Doing
Our Part '
The enrollment at the University has dropped
to an alarming low for this scholastic year in
spite of repeated attempts on the part of various
campus organizations to remedy this drop. Last
year the Daily Tar Heel conducted a campaign
at the last of the spring quarter in an attempt to
induce University students to interest high
school graduates in coming here. So far as can
be ascertained at present, this campaign was
almost totally unfruitful.
Approaching the subject of getting new stu
dents at present is the University club. This
organization having observed the singular in
efficiency of the personal contact with high school
pupils by individuals, has started the organiza
tion of Carolina clubs among 'the members of
the student body from the various towns in the
state, which are to work with home alumni clubs
during the spring holidays.
That the. University has definite need of more
students is an undeniable fact, and that the only
way which this' can be accomplished is by early
and efficient organization of groups of students
from each town is also true. Since the Univer
sity is a state institution, it is unable to adver
tise in the manner of other universities and col
leges, which, therefore, makes necessary work
by. members of the student body in a united at
tempt to increase enrollment.
' Within a week' students from many of the
North Carolina towns will be approached by
members of the yniversity Club in regard to co
operating in this enterprise. . The time required
for each of these students to aid during the
spring holidays will be comparatively little, and
sincere help by everyone will not only be an indi
cation of as much, or more school spirit than
cheering at football games, but will do much
toward bringing enrollment at the University
back to normal. F.P.G.
Turn In
Qr Turn Out
The progress of the athletic activity of the
University : is being impeded to a considerable
degree by the numerous men who, full of enthu
siasm at the beginning of the quarter applied
for equipment, attended a few practices or
work-outs, and then stowed it away for use in
intramural athletics or an occasional bit of ex
ercise. There isa 'gideaVqp equipment now
in the possession of ; such men while a great
many; more .earnest and -valuable athletes are
being. forced to do Without some necessarv pnnini
ment It is obvious that it is extremely unfair
on, the part of those that have drawn equipment
they do not intend using to deprive those who
need it Either their interest; was extremely
snorc-uvea, or they deliberately obtained their
equipment under false pretenses. Li either case
they should have the decency to return what
they are not using as the University is in very
real need of it. ... - ;
It would be better for all concerned, however,
if, instead of turning equipment in, they came
out and worked, regularly. There is a need for
good men and without more interest and rn
operation we shall be unable to maintain or im
prove the standards of our various teams. Cnnoh
es in various sports complain of the lack of en-
tnusiasm and consistent work on the part of
many, men out for the teams. There are a num
ber who work faithfully and diligently, a greater
number who go about it half-heartedly, and a
considerable number that start out, draw equip
ment, and quit in a week.
The student body is constantly demanding
more and better teams and are ready with criti
cism when teams are unsuccessful. The only
way by which, we can. turn out successful teams
is to have large, active, and conscientious squads
and the better the team the more earnest and
hard-working the men who compose it. It rests
upon the students of any athletic ability the re
sponsibility of co-operating with the coaching
staffs by returning equipment that they are not
using in interests of the team, or better still
coming out every day and putting out some real
work in order that this spring and next fall our
record in athletics will be worthy of this Uni
versity.- J JP.A.
Lhevinne,
Memorial Hall
The necessary change in artists for the con
cert to be presented in Memorial hall tonight
has been well understood and appreciated by the
public who will compose the audience, as is evi
denced by the fact that up to date only twenty
tickets have been cancelled.
Lhevinne, who will play instead of Rachmani
noff, is considered by many people in a position
to judge, the greatest living pianist. Two promi
nent New York critics consistently give him the
best reviews that they give to any concert
pianist. When it was learned that Rachmaninoff
could not appear Lhevinne was chosen from a
half dozen famous artists because it was known
that he would equal the original booking in every
respect.
Lhevinne has wired that we will spend the
day on the campus. Rachmaninoff was going to
remain at the Washington Duke hotel until time
for the concert. Lhevinne is famous everywhere
for his genial personality.
Last fall Lhevinne played to a capacity house
in Greensboro. He plays to capacity houses all
over the world. Anyone who has hastily can
celled his ticket and has since learned how truly
great Lhevinne really is may secure another
ticket at the Music building. ,
xWe cordially welcome Lhevinne to our cam
pus and we are sure that he will receive the
acclaim that his great merit deserves. J.M.V.H.
Service,
Please!
If competition is the soul of the capitalistic
system then Chapel Hill is practically a social
istic community. The lack of competition among
Chapel Hill merchants, and their complacent at
titude toward the troubles of others may add to
the charm of this "delightful little village" as
seen from the outside, but it considerably de
tracts from the pleasure of living here.
In other words, the butcher, the baker and
the candlestick-maker have you at their mercv.
and they condescend to serve you only when
there are not more important matters on hand,
like a checker game in the back room, or a movie
they particularly want to see. In the meantime.
you may have no coal in the cellar in the stormi
est weather, the bathroom pipes may have burst,
or you may sit in the lobby.of your fraternitv
house with your head in your hands at nine-
thirty on Wednesday evening (Lombardo's hour)
because one of the local "service" organizations
has had your radio for the past three months
fixing it.
If you ask them about it for the tenth time
they only drawl back at you that such things
cannot be done in the twinkling of an eye, and
that the radio, the plumber or the electrician
will be around presently. Presently is generally
from one to three weeks. They know, in their
cool, unconcerned way, even if they keep the
radio forever, that if you ever break another
one you will be obliged to send it to them. And
so you will. The lack of competition makes all
manner of tradespeople lazy, indifferent and in
solent. If Chapel Hill merchants were motivated
by either a deep interest in their work or a
real desire to serve the community, competition
would np be necessary for efficient service. Since
they are not, but are interested in "Number One"
first last . and aays, Chapel Hill remains the
last place in the world to get anything done,
done right and done quickly: One could wish
for, this "charming little village'? a little more
esprrt de corps and co-operation among the back
bones of the community. H.N.L. '
Woe Is lis!
These roadside warning sighs seem to indi
cate very clearly where the younger generation
is heading: ; '
SOFT SHOULDERS.

