Pajre Four THE DAILY TAR HEEL Wednesday, November 27, 1923 PRESffiffl GALLIS CO-ED HYSTERIA Appearance Of 'Winged Animal' Disturbs Peace Of Spencer Hall. (By E. C. Daniel). A lot of water has gone over the old mill wheel and still no body has told this story, so here goes: Glorious was the calm of that Sabbath evening. Not a sound could be heard above the din of passing auto horns, the shuffle of hurrying- feet, the slamming of innumerable doors, the static growl of the radio, the meaningless jargon of a hun dred voices in discordant unison, and the majestic moan of the organ in the church next door. Within the room, cozy in spite of its great size, several groups of sophisticated young people were seriouslyy but .with exterior joviality, pairing off for an eve ning; of indoor sports, or more likely; hide-and-seek, in the ar boretum,. Every one who "be longed' was there,; even the ner vous freshman, with - his, first "blindi'da Let your imagination ; work, and yoamay of . may not believe that the "Co-ed Shack" at dat ing time on Sunday night has been described. When the crowd had begun to disperse and "the choice corner seats, left without lamps for a purpose, had been occupied, the jiu-jitsu artists got down to the business at hand and all was quiet on the Spencer front. But into the midst of the calm was hurled an unharmonic note. Some diabolical soul had al lowed a vile fowl, or was it a winged animal, to invade the do main of the fair. The stygian monster with no harmful intent created a scene of disorder, not at all complimentary to the rep utation for ladylike conduct that the women students have man aged to maintain this year. In ever increasing circles it flew, at every turn causing fear to cling to the frozen hearts of les petites files. However, emaci ated he-men stood bravely by, enjoying the occasional squeeze of a hand, the encircling protec MEATS and Fancy Groceries for THANKSGIVING G H. RAY Below Strowd Motor Co.

She stalked the man of her heart like the tigers of her native jungle. What a role for glamor ous Joan Crawford! Her X.. t tion of an arm, and the cling ing vine attitude of their com panions which the occasion de manded. For the moment they were all heroes in the most mag nificent sense of the word. And then some dumb yes, it was later discovered that they were freshmen persons spoiled the fun. Armed with pillows and other formidable weapons, they assailed the creature, which was of course a harmless bat about town. After many small boy feints and blows they were rewarded to see their prey flut ter to a softly cushioned chair where it lay down for a few moments before taking up the battle anew. With wild whoops of victory the hunters stole upon the un suspecting victim, taking her (but, no, we cannot believe that it might have been the mother of some innocent little ones wait ing at home for her return from the night club) rather, taking him away into the night, where he wanted to be, of course. Although some of the zoology studes were disappointed not to have viewed the creature in cap tivity, the whole affair was quite entertaining, as long as it lasted. But then, of course, the evening had other attractions for most of. us, and her name was Mary. Professor Giduz To Go To Spartanburg Professor Hugo Giduz, of the school of education, will be in Spartanburg, S. C, during the latter part of this week, to at tend the annual Convention of the Southeastern Modern Lan guages Teachers' Association, of which he is a member.

Here, peaceful readers were quite taken aback by a wild tornado of freshmen, who swooped down upon the card cat alogue in a search for the Wid ow of Nain and scoured the. en cyclopediae in an effort to learn such facts as when the walls of Cartaghene de las Indes were finished. As a matter of fact, the fresh men had not completely lost. their heads. J. W. Posey had sent his students in English 1 on a wild paper ; chase. The purpose was to familiarize the student, with the methods of doing research work at the library. Several times a fight seemed to be on the verge of breaking out between members of differ ent teams . which had been or ganized for the purpose of work ing together. One freshman produced first hand evidence that .John Wesley was supersti tious. Another became disgust- ecf, stating that the library was entirely too large, and proceed ed to show more first hand evi dence, to the effect that Wesley was not superstitious. When the last freshman left the reference room Friday after noon, a strange state of quiet ness and general inertia came into the air, such as the library had not seen for a week.
