All matter intended for publication should bo ad
dressed to the Editor-in-chief and accompanied by
name of writer.
Entered at the Post Office in Chapel Hill. N. C as
. , second-class mail matter.
It is with afeeling- of regret that
we are ag'ain forced to call attention
in the marking- on the tablets in the
Memorial Hall. One mention should
suffice for those who will tor a mo
ment consider the foolishness in such
a custom. You gain nothing- by such
actions but instead the University
suffers. Yearly the Hall is croweded
with people "from all parts of the State
and among- these are many who have
put tablets into the Hall in memory
of some friend. These persons, and
indeed all, if the tablets are covered
with obscenelang-uag-e, will judge there
exists a soirit of irreverence for the
memory of our noted alumni. It wil
also have a tendency to leave a wrong
impression as to the way University
property is regarded 'by, the student
bodv as a whole. The number hav-
ing this light regard for its property
is small .but from the foolishness of
this small minority the attitude of the
majority will be 'determined.
It seems that at present the tablets
are being1 used by the Freshman and
Sophomore as bulletin boards on which
to post the latest discoveries as to the
character of the J other. One member
of the class, it may be through thought
lessness. writes his opinion on the
tablet. , This is immediately followed
by others until the tablet is covered.
Such a custom is useless. The Uni
versity furnishes bulletin boards for
the posting of any valuable announc
ment. And we take the liberty to
say that it will also furnish paper for
the writing of such notices rather than
the tablets used for the present pur
pose. So it will be more in accord to
use these and cease to disfigure the
memorials of men of whom the Uni
versity has aright to be proud.
From year to year there gathers
at Chapel Hill a large number of
young1 men for the purpose of study.
As this number increases many
new conveniences are added to meet
the needs of this increased atten
dance. But there are several bar
barous customs existing which have
received but very little attention.
And chief among these is the fac
ility for book getting. Books are
something with which every one
needs, and it is to use them that we
are here.yet anything can be gotten
easier.
Very often is it the case that a
class is forced to wait several days
on account of delayed books which
have been ordered for weeks. In
some instances subjects are finished
by lectures, before the books can
be gotten. We admit that part of
this is due to those who use the
books but in a majority of cases the
fault is due to the poor facilities for
getting books. It is no uncommon
occurrence to go into the book store
to order a book and be told by the
dealer that he is ignorant as to where
the book wanted is published. The
student is then forced to wait until
he runs the book down before there
is even a hope of getting what he
needs. While this is being done lie
is getting behind his class or it may
be, the work of the entire class is
being impeded.
Again, if any one wishes to pre-,
serve a copy of a periodical of
any kind containing an account of
- -
some event, he is unable to get it in
town. There are no facilities along
this line at all. ' v'
The dealers will no doubt claim
that there is no money in such busi
ness. How many of them have
made an attempt to build up a trade
of this kind? How many of them
keeps anything in stock that, there
is any risk in handling? This is
our trouble now. No one will or
der books or periodicals of any kind
except those for which specific pr
ders have been given.
Ivetone of. the dealers increase his
facilities for getting such supplies
and he will not lose for such an ar
rangement is a necessity.
We are sorry to see that J;he Ath
letic Association is still iridifferent
to the need of a change in its consti
tution, whereby the duties of the
Association could be carriedout in
more business-like and successfu
manner.
That the present system .for the
support of our teams is not adequ-'
ate cannot be denied. To come
down to hard facts, the present
base ball team is not decently equip
ped, and yet, if most of the cases
in the past serve as a precedent,
defeat by Virginia would result in yt
feeling that it was the team's fault
While the team is not kicking
about it, but instead recognize our
needs and make a sacrificeto meet
them, yet it is one of the examples
which show that there is a decided
need for a change in our methods
The method of the present is in
adequate. And it is because it
does not prescribe any amount which
shall be subscribed nor provide for
the payment of the subscriptions.
The result is that many men, we
believe a majority of the students,do
not subscribe amounts which they
are perfectly able to give anxl which
hey would be willing to give, if
such a method as we have proposed
were adopted. The cause of the
unhappy result has been an utter
ack of business methods. It can
only be removed by changing these
methods.
Also a motion has been made
hough not passed, in the Board of
Trustees to the effect that Athletics
be abolished. It was only throuarh
4 - . - , ,.. M
he efforts of President Winston that
it is not now a law. The Faculty
intend to present the cause to .the
Board and do all they can to prevent
such a step. But the Athletic As
sociation have taken no steps to aid
.hem. And why not?
It would seem that it was because
;he students took no interest in Ath
etics. But this could hardly be
true, tor the wail that would go
orth from the student, if such a
step were taken, would be heart-;
rending almost.
No, the reason is indifference, ai
mounting almost to laziness, among
the members of the Association.
It is out of keeping with our usu
al energy and we wish that it could
be removed.
Has the time not come when we
should aid the Faculty in the cause
of Athletics and at the same time do
our best to remove the existing evils
and place our Athletics on a firmer
foundation, in every way? Only
one month is left in which to do
work wh eh needs to be thoroughly
and well done. .
The Faculty on its representativ
es will no doubt be glad of any aid
we may give them. And it seems
rather ungrateful that we have not
even offered to aid them, when it is
for us, our pleasure and our good,"
mainly that, Athletics exist.
Let the Association wake up and
attend to these things. Let the Ath
letic life of the University be rid of
existing evils and then let us all
present to the Board of Trustees an
earnest plea and argument for their
sake. The Trustees are fair men
and they, too, will finally believe,
"that the greatest force in the life
of the University today, contribut
ing to sobriety, manliness, health
fuiness and morality generally, is
athletics."
We note with pleasure and inter
est a series of articles now appear
ing in The American University
Magizine Qon our University, Th
articles arc written by Dr. Charles
Baskeryille, Assistant Professor o
Chemistry. In his first article he
has presented a review of our col
lege life to the world, which is wel
worth reading and of especial inter
est to Nort Carolinians.
The second article will have for
its subject "The History of th
University of N. C." and the third
"Some Prominent Alumni of the
University of N. a We shal
wait for their' appearance with a
great deal of interest.

A Wonderful Invention
Zoology teaches that the hairs of thehea;
are hollow, and contain an oil tnatgw
them life. In cliooinc- the hair with scis
sors, this hollow is left open, and the hair
loses its life-giving properties.
I have a Machine namarl the SinffeillffB

same time closes up the hollow, causing tl(
nair to retain its lile-giving properiies,.
