Hamilton, Jr., Wednesday, December 4, 1929 A Crucial Period in the Loyalty Fund Campaign Yesterday the Alumni; Loyalty -bund officials inaugurated drive in Chapel Hill which may have a profound effect upon the future development of the Uni versity. Under the direction of Felix A. Grisette, who recently oullccucu umi vjrrairc as director of the fund, an attempt is be ing made this week to secure participation of every Univer sity alumnus in Chapel Hill in the Loyalty Fund campaign. Unless the Chapel Hill alumni respond unanimously, the most ' optimistic of Loyalty s Fund ad vocates can hardly expect alum ni in this and other states to contribute substantially to the fund. The local alumni are more familiar with the needs of the University than any others, of course.-'' They are a part of the University community itself ; therefore it is especially impor tant that they contribute, even though their contributions may be inconsiderable m actual fig ures, to the Loyalty Fund cam paign, the success or failure of which will determine to a great extent whether the University will continue its program of ex pansion and development. The head of a leading western university stated' recently that "It is coming to be an accepted corrollary of public education that state support does not nec essarily mean the absence of private support, and 'that insti tutions which are drawing rev enues running into millions of aonars irom r the , public may nevertheless seek additional funds from private sources. In-i deed, state university executives are coming to the ; conclusion that legislative appropriation will always lag behind actual needs, and that the only solution of the state university financial problem, is the appeal for. addi tional support from; those public-spirited citizens who are in terested in the progress of edu cation." ....... . The above statement is indica tive of -the attitude that has come to be widely accepted by state university alumni through out the country, Most of the leading state universities have been enabled to reach their finest development during the past few years through private resort to similar means' if they are to. encourage and stimulate the growth of the institution, which cannot Teach the front rank -without the assistance of the alumni. Hence the drive among Chapel Hill alumni this week is especial ly significant. It marks a cru cial point in the progress of the Alumni Loyalty Fund .and therefore in the "future of the tTniversity, which is inextrica bly linked with the success or failure of the fund. Increasing Friendship Between Duke and Carolina In the recent discussion of the relations between Carolina and Duke students that lias been carried on in the columns of the two student papers, the sanest attitude yet exhibited by either group of. "students. . has been shown. . Discussions . such as these will do much '. toward bringing about a iriore cordial and , more friendly relationship between .the two institutions. For the purpose of improving the present conations we have, a suggestion to oiler. It has long been the custom of the V. P. I. and V. M. I. sen ior classes to have a joint ban quet on the evening following the annual V. P. I. - V. M. I. football game. The student papers of the two institutions have stated that nothing has has been more instrumental in moulding a desirable and satis factory relationship between the student bodies of the two schools than these annual ban quets, At such affairs the football teams are guests of hon or. f Speeches s from each class explain me lueais 01 me two m stitutions ; and the customary fun and rivalry make a first rate entertainment. As the Carolina-Duke f ootbal game is becoming to be more of classic each year, attracting larger crowds," and stirring up more interest among the'stu dents, it is at this time of the year that the rivalry and friendship or bitterness between the two institutions is f e!t most keenly. School spirit, if we may use so prosaic a term, is at its height during the week of the game. . . . And now we would suggest that some plan be worked out whereby the senior class of Duke and the senior class of Carolina might have a joint banquet following the annua game. The expenses could be shared jointly, and the place al ternate each year as the foot ball game does. We believ; such an affair would not only erase much of the unpleasant feeling now existing between the two schools, but would be a positive influence in.v bringing about better understanding md greater friendship between the two universities. J. D. M. Readers' Opinions AN EXPLANATION Editor the Daily Tar Heel: As author of an article in a last week's issue of the Tar Heel, I wish to apologize to the mer chants of Chapel Hill for an at-' tack on them regarding the