Merrell Tuesday, December 11, 1928 A Rhodes Scholar For the University After an intermissioiT-of : several years the highly-prized Rhodes Scholarship is again bestowed 'upon a Carolina 'man. !t is indeed srrati fyirig that such an honor come to a representative of the Univef sity, and we know of no man more worthy to be the recipient-than the president of our" student body, ; Ed Hudgins -has fully demonstrat ed his qualities of leadership, his scholarship, his personality, his gen eral all-round ability, and his keen in terest in the welfare of the campus during five years of active participa tion in the various activities of the University. The intelligent, insight and prompt efficiency with which he has handled the, complexities of stu dent affairs in his position as student body president mark him as a man who will capably serve as a represen tative of his school in a foreign coun try. The student body of the University of North Carolina, may well rest as- sured that the new Rhodes Scholar will reflect only credit upon his in stitution and upon his native state. sort of creature, ever reaady to agree with the most flagrant untruth and acclaim the most insipid of observa tions. He becomes a professional dumber, to quote Ring Lardner. ? I Glenn Holder, - y - When the ' Snoopers Snoop J There is something decidedly wrong somewhere when revenue officers must descend to the practice of snoop ing, of representing themselves as something other than what they are, in short, of imitating the worst of the dime, novel school of detectives. ' The blue noses over the state are up in arms. Led by the Reverend Da.vid Hepburn, Superintendent of the Virginia Anti-Saloon League, they are out in force to stamp out the evil of drink in Southern colleges, an evil which apparently, has sprung up over night.' ' - ' ' "' : . - .': ' Having made the charges, the loyal followers of Carrie Nation must f jnd something to prove them true. Per haps it is unfair, to rank them with Carrie Nation She at least wielded her axe courageously and in public. The modern prohibitionists must use underhand methods, and even then they cannot achieve their ends. , The students of this University are as law-abiding as any , similar com munity anywhere within the confines of this nation. Respect for the govern ment, for the law and order, is in stilled intv them and , kept there by the professors and the curriculum. But the work of years is easily up rooted and overthrown by one such incident as the recent case of the revenue officer who misrepresented himself and imposed upon a number of students for the sole "purpose of collecting a bit of evidence against a bootlegger. - We can only hope that the officer acted upon his own. initiative, and not at the instance of the government, If the Anti-Saloon League put him on the trail, then they have most cer tainly come out at the wrong end of the rope. They have not proved their charges of excessive drinking, and they have made themselves ri diculous by the failure of the attempt and the meanness of the method. The revenue officer," says the report, has stated his intention of returning to the Hill. Let him come.- We shall be interested in his next exhibition. - H. J. G. peice .. (his new word) of copy con tributed." It is true that the. range of my selective process in gathering copy sufficient for ah isue of The Magazine is not as wide as- I should like; yet there was one contribu tion to the November book' which the exigencies of this dolorous literary situation did .not- force me to print. write of a poem by Mr. J.- J. B. Brooks. : V ; release . . ; Dark thoughts go flapping through my mind Like birds in. drizzling rain. A buzzing bee drones wearily Against the window pane. He beats the pane; I battle life What are -dre fighting for? - - . Poor fools! The' window's wide below; The pistols in the drawer. (Is 'it necessary to point ojit the missing apostrophe of the contracted subject and verb in the last line, despite its unusual inclusion in the penultimate?) V About the. poem, however nor is that all: I suggest that the pistol might be used by this world-weary soul ; in ridding himself of l the bee; and then then . there is he window. The point is this. I strongly resent Mr. Brooks' denomination of Mitchell's sketch Tobacco Market as an insin cere attempt at realism. The piece is competent, the observation ' close, correct, and above all is the intent true and sincere. I ask anyone only to compare it with the self -piteous sentirnentalisiri of the poem I have included from the writings of Mr. Brooks-. Just at this moment I clear ly remember a panegyric- uttered by Dr. J. M. Booker upon reading Tobacco Market, and Dr. Booker is a teacher of romantic literature whose taste I both respect and know to be highly critical of Realism. This I write only and merely-in defense of my contributors. The Magazine can be no, better than their writings. Beauty, Art and originality may not be the characteristics of these writings, but I, better than any other on this campus, know the sin cerity and honesty of purpose of The Magazine contributors. -Sincerely yours, .

