Ab eceoanan opms Out Frosh By ROGER WILL COE Well, here we go again in an other swing of North Carolina's oldest abecedarian merry go round, the 161st opening of Tar Heel-on-Franklin. And the urge to preach at, sermonize to, and take from, so far as the new frosh class is concerned, remains as strong as it was when Upper Classman Cain interested himself in the affairs of Freshman Abel at old Eden Agricultural & Un mechanical. It is, however, an urge to be purged, and not merely because the Bibilical example of "cor recting" freshmen eventuated in Civilization's unswerving solu tion of how to handle non-conformists: "Kill 'em." Ah,' no. Times have changed . . . and to-day wc-uns matriculate at a reason able facsimile of Eden A & U with this one improvement: . we are now, the colleges and univer sities of these allegedly United States, Eden Agricultural & Mechanical: 4,Let 'em kill them selves!" And they will, the fresh men, kill themselves academical ly, physically, mentally, morally, spiritually and incentively, to the tune of one half the class by the time Commencement four years hence hoists its mortar boarded double-dome on the scene of academical carnage. BRIGHT PEOPLE But this decimation to the fifth-power of our bright young college people is not to be taken as the end of everything for Civ ilization. Indeed, even if the whole durn class was to fall on' its assegais by the end of the fourth year, throughout the United States, we'd bumble along some how; because, since the first and most important requirement for admission to college is the fi nancial requirement, and since one third of the top two percent of our high-school seniors, intelligence-wise, are unable to en ter college, one-third of our best brains would Jiave been at work those four years making the moola to pay the taxes; and any politician,' from two-bi ward heeler to the peerless-leader clasj which is another way of saying, from left to right can tell you that paying taxes is the sine qua non of Good Govern ment; and any politician now in office can tell you, if you can find him in his office, that Good Government means supporting the incumbent government. FROSH Ad VIC Spoonerisms & t : Palindromes fully "and" wards strained, and besides that! doesn't read right back Words dominate our lives so much that it is a good idea to take them out an play with them and slap them around once in a while, just to show then who's t Greensboro tkiibj Ketcs It is the fashion to rush at or into anything and everything; so to be in fashion, we rush to say that aeademic mortality . is nejther the aim nor the wish of the Faculty, whether fur-bearing, forbearing, or completely indif ferent. It is reliably estimated that one-half of our college pop ulation populates carnpi of our nation because their bucking, middle-class parewtes.. wish tt demonstrate something that ain't so, to wit, or to half-wit, tha they can afford to send them. ADVICE So . . . here we go again . and despite our earlier lies to the contrary, we chip in some small advice to the frosh class: 1. Keep your cotton - picking hands off other people's proper ty;. -. ' .v;-: : 2. Keep your cotton picking hands off other people's persors . . . social activities excepted, of course . . .' 3. Don't, be a hypocrite unless Politics is your goal; A Be pefc?nally responsible for yourself and to others. ' ' ' 5. And . . V Beat Dook '. . .! ; Spoonerisms were named after the Rev. William A. Spooner of Oxford ' University, England, who l was always getting his words mixed,' palling a crushing blow a ''blushing' crow" and saying to a lady' in church, "Madam," you are occupewirig my pie!" ' J T Word players ' go to all ' lengths to imitate the Rev. Mr. ; Spooner. Thus when the' Basques ; got bombed while crossing a gap ; jn the Pyrenees cluring a" war, somebody saaj it just showed j what comes of "putting all your ' Basques in' one exit" pf course th Tfnjted und is a matter of "putting all your tegs into one askit.' When ' little' "i-ena finally got' her parents per "eontrol, tne process was inevitable' de scribed by the neighbors as "the teasing power of Lena." Palindromes are sentences which read exactly the same way backwards as forwards. The best known ones are: "Able w;as I ere I, saw Elba" and Madam I'm Adam." Others are "Niagara or roar again," and "Nor I nor Em ma had level'd a "hammer on iron." Webster's New Interna- tional Dictionary gives this ex- j aniple: "Lewd did I live & evil I did dwel," but this seems aw-; Quote, Unquote DON JUAN .... In this Palace of Lies a truth or two won't hurt you. Your friends are all the dullest dogs I know. They are not beautiful: they are only dec orated. They are not clean: they are only shaved and starched. The are not aignitiea: xney are only fashionably dressed. They arc not educated: tliey are only college passmen. They are not " religious: they are only pew- renters. They ; are not moral: they are only conventional They are not .virtuous: they are only cowardly. They are not even vic ious:1 they are only "frail." They are hot artistic: they arc only lascivious. They are not pros perous: they are only rich. They are not loyal, they are only ser vile; not dutiful, only sheepish; not public spirited only, quarrel tic; not courageous, only quarrel some; not self-controlled, only obtuse; not self-respecting, only vain; not kind, only sentimental; not social, only gregarious; not considerate, only polite; not in telligent, only opinionated; not progressive, only factious; not imaginative,, only superstitious; not just, only vindictive; not generous, only propitiatory; not truthful at all: liars every one of them, to the very backbone of their souls.

Love is a bubble Which never1 shall burst But Eve was in trouble For knowing it first. By" Witter Bynner in The Saturday Review Further, if the entering frosh class did survive our collegiate obstacle-course, we woul be in a'' dither,' to say the least. It is a fact that the 'f:r?hman and sophomore classes are the profit classes, moneywise; that junior and senior classes break even; and that graduate schools cost money Many are called to Wool len Gym; but few, comparatively speaking, are chosen to- break even. Graduate schools are nec essary to tone up the diggings and to supply a hew crop, sea sonally, to augment the degree bearing (as distinguished from the fur-bearing, or Lower Edu cation) ranks of the Faculty. HONESTY An old and trusted flunkie was left in charge of a store for the afternoon. Business was slack and he began idly looking over the stock. Finally, he tried in a pair of boots that he had eyed for several days. They fit per fectlybut the price was S15. Reluctantly the old man took - off the ' cherished treasure, and turned his attention to another pair, priced at $3. They also fit. so he wore them away, mumbling1 to himself: "Now, some folks I know woulda took them $15 jhoes, but not me! I is honester than them!"
