Movie
Morals
As perennial as the seasons is
an editorial in these pages de
nouncing the atrocious behavior
of students in the Carolina thea
tre. The effect of these annual
perorations is imperceptible, -but
the faith in the efficacy of print
ed admonitions snrings, like
hope, eternal.
Friday's picture "The Guards
man" was replete with lines and
situations the enjoyment of
which was immeasurably inter
fered with by the vulgar guffaws,
and ugly lip noises of a score or
more uncouth, lewd and low
minded "Carolina gentlemen." It
is abortive to appeal to the intel
ligence and good-breeding of per
sons who have neither, and it is
equally vain to shame those, who
are so safely ensconced in their
unusually thick skins that the
only form of embarrassment
known to them is that of physi
cal chastisement.
We would encourage Mr.
Smith and his employees to
throw out bodily any and all of
the rowdies who rob the, local
movie-goers of much enjoyment.
These human irritants who mis
takenly confuse virile, youthful
behavior with that of boorish,
clownish activity would garner
no sympathy or pity, if they
could be seen being led put of the
theatre. by an usher or two. -
It is difficult' for the manage
ment of the movie-house to trace
the sources of the unpleasant
disturbances, but if it could, it
is not a privilege, but an obliga
tion to the great majority of the
paying guests to heave these dis
turbers out on their ears, as it
were. F.J.M.
Collegiate
Extroverts
An extrovert has been defined
as one whose acts, emotions, and
process of thought are influenced
by external conditions rather
than introspection. Every per
son interprets this definition in
his own way ; some think that all
practically-minded persons are
extroverts, some that all politi
cans come in this class, and
others have still different con
ceptions. Everyone of these is
partially,correct, but probably
the best conception is that one
which pictures him as a "follow
er of the crowd", as exemplified
by the average collegian.
He thinks, acts, and dresses
according to conventions of so-
ciety. He moves with the ma-j
jority, and not once does he dare '
stand alone. He possesses a na
ture which makes him satisfied
with what he has, until some in-
'trovert presents a new and bet
ter scheme. If this new scheme,
whatever it may be, does not
meet the approval of the major
ity, the extrovert will have
nothing to do with It. But if the
public is quick to accept the plan,
the extrovert "will be whole
heartedly behind it. Public
opinion thus governs his. life.
He is afraid to make a stand
of his own for fears that his so
cial rating will be lost, or that
he will lose some of his friends.
He apparently forgets the fact
that persons admire anyone who
has convictions of his own and
sticks to them. He is too anxious
about what people think of him
to do any creative thinking of
his own. In one conception he
is a yes man.
The blame for the collegian's
being placed in such a class is
due partially to educational sys
tems now being used, and main
ly to the student himself. Edu
cation today tends to "cow" the
students by forcing him to take
courses which he must attend
daily, and in which he has no
choice.
' More important than this,
however, is the part that the
student plays in bringing this
classification upon himself. He
is satisfied in doing only so much
as is necessary for him to "get
by", and since he does not have
to do any creative thinking to
get his diploma, naturally he
will not exert himself to that
extent.
So long as he has such an atti
tude, and is willing to be classed
as a "yes" man and "mediocre",
he will remain in his present sta
tus. But when he desires to be
more than just average, he will
then have ideas of his own which
he will try to make the public
believe in. And the public in
turn will look at him as a future
leader of the state and nation.
C.G.R.
Remedy
- While police were valiantly
attempting to prevent gate
crashing at the Tennessee game
two weeks ago, more than two
hundred students from neighbor
ing institutions were outside the
. gates of Kenan stadium ready to
make a break to get in to see
the game. This is not only true
of the home games at Carolina
but of practically every school
in this section of the state.
The situation cannot be rem
edied on, moral grounds for the
simple reason that those who
cannot afford the regular tariff
to the, game are going to bum
their way in just as they have
bummed up to the gate.
A ready and sensible solution
could be provided by the athletic
associations which in the long
run would possibly pay them.
They could admit such students
from other schools to the game
at a price smaller than the reg
ular charge and slightly more
than the student here pays for
each game. - . . .
A $2.50 price on a ticket is a
great handicap to the average
student; he figures that the
game is not' worth that much
when his spending money is on
a small margin. If a $1.00
price were made upon presenta
tori of his pass-book, he would
consider it a just price and would
pay it instead of attempting to
crash gates or waiting until the
first half is over. In this way,
other students would be more
j likely to come to the games and
in the long run the athletic as-,
sociation would profit. G.W.W.

The real trouble is that novels
areutoo poor for people to read.

