All of which indicates another publicity campaign similar to that before the 1923 conven tions. But this time Republican charges will not go unchal lenged. Seven i Until Seven Not so long ago a grocery clerk slipped back to the meat department to bet a dollar on the results of a Carolina game. The procedure was pathetic, yes, but it was hopeless, too. The chain store clerk, working from seven until seven, couldn't play in the game himself. He coldn't see the game. He couldn't take time off to hear the game over the radio.. All the poor little devil could do was bet on the game, and bet a dollar he couldn't af ford to lose. He had heart enough to stand the grind of athletics. He would have to have, to work in his chain store from seven un- il seven. And he had the love, t i i-i i tor notning eise couia nave prompted his wistfulness as he bet the dollar he couldn't afford lose. Somebody or some thing, fate will do as v. a name, had given him just so much and T -V m 1 : a -I 1 no more, ne naa tne DacKDone, and he had the love. But he hadn't the breaks.. , He was built for sprinting, but working from seven until seven, he would never have a chance at even the preliminaries. V. A.D. Friday, March 27, 1931 OFF TK5 OLD i With Contemporaries 1 i Up To Old Tricks Again For the past . three years we have viewed with interest the political manipulations of the Democratic and Republican parties. Ana until two years ago when the Democrats finally decided that publicity was use ful and opened a publicity bu reau the Republicans had the better of the arguments. , The Republican procedure con sisted, of selecting the leading Democratic candidates and de stroying public faith in them long before the national conven tion. Preceding the 1928 con vention and campaign the Re publican party aided and , abet ted by various organizations pure m voice ana sinister m method, had succeeded in in stilling in the minds of many of our citizens a fear of Mr. Smith that not even facts could eradi cate. And now we A are watching again the same procedure. Gov ernor Franklin Roosevelt, " thought by many toN be the logi cal candidate for the Democratic nomination, has become the tar get of Republican propagandists. They are attempting to align him with Tammany Hall, a well known semi-political organiza tion of New York City. Tam many just now doesn't stand in the high favor of all. Some of its members are facing charges of misconduct in office. Gov ernor Roosevelt has revealed a disinclination to proceed head long on information "furnished by political fanatics. And so he is shielding Tammany, we are told. Unfortunately for the Repub lican publicity agents the Demo crats have a publicity depart ment just about as good as they go. And with the charges A Tennis Treat A few of the students realize what a treat is in store for them during the coming tennis sea son, but the vast majority of the students on the Hill do not realize what tennis talent we will have this Spring to exhibit. Unless something very drastic and unforeseen happens, the University will hate unquestion ably the best collegiate tennis team in the Nation. Those men who will probably be ranked the first four of the six-man team have really accomplished things in the tennis world. They in clude the National Clay Courts champion, the National Junior champion, and two state title holders. To those men who are not devotees of the game, a rare chance is to be had in watch ing men of this calibre in daily workouts ; those who follow the game at all here on the cam pus will of course be out on the courts watching. Carolina is able to boast of a team being recognized as the Nation's best largely through the influence Coach Kenfield has had in attracting to the Univer sity men of such talent. To him should go a great deal of the credit for bringing here a collec tion of the ."Nation's best." A new feather should be added to Carolina's athletic cap by these men in giving us a National Championship. Galen Elliott and a collection of track stars gave us a National Champion ship in another field a short time ago. National Championships are coming more often let's see them come every year! O.W.D. 1 AG3!U?DRYOU H Back in the old days we used to return from the Easter holi days and find that the campus had put on a new coat of green and was all diked out for spring. However, since the faculty has deemed it advisable to change the holidays in order that they: come between quarters, we re turn to the same drab Hill but with the pleasure of seeing the change actually take place. . After the above aesthetic re flection, I shall proceed into the serious business of writing a column. It is going to be ra ther difficult because I was un fortunate enough to lose my notes during the process of mov ing. There are some who should breathe a sigh of relief for I did have some wonderful scandal written on that sheet of yellow paper. Probably the best story since the last appearanqe of Chips has to do with a little affair at the K. A. house a few nights be fore the holidays began. The boys, feeling in a rather playful mood, borrowed a certain young girl's clothing for the night (I, of course, mean her extra dress, etc.) and dressed Billy Lindsay up as a passionate flapper. The nrst venture was only reason ably successful for the onlookers were unable to control their mirth and the cat was out of the bag. Next they called Pete-e Gilchrist, but he knew too much about women and caught on im mediately. The venture was tottering on the verge of failure when Frank Plummer happened (and L mean Happened) in. They told Frank that there was a girl in the next room who was unable to navigate very well, and wouldn't he please see what he could do for her. The story goes that Frank was completely sucked in and was just about to convince the young lady that she should come and take a ride in his car when the lights