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.

FOLK MUSIC BEGINS DAY
:....T.he Dogwood Festival pro
gram today will include a folk
music concert, Cherokee Indian
ball game, Boy Scout Jubilee
pageant, and a, production of the
new Carolina folic plays.
. At 10:30 in Memorial hall the
Folk Music program under the
direction of Richard Chase will
feature the old time fiddlers, dul
cimer players; string bands, old
hymns, ballads, square dances,
and Cherokee Indian music.
Dulcimer Music
Probably the most unique part
of this program will be the selec
tions played on the dulcimer by
Franklin Scott, Mrs. Artemus
Ward, and Turner Brown, all of
Jugtown.
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. When played on the

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

ENGLISH EXHIBIT
A unique exhibit has been
prepared in connection with the
Dogwood Festival by Drs. Harry
K, Russell and J. O. Bailey of
the University English depart
ment, and is now being shown
in 112 Saunders.
Included in the exhibit are
themes and various other kinds
of work done in freshman Eng-
ish. The exhibit clearly points
out the difficulties that the stu
dents have in writing, and the
trouble the instructors face in
teaching them.
The campaign to raise ten
thousand dollars in Charlotte
and Mecklenburg county for the
Alexander Graham Memorial
fund was officially begun Wed
nesday evening at a banquet held
by the Charlotte Chamber of
Commerce. V .

state, university will be a me
morial to the late Dr. Alexander
Graham, a leading educator . in
the state and the father of Dr.
Frank Graham.
. The money will be collected in
Charlotte and in Mecklenburg
county and turned over to the
University for administration
This decision was made by the
committee appointed for hand
ling the fund, in view of the
outstanding success with which
the University has met in the
administration of similar sums.
Grisette Speaks
Felix A. Grisette, director of
the Alumni Loyalty Fund, at
tended "the meeting and spoke
about the remarkable work ac
complished by education loan
funds in the state. Speeches
were aso made by former Sen
ator Cameron Morrison, and

son, extolling the memory of Dr.
Graham and discussing the pro
posed fund and its purposes.

THIEF ROBS TENT
OF SCOUTMASTER
Leader of Goldsboro Troop Re
turns from Camp-Fife to
Find Tent Ransacked.
Apparently someone unfortu
nately missed his Boy Scout
training in his more youthful
days because one of the chief
Scout rules was smashed to
pieces Thursday night when

was entered and ransacked be
tween 8 and 9 o'clock.

turned to his tent between the

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.

Students and Faculty.
DEAN ANNOUNCES AWARDS
With sparkling energy Caro
lina law students and faculty
members last night paid tribute
to Kenan Professor of Law
Emeritus Atwell C. Mcintosh at
the ninth annual dinner of the
Law School Association in the
Carolina Inn.
"In affectionate recognition of
25 years of devoted teaching:
the entire evening, affair was
dedicated to "Dr. Mac," the "old
gentleman" of the law school.
"the Man Himself
Attorney General A. A. F.
Seawell, representing the state
of North Carolina, praised the
splendid service that Dr. Mcin
tosh had rendered the state, the
school and the students. "His
greatest service to the state of
North Carolina," declared Sea
well, "is an unconscious one . . .
it is - the man himself."
Resounding to the praise of
"Dr. Mac's" intimate, inspiring
association with the Carolina

Hero Harmon Finds
Ravenous Scouts Hard
On His Food Supply
Dining Hall Manager Buys Out
Chapel Hill Meat Dealers in
Search for Veal.
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.
