Salutatory "We are made of the dust, but so are the stars." To whatever far horizons our unvoiced aspirations direct us, we know that the way is not strewn with roses. We can but set our course, and in the fol lowing of it strive to keep our vision clear. We believe iPlhe moral and economic stability of this State, and that in trial and emergency, as its days are, so shall its ' strength be. We believe in the mission of this University and that upon its anvil the fine metal of youth is being hammered and fash ioned for service and usefulness. We believe in the student body gathered here that it is no group of ultra-sophisticated cynics and philanderers, but an army of recruits in training for all the high and real adventures of life. i We believe in all youth everywhere that out of the struggles and sacrifices of. each successive generation is evolved a fitter finer type, and that just now we are at the beginning of a mighty marshalling of the hosts of those who scorn all preachments of futility and de featism, and who see in the en trenched power of evil not an invincible force to be surrender ed to, but a challenge which gives sustaining and inspiring purpose to all the finer energies of heart and soul. On High School Debating The normally detached andjthis prosecution. This sort of disinterested person, some years removed from the high school degree, places the usual debating practice in the same category with those renditions of "I Have a Rendezvous With Death" which he was wont to deliver with spasmodic gusto and sideline Dromntihsr in the daily assembly. - Undoubtedly the practice has its good points and objectives else the costly and ; state-wide contests would not be urged and continued. Obviously, debating does something towards devel oping poise and social approach in a young person. Too, the fact that the participants enter into the : project with a notable amount of enthusiasm, proves that it is not devoid of benefit or pleasure. Debating teams have been known to have been accom panied by school supporters who whooped and otherwise exer cised their vocal organs almost as much as a cheering section in a football stadium. Whether it is just healthy school spirit or genuine interest in the debate cannot be exactly determined. It is a fact that men are not so easily stirred today as they were in Webster's time when that gentleman moved congress to tears with his speech in behalf of Dartmouth College when he said, "It is but a little college but there are those who love it." More often than not a high school debater is chosen for his oratorical power rather than for his wisdom or general under standing of his subject. What he gets from the discussion is merely incidental. V More often than not the team's advisor is responsible for the fine argu ments advanced. The debate rarely ever works up interest in the topic under discussion. The "steam" behind his words, the effort he puts forward and times he expends on the work is al most always prompted - by a sense of competition. ; What has a debater to his credit after a contest? Possibly a loving cup, a pleasant trip, and a few handshakes with impres sive personages added to his col lection for future reference and to lend some delectable points to his conversations on his re turn. And what has he to his discredit? Nothing more seri ous than the fact that he has de layed a number of college pro fessors from their evening meal. R. L. Criminal Codes A short time ago a judge in Ohio sentenced two young wo men to a reformatory for terms of one to five years, and five to ten years for distributing com munist literature. Although the judge expressed his sympathy for the defendants and although the law wallows a minimum sen tence of one year, he considered the offense of such nature as to make severe sentences advis able. , - T 1 i mm - ' -m jno aouDt the judge was carrying out his duty as a judi ciary ; for such action we com ment him, though we feel that he saw his duty in a rather stern ugnt in imposing sucn severe punishment. It is for the state law which prescribes such pun ishment that we reserve our anathema. These two women were sentenced under a criminal syndicalism law, a product of the fanaticism which followed the war. It is deplorable, though perhaps excusable, that such a law should ever have come into existence. That it should still remain is inexcusable. In imposing the sentence the judge said: "We owe it to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to maintain the pres ent form of government." To our way of thinking there is something distinctly out of taste i MM in connecting the names of Washington and Jefferson with thing harks back to a time which is popularly conceived as anti dating the birth of the Ameri can Republic. The popular fal lacy even goes so far as to as sume that such practices of sup pression were terminated with J that beginning. Obviously .the popular conception is not to be relied upon indiscriminately. We offer no brief for commun ism or any other "ism," but we protest against a situation which permits fanatical groups to so raise a hue and cry against the propagation of a belief that two women must be committed to penal servitude for long terms because they peacefully distri buted a pamphlet, communistic in text. L. B. The Campus By Joe Jones While watching the Jitney Players perform Monday night our enthusiasm for Sheridan, Shep Strudwick, David Elliot, and Miss Cafagna was depressed only by the fact that there were so many empty seats in the thea tre. Of course everybody couldn't know beforehand what a fascinating troupe had come to town, but as we witnessed their "Trip to Scarborough" we couldn't help but feel piqued with that part of the usual Play- maker audience which should have been there to fill the vacant tiers. : : We are not, writing a review; we are simply agreeing with the rest of the audience that the - ...... Jitney Players gave us an eve ning of extraordinary enjoy ment. The various scenes ' of the play were more like the turning pages , of an enchanted picture book than anything we have seen for a long time. Speaking personally, and sin cerely, I know of no group, or ganization or department on the campus to which I would rather toss boquets than the Playmak ers. Whenever I thank my lucky auguries that I came to Chapel Hill to school I do not fail to mention the Playmakers. They and their work have al ways appealed to me as some thing with a soul, if anything may be said to have a soul. Their history is a romance ; they are themselves dealers in dreams. Although there; may be other departments of the University doing a vaster work, none other has the color and appeal of the Playmakers. Per haps it is because the results of their handiwork grow right un der our eyes. It seems to me that whoever goes ' to school here without habitually