student money during
each year. This account might - be
handed to the president of the stu-;
dent body every spring and sub

dents through the colums of the stu
dent newspaper. - 'V
We are loyal in our support of the
Publications Union Board, the Stu
dent Council, the Athletic Associa
tion, the Y.M.C.A., the Entertain
ment Committee, and .the respective
.class officers; but we believe that
these organizations have not discharg

dent body until they have made pub

THE REVIEWER IS CRITICIZED
Since the Buccaneer has found it
possible to combine humor and clean
liness, what will the campus find to
argue about? - "
As a gentle reminder of an obliga
tion assumed but not . redeemed,' we
should like to suggest that the Alum
ni hold their next meeting in the un
finished Graham Memorial Building,
Where Does
Our Money Go?
Money comes and money goes, but
mostly goes and the question which,
bothers us is this: What is the des
tination of the ' hard-earned, hard
begged or hard-borrowed cash which
we spend here for the various stu
dent fees?
l
Not that we disapprove, of fees.
Far from it. " In fact,' we are heartily
in accord with the system in use at
the University, which assures us
maximum returns for minimum in
vestment. We believe that the publication fee
makes possible the production of big
ger and better publications at
nominal cost. We do not doubt that
the average student gets his monev'r
worth from the. fee paid in to the
Athletic -Association. We consider
the student government fee necessary
end proper for the -intelligent ad
ministration of student affairs. We
deem the entertainment fee a thing
6"f excellence. And the Y.M.C.A. con
tribution we place in the same cate
- gory although it is not collected as
a part of the University bill. Uor
do we quarrel with the class fees
banquets must be paid for somehow.
Granted that "all these fees have
their legitimate place in the student
budget, there still remains the mat
ter of accounting for their expendi
ture If the students are to lend
financial support to these various
campus activities, then a report
Ehould be made to the students ex-
Editor of the Tar . Heel: ' ' - . .
After 'the?' contfbyersy ;which ap
peared in these : columns I : had hoped
that the ground for a critical per
spective had been cleared. 1 had
hoped that the function of the critic
would be. more clearly defined.
If Mr. ilebanels view of the Caro
lina Magazine". may. be taken as an
indication of the-plight into which
criticism has fallen on this" campus,
then .surely 'something must be - said
in its behalf. For Mr. Mebane, al
though he assumes the, xole of critic,
prefers to be witty rather-thah criti
cal and the result is a column of
dreary platitudes with vague attempts
at pleasantry that are in the worst
taste imaginable.
Reviewing Mr. Mitchell's sketch
"Tobacco Market," a really sound and
competent piece of prose, Mr. Mebane
tells us that it is "excellent," that it
is "all realism," and goes on to say
that he does not care to become a
tobacco farmer, a fact which may be
interesting in its way but which is ir
revelant to a criticism of Mr. Mit
chell's article. ; '
. Writing of Mr. McCone's poem,-the
reviewer says, "It isn't bad. It is
merely unfortunate that it is a poem.
What does this mean? ,We might en
joy the pronouncement if we under
stood it. But Mr. Mebane does not
believe it necessary to enlighten us.
v I have made a list of the descrip
tive terms used by Mr. Mebane. Here
they are. Let them speak for them
selves:
"Not half bad." . v- ; ; y
"Not bad." '
"Excellent."
"Cracking good."
"Pornographic."
"The piece is well constructed and
nearly a lithe sentences are good.'"
Nearly all the sentences are good ! j
The phrase cries to heaven. It will
not do to Call names but certainly;
this is a sloppy work, and certainly
this is not criticism. ' Mr. Mitchell,
Mr. McCone, Mr.- MacKeller are all
groping. Will nobody make an effort
to see what they are trying to say?
Will nobody give them sympathetic
and serious criticism?

