Since then our attention has been called to a much more serious direction of this carelessness and destructtveness. The Tar Heel does not wish to be continually criticising-, but the abuse of the library privileges cannot be passed over. In order to encourage and leave un hampered the use of the library, students are allowed access to all parts of it without supervision by the librarian. This is a privilege not enjoyed at many institutions and one not appreciated here as the abuse of it shows. Instead of hand ling the books carefully and putting them back in their proper place, they are dog-eared, dirtied, marked up, pictures torn from them, leaves scat tered about, and when the reader has finished carelessly thrown down anywhere. Frequently, too, popular books mysteriously disappear to turn up again possibly in a month. probably not at all. To assist in the preparation of de bates, books and magazines bearing on the question to be discussed are conveniently placed by the libra rian, and everyone knows that this material is not to be taken from the library, as this would be unfair to those wishing to use it. But every one who does wish to use this mat i. f .1 .1 .i . . lct snows mar tms regulation is very often disregarded. Some time ago, two magazines containing valu able articles on the Transvaal ...i.- - -i qucauun were mispiacea, one was found hid away in an alcove, the other is yet to be found. This is doubtless due almost wholly to carelessness, but it is a very vi cious form of carelessness closely re semWing selfishness, and it is to be hoped in the future all will be more thoughtful. nent stand, particularv in Athletics and was here a member of 'Varsity Reserve foot ball team, In every way he bade fair to be an honor to himself and to his alma mater.

ItteetiflK of the University Forum The first regular meeting of the University Forum, the new Current Topics Club just organised, was hold iu the North - Math, room last Saturday. Mr. Graham, temporary chairman, called the body to order and stated the object of the meeting. The first thing to be done was to look into the report of the special committee which had been appoint ed to select a name and to frame the running works of the Club. The committee's report was accepted and and election of officers follow ed. Mr. E. K. Graham was elected President. Mr. W. F. Bryan, Vice Presidet and J. Ed. Latta, Secretary'. Mr. Graham then gave the pro gramme tor the club's first meeting and stated that the prospects were encouraging and very bright for an active organization, but that all de pended on the students. Letters From Southern Colleges. For some time past The 7ar Heel has been corresponding with some of the principal Southern col leges with which ihe University is more closely connected, with the purpose of having a monthly inter change of newsy letters, ; giving the most interesting facts at each institution and bringing the differ ent colleges iu closer contact with one another. We are glad to an nounce that a satisfactory arrange ment has about been completed, Vanderbilt, Georgia and Texas heartily co-operating. Sewanee has not yet been heard from but we trust will also approve, and we hope to publish one letter at least. before the Christmas holidays. Credit is due to Mr. Thompson, our exchange editor, for arranging this series. The Ideal Entertainers of New York gave an enjoyable musicale in the Chapel last Saturday night for the benefit of the Athletic Associa tion. The programme consisted of sing ing piano playing, violin soios, and recitations. A large crowd were in attendance. Messrs. H. C. Cowles, J. R Carr, J. M. Greenfield, Allgood Holmes, Whitehead Kluttz and B. S. Drane returned Monday from Statesville where they went to at tend the funeral of Mr. B. F. Long Jr. The semi-annual inter-society de bate for this fall will take place in the Phi. Hall to-morrow evening at 8:00 o'clock. The Trust ques tion will be discussed. Everyone is invited. The report of Dr. Hume's lecture will be published next week as it received too late for this issue. Prof. Noble spent a few days in Selma' last week on a visit to his father who is quite sick.

It was not intended to be a meeting in which a few elaborate papers were to be listened to, but one in which everyone could and would take part. Those who take the princi pal parts are to be merely leaders ia the discussion. If any point what ever to which anyone objects, if aa incorrect statement is made about which some one has better informa tion, if anyone wishes to ask a ques tion, state the objections, make the corrections, ask the questions. The central idea is to arouse interest in and impart information upon subjects in which we should be in terested and about which we should be informed. If everyone will take hold in an active way, a great deal of good will be done, but if each waits for the other, from indiffer ence, the purpose of the Forum will be thwarted, and little will be accomplished. It is to be distinct ly an informal affair. The initial meeting will be held in the Chapel this evening at 7:30. Participation in the exercises by everyone interested is urged. The Tar Heel extends its sym pathy to its sister institution, the Normal and Industrial College, in its distress at the epidemic of fever which has caused it to suspend for a time. Notice!
