Noble Experiment
KrnfflS PLAY-BY-PLAY account of the Caro
" lina-Tulane game is being broadcast by the
B-C Remedy company." North Carolina radio
stations had a profitable day Saturday giving out
Western Union reports on the big game at New
Orleans. They went so far as to include recorded
cheering and band effects. r , . ,
And when the studio needle wrung the last
cheer from the wax record, the fair name of the
University of North Carolina, unbesmirched and
pure for 144 years, was linked with that sordid
headache remedy B-C.
It wrung our hearts. We say a University
nay, an entire state addicted to patent medicine.
Poverty, ruin ... and the Keeley Institute.
All the University's noble efforts to stop this
monstrous commercialization had gone for
naught. B-C was to have broadcasted the Carolina-Tennessee
game. The administration emitted
1 an edict at the eleventh hour and B-C withdrew.
It cost the University a sum that nobody will
name. The Athletic office has the bill rumored -to
be somewhere between $600 and $1,000. -
And then Tulane said to North Carolina radio
stations: "Broadcast boys, and God be wi' ye."
Like prohibition, Carolina's non-commercialization
is, or was, "a noble experiment. But as Old
Janitor Sam said, "It sho' cost lots of people a
hell of a sight of money to get kicked in the
britches." S. W. R.
o Bend Down Sister
AFTER A MONTH of normal, sane college life,
the student body yesterday was subjected to
its annual deluge of nonsense by our otherwise
moribund sqphomore orders (the stress is on
sophomore), the Thirteen club, the Shieks, the
Minotaurs. And, as is the custom, it is now the
duty of the Daily Tar Heel to uphold the cam
pus pride by printing its annual polemnic against
the spectacle thus presented of how low the stu
dent may fall during his second year here.
But this article is not directed against these
orders. By no means. God bless 'em, they show us
how sane and normal and dignified we are. It is
directed against those who stand around watch
ing these poor devils and grin at them, laugh, at
them, and ridicule them. Though they bray like
asses, you students must remember two things:
that they have the forms of humans, and second
ly that you should be kind to dumb animals and
so you should take pity on them. Instead of laugh
ing, it is advised that students, get down to the
level of these men. Bend down and bray with them,
and then gradually by slow degrees, decrease
your braying and try to raise them up to the level
of the rest of the campus. And may he who brays
the loudest be elected president of his frater
nity. A. C.

Dubinsky to Browder
Q. Hello, Earl. You look tired.
Where've you been?
A. Tampa is a filthy city,
Dave. Don't ever go there.
Q. Is it as bad as Terre
Haute?
A. Dirty bourgeois they up
set the speaker's platform, Dave.
They had American Legion caps
on. Wish our party had fought
in some war somewhere. We
could get paid for protesting.
Q. What do you think of the
Constitution, Earl?
A. Filthy instrument used by
capitalism for oppressing the
masses ... outgrown a hundred
years ago . . . ought to be over
thrown and a dictatorship of the
proletariat should rule.
Q. They, didn't hurt you down
in Tampa; did they Earl?-
A. No, ' L ijust picked up a
couple of splinters iwhen we slid
off i;he bench. But I'm getting
tired "of these continued viola
tions of constitutional rights . . .
the sacred right of freedom of
speech is being violated.
Q. What do you think of the
Constitution, Earl?
A. Filthy instrument used by
capitalism to oppress the masses,
etc., etc.

HONOR?
To the Editor,
The DaHiY Tar Heel:
The University of North Car
olina Honor System ! What is
the purpose of a system of this
kind if the instructors disregard
it? A certain professor on this
campus at the beginning of ev
ery quiz asks his students to sep
arate and spread - around the
room. I am very much in favor
of the present honor system at
the University, but it is an en
tirely different matter when the
professors disregard it. If does
n't seem right when the teach
ers don't back up an issue like
that, which is supposedly one of
Carolina's main factors. What
can we do about it?

