GRUMMAN PLANS
TO MAKE CHANGES
INGALAFESTIVAL
President of Dogwood Festival
Invites Suggestions Concern
ing Its Improvement
"WOULD SIMPLIFY PROGRAM
The board of directors of the
Dogwood Festival yesterday aft
ernoon recommended to the gen
eral committee a simplification
oi tne program ana arrange
ments for the festival in April.
One recommendation was that
anstead of having a combined
-arts and crafts exhibit, as in the
:past two years, to have exhibits
concentrated upon products of
one kind or related character.
JPor example, one year woud be
devoted to pottery, the following
year would be given over to
hand-weaving, the next to wood
work, and so on.
Musical Program
It was also recommended that
-a musical program be devised so
as to carry out the idea of
common festival or jollification
in which everybody may take
.part.
A general meeting will be
Jield early in December to dis
cuss these proposals, according
to Phillips Russell, member of
the board of directors.
Suggestions regarding these
changes are invited by Russel
M. Grumman, president of the
Dogwood Festival.
Classroom Capers
- E. J. Woodhouse, professor o
government, and one-time mayor
of Calvin Coolidge's home town
put his professed liberalism in
to practice the other day.
Following homecoming week
end one of his students found
more interest in catching up on
lost sleep than in digesting Pro
f essor Woodtiouse's lecture.
Coming to the sleeping stu
dent, Professor Woodhouse woke
liim up with "Have a book.1
Then he added : "I can sympath
3ze with you, only I manage to
Tvake myself up talking even i:
X. can't keep you awake."
And with that the student
-went back to sleep.

earn these rules ana regula
tions: the women students of
the University have been divided

receive fifty points just for en
tering, a team.
All winning teams will receive
150 points in that sport. Points

has been donated to the school
by E. Carringtori Smith. The
co-ed who has the highest num
ber of points will receive a
bracelet.
All girls are urged to at least
enter each sport in order that
her unit will receive more points.

Practical Joke Sends Flustered
Freshman Flying To Dr. Berryhill
'Practical Upperclassman Joke'' Sends Gullible Freshman Rush
ing to Infirmary in Wee Hours of Morning Armed with Paja
mas and Filled with Misgivings Concerning Tuberculin Test :
(Written during the writer's con- '
finement to the infirmary).
Although across the street in
Fraternity Court high revelry
reigned, within the tree-encircled
building that housed those
members of this great Univer
sity that had weakened under
the strain, deen silence held
sway.
Suddenly there came a loud
bang on the infirmary door, and
almost instantly the door bell
rang. Ritchie Wall, the night or
derly, and the nurse rushed
downstairs. The nurse fumbled
with the door keys' and soon had
the door open.
A trembling freshman stood
i;here with a package under his
arm. The nurse asked him to
come in, and the freshman step
ped inside quietly, his face as
pale as a sheet. He told the nurse
i;hat Dr. Berryhill called him
tip a few minutes before and had
told him to get his pajamas and
ome to the infirmary immedi
ately.
When he had asked the doctor
what was the matter with him,
the doctor had said that the tu
bercular X-ray that was taken
of -him had revealed a bad case
of tuberculosis and that he
might transmit the germs to
some other person, and to hur
ry over to the infirmary so that
he might not spread the disease
to other students.
Ritchie Wall replied that all
X-rays that have been taken are
negative, and that no students
are to be isolated. The freshman
brightened up immediately.
"I was just getting, ready to
call my parents and tell them
of my disaster, but I'm very glad
now that I didn't."
The nurse opened the door
and told him to go home and get
a good night's rest. He walked
out with a gleam in his eye, and
said:
: "This is a practical upper
classman joke.'
The former location of the
.Bun s ieaa nas undergone a
complete metamorphis and is
now a cozy browsing room.
Booklovers hated to see their
old hang-out routed out but are
now highly pleased over their
new and enlarged shop in the
library.
The new browsing room fills
a need that was evident for many
years. . Here students have an
attractive place to while away
those trifling minutes between
classes and appointments. Dur
ing chapel period a large crowd
is usually found here to escape
the autumn's crispness and to
indulge in the matutinal pick-up,
the "coke," or if you prefer,
just a cigarette.
For the convenience of those
who get bored very quickly with
the everyday brand of campus
chatter, an open shelf collection
of "readable" books is accessible
at all times. Topics covered
are current economic and politi
cal problems, government, philo
sophy, and others, just interest
ing, general reading. These
books were contributed by fa
culty members and town's
people.

