' Single Copies, 5 Cents A GENTLE REMONSTRANCE During the course of the Wake Forest game here Saturday, part of the crowd in the Carolina Stad ium did two things unworthy of any group of men anywhere. It laughed and jeered at a mem ber of Carolina's team who was warming up on the side lines pre paratory to entering the game. It addressed several remarks, per sonal and calculated to rattle, to the Wake Forest team. The first act was not only a dis couragement to our player and our whole team, but it was also an in sult to Carolina. The persons wlio did the laughing and jeering, of course, "didn't mean anything by it" Nevertheless, the effect was the same. There is a certain class of men in every community who instead of doing any useful work "just sit around" and ridi cule those who are doing things far better than they are doing them themselves, who are striving by hard work to better themselves and help tbeir community, town. family or team. The former class of persons, unconsciously, does more real harm to a community than all of its liars and hypocrites, foot-pads and thieves. The liars and hypocrites merely entangle the ideas of a community ; the foot pads merely assault, ; sometimes maim,-its individuals; the thieves merely secure a different distribu tion of community wealth. But the men who thoughtlessly laugh and jeer at the individual who is unselfishly doing his best, they kill the community spirit of aspiration and service. The hooting at the Wake Forest team was an insult to fair play and good sportsmanship. We know, of course, that the greater ' part of the men in the Stadium were gentlemen oneugh to conduct themselves as such un der any ordinary provocation and that those who did the jeering at one member of the Carolina team and the hooting at several of the Wake Forest team were only a sparse and thoughtless minority. But that loud-mouthed minority is enough to make even heaven look like the place whither the broad road paved with good intentions leads. siming for courts. In the last three or four years the men who have played tennis have wasted almost as much time waiting for courts as they have waiting for the mail. Think of itr ' ";v;v;;;:,;T;; v. , The new set of tennis regula tions is only an experiment, but it is a much needed one. It is the duty of every tennis player here to do his best to help them to work with efficiency and without f ric tion: A Carolina Looking Glass Last week, Ladies and Gentle men, we announced to you the sub ject for this week's mirror, i. e., "what do you expect to get at Carolina?" and here are the re plies : "I expect to get poise and pow er in the association with other people," said one sober student, "not only with men that are my equals working toward the same goal, but with minds that are su perior to mine and able to teach me by common contact. Associa tion, in, my mind is the greatest thing in college." -'What I expect to get at Caro lina," said another, "is a degree (if nothing happens). Of course it may, mean a few 'fours' before I can do it, but Dad is looking for the time when I can go back home. B. A." "I expect to get general train ing while I am here," was the reply of our theorizing friend. "I want physical training that I may have a good body to dwell in men tal training that I may earn a good living ; and practical train ing that I may be read v for the battle of life." , " "Of course I expect to learn something" there was a twinkle in his eye as he said it "but I think a fellow ought to have a good time along with it. You are not young but once and if you don't take time by the forelock I don't see as thert's any chance." "1 expect i my training at Caro lina to educate my original (sounds like he's had psychology) nature so that I may live rightly in a civilized world." One fellow generalized: "When a man is born, he is no more than a mere animal and it, is up to the Uni versity to so modify and redirect those instincts and emotions that he may become a highly civilized human." HONORS AT GRADUATION TENNIS REGULATIONS Whoever has gratted a 10 :40 class and sprinted down to the ten nis courts in hopes of waitinc: there in the sun till 12:30 in order to sign up for one for four and then found that there were a score of men ahead of him: Whoever has gulped down a ten second dinner, at the risk of anni hilating, his digestion,; and has done a five-hundred yard dash to the promised land behind the gym only to hear the fateful words, "too late," shouted by the crowd The editorial on the subject of Honors which appeared in the Tar Heel last week contained several inaccuracies, so that it seems de sirable to make a brief statement concerning the conditions under wmcii siuuents may oecome candi dates for degrees with distinction. In order to understand these pro visions, it is necessary to remem ber that these two new distinc tions, "Honors" and "Highest Honors," are