As to r Virginia, we believe their not hold good on this date.and we know of no reason which would , keep .her from sending- her tennis players to Danville.'' At1 any iratei we hope that "the -Tennis ''association Cwilf give her the invitation. ;This method ' of recreation often leads to Ihe contraction of a very bad habit reading merely to pass away the moment. There is a time when light : read ing is benefical but too much of such reading is injurious.- It will cause you not only to spend your leisure hours to no advantage, but lias a tendency to make you neglect you re quired duties. An interesting nov' el has been begun and must be fin ished even at the expense of required work.,.; - ; No benefit is gained from such a course of reading, you are searching for nothing , and so . find nothing. You have no system but read what ever chance may throw in your way. This should not be the case. Our Library affords an opportunity for a jimitea amount oi , reading along almost any line. Then why not read books bearing on something of terest? ' If you insist on having some love in what you read, you can find many of the problems of the age treated in this wav, ' alsb an excellent knowledge of history from reading novels written on the epoch making' periods of civilization. 1 ;j Systematize your reading and you will see that a great deal can be learned while spending your leis ure hours. , . . f i . ..A. ... .-r principal reasons tor .not accepti our; liormer. invitation ; would .

It has been in in existence for a number of years arid is, at, present very noticeable. , The students have recognized it in tuany cases and have felt the lack .of some closer relation and ' some stronger bond between ourselves and them. . We areiri receipt of a letter from a. young alumnus in which he urges the!" establishment of an . 'Alumni Department" in the The Tar Hjjei;, He says: "What we need is an "Alumni Body", working in harmony' with the "Student Body,, and their President. To accomplish this, , we need a department in your paper devoted exclusively to 1 the Alumni." '':. r-' j The columns of The Tar Heei have always been open to the Alum ni and to them has been extended a special invitation to send us com munications. ' WTe.will be very ;glad indeed to establish such a department, believ ing that it would dp much to increase the .interest of " the Alumni in our college life' and in the progress of the1 University.' But we do not see how it would be possible without the aid and co-operation of the; Alum ni themselves.: So far we have not had enough encouragement from them to believe that such a depart ment, would be a success. But we do, not wish to be unjust Lto them. Their interest may be in existence, and only needing such a stimulus'to give it life. So we in vite any and all of them, to give us their views on the subject, for pub lication or not, and if we see that such a department would be a suc cess,' we will be glad ' indeed ' to es tablish it,' and Will give them ' a member of fthe papeVs staff whose duty it shall be to ; look rout for their interests' exclusively. The congregation of Oxforcf, Eng land, has rejected a resolution to allow 'women to take the "decree of Bachelor of Arts' At one time, the Athletic Associa tion was supposed to embrace in its membership every student in the University. At that time ho fee was charged nor ' was there any thing that could be called athldtic dues. - The support of our teams de pended entirely on the voluntary subscriptions. These subscriptions were then sufficient for bur athletic interests", as our games were almost entirely on our grounds or only a short distance from the Hill. Then came a time in which1 the growth of athletics far surpassed the growth of any other branch of University life. With the growth came an increase in expenses but no adequate provision was made to meet them. It is true that a fee of fifty cents a term was necessary to be a member of the Athletic Assoc iation. But this did not meet' the requirement. Men, who did not wish to give anything,refused to do so and the maiontv of those 'who did have enough college spirit to wish to aid in supporting our teams did not subscribe much more than just enough to make them members of the Association. . The result is that we are in 'debt heavily, several good games could not be arranged, and the advisory committe and managers are handi capped, so that they can do neither themselves,' the teams or the Uni versity justice in the schedule of games. Also such an arrangement has had a tendency to make the at tendance at the meetings onl'y a small per cent of what they should be, and, even when important busi ness is before the Association, bnly a few take part in the discussioA or seem to care what is decided. Another result is that by far the larger part of the expenses is borne by a minority of the students, j Truly, we have a sad state of af fairs to be deeply deplored anb if possible, remedied. j If some remedy is not found! we will be compelled either, to have our teams handicapped at ! the start or to increase the debt of the Association. With their usual wis dom, the managers and advisory committe will not permit the latter and We are compelled to submit to the first. ' , Is there no remedy? We think there is one which will greatly ! de crease, and in time remove the1 ex ' - 'it. . "l'r .' - c- I e ine existing evus. oo ! we would like to submit a plan for ; the consideration of the Association,' ur ging them to adopt it with any nec essary modifications. The plan is this: amend the con stitutioh so that every member must pay certain athletic dnes for !the session' paying half at an early date in each term; Also insert some ar ticle which would compel men1 to pay their dues promptly. We think' that four dollars a ses sion, half to be paid by University Day and half by Washington's birth day; together with "a law fixing the penalty ' for non-payment ' within that time as expulsion from the As sociation 'would fill the bill.1 ! , Now a few points as regards the plan.

A Wonderful invention Zoology teaches that the- hairs of the head are hollow, and contain an oil that gives them life. In clipping the hair with scis sors, this hollow is left open, and the hair loses its life-giving properties. I have a Machine named the Singeing Ma chine, which removes the hair and at the same time closes up the hollow, causing the hair to retain its life-giving properties, and therefore stopping the hair from falling- out or dying, and giving it a soft growth. Call and examine this machine and have your hair singed. Special attention given to dressing La dies' hair. Cutting done with exquisite and srtistis skill by the old University Barber of twenty years' experience. The singing machine is highly recom mended by scientists throughout the country.
