Boger Saturday, March 9, 1929 PARAGRAPHICS With the exam schedule published again it's mighty hard to persuade ourselves that examinations .are still far off in the distant future! Jiut then xt winter exams are come, can spring elections be far be hind?.'; That reminds us we've been won dering whether this sudden epidemic of friendly speaking about the campus is for the purpose of creating a cheer- i ful frame of mind for exams or for elections. It is reported that a goodly number of Carolina's He and She's attended the performance at the Playmaker Theatre last night. ' Judging from the uproarious noises emanating from Memorial hall every night this week, the famous "Mum's The Word" is not so mum after all. ' We read somewhere other day that Durham, N. C. is soon to be known as a surburb of Duke University. But then of course both Duke and Durham have long been known as suberbs of the thriving city of Chapel Hill! 'V-v - A Man Is Known By The Path He Treads The latest improvement to the Campus Beautiful is the re-grassing of that . pitiful-looking, .. student-cut path from New Dorms diagonally across to Old East. Work by lazy feet on their tardy way to class or by careless feet in a vain hurry to go nowhere, that bare streak stretch ing across the main part of the cam pus has been a constant eyesore for months. Now at last it, too, has been given a new spring suit which time and students being willing will soon grow -green and grassy. At each end of the path stand small "Please Keep Off the Grass" signs, mutely pleading to each po tential short-cutter that he give the young grass at least a fighting chance for survival. - Dr.Coker. and his ground hands have done , their share; the grass has been planted and the path marked off. But whether this attempt can be successful depends upon the attitude of those who habi tually wear down paths where no paths should be. ' ; We all agree, no doubt, that such unsightly paths should not be manu facturedat least not by anyone else! The plea that just one person walking across the grass does not make a path is all very well in theory, but the cumulative walking of just such theorists is what destroys the beauty of our large grass plots. "This is a free , campus," we are proud of saying, "and 111 walk any where I please." Fine enough walk where you please; but let a -man be judged by the paths he treads. Let the man who has an interest Jn main taining a standard of beauty for the campus use the regular gravel walks -surely there are plenty of them. And let him who insists upon as serting his individuality and un limited freedom by destructive short- cutting stick to the paths whereon he feels at home and trudge across the campus in the newly scattered manure! - ' - ' The Alumnus , And the Athlete : With the University debating team discussing the question of the over emphasis of College Loyalty, with Harvard, there is r increased interest in the statements of President Wil liam W. Comfort of Haverford Col lege. "Wild-eyed alumni" are charged with being responsible for develop ing "this ridiculous over-emphasis on college athletics," in a recent address by Dr. Comfort. "Of all modern ab surdities in connection - with higher education, the greatest, is this bally- courages all those below professional ability from responding to the simple, human, wholesome instinct which ought to find expression in spontan eous sport for the sake of sport alone. It would be no more absurd to give scholastic graining only to fifteen or twenty of the best students who would engage in intellectual combat with representatives from Boulder while the other students paid two dol lars, shouted hoarsely, anddidn't un derstand half of what they knew about it. ' ' Denver Clarion Says "CoUegiate" No Longer Applies To College Boys Origin arid Originator of Word legiate Is Unknown. 'Col- A 1 i t .according xo a recent article in the Daily Trojan the word "collegi ate" is the most , misused word in the English language. It seems that no one knows for sure where this word originated or who originated it. The dictionary says "collegiate" means "of or pertaining to a college." 1- The Trojan, v declaring that the word no longer has this meaning, says:. " " "Nine-tenths of the people who have collegiate Fords, wear' collegiate clothes, and do collegiate dancing are not connected with a college in any way, and many of them never expect to have anything to do with them. How many .students' in this school have collegiate Fords with writing all over the body? How many stu dents are seen doing the varsity drag at a school dance? It is true that supposed collegiate clothes are worn hoo of athletic contests as stadium cndpnfs Vmf. this is Wnnsp thev spectacles and the adulation of col- pare the style arid are handled by all Ritchie To Address Lutheran Students lege athletes as heroes. Undergrad uates, I am glad to say, are more sen sible on the subject than their alum ni brothers." Not always is this true. Pep meet ings have been known to wield undue and unwholesome influences over undergraduates. Adulation in the ranks of the undergraduates is not entirely missing. But for some rea son, the further away from college a graduate gets, the more childish his attitude toward Alma Mater, gen erally becomes. A mist of sentiment clouds his vision, and the rah-rah spirit takes the place of cold com mon sense, coming to the surface most forcefully on the days when big games are played. The alumnus will gladly contribute his hard-earned shekels for the main tenance of an athletic star or so, or equipping a team with championship possibilities. But when it is a ques tion of contributing to a fund to in crease professor's salaries, or getting a needed building erected, there is another story to be told. The Carolina alumni are not im mune from these charges. Turn over the pages of the monthly Alumni Re view, and see how much space is ne cessarily given to the activities of the teams and elaborate cuts and lay outs of the captains and stars. There are few so foolish as to de cry the presence of athletics in the colleges. It js when they are over done nd other important things are neglected because of the sports that something must be said about it. Dr. Comfort said it. We need a greater measure of concentration on real problems and less , on athletics which are in a healthy state among our -alumni. , H. J. G. Clipped ' . ' t Commercialized Athletics We 'have indeed fallen upon sorry times when it becomes necessary to debate whether we shall ; have sport for all at a cost of about twenty-five dollars or sport for perhaps twenty at a cost of about twelve-hundred unavailable dollars. I, have never had the slightest sympathy with the prin ciple of vicarious exercise whereby I pay several dollars to watch nine men develop their physique. It is too bad that we cannot even play any longer except in terms of dollars and cents, stadiums and coaches, gridirons and diamonds and - victories. We take our organized athletics too seriously when it is considered how little they do for the non-participants who would much better be playing some where themselves than contracting rheumatism in a grandstand and getting fleeced to boot. Nine-tenths I of the students of this university are having the play side of their ' lives starved by the institution which dis- the clothing stores. It would be rather hard to find a suit with nar row pistol-leg breeches in a cloth ing store today. ' "To be really truthful about it, collegiate clothes are introduced by clothing manufacturers, - collegiate dances are given to the public by stag dancers and all collegiate Fords College students do not have a thing to do with the creation of these new fads, and hardly any of them have anything to do with the fads, but they are still given credit for these, ideas. Poteat Will Give An Organ Recital Sunday Afternoon As one of the outstanding features of the series of Sunday afternoon pro grams given at regular -'intervals throughout the quarter, Dr. Hubert McNeill Poteat will play an organ recital at the Chapel of the Cross to morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. The program will be by far the most fa miliar of any that has been presented here this quarter, and . the public is cordially invited to attend. It will in clude one of Dr. Poteat's own com positions, and will be presented as follows: Minuet ........

