here. '
Much has been done by the Senior
Order of Daviens to interest prosper
tive students in the University. When
prospective students come here to at
tend a track meet, however, the res
ponsibility shifts. ' It becomes a mat
ter for the individual Carolina men
to promote by taking an active inter
est and by co-operating with those
who have been delegated to take
charge of the affair. Surely here is
an opportunity for the student 'body
to do a very jeal service for the Uni
versity. - -

PARAGE APHICS
At last the Open Forum columns
have something to talk about runfor
tunately. . - . '
And the newspapers. have something
to display upon their front pages
under scare headlines also unfortunately.
When Tar Heel headlines declare
that "House Will Talk," we are al
most persuaded to believe either in
fairy stories or else in modern mira-
cles of mechanical power.
After seeing Miss Ronny Johans
son's delightful dance recital last
night, we know why Sweden is so
much better than Denmark for Swe
den produces the charming Miss Jo
hansson and as for Denmark, why
there is only the old story of "some
thing rotten in -Denmark!"
Miss Johansson says that she pre
fers Chapel Hill to New York "be
cause it smells so much better!" And
the village scores again.
Graduation Week is scheduled for
the first appearance of the daily Tar
HEEL--two Commencements in one,
as it were!
An Opportunity
For Service
The Third Annual Track and Field
Meet for Southern Preparatory
Schools which will take place Satur
day afternoon on Emerson Field will
attract the highest type of secondary
school athletes. Participants will be
here from all parts of the South.
Many, in all probability, intend to
continue their activities, academic as
well as athletic, in, some college or
university next fall. The impression
which Carolina makes on them at
1 this time will certainly be a large
factor in determining whether they
matriculate here or at som? other
school.
A few weeks ago the Tar Heel,
through its editorial columns, request
ed the co-operation of the student
body in entertaining the debaters and
trackmen in Chapel Hill for the an
nual High School Week. Whether or
not there was co-operation will be
shown by next year's entrance record.
The meet to be held Saturday is no
less important than the high school
meet. It is essential to parolina that
the finest quality of both high school
and preparatory school material enter

EDITORS EXPLAIN APOLOGIES
To the Student Body:
It seems that an entirely false In
terpretation has been placed upon the
apologies which we made in Tuesday's
Tar Heel to the student Tjody in regard
to the Yellow Journal.
It was our intention in these
apologies merely to convey to the stu
dents our regrets for having partici
pated to some extent in the affair in
view of the fact that we were elected
by the student body to campus offices.
Our statements were not directed to
ward the removal of any share of
our; guilt. Although we realize that
this year's Yellow Journal had no
place on the University campus, we
did not apologize to individuals, and
to the student body only in regard to
our relationship to them as editor and
editor-elect of the Tar Heel and The
Carolina Magazine respectively.
GLENN HOLDER
JOHN MEBANE
FAVORS BOOKER PLAN
To the Editor:
The substitution of the Booker plan
of student government for the present
form has been discussed for so long
a time and at such length that about
all anyone can say concerning the
matter would only be a repetition of
what has already been said. There
are, however, certain facts which need
yet to be emphasized.
One of the main arguments which
those opposed to any change in the
present .form of student government
at Carolina bring forward is that the
present form is well enough and well
enough should be left alone. If the
present form of student government
is well enough, this would be the
wrong attitude to take, for such an at
titude is not only conducive to indif
ference to reform, but is in the end
conducive to a state of unconcern for
the success of the existing form.
But I contend that the present form
of student government at Carolina is
not well enough. Who would say that
the present representation is fair?
Only a very small number of offenses,
especially cheating and drinking, are
ever tried under the present form.
"But," say admirers of the present
form of government, "it is the duty of
every member of the student body to
report offenses." Do they do it, may I
ask? "We are free," they say, "to
consider the circumstances under
which an offense is committed." That
is just the trouble now. The same
relationship would exist between some
students should they be brought be
fore the student council, that exists
between a millionaire and a poor man
before our courts. The Booker plan
would abolish the situation, for,
should it be adopted, a code of laws
will be drawn up which will be the
same for Tom as they are for Harry.
After all, crime is crime.
"But," say those opposed to any
change in student government, "the
proposed plan will be too cumber
some." It will be just as cumber
som as the student body makes it
no more, no less.

