'Decidedly the band gets more undeserved knocks than any other institution on the Hill. If an audience is needed for a war relief play, the band strikes up and. marches off up the street followed by all the students in both the drug stores. It is the same way everywhere the band is the most gullible of people and so we force it to do work of any descrip tion,, and yet of late we have grown so callous that our hearts are no longer touched by the oft-repeated "Old Gray Mare." Some six or seven years ago the band was a credit to the institution, then '. became highly discreditable ; but now has picked up again amaz ingly. Since we have a good music box we should not let the matter drop. You will find no college of our size in the country which does not encourage mass singing. It has been .tried here and made a big success, but it was never tried ear ly enough, in the year it Usually began in May. It has been. truth fully said that no college is a col lege Without its songs but where are burs ? ' In the greater ; places they' would laugh at us for it but the fact remains that we have none that we sing more than a dozen times a year. 'The very fact that we all enjoy mass-meetings and therefore like to make a racket, speaks in itself for mass singing. CLEAN UP THE ROOMS "Man is a product of his envi: ronment." There seems some con flict in opinion among men as to the truth of this phrase ; but inas much as different colleges and uni versities 'produce different types of men, we must; accept some ele ment of truth m it. In other words four years of college life is bound to leave some trace in a man's life. The ! greatest ' thing a college man can do is to live a clean life. But can we live a clean life while our physical being is living in a dirty room or on a trash-heaped campus ? Physical cleanness is the first step toward self respect ; and a clean dwelling place is just as important as clean clothes. There are other obvious reasons why we should live in clean rooms, for health and i for appea ranee. But what we are interested in is not- the reasons, the question is : "Are our rooms in the' dormitories as clean and neat as they should be?" Unfortunately ? the -answer is in thd negative. ' The Tooms as a Whole) ' are not' 'clean j but' th'd worst Kbditions! exist in our water closets and bathrooms. They are simply filthy beyond description. Such a condition exists nowhere in higher institutions of any stand ing. We dismiss this question of uncleanliness with usual phrase, ''These darn niggers aren't worth a cuss." But the janitors put the blame onus. Both seem to be righ in one sense and wrong in the other. We are not careful enough to make them careful. Now spring is on hand and the warm weather especially makes the unclean environment odious and unhealthy, let us co-operate with the University authorities and clean up our rooms and com pus so that the j anitors will ; be ashamed to leave them uncleaned. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Let us do it and at once, too ! FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF U. N C. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (Sept. 1 1917, to Dec. 31, 1917) ; DISBURSEMENTS.

ALBERT M. COATES, RAY ARMSTRONG. Amateurs Score in Plays A large number of students and townspeople enjoyed the plays given at the high school last Mon day by St. Hilda's Guild. Mis3 Mary Patterson and Capt. Allen scored in a light humorous playlet entitled, "First Aid to the Wound ed." The acting in this sketch was very natural and convincing. The second offering was an en tertaining one-act play, "French Before Breakfast." ' This produc tion received hearty' applause throughout. The make-up of the ac tors was worthy of professionals. Mrs. Pierson, Miss Betsy Bain, W. D. McMillan and J. Y. Jordan were excellent in their character roles. The plays were given under the supervision of Mrs. J. Li Campion.- The presence of the band helped to musically while away thd intermission. jpatterson frros P r&scriptio it druggists Quin tet Pleases Big Crowd Presenting a pleasing musical program consisting of songs of Hawaii sung in native tongue and many of the popular airs of this country, Vierra's Royal Hawaiian singers and players made their sec end Chapel Hill appearance before a packed house in Gerrard Theater last Saturday night. Two ladies and three men made up the company. The absence of Mr. Palui, who made such a hit on the steel guitar last year, was felt by those who hoard' the pro gram at that time. The violinist" and the lady soloist were also new this year, The plaintive strains of Ha waiian love songs and the spirited hula tunes, accompanied on native instruments, was very fascinating. Each member of the troupe was a soloist, either instrumental or vo cal, and the solo numbers were well rendered. v . Most of the songs were sung in the native language of the per formers, but a few numbers were rendered in English. "Farewell to Thee," "Kilivviliwa," and "I Left Her on the Beach of Hono lulu" were among the most popu-. lar selections. Four Firms "Flivver" Flatly Chapel I fill- financial circles have already heavily felt the ef fects of the gigantic struggle in Europe.. Lo and ltehold ! the South side of Main street has apparently gone to the wall, and will probably henceforth be known as Wall street. Where Nick E. Sideres did a thriving cafe business not less than a week :ago, where the Ca w lina Drug Co. used to give big nickel shakes, and where the Pick wick Theatre used to cater exclu sively to screen admirers, around all these scenes of former business triumphs there now hovers the still ness of financial - death. And that's not all of the story. Even Jack Sparrow lias closed his doors and gone "kerfloogy." Mrs. West has recently closed down her boarding house, and the University Inn has suffered a similar fate. The hinges on' Squire Barbee's of fice have long since become rusty.