Bradshaw Speaks
v Oh Sportsmanship
At chapel yesterday morning Dean
Bradshaw made an appeal for good
sportsmanship " among the student
body at the Duke game to be played"
in Kenan Stadium Saturday after
noon. "Carolina has always had a
standard of absolute sportsmanship
and it. has pulled some of the other
schools' up to this standard," said Mr,
Bradshaw.
"There is a traditional feeling of
good sportsmanship between these two
schools which are such close neigh
bors,, and we should endeavor to con
tinue this spirit. The finest warfare
is carried out-with a spirit of respect
for the opponents, and we want to
think of this when the two teams go
out on the field Saturday."
Prof .Daggett Attends
Engineer's Gathering
- Prof. Parker H.v Daggett, head of
the Electrical Engineering Depart
ment of the University's School of
Engineering, has returned from Little
Rock, Ark,, where he attended the
meeting of National Council of the
Stae Board of Engineering Exam
iners. He made a final report on ac
credited schools as chairman of the
committee. Professor Daggett was
president, of the Council two years
ago. .
Now that the Thanksgiving tur
keys,, dances, and, necking parties
have become memory or history, we
are expecting to find the column of
Joe Jones being served at the vari
ous boarding houses in, and around
the limits of Chapel Hill until ye
merrie Yuletide season. A good
many of us have become accustomed
to the sight of turkey hash which
follows the feasting, but this hash
and mothball succotash is going to
be a hard one to hurdle at the local
pitch-and-win eating houses. - But,
regardless of all this, holidays are
wonderful experiences while they last
to everyone, even Tar Heel reporters.
Holidays are like silk stockings. They
start out in a walk, but end in a run.
Anyway there are only so many more
days in which to do your Christmas
shopping, and then more hash I
r Reform Waves
' Having been asked , several pertin
ent questions as to the why . of - a
colyumist venting his wrath to the
local newspaper literati and cognos
centi, we will attempt to answer
these burning issues of the day in
some sort of : an intelligible manner.
We are in favor of all reform move
ments whether they be good or bad.
The old order is constantly dying.
Since we are collegiate, we are very
fond of knocking at anything which
older and wiser heads have consider
ed to be in good - order. We are in
favor of wearing neither button
shoes nor red flannel underwear. ' We
heartily endorse the big collar move
ment the short companies are spon
soring, we want reiorm! lhis re
minds, us of a story concerning a
group of back-biters who were hold
ing a meeting one time. One -of the
ladies was waxing eloquent and .was
earnestly pleading for this or that
reform' When suddenly between yawns
a man shouted, "And let us also get
the chloroform!" That too, ' gentle
reader, is a part of our platform.
However -you may 'write : ;your ; own
ticket. ' - ''v:- ' :-
What! No More Pirates?
The strident figure of the Buccar
neer no longer seems te have that
sinister gleam which is his . distinc
tive mark of, recognition in. the one
good eye. The latest issue which
is just off the press appears to be
a very tame pirate. The "antis"
have- perhaps convinced him as to
how he should vote. The uplift ele
ment have had their inning against
the masterful hurling of Bill Perry.
His fast ball has lost some of its
hop. No good pitcher may be found
even in the big leagues who does not
have his off days. So there will be
another chance for the Buccaneer
team to . stage a come-back against
the opposition. However, Editor
Perry and his staff are to be con
gratulated for issuing a real humor-
ous number to offset some of the pro
saic' ones which have been put out
in the past. The humor ; for once
smacks of the adult type. Con
gratulations, Mr. Perry, you have
made Judge seem not to be such a
wonderful piece of work after all.
But be careful, Bill, or the Grail or
the Gilded Fuzz will rap on your
shoulder next . spring. . '
' V Wanted and Needed .
The campus seems to be agog over
the - necessity of various and sundry
changes. The freshmen want their
Sunday mail, the literati and the dra
matic critics want the scalp of Joe
Mitchell, the , sophomores want the,
privilege of cutting chapel s more of
ten, the co-eds want more gallantry
in their male friends and heavier
dates, ' and the. whole " student body
wants the football team to lick .Duke;
However this column would like to
have the home-brew divorced from
its 'ether and other ingredients en
tirely non-essential to its kick. We
might join in and say with former
Vice-President Marshall that -what
this country needs most is a goo'd
nickel "cigar. ' The uplift movement
has taken hold of us too. If you dor
not believe it, then you are at liberty
to read, this pure verse we have just
written. Try this on your harmonica.

electric welding.
The struaural steel worker is
dropping his clattering ham
mer for the electric arc. Silently,
swiftly, rigidly, economically,
buildings are being fabricated
by electric welding, which knits
steel with joints as strong as
the metal itself.
Building silently! Nothing
