The Tar Heel will;. welcome news itenas, 'and hopes the whole ' collgge-will aid it along this line.. ;: 1 ; , .With such .favorable conditions of weather and climate as have been our good fortune for,; the . week or, two just past, ; the baseball-season has , gotten- thoroughly under, way. The daily line-up between the Scrubs and Varsity is even thus ear ly beginning to have a real interest for the spectators, other than .that afForded merely j by the critical in spection of therork of the new men and the, spectators are not lacking- alt the practice.; But they "Ah! ' you say, "So the 'kicking-' is begin ning to come. this early, eh?" . .. No, -it isn't., The fact, is, about the only good resolution made on New Year's morning- that the Tar Heel ,hasn t forgotten completely, is this one that it. was going to try to shake its, reputation as a '.'kicker."-,- Everybody knows, how easy it is to .criticise-- to suggest . how j this matter; or that is by. no means what it ought to be, to offer one's own pet theory as to the remedy. It is just possible that the zeal of the Tar Heel has led i t to .extremes in this way on some occasions, and the natural outcome is a reputation for cynicism. This is really undeserved. The. error has been of the head, not of the. heart. Of course there are now and then some things which ought not to be passed over in si lence. Sometimes the Tar Heel can "be sure it is delivering the kick of the whole student body as recent ly in, regard to the trouble in the li brary.';';; ; "' ' , ' 1 1 But ' there can certainly' be ho1 Wick ' Coming, now.' The way the crowd,-out on the Athletic field is sticking up to the team is air that could;, be desired! The applause which is. given the good plays is an exceedingly good sign. ! Tt seems to indicate that tin' "crowd realizes that-the team,' composed of so many Cotliparati '.vely new men, is more or less 1 an u n k'no vvn' q ua nti t y th at it therefore needs the ! encouragement atid evidence joll con lidehce ih it-on the part of the crowd, in Order for it toget confidence in itself; and that the crowd means to give that sup port- instead of indulging in that ! senseless and disheartening spirit of! foreboding which has bee1!! accord-, ed some bur teams. ' ' . ; ; : ) 1 j ') It may $ot be amiss to say here a j few word,s of self congratulation on taleVood fortune -ef our team in se curing the services of Phil Meade ascoach. Though he has been with the team only a few days, the re sults of his able coaching are al ready beginning to plainly show in improvement in every department, es pecially in the batting. : There nev er was a time when, from the char acter of our material, we needed a good coach worse than this spring. The acquisition of one of such a thorough knowledge of the game, and unusual ability as a player and as an instructor, and at the same time, of a gentleman of such engag ing personality, is something in which we may well take pleasure and satisfaction. Under his instruc tion, and with the backing of the students, we may be confident that the team of 1901 will be in every way up to Carolina's standard. The services conducted during the past week by Mr. Weston-ft. Gales without doubt, have been successful. They have been well attended throughout by the young man to whom especially he came to talk, and thoug the outward professions on their part of renewed acceptance of the great truths which may be presented may have not been many, still it cannot be doubted but that hs clear, concise and logical pre sentation . .of the claims of Our Lord, have .made many a man think earnestly, and though quietly, ex amine himself, and look to his Chris tian duty with new and stronger purpose. A Course in Argumentation. Carolina has been unusually sue cessful in her debates with other in stitutions These victories may be attributed to what you will, but it is plain to the close observer that these debates have been won by the undivided , energy of the debaters and by , this alone. The student body has given practically no sup port to the debaters until after the victory has been won, and support by the faculty has been with one ex ception totally unsystematic. . We need improvement. The three divisions of our debat ing system are (1) literary societies, (2) scrub debaters, (3; faculty in struction. , The literary societies are doing fine work and are improv ing daily. The system of scrub de bates instituted last year was a step in the right direction and these de bates are accomplishing much good, it is of number three that the writ er wishes to complain. We need a course in argumenta tion. There is a course in argu mentation offered, English 3, which, is a very good thing in its way but owing to the fact that the instruct or is ovorloaded with work this course isn't made to weigh enough. The writer believes that there ought to be a thorough practical course in argumentation offered, that it ought to be open only to those who have proven themselves proficient in de bate, and that it ought to be supple mented by a course in such as is now offered by Mr. McKee. The good to be accomplished by such a course is self-evident: it would per fect our debating system in that it would make the efforts of our de baters thoroughly systematic. In addition to this it would give pur debaters the "platform finish" so to be -desired, lit would afford criti cism and instruction adopted for further development. The moun teers would not labor, as at present, and a "cussing out" come forth. Let us have such a course by all means. The catalogue will soon be out and let us see in it a course in argumentation. The writer be lieves that there are three men in the faculty capable above all others of giving such a course: Professor Williams, in that he has made de bating a life study; Mr. Graham in that he has had considerable prac tical experience in debating; Mr. Warshaw in that he has been thor oughly trained in debating at Har vard, where the courses in argu mentation are the best in the coun try. Now, gentlemen, donH tell us that you would like to give us such a course but haven't the time. Please don't be like a friend of mine' who, when I asked him if he had enough confidence in me to lone me a dollar, replied that he had the confidence but not the dollar. . '01.
