Denning Sherman Shore Sunday, October 20, 1929 A Great Team Is Defeated ' It was a great game, a gigan tic struggle between two of the best teams that ever appeared in Kenan stadium. While it seemed a heart-breaking defeat from a Carolina standpoint, there were many features of the game that should serve to con sol Tar Heel sympathizers. Scintillating plays were fre quent, and Collins' charges gave the Bulldogs a stiff battle, a much harder game than even the mighty Yale team could offer. In the de j ection. that is only natural after defeat, most Carolina men are prone to be . lieve that the roseate visions of a Conference championship and even a Rose Bowl victory, which Would assure a generous meas ure of consideration whenever National Championship claims are considered, have been def initely shattered. There are a '' number of, games still to be played by the Bulldogs and the Tar Heels, however, and Caro lina stilllias a chance to achieve a Conference title. At any rate, a great Carolina team and a magnificent Georgia aggregation battled on even terms yesterday afternoon. It was a clash between two equally- balanced teams. . We believe that Georgia has a marvelous football machine, but Carolina has, without doubt, an equally .great team. Georgia earned her victory, but the Tar Heels were great even in defeat. press their disapproval. The Student Entertainment Committee has done a very not able thing this year in bringing to the campus many attractions of national and international reputation. Nevertheless, we cannot help feeling that they have tried to force on the stu dents a type of entertainment for which they are not prepared, and to that extent have invited the very sort of misconduct which took the form of hissing a few nights ago.' As evidence of the reasonableness of this con tention we cite the long, patient and courteous attention which a crowded house gave last year to the efforts of Von Luckner. In 'other words, the student will give attention to something which is attractive to him. If , -any one doubts the correct ness of the conclusions set forth above ,let him explain why the Shakespearian play fails to com mand an, audience today while the various picture houses of tle land are filled. Let him also ex pound, why students delight in concerts given by the glee club but shun organ recitals.-J.

ROY FARCE. DEAN HIBBARD LAUDS AUDIENCE OF DANCERS THE CRITIC IS CRITICIZED Readers' Opinions PANACEA FOUND The Hissing Element That institution which we call human society is generally agreed that public demonstra tions of disapproval are, to say the least, undesirable. 'With this introduction, the writer ventures to say that the students who hissed and booed the Russian dancers, a few nights ago in Memorial hall deserve censure. Although we condemn this sort of conduct, we are inclined to think that it can be explained. Two years ago the students of the College of Liberal Arts and of the School of Education vot ed a tax on themselves to pro vide an annual program of en tertainments. These events are scheduled with a view to pleas ing the student body at large. Undoubtedly, it would be a fine thing for those who are al ready confessedly super-cultured if everybody liked the ! things which appeal to the self-appointed intelligentsia element. This campus, however, is filled with men who have not had any great opportunity to learn to appre ciate certain forms of art. The contention of this editorial is that a large percentage of the students'of the University have spent their money for something which they fail utterly to under stand.. If this be the case, they should seek in some way to ex- Editor of the Tar Heel : 1 Peter Green, Evangeline, Mr. Hawkins and Aristotle have all been at each other's throats in the columns of the Daily Tar Heel for the past severay days, and it seems to me that after reading all the denunciations of both sides that the Vox Pop of the student body is not dead, but rather very much alive. But what's all the use of this mud slinging and verbal warfare. Neither side is satisfied, and there is yet to appear anyone with a suggestion as what to do with all this "redbloodedness," "he-manness" or what have you. Coming from the great open .spaces of the middle-west where we used to hang strangers vas horse thieves when we didn't like them, and where we still are pretty red-blooded, it seems to me that a little reversion to type, a little jumping of the traces and being what we really are after all, despite all of our supposed sophistication, doesn't do any harm so long as it doesn't interfere with the rights of others. There is a big ex panse of cleared ground down near Emerson stadium on which these aboriginals of ours could maul, "bat, pummel, bruise, pound and injure each other to their savage hearts' delight. Nothing is as funny, however, when it is practiced on one's self. The University of North Car olina does have some cultured students who, unlike the vocifer ous Duke student body and the timid Deacons of Wake Forest, desire to strike