A number of University co eds and other girls whose pic tures and statistics are to ap pear in the 1930 Yackety Yack refused to state their ages, whereupon the Yackers listed them all as 22. Can't say that there aren't some charitable men on the Yackety Yack staff.- Tar HeelTic? President Chase -Resigns The announcement of Presi dent Chase's resignation comes as a distinct blow to the Uni versity and to the. entire state. Although most of those con nected with the University were prepared for the announcement, it comes as a distinct shock to many persons throughout North Carolina. A veil of secrecy had been drawn over the negotia tions in order that they might not produce misunderstanding here and in Illinois. During the eleven years that Dr. Chase has served as presi dent of the University, it has undergone marvelous material and spiritual development. Since he became president in 1919 the student enrollment has more than doubled, nine new dormi tories and four class room build ings have been erected. But it is not in material facilities that the greatest development ' of the University has taken place un der President Chase's leader ship. He has been a constant advocate of intellectual free dom, and it is primarily through his influence the University has become famous throughout the nation as a center of liberal thought. A great leader, a man of re markable personal charm and splendid executive ability, Presi dent Chase brought to the dif ficult office of the presidency of the University a combination of talents arid abilities rarely witnessed in one man. He guided the University through a period of "growing pains," of rapid development and constant ly increasing enrollment. There was grave danger that the insti tution would lose sdme of its finest heritages of liberalness and independent thought during this period, but Dr. Chase suc ceeded in retaining and even in increasing those intangible pos sessions which may be either the greatest attributes or the most objectionable features of an educational institution. It was inevitable that a larger and more wealthy institution should succeed in inducing Dr. Chase to resign his position here. His qualities and abilities have attracted national atten tion, and it was a foregone con elusion that the University would not be able to offer him a salary commensurate with his services. But it is with keen est regret that students, facul ty members, alumni all those who make up the great body of University people witness the occurence of the inevitable. The City Fathers Further Restrict "Bumming" Chapel Hill's city aldermen have passed another ordinance, designed in general to promote safety, but more specifically to curb "bumming." All cars stop ping to pick up students must pull over to the right curb be fore stopping. A ruling passed last year prohibited students from standing in the street; they must stay on the curb. We fail to see the necessity for the new ordinance. If a man decides to stop to pick up a stu dent, he will necessarily look around before stopping; if it is necessary, he 'will pull over to the curb. If no car is coming, he may stop in the street. But under the new rule all cars must pull over to the curb and stop. Many motorists in a hurry will not take the trouble to do this; the result will be m that "bum ming" will be seriously - ham pered. Much objection to "bumming" has been voiced by the bus com panies, motor clubs, insurance companies, and bad - natured drivers. If a man sees fit to give a college boy a lift on the highway, it is nobody else's business but his own. If those who do not want to pick up boys ride on, there is no hard feelin ! THE DAILY j Many traveling men are pleased j to have a companion and often j ' TIT nr 1TT TinTTC? fT-io-rr tti 1 1 nnnw to do so if not hampered by a lot of unnecessary rules. In passing the new ordinance affecting "bumming" the city fathers did not take the view point of the students into con sideration. We feel that any effort to curb bumming is a trespass upon the rights of the students and the privileges of motorists. The less restriction we have the better. J. D. M. A Rare Combination Much has been said in recent yeare about the remarkable progress the University has made during the last decade. Not only has it several times doubled the size of its student body, and greatly; increased the number of its buildings, but its fame as one of the intellectually select colleges of America has traveled up and. down the conr tinent. And just as progress inevitably spells,. the decline of tradition, so the TJni vers jty, durr ing its journey toward renown and higher usefulness has per haps lost some of that provin cial charm which we are told once characterized it. But has it lost anything it could not afford to lose? It is true that the ancient Carolina custom of yelling "Fire!" every time a woman sets foot on the campus has almost died out, and that the freshman rock pile out at Piney Prospect has been turned into a magnificent spoon ing bench