REPORTERS
Considerations of pride do not
enter into the thoughts of a
cigarette bummer on the war
path. Cigarettes he will have,
and that ' without expense.
though he must debase himself
beyond all human understand
ing. When the pack is once
within his clutches it is just too
bad. Surreptitiously he will ap
propriate a few extra cigarettes
for good luck, and if perchance
the attention of the pack's own
er be diverted, there is a darn
good chance that never again
will that particular pack repose
in the pocket of its purchaser.
Since murder is not legal in
this state, the best thing that
could be "done with the species
bummus cigar ettae would be to
secure jobs for all specimens of
the genus in a single gigantic
erous alumni of this institution
who are deeply interested in its
work and expansion. The major
portion of these seldom, if ever,
get an opportunity to attend any
of the athletic performances in
which their alma mater is a
participant. Yet . these same
persons turn with eagerness to
the sports pages of their morn
ing papers to ascertain the out
come of such contests. In the
case' of victory their delight is
equally as great as that exper
ienced by any "member of the
student body. If Carolina
loses they share also in the dis
appointment. It is this deep
and profound interest in the ac
tivities of the ; University of
North Carolina that accounts
for its steady and unthwarted
development.

Tar Heel Topics
The coeds have gone in for
athletics; they held a meeting
yesterday afternoon and made
plans for a big year in an ath
letic way. 'Tis said that several
members of the varsity wrest
ling team are looking to their
laurels. - "
From the Five, Years Ago col

worst college daily we learn
that the University had an epi
demic of hiccoughs. Reckon

safety variety. Then ' they
would at least die happy.
A South Carolina jury drank
40 gallons of homebrew the

they were trying, the defendant

The Species
Bummus Cigarettae
Collegians are adept at the art
of bumming, i. e., securing goods
or services without returning
the equivalent of value received.
Particularly are " many of them
proficient in obtaining cigarettes
and tobacco from their fellows
who provide themselves with a
sufficient supply of these com
modities.
The habitual cigarette bum
mer is an abomination unto the
, 01 man. Marvelous are
the artifices that he employs to
satisfy his craving for the slen
der pellets without ' expending
cash money, although he be
plenteously supplied with the
wherewithal to purchase them.
Even though he realizes perfect
ly that his friends are wearied
by his continual bumming, their
likes or dislike's can never be al
lowed to interfere with his
favorite pastime. Rather would
he alienate his dearest friend,
or perhaps his best girl, than
refrain from bumming their
cigarettes. '' -
All known brands, and a few
unknown, are acceptable to the
bumming fiend. He would .pry
the last cubeb from the clutch
ing fingers of a man dying of
catarrh. Not only would he' walk
a mile for a fag, but he would
walk two miles if it were free.
They all satisfy him. The only
requisite is that they ' be with
out cost as far as his own bank-

More Friendships
With Less "Booting
We hold no brief for the ha
bitual "booter" who "boots" for
grades and grades alone ; like
the maproity of students here
we view this practice with great
disfavor. But we can see no
harm that will result from a
closer , personal contact between
students and faculty.
Any student who takes the
initiative in forming friendships
by chatting with the - instructor
after class, or calling on him in
his home, or engaging in any
sport with him, inevitably earns
the name of a "booter." Any
effort one may make toward
sincere friendship is balked by
the ridicule and derision heaped
upon it by fellow students.
' The most valuable and richest
experiences in college life may
easily result from friendships
formed with the professors. A
student can learn infinitely more
from a friendly chat before the
fireside or in a conversation
casually and easily conducted
while walking through 1 the
woods than he will ever get
from a dry lecture he hears in
the classroom while his mind
Wanders to thoughts of pleasure.
Our keenest disappointment in
college life has been the lack of
a genuine sincere, friendship
between professors and stu
dents. ' " . -" :-':-V-
Many of the teachers are so
busily engaged with outside
work that they have no time
for student friendships. But
many exhibit a sympathetic at
titude and would welcome stu
dent friendships, if "booting"
were not viewed with such dis
favor by the students.

A CALL FOR DORMITORY
REFORM
College
Loyalty'
Without a. doubt loyal stu
dents, professors, and alumni
are an asset to any college or
university. Indeed, no institu
tion could exist for long , with
out loyal supporters both with
in and without. Of the various
types of loyalty that can be
manifested toward one's alma
mater the writer feels that the
rah, rah type which is habitual
ly demonstrated at football
games and other contests which
arouse human emotions by thrill
ing performances of the physi
cal man is accorded a relatively
greater influence than it really
exercises. People are generally
prone to think that the students
and alumni who yell the loudest
at football games are the most
loyal supporters of the Univer
sity. Without attempting to
minimize the significance of the
loud, emotional type of loyalty
demonstrations this -p editorial
seeks to call attention to other
and more nearly secluded phases
of college loyalty. J ,

