Prohibition On
The College Campus
According to persistent ru
mors about the campus, the
Chapel Hill bootlegger army
suffered heavy casualties during
the summer months. An exten
sive campaign by prohibition
agents is said to have depleted
the ranks of the whiskey dis
pensers materially.
A brief observation tour
through the business district or
past the fraternity houses dur
ing the late evening and early
morning hours will convince the
most optimistic of prohibition
's that' liquor is obtainable
within or near the village, how
ever. Reports indicate that the
dry agents , have functioned
very efficiently in this , section
during recent months, but their
task is well nigh hopeless. Their
efforts to kill the bootlegging
business in and around Chapel
Hill are about as efficacious as
an attempt to empty a well with
a sieve.
Prohibition has been a colos
sal failure in this country, as
millions of citizens realize. With
typically American hypocrisy
they vociferously champion the
18th amendment in public and
hurry home to receive their
favorite bootlegger on his reg
ular visit. In all probability
prohibition will continue indef
initely. The process of repeal
ing a constitutional amendment
is extremely complicated and
cumbersome, and it would be
-difficult indeed to persuade the
American public to admit re
sposibility for the ghastly blun
der that prohibition has proven
itself.
"Orange County cawn," no
toriously vile as it is, will con
tinue to be sold to University
students despite whatever pres
sure the prohibition men may
"bring to bear upon the bootleg
ging gents. Drinking has al
ways been prevalent among col
lege men, and there is every in
dication that it will continue.
A drastic change in the under
graduate attitude toward habi
tual drinking is perhaps the
only means of doing away with
. the liquor orgies which occur
frequently on nearly every col
lege campus. As long as whis
key drinking is considered an
accomplishment by collegians, it
will increase rather than .... de
crease among them. A decided
reaction . against,, drunkenness
would do more to decrease drink
ing on the Carolina campus
than an army of prohibition
agents. .
Behind the Smoke
Of the Smoker '
(H. J. G.)
The Senior Class, composed
of the oldest and presumably
wisest heads among the under
graduates of the University, an
nounces the holding of the first
smoker of the year, to be held
for get-together purposes.
Smokers, to those who have
never attended them, are somer
thing of a mystery. What do
the boys do when they gather
of an evening in Swain Hall?
Just stand around and hold a
glorified bull session under a
cloud of blue, stifling smoke,
discuss wine, women, and profs,
' :
and occasionally cheer a speech
of the president of the class or
the chairman of the Executive
Committee? Not at all.
Senior Smokers, and those of
the other classes as well, are
held for a definite purpose, and
that purpose is not mere bull
ing. There is generally a light
supper, a little music, and then
serious class business is trans
acted, accompanied, of course,
by plentiful free cigarettes. A
faculty member is generally in
vited to give the address of the
evening, and he is generally
given serious and close atten
tion, according to his merits.
Of recent years special efforts
have been made to get the shy
co-ed to attend these meetings,
formerly reserved only for the
dominating male. Nothing goes
on that any nice young lady
should not know about, and j
don't the girls like an occasional
plate of ice cream and a cigar
ette as well as the next person?
They do.
The Senior Smoker leads off
the season with a combined busi
ness and social session, to which
all members of the class are in
vited. It is not so much their
duty to attend as their privi
lege, if they are to know what
is happening and where their
money goes, as well as meet the
men and women who are their
classmates.
Taken seriously, the Smoker
is a means for getting things
done in the proper manner not
by one or two public-spirited
classmen, but by the class as a
whole.
The University
Holds Its Own
Plans were laid for the one
hundred and - thirty-sixth ses
sion of the University of North
Carolina . under circumstances
which were decidedly unfavor
able. The prevalence of hard
times and the probability of
even harder times causes off i
cials of the University no small
amount of worry. Reports
from the registrar's office, how
ever, show that the present en
rollment exceeds the enrollment
of a year ago by seventy-five.
The writer is convinced that
this is positive proof of one
thing the state of North Caro
lina is progressing.
That the scarcity of money
and the lamentable agrarian dis
content have placed a damper
on the progress of the state can
not be denied. Be this as it
may, the fact of a larger enroll
ment this fall proves conclu
sively that the spirit which un
derlies the activities of the peo
ple of the state has not been
diminished.
Although this progressive
spirit of the people is a potent
factor, the aforesaid unexpect
edly large fall quarter enroll
ment is due in large measure to
another force the untiring ef
forts of the officials of the Uni
versity. When the people of the state
of North Carolina cease to back
their university, then its enroll
ment will decrease from year to
year ; but as long as they con
tinue to stand behind it material
growth is a certainty. J;1 C; W.
Bob Martin, heavyweight box
ing champion of the A. E. F.,
is said to be a state policeman
in West Virginia.

