You consider the mat ter from all angles: you feel that you aro not good enough to go out for the varsity you are sure that your class team isn't practic ing, for it rarely does, excepting the 20 minutes before a game; and you can't get a tennis court, for they have all been taken hour3 ago. So you decide to go to the gym. You go. You pull the chest weights and swing on the rings a minute or two, then look around for moro worlds to conquer I Un able to find any conquerable, you run around the track upstairs two and a half times. You then go in, bathe and reflect that the afternoon was not. one of the most entranc ing or wildly exciting of your ex istence. . Soon you cease to take any exercise at all. , So it goes with some seven -or eight hundred of lis. There are, indeed, a chosen few, somewhere between 40 or 50, that make stars or letters annually. And there are about 150 scrubs getting plan ty of good exercise racing the aforesaid 50 fo rtheir letters, not more than 150, either, you will realize when you recall that there were fewer than 30 men on the football squad last fall. Add to these 50 men who play tennis regu larly and 200 who visit the gym every afternoon. This will give some 450 men who take some form of regular exercise. It will leave about 750 or 800 men who take no regular, exercise although they do indulge their athletic desires by snow-balling, roly-poly and center rushes in the Po3t Office. The conditions may be better than the figures show they may be worse. But it is true, neverthe less, that to hundreds of us the Library, the Pickwick, the drug stores or our rooms make a strong er appeal than any form of ath letics. To give the student body oppor tunities for exercise less limited and exacting than varsity ath letics, more appealing than gym work and better organized than class athletics, that is the prob lem. Coach Campbell stated to the student and the Athletic Councils Monday night a solution of the problem. His platf is given more fully elsewhere in this issue. But, in part, 'it is as follows: A cup, or eomo other prize shall be given at the end of each year to the class which makes the highest average in class athletics ior that year. A cup is to be given also to the ath lete who contributes most to the success of his class. In the sports arc to be included baseball, basket ball, football, track, tennis, swim ming,' a gym meet, a tng-of-war, etc. The plan baa many other im portant points which we must here omit. It is to go into effect within the next week or so. ' lf,it works and it is the duty and the opportunity of every man here to help make it work then it will not only rejuvenate class athletics hero but it will expand and enrich tncm. ; Class athletics will include more sports more men and will be better organized than heretofore. The number and di versity of the sports will give an opportunity to every man in the student body and the cups and com petition will lend the sport3 an ad ditional appeal. A better class team, a better varsity and a stronger, healthier student body should bo the results of this plan. - Go out yourself and help make it workl THE CONSTRUCTIVE VISION It needs no unusual clearness of vision to see that the south should be the center of the next great for ward movement in American edu cation. Some' of our southern states have left so much room among them for progress that near ly all men know the unfilled cham bers exist. But it is a different thing to feel already the currents of activity moving, and to share in the resolute purpose which can keep them moving until the void shall be filled by real works of progress. Of such is the vision which Dr. Edward K. Graham, the president of the University of 'North Carolina, possesses. It ap pears in each page of his annual report to the institution's trustees. Looking ahead to the place which the south should come to hold in the sun, it makes little immediate difference to President Graham that Xorth Carolina is giving its university far less support than other states are providing for their college, or that his institution has only $245 of working income per student, whereas Arizona State University has $1,290. The ma terial support must come and will come, as soon as the people of North Carolina are rightly awak ened to their educational neeils. It is the approach of this awakening which President Graham observes, and he makes it precede even his strong plea for money. What he sees first of all is the new eager ness among his students, and among the people at large in a state which in five years has in creased its attendance at public high schools from 5,000 to 10,000, and which in 1916 sent 1,050 stu dents to the university's summer school, whereas in 1907 it sent 36. Even these positive assets are of, scant concern to President Gra ham in their aspects merely as a material record. He remarks : "Satisfaction in the rapidly grow ing activities and increased size of an, institution should depend not on the fact of growth, but on the nature of growth." The educator who keeps this in mind is the man who will do the constructive work of making ah educational institu tion truly great. It 13 the spirit which one would expect to see re vealed by Dr. Graham. All too little of these eternal verities is being expressed in the annual reports of typical univer sity presidents in the east. The head of a large university recently filled his report with an outline of the ways in which he was going to make his institution the "world's greatest,", and dismissed them near ly all in terms of money and num bers and buildings. What Presi dent Graham stresses is not these, though he seeks them mdst ear nestly. His is the constructive vi sion which sees that it has a real THOMAS EDISON SAYS: "The burning of ordinary cigarette pa per always produces acrolein. I can hard ly exaggerate the dangerous nature of acrolein, and yet that is what a man or a boy is dealing with every time he smokes an ordinary cigarette. " job to accomplish, and is not de luded into thinking that it has merely a stewardship over great things done in the past, or that a compilation of any number of facts can ever be more than a preface to actual thinking. And in a state that seems broadly wakening to its needs of education, it will need only Graham and a few other lead ers to make of this vision of the south's coming educational prog ress a reality. Becoming such, it may give some northern jugglers in statistics a beneficent jolt. Boston Transcript. TROPHY CUP TO BE AWARDED TO CLASS BEST IN ATHLETICS (Continued from Page One) eral plan is to have a cup as a re ward to the class which makes the best average athletic record; that is, the class" which leads at the end of the year after all the forms of athletics have been averaged as a whole. This cup is to remain in its possession only so long as it keeps the lead. However, the name of each winning class with the year in which it won is to be engraved on the cup, making it a permanent prize that will always be in de mand. In all probability the basket-ball championship will have to be re established, owing to the number of varsitv men who would have been later barred from comptition. Kow is the time, for every class to make the first step toward having its name engraved on the cup ; a victory in basketball will count largely in the final reckoning at the close of the season. "SAVE A DOLLAR A WEEK" IS THE SLOGAN OF Y. M. C. A. (Continued from Page One) The equipment, too, furnishes every necessity. The spacious Ro bert E. Lee Hall, and the numer ous cottages built by the colleges furnish the most , comfortable "quarters." The grounds and buildings are all supplied with electric lights, water works, sew erage, and every other modern con venience. "HEN a dog ... w it in iiu uugu wiiii it. dame n way with a tobacco.

It is here, in short, "that men have been in spired to do their work.
