Engaged To Furnish Music
For Occasion,
Due to the German club rul
ing that no dances can be held
on the Hill during the "week-end
-of a major football game, the
Grail dance scheduled for last
Saturday was postponed and
will be held Saturday night.
The dance will be held as usual
in the Bynum gymnasium at 9
o'clock. Alex Mendenhall and
liis Tar Heel boys have been en
gaged to furnish the music.
Dancing will continue until 12
o'clock. ,

ber who wish to attend these
dances the number of tickets on
sale for stags has been limited
to prevent the overcrowding of
the dance floor. -These tickets
will be on sale at the rear en
trance of the gym at 8 :30 o'clock
preceding the dance.
The general rules of the Ger
man club will be in effect regard
ing the fact that freshmen are
not allowed to be present at
these dances. Other rules are
known to those who are eligible
to attend.
This is next to the last dance
of the quarter as only .three are
given each quarter The date
for the last dance has not as yet
been decided upon.

Long Distance Calls Deluge
Local Operators During Games
(Frank J. Manheim)
Hello the Washington Duke
hotel in Durham? WhcTs call
ing please? Mr. Snozzle at
Mangum? I'll call you, Mr.
Snozzle, when I get the hotel."
. . . "Hello Schyler 0898 in New
York City? Who's calling
please? Jack Pink of the D. T.'s
house? I'll ring you as soon as
I get New York, Mr. Pink." . . .
"Hello? 4483 in Winston-Salem?
Who's .calling please ? Mr.
Wimpfburger from the Carolina
Inn? Just a minute, please."
And so on through the entire 24
hours.
The "gals" over at the Chapel
Hill Telephone Company's build
ing on East Rosemary lane do
this on an average of 150 times
per day. They're used to it now.
You'll find no wrinkles on their
high and wide brows due to
overwork. But wait, just try to
get a kind word out of them
when a big football game is
scheduled such as last week's
Georgia game.
With heroic grimness and de
termination, they "carry on," in
spite of the 250 long distance
calls that must be made during
the day. That's what the aver
age was last week. They have
no time to play then. But if
UNIVERSITY BAND
BEGINS PROGRAM
Preparations Being Made for
Local Winter Concerts;
Patten Is Manager.
The University band is now
moving along in full swing. Its
new uniforms and the Georgia
Tech-Carolina football game of
week before last seem to have
given it pep that has never ex
isted before. The band, as a
whole, has already begun work
in preparation for a concert trip
and for local concerts in the win
ter quarter. The membership
of 85 men is working on this
program music. Later the con
cert band will be cut to 50 men.
And since there are 85 men to
fill 50. places the competition
will likely be very keen, both
because a band man is not eli
gible to receive an , award until
he has proven musicianship of
sufficient merit to be chosen for
the concert band.
Paul Patten is now manager
for the band and is now work
ing on the matter of booking
dates. According to the offi
cials of the band, it is not always
an easy task to get concert
dates because people generally
are afraid a band program will
be too much of a "rah-rah" type.
But the Carolina concert band
has made every effort to dem
onstrate that a band can play
real symphonic music, worth
while for an organization to
play and for any audience to
listen to. And it is encouraging
to the organization that a re
turn date has always been avail
able at every place a concert has
been played, and that every year
the territory in which it is pos
sible to secure these dates grad
ually widens. '
The Asheville papers last
spring, in commenting on the
band's concert there called the
organization "a symphony with
out strings," and was enthusias
tic in their commendations. The
type of music used in this con
cert work has constantly inj
creased in amount and in diffi
culty in the repertoire of the
band.

who, a wee bit "under the in
fluence of intoxicating liquor,"
place phone calls to anywhere
from Durham to Los Angeles,
and then disappear when the
troublesome connection has been
made.
For some reason, fraternity
houses seem to be in the bad
graces of the telephone operat
ors. When visiting brothers and
alumni appear at the house,
they are overcome with the beau
ty of the campus or intoxicated
with the Carolina moon and they
raise "merry Gain with the tele
phone. But if you've been sorely
tempted at times to pick up the
entire apparatus and throw it

ASK STUDENTS TO
REPORT CHANG!
Many Corrections Made In New
Directory; Master Directory
Kept In Y. M. C. A.
Many students have changed
their addresses since the direc
tory has been printed. In order
that these changes may be re
corded, each student who
changes, or who has changed his
address is requested to call or
come, to the Y office, and have
his new address placed on a
Master Directory.
This Master Directory will be
kept in the Y all the time, and
it is very important that it be
absolutely correct. Very often
an important call cames for a
student who has changed his
address without making a rec
ord of it at the Y. In such
cases it isvery hard to secure
the student right away.
There will be a list of these
changes in the Tar Heel each
month, and it is advisable to
copy .these changes into your in
dividual directory.
The new names and changes
that, have come to the Y office
since the directory went to the
printer are as follows :

f Protective Tariff Does
Not Raise Living Standard
By E. J. WOODHOUSE, Pro
fessor of Government
In its total effect upon our in
ternal and our external rela
tions, the "Protective Tariff" is
the greatest curse that has ever
been inflicted upon the people of
the United States. ,It does not
really protect our working men
and the'ir standard of living
from the competition of the
more poorly paid laborers of
other countries with their low
er standards of living, for it
takes from our workers in the
form of increased prices much
more than it gives them in the
form of increased wages. It does
not benefit even the owners of
the industries which it is sup
posed to protect, since it en
courages them to depend upon
the artificial aid and stimulation
of higher tariffs instead of up
on more efficient management
of the industries, and since it
alienates or diminishes foreign
markets and limits or destroys
the foreign markets' of their
domestic customers and there
by lessens the capacity of those
customers to buy. The very
idea of such tariff "protection"
is a relic of the misconceived
medieval doctrine of Mercan
tilism. Both Mercantilism, the

AUTHOR OF BO 0I
Asheville Man Receives Recog

ated in 1920.
Thomas Wolfe of Asheville,
whose novel Look Homeward,
Angel was recently published
by Scribners, is a former stu
dent at the University, having
graduated in 1920. Wolfe is
only 29 and has had short stories
published as well as this novel.
Look Homevmrd, Angel has
been "given excellent reviews
and has already attracted atten
tion. The novel is laid in the
south, mostly in the mountains
of North Carolina west of Ashe
ville. Part of the work, being
of an autobiographical nature, is
written around Chapel Hill
and the University, and many of
the places mentioned will be
familiar to students here.
Wolfe was a member of the
Pi Kappa Phi fraternity during
his student days here, and was
elected to membership in Sigma
Upsilon, national literary fra
ternity. He was editor of the
Tar Heel in his senior year, and
had also written several plays
for the Playmakers, acting in
his own productions. He ob
tained his degree at 19, and went
to Harvard for three years,
studying dramatic technique in
the 41 workship, George Baker's
famous school of playwriting
and dramatic production.

much as possible with the de

praised and much misunderstood

tially contrary to the well-established
economic principle of in

long run, imports and exports

that it is better for both sides
of the trade that they should be
so equalized. Those from whom
we buy are apt to buy from us

them. Of the 23 best custom

per cent or more of our exports,

South Africa) were among the
