A few have already establish ed the semi-weekly but most of them are able to maintain only a weekly. A considerable number of the larger Northern universities publish dailies but it remained for the A. and M. of North Carolina to take the lead among Southern institutions in the establish ment of a full fledged daily. At one bound this pioneer institution went forward without even the intermediate stage of bi-weeklyism. Yesterday, content with publishing a creditable monthly this college is to-day issuing from the press an eight page daily which is right up-to-now. The paper deals primarily with A. .and M. athletics but incidentally it has the Associated Press news and ed itorially it took sides in the recent po litical campaign, occasionally having inserted between the pictures of the football stars the likeness of the "Peer less" to give variety. And when it comes to variety this paper is right there with the latest sensation in bil lingsgate circles and red headlines to match. In fact this paper has many of the earmarks of a modern daily newspaper. We congratulate the A. and M. on this remarkable and novel advance in "blazing out the path and making clear the way up which all the colleges must come in their appointed time." Hail, all hail the A. and M. daily! Skcluded as the University may be, in the Orange County woods and cut off as it ordinarily is from the hustle and the bustle of the world, last Tues day night the students were in direct touch with every pulse beat of this great country. Awaiting with fever ish expectancy they heard the election returns flash in. Some were all smiles from the beginning but a large major ity waited doggedly for the news that never came. When the news did come, party defeat and party victory were forgotten in the great fact that the American people and not a party had The lack of a good song book is large ly responsible for the dearth of sing ling among the students. This book will contain the old songs, some adap' tations to the new catchy airs, and the college yells. Messers. King and Plummer, the publishers, are depend ent for the new songs upon the rhym ing proclivities of the students. Try your ingenuity at making adaptations to the popular current airs. The schedule arranged by the Ten nts Association is an excellent one It includes matches with Wake Foaest and Davidson. Guilford has already been played and there is a strong proba bility of matches with the Virginia colleges later in the session. Not only is the schedule better than usual, but tennis generally has taken a brace; all the old courts are used every after noon and new courts, are under con struction. The possibility of winning the coveted N. C. has given a new im pulse to the game. The game with V. P. I. next Satur day is the hardest game on the sched ule. It is a game that will demand of the members of the Varsity every iota of energy and every drop of fighting blood that they contain. Com parative scores indicate a victory for V. P. I. of at least two touchdowns to nothing. But this is football on pa per and not on the gridiron. The Tar Heels, while realizing that it will be an up hill fight, are determined never theless to make it a fight to the fiu ish. A Night In Darktowti. Last Friday night at the negro lodge Prof. Kenneth Dunston of tonsorial fame and his valient com posers gave the play of the season. It was a three act vaudeville en titled "A Night in Darktowti" and was unparalleled for natural talent, humorous touches, and local color. The first act consisted of jokes, and dancing-. The clogging was a particular feature. Tom Snipes and Wilkes Caldwell made pigeon wings fly. In the second act the imperturbable Doctor Shute in the person of Doll Guthrie with his stove-pipe Xray and his hypodermic pump brought down the house. In the closing- act Prof. Dunston rend- ered a song, the words and music of which were composed by himself. The title of this master production was, "You Will Have to. Roost Out Doors". It proved beyond the per- adventure of a doubt that "music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.

Bruner, professor of romance languages at the Univer sity, and with an introduction by Dr. Richard Green Moulton, head of the department of general litera ture at the University of Chicago, made a choice; and every student, vie- has just been issued by Ginn and variously wrought children of the great romantic dramatist's heart and . brain as Hernani, Ruy Bias, Dona Sol, and Lucrezia Bor gia to find them life-like in Dr. Bruner's presentation. Literary analysis and the almost necessary use of a little academic terminology are here practiced without inflicting any weariness upon the flesh. Like Dr. Edwin Minis and other writers of our North Carolina colleges, Dr. Bruner is not one of the unfortun ately numerous scholars who tread heavily in their criticism. His Vic tor Hugo book does the State credit. The Modem Literature Club will meet tonight at 7:30 in no. 16 Alum ni. Two papers will be read: one by Dr. Archibald Henderson on "George Meredeth," and the other by Mr. C. D. Wardlaw entitled, "Hamlet and Hernani." There was a meeting of the Yackety Yack board Monday night, but, owing to the fact that only a few of the faithful members came out to the meeting, little business could be transacted. Let every member be present at the next reg ular meeting on Monday night. Messrs. R. T. Allen, '06, and R B. Hardison, '07, graduate students in geology and chemistry last ses sion, are now engaged in geological work with the U. S. Bureau of Soils.