C. Branson launched the spring term study course of the Negro in . the South with a short but very inter esting address, explaining to the two hundred and seventy -odd mem bers present the vital need and purpose of such' a course for Car olina men. - Dr. Branson's address was clear ly divided into three main divis ions. The first had to do with the remarkable growth of popular in terest in intellectual centers in the South in the race problem. He showed that in all the Southern universities and colleges students were bunching up for study courses such as our men are grouping themselves together for here, how that this movement was true also in a great many of the girls' schools'. The speaker pointed out the fact that some of the finest spirits in the South are devoted to this kind of work: men like Weatherford, J ohn Little, Dr. and Mrs. Ham mond, Mrs. Winnsburough, Sibley, of Alabama; Hill and Woofter, of Georgia. - The second division of Dr. Bran son's address set forth the rea sons for such a movement. They are two. First, an intelligent rec ognition of economic causes; and second, a sense of spiritual obliga tions to a backward race. He de clared that we have been shocked into the first of these reasons by the recent migration of negro la borers out of the South, paralyz ing farming in wide areas and in dustries' hi 'certain-' centers. Said lie, "Enough negro laborers have moved out of the South within the last eighteen months to blot off the agricultural map an area as large as the state of South Carolina, and we have been forced to hunt down the causes and the remedies in self defense." He declared fur ther that we have been forced to realize that our deadly epidemics originate in negro cabins and come into our homes in our clothes bas kets. The speaker used this illustra tion : "It is impossible to jack up public health and the level of econ omic life without raising the mud sills of the whole social structure. When they wanted to lift Chicago out of the mud and miasms, they put jack-screws under every house and lifted the whole city a story higher. They could only get the lady in the parlor one story higher A JACK SPARROW i Agent for Durham Model Steam Laundry FRUITS NEWSSTAND EATS OF ALL KINDS (Next Door to Royal Cafe) ' Station for Henry Harris Auto Line Leave Chapel Hill Leave Durham 8:30 A.

The third division of Dr. Bran son's address was given to the fact that in starting this movement we are impelled not by economic con ditions alone but by spiritual obli gations as well. He said that the negro has long lain at. our door?,, as Lazarus at the doors of Dives, the rich man ; that he has had the , crumbs that fall from our table and we have-left the dogs to lick his sores. A lundamental article iu the speakers' creed," Dr. Branson concluded, "is this : I am not will ing to leave out of my scheme of thinking, or ethics, or religion any one of God's creatures blaciv or white, dumb or human that can in anywise be made better bv my help." Alumnus Donates N.C.Flag Another instance of the loyalty and devotion with which Caroli na's sons cherish her has appeared. Dr. A. II. Patterson wrote a let ter to Graham Kenan, his personal friend and an alumnus, saying that the battalion was in need of a North Carolina flag to complete their collection. A reply soon come containing a substantial check with which to purchase a State flag. The University extends her sincerest thanks and gratitude for this splendid response from her son.' .' In the debate in the Phi Socie ty last Friday night, D. V. Grant made the best speech, and Luther Purrington, the best oration. Messrs. Naito and Aibai have been initiated into Epsilon Phi Delta.