Dvorak Plans to Organize Scholarship F r at Are Underway at N.C. , Greensboro, Feb. 7. The recent publication of the names of 180 stu dents at North Carolina College who made the honor roll for the past semester by securing average grades of 90 or "better, has brought atten tion to the fact that there are six members of the senior class who have been on the honor grade list during their entire time in college. These -six seniors are Mary Alice Culp, of Gastonia, Lois Dorsett, Greensboro, Clara Guignard, of Lincolnton, Dorothy , Long, Tobacco ville, Elizabeth McCombs, Gastonia, and Elizabeth C. Smith, Greensboro. North Carolina College has no scholastic honor society as yet, but the announcement of the names of these six who have made honor grades for three years and a half of college work has brought a serious discussion of the desirability of forming an honor society group this spring and of admittting to it at the close of the spring semester all members of the junior class who have , made honor, grades for each of their three years. , It is pointed out that in course of time such an honor grade ' organiza tion would be the.basis for the estab lishment at the -college of a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the national scholarship1 fraternity, and that such a college organization is necessary before the national fraternity will consider the establishment of a chap ter at any college. The Kev. Ritchie, pastor of the Lu theran Church of Faith, North Caro lina, will deliver the weekly sermon in Gerrard hall tomorrow morning at 11.00 o'clock being sponsored by the University Lutheran Club. T.

I generally buy a one-pound tin and roll it up; and believe me, gentlemen, it is real tobacco. With best wishes from . Yours sincerely, Sam La Mert of the ; "" La Mert Brothers' Piano Novelty Act.

This year the Tar Heels defeated State in both their games and won the North Carolina title, but Carolina was defeated in the second game of the tournament and State went all the way.