K. C. Frazier Talks
To Frosh Council
K. C. Frazier, Professor in the de
partment of history, spoke to the
Freshman Friendship Council Mon
day night. The other cabinets of the
Y were present as guests of the
Freshmen.
Prof, Frazier chose as his subject
"Anglo-American Relations." He
discussed the recent sinking of the
"I'm Alone," a Canadain rum-runner
that was shot by the U. S. rum cut
ter off the coast of Florida. This was
a very delicate matter to handle in
the diplomatic circles.
Canada and America have , become
an example of how friendly nations
can get along without disputes and
hard-feeling. The recent occurance
illustrates how two great powers can
settle their questions by arbitration.
After the speech a short discussion
group was held with Mr. Frazier
answering questions about diplomatic
relations.
Dear Liz,
I certainly was mistaken bout
these Carolina boys being so static.
Last week; I told you that everything
here was as dead as hell. Well, it was
then, or, it seemed to be. But, of
course, me being a sophomore, I don't
get all that's going on, especially these
undercurrent workings of the politi
cal machines and frame-ups. But
everybody knows all about the tap
pings of the Golden Fleas and the
Gilded Fuzz according - to nature,
fuzz is "absolutely necessary for the
well-being of the Sarcapsyllidae
family and "conditions1 were ripe this
week-end for everybody was prospect
ing and doing a little biting. I'll tell
you when these Carolina boys decide
to let the1 world know about something,
they put over two or three big things
all at once so as there'll be plenty of
publicity in the newspapers for the
folks back home.
Now, the Golden Fleas thought they
needed some fresh blood, so they went
out in primitive fashion and took their
mates. Ed Hutchins perf ormed a re
markable "feat by jumping clear over
the heads of five men seated in a row,
knocking the sixth man cold trying to
reach Glenn Holder, the seventh man
on the bench, even after the Governor
had declared in his eulogy that Old
Memorial was "heavily charged with
an intellectual atmosphere of the
Golden Fleece."
It was a weird affair this tapping
over at Memorial Hall. AH the cam
pus straggled in nonchalantly as
usual, including those who were sure
of being tapped. There was Johnny
Henderson who is said to have brought
along a bunch of graduate students
to protect him, in case of emergency;
there wag another armed with a
fierce grin; a small group of wistful
looking co-eds took the back r.ow, hop
ing to at least get a few words of the
Governor's speech perhaps the Gold
en Fleas had become more democratic
and might take in a few members of
the female sex; a sour individual back
of me murmured that the Golden Fleas
should petition the Kappa Beta Phi's
next year.
The Governor opened the affair
with such catching gusto that the
Golden Fleas fell for it and tapped
him right off the bat. Doctor House
rose to told all the secrets of the orga
nization: how Jason, the father of the
club, had chased down the wooly fleece
and that, even to this day, Carolina
men were still running their tongues
out on a drag hunt.
Everything was as quiet as the
night before Christmas when two
hooded figures, Ed Hutchins and
Charlie Waddell, like two gigantic,
black tom-cats, pounced on ten mouse
like victims. The tapping ended and
the kluckers faded into the night,
leaving ten glad hearts to be con
gratulated. Now it's your time to tell me some
thing bout N. C.
With love,
Mack.
Duke Boy Dies of
Injuries Received
In Accident Here
Luther Haywood, a former Duke
University student, died early Tues
day morning from injuries received
in an auto crash on the outskirts of
Chapel Hill Monday morning. Hay
wood, in company with M. K. Lewis,
also a Duke student, Mrs. O. S. Alex
ander, and her niece, Miss Pearl Alex
ander were returning from Pembroke
and had passed through the business
district of Chapel Hill, when the car,
driven by Haywood, failed to make a
curve and crashed into a stone wall.
Haywood's leg was broken and an
artery ruptured, which necessitated
amputation of the leg. He was given
a series of blood transfusions, but he
was injured so seriously that he
never rallied from the shock.
Lewis received a fractured vertebra
and acid burns about the face, which
will keep him in the hospital for
several weeks. Mrs. Alexander and
her niece received no injuries, al
though badly shaken up. Miss Alex
ander is a Duke student, and Mrs.
Alexander conducts a boarding house
where the two boys were staying.

Native Weaving Is
Theme of Talk Here
Illustrating her talk with speci
mens of finished products and movie
slides showing processes of weaving,
Miss Lucy Morgan, director of the
fireside industries of the Appala
chian School at Penland, gave an in
teresting lecture here at the Univer
sity last week on "Native Weaving in
North Carolina."
The lecture was given in the Caro
lina Playmakers Theatre and was
well attended. The Playmakers,
builders of native folk drama, are
very much interested in all forms of
native art. Last year they brought
the famous Jugtown pottery makers
to Chapel Hill. Already for next
year Director Frederick H. Koch has
invited the Tryon toy makers and
wood carvers to come and give a show
ing of their work.
Two new galvanized iron letters
have been "placed over the entrance
to the Smith Building, to take the
places of the B and D in the name
that have been missing for some time.