Editor the Daily Tar Heel: '
Where but at the University
of North Carolina can one find
such vandalism and rowdyism
as exists in the domitories? And
existing in a totally unchecked
state ?
The Building department is
no doubt indirectly responsible
for much of the damage preva
lent because it allows all sorts
of destruction in the rooms with
out in any way holding the oc
cupants responsible. This ex
plains the almost wretched state
of some of the 'rooms in the
newer buildings. Besides this,
they are none too well taken
care of.
It would seem that something
could easily be done to stop tKe
disgraceful conditions now ex
isting. There is no excuse for
shrieking and yelling and run
ning in the halls or in the rooms,
whether it be in the afternoon
or at midnight. (It is usually
at midnight, though.) And the
burning of papers in the rooms
in certainly uncalled for (al
though a little sweeping would
help) .
. And then the victrolas that
are played between 11 and 1
o'clock at night are very annoy
ing to say the least, as. are the
automobilists who stand under
the windows yelling for no good
reasons. v
I don't know whether all "this
is due to the fact that the Uni
versity in its frantic democracy
is making itself the refuse for
the feeble-minded or not. But
the matter surely needs I some
investigation. And if the Stu
dent Council turned its atten-
self esteem.

Scientific Society
Hears Two Speakers
At the last - meeting of the
Elisha Mitchell Scientific So
ciety, held Tuesday evening in
Phillips hall, papers were pres
ented by E: K. Plyler, of the phy
sics department, and J. F. Dash
iel, of the psychology depart
ment.'.
Mr. Plyler presented a paper
and Mr. Dashiel talked on
"Some Psychological Effects of
Insulin." .
In his paper Mr. Plyler gave
the results of a series of experi
ments in which the molecular
construction of certain materials
was investigated through the
use of infra-red rays. The re
sults of these experiments tend
to show that in certain cases the
connection between atoms with
in molecules is not the common
ly accepted idea. : y
The, specific example demon
strated in this paper showed that
in the infra-red spectrum ' the
typical nitrate band of inor-.
ganic compounds is not present
in certain organic nitrates. In
stead of the nitrate band there
appears the typical band of the
organic alcohol.
This investigation shows that
in some cases the. nitrate group
representing organic compounds
is not bonded to the other parts
of the molecule in the same way
that it is bonded in inorganic
compounds.
Mr. Dashiel presented in his
paper the results of a .series of
tests to determine the psycholo
gical effects of insulin. The
conclusion drawn from the re
sults of the tests was that either
an over or an under normal
amount of sugar in the blood
tended to reduce the rating of
subject in certain psychological
tests. .. : ) :
The tests on which Mr. Dashiel
based, his paper were made upon
a dieoetic who consented to
undergo the tests both with an
under dose and an over dose of
insulin. ;;- -JV. .
This work of Mr. Dashiel ,was

these conditions could be remeJ tests to have been triven .tn din.

Freshmen Asked To
Protect Grass Here
This morning in chapel R. B.
House presented in a rather
unique manner a plea to the
freshmen to help preserve the
beauty of the University cam
pug. Without bold assertions,
Mr. House tactfully impressed
his hearers with the importance
of avoiding needless injuries to
grass and shrubbery which are
likely to injure seriously the ap
pearance of the campus.
Beginning Mr. House gave
some simple and apparent facts
regarding the care and devel
opment of the campus. The
land promontory- upon which
Chapel Hill is situated is com
posed chiefly of sandstone, and
consequently grass is not - well
adapted to the soil. Under no
conditions will grass grow here
if walked upon or, which is
worse, if students play, football
upon it. Mr. House emphasized
also the fact, that shrubs are
certain to susain injuries from
repeated kicking and blows from
footballs. Paths are intended
for use in walking over the cam
pus, as they have been made for
that express purpose, he said.
These facts are plainly ob
vious, Mr. House admitted.
"Nevertheless, they seem to be
the points most often overlooked.
Acknowledging the desirability
of maintaining a beautiful cam
pus, one should do nothing con
trary, or detrimental to this in
tention." : '
He stated that in the future
he expected freshmen to , do
everything possible toward keep
ing the regulations governing
the care of the campus.
AT THE CAROLINA TODAY
Her third moving picture was
the most interesting one for
Claudette Colbert, . slender
beauty of the Broadway stage,
who will be seen and heard in
the leading feminine role in
"The Lady Lies" at the Carolina
theatre today. , ,
All of her pictures have been
made in the East. Her -first
picture was "Love O'Mike,"
filmed while she was busy every
night and two afternoons a
week on Broadway in her stage
hit, "The Barker." It was a
"tough" assignment, but she
put all her energy into it and
kept both jobs running smoothly.
Her next picture was Para
mount's all-talking melodrama
"The Hole in the Wall," which
was filmed while she was work
ing on the stage as star of "Tin
Pan Alley." It meant a lot of
earnest work. At the finish she
was ready for a long vacation,
but she didn't get oneT
She plunged into the task of
leading woman in Eugene
O'Neill's Theatre Guild play,
"Dynamo," incidentally winning
laurels by her performance. She
didn't essay any film work dur
ing the run of "Dynamo."
When the play closed she w as
back at work again at the Para
mount Long Island studios. The
new opus was "The Lady Lies."
This time she was working in a
movie without any, contemporary
stage obligations. It was a lot
of fun it was the first time she
had a chance to get a real "kick"
out of her film work. Here was
interesting work, uninterrupted
b legitimate stage duties. She
liked it a lot, and Director Ho
bart Henley said afterward that
the best performance of her ca
reer is the characterization of
Joyce Roamer in this great all
talking r;omance-drama.

usually costs more to sell than
it does to make. Louisville