attending the Play maker Theatre performances is doing himself a wrong. I am speaking merely as a student whose only connection with the Playmakers is the season ticket I buy each fall. I am sure that hundreds of other holders of tickets feel the same way, that not to attend whatever is pre sented by the Playmakers is to miss part of an education at Carolina. - Horace H. Williams Is Seminar Speaker Professor Horace H, Wil liams, head of the department of philosophy, will speak before the mathematics seminar this afternoon on the subject, "The Relation of Mathematics to Theories." ' In his talk, Mr. Williams will discuss the relation of mathe matics to all classes of theories, including those, of philosophy and psycholog AH HEEL TO BE FRANK By Frank Manheim It's swell to be a college stu dent it gives one a great deal of time to read the 'periodicals j and newspapers and last week; there was a great deal of news and comment pertaining to what has been termed "university life." ' ' The most interesting news item was one that received deucedly little publicity con firming the opinion that many hold about the. inefficiency of the "drys" press relations office. In the annual vote of the senior class at Columbia University, presidented by the wet Nicholas Murray Butler, the class ; over whelmingly disapproved of drinking, only a little over thirty students admitting that they drink. Had there been the same vote in favor of drinking, the intrepid wet reporters would have probably sent the news broadside through the country. In the same item, it was said that those boys who resent drinking did heartily enjoy and approve "necking." Which is, well . Something closer to home by way of physical distance was the, in junction that was obtained by the authorities of Lincoln Memorial University at Harro gate, Tenn. Two professors and their wives and the president of the student body were mention ed in the court order, which pro hibited them from "interfering further" with the operation of the University by agitating a strike among students. The strike had been called last week by those mentioned in the in junction and it resulted in the absteritation of more than 415 students from classes! The strike was entered into because four professors had been sum marily dismissed when they at tempted to organize an investi gation and reorganization of the university with a view to rais ing its scholastic standing. The same day that the injunction was obtained, Belle Livingston of New York, who, when accus ed of running a speakeasy, re torted with "the address is really my home. It is simply that I like civilized, delightful, joyous people about. I want something of Rabelais, some thing of Madame de Stael, and the philosophy of "What is It?" and like spirits in my house." When acquitted of the scurril ous charge of maintaining a pub lic nuisance, Miss Livingston cried, "Well, isn't this a silly mess ? Good old freedom let it ring." In a widely syndicated fea ture article, a well known writer stated , that "the clothes clean ing privilege in almost every big-shot collitch is held as a job by the star senior athlete and pays from $2,500 in the soph year up to 5 G's in the senior." All of which does not hold true here! and which necessarily leads one to believe that the University is not a "big shot collitch" or else Walter. Win- chell may be wrong.. In a recent what was hoped to be secret report laid before the League of Nations Welfare Committee, the writer of it (an European woman who . spent some time in the principle Amer ican cities) portrayed the United States as "a country where Pro hibition and. the jazz age are un dermmmg the foundations of the coming generation, a coun try where 50 per cent of the population has no religion and where home life is rapidly dis appearing." To all of which we add our voice to the multitude's! "bunk." Debaters Chosen The varsity debate tryout held Wednesday night in 201 Murphey hall resulted in the selection of W. W. Speight, A. V. Loenstein, and H. H. Hobgoed. These men will represent the University in the second annual Carolina Virginia radio debate, which will be broadcast from Ral eigh on the night of April 25. ' '. ' V Speight and Loenstein were designated to deliver the two Carolina speeches, Hobgood being assigned the task of rendering the rebuttal argu ments. - TOUR T O COMBINE STUDY AND TRAVEL Unique arrangements ; have been made by the committee in charge of the University resi dential tour to France by which it is possible to join the group either as a student or as a tour ist, according; to announcement here. yesterday. ... : The boat will .sail from New York June 4, and will return about September 1. The itiner ary includes all the places of greatest interest in western Europe. It will take members of the party, to Italy, Switzer land, Germany, Belgium, and England. During the sojourn in Ger many the party will have the opportunity of seeing the regu lar performance of the Passion Play at Oberammergau. This performance is perhaps one of the few survivals of the ' old 13th century miracle play; , The period of residence will be spent in the university city of. ' Grenoble, France, where courses may be taken for credit at the Universite de Grenoble. College credit will be given by the University , of North Caro lina for courses taken at Gren oble under the direction of Pro fessor J. C. Lyons of the Uni versity of North Carolina fac ulty. The tour promises study and travel under the best auspices and companionship. Informa tion and prices may be obtained from Professor J. C. Lyons at Chapel Hill.

The alumnus admits , that he has solved the problem, but he further states that the individ ual who submitted the problems to him is not yet satisfied. For this reason the problem has been submitted to the, math depart ment, which passes it on to the readers of the Tar Heel. The problem, which is some what involved isf as follows: Hanging over a pulley is a rope with a weight at one end and a monkey of equal weight hangs at the other. The rope weighs 4 ounces per foot. The com bined ages of the monkey and his mother are 4 years and the weight of the monkey is as many pounds as the mother is years old. The mother is twice as old as the. monkey was when the mother was half as old as the monkey will be when the monkey is three times as old as the mother was when she was three times as old as the mon key was. The weight of the rope and the weight is half as much again as the difference between the weight of the weight and the weight of the weight plus the weight of the monkey. What is the length of the rope? . The professor who received the problem states that if any one so fortunate as to obtain a solution to the problem is urged to communicate with some mem ber of the mathematics staff Because some may feel that CALL FOR j fPFAM 5
