All communications for this paper should
be in the hands of the Editor-in-Chief by
Monday at noon to insure publication the
same week. We shall be glad to publish
pertinent discussions of college topics. The
Tar Heel will -welcome news items, and
hopes the whole college will aid it along
this line.
Now that the Spring- sess'on has
begunthe matter of the Annual
the Hellenian, comes up for consid
eration. A few words may not be
amiss.
The Hellenian came into exist
ence about years ago the Frat
ernities starting- the organization
for its publication. The design
was to publish an Annual thorough
ly representative of our whole Univ
ersity life.and td attain this end, the
cooperation' of the whole studen
j r . . .
Doay was sougnt. j. or vansous
reasons, these attempts wereunsuc
cessful, still they attempted for
many years to represent the Univ
ersity in ail respects to make i
true Colleg-e Annual. The '99
Hellenian was the last of the above
type. Owing to the time and labor
the Editors g-ave it, , it compared
very favorably with the annuals of
our sister colleg-es here-abont, not
withstanding that it had not the
support of the whole University.
.bast year the Editors of the '00
Hellenian decided that all that
could be reasonably attempted by
them was the-publication by them of
a really good Fraternity Handbook,
and not of a College Annual which
would be doubtfully creditable to
the University, and for whose im
perfections the University at large
would assume no responsibility
Their decision, it seems to us, was
a fair and reasonable one. That
they met with entire success, we
think all will agree. It took the
place of the former Hellenian in es
sential rospects, at the same time
doing g -eater Justice to the Ed
itors. This seems to be the best
that can be done under the circum
stances, and it seems to us, it is a
very good best at that. The cir
cumstances are what are to be re
gretted. It is to be hoped that the
University will, in time awake to
a realization of the desirability of a
true College Annual, and will de
vise some means by which an entire
cooperation may be brought about
to this end. There has been in the
past no such spirit and all attempts
heretofore by the exeistent man
agement of the Hellenian to bring
about such a spirit have failed.
Tar Heel Editor Elected.
Friday afternoon a meeting of
the Tar Heel board was called for
the purpose of electing an editor to
fill the vacancy made by Mr.
Kluttz's resignation and Mr.Drane's
promotion. Mr. J. C. B. Ehring
haus, '01 was unanimously elected
and assigned to the Exchange Department.
Tom Tackle.
Tom Tackle was a footba 11 man,
Who never thought of fear,
A quarter back came rushing by
And tore from him an ear.
A full back stopped him in a spurt,
Before he could dodge by,
And ere they separated there
Poor Tom had lost an eye.
And after one more sprint he was
Of his left arm bereft,
But cheerfully he murmured: "Now,
My good right arm is left."
A centre rush approached him with:
"Your pardon, sir, I beg,"
And in the tussle for the ball
He pulled off Tom's right leg.
'Twas then his sweetheart said to him:
"With sorrow do I scan
The remnants of your handsome self
You are but half a man.
"And though I pity you indeed,"
The charming creature said,
"I fear that we must say farewell,
For we can never wed."
Now, Tackle was a wise young man,
"Though I have lost an ear,',
He said: "Twill have a double charm
When your sweet voice I hear,
"And though my left eye's gone to rest,
Yet it is veiy nice,
For where I looked at you but once,
I'll now look at you twice.
"And though one arm is in its grave,
The other's strong as two.
Then, since one leg is gone I can
Ne'er run away from you."
So, they were wed, and Tackle thanked
What he called lucky fates,
For when he paid the marriage fee
Its cost him but half rates.
His wife declared: "I'll take no chance,
There's none of you to spare."
To keep him from more football.games,
She cut off his hair.
Tom Tackle is a happy man,
Yet sometimes says: "'Twould be
Much better had my hair been lost
Before the rest of me. V

Death of Mr. Shaw.
The saddest event which has oc
curred here this session was the un
expected death of Mr. R. Newton
Shaw, who died Tuesday morning
at about half past eight o'clock :n
the Infirmary. His illness was a
very brier one, only tour days.
The University at larg-e was totally
unaware of the serious nature of
his illness until Monday evening,
when it was known that he had
pneumonia. His parents, at E Ik
on Bladen Co., were repeatedly
elegraghed for, but owing- to im
perfect lines of communication, no
reply had been received up to the
ltne of his death.
Out of respect to his memory, no
classes, were held between the
hours' of eleven thirty-five and
twelve thirty. At twelve o'oclock i
Infirmary and attended a brief but
very impressive and appropriate
service of prayer held by Dr. Hume.
The body was then taken through
the country to Durham, Mr. Moore,
from the Freshman class, and Mr.
McDiarmidd, from the Philantrop
ic Society, of which the deceased
was a member, accompanying it as
escort. Mr. Shaw was twenty one
years of age, and was a first year
optional student.
The Secretary of the Treasury
at the instance of Senator Pritch
ard, has appointed President F. P
Venable, of the University of North
Carolina, a member or the assay
f-x
commission, which meets at irhua-
delphia Feb. 13 next.