From The Music Box.
By ;Harold S.i Cone ' -
Miss Helen McGraw, in hr
Sunday afternoon concert at
Graham Memorial, proved to be
a highly successful pianist who
can offer her audience a good
program and make them under
stand what is in it.
The artist is an unusually
healthy musician in her straight
forward approach. She goes to .
the heart of the matter
whether Beethoven, Stravinsky
or Sciabin and presents ideas
of which she is confident she has
the meaning. Each piece offered
is genuinely felt by the inter
preter, but the listener enjoys,
because over everything the
. player feels, she manages to ex
ert control. Here is the perfect
balance.
. Understanding
Miss McGraw's tone is bold
and solid, but never harsh in at
tack, , and she phrases intelli
gently. Her playing is emotion
ally warm, but through it all, her
readings are marked by intellec
tual - understanding. She offers
one of the best means of hearing
piano music, one in which the
skillful virtuoso is not there to
divert us with his vaudeville
tricks,' his personality, or even,
, in the case that the music be
played too" supremely well, with : -his
unbelievable control."
Sunday's playing was surpris
ingly free from eccentricities. If
Miss McGraw has any, hers is
a healthy one namely, the tend
ency, at times, to set the tempo
slower than that of most pian
ists, perhaps even on occasion in
her Mozart and Beethoven and
her trills, a trifle too slowly.
Only Weakness .
If one looks for something
bad to say, it must be in the na
ture of limitations. With all the
warmth, fire, and intelligence in
the effective; execution of the
Brahms Rhapsody and Beetho
ven Sonata, there are. certain
profound characteristics latent
in the rumbling "daemonic" and
the quieter passages of the for
mer work, and- particularly in
the slow parts of the latter,
which are expressed in perform
ance only occasionally by the
most highly gifted usually by
performers of riper years.
This must be admitted, even
though it is difficult for us to
bear waiting until we are mid-die-aged
to inherit that capacity.
Meanwhile, the same works have
; so many other possibilities, that
young artists can play them ef
fectively enough.
Even the selection and order
of Sunday's program showed
thought Mozart and the three
B's were followed by Debussy's
late period with no Chopin rep
resented tb bridge the way,' in
asmuch as an early Scriabin was .
to stand at the end of the list:
Sonata Fantasie, Opus 19, a
work developed out of Chopin
esque material and technique
with only hints, mostly in the
second part, of the composer's
highly individual technique, later
to take root.
This striking work, perhaps
could be given the prize as mak
ing for the most inspired per
formance Sunday. Debussy oc
cupies an intermediate position .
both with respect to order of
events, and weight of . material,
and then the giesecking tran
scription of Strauss ' Staend
schen and the Stravinsky Etude,
made for just enough relaxation
from the rather serious ideas of
the other works. The Stravin- -sky
piece for all its tenseness is
but a series of electric shocks.
Tommy Sharp (Phi Kappa
Sig), Hill Hunter (Lewis dorm
ite) , and Frank Ewbank (Pitts
boro streeter) , all seniors at the
University this year, spent sev
eral days during the last of Aug
ust hiking through Pisgah Na
tional forest in western North
Carolina. Sleeping and cooking
was done in the open, but a
steady rain beginning the sec
ond day finally made the boys
give up the trip. .
Professor James Godfrey in
biology was telling the story of
how a star fish will pry open a
clam and eat the meat. Philan
thropic Jimmie Bryant of Pitts
burgh, Pa., feeling sorry for the
bivalves spoke up, "When I be
come a millionaire, I will buy
each and everyone of those clams
a clamp to put on its shell so
that it can protect itself."
Allan Truex, member of Phi
Kappa Sigma, approached a cute
young thing at a recent house
dance and asked her name.
"Mary Lillian Specks," replied
the young S pence rite.
"I didn't quite get the last
name . . ."
"You know, specks like flies
on the wall."
First Letter In Gym Contest Arrives

Mr. Charles T. Woollen, . -
Chapel Hill, N. C.
Dear Mr. Woollen:
During the four years in which I have attended the University
of North Carolina, I have found only one thing missing from a most
desirable college life that missing element is an adequate gymna
sium and swimming pool. The University has never been able to
boast of proper physical training for its students because of this
most noticeable lack of equipment. We have suffered greatly in
-three distinctive ways from the mere absence of swimming facili
ties. There are those boys who have always received their recrea
tion and exercise from aquatic sports, and who upon entrance in
this University are lost in the field of sports and recreation be
cause they know no other sport than swimming. Then there are
those boys who for one reason or another have never known the ad
vantages of water as a sport and' who do not even know what it
means to swim. To these the University should offer the privilege
of learning to be at home in the water as a precaution as well as a
benefit. The leading medical world all agree that swimming is the
best exercise that the human body can take. Finally, the University
suffers a great loss in not being able to compete with the other
North Carolina college teams in aquatic sports. Only once in the
history of this school has there been a swimming team, and, dear
friends, that year (1934) the team made weekly visits to Duke uni
versity in order to practice. This in itself was a disgrace.
We now have 3,000 students enrolled in this University. About
35 per cent of them are getting regular exercise. The other 65 per
cent are suffering from mental, and physical sluggishness because
they have insufficient facilities for getting their much-needed exer
cise. By the construction of a new gym, the University will be able
to give to each and every student the sport and exercise to his taste
be it swimming, fencing, boxing, basketball, or what haye you.
We have always wanted to raise the scholastic standard of the
r University and here is our chance, for a healthy body means a clear
mind and a clear mind means better work.
Sincerely,
Robert R. Williams, Jr.,,
Chairman American Red Cross-