not to be won on the basis of excellent grades, but that the plan involves a wholly different point ot view. Ihis point of view may be briefly described as the transfer of emphasis from the col lege courses as units complete in themselves to a field of learning which is to be studied only in part through formal courses. Thus, one studies History as a great de partment of learning, not as a collection of unrelated courses : one studies literature as another great department of learning, not merely as a collection of extracts from a considerable number of masterpieces written by Virgil, Moliere, Shakespere, Goethe, and others. The committee does not, of course, expect that an under graduate, however gifted, will be able to annex all learning, even all learning as represented in one of its departments, as a province that has been mastered by the time the bachelor's degree is secured, but it does expect him to gain some con ception of the boundaries of the province, and of the method to be used in its conquest. All this in volves a very clear view of the re lation of courses to each other. As aids in the attainment of these ob jects, certain provisions have been agreed upon, some of which may be stated in condensed form as fol lows: .; 1. The plan of study for the last two years of the college course must be carefully mapped out in advance, and must have the appro val of the department chosen as a major and of the committee hav ing" in charge the administration of this plan of study. To this end, candidates must present to the committee, early in the Junior year, a list of the courses to be studied during the Junior and Se nior years and also a statement of the method through which correla tion of work is to be gained. There must also be chosen, within this field, a topic which is to be studied intensively. 2. The degree with distinction will not be awarded merely for spe cialization in a department, since this would defeat the primary purpose of the entire plan. The unit is the; division, such as Science and .Mathematics, History and Philosophy, Language and Literature. Within this division at least six courses are to be chosen of which four must lie in one de partment and the other two in a closely related subject studied through another department. These courses. must be so planned as to secure, in a part of them, a de finite correlation. For example, courses in English, German, and French Romanticism may be ac companied by the study of the i reneh lie volution. 3. Besides such formal pre scriptions of courses, other distinc tive means for assisting the student have been provided. It should be remembered that the regular courses, though important, are sub sidiary to that wide reading and general culture which the ambiti ous and capable student seeks in stead of the accumulation of credit hours, and which he is aided to gain through the fortnightly ; con ferences, such lecture courses as the new series of studies in com parative literature, and the final essay and examination. 4. In estimating the value of a candidate's work due regard will be paid to the grades attained by him in his regular college courses, but the grades are of secondary im portance. The extent of a man's reading, the maturity of his thought, and his ability to use his knowledge effectively, are regard ed bv the committee as matters of greater moment than the average of the grades in his series of ex ami nation books. The Committee on Degrees with Distinction is ; composed , of Pro fessors Daggett, Henderson, and IT, V. Wilson, for the Division of Science and Mathematics: of Pro fessors , Chase, .Hamilton, and Iiaper, for the Division of Historv and Philosophy, and ot Professors Howe, Towles, and Greenlaw, for the Division of Language and Literature. Students who are in terested may apply to any mem ber of the committee representing the division in which his major work is to lie. EDWIX GREENLAW, Chairman. CONTENTMENT Contentment is the art of being satisfied. It is about the onlv thing that can give one time to enjoy life. It varies in form from a flat on the sixth floor to a few acres of ground, plenty of fresh air and several Jersey cows. Kas. U. Daily. for a few barrels of knee and ankle grease. Suggestion No. 3 reads, if some of the holes in the side walk are not filled up, many would be fire-fighters will go broke feed ing the great drove of "Charley Horses" now following them around. Suggestion No. 4, That when the fire-bell rings, all lights be cut off so that the fire may not be confused with some light,; Sug gestion No. 5, That those who fear being run down by the speedy truck (from Detroit) keep no company with lightning bugs, and whenever you feel compelled to smoke, do it where the smoke (or light at night) cannot be seen, and be sure to keep the days straight and don't start to church some Thursday or Friday just because the bell rings.
