Saturday, October 17, 1931 A Post Season Charity Game Numberless persons in this as well as other universities will during the' winter and spring sessions be compelled on account of financial conditions to retire from the pursuit of their edu cations. Among them may well be, for there have been in the ,past, embryonic governors, business-leaders, social workers, sci entists, and literary men. Rath er than send them back to their plows and mills half educated and misanthropies it serves the . nation far better that- they be all educated so that those latent abilities which some possess may be allowed to flower. Not believing that a depres sion can exist when those who have cornered wealth permit money, to flow with ease in com merce, and knowing full well that as long as there be talk of panics and depressions these same people, will retrench and refrain from spending, we have come to the decision that the only manner in which v unem ployment among students" and the attendant lack of the where withall to educate themselves can be alleviated is through charities dressed up in fine clothes and which cost nothing. And so, after this long preface, xThe Daily Tar Heel at the ex cellent suggestion of Colonel W. D. Harris proposes that the var sity football team engage in "a post season game, the first week in December, the net profits of which would be used as loans by the Alumni Loyalty Fund to worthy students unable to re main in the University. Many are dissatisfied with the tie result of the University of Florida game and feel that, with a successful season, the Tar Heels and 'Gators could draw a crowd of twenty thou sand for a return game. Other opponents likely to attract large gates would be Alabama, Tulane, or Duke in a second game. Carolina's proportionate share of the gate, were twenty, thou sand to attend, would be ap proximately $15,000. Seventy five Tnen could be loaned $200 each, one hundred and fifty $100 each, etc. ' Not only would this benefit the University but the same use could be made by the other party to the contest. We realize that it is easy enough for The Daily Tar Heel to propose a post season charity game, but the idea is sound and, it is our most sincere desire that the Athletic Council, the admin istration, the coach, and the players consider such a move. To Arms Ye Crusaders A vigorous drive to boost the membership of the "Crusaders," anti - prohibition organization, among college students, was launched recently by heads of the group in a wholesale expan sion movement that is planned to thrust the multiple evils of the "inglorious experiment" be fore the young bloods of this great and powerful nation. Publicity stunts that will match the ballyhoo of the most adept circus barkers and aspir ing corn-fed politicians are be ing hatched to awaken the 1 1 younger generation ana per- . i - sua(je it to hoist the banner aloft and storm 'the tottering gates' f t t 1 j j- xl J T T-l,; I 01 voisieauia, me iiiuuem viyyia of Capitol Hill. This move has gained ground in the east, for several days ago word was flashed through the front line v trenches that Nicholas Murray Butler, presi dent of Columbia university, and Dean Mendell of Yale and Presi dent Hibben of Princeton had assumed a portion of the re sponsibility for the course and had urged their students to join. It will be interesting to note the influx of the movement to Southern colleges and universi ties, should such come to pass. Are we, who have long been har rangued by editorial writers and liberals entreating us to assume a similar portion of government al responsibility as the Oriental scholar takes upon himself and deploring our conservatism, to don the equipage of the Crusad ers and right the wrong done to "our boys while they were in the trenches"? D.C.S. Public Opinion And War Japan has twenty battleships placed up the Yangtse and in the China seas at strategical points to "scare" the Chinese. Japan has bombed Marshal Chang's new : Manchurian capi tal. She has taken Mukden. She has ignored China's diplo matic appeals and called (them ultimatums. In .a word Japan has been a rank aggressor and a calculating invader of China. Her designs now are by no means temporary. She refuses to do business with the "inef ficient" Chinese government and will do business with Manchuria direct. The defunct Manchurian administration is incapacitated by the direct violence of Japan ese arms and so Japan will set up her own Manchurian gov ernment. It is likely that the f eeble Manchu Prince Pu Yi will occupy the Manchurian throne as King of Manchuria and limp marionette of Japanese war office fingers. And still the world is unwill ing to express in strong terms any opinion on the situation. There is no doubt as to the moral responsibility of the pres ent crisis. It can be placed On the Japanese alone. The whole drama was obviously staged many times in the minds of Japanese military leaders be fore it actually occurred. Yet world opinion that presumably should stand for peace and just ice remains adamant and silent. Secretary Stimson has said that 'an Asiatic war would have far graver consequences for4 the United States than did the World War. No