Captain. Alien says , over in
France,
The Tommies lead the Bodies a
dance;
And when the bayonet charge
ceases
They are "slaughtered to pieces".

More things for the soldiers,

The average student's reason

that quiz : Eventually, why not
now? ...
Mrs. Everett True has put her
hubby to knitting for the soldiers.
The co-eds might give classes in
this art, so that students could
have something to do with their
hands on class besides pulling out
their watches.
WATCHWORDS
Over a month has elapsed since
we arrived. Many have been the
distractions attendant on our lit
tle world. , Have we been true to
our old ties, those of homeland
community? . v
There's eight months more to
go. Let us make "confidence"
and "thoroughness" , our watch
words, and from today, tomorrow,
and the next day, until June,
1918, and success will be ours.
THE FOUR-PAGE TAR HEEL
The business management of
the Tar Heel has found it neces
sary to cut the paper dowii to a
four, page issue instead of tl:e
usual six. -But. why necessarv?
"We ; are losing money every
issue," is the reply of the man
ager. Now, ; let ; us analyze the
business end of the Tar Heel.
In the first place it is a busi
ness proposition. It costs money
to get it out. . "Is that so ?" This
money comes from two sources:
subscriptions , and , advertisement.
In regard to ; advertisements it
seems that the . business manager
has secured the usual amount.
The subscription list or lack of
subscribers is the principle cause
of the. Tar Heel's step backward.
There; are over 700 students on
the Hill. In addition there are
faculty members and townspeople.
But out of the 1000 possible sub
scribers only 310 have responded.
Less than one-third 'of the college
community are supporting their
paper. More than three-fourths
of that same community read the
Tar Heel. That's just the point.
If four people are going to take
one Tar Heei, how is the paper to
live? '
We do not care to hold up
other schools before us. We re
alize that conditions in each place
are peculiarly their own. But.
"every man at Davidson is a sub
scriber to the Davidsonian."
"Just one hundred students of W.
& L. have not taken the Ring-turn
Phi." V Y-YY'' Y,
Outside of the college there are
many alumni who have subscrib
ed 80 or more. And yet there
is a possibility of more subscrip
tions from that source.
The Tar Heel is the official or
gan of the Athletic Association.
The Athletic Association includes
every student in the University,
Hence, it is, theoretically, the
mouthpiece of the campus, and
deserves the support of every man
and woman here, If it does not
present the community life as
you would have it the fault lies
in your willingness to allow an in
efficient, system to continue. If
it does represent the ordinary life
of the University then it demands
your support and you should give
it.
Someone on the Tar Heel board
or one of the business managers
will call on you next week. If
you have not subscribed and feel
that you can do so we ask you
to do it.
Let's get together and main
tain a six page Tar Heel. 200
subscriptions will do it. Yours
leaves only 199.
The mere fact that in a single
night, several thousands of dollars
can be raised among the students
here for Y. M. C. A. war work,
shows one of two things.
It may mean that North Caro
lina has waked up to a realization
of the grim conquering spirit of
war, and in dead earnest is look
ing out for the morale of her
troops. None of us will agree to
this for we know that she is not
yet awakened and indeed will not
be until she is . prodded a little.
We always get there and do more
than our share, but when has
Carolina led ?
Or it may mean that we are just
plain North Carolinians, easy
going, in the main good hearted,
and enthusiastic about any plan
which sounds well. : -Is
it reasonable to believe that
in ' such a time as this, a body of
boys would give from ten to twen
ty dollars each for such a cause?
It is, for it has just been done.
But would the same thing have
happened among a thousand aver
age business men?
Do not make the mistake of be
lieving that we are not in favor
of the work which will be done
with the money. It is a great
work. We are only surprised that
the campus could support the
work so well.
MEDICAL SOCIETY WILL MEET .
The Medical Society will hold
its regular fortnightly meeting Sa
turday night, Oct. 20. At this
eeting Dr. Mac Aider will
speak to the society- His subject
will be: "The Life of Pasteur."
The society has invited anyone
in the community who is interest
ed to come out and hear this dis
cussion of the life , of the man
about whom it has been said by
a student of the lives of both
"Pasteur did the same thing for
the physical man that Christ did
for the Spiritual."
The meeting will begin at 8 :15,
and is held in the lecture room on
the first floor of the Medical Build
ing.' Y' ' Y'