a happy medium. We, the cultured and misunder stood minority of the University of North Carolina, call upon the rest of the student body to re form, clean up, and inhibit their baser instincts, not that we don't believe that E. C. Smith of the Carolina theatre doesn't deserve to be soaked in the eye with the most ancient eggs served at the local boarding-houses. ! Now then, to get serious about this great campus problem, what we propose is that all this so-called red-blooded animation be turned to good and practical purpose by let us say Grady Pritchard, and that these red blooded youths turn their tal ents to the carpentering, brick masoning, plastering, etc., of Graham Memorial and open it by Christmas time. If this suggestion fails to meet with immediate public ap proval we haye ah alternate pro posal;!, e., that these same Peter Pans, instead of assaulting our worth. -Editor of the Tar Heel : The reception accorded the Isadora Duncan Dancers here last night by the students of the University reflects distinct cred it upon the student body. In one way or another I have been as sociated with entertainments here for several years, and at different times the question of bringing a group of aesthetic dancers to the Hill has come up for consideration. Each time those in charge of entertain ments have expressed some hesi tancy in bringing such an attrac tion here, feeling that an under graduate body of men might look On the performance more as a display of physical attraction than of aesthetic art. I suspect that this attitude on the part of some of us has been a hold-over from the old days when the un dergraduate was thought of as a hoodlum. Last night, it is true, two or three students were inclined to express their backwoods quali ties by whistling and other weird sounds. Perhaps these two or three were among those who at tempted to express their enthusi asm at our victory over Georgia Tech ,by rushing, the Carolina Theatre.. However, on the whole, the, audience was definitely at tracted by the performance and the old fear of bringing such at tractions here was abolished. I assume that in the future it "will be safe to bring artistic perform ances here with the understand ing that they will be judged for their artistry. v While writing you, Mr. Editor, I wish to thank you for the cour teous editorial in this morning's j paper relative "to the -Duncan; Dancers and the Entertainment Program." Since you are a member of this year's Enter tainment Committee, and one who, through your Tar. Heel ex perience of several years, is fa miliar with the inception and growth of the Entertainment plan, I must infer that your courteous reference to me in that editorial is more generous than deserved. If any one man deserves credit for the starting of this program here, it is a for mer editor of the Tar Heel Dave Carroll. Through Dave's enthusiasm and political acumen the plan was placed before the students and voted in by the stu dents of the School of Education and the College of Liberal Arts. Every decision, every contract, every item in the program has been the unanimous decision of the committee and any credit for this series of entertainments belongs first of all to Dave Car roll and, secondly, to the mem bers of last year's and this year's committees. For some reason we have sold forty-five fewer season tickets this year than last. Since our budget is determined on the basis that we, sell all of the season tickets possible, I hope that .stu dents, faculty -members, and townspeople will see fit to buy up these remaining forty-five season , tickets. Unless we sell this number, our committee is likely to have a very close year. We have already made contracts totaling about $5,800 and we need to sell these tickets to break even. There are still twelve numbers remaining on the pro gram; anyone buying now will certainly receive his money's Editor of the Tar Heel : We wonder if your reviewer, Mr. J. E. Dungan, actually at tended the performance of the Isadora l)uncan Dancers in Memorial hall Wednesday night If he did, we are frankly puz zled. How did Mr. Dungan over look the fact that Schubert's Marche MUitaire was neither played nor interpreted. Per haps Mr. Dungan has in mind some other piece when he says! that "Le" Marche MUitaire was one of the most widely appreci ated interpretations. It is pos sible that, in writing his criti cism, Mr. Dungan trusted his printed program rather than his memory, or his knowledge of music. Haw. Again, Mr. Dungan informs us, paradoxically enough," that "Irma, the masked faced leader of the troupe" was "in the mat ter,, of facial expression . . . splen did." We may suggest, for the sake of the University, that the Tar Heel engage writers whose re views are faithful criticisms rather than vehicles for their own cleverness ? Thank you, TWEEDLEDUM AND TWEEDLEDEE. ian, a student paper, was begun. This soon died, and in February, 1893, there appeared the first issue of the Tar Heel, whereupon the Maaazine said, "What the Magazine has so long urged and hoped