Sunday morning, and here's
your paper. You can use it. to
clean your razor as you shave,
put under your feet when you
lie on the sofa in the front room
for an afternoon snooze, keep
the coffee-stains off the table
cloth, or even read it.
'
The first question generally
asked about the Sunday issue of
the Daily Tar Heel has been
wnetner or not it will nave a
comic section. Of course, of
course hasn't the Tar Heel al
ways aimed to please? Not on
ly a comic section on Sunday,
but every day in the week, Mon
day's excepted, four whole pages
of comics. ; The editors think it
is all very serious, but then what
do they know?
That new rear campus is a de
light to look at, but we do miss
our old locomotive and freight
train. It used to go through
every day a little before one
o'clock in the afternoon. There
was a prof in the History De
partment who used to tear his
hair when the train racketed
through, disturbing his careful
ly prepared discourse and mak
ing it impossible for him to con
tinue. He would wait for a few min
utes for the noise to calm down,
then give it up and dismiss the
class before the end of the hour
Starvation Hour, too, just be
fore the midday meal. Yes, the
new campus is nice to look at,
but we miss our old locomotive
and freight train.
The Isadora Duncan Dancers
will be here soon to inaugurate
tnis year s program 01 merry
making. Last year's program
was extremely successful, and
by the looks of the program
drawn up. by the Entertainment
Committee, this year's will run
it a close second. The Vita
phone is interesting entertain
ment, but there's nothing lik
watching a charming young
lady dance in the flesh, as it
were. t
We see by yesterday's Tar
Heel (we get all our news froin
the Tar Heel) that a Pa jama
Club is being organized by the
Frosh, or such of them as wish
to emulate the eminent W. O.
Saunders of Elizabeth City. We
are, in fact, a member of the
Pa jama Club at night only.
Considering the unusual free
dom of this campus in matters
of dress, there doesn't seem to
be any necessity for dress re
form here. There is, however,
a pressing need tor numerous
suits seen daily; on the campus
those of this harried scribe in
eluded.
The Carolina Theatre had its
face lifted recently, and as a re
suit, (in case you didn't know,
and we can't see how you don't),
it now talks in clear accents, and
some not so clear. The entire
theatre has been acoustically
improved, so that echoes are
eliminated. At one point in a
picture this week the audience
was invited to sing along with
the actors, and to the surprise
of all concerned, enthusiastically
did. We are now starting a
movement to film football pep
meeting leaders, thus adding
theme songs and dancing to the
usual procedure. We should like
TAR HEEL
I to see Coach Chuck trip a few
of the light fantastics.
.
For a glimpse of beauty, we
recommend a stroll through the
new library. The decorations,
on the whole, are tastefully
done, the arrangement of the
various rooms sensible, and the
building imposing. Our mind
full of exalted thoughts of beau
tiful architecture, we wandered
by chance into a little side room.
There . we found two gentlemen
of color at work on the statues
removed from the interior of the
old library. One was carefully
cleaning the toe-nails of Venus
de Milo, the other was wiping
Apollo's nose. .Our thoughts
left us.

"Literary Society Work and De

which are presented to aid
and encourage the freshmen
in the selection of a worthwhile

men desire to affiliate with
some organization or institu

college to give them a compre

New Publication Has
Story by Former Student
A new literary publication,
edited and published by Willis
H. Kinnear at Indianapolis,
Ind, has created favorable com
ment from many prominent lit
erary men. The magazine
caters to the younger writers
throughout the united States,
primarily to those who are in
the universities and is distri
buted on a national scale. Many
well known writers are on the
staff of Manuscripts, as the
magazine is called, including
Robert Morss Lovett, Norman
Foerster, and Edith R. Mirrie
lees. Of special, interest is the
fact that one of the contributors
to the current issue is Charles
0. Culbertson of the University
of North Carolina.
The magazine is filling a place
among the literary publications
that has long been neglected,
and has the co-operation of the
heads and members of the Eng
lish departments in the largest
universities of the country.