doubt diplo matic steps from this side of the Pacific should be taken only af ter careful consideration but meanwhile Japan is reinforcing her military position in China. Will Rogers was tragically true when he said that it seemed THE DAILY that the League and forces for international idealism were fair- ly effective with the little birds, but when the big powers were involved they were hopelessly ineffective. The present crisis in Manchuria is a test of ex treme significance of the forces for peace in the world. A wide awake American sentiment in the present situation may help to avert an ominous situation in the east and will certainly make the public more cognizant of the terrifically dangerous possibili ties of war and help to make them aware of their responsibil ity in averting its horrors. R.W.B. ; Consider The Grass Who started this poetical cus tom of wandering "o'er the smooth enameld green, where no print of step hath been"? A moment after each class bell rings, Saunders and Murphy pour out their swarm of ants to cover the campus below South building, and between times a mere few dozen wander aimless ly on the grass, completely ig inorant of the fact that the State has provided a system of walks such as the v are. for the sole purpose of being walked upon Two years ago, when paths were being worn across the cam pus in several places, there was a great to-do about it; meetings were held, signs were painted, paths were dug up and properly manured, and for a time the students were aware that "smooth enameld green" wasnot one with pioneer trails across it. Now. however, a new cult of lawn-strollers has sprung up and the many tramping feet will make our green grass brown be fore its time, by inducing a sort of synthetic Fall. The object is not to "compel'1 students to keep to the desig nated walks ; the 1 point is that smooth uninterrupted expanse of green lawn is decidedly more attractive than patches of bare earth interspersed with futile patches of grass Even if they are not' conscious of beauty, stu dents are at length made aware of it when the attractiveness of pthincr beautiful is taken away and the corpse left behind The same applies to our campus We could have fines and signs and fences, but who wants them? It is easier to hesitate and think about these things before walking on the grass than to have unpleasant conse to thoughtless acts. Keep off the grass! A.J.S. Pay The Doctor And Teachers Last At intervals during the study hours at night, we are immense ly annoyed by having the names of those students who have tele- nhonp; calls bawled at us from below. We do not wish to Criticize those, who do the bawl ing ; we simply wish to state that it is annoying arid suggest that private telephones be installed in each room. We not only suggest such a move, we think that it is only right and reasonable that it be carried out. Harvard has this necessity to privacy ; so why shouldn't the University? The difference - is that Harvard has a plan by which it draws its wealthy alumni to the extent of a million or so dollars. Why doesn't the University use such a plan? The answer is that it does. Its graduates have been more than generous to it. Especially of late, during the depression, have they come to the front. The gifts of the Graham Memorial building, the new music auditorium, the More-head-Patterson bell" tower, and any number of other smaller contributions are evidence that alumni have not forgotten the University entirely. Why then don't we amass a huge endowment? The answer is 'that an endowment grows not TAR HEEL out of the gifts of a single per son, but from that of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of alumni. Furthermore, these alumni must be wealthy, for they cannot put the University before every thing else. But the University has but a few wealthy grad uates. " ; Why has the University so few graduates of sufficient means to aid it? Beceause it has devoted itself to the education of the people of North Carolina, with out catering to the rich. Be cause it has always stood for that which it believed to be to the best advantage of the people, regardless of whether or not it may- have held back those stu dents who have had more ad vantages of preparation. Why then must the University go without sufficient funds to carry on the work of its library the very core of its existence? Why must students be called upon to purchase reserve books for use in sophomore and fresh man courses. After the sacrifi ces that the University has,made for o'thers, why cannot some other department be sacrificed by the budget commission than that of the public education ? Some years ago, a certain rayon company spent thousands of dollars in advertising its product. After a year, the work ers struck. The owners and managers locked up and depart ed in a huff, thereby wasting all of the money that they had spent in building up a trade. Simil arly, the budget commission is cutting everything in a panic. It does not. stop to estimate the eventual cost of the cuts. It has been very ably said, "We are too poor not to edu cate." Surely, the interference with the work of the University library is as