ENLISTED AND DRAFTED THE
SAME!
v Today is the last day for those
who are subject to the next draft,
. to enlist in whatever branch of dis
service they prefer. Many have
already left school for aviation.
iic navy, ji builiu uiutji uspuri-
rnent. Those who have enlisted
should feel that they have done
the rifrht t hi tip. Tims 'wlm saw
t o - r o' ' "
fit to. Temain for the next draft
army snoum teei just as entmisi
astic over their choice. ...
Certainly those who have en
' listed are not slackers. They have
chosen their place to serve. Cer
tainly those who have chosen to
wait for the draft army are not
slackers lor alter all theirs is the
: life of the camp, the trenches and
the bayonet ; theirs is the brief
'.training in the camp and then the
' firing line in France.
Those who were about to be call
ed and ; enlisted can not think of
j.i i i i .i
uomseivcvS as a ciass aoove those
-who prof ered to await the call. To
be "drafted" does not mean to be
"dragged" into the service, but
rather selected to serve one's coun
try' in the most trying position.
For some it is harder to stay in
college just two months longer, and
then enter the army.. Certainly
the chances of dying for one's
country are many times greater
there than in any other branch.
Certainly the need for men there is
more urgent thany anywhere else.
If the war is. ever won by either
side, it will be on the blood stained
fields of Europe. It is more evi
dent than, ever that "Time alone
will bring America's millions into
the battle field of Europe."
Thos: who await the next call
should not feel that they are in a
class above those who have enlisted
elsewhere. Men are. needed in every
branch. It is a great thing for the
University to have her sons in
every branch of the service, rep
resenting her there, j'ust as truly
as they represented her on the
football field or the platform. The
spirit of the nation's struggle
should guide all men to act; De
gree, petty honors and pleasant
connections are, not worth consid
ering. If you are in the Navy
think of becoming worthwhile
there. If you are here awaiting
tha draft develop yourself for
leadership by more intensive study
not by leafing around and waiting.
WHILE YOU'RE FLUSHED !
Pay those class dues while you
have the money ! This will be pos
sible by thd new plan of the vari
ous class officers. At registration
C Holding, Admiral Sims and the
other coin collectors will stand at
the head of the registration line
andvhand put receipts for class
due3. This plan will save a great
daal of trouble in collecting "class
dues, and it ought to have the sup
port of the classes. 1
N. C. SWEATERS FOR SALE ALSO
PHI BETTA KAPPA KEYS
Get a Phi .Beta Ivappa key
right away. Christmas will soon
be here and your kid brother in
the high school ought to have a
decent watchfob. One don't
bother about that, you don't have
to belong and besides you are not
going to use it yourself.
No sensibb university man
would think of wearing or asking
some one else to wear a Phi Beta
Kappa Key, a fraternity pin or
any emblem of an organization of
which he is not a member. Those
things belong to certain classes of
people. They are things for which
those classes have either worked
for or have been adorned with.
Now in regard to an X. C.
sweater that of course is quite
different. It is difficult to under
stand why men who go out at a
sacrifice and make a varsity team
should monopolize the right to
wear monograms. It is just a
foolish custom that the Athletic
Council has adopted, of awarding
letters to men who have worked
some of them four years for.
Why shouldn t any University
student give his girl a big, white,
N. C. Sweater?
J ust because some people pre
fer to concentrate upon their books
and earn a Phi Beta Kappa Key,
is that any reason why they should
be denied an K C. monogram? Of
course not and, visa versa, a foot
ball or basketball man ought not
to be denied the pleasure of wear
ing a scholarship key even though
he has not worked for it, because,
after all, he has given his time to
a worthy cause and deserves re
ward. It is reported that several men
in the university who have not
even been out for any branch of
athletics, have taken the privilege
of giving to their "best girl" a
monogram sweater. ' Is it the right
thing for a university . man not
earning a letter to do this? Is it
fair to those who have worked for
he honor of representing a Caro
ina ' team, and who have been
awarded this distinction, to have
others, including freshmen, share
their privilege. The Tar Heel
suggests that the student council
ook into this affair. '

Wake Up
ty
T. E. Kondthaler led the Y. M.
C. A. discussion on Tuesday night
in the Reading Room of the Y. M.
C. A. on the subject "Wake Up."
He said that we must awake to
the real Carolina; to the, opportu
nities that this campus offers to
every earnest student; to courses
and what they really can mean if
we study them instead of "doing
essons." He observed that the
study of science unlike the study
of literature, history, and similar
subjects can be pursued only in
college. Again we must open our
eyes to the present need of econo
my in all things, specially that of
food.
All personals, announcements of
general interest, and contributions
of all sorts to , the Tar Heel are
always welcome. Hand your
items to the editors or drop them
in the Tar Heel box in the lobby
of the Y. M. C. A. Make the
paper your paper.

BASKETBALL INTEREST
GROWING
No" sooner is the State High
School . Football. Championship set
tled for this year, than the rivalry
for the basketball honors begins to
draw much interest. The basket
ball season will be in full swing
among the North Carolina High
Schools soon after the Christmas
holidays. The championship game
will be played in the Bynum Gym-
e YTT s r t , T
nasium. VV lnston-fcaiem won tne
State championship in 1915 and
1917, while Durham won out in
1916.
The enrollment in the High
School Debating Union has reach
ed 220 and is still increasing. The
Alabama High School Debating
League will discuss the sam e ques
tion this year which the North
Carolina Union members are dis
cussing. The Alabama League,
which is under the charge of W.
It. Taylor, an alumnus of Caro
lina, has been modeled after the
North" Carolina plan and has writ
ten to secure copies of the bulletin
on the query issued by the Uni
versity, Extension Committee.
Last Modnay evening at the
Bachelor Apartments, Prof. Hick-
ersou entertained with a dance in
honor of Miss Margaret Rembert,
who is visiting her sister, Mrs.
Stedman. A number of fellows, in
college were present and enjoyed a
pleasant evening.