ordi nance sponsored by them for the banishment of undesirable sales men ,,from the streets of the town. . Through misunderstanding of the article explaining the ordi nance, I drew the wrong conclu sion.' The article in the Tar Heel seemed to give the mer chants alone the privilege of selling, the articles mentioned in the ordinance. Through an ex planation, I. have found this not to be the objective. I find it to be an act for the. protection rather than a hindrance to the ic r.y I self-help student, and I am sure that it deserves cur full support, A STUDENT, THE GOOSE GIVER IS LOCATED Editor the Daily Tar Heel: I wish to express my indebted ness to you for publishing my inquiry regarding the identity of the person who recently brought a wild goose to my house and left it with his name and ! compliments. The name never reached me. A few days after my inquiry appeared in the Daily Tar Heel, a friend who had read it gave me the required clue. It is through your courtesy in ex tending the freedom of your col umns to me for this inquiry that I have been enabled to locate the mysterious donOr, Charles Kist ler of Morganton, an old friend and former student. ARCHIBALD HENDERSON. "J." D. SEEKS REDRESS Editor the Daily Tar Heel: ' I seek redress ! My good char acter has been impaled. I do not claim to be a pure white character is black and j de mand proof. With all due respect for the veracity of my accusers' state ments, I should say not that my character is black, but that it is that each of us will have a good not white. Or, rather, that it is slightly smudgy. And whose, I ask, is not? Point out to me a man who is perfect in charac ter and you point out to me a corpse, i I am accused of being the per petrator of objectionable rim rolling activities and of "inane ly washing dirty linen" before you. I beg to differ on both counts. The din-craving rim roller, writh whom I seem to have been confused, is a neighbor of mine incidentally, another "nincompoop" and the "inane washing of dirty linen" was in vain. Despite the vehement denial of my charge that we possess more than our share of mentally deficient Carolinians, or per haps, as a gesture of defiance, there was another fire on the ground floor of "J" on the very night that the vigorous rebuttal was being prepared. The committee in charge of this second piece of tomfoolery showed a sufficient amount of intelligence to warrant the granting of the w. k. rising vote of sitting i thanks. They re served enough presence of mind to throw the flaming receptacle out on the campus. If I am not mistaken, the triumvirate re sponsible for the article in de fense of the "nincompoops" were elated spectators of, if not active ! participants in the questionable revelry. I trust that my statements will not again be misinterpreted. I do not accuse the entire dor mitory of being asses not by any means. There are a num ber of us who relish decorum and this lends us a certain cachet among the J's, for we are few and far between. I j. D. District Racketeer Forces Playmakers To Pay In Cash (Continued from page one) allegedly drunken men had died, then Driver Daniel would be held on a technical charge of manslaughter. Police said charges could not be filed against the two men in the sedan under New York laws unless one of them was so drunk that he could not walk. There is no snppr, imit on 110th street, the Play- makers were told. After hours of delay one policeman finally aided Koch and Heffner in locating another bus owned by Joe Leeberman, racketeer chief ' of that neigh jborhood for the past 20 years" Alt Hbfcl He demanded amount for his 1 an excessive unheated bus and j would not release it until the actual cash had been wired for and placed in his-hands. After arrangements had been made for a bus from Raleigh to meet the troupe at -Washington, the Playmakers pushed on. Bidding good-bye to the gang ster's bus at Washington, the Chapel Hill people piled into the bus from Raleigh and set out for Richmond, Va. However, after traveling a few miles a valve on this third bus broke down and the party was further delayed on the trip while it was repaired. At Farmville, Va., the play ers arrived ahead of their scen ery which had been entrusted to a negro truck driver. Curtain time came and no scenery was in sight. After delaying a while, one play was given to the audi ence without scenery." More time was taken up by Miss Wolf personifying a mountain , girl and singing a number of moun tain songs for the crowd. Final ly the"scenery arrived two hours late and the negro in a drunk en condition. The Farmville night watchman locked the tru ant truck driver up for the night, and the Playmaker offi cials appeared in court the next morning against him. Accordingly, from Wednesday morning until Friday