The New Deal makes vthe, dumber, of us wonder con CURRENT ENIGMA siderably, so that we scratch our head and, try to figure out just what these- things - called ""government" and ''statesman ship" really are. Ur. Roosevelt's" 4 administra tion will, in three years, have spent almost as much as the combined presidential udminis rations from President Wash ington through President Taf t. But that's not the significant "point. - . -. ' Mr. Roosevelt in his campaign speeches emphasized above all economy in governmental admin istration. Furthermore, he sol emnly stated that what men do rather than what men think is the vital criterion of . their sin cerity. What we poor blundering :youth can't put together is how "this dynamic personality let his government get out of hand to uch an extent that his own promises are broken. Maybe that's the part of government tre won't ever be able to under stand. As much as we like the idea of exchange professor XIBERAL XEADER ships which will bring us foreign ideas and thoughts, we regret to note that Dr. E. E. Ericson -will not be on the campus next year. We do not have to agree with Dr. Ericson's views in order to admire him for his consistent work, which we do. Especially in this undergraduate era is student interest aroused in poli tical, social, and economic theory and fact and in presenting his -views, however radical, Dr. Eric son has been a powerful ele ment in our educational contact -with current affairs and ideas. Dr. Ericson, of course, . has Been the cause for much clamor, but his sincerity has won for nim the respect of those who set angry at his teachings, In our open forum columns has appear ed a mild attack SYSTEM CHANGE against graduate instructors itfho have been advocating change in our political and 'social and economic systems. An interesting note is struck -when some of these very "radi cals", as they have been termed, clamor so vociferously against moving out of Smith building next year to accomodate women students, the idea being a better arrangement for the campus as a whole, according to the 'admin istration. Change in systems,-of course, would alsos mean sacrifice for many. We don't doubt that the Smith building left-wingers have a good case against their mov: ing out, but their stubborn stand makes us kind of snicker up our sleeves. , "Down with capitalism," of course,' is not analagous to "Out of Smith Building." But we still think it's Humorous. "For the good of the masses", folks, looks better in practice than on paper or platform. .

Publicity Notices As Mystic Leader Who Entrances It is the custom of organized entertainers to flood local news papers with reams and reams of publicity notices before appear ing in the town.

Smoking Jag Nets S50 To Kappa Sigs Fraternity Men Win Cigarette Contest; Phi Gams Second. There's not a cough in the Kappa Sigma house. The rea son for their abstinance from whooping cough, croup, or even mild hiccups is owing to their propensity for smoking Old Gold cigarettes. The Kappa Sigs won the prize of $50 offered by Loril lard and Co:, to the fraternity in the University smoking the most Old Gold cigarettes. Ending Thursday, through a period of six weeks, when the points had been added, it was found that the Cameron avenue Greeks were the winners, and their neighbors, the Phi Gam ma Deltas, took second place. The Kappa Sigs garnered 1,176 points, and ,the , Phi Gams 7 61. The Phi Gam Fijis, securing second place in the contest, win honorable mention but no pecu niary recompense. All of them, however, are happy in the reali zation that the Fiji domicile is immune to coughs. Robert Perkins, with 74 points, won in the contest among non-fraternity students.

However, as the excellence of the press agent's writing ability might make the Daily Tar Heel seem crude and amateurish, we hesitated, at first, to do so. But on the other hand, the Daily Tar Heel wishes to present to its readers at every possible time any ex ample of classical writing. Therefore, from the Press Rela tions Department: "Dancers of the post-jazz era were waltzing in a dream of moon songs while sentimentally muted trumpets almost put the people to sleep right on the dance floor.

POE TO CIRCULATE MAGAZINE JUNE 1 First Issue Under, New Regime To Appear with Blue Cover; More Fiction Stories. Charlie Poe's Carolina Maga zine will appear here and on state newsstands June 1 dressed up in a blue cover. Editor Poe's first effort will be marked by several changes over the Sugar- man regime, notably the in crease in fiction and the addition of sub-titles to stories. The for mat is substantially the same. Featuring this issue will be a story of life in a cotton mill town, by Alexander George (pseudonym). Inimitable Pete Ivey bursts forth with a short story of the world's greatest sales register. Of interest to the campus will be an article on the psychology back oi maga zines such as Sexy Stories. The author, incidentally, is an ex- contributor to them. Best Seller ' Jim Daniels tells about the book, "In His Steps," that is next to the Bible in sales, yet nobody seems to know anything about it. "We Should Burn Our Books," by Milton Kalb, will be a satirical shot at the "right wingers." An article in defense of Hell Week by a freshman ex neophyte, will appear. Several other short stories, features, and poems will make up the remain der of the issue. Wet Weather? . Those in the infirmary yester day were: R. E. Maynard, T. S. Bennet, Mrs. Lovline McCain, Juanita Greener W. B. Carter. Show Postponed; Tonight, Monday 'Dress' Rehearsal Done In Slickers, Overshoes Koch Announces Everything in Fine Shape Except Weather; Performance at 8:30. RAIN MEANS NO SHOW The Playmakers, undaunted by the rain which resulted in the postponement of the first performance of "Hamlet" last niglit and which prevented their making up in Thursday's dress rehearsal, will put on their much-heralded show in the For est theatre tonight and Monday night, the weather permitting. . Proff Koch and his players profited by yesterday's rain to get in another rehearsal, al though Proff, who will play the title role in the production, re ported the one Thursday night was very good. Singing in the Rain Because of the rain, the actors wore very un-Danish cos tumes in what was supposed to be the dress rehearsal. The player queen was clad in, among other things, green riding pants, golf socks, and her crown and veil. Hamlet reluctantly had to put aside his scarlet-lined black cape and assume a slicker and a straw hat. Heroic measures were neces sary to save the tapestries upon which Wilbur Dorsett and Alton Williams had lavished so much artistic talent. .Twice they were put up and twice, as rain began to fall, hastily taken down. Rain, Rain; Go Away As the downpour increased,. the University Symphony Or chestra decreased,, until only Di rector Slocum was left. Proff announced yesterday, however, that everybody and everything are perfect -except the weather, and that if it is right this evening the show will go on. , t WHITE ADDRESSES SENIOR ENGINEERS IN FINAL MEETING Says They Know "Dern Sight More" Than They Think. In a pep talk to parting sen iors, Dr. A. M. White, of the chemical engineering depart ment, ended this year's activi ties for the local chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers at its meeting Thurs--day night. Richard Huber, out-going president, conducted elections for next year's officers. Those appointed were: Henry J. Alli son, president; Billy Binder, vice-president; Hugh Davis, sec retary ; H. D. Bear,' treasurer. , Dr. White in his talk stressed the value of reading after leav ing school. He said, "The engi-. neer of the future will be the man interested in current . af fairs." Magazines were sug-. gested as an admirable means by which to keep up with them. Concerning the necessity of self-confidence the engineering professor said, "All this chemis try we have been drilling into you can't have gone in one ear and out the other. You know a dern sight more than you think." Following Dr. White's speech a delegate to the convention of the Institute of Chemical Engi neers at Wilmington,. Del., and Philadelphia recounted . his ex- periences there. Henry AllisonL adjourned the meeting. , :i
