THE SENIORS AND THE LOYALTY FUND The Alumni Loyalty Fund, as outlined in the November Alumni Review, after having- met with hearty approval from the alumni, has; in turn, been endorsed by the trustees. The plan is, by this time, familiar to most of the students. The purpose is to es tablish a fund "separate from all other University funds," to be supported by fifts from the al umni, both great and small, and to be "admistered by a group of alumni trustees, appointed by the President." The proposed fund was clearly - treated by President Graham in his recent report. "It is fully recognized that the University is a State institution, of and for the State, and that the support of the State, and that alone, can make it adequate to the rapidly growing" demands of the State. The alumni fund proposed would always be auxiliary to this State support, and proportionate ly small; but there are many things that might be added to the beauty and usefulness of the institution that never will be ad ded from the State funds, and there are now thousands of loyal sons of the University, and there will be thousands more in the years to come, who will de light to contribute to its upbuild ing, and who will be better Uni versity men for contributing. These men do not contribute be cause they haven't a sufficient sum to contribute in the large way necessary to make an individual contribution count. They can not gve fifty thousand dollars, nor five thousand dollars; but they would eagerly grasp the op portunity to give five dollars, or afty dollars, or a hundred dollars a year." The discussion of gifts is time ly not only because the devising of this plan has brought the sub ject to the attention of the cam pus. Anyway, it would be a timely matter for the consider ation of the Senior class. The . ijuestion has already expressed itself: What shall the class give the University? ' "Classes with efficient class or ganizations can continue, as they do at present, to contribute di rectlv to their class funds; and the classes can continue, as in the past, to vote their gifts to pur poses as they choose, but they may, if they choose, vote to add their class fund to the alumni fund." The suggestion is worthy of consideration. At Vanderbilt there is a Ten Dollars a Year Club composed of one hundred members of the Senior class. Each member has promised to contribute ten dollars a year for ten 3ears, the. entire amount to be turned over to Vanderbilt Uni versity. We do not, necessarily, advo cate such liberal donations. A much smaller sum would be of vast service to the University. If, as was suggested at a class smok er last fall, each member of the Senior class should agree to give two dollars his first year out of college, three dollars his second, and five dollars his third, the class would have no small sum to ve the. University at its five year reunion. The present Senior class would have the privilege of being the first class to endorse the loyalty fund and the first to subscribe to it. TRACK TROUBLES The Manager of the track team states that there is a short age in the number of track can didates this year, particularly among the freshmen. Ordinari- y this is to be deplored, but this year, when we have a schedule of some difficulty, it is particular- y to be regretted. But regretting is not a specific for the trouble, insists the manager. Interest, alone, is the remedy, interest which expresses itself in action. Every afternoon practice is held on the track. Every student in college, particularly freshmen. s urged to come out. Captain attersou will welcome any one lesiring a position with his de collete squad. ' '" - ' ; HE UNIVERSITY MILITARIZED Capt. John A. Parker is a Charlotte member of the board of trustees of the University and by reason of his long-time interest in military affairs, his views are of interest. When seen by an Observer representative yesterday Mr. Parker expressed himself reely. declaring that as yet he nad not come to any conclusion on the subject, in so far as it re- ated to the University nor would le, until he had studied the prop osition more fully. "As a general proposition," re marked Captain Parker, 4I am doubtful as to the value of a mili tary department as an adjunct to any large university or college where the literary feature pre dominates in the curriculum. I From the standpoint of the indi-j vidual student, I don't see how any great results can be achieved for only three hours a week can be taught and that limited effort where the student has other stud- ies that take up four-fifths oV five-sixths of Ins time and energy caudo much.

A Meeting Three Views of Life . "What is Life?" was the theme discussed by Mr. Moss to a group of students at the regular Tues day evening meeting in Gerrard Hall. , He explained that there are three views of life from God "The first, and one that looks mighty nice on the surface, is passive; we will call it Idealism. The idealist would take things easy ; if it suited him to retire early and ' sleep late, that is the thing he would do, or if he found more pleasure in staying away from a lecture than attending it, then he would stay away. "Being passive doesn't get a Christian very far." "The second view is explained br the hundred and twenty-first Psalm: 'Behold 1 he that keepeth Isiael shall neither slumber nor sleep.' Here we have an example of the very active Christian, aud we can call this Behaviorism. We have behaviorism in every thing that interests man. Look at the mountains, they seem ac tive, look at the plains, they seem passive; we read passive and ac tive poetry, some texts in the Bible are active, others are pass ive.' "The active Christian is all well and good, provided we don't act just for the acting, or because we think we have it to do; but rather let it be the outcome of a great spiritual power. And if it be from an innate desire to glorify God, then we have the third and real view . of., life exemplified through the source, Jesus Christ. Then let us by reading good bi ography, especially the NewTes tameht, keep ourselves linked to the source." V :';,; , Dr. Booker Away Next Year Dr. J, M.