NON CAMPUS
MENTIS
By Joe Sugarman
Dumber than Dora
"You needn't brag about your
old man just because he's the
biggest coal dealer in town,1
pouted Duke's South Carolina
contributor to the arty Archive.
Interjected a bystander, "Well,
he might want to brag about his
father as the best second-story
man in town."
The literata clapped her hands
excitedly and lisped, "Oh,
didn't know his father wrote
books!"

The King's English
Winston-Salem's , second-year
lawyer claims the week's bright

announcing, "The whole affair
is perfectly 'immateraP as far
as I'm concerned." None the
less brilliant is the award ten
dered Raleigh's reliable contrib
utor for his sincere desire to see
the CWA "razz to the ground

here."
Special night shift endeavor is
under way to fathom the remark

the effect that a certain female
was annoyingly "volumptuous.
SPEAKING
the
CAMPUS MIND
When Knighthood Was etc. "
The Daily Tar Heel sports
reporter's heart beat fast with
poetry as he regretfully record
ed the frosh basketeers' defeat
at the hands o State by con
cluding, "Not a single one of the
men could get their hands on the
ball and keep it. Lady Luck had
forgotten them, and Sir Skill had
an off night."
Sounds suspiciously like dirty
work at the cross-roads.

Five-votes and deservedly so
to Asheville's feminine drama
devotee for brightening literary
criticism with "Since Moiiere
came from a long line of uphol
sterers, I think he is justly en
titled to a soft seat in history."
Jed Dobie Says:
Just because no one else has
printed it yet there's no reason
why mention should not be
made of the two post-cards ad
dressed to the campus daily
which read, "c-o The Daily Carr
Heel." And what about that
freshman who suggested that
the paper-ridden office of the
same publication be re-chris
tened, "The Carr Barn"?
Break of the Week
The gazette published down
Salisbury way was quite per
turbed over the situation in
Austria. It devoted frantic sen
tences to the possible demolition
of Vienna, the Hitler threat, the
reported murder of Chancellor
Dollfuss and his cabinet, and the
alleged slaughter of thousands
in the Marx apartments.
Breathlessly the foreign cor
respondent concluded these hair
raising notes by affirming, "As
yet these humours have not been
confirmed."