for the co-eds and their swains. All the students aren't personally acquainted with each other any more, and the hello habit has about gone out of style here. Cows are no longer hoisted to the belfry of Old South, hazing is not what it used to be, and there isn't any compulsory 7 :30 a. m. chapel as there once was. If the dying out of such things as these rep resent the victory of progress over tradition, then good-by and Godspeed to tradition! Of course time and growth have pushed aside a few of the old phases that were really worth keeping. A prominent member of the faculty declared at a class smoker last spring that the fiber of the student body was not as strong as formerly, and that there seemed to be a grow ing lack of support of honesty ! among the students. That such changes as these should accom pany the growth of the Univer sity is indeed lamentable. But the truth of the matter is that this University hasn't really lost its ancient charms and tra ditions. We have been fortun ate enough to become a large and efficient school and at the same time to preserve most of the desirable attributes of a small school. It is a rare com bination. Old South, within whose walls roomed James K. Polk, is still here; and so is Old East, the oldest building on the campus of an American stafe university. A replica of the Old Well still sentinels the center of the cam pus. Not far from it stands Davie Poplar, and most of the students know its story. Even today there are students who can tell you about the myth of Dromgoole Rock. There are many other reminders of the University's ancient past. Phillips Russell, returning to Chapel Hill after 25 years ab sence, says that the village is handsomer and neater than it was in his day, but that a rural breath still runs through the streets. We strongly suspect that Chapel Hill, of all the towns in the state, is among the last to retain a measure of their former interest and quaintness, and that the University has done a marvelously good job of carry ing her past in one hand and her future in the other. J. J. TAR HEEL j Readers' Opinions i i . I r - NO SPREE! Editor the Daily Tar Heel: People who throw stones should not throw boomerangs. We are referring to a paragraph run in Mr. J. E. Dungan's column called "In the Wake of the -News" yesterday. Therein Mr. Dungan claimed that wTe had been on a spree. - Now, the title of the column itself is an indication of the value of the reports he prints in it. Mr. Dungan is apparently very, very far in the wake of the news. And the facts are just exactly opposite to those stated. . We admit (and trust the stu dent council will not see this) that we had had a Coca-Cola or so and perhaps even a pretzel. But we did this thing for a pur posethe purpose of keeping Mr. Dungan himself on. the straight and narrow path. We wished our example of appar ently enjoying soft drinks to aff ect Mr. Dungan in such a manner that he would, quit en joying such hard drinks as lime water, and ammonia. At the time of which Mr. Dun gan wrote, we were, accompany ing him down Franklin street. He will not deny, we are sure, (and numerous observers will corroborate) that he was reel ing around the sidewalks, wav ing his arm, laughing in an exaggerated manner, and was extremely and generally obstrep erous. In Patterson's Drug Store we were very much embar assed by his inebriated behavior, and did our level best to save his good name, by keeping as quiet as possible. Our thanks for all this? A public accusation that we had been imbibing dopes too freely and shamelessly eating pretzels. We did, put as we have pointed out, to shield Mr. Dungan. Mr. Dungan shall go unshielded henceforth. F. J. M. H. J. G. STUDENT ROWDINESS Editor Daily Tar Heel: Is the Carolina theatre to de generate into an atmosphere similar to the old "Pickwick" one of extreme boistreousness and rowdiness, so much so that elder people felt great compunc tion) in going? Recent exhibi tions at the "Carolina" seem to justify this. Students yell, hiss, boo, and generally make asses of themsleves on numerous oc-. casions of late, especially a pic ture possessing, shall we say, "faint suggestion." The Carolina student body must fast realize that it does not hold as high esteem in gen tlemanly conduct, as it is prone to believe. The late display of frightful rudeness and poor sportsmanship at the Duke Carolina game is to be heartily condemned and held up to the student body as a blotch on its escutcheon. I ask that one or two per cent, whatever it may be, who, thru their own thoughtlessness make it unpleasant and embarrassing to others, realize their position as members of the Carolina stu dent body. C. C. D. Ferger Speaks at Commerce Banquet A smoker was held by the local chapter of Delta Sigma Pi, commerce fraternity, at its chapter house on Tuesday eve ning. Professor Ferger of the commerce school faculty gave the talk of the evening. Professor Ferger spoke on "The Situation in India." After tracing the history of the pres ent movement