The destruction to college proper ty on Wednesday night by the mem bers of the different classes here is more characteristic of barbarians than of college students. It seems that this must take place every year and the place of attack must always be the same. Those not taking- part in such barbarism are as much blamed and have to suffer just as if they- were participants. If the elec tion of the officers of the Freshman class has to be stopped, then let it not be done in a way that calls forth , so much blame and comment. The whole college alike has to bear the burden of such loss of property and it is not fair that all should be held responsible for the deeds of a few. However, it seems that no remedy can be suggested for there is no way of finding out the perpetrators. The only remedy possible must come from the student body. dents that there is some incentive for them to work along this line that a large crowd of candidates will daily be present at the practis es. We hope the proper authorities will take hold of this matter and try to bringv forward some scheme by which interest can be stirred up among the students to bring track athletics on equal footing with the other branches here. It is very gratifying for us to note in the State papers that MissSallie Walker Stockard has been spoken of as candidate for State Librarian. So far as we know, Miss Stockard is the second woman who has been spo ken of as candidate for that impor tant State position. There have appeared several other candidates, all of whom are excellent men and worthy of the confidence aud re spect of the whole State, but there is no one in whom we feel so deeply interested as Miss Stockard. She came to the University, joined the class of 1898 and was the first wo man to graduate from this Univer sity. While here as a student, she showed that in her was to be found all the qualities that go to make a pure, brainy woman of whom N. C. could be proud. Some may object to having a woman as State Libra rian, although other States have honored worthy women by giving them places of public trust, and we as a student bodyjdo not object to seeing Miss Stockard honored by the State, nor do we believe that the General Assembly could make a better selection. If our asking would do any good, we as a student body would gladly ask the Legisla ture to honor this deserving woman. In so doing, they will make no mis take or misplace the trust. We knew whereof we speak. May this society, which stands for the best and the highest in the way of scholarly attainment in this University, not fall into disuse and decay and the efforts of the uuder signed have, be it known, been di rected towards elevating it to its former position and prestige.

We are sorry that such an article In another column of this week's Tar Heel, will be found a general write up of our Athletics here. From this we find that no attention is being paid to tennis and track Athletics, However, there is some assurance given that as soon as the weather permits, the Tennis Asso ciation will take steps to arrange a tournament and thus revive interest in tenuis here. In track Athletics, we find nothing done nor do the prospects indicate that anything will be done to bring this branch of Athletics on an equal footing with foot-ball and base-ball. In all col leges we find the track team as im portant as the foot-ball and base ball teams. There is as much hon or to be a member of this team as it is to be a member of either of the latter. Even the preparatory schools of the State send teams here during the Spring to compete for honors on the track. Why is it then that Carolina can not get up enough interest among her students to let this branch of Athletics be rep resented here? We do not think that there is lack of material. It must be because no one will take hold of this matter. Men will not " go out unless there is some one there to direct them and train them. We "believe that if a captain or at least a temporary one be appointed and every assurance be given the stu- Alpha Theta Phi. An article entitled "Alpha Theta Phi" appeared in the Tar HEEL of February 1st in which attention was called to the decadence of this society. This sentence appears: "The officers of last year never looked up the standing of '99 and consequently nothing has been done." This statement is xvholly without joundation. The officers of the society, namely the president and secretary, spent some portion of a day, early in January, 1898, in the register's office looking oyer the grades of the class of '99 and found five men from that class, viz ; Messrs. J, R. Carr, C. B. Denson, John Donelly, Marsden Bellamy and J. K. Dozier eligible to mem bership. Morover, on date of Feb ruary 10th, 1898, a meeting , was held in the Modern Language Room Archibald Henderson presiding, at which meeting the aforesaid gentle men were duly initiated. Mr. J. R. Carr was found to have received the highest grade in all cbsses from the time of his entrance into college until after the Christmas examinations of that, his junior, year. Hence at the expiration of the collegiate year, the duties of peesident, by the laws of the socie ty, devolved upon Mr. Carr. v The hope is ventured that this ex planation will remove any suspicion in regard to the neglect of the duties pertaining to the officers of the col legiate year of 189798. be consistant with our interests and and profit. Surely it is incumbent on us to think of this matter and when the opportunity presents itself turn it to the srood of our patrons. Anv one who has ever tried to solicit adver tisements from merchants in our neighboring towns has sometimes met with the complaint that this principal has not been observed. This comes from men who have "ads" in every publication issued at this college, Of course one's own interest and commmerce should be consulted and followed but this is no excuse for thoughtlessness. has brought forth such a reply for it was written only to bring about some steps in the line of reorganiza tion of the society and the one to do this was, we thought, the president of last year, Mr. Henderson.

Alpha Theta Phi. Communicated. In this issue of the Tar Heel will be found a communication from Mr. Archibald Henderson '98 last year's President of Alpha Theta Phi in which he replies to an article of the same name of last week's is sue. This gentleman seems to take offense at the sentence "The officers of last year never looked up the standing of the class of '99 and consequently nothing has been done." He, moreover, denies such a statement as being without foun dation. In reply to which we would say that if the officers from the class of '99 were looked up, the class has never been informed of the fact.