The Book of Boners
Just what color "breeches of
conduct" did that DAILY TAR

THE YOUNG MEN'S SHOD
DURHAM, N. C.
Oh! What's This,
Cornelia?
To the Editor:
There are a number of things
concerning the handling of co
ed's probation over the past
week-end that we feel are in
need of criticism and modifica
tion.
In the first place, through the
negligence of the Woman's coun
cil, the weekly meetings to de
cide on probation for those girls
who come in after hours at
Spencer hall were not held from
the first week in January until
February 13, and as a conse
quence girls who were late as
far back as January H were put
on probation February 16, caus
ing needless inconvenience in, a
number of cases, as many of
the girls had made plans for
the week-end which could not be
altered without embarrassment.
This situation could certainly
have been avoided by a little
less indifference on the part of
the council. V .
In the second place, we feel
that the method of handling
probation cases is most unfair.
The group of girls who decide
the penalties is a very unrepre
sentative one. Only three of
the girls on the Woman's coun
cil live in the co-ed building. It
is common knowledge that girls
who live in the sorority houses
'''! I t
ana m tne various rooming
houses and private homes in the
community are not under juris
diction of the council as far as
coming in late is concerned.
Any breach of this rule is hand
led, if at all, within their own
groups. We feel that being late
in Spencer hall is analogous to
being late in the Pi Beta Phi
house and is a matter to be
handled only by the girls living
in Spencer. It seems to us that
a much better method of hand
ling probation, therefore, would
be to have a House committee,
composed of the House Presi
dent, Mrs. Lee, and one or more
girls from each floor, to meet
each week and handle proba
tion cases.
We feel, furthermore, that
each and every case of a girl's
being late is not the same, and
a girl, if she feels she has a rea
sonable excuse to state, should
be given a chance to do so. As
it now stands, one is notified on
Tuesday night that she has been
put on probation for the follow
ing Friday. If she has a legiti
mate excuse, if she thinks she
is justified in not serving, be
cause of some unavoidable situ
ation, on the date set for her,
she has no one to whom to pre
sent her case. The answer to
her inquiry is always, "The
council has already met and
nothing can be done about it."
We think that a better plan
would be to serve notice on
Monday to all those whose cases
are to come up before the com7
mittee, so that if they have any
just reason for wanting the
date of their probation changed.
orr if they, feel they; should not
serve, at all,' there will; be an. op
portunity for them to be heard.
In this manner, the girls will
have, the satisfaction of a fair
hearing, and if an excuse is ac
cepted. there can be no oppor
tunity for a charge of partiality.
This is not to be construed as
an attempt to make enforcement
of the probation rules any more
lax or the penalties any Ies3 se
vere, or. to enable anyone to get
out of anything; it is merely
an attempt to avoid what at
present leads to confusion .and
a great deal of just resentment
on the part of those who feel!
that they have been unfairly
treated and have had no oppor
tunity to speak for themselves.
We think that some causes for
lateness are reasonable, and un
der the present system there is
no room for consideration of
justifiable excuses. When a
girl is put on probation when
she has been in an accident and
is spending the night in the in
firmary, we feel that it is time
that something be done.
We do not feel that being late
to Spencer hall is a matter
which should be penalized by
the Woman's council, and think
that it should be handled by
representatives of Spencer hall.
We. hope that this suggestion
will be acted upon immediately,
before there is a repetition of
the unpleasantness of last week
end. A GROUP OF INDIG
NANT SPENERITES.
Many Reasons Given
For Selecting Carolina
(Continued from page one)
"I wanted to go to some out-of-town
college to et some ex
perience in handling myself, to
acquire a sense of diplomacy, to
become more wide-awake to my
environment, and incidentally
to get the credits necessary for
entrance to a professional
school. I chose Carolina as my
school because I found it could
serve my purpose as well as any
other place and besides, it
costs less," said one serious
freshman. He is one of the
minority who came to Carolina
knowing definitely why they
were coming, and came deter
mined to fulfill their plans. It
is the majority that came to
Carolina with lower expenses,
athletics, easy entrance require
ments and a good social time
firmly impressed on their minds.
Very few students were ap
pealed to by the school's high
ranking scholastically. Even
less were influenced in their
choice by the school's tradition.
The fact that Carolina ranks as
high as practically any other
school in the country did not
"hit the spot." It is the inex
pensive living and similar fi
nancial and social advantages
that cause this wholesale south
ward migration.
