whether the position held for
a brief year shall be lost, the
work, of building a daily that
has gone on for four or five
years shall come to naught, and
that the Daily Tar Heel shall
slip back a few notches to re

it attained a few years ago 'as

Progress in other branches of
student activities has been con
tinually forward student gov
ernment, class activities, ath
letics, both intercollegiate and
intramural, scholarship and so
cial functions all of these have
moved up, keeping pace with the
advancing needs of the Univer
sity and the idealistic aspira
tions fostered by a twentieth
century move toward enlight-
ment.
It would be entirely out of
keeping with the spirit of pro
gress traditional to one of the
South's greatest institutions to
let slip out of our hands even
one degree of accomplished am
bition, to see the loftiest frame
work of a sky-ward reaching
building blown aside by a slight
puff of pessimistic conserva
tism, and leave to be constructed
anew the upper stories that have
served us well for the past year.
Now is the time for the stu
dents to decide whether we shall
keep ever upward with the work,
or drop back to begin a second
time something that is already
accomplished in a very worthy
manner. B. R.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
believe that the greatest single
factor on the part of student ac-.
tivities, in putting Carolina out
of the small school class into
that of a great University, has
been the issuance of a daily col
lege paper. Indeed, "a success
ful editorial policy," as Mr.
Meyer so aptly expresses it.
If four college publications,
inclusive, of the Yackety Yaek,
have been obtained by the stu
dent body for the small sum of
five dollars, then there should be
little trouble in meeting a finan
cial deficit and in insuring
against such a deficit in future
years.
Sincerely your,
r. b. Mcknight,

A Wise
Regulation
According to a recent ruling
of the undergraduate faculty in
order to be eligible for readmis-
sion a iresnman must pass two
courses in the first two quar
ters, and five courses1 in . the
first three quarters. After the
freshman year, a student must
pass at least one course each
quarter, four courses in two
successive quarters'." The rul
ing does not become 'effective
until the beginning of the win
ter quarter next year. ? J
The rule. is not .another effort
to "tighten up" scholastic re
requirements. During the past
year that tendency Vv has been
noted in the several regulations
passed! With one exception; we
think the regulations, wise .and
think they will tend to eliminate
much of the waste material us
ually found in'a University stu
dent body. In the. rapid expan
sion of the University since 1920
there was little change in ; eli
gibility requirements, but this
year with the building program
practically- completed and with
little or no expansion a general
overhauling of regulations has
been underway. ' ;r
The new ruling will not af
fect those seeking degrees or
those really interested in get
ting an education. But those,
who just go to college, roll , be
forced to toe the mark. Loaf
ing through one quarter with
the idea of making up the work
the next quarter will be rather
difficult. t v : -
But the greatest benefit to
the University will be the eliml
nation of those who are spend
ing four years of idleness here.

Breakfast and a
Paper
Somebody remarked yester
day that if the Daily Tar Heel
should go back to the tri-weekly I
plan he wrould have to subscribe
to some other daily newspaper,
because he couldn't enjoy break
fast without a paper before him
as he was eating. This com-
f ment seems rather significant to
us, however ridiculous it sounds
as an argument in favor of the
Daily Tar Heel and, incidentally,
of the quarterly raise in the pub
lications fees fee of the nominal
sum of thirty-three and a third
cents.
After all, isn't the beauty of
breakfast enhanced as mucli by
newspaper beside a plate as

or a grapeiruit,.' 10 scan uus
front page in search of news
and the Daily Tar Heel does
carry, as a rule, the freshest of
campus news to pick faults
with the editors, and to enter
into arguments and discussions
over the table on why this per
son did this or why that thing
happened these are luxuries
(and really necessities to most
people) which only a daily pa
per, and more particularly the
Daily Tar Heel, can bring daily
to" the table. Even if the Daily
Tar Heel does nothing more
(and it does do more) than fur
nish stimulus to conversation at
the early morning meal and to
start off right the hardworking
undergraduate's day, it is cer
tainly worth the proposed raise
in fee which necessity forces.
Having now become condition
ed to a daily, we personally think
an absence of the Daily Tar
Heel would cause a bad taste in
all our mouths on the mornings
a paper does not .appear. But
this is a consequence we hope we
shall not have to look forward

Readers' Opinions
FAVORS DAILY
Editor the Daily Tar Heel:
Please allow me to commend
the action on the part of student
activities committee to continue
the Tar Heel as a daily publica
tion. I have been a subscriber
to the Tar Heel since the .fall 'of
1910, and in these 20 years,
Prophecy for this week: Pro
fessors will be surprised at the
unusual attendance on classes.
Students will arrive for 8 :30
classes at 8:30. jClose attention
will be paid to the lecturer in all
classes. Exams will be given
the following week.
t t t
The seniors will begin wearing
their regalia tomorrow. Snap
py white sleeveless sweaters will
be the mark of distinction by
which those who have yet to
reach the' eminence of the sen
ior may recognize the mgre ex
alted ones. The absence of
sleeves is to show that there is
nothing up them, and that the
trick of becoming and remain
ing a senior is really quite easy
with nothing magical in it
bulldozing the faculty for four
years isn't magic, its an art.