The University. Glee Club gave as its concluding concert on its fall trip a concert, on Friday, night at the North Carolina ' College for Women. The club was invited to the sister institution by the Madrigal Club, an organization" having as its primary purpose the bringing of the nation's mostoutstanaing musical organiza tions to that campus. The concert was held in the new auditorium of the college, and a reception was held im. mediately afterwards for the visitors in the Music , Building; A large number of people were present at the concert, and all were welj pleased at the performance. Critics reviewed their appearance as being perfect in every detail, and all criticisms were commendatory to the Glee Club. The program rendered by the Club was as follows: "Reaper's Song," Bohemian, ar ranged Davison. v "River, River," Chilean, arranged Zoltai. - "Song of the Volga Boatmen," Rus sian, arranged Weaver. "Hospodie Poilui,? Lvovsky-Weaver, "Credo," Gretehaninoff. 'In Dulci Jubilo," Ancient German Carol. . ? . . "Carol of the Flowers," Basque, ar ranged Weaver. , Bring a Torch, Jeannette,' Isa bella," Old French Carol. , "Now Let Every Tonsrue Adore Thee,'; Bach. . "Beautiful Savior," Christiansen. "Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones," Davison. V ' "-" "A Plainsmen's Song," Bliss A group of negro songs, arranged by Professor Weaver were also fea tured on the program, as, well as a number of Solos by Wesley Griswold, student soloist in. the Club.

It is unquestionably taue that many a Phi Beta, Kappa key has been won and many a flunk avoided by wily flattery and skillful ingratiation, andvmany students here are past masters at the practice. Professors, like everyone else, . are susceptible to .flattering words and a pleasing personality. A great many . students take advantage of that fact to wheedle undeserved grades from unwary instructors. Sometimes this practice becomes a habit, and an in veterate booter developes. And of all the varied types of obnoxious campus - personalities, the habitual booter is the most disgusting. He agrees vo ciferously with even the most inane statements of his prof essors, and his every act on class and in the presence of a faculty man is prompted by his overpowering desire to insinuate himself into the good graces of the instructor. . But if this process of mental bow ing and scraping were confined to the hooter's relations with faculty men alone, it would be bearable, at least.

B. de sires to "hint" that I would , accept contributions from others than the regular contributors with "a gasp of astonishment and a hurried outpour ing of thanks before any attention whatsoever were paid to its content." I am not entirely without emotive susceptibility, but I, fail to recall (and mnemonics are jever my sad com panions) any incident of my career to which I reacted in the manner sug- service. It was two weeks between the laundry delivery before and after Thanksgiving. Naturally, my clean, clothes would run pretty Jow over the holidays especially since there werj so many things going on at that time., My clothes were supposed to be re turned Thursday. This , is Sunday and I am out of shirts, handkerchiefs and other articles of wearing ap parel necessary to both my comfort andmy self respect. ' I imagine my laundry will get back tomorrow. If it doesn't I don't know what I'll" do because my roommate's collars are too big for me. That's not my only kick either, a lot of my shirts, sheets and so forth have, little splits oh them which they1 didn't have when they were Sent in to the laundry. . They say the laundry is cheap, how do I know? I have never seen a price list, and don't know where to 'get one. I suppose I might get one if I went out to the Laundry and asked for one. All I know about the Laundry is that my deposit has run out three times. Maybe l wear too many clean, clothes, but I don't think so. There was a laundry-delivery just before the. holidays which I didn't mention at the beginning of this letter. Very few people took advantage of it. I didn't because I had plenty of clothes to last for two weeks, but I would have taken advantage ofit.;if I had . known what I do now about the delay that occurred in my laundry.