in that country, he showed what the actual con ditions are and why they are so. Professor Ferger has spent sev eral years in India. REfiMSCENSES From the Tar Heel Files By Howard M. Lee 25 Years Ago This Week Washington's' birthday was celebrated at ? the University. Speeches were made by several prominent speakers of the state. The Tar Heel carried an an nouncement that the editor-in-chief had been admitted to the Advisory Committee of the Uni versity. University officials announc ed that Representative Henry S. Boutell of Illinois would de liver the commencement ad dress. A bill was introduced into the Tennessee legislature making the playing of football a felony. There was a total of 50,624 students in the fifteen largest colleges in the United States. The University of Japan an nounced that it' would send' a baseball team across the Pacific to play Leland' Stanford in San Francisco. ' ' ' , ' 10 Years Ago This Week Smith bubding won the dor mitory championship in basket ball. The Davie Poplar was capped with concrete to prevent further internal decay. ' Plans for the Intercollegiate Triangular Debate were com pleted. The participants were Carolina, Washington and Lee and Hopkins. The Pickwick theatre opened for business after having been closed on account of influenza. Colonel Palmer inspected the R. O. T. C. Lieutenant-Governor O. Max Gardner spoke at the Univer sity. 5 Years Ago This Week Carolina won the state "cham pionship in basketball. The remodeling of the U, C. S. P. power plant was completed. The smokestack is 150 feet high and has a flue diameter of eight feet. - The Alpha Tau chapter of Al pha Kappa Psi, national com merce fraternity, was installed at the University. The Presbyterian Ministers' Association of Charlotte dis patched a letter to Presidents Chase assailing the U. N. C. "Journal of Social Forces." Sartorial Sway By . Beau Gent . (What with all the "brick bats and bouquets" being thrown at us, we wish to say that our name is NOT Beau Gent. It must be some other guy.) Wq, were t in Greensboro the other ay an:d met our uncle who is a salesman for a jewelry con cern m New York and we gained some very valuable-information, for which we herbv dfvlnr our formal -thanx. "' Clark has put out some very nifty little lighters upon which you may have your college col ors embossed. And, if you like, a monogram. The Prince of Wales and his cronies have heralded the return of the stick pin for scarf wear. Everyone is making a dash for the jewelers. - For those of you who intend to wear collar pins or have been wearing them we recom mend them in the form of your favorite hobby. They are avail able in forms of golf clubs, base ball bats, riding crops, fishing rods and rifles. No, there are none in the form of a playing card. ' ; . '" ' . , ' ---. : - . A . Bill clips in the shape of a Friday, February 21r 1930 dollar sign are circulating too. These may alsq be moulded in the shape of a dog, bird, plane, or any other thing that you care to order. Painted crystal cuff links are the style now for d$ y wear. These too may be expressive of your hobby. They have base ball players, football players, fishermen, aviators, golfers, swimmers and even card play ers pictured on them. Tie clips are coming back too. The kind that tear your ties are gone altogether. The new ones slip on in the same manner that your Swank pin. does. The newest wrinkle in the line of watches is one that folds into a little leather case when not in use. It is about the size of a match box and is made of leather which is generally pre ferred or metal It resembles a cigarette case and slips into the vest pocket. ' r ' Wrist-watch bands are coming in with larger links. There is a model in brick formation, that seems to be taking the south by storm. The average man wears a high school, fraternity, college, or club ring, but it would be well for those of you who do not to see the new rings on the mar ket. They "are made of three colors of gold. The red cop per color, white, ordinary, and mtique green golds are combined with astonishing success. They appear to be very heavy but are of less than ordinary weight and should prove to be a favor ite with those who do not wear rings because they are annoyed by the weight on their hands. These rings make fine brass knuckles and may sometime be very useful, (sic). The most gratifying piece of news that it has yet been the good fortune of this writer to uncover is the fact that a few days ago, no less than 17 pairs of spats were seen on the cam pus. And we are assured that no pair was counted twice! When we began this campaign for "better and better dress" we could count no more than seven pairs. THAT is what we call success! The addresses of the com panies where articles reviewed may ,be bought will be submit ted upon written request. New York's recent cold spell, we read, .took the city by sur prise. All the more so, we imagine, because it was pre dicted in the press. c A R O L :eN" A THEATRE TODAY A Woman's Tragedy All Music .