serious a danger to education in the state as can well be imagined. Thoughtful re ductions in the State and Uni versity budgets are all right and in keeping with the times, but riotous and unplanned slashing will eventually cost-more than it will save. P.W.H. Lines of Least Resistance By JAMES DAWSON Aestnete: an excrescence on the flitterati. Co-ed: the modern edition of the mediaeval nun ; a lady, usual ly young, who is locked up at 10:30 in Spencer hall in a vain attempt to preserve her half of the Christian paradox, virgin ity. Column: a vehicle for a joy- ride of the ego, designed to give vent to the author's pet peeves, and pleasure to no one. Grat: a class you pay for but don't get. High-hat: given to the prac tice of despising one's superiors. m Neck: to arouse, by means of the tactile senses, sexual de sire with no hope1 or thought of fulfilment; to be stupid. Pipe: the crowning glory of the undergraduate male; the symbol of masculinity resorted to by beardless sophomores. Pipe-organ: an instrument of torture whose price and size are so great that the process of be ing driven mad thereby cannot be done , in one's home," as with a saxophone. . Reviewer: a Sadist whose thrusts at drama are provoked by torture at the hands of other Sadists known as actors, Play makers, Thespians, etc. Quotation : an excerpt of three or iour lines irom Alexander Pope or E. A. Poe, used by the Carolina Magazine to fill space at column ends; a platitude. Student Government: the privilege given to a student body by which it elects to campus of fices certain personable and in capable men. Oh yeah: an interjection meant to convey disgust, disap proval, approval, disbelief, in short,' anything; commonly heard from very young ladies in answer to any well-meant compliment; the last word in campus sophistication. a reddish liquid. Tea: served hot in unmanageable cups ; a gathering at which one stands or sits with one's hands full of cups, wafers, etc., and is" abid ingly uncomfortable. ' Motherhood: the other half of the Christian paradox. Criticism "Less than one per cent of all instruction given by American colleges and universities is de voted to subjects designed to pre pare the future business, execu tive to deal with problems of marketing aiid advertising," ac cording to a survey just com nleted bv the Bureau of Re- x. "search and Education of the AdT vertising Federation of Amer ica. alma mater does a good job in general business training but falls far short of, giving suffici ent instruction in the funda mental subjects in modern com modity distribution and sales." And again we have a pungent bit of criticism from the practi cal business man who seems only too willing to teach us what the college curriculum lacks. They cannot seem to appreciate the fact that colleges do not intend to teach a trade. It is true that most business men criticize the universities on the grounds of lack of practical courses, but is equally true that w have many critics, usually outside the realm of the commercially minded, who critisize the universities on the basis of being too practical. Whom shall the educators heed? Shall we' be taught the so-called practical courses or shall .we become familiar with the subjects that will give us a broader foundation upon which we can built a practical knowl edge? - Experiments are being con ducted on many campuses in the country which have as their ob jective the determination upon a reply to these questions. The ex periments, to date, are entirely too young to serve as a criteria. Furthermore, there will undoubt edly be, conflicting testimony as to the efficiency of the various issues under fire.

ALAN HOWARD HAS PART IN PICTURE Al Howard, University back field coach, and graduate of Notre Dame, plays in the picture showing at the Carolina theatre today, "The Spirit of Notre Dame," in wThich Lew Ayers has the leading role. This produc tion is dedicated to Kmite Rockne, wTho wTas on his way West to help in the directing of the picture when his sudden death came. Many of Rockne's pupils, including the four horse men and Frank Carideo, made up the football team for the pro duction of this picture. In order to avoid any conflict with the game this afternoon, a special matinee is to be shown at 10 :30 o'clock this morning. TAU BETA PI HAS ANNUAL MEETING : Tau Beta Pi, national honor ary engineering fraternity, held its 30th annual convention at Cleveland, Ohio, October 8, 9, and i0. . D. G. Thurston, presi dent of the local chapter rep resented the University at the meeting. Alpha chapter, of the Case school of applied science, acted as host to the fifty-eight out of fifty-nine active chapters which had representatives present. An inspection tour of the Aluminum Corporation of America's plant was a feature of the convention. . Guides con ducted the party through the plant from start to finish. Se cret processes, never before ex hibited to public gaze, wTere ex plained to the men. The Case-John Carroll foot ball game was attended in a body, and the convention closed with a banquet on Saturday night. Petitions of two new chapters were granted : New York uni versity and Brooklyn Polytech nic Institute.
