justed himself to the part created by
Ezra Stone and for his ability to catch
the "pudgy Penrod" air that is the most
charming characteristic of Henry Al-
ench. it is undeniable that Coogan
charmed the crowd which was a good
one from the point of view of reaction
and succeeded in establishing him-
seu as something besides a former
baby movie star.
uut the real credit and the real
reason for the permanent success of
this play is its high entertainment
quality. In the vernacular of Broad

APPLE-A-DAY
Budget Passing
StiU Messy
YOUR CHANCE
Apple passing, frantic antics
.by class presidents, and the gen
eral furore surrounding the an
nual passing of class budgets is
over until next September, when
a new group of successful poli
ticoes will have to worry over
teasing a quorum of lethargic
class members into Gerrard,
Memorial or Hill halls.
Freshmen haven't been ini
tiated yet but they've seen the
struggle.'
Bill Alexander, sophomore,
and Gates Kimball, junior, had
pretty fair luck getting their
constituency out, but Benny
Hunter and his workers failed
twice. Final resort was the prac
tical method of postcard ballot
ing. The favorable vote was se
cured. Repeating, the problem is still
with us.
The Student Legislature could
do the campus, almost every stu
dent, a great favor by setting up
a regular procedure for passing
budgets. It is the custom for
most communities, clubs, and
organizations to eliminate red
tape when it is proved that red
tape is merely cumbersome,
boasting no particular redeeming
feature.
Experiences this year show a
meeting or convocation is advis
able to invite discussion on any
detestable features of budgeting.
The procedure authorized by
the Student Council in the case
of the senior class might well be
adopted: a class meeting to dis
cuss the budget; a second meet
ing should-the number be less
than a quorum ; finally, the post
card method.
The Ways and Means commit
tee of the legislature has been
? J. X 1 X J . ...
instructed 10 araw up a Dill re?
garding budget-passing and it
will probably be presented at the
next meeting, January 23.
Such a measure would be a
high-speed accelerator to the stu
dent governmental process. And
time-savers are what we're seeking.

what is often called "wholesome" en
tertainment which endeavors to' tel
some sort of a story. It would be pre
posterous to deny that such type of
theatre is not completely valid and
even necessary. Indeed, it has almost
always proved the most profitable. It
makes no pretension to Art and most
certainly is not Art; But, as the boys
says, it is "commerical."
There are, however, a few places in
this play where some apt remarks about
the educational system are presented
Although pointedly meant for the ham
burger education of a large city, some
of the heavy satire could apply to cer
tain phases of our collegiate activities.
It is certainly a good thing for all. of
us connected with the academnic life
to get together once in a while and
enjoy a good laugh at our own ex
pense. It is regretable that many more
of us were not there last night.
An occasional dose of sentimentality
or smiling remembrances of our for
mer mistakes is always good. Mr. Gold
smith is to be thanked for at least not
having been patronizing in his char
acters, and for having admitted that
the problems of the half -young are
severe to them at least. It is of course
necessary to admit that there are many
more problems that Mr. Goldsmith did
not even insinuate. But that is dis
tinctly his own business. And he is
making money on Broadway while a
lot of us are chasing art down here in
Chapel Hill.

Such a heart-breaking scene is hap

your very noses. Fourth-year men are
awakening these cold, cruel mornings
to wonder what will happen after the
Governor's benediction in June. F&urth-
year women are just wondering.
Like W. Whitman (Eng. 82, Adams),
the seniors have discovered no fat any
sweeter than the flesh girdling their
own torsoes. Accordingly, they have
come to the conclusion that since this
is true, it would not be pleasant to
starve.
lhe poor creatures of the class of
1940, except those whose poppas own
a mill, are beginning to look with en
vious eyes on the filling station opera
tor, the grocery clerk, the hash-slinger.
These people have work, funds to eat
on. vvnat does the senior have? A
headache.
Do something somebody! ! Call out

ice, or the Democratic machine, but
the seniors are scared.

TAR HEEL DEAD
By MACK HOBSON
Since- it's leap year, why don't they
go at this thing whole hog or just
leave it alone? For instance, why
don't the women seize control of, the
government and put up Eleanor Roose
velt. for a third term?
Just think how thrilling it would be
to listen to Mrs. Paul V. McNutt speak
for the CPU. Maybe she, like her hus
band, would be known as "the hand
some candidate." If Mrs. Roosevelt
were her only opponent, she most cer
tainly would be.
I bet it would be a relief for the boys
to see the girls get out on the grid
iron next fall and batter themselves
pink for the glory of dear old alma
mater. What great fun it would be to
see the lasses get smeared for losses,
and to see them penalized 15 yards for
pulling hair and . scratching. Maybe
some would even break their necks.
The girls would get a kick out of it
too. They could whistle, beneath their
breaths and raise their eyebrows sharp
ly when some handsome young male
walked down the street. Some of the
bolder ones could even call out subtly:
Hello, toots!" On Saturdays, the
lassies could bum over to Durham and
see a movie. They would like that. f
Last but not least, I bet the gals
could put out a Buccaneer what would
be a Buccaneer

Speaking of K Dorm, it seems cer

Political Notes
To the . unsuspecting coed who hs
been wondering about the cordiality
of certain campus big shots since t.
opening of the winter quarter, we
hereby issue the following inf ortnaiion
spring elections are just around the
corner.
We heard one feminine old-tuner,
left over from last year remark, "I
double-dated with that boy at least six
times last spring and he never said
five words to me and now he binds
over backwards speaking to me."
It's the same old story with all the
"politicians." The peculiar thing
about the whole affair is that they
wait so late to get started with their
"politicking." The average coed isn't
so dumb that she can't see through
the sudden friendliness which springs
i up after Christmas in the "campaign
ing boys."
Last year one coed said to a friend
at the polls, "I'm voting for this boy
with me in the Book Ex. His friend
liness hasn't been this last-minute
stuff; he's been nice all year."
Most coeds like subtle campaigning.
To come right out and tell a girl to
vote for so-and-so because "he's a
good boy" is suicide to . the office
seeker. By carefully introducing in
casual conversation the reasons why
Bill Doe would' make a good president
of the student "body, her vote may
more likely be influenced.
Manyvcoeds would rather the office
seeker frankly admit that he was run
ning and would appreciate her vote
instead of all this gum beating, back
slapping, and last-minute dances that
seem to be common practices among
campus politicians.
. In other words," we ain't so dumb.
Give us credit for having a slight de
gree of intelligence when you boys
start campaigning this spring.

and from that to formulate

If it comes out with a minimum of