- GEOPHYSICAL STUDIES
Di Senators agreed in major
ity Tuesday night that the ac
tion of Dean House and Presi
dent Graham in dismissing John
Sniscak from, the University for
a false statement about his foot
ball eligibility was justified.
H. L Coffield argued for the
victorious senators that the in
tervention of University officials
was necessary in the Sniscak
case because of the student
council's failure in its decree sus
pending the offender from fur
ther playing to visualize the ef
fect of its leniency upon other
schools of the Southern Confer
ence in regard to Carolina's in
tegrity.
For the Defense
Foy Watts defended the ex
pelled player as a victim of cir
cumstance lured into his last
game for the University by an
insatiable desire for varsity play
even while aware of his ineligi
bility. Senators Verner and
Yeatman declared the interven
tion of Dean House and Presi
dent Graham a lamentable vio
lation of students' rights as rep
resented in the student council.
For the first time in the 141
years of the Dialectic Senate's
existence, the constitutional rul
ing on membership in the socie
ty states that co-eds may be
come members. The new ruling
favoring female members was
made last night as a new consti
tution was adopted by the Sen
ate to conclude the major busi
ness of the evening.

Tommy Dorsey and his orches
tra have just signed the contract
to play for the annual fall Ger
man Club dances here during
the Thanksgiving holidays, it
was officially announced yester
day by Charlie Edwards, secretary-treasurer
of the social or
ganization.
Dorsey is well-known as hav
ing orginally been a member of
the Dorsey Brothers unit The
brother team of Jimmy and
Tommy separated a short time
ago, with Jimmy taking over the
original unit and Tommy taking
over the orchestra formerly con
ducted by Joe Haymes. Haymes
is now with Tommy in the role
of arranger.
Tommy Dorsey's orchestra re
cently completed a sensational
run at the French Casino, New
York's newest smash-hit night
club and revue. The band not
only played nightly to record
crowds at this famous night
I spot but also broadcast from
there twice weekly over the Col-
umbia network.
Gained Reputation
Dorsey has gained a reputa
tion of being one of the better
trombone players. His instru
mental specialties and vocals by
Edythe Wright, one of radio's
new.. singing stars graced with,
more than her share, of charm
and beauty, promise to make the
holiday set one of the better
ones.
Although Dorsey and his band
will play here for only two days
of the set, the dances will start
Thursday evening following the
Carolina-Virginia football game
here. The orchestra for Thurs
day night's dance has not been
signed as yet but will be an
nounced within the next few
days.
Dorsey and his colleagues will
start in Friday afternoon with
the first tea dance.
CAMPUS KEYBOARD
The second Capehart program
of this week will be given to
night in the choral room of the
Hill Music hall at. 7 o'clock.
Dr. Haydon said that it was
impossible to play all the re
quest numbers in one program
a. week and gave a trial concert
last night to see if the crowd
warranted the giving J2 two re
cordings. The program tonight includes
"Pelleas and Melisande" by De
bussy and the "Quartet". Opus
51, number 2 by Brahms.
There are always certain groups
of . students who distinguish
themselves from the bulk of the
campus, making themselves con
spicuous through their allegiance
to certain ideas or activities.
While the great mass of students
runs the same tempo of exist
ence through the years, these
conspicuous groups change in
character and even in color and
as each group changes thus, so
does the characteristics of that
particular college era change.
For instance, there were days
when the outstanding under
grads were deep scholars and so
that era was termed a scholarly
one for colleges. Then the out
standing leaders were young
Babbitts, good old middle-class
scions with plenty of Joe College
spirit and lots of pep. That was
the rah-rah era. Then the mar
ked group became the big-busi
ness-man-to-be group and econo
mic nationalism and money were
the chief topics of the day. That
turned out to be, of course,
somewhat a disillusioning per
iod, as it was followed by the
economic crash which wiped out
the collegians' ideas about "go
ing: to college, and making a
million dollars."
Nowadays, the leading men on
the nation's campuses are those
who are intensely interested in
the current political, social and
economic make-up. They are not
being fafoled about making
money or about what a college
does for a man on Wall Street.
No, they are seriously consider
ing what part every citizen must
play in the world after they fin
ish school.
As we said, the great mass of
students moves slowly along at
the same tempo, never particu
larly upset by the activities of
the active members of the cam
pus. They never have seen much
significance in the contemporary
efforts of their fellow leaders
along crusading or intelligent
lines. Rather, they've always
been content to get through and
go on living as before.
But we are going to predict
that at some time during the
next four or five years the ac
tive group is going to wake up
the inert group and then Ame
rica is going to have an orga
nized youth on her hands. Just
watch -the trend and you may
agree. P.G.H.