flashed up, Billy jerked off hisrhat, and Frank made his departure " in haste. That's the story as I heard it. OPEN FORUM A Correction , To the Editor: The last issue of the Spokes man stated that I was a candi date for Treasurer of the rising sophomore' class on the Non Fraternity Party ticket. I wish to publicly state that I have no connection with that organiza tion whatsoever. . (Signed) D. T. PERRY. Coolidge says that boosting taxes depresses wages. Not to speak of the taxpayer. The recent play, Ptaythings, has been an inspiration for numerous letters, petitions, com ments, etc., on the campus. It has even inspired a certain poet to compose a few lines which are given below. The author is anonymous and will remain so. FOURTH DEMENTIA There was a young man named Buttitta Who said, I m the greatest world's beatta, So I'll write me a play And get Paul Green to say, 'No one ever wrote anything sweetta.' It is reported that Co-Ed, Tweet-Tweet Curlee has not been , able to control himself so well in a certain down town drug store. - Which reminds me that Prit- chard-Lloyd's has the cleverest cover on their paper matches I have seen. They are the kind your girl will want to take back to school with her. :- Well, the campus will be flood ed , with Ethel Barry mores, George Arlisses, Greta Garbos, etc. etc. etc. for the next few days. Well do I remember the days of my childhood when I wrote a fan letter to a little high school girl who was appearing in the Dramatic Tournament. From the looks of things this afternoon there will probably be a lot of stage door Jonnies this time. Chicago Again Among all the innovations in Chicago University's curriculum which President Hutchins de scribed in yesterday's New York Times, one is outstanding for its radical implications concern ing university and professional education. This is the "college,"' an entirely new educational unit, which prepares men in an unprescribed period for ad vanced university study or for a professional school. Some plan generally similar to that of the Chicago "colleges" may prove the solution of two pressing problems : the pres ence of uninterested and unfit students in the advanced stages of university work, and the dis proportionate length of time necessary for professional train ing. The "college" takes a step toward solving the first problem by providing a general educa tion for the large group who neither wish nor deserve special ized instruction in the arts and sciences. It avoids the neces sity of persevering through four years merely because "there is no curriculm leading to a digni fied terminus at an earlier period." The solution of the second problem will depend on whether or not the schools of law and medicina are willing to change their entrance requirements. The Chicago "college" will pro vide the general education which, in fairness to the man of limited means, ought to be the condition of admission into a professional school. Special ized academic work does no necessarily increase a man s qualifications for a professional training. Some s satisfactory standard' of achievement and ability - other than the posses - j - Til ' -t ' sion oi a college degree couia surely be found. With many universities em phasizing, as Harvard is, high er learning in the liberal arts, there " is a distinct need for good "colleges" . of the Chicago type. Whether or not such "col leges" do develop the profession al schools would make no mis take in studying some plan for the admission of specially able men who have a general educa tion, even though they, have no degree. Harvard Crimson. sis of intercollegiate competi tion, is its new policy of secur ing athletes for intercollegiate competition. According to l no mas S. Gates, president of the university, varsity football and basketball players are to be se lected principally on the records; made by the varsity candidates in intramural sports. The lat ter will be more highly orga nized than they have been under the former system, it was ex plained. The decision to put an end to scouting" for athletes comes as a natural result of the sweeping changes made at Pennsylvania. Other eliminations include the use of special dormitories for members of intercollegiate teams, the maintenance of the training table which segregated the athlete from the groups of representative students, the practice of making week-end jaunts to expensive resorts to afford the teams rest and recrea tion, and pre-season training. This policy cannot help but af fect the character of future teams representing the institution. The new athletic department has been established at the Eastern school with three sub divisions student health, phy sical instruction and intercol legiate athletics. The members of the athletic department will have the same status as other professors in . the university ; salaries will be based on the same scale, and all decisions made by the faculty of the ath letic department will be review ed by a university faculty com mittee appointed by the presi dent. - Eligibility of a student desir ing to engage in intercollegiate competition will be determined by another faculty committee appointed by the president. Pro visions for financial help for needy students who are parti cipating in intercollegiate ath letics are to be placed on the same basis as provisions for aid to all other needy students. bees Indiana university ha5 of these regulations, and recet changes in the athletic policy t on the part of the Athletic mittee to keep athletics on parity with academic work. Ts stress intramural athletics, how. ever, as part of the physical cational program of the univer. sity would be no infringer upon this policy, it is believed. Many physically capable nes students in the University take little or no part in intramura athletics. Thus far intramural (Continued on last page) ? 4 This Woman's Drama Speaks For All Women!
