Taub Caesar had his Brutus, Napo leon had his Waterloo, and now the Eugenie hat has its Van Dyke! ' Lackaday! It seems that there are a few men, and very serious ones at that, in Everett dormitory who believe in shaving comfort to such a degree that they are go ing to eliminate shaving com pletely. Yes, it's a fact, and in our very midst, too. These, boys contend that if the women can bring back the long dresses and the period bonnets, why can't the men fall back on the old Van Dyke, the side-burns, and the loner, curly, Franz Joseph mus tache? Why ? they asked, why In fact they were so insistent that , your baffled correspondent had to call all his resources to the fore to keep his character istic poise. But the truth is that we could see no reason why the House of David shouldn't have few more; candidates for its baseball team. However, we discretely refrained from that remark. . - , . New Beards Expected With present facilities the combined length of hair on the faces of the bearded ones is not very considerable, but with the new material coming any day now, both distance and volume is expected to improve. But, coming back to the sub ject, the Anti-Shaving league, for that is what they call them selves, is a select organization. It requires for admission to the sacred , circle t only one thing, however, a beard one eighth of one inch long, as the crow flies. In place of a beard, however, the hopeful aspirant may have any sort 'of a -whisker, goatee, or mustache. But the mustache must have, as we have said be (Continued on last page) CHAPEL HILL, N. C WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, Peanut- Throwing A Place In Carolina Traditions Football Helmets and Wash Basins i Peanuts in Pickwick But Peanut Throwing Decreased . With Coming of New Theatre and Depression. o ; By G. C. Berry man J the show for amunition pur "Why does the management poses solely. Back seats were allow the noisy eating of pea-1 nuts in the Carolina theatre?" bewildered visitors to Chanel Hill, generally acknowledged to be the cultural center of North Carolina, are constantly asking. When asked this question, E. C. Smith, manager of the Caro lina, smiled and drew a deep breath. "Well, he began, its a long story " Old Pickwick And it is a long story. Dat ing back to the old Pickwick theatre, when peanuts were bought, not for eating, but for throwing purposes, there has gradually arisen a tradition so powerful and with such strong roots that the present manage ment hesitates before attempt ing to break it. Personally," said Manager Smith, "I don't approve of the students eating peanuts, but most of the students like to eat during the show. The students are our chief customers and we try to please them. Throwing of peanuts is dangerous, how ever, and is not permitted." Peanut-Throwing Days , .Oldtimers, who were in Chap el? Hill during the reign of the oltf Pickwick theatre, tell a graphic and hectic story of the "hell-raising" participated in at that time. Peanuts, acorns. and other objects were taken to Hutchins Outlines Attendance Plans The 775 freshmen who en tered the University of Chicago this fall will have the oppor tunity to participate in the new educational plan. This plan gives freedom to the students, and allows them optional class attendance, such as we have in our law school. They are al lowed to take examinations when they, feel prepared. This plan was outlined by President Hutchins of Chicago university in an address of welcome to the freshman class, in which he also stressed the responsibility of the freshmen for the success of the plan. Woman's Association The Woman's Association will conduct their regular quarterly meeting Thursday afternoon at 5:00 o'clock on the second floor of Graham Memorial building. All women students are request ed to be present. Tar Heel Wants Faculty Subscriptions Times past The Tar Heel has been in. a prosperous enough condition to be able to include on its franking list the heads of -University departments and officials. The desire on the part of a large part of us to have such a paper delivered to our doors six times weekly, and with no appreciable growth in the population of the town and its attendant commerce, the publication of a daily paper here means that all free sub scriptions, except our exchange list, must until more pros perous times be forsaken. We can be criticized for a lackadasical and haphazarded canvassing of the town and the faculty for subscriptions in previous years. This year Mr. Tom Worth, circulation man ager, new at his job and enthusiastic about it, will have de livered to all members of the faculty this publication begin ning Wednesday and continuing for three days free of charge. During this period the members of the faculty will be per sonally visited by him and his helpers in an attempt to secure their hundred percent financial support of this community enterprise at four dollars for the year or one dollar and a half for the academic quarter. , - I Under no consideration will copies be distributed to any persons not paying for it. Even the editor and his assistants as well as the business manager and his are paying for their papers..' ; Once Claimed Were Protection From Flying positions of vantage and were in great demand. Football players wore their hehnents to the movies. Other students carried wash basins or other articles to be used as shields against the flying goob ers. To add to the confusion "pop" bottles were rolled down the aisle after being drained of their contents. Then, the Carolina opened its dooiS. Students attempted to use the same tactics in the new theatre but were firmly, if kind ly, quelled. "Every year," states Mana ger Smith, "the behavior of the students becomes better!." Peanuts Still Popular Although tne uaroima re fuses to go into "big business" by raising the price of admis sion five cents and giving a bag of peanuts free with each tick et, it will, continue to permit students to bring their own pea nuts. The man who resents the peanut-eating more than anyone else, however, is the janitor. Everyday he must remove three big bushel baskets of peanut shells and bags from the floor of the theatre. Freedom of the goober-eaters will continue, then, as long as there are enough peanut-friends to force their habits upon Chap el Hill. V "G" Dormitory Elects Officers For The Year Officers for the year were elected Monday night in Gra ham dormitory under the sup ervision of "Slim" Medford, vice-president of the student un ion. C. H. Atkins was chosen president; Ben Neivile was cho sen vice-president; and R. B. Bar ham was selected for ath letic manager. Following the election of of ficers, student councilmen were selected for each floor in the dormitory. The men selected were: F. H. Lentz, F. L. Joyner, S. A. Barham, John Daniels, George Bryant, and F. E. Arm strong.