Pictured above is the Philanthropic Assembly lot in the Chapel

War, as neither the Di or Phi continued to keep these lots when
ihe University reopened in 1875. The picture shows only five large
monuments but there are several other graves in the ericlosure.
Chapel Hill Cemetery Holds
Interest For Curious Students
Oldest Grave in Local Plot Dated 1813, But Other Nameless Graves
Considered Much Older; Initiation Pranks in
Cemetery Now Prohibited.
. o
East of the freshman athletic
field, alongthe Raleigh highway
lies the Chapel Hill cemetery.
It resembles the graveyard of
any of our Southern towns, 6ut
it also tells much of the history
of this small University . com
munity. As far as is known, this has
been the only burial ground in
the town. When the different
churches secured land to build
on, it was understood that there
would be no graveyards attached.
The cemetery has never been
known by any special name.
Years ago Dr. Kemp P. Battle
was asked to name the place.
He, very appropriately, called it
"Cedarcrest," but for somerea
son the name has never officially
stuck. Today it is simDlv known
v ; A
as the Chapel Hill cemetery.
First Grave Dated 1813
Attempts to ascertain the age
of this burying ground . have
proved unsuccessful. The earl
iest marked grave is that of
Lewis Bowen Holt who died in
1813, the tombstone being set
uf by the Dialectic society. In
Battle's History of the Univer
sity there is a reference to an ac
count of the town of Chapel Hill
in 1814. In it the writer men
tioned that then there were some
half dozen people buried there
in the graveyard. This would
date the.first use of the cemetery
at least to very near the begin
ning of the century.
The cemetery is divided into
two divisipns, one given over to
the white population and the
other used by the negroes. The
former section may also be con
sidered divided into an old and
new division. The old part is
heavily shaded with large trees
and bushes. In the oldest sec
tion there is little or no sign of
any graves, with only a few
small weathered rock lying on
end, scattered here and there.
There is no idea how many bod
ies are interred in this . spot,
markers having been removed or
lost. There is a jstory though
that people have Deen buried on
top of each other in this section.
At any rate, further burials
have been prohibited in the old
grounds.

cemetery is divided into small
lots. The Dialectic and Philan
thropic societies each have a sec
tion here set off from the rest
of the grounds by heavy iron
fences a yard high. The graves
in these society lots are marked
by large and ornamental monu
ments. Other lots belonging to
the early families of the town,
are marked out by foot-high
walls on stone and in other cases
by brick inclosures. These plots
are believed' full of graves,
though there may be only one
tombstone or marker in each.
Some of them are covered with
ivy. It is. well nigh impossible
to keep , this section well cared
for because of the masonry, iron
fences, trees, and bushes which
have grown anywhere and every
where without any definite plan.
For instance, a large cedar tree
over a foot in diameter is grow
ing through the middle cf o.'p
grave, and in another case a tree
has grown directly in front of
a tombstone, making it difficult
to read the inscription.
Confederate Graves
. Many Confederate flags and
the small square stone mark the
graves of members of the Con
federate army,, although there
are"very few World War vet
erans at rest in the cemetery.
In examining the names cut
on some of these old stones, one
finds people who will always be
remembered when one thinks of
the town of Chapel Hill or the
University. Some of these well
known families -are Martin, Bar
bee, MacNider, Pickard, Mc
Cauley, Mallett, Mangum, Kluttz,
Andrews and Cobb,
The University has within the
past year just granted another
piece of land about 240 feet
square along the Raleigh road
to the town for the cemetery.
This new addition allows 384 new
lots with three graves., to the
lot. A new ordinance reads that
all graves in this section must
be absolutely flat, so as to be uni
form and to make maintenance
easier.
Until two years ago the ex
pense for the cemetery , upkeep
was obtained from the money se
cured in selling the plots. . At

And love is a kick in the slats.

Initiation. Pranks
For years the cemetery was
the favorite place for any Uni
versity organizations to hold an
initiation. With the advent of
a full time keeper, an ordinance
has been passed prohibiting such
use of the graveyard. Many of
the tombstones were defaced and
broken during some such ritual,
and it was this mutilation which
led to fhe ordinance. ' ' -

To Revive Interest
In Journalistic Award
(Continued' from first page)
sides the twelve names and their
dates, is "Ben Smith Preston
Memorial Cup."
That the last award went to
William Edwin Horner is known
only because his name is last
engraved with the date 1921.
The last complete account of the
award appears in the Tar Heel
of July 20, 1920, announcing
that "Nathan R. Gooding, of
New Bern was awarded the cup
for this year by a committee
composed of Lenoir Chambers,
Dean Graham, and Dr. W. W.
Pierson." Chambers was the
fourth winner.
The same article also ex
plains how the winner was
judged. "Three types of writ
ing are considered," said the
Tar Heel, "and the student who
scores the highest total for three
forms is granted the prize."
Interest seems to have died
in 1921, for all the mention of
the cup in that' year is an ob
scure notice that two journalist
ic prizes were to be given. Nam
ing the Burdock cash award,
which is now nonexistent, it
mentions the Preston Cup has
"not been awarded this year ; at
least not announced. The win
ner will be named at commence
ment." There is no further mention
of the cup in the 1921-22 nor
1922-23 volumes of the Tar
Heel. Although the name of the
award has remained in the Uni
versity catalog until this time,
little attention has been paid it.

Atlanta not only has a wet

The latter organization, "rep
resenting the city of Atlanta,"
officially recommended "repeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment
and passage of regulatory laws
governing, definitely and strict
ly, the sale of intoxicating li
quors." This is remarked upon
as "the first case in the south
where a law enforcement bodv
has advocated repeal of the pro
hibition laws." The grand jury
is moved to this recommendation
because its experience shows the
impossibility of enforcing the
law Charlotte Observer.
