H. B.'s communication, appearing in the Readers', Opin ions column this morning, inter ests v us mightily. In common with most other dormitory resi dents, we have frequently re turned from a fast set of tennis or a gallop around the track to shiver under v an icy shower. Even our vast-rage, induced by the cold water and directed against the powers that be in the buildings department, does not serve to heat up our red cor puscles sufficiently to keep our teeth f roin emulating castanets on such occasions. Apparently the University heating plant is not capable of keeping the water at a tempera ture high enough for the most he-mannish of cold showers dur ing the peak periods before the breakfast and supper hours. W. H. B.'s suggestion that a heating plant be installed 'in the fieldhouse at the stadium is worthy of serious consideration. "Installation - of a plant there woum decrease tne peak nour drain on the tanks at the heating plant, but it would prove a tem porary expedient at best. ing water must be provided be fore the problem is solved and the dorm men may contentedly splash around in plenty of hot water.

The Duncan Dancers and The Entertainment Program T l i i j i -i 1-x - asL mgni tne uuncan dancers : i i ' -l ii ituspiciuusiy launcnea tne stu dent entertainment program for the year when they held a capa city Memorial hall audience en thralled for the better part of -two hours. The abbreviated cos tumes and comely figures of the dancers added much to the , en thusiastic reception tendered them by the students, but the perfect rhythm of movement and finer shades of symbolic thought translation sppmprl n Ko Vn'rrl-iiTr V - . a appreciated by; the entire audi ence. , Indications point to a highly successful season for the Uni versity student' entertainment committee in its second year of existence. With the favorable reception tendered the opening event" of the 1929-30 program last night, students, townspeo ple and faculty alike have re called the excellence of last year's program. A cursory glance at the events scheduled for the remainder of this year will convince the most critical of observers that the University has graduated to the "big time," entertainments are concerned. y -Dean Addison Hibbard, the directing genius ' of the enter tainment committee, deserves a generous measure of applause, and we hereby extend our share of it. Those Tickets For the Game (By H. J. G.) "When several thousand people called for their tickets for the Georgia-Yale game the other week, they found themselves the lucky recipients of beautifully engraved golden pasteboards, each with appropriate pictures and a nice sentiment, included with the pride of the seat. The tickets called to mind the efforts of Broadway theatrical producers for the opening of their' . shows, when beautiful golden .pieces of typographical art are granted to the members of the audience, presumably to help them forget the fifty or so perfectly good iron "men they had handed out for the privilege of- occupying a small plush throne for the space of three hours. " ' It was with the fhought of the Georgia tickets in our mind that we fondly surveyed the tickets issuing from Mr. Woollen's of fice for the battle this Satur day. .Then we turned to the current copy of . the Raleigh Neivs and Observer, and saw this piece, written by our Mr. Robert House. "I hold," he wrote, "that reader to be blest who in the welter of print, whether by wide reading or in a more limited way, has found some few books that are peculiarly his own -books that he keeps v close at hand ; that speak to him in language that never grows stale, that awaken in him thoughts and emotions which flow in and over and around the volume itself in a sort of creative sym phony. These are books . with meaning, . dog-eared, worn-covered, loose-leaved treasures, that are loaned out with the same misgivings of a safe return with which a mother sends her son to college." , And then we turned to the passbook issued by the Athletic association, and reread . Mr. House's last phrase. For he is right, dead right! How fondly those passbooks are being kept, with what - misgivings loaned out, and with what appreciation will the stubs be turned over af ter the season is closed and the victories won. Golden tickets, Georgia? Ours should be en graved on silver plates this .sea son; . . :- .' ,v Readers' Opinions LACK OF HOT WATER Editor of the Tar Heel: I, among many others, come in on these chilly October after noons from a workout, and have facing me the most pleasant ex perience of taking a cold shower. I , have inquired as to the reason for the lack of hot water, and I have, -been told that all of it is being used by the freshman and varsity football team$. I should like to say in this connection that I do hot object to a football player, taking a bath for I am sure he needs one as badly ' as anyone could, but I do object to the. football players using. up all the hot water. ' The first remedy that one .might - think of is the heating, of more' water. I do not know whether or not the plant is heating all the not water it can, but if it isn't it should. If it is, arrangements should be made for a plant to be set up in the stadium for the football boys alone, and this would leave a sur plus for the' dormitories.. I have heard much discussion con cerning this matter and discon tentment has been voiced every time. If anv rfvmedv fm fVo as far as situation can be arranged I move that it be immediately. W.H.B. RED-BLOODEDNESS WILL OUT Editor of the Tar Heel : . Now, at the very beginning of what bids fair to be the ;most glorious year in its existence, the University students, old and new, seem afraid to back up their own football team? Yes, some, but, mighty sporadic. Enthusi asm? A little, but none -with any guts behind it. : Only last Sunday the Tar Heel, which presumably reflects the minds of the students of the University, had an editorial in which it was said that "Especial ly disgusting is the spectacle of a college man, presumably above the average in intelligence and in the niceties of social usage, descending to vicious imbecilities because his team has won an athletic contest." Vicious imbecilities indeed, because a group of red-blooded Carolina men celebrated the glorious victory over Tech in the streets of the town, the most natural because it is the most public place for them to be. Are we to hide our heads when our own team wins a football game, and that such a game as will go down in the annals of history? Must we be driven off the streets of this, our college town, by a cop with a badge and a man with a knife merely because we want to show we are proud of our football men? There was a demand for a special show at the theatre, such a demand as is always, on similar occasions, made and acceded to in other, more natural college towns. And was this a crime ? Mr. Editor, mere cheering at the game Js not enough. If we cannot congregate when and where we want to and celebrate our victories without being told we are; "lassinine," ."rowdies," "vicious," and "childish," some thing should be done. If this is the attitude of the paper, we want no more of it. Some, at least, on the staff seem to have the, proper idea, for the editorial following the one already re ferred to said what should have been said in praise of the spec tacular game of the mighty Shorty Branch. Let us forget we are staid men with the cares of life weighing us down,- and act with enthusi asm, as God intended us to and as the incomparable playing of our team is leading us to act. Are we red-blooded men of Caro lina, or nice Willie-boys who just love to see the great big team win a nice, little victory of a sunny afternoon? Must we be dictated to always, or may we show our spirit and celebrate in the time-honored, enthusiastic Carolina manner? Yours for enthusiasm, PETER "GREEN. : French Work Edited:; Professors U. T. Holmes and J. C. Lyons,, of the romance language department, and Pro fessor G. C. Taylor, of the Eng lish department, have in prep aration an edition of the works of Guilliume de Salluste du Bar tas (1544-1590), to be published by the University ; Press.

The edi tion should be completed by the end of the summer of 1930. Infirmary List The following are confined to the infirmary: M. M. Jones, Asheville; J. F.