night, the gallant troupe of Playmakers had been riding in blisses almost continually from Boston to Farmville, Va., without even time to change their clothing. "Not a disgruntled sound from the fine people with us," said Professor Koch, "which is cer tainly a tribute to friendship." Miss Bailey's long , play of "Job's Kinfolks" was universally liked especially for - its true characterization. Mrs. Coffin's "Magnolia's Man," according to those on tour, was a complete hit everywhere. The Playmakers were seen in five new cities. They played to a wide variety of audiences and people: university folks at Bos ton; Baltimore for the third time ; a hastily arranged stand at Hartford, Conn., in a theatre that had once been an old church and in which the stage sloped to the footlights from the back; big theatres and small ones which seated only 200 peo ple. They went the farthest north of any time during their 24 tours. They were presented before five dramatic organiza tions at Hartford. Frank P. Al len, governor of Massachusetts, received them in his office and greeted them warmly. Among the playwrights who saw their bill in New York City were Anne Bridgers who wrote "Coauette." and Hatr.hpr Hughes.' Among New York pro ducers in their audiences were Kenneth MacGowan, Charles Wagner and Mr., and Mrs. Charles Douville Coburn. Dramatic critics in New York City who viewed their produc tions included Montrose Moses, Sheldon Cheney and Roland Holt; while among the publish ers were Will D. Howe of Scrib- ners and Frederick Croft. Among former Carolina stu dents and actors who are now on the boards of Broadway in New York City, earning their livings by acting are Al Kahn whose professional name is "Al Kerr," Penn Harrison, Helen Dortch, Mary Dernberger, Ernest Thompson and P. L. "Lee" El more. The Playmakers were warmly greeted by all of these old friends. It was by far the most ex tensive journey of the Carolina Playmakers since that nationally famous group was founded by Professor Koch, and by all means it was the most thrilling and eventful, The troupe arrived back in Chapel Hill Sunday afternoon tired but happy. Virginian- Pilot Says Carolina Press Has Liberal Viewpoint A" recent editorial in the Nor folk Virginian-Pilot comments on "A Virginia Book From a Tar Heel Press." The reference is to the publication of Dr. Alex ander Bruce's "The Virginia Plutarch" by the University of North Carolina Press. It is gathered from this arti cle that Virginia and Carolina are rivals in other fields than that of athletics. At least, this is an attitude-that some people of that state have assumed, and which the Norfolk . paper considers - "fundamentally paro chial." The editorialist says in part: "For the state of Virginia or the University of Virginia to"feel either resentment or." jealousy against the University of North Carolina .Press . . . is to intro duce the psychology of football rivalry in a "field where it has no place. Not only are the North Carolina Press and "The Vir ginia Plutarch" knit in the com mon bond of the Republic of Letters which knows no fron tiers and erects no tariff walls, but both are a part of a con certed effort Virginia and Caro lina are making to construct a more significant civilization in the south. "This, then, is an ideal time for Virginians generally to take note of the fine pioneer work that the North Carolina Press has done and is doing." Speaking of "the co-operation between J Charlottesville and Chapel Hill . . . whifch . . . has been continuous" thes article concludes by stating that the "far-famed : Virginia. Quarterly Review, in which the Press fre quently advertises and which often publishes the work of North Carolina scholars, and the Press "have assumed that there was no room for cultural rival ry between the commonwealths" and that all other Virginians may assume the same with a con siderable bit of self congratula tion that an institution is wait ing at the University of North Carolina to (publish an eminent volume of Virginia biography.

RADIO STATinv GETS LICENSE RENEWED The University radio station W4WE, has recently secured annual renewal of its license from the Federal Radio Com. mission. Under the license which was issued in the name of Professor George F. Bason head of the department of elec trical engineering, the station is given permission to operate with three types of transmit sion apparatus, including tele, phone, and on all wave lengths open to amateurs. The license this year was re. newed in the name of Professor Bason so that the station could retain its old call-letters. Un less this had been done, it would have been necessary to change the call letters, for the radio com mission is assigning all stations at technical1 schools call letters beginning with the letter Y.