Echoes of the Playmaker
production of "Romeo and
Juliet" continue. Following
the performance Saturday night,
pictures of the cast were taken.
Sunday afternoon Director El
mer Hall went Hollywood and
took movies of Mercutio's death
scene. The action calls for a
duel with Tybalt, and Vidor De
Mille Hall rehearsed his actors
in the sword-play and death
blow several times without mis
hap. When everything was
ready, the scene was shot. Mer
cutio Koch registered his con
tempt for Tybalt Creuser, while
Romeo Bailey stood by horrified.
Swords were unshipped, and the
fight started. Mercutio received
the blade on his cheek-bone, and
blood began to flow real blood,
not red ink.
f t f
Knowing that this was not in
the script, Mercutio was sur
prised but undaunted and pro
ceeded through his scene to the
end. The blood was stopped
with a handkerchief, and upon
examination later it was found
that the stains had taken the
shape of fairly recognizable dog.
Prof now shows his trophy to all
arid sundry who are interested.
He calls it his bloodhound.
f t t
It is not generally known that
the torches used in the third
scene of the second performance
caused a bit of unforseen
trouble. They were filled with
alcohol just before they were to
be used. In the dark offstage
they were filled a little too much,
so that the excess liquid ran
down Professor Koch's arms and
over the hands of Grace Wil
liams,, who assisted with the
properties. They did not know
At The Carolina
This Week
By H.J. G.
Another fine run of pictures
is scheduled for the coming
week, according to the an
nouncement released by Man
ager'' E. Carrington Smith of
the Carolina theatre.
-
Monday's feature is "The New
Movietone Follies of 1930," fea
turing the famous Swedish character-comedian,
El Brendel.
Brendel has been in pictures
only a few months, but he has
attained immense popularity.
With him in this latest edition
of the Movietone Follies are
Polly Moran and Marie Dress
ier will show the public what it
means to be "Caught Short" on
Tuesday., Miss Dressier, whose
drunken antics on the screen
have won her a place among the
screen's foremost commediennes
is an old war-horse of the cinema
and stage. ' Her entire life has
been spent in the theatre,- the
circus and on studio lots. This
latest picture with her new
teammate is as hilarious as any
she has made.
Al Jolson is here Wednesday
in "Mammy," a picture quite
different from any of his earlier
triumphs. He plays the part of
Al Fuller, an end man who loves
the daughter of the owner of
minstrel show and has more or
less serious squabbles on that
score. Both story and songs are
by Irving Berlin. The support
ing cast includes Lois Moran,
Louise Dresser, Lowell Sher
man, Tully Marshall, Hobart
Bosworth, and Ray Cooke.
For Thursday, Dolores Del,
Rio and Edmund Lowe in "The
Bad One" will be shown. - The
problem of casting suitable
characters for this picture was
a more serious one than the director-producer,
George Fitz
maurice has encountered in a
long career. Because the story
is laid in a vigorous background,
the waterfront cafes of Mar
seilles, France, and later in an
island penal institution, actors of
decided force and ability were
required. For the swash-buckling,
two-fisted American sailor,
whose boast was that he could
make any girl love him, no other
character in Hollywood fitted
better into the role than Edmund
"The Devil's Holiday" star
ring Nancy Carroll, is the fea
ture scheduled for Friday. Ir?
this picture, the star of "Honey"
and "Sweetie,'' both of which
were popular in Chapel Hill, is
a manicurist who wants to be
independently wealthy and live
her own life. But to do-so, she
must indulge in graft by pre
tending to be in love with cer
tain men in order that she can
persuade them to buy products
from certain salesmen and there
By insure her a commission on
the sales.
"The Texan," Paramount's
second great romance of the
Wesf, will be shown at the Caro
lina Saturday. Gary Cooper
and Fay Wray are the stars. 0.
Henry wrote the original story,
"A Double -Dyed ' Deceiver,'
Deceiver, from which "The
Texan" was adapted. It first
appeared in a collection of
stories, "Roads of Destiny," by
the famous author, and popular
acclaim singles it out as one of
the most thoroughly human
pieces from the pen of America's
best-beloved writer. The story
will be recognized as the one
which tells of the adventures of
the Llano Kid, a young bandit,
who is persuaded to go to South
America to pose as the runaway
son of a wealthy and aristocratic
widow. The picture is wTell done
and founds out a week of un
usually fine entertainment.
Med Elections
The Medical Society held its
annual elections Friday at chap
el period. Wilkins was elected
president; Kitchen, vice-president;
Gay secretary and treas
urer; and Victor Moore, chair
man of the program committee.