Coediquette
Last year the co-editor of this
column journeyed up-- the Hill
with a certain Freshman from
home. To avoid the possibility of
embarrassing said youth, she
avoided seeing him at University,
but he recognized : her hat, and
nothing loth ran to her and quit
ted not her side until they had
come to Carrboro. The Co-editor
related the incident to a classmate
recently, and he forthwith offered
the following unwelcome explana
tion, "Reckon he was glad to have
your motherly protection."
Now the Co-editor admits that
three hairs turned grey last Janu
ary under the strain of passing 1st
Physics, but they were immediate
ly cut out.
All this elaborate digression is
merely to introduce the statement
that this is no Aunt Sarah column,
the writer doesn't feel qualified to
decide whether it is permissible
for Freshmen to call on co-ed's
who "receive attention" from up
perclassmen, or whether they
should confine themselves to rush
ing the High School girls, nor to
advise the co-eds as to proper
manner in which to respond to
greetings from dormitory win
dows, especially when the persons
greeting are invisible. These
tilings are Usually determined by
precedent, and so far there haven't
been enough co-eds to establish
many precedents ; the scattered
few have taken advantage of their
singularity and allowed themselves
to do as they pleased more or less,
"probably more, certainly no less"
as Mr. Gelette Buigess would say.
Taking advantage of that con
ceded privilege of "changing her
mind' or "contradicting herself"
-the characteristic remains the
same but the descriptive phrase is
varied to suit the' dispositions of
the readers the co-editor is now
going to bring up and attempt to
dispose of a point of etiquette.
This will probably be the on.v .of
fence,' however, so the denial cf
Aunt Sarahistic aspirations , is
not entirely out of place.
"I've never met that boy," re
marked one of the co-eds today,
"but I know who he is and he
knows who I am and we meet al
most every day, and sometime I
am going to forget and speak to
him. I almost spoke then."
Whereupon the co-editor sug
gested that it wouldn't have hurt
her if she had, nor. would he have
felt much injured. As long as he
knew who she was and she knew
who he was, and the friends of
either would be charmed to in
troduce them, why not pass up the
formalities.
Everybody in the University is
busy, and nobody stays here very
long, even the five year students,
so why waste time and the oppor
tunity to make friends just be
cause no third person happens to
be near enough to tell two other
people that they have his permis
sion to recognize each other on the
campus ? .

PATTERSON BROS.
Military Tictacs
Carolina men will be interested
in this letter from one of its old
men, who is now "cutting up" in
army football.
Fort Washington Mi.,
Oct, 15, 1917.
My dear "Buzz," or whoever gets
. thisr
Not. one word have I heard
from Chapel Hill since September
except such duns, etc., that must
come regularly. I am very anxi
ous to hear from North Carolina:
so put me on the Tar Heel list.
At the end of Training Camp
I was fortunate eonugh to got re
commended for Second Lieuten
ancy in the regular army. So I am
in the regular army in a "sure
enough" company. Just to show
you, one day this week someone,
started a Liberty Bond cam
paign. With just about 100 men,
our company hopped on the pro
position and bought $11,000.00
worth. No rich men either.
Everybody bought.
Another thing we have a first
class football team. Good coach
and half back, too. Just look in
last Monday's Washington-Post
or Star. Honest, we have a fast
team and they play North Caro
lina football too. We are playing
all the best army teams about here
and any one else that will take us
on. We hope to arrange some
games with some of these colleges
or universities and we are going
to do it, too.
Listen, be sure to send me the
Tar Heel if there is such a thing
this year. Luck to you. Write
the news.
