OUR GERMAN.
On Wednesday jiighUlast under
the leadership of Mr. J. Iv. Pat
terson, the annual spring german
of the University German Club
took place in the gymnasium hall.
For days before, the dancing
men of the University -had; been
on tiptoe" with the rosy anticipa
tions of a good - time, and . great
were the hopes that were founded
on the hoped for presence of such
a multitude of ladies such as had
never been seen on the Hill at
any time except commencement
but alas it was not to be, and the
hopes were dashed away unful
'.: filled.. " .v'
"The best laid plans of mice
and men gang aft agley."
And so it was in this case lor
instead of the twenty or more ex
pected only twelve damsels have
to beard the lion iu'his den, the
Chapel Hillian in his lair.
And the stags ? Never had such
a crowd of them been seen at any
.springtime dance given here.
Just think, only forty of them,
and only twelve girls ?
The following couples were
present: Miss Cannon, Graham
G. ; Miss Klutz, Craige B. ; Miss
Nellie Heartt, Grimes; Miss Tom
linson, Blair; Miss Matilda Heartt,
Myers; Miss Scales, Robertson;
Miss Collins, Bridgers; Miss Er
win, Brem; Miss Watkins, Mc
Rae; Miss Craige, Emry; Miss
Green, Little; Miss Graham, Bor
den: Dr. aud Mrs. Loudon; Mr.
and Mrs. Hal London; Dr. and
Mrs. Tolmau.
Chaperones: M rs. Guthrie,
Mrs. Allison, Mrs. Armstrong and
Mrs. Lee.
The stags were entirely too
nnmprntic fn irirnrinii nf lno-rli.
i lie visitini? eeiitlemen were;
Messrs. Arthur Lyon, Paul Sneed,
Fred Green, Will Willard, and
Fuller,, of Durham; P. C. Gra
ham, and ' 'Hacker' ' Mebane, of
Hillsboro; Mr. John Schenck, of
Greensboro.
The german was an entire suc
cess and .much' credit is due to
Mr. J. L. Patterson for the effi
cient management of the affair,
leading not only a pretty german
bur in such a way as to satisfy
even the stags. :
AFTER THE GERMAN. .
First Fresh. Say old man how
many leads did you get ?
Second . Fresh. I didn't eet
any, How many did you get?
First Fresh I got the promise
of one. .
THAT GOOD MOVE.
Messrs. Editors.
In your last issue appeared an
article written by some optimist,
some easy goingindividual, where
in was discussed from one lone
point of view the motion lately
passed by the Dialectic society.
While not wishing to injure the
feelings of the 'gentleman' who
contributed the discussion above
referred to, 1 reel it my duty to
say, that for his own personal
benefit and reputation it behooves
him to stay in the background
and learn that there are two sides
to everything and where one ac
tion may result in good, other
forces may be loosed which will
complicate and confuse the very
obiects and processes in hand.
Now I agree with the gentleman
towit, that there will be se
cured for the society a more earn
est and zealous set of .workers,
and probably through the efforts
of these men, some good, pub
lishable literary work. But I
would like to see by what means
the men who resign can be made
to respect and accept rules and
regulations passed - by their erst
while fellow members. The for
bidden square: breaking of glass,
throwing of stones toward memo
rial hall, conduct in library and
reading room together with many
other like matters have been un
der society supervision. These
men by resigning have relieved
themselves of whatever claims the
society had oyer them, and other
authority must take upon itself
the controlling "of the body re
signed. Now to whom must the
power be delegated ? To the re
signers themselves, or to the fac
ulty, or to the body of students
in congress assembled? Here is
an important matter, but suppose
it settled, another consideration
demands attention. What about
the Magazine, which with the
united support of every student,
supplemented' by the indefatiga
ble efforts of Professor Cobb, can
barely get along even now. The
tax.or fee heretofore levied by the
societies on the individual mem
bers has been insufficient to meet
the necessary expense of publica
tion. Now when the society
membership " is diminished this
source of revenue necessarily be
comes contracted and the Maga
zine will suffer for want of avail
able funds. The result will be
either no Magazine or a yellow
hinged periodical characteristic of
some ''morohypic" institutions in
our knowledge. Will the ex-
ing to support a periodical whose
editors are elected by and from
out of the body from which they
have resigned ? Will not these
men claim positions on the edi
torial staff and will not this cause
a readjustment of the whole stip
illations now existing between the
Di and Phi societies ? So much
lor mat. . i ne election ot mar
shals and other commencement
officers which has in the past been
governed by the societies will
have to be shared with the col
lege men who belong to neither
of the two. 1 hese are some of
the few matters which will de
mand prompt attention and cool
procedure , oik the part of the
thinking men in the University.
Is not the problem deeper than
the gentleman who favors the
motion thought? Can satisfac
tory arrangements be so easily
made after all. ?