In his illustrated lecture at the Carolina Playmakers the atre Monday night, - Professor Fredrick H. Koch outlined briefly his work at the Univer sity of North Dakota and at this University in the realm of play- writing and producing. His talk entitled, "Adventures In Playmaking," was illustrated with over a hundred slides show ing characters and scenes from various plays. Koch began his lecture by pointing out the importance of developing native art and the folk play. A prominent produc er recently made the statement that the Carolina Playmakers and Professor Baker's playmak ers at Yale were the only college dramatic producing groups in America. All the other colleges dramatic organizations are re producing rather than produc ing. They fail to cultivate the talent that is available, in their students and native state. Discovered Maxwell Anderson An example, he pointed out, was tne incident ot Maxwell Anderson, whom Koch once took out of a Shakespeare role be cause he was a bad actor, but his natural bent was along the line of playwriting, and he has (Continued on last page) Duped By Sophs Mystified Newcomer Initiated Into Fictitious Secret Order. By J. D. Window Freshmen continue to be the victims of numerous tricks which their adolescent minds are incapable of discerning from the truth, for the perpetrators of these pranks are upperclassmen who have become calloused in their initiations of unwary and ambitious freshmen into numer ous secret societies." The latest ot these hoaxes 13 the order of the Owls. All the freshmen in a certain dormitory on the edge of the campus were in a fever of excitement over the pleasures of visiting fraternity houses in which they were cor nered and asked for dates to the exaltation of their ego. A certain freshman was of fered the opportunity of signing up with the all-encompassing order of the Owls. Mysterious handshakes and rituals were per formed by the members for his benefit. Indeed, so well was the subterfuge enacted that the lad bit "hook,, line, and sinker," . Midnight was approaching and the hour for the initiation ar rived. .To the far off expanses of Kenan Stadium this initiate was sent. There he was in structed to send up the cry of the hoot owl until the "brothers" were convinced that he was properly appreciative of the or der. As he sent up the cry of the owl, the initiators replied through a megaphone. He re turned a brother in full fellow shipthe first of the 1931 initiates. Awning Fire At 2:15 yesterday afternoon the awning of Randolph-McDonald clothing store caught fire and was practically ruined before-the blaze was finally - ex tinguished by students : working in Pritchard-Lloyd drug store.

COLLEGE OFFICIAL PRAISES VIRGINIA President MacCracken, of Vassar College, in an article in the New York Times' Sunday Magazine section, compared the ideals of English and American colleges, and chose the Univer versity of Virginia as the most typical American university. In the course of his essay, Dr. MacCracken stated that both England and American were much alike in the development of their undergraduate schools, and their comparatively - unde veloped graduate schools The social life, he declares, is highly developed both here and abroad, although here we have social or ganizations such as fraterni ties, and in England the stu dents live mostly to themselves. Universities Contrasted The origins of the university systems here and abroad are quite different, colleges being founded here for religious pur poses, and in England as gilds for masters or teachers, for the purpose of obtaining patrons so they could incorporate as insti tutes of learning. The University of Virginia was founded politically in 1821. Continued on last page) south.
