All communications for this paper should
be in the hands of the Editor-in-Chief by
Wednesday at noon to insure publication the
same week; We shall be glad to publish
pertinent discussions of college topics. 1 The
Tar Heel will welcome news items, and hopes
the whole college will aid it alongthis line. !
We wish to call the attention of
the students to the rules and regu
lations governing the Library Reading-
Course Prizes, which we publish
in this issue, and to urge them to
give this plan the consideration and
attention which its importance de
mands. This is indeed an opportu
nity which all, who can, should
avail themselves of. This scheme
has met with the approval of severa
members of the Faculty of the State
Normal College and has, this year
been put into effect at the Univer
sity of Georgia. .
Now, it is useless to urge the im
portance of reading. Every one is
going to read something; every one
must read who lays any claims
whatever to scholarship and culture.
or who wishes to keep himself in
formed as to current events. But
this reading is generally done in
desultory way; yet it has its : value
and this value is great. ' How infi
nitely more valuable it would be i
done systematically along well-de
nned lines witn a definite purpose
in view. Now, the purpose of this
plan, in addition to encouraging and
stimulating the reading habit, is to
give the student an opportunity o
doing this sort of reading. And
herein lies the great value of the
scheme. "-
The courses have ' been marked
out by men who know what is the
best reading to supplement the
work of the regular college course;
Yet these courses are so broad and
; varied as to be in viting alike to every
student whether his tendencies be
towards literature,, science, art or
philosophy. Who can doubt the
culture of such a pian? Again let us
urge every bne who cafes to give this
matter due consideration and to avail
himself of the rare opportunity here
offered.
the work may not be delayed. The
editors are enthusiastic in this. work
and are laboring with determined
effort te make the Yackety Yack of
1903 the best annual ever gotten
out from this University. Many
new ie.itures nave already been in
troduced, and others may yet be
suggested. With the right sort of
support there is no reason why the
editors should not succeed in their
undertaking. Let everyone do his
best during the few days now re
maining before the book eoes to
press. :v? .
The Virginia tennis club has sent
a challenge to the tennis association
of this place for a match to be play
ed in Charlottesville at the time of
the baseball game there. - The ten
nis association here is being or
ganized, and a tournament is being
arranged for, to take place some
time in March. The challenge from
Virginia is still under consideration.
All tennis players are urged to join
the association and enter the tourna
men t at once A further notice
of the tournament will appear later.
Work on the Yackety Yack is
progressing very well, tho' the ed
itors are still in need of more fiction,
poetry, drawings, jokes and drags.
They hope to have the book ready
for press early, in February. All
those therefore, who expect to con
tribute anything for this annual are
requested to submit their produc
tions just as soon as possible so that
The Tar Heel was in error last
week in saying. Dr. George Depeu
Hadzsits would take Dr. Linscott's
place in the Department of Latin.
We take pleasure in correcting the
statement by saying Dr. T. J. Wil
son, Jr., will be at the head of this
department and that Dr. Hadzsits
has beensecured by the President
to assist Dr. Wilson. We hope his
stay among us may be pleasant .and
that he may be a valuable addition
to the department.
Don't Use Big Words.
In promulgating your esoteric
cogitations and in articulating your
superficial sentimentalities and ami
cable philosophical or psycholog
ical observations beware of platitu
dinous ponderosity. Let your con
versational communications possess
an exceptionally clarified conscious
ness, a compacted comprehensible-
ness, a coalescent consistency and
a concatenated cogency. Eschew
all conglomerations or flatulent
garrulity, jejune babblement and
asinine anectations. lver your ex
temporaneous decantings and un
premeditated expatiations have in
telligible and veracious vivacity
without rhodomontade or thrason
ical bombast. Sedulously avoid a
polysyllabic profundity, pompous
prolixity, psittaceous vacuity, ven
triloquial verbosity and vaniloquem
vapidity. Shun double ententes
prurient jocosity and pestiferous
profanity, obscurant or apparent.
In other words, talk plainly, brief
ly, naturally, sensibly, purely and
truthfully. Keep from slang; do
not put on airs; say what you mean;
i i ' L .... i ' 1 , .
mean wnat you say ana aon t use
big words. Ex.
