AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER. FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1894. EDITORIALS. Last atear college men com plained that the ball games were scheduled off the Hill. In view of this Manager Kenan this spring arranged over, one-half of the games so that all might witness them. He has met so little suc cess and appreciation that money has been lost on the last three games, and the result has com pelled him to place the games with A. & M. College and Lafayette elsewhere. To those men who co-operated with him by coming out and upholding college spirit, instead of whining about its de cline and sitting in trees, on roofs and all other available places outside the park, he extends his sincerest thanks, and,' for their sakes, regrets the removal of the games from University grounds. WE HAVE just looked over the last number of the Wake Forest Student and find" it to be an ex ceedingly well gotten up issue. The department managed by Mr. Haywood is carefully and sensibly written, especially the last para graph. Thegentleman has reached the point where he can see four sides of a box and speak accordingly. Last Saturday night Doctor Hume -was interrupted several times during his lecture by noise in front of the chapel. It is hardly probable that a University man would intentionally engage in a disturbance of this kind; but, suf fice it to say, whether intentional or otherwise, those listening were deprived of so reat a part of the lecture that the Tar Heel re porter almost failed to get a syn opsis of it. It seems that regularly at the hours 8 130 on Mondays and Thurs days, and 9:30 Wednesdays and Fridays a brigade of hoofed quad rupeds break into the English room and hold riot with small intermission. There are four rooms below them, and they are occupied by men who desire to study and who are not constituted with nerveless diaphragms, neither do they have drumless ears. It might be well for Bill DcDade to see that the bars at the lower end of the campus are kept up hereafter. Our friends at the University of Virginia are trying in every way to find out who damaged the" college property, and "to raise a sentiment throughout thestudents which will make it absolutely dan gerous for any man, in the future, to be guilty of such ; an offence. We have certain rights and, as we are not children, it is our own duty and not the Faculty's to see that those rights are not trans gressed upon." This is the proper spirit, and one which we may well adopt in settling certain griev ances of our own. and to gain profit. But there are some men to be found in every college who try to keep others from enjoying what gives them no nleasure. These men are at Chapel Hill, we are sorry to say They did not have enough sense to enioy a truly literary entertain ment, and they determined that no one else should. And we all know the result. The noise that was kept up on different parts of the campus prevented many ot us from hearing what we were so interested to hear. At Amherst such a thing, should it occur, would have been treated by the college court. At Vanderbilt the offenders would have been put under the historic pump, which bears witness to a hard but effectual lesson to many of her students. But at Chapel Hill we only say that such a thing is disgraceful and 1 4 upworthy of the student body. ' ' Fellows, let us too show some spirit, and if it ever occurs again, let us make it so that no one -will ever dare en tertain a thought of doing such a thing again. W. F. Rambler is" still improving from his damages. He says that it is absolutely necessary for us to have lights in the halls. We hope he will soon be well enough to carry his point. If WE are sorry to see that The magazine is not out yet. it was due the 23d. Although this is said to be a double number, some of us think it a-triple number in time. Davidson College duck pond is not dangerous. Allow us to quote from the Charlotte Observer: " The return of warm weather brings increased interest for the pleasures of Lake Wiley. One of the boats, containing a rowing party of two (a young lady of Charlotte and a Davidson student), capsized recently. The water at the place of the accident is, fortun ately, not very deep, and before the gentleman could procure life-pre servers his fair companion had waded ashore." Last week mention was made in our columns about the shooting of bottles on the foot-ball campus. Fellows, this must be stopped. We all know how hard it is without glass to keep a team from being i4all broken up." What will it be if there is glass to cut the players on every "down." This thing cannot happen thoughtlessly so often. OFF TO VIRGINIA. On Thursday afternoon quite a party of Chapel Hillians took the westbound train for Lynchburg, where our first game with the University of Virginia occurred on the following day. The fol lowing members of the team went : Robertson, W., captain; Kenan, manager; Stephens, Lanier, Old ham, Honey cutt, Gregory, Stanly, Graham, E., Robertson, T. R., and Bailey. They were accom panied by Bryson, Graham, G., and Bridgers, composing the ten nis team; W. D. Carmichael, rep resenting the Tar Heel; and Emry, Coker arid Blair as "root ere." On Saturdav morning the tennis tournament with Virginia will take place at Charlottesville. Our ball games for the trip are as follows: Lynchburg, Va., May 4, with University of Virginia; Char lottesville, Va., May 5, with Uni versity of Virginia; Richmond, Va., May 7, with Richmond Col lege; and Greensboro, N. C, May 8, with Lafayette College. The team returns on Wednesday, May 9, on which day the second Lafay ette game occurs. Did You Say?

The Tar Heel desires to ex press its thanks to Messrs Clapp & Co., New York Bankers, for their handsome and valuable Souvenir for 1893. This book is indispensable to those interested in stocks and other speculations, and it seems no pains have been spared to secure definite and relia-'ble:ihT6rmatibn7;' "There's a time for sorrow and a time for joy." Dr. Hume has made a fine reputation as a speaker over the State. He is wel comed everywhere he goes and is always met by full and enthusi astic houses. Desiring to hear some of the lectures which were gaining a great reputation, some one requested him to make one of them in the chapel on last Satur day night. The chapel was full of those who were interested in Mrs: Browning, for that was the subject. They went there to learn THE LAFAYETTE GAME TO BE PLAYED HERE. We are glad to announce that Manager Kenan has finally de cided not to change the second game with Lafayette, and to have it played here. This was done merely with the desire to give the students an opportunity of seeing one more good game. Now let us all show our appreciation by turning out not on the roofs of the Physical Laboratory, and the New East Building, or on the South Building steps, and in the Library windows; but let's all fill the grand-stand and the gate-keeper's cash-box. If we do not back our own team, who will? We have just received a fresh line of PAINTS, LINSEED OIL, COPAL VARNISHES. He purchases Drugs of the BEST MANUFACTURERS, Such as Powers & Weightman, E. Merck & Co,, A. S. Thompson, Ed. B. Squibb and others, consequently he can guaran tee them to be of the best quality. Dr. W. H. WAKEFIELD, Will be in Chapel Hill on Saturday, April 2 1st, one day.