for is at last come to pass. We are to have a weekly paper, The Tar Heel, published under the auspices of the Athletic As sociation., It will be an exponent of the University's everyday life and a chronicle of minor events to the world at large, but in tensely interesting to friends, alumni, and students. The Ath- letic Association will have an or gan through which athletics will be brought into prominence and athletic claims set forth in no uncertain' strain. In fact The Tar Heel will be of incal culable benefit to the University and deserves hearty support." The Tar Heel thanked the Magazine, and said it hoped the two' would be co-workers. There have been frequent skirmishes between them since then, but at last they have forgotten their grievances to enter happy wed lock as daily and Sunday supple ment. been excited recently at the in troduction of basketball into our athletic sports. It promises to be an interesting game." A '03 issue carried this item: "A newT feature at the game yes terday with Gettysburg was the music by the University band. Ten of the University's talented musicians have organized a brass band unHer the leadership of Mr. Charles T. Woollen." The only red ink Tar Heel ever printed appeared in 1911 with this startling head: "Tar Heels Skin Sore Backs." In '16 the Tar Heel says, "The time necessary for military training has made it impossible for intercollegiate football to be carried 'on. But keen rivalry was aroused in company ath letics." Also in '16: "It is re ported that several men in the University have taken the privi lege of giving to their 'best girl' a monogram sweater. We sug gest that the Student Council look into the matter. It isn't fair to those who have worked for the honor of representing a Carolina team." The Campus By Joe Jones "Look, here, Charley, at this Daily Tar Heel ! Can you: beat that? And to think what a tough time we had making it a semi weekly just a few years ago! That's progress on the old cam pus for you. I tell you, Charley, there's been something besides buildings and football teams growing up here during these ten years." And so the old grad considers the Daily Tar the Tar Heel, whose history runs back across a span of A thirty-five turbid years. During that time it has served many masters, has lifted its editorial oriflame in many cam pus wars and rumors of campus wars, has attacked and been at tacked; until now it comes into its inheritance, a daily, subser vient to none. Today it is be come the thread that binds a growing cosmopolitan student body together. In 1894 there arose the Blue and White, a non-f rat student weekly, which maintained that Tar Heel was run solely for and by f rat "men. This rival was treated with respect by the Tar Heel, but it soon followed the Chapel Hillian down the dim trail to oblivion. For fifty years before" the Tar Heel's beginning the Magazine was the sole carrier of campus news. In 1891 tide Chapel Hill- Founded as the child and offi cial organ of the Athletic Asso ciation the Tar Heel remained so for thirty years.. In this ca pacity it was chiefly concerned with athletics. ' Let us see what it is saying during these thirty years. A '93 issue says, "The old Uni versity yell has served its time and purpose; has become worn out. It " took enough wind to run a cyclone to yell it. . We are pleased to hear that a new , yell is being warmly received." In a '96 number we are told that "the conduct of students during the two games with Lafayette here caused a great deal of unfavorable comment. Every attempt was made -to guy and worry them while on, the campus." . In '96 the first blue ink issue told of a football victory over Virginia. The headlines were, "Carolina Forever. We Win From Virginia by- Superior, Scientific Football." Another blue ink issue in '98 headlines, "Howell's Great Run Wins Game. Carolina's Scientific Foot ball Wins Over the Superior Weight and Force of Virginia." ,; In '99 the Tar Heel stated that "quite a good deal of interest has ten joints 3 y -s By H, J. Galland Chapel Hill is a chastened town this morning. There was excitement aplenty yesterday afternoon, but now, for some reason or other, the town seems quiet. Perhaps the score of the game has something, to do with it. Always a colorful town, Chap el Hill was a veritable riot of spectrums while the crowd as sembled for the football game. The ladies were much in evi dence, and they are not general ly known to choose the most quiet colors to be found for their costumes. From the field, the stands were a dull grey re lieved here and there with a red hat or an even redder face. The south side had a self-appointed cheerleader who threat ened to take the interest of the crowd entirely away from the game. He led cheers, sang songs and encouraged the team prac tically at one and the same time. As more than one bystander re marked, it must have been potent stuff. 7 - A news cameraman, thorough ly Carolina in his sympathies, jr (Continued on page four) HEAR THE SCREEN'S MOST ROMANTIC STAR In His First ALL TALKING ROLE!
