C., SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1935 V 0 (AXSXS QQQ0 by the Editor -4 OPINION ON PLAN It is quite inter esting to notice the varying tenor mark ingthe answers of the various departmental heads to our let ters concerning the proposed class extension plan. The language departments show a sharp contrast of opin ion. The classical gentlemen are decidedly against the idea; the Romanee,prof essors are very favorably impressed and recep tive. Very likely it is in the pecu liar characteristics of the sub jects taught.. At least, that niay Tbe the argument presented. Then .again, it may be personal bpin ion. We can see no reason, liowever, why Greek or Latin -would differ from Spanish or Prench in the application, of the plan. On the contrary, it would seem "that lectures of programs on Xivy or Homer would offer more ' interest than modern French or Spanish celebrities. The situa tion reflects different interpre tations and points of view, i vvpuld seem, . rather that in :nate departmental , differences. Which is all very well, but a definite drag on the plan's prog ress. IBEHIND A NAME The preliminary skirmishes in the fight to re-christen "the humor magazine as the ""Buccaneer" instead of allowing it to bear the present title of "'Finjan" are particularly amus ing. Incoming-president Pool is -close-mouthed about the whole thing. Francis Fairley, unsuc cessful candidate against . Poo and hold-over member of the Student Council, which will de cide the question, is pro-Bucca neer. Marvin Allen, another Tiold-over member, has reversed liis stand from pro-buccaneer to pro-Finjah. It will be a jolly fight when the boys get togeth er and all reverse and proceed iit the same time. . We hope there is less foolish dickering this time than last fall. The name "Fihjan" is the most asinine title we could possibly think of. Why fchapel Hill boarding houses should be used as a source of information for the humor magazine's title campaign can be answered only by Gaskins, who was on the poop deck as the Buccaneer rose and fell. FREE FOR ALL Yesterday after noon one of our guest Scoutmas ters reported the theft of valu able personal property from a "'Kenan Valley tent," where the visitor was encamped. The night watchman, on being asked for information, said he wouldn't afford to stop everyone Tvith a suitcase, because he'd get written, up in the paper nd lose his job. . The local Police were more sublimely ob livious. We, as well as Boy Scouts, must "Be Prepared" in Chapel Mill- It looks like it's every man for himself, even Pansy Chandler.

Youth will be represented at this . demonstration of old-time music by a group of students from Crossnore school, which is situated in the mountains of North Carolina. In the afternoon at 3 o'clockJ two teams from the Cherokee reservation will demonstrate their own brand of ball game. This game, which is usually played with 10 men on each side, has the appearance of a free-for-all; there are few rules for the game and none whatsoever to prevent extreme roughness. The ball game, which is one of the oldest games of Indian orig in, will be played in its primi tive form.

MEMORIAL FUND CAMPAM BEGUN Charlotte Group Inaugurates Drive for Fund to Honor Dr. Graham's Father. PAGEANT IS TONIGHT AT 7 Hollingsworth Stops Show to Collect $15, Lucky Strikes. Although he had to suffer sev eral moments of acute embar rassment and self-consciousness in order to collect, Willard Revelle Hollingsworth firmly grasped his ?i5 in cash and the carton of Lucky Strikes, which he won at E. Carrington Smith's weekly drawing at the Carolina theatre last night, and trod the clouds back to the Sigma Nu house. Promptly at 9 o'clock Herr Smith toted his box of numbers down to the front of the thea tre and pounced oh Eben Alex ander, S. A. E., ,to draw forth one of them. Eben up and picked number 304; Smith call ed it out three times; no Hol- ingsworth stepped forth ; Smith announced the, contest closed and doubled the prize for next week. Interrupts Movie After that little flurry of ex citement, the audience, settled back to enjoy the. new "March of Time." Hardly had more than two scenes been flashed upon the screen when the lights came on once more and the screen became blank. Smith was once more holding forth in front and was accompanied by a rather ill-at- ease and sheepish young man. The manager hurriedly apolo gized and begged to explain that Mr. Hollingsworth had been out side in front of the theatre at the time of the drawing but had to shove his way through the crowd and had become so excited at hearing his name called that he couldn't explain coherently to the (Continued on page three) j With two days filled with activity, the 1,500 Boy Scouts here looked forward today to the visit of their two distinguish ed guests, Governor J.

THIEF ROBS TENT OF SCOUTMASTER Leader of Goldsboro Troop Re turns from Camp-Fife to Find Tent Ransacked.

M. L. Smoot, Scoutmaster of Troop four from Goldsboro, re- turned to his tent between the Tin Can and the intramural field Thursday night after attending the camp-fire celebration to find that someone had artistically plundered his temporary abode and made off with a new black alligator Gladstone bag, contain ing two army blankets, another black blanket, a pair of Oxford grey trousers, a belt, a sterling silver key chain and a bunch of keys, an Eastman folding kodak and case, other wearing apparel, and toilet articles.

One of the biggest problems ever to face a dining hall mana ger has been disposed of by J. Obie Harmon, manager of Swaia hall. That problem was to feed 1,500 Boy Scouts at the Jubi lee here this week-end. Manager Harmon has work ed out a system Whereby the Scouts eat breakfast early, are fed lunch in Kenan stadium, and are served ahead of the regular group of student diners. His figures as to the quality of food required for the 1,500 boys is rather amazing. For their breakfasts over a three- day period they will eat 600 dozens of eggs, drink 1,400 gal lons of milk, arid consume 1,000 pounds of potato chips, in addi tion to eating around 200 doz ens of rolls at each meal. In buying veal for the Scouts, Manager Harmon purchased all the available . stocks in Chapel Hill and Durham warehouses and still didn't have enough. Other articles were of corres ponding enormity. For lunch the boys are fed in Kenan stadium. In cafeteria style they line up for their ra tions, which are dished out by ines of self-help students work ing with the dining hall forces. The boys generally concede ;hat Manager Harmon should be isted as one of the heroes of the Scout convention.
