Satatcriptioa Price, $1.50 Per Year, Payable in Advance or Daring the First Term Single Copies, 5 Cent THE TAR HEEL LATE The Tar Heel wag inexcusably delayed last week. An explanation is due the board as well as the ' subscribers. When the acting managing editor arrived in Dur ham to make-up the paper there was no copy there. Several hours later he managed to locate the time worn copy in the inside pock et of a coat leaning against a post on a Durham street corner. This carelessness or indiffer ence on the part of those intrusted with, placing the copy in the hands of the printer has caused the Tar Keel much trouble, and a more efficient method is under consid eration. TAR HEEL CONTEST Why not enter the regular con test for membership on the Tar Heel board ? There are ten places open and those places are to be filled by men who have shown some interest and ability in writ ing up news. You have four weeks in which to show that in terest. Why not enter the contest with the spirit of what you can put into a good thing, and inci dentally what yon can get out of it. Membership on the board is nothing but a blank honor or a bare burdensome statistic for the Yackety Yack unless you intend to put your best, into it. Then it is worth as much as any two courses in college. ; The following were visitors on the hill during the Easter dances : Hugh Dor tch, Lieut. Zeke Cow an, B. F. Paity, Seaman George Wimberly, Lieut. Wilson Dalton, Corporal William Grimes. JUNIOR WEEK Junior week, as we understand it, was originally designed as a sort of festive season to be celebrated on the campus. And the idea was good. About it grew up the sen ior stunt and the stunts of the three other accademic classes. Then there was the faculty-senior baseball game. And the dances, of course, now a standard yearly oc currence. The idea of Junior week, successfully carried out, gave pleasure to everyone on the campus. Each group of interests and activities contributed some thing which was enjoyed by all the rest." ' . Against this background Junior week, as it has been in recent years and especially this year, is a dreary spectacle. More than half the fellows left the Hill No one of the three lower academic class es presented class stunts of. any kind. The Faculty-Senior base ball game was scarcely mentioned. The Hill was lonesome, and half the fellows who didn't go home wished they had. This sort of Junior week is the strongest argu ment for no one to stay on the Hill next year at Junior week. ANOTHER SIGNIFICANCE An alumnus who graduated from the University in 1912 reach ed the Hill while Junior week was in the full swing of inactivity, in tending to stay over night and the next day. But he found the boys gone and the place "dead," and with nothing to interest him he left the same afternoon. This sort of situation confronts the University every year at com mencement. The attendance is not half what it would be if students were here. It is small inducement for alumni to come back and be greeted by empty buildings. Let's make this commencement the greatest yet by doing our part. Many Girls Attend Dances They started coming Wednes day afternoon, and, Oh, boy, Chapel Hill did change when they got here. The campus brightened up like a butterfly when it has come out of its cocoon. Bright dresses and gay laughter floated over our once dreary campus and stern military , commands . gave away without the least resistance before the terrific onslaught of the visiting girls. Over fifty came to the dances, and who says they're not what makes the dances a suc cess ? Old Handy and his Jazz band didn't stand a ghost of a show when compared to the girls. Ever since the old Common's Hall was built 'way (back yon der in the dark ages so that the Carolina toe-artists could have a place to trip the light fantastic, girls have been coming to Chapel Hill. But never did such a bunch come as the ones who left this morning after the Easter dances. Pretty ? Well, you saw 'em your self. Dance? You bet. Mrs. Vernon C. wouldn't have been in it. These girls were the best look ing and the best dancers north and south of the Mason and Dixon line, and east and west of the Missis sippi river, and they never looked or danced better than ' at these dances. This is an incomplete list of the ladies who were at the dances: Miss Joe White with Schlech ter ; Miss Julia Barns and Miss Erwin with Peck Xorris ; Miss Cotton Timberlake with William Dewar; Miss Nancy Green, Miss Margaret Thomas, Miss Agnes 'lii.t tlv with Bvmie -Kinlaw; Miss Elizabeth Lowe with Buzz Tennant.

Discussion at Y. M. C. A. "We assume privileges upon be ing born," said Eddie Merritt at the Y. M. C. A. discussion Tues day night. lie ssjid that it was a privilege to be born and that this privilege brought upon us a duty, that of making our lives count the most in the world. The speaker in a very forceful and interesting manner presented his conception of duty as he thought it applied to college men. lie showed how privilege and duty were interlocked and how one was the natural resultant of the other. He, then made this application to college men telling how a man in cpllege had a chance to be of some value to himself and to other peo ple, and then added that it was the duty of a man to remain in school until a stronger sense of duty called him elsewhere. The following officers of the Y. iJ. C. A. were elected for the com ing year : For President T. E. Rondtha ler. For Vice-President J. C. By num. For Secretary L. II. Hodges. For Treasurer NV G. Gooding. E. J, Burdick, who has been in the Infirmary with a severe attack of heartfailure, has been taken to Asheville for treatment. Date of Weil Lectures , To be Announced Soon The exact date for the Weil lec tures, to be given soon, has not been definitely arranged, owing to the fact that Dr. John H. Finley, commissioner of education for the state of New York, has been call ed upon to leave for France at an early date, possibly in early June. Dr. Henderson is now trying to arrange the series of three lec tures, but so far has been unable to reach any conclusion as to the exact dates and the subjects of the lectures. . These important details Arrow Collars FOR SPRING will be announced in The Tak Hkel at the earliest possible mo ment, as the series promises to be not only exceedingly interesting, but, coming from an eminent au thority on education, of great worth educationally. Elisha Mitchell Society Meets The Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society met on Monday evening with Dr. J. M. Bell, presiding. Mr. Lasley gave a talk on "Some Everyday Problems in Mathe matics." He treated the need for mathematics in every day life. "Geometry," he said, "is thought to have originated to fill the neces sity for measuring land, Arithme tic and Algebra for numerical cal culations, and Trigonometry in connection with Astronomy." He cited some interesting problems from every phase of life illustrat ing the uses of Mathematics. He showed that if we only stop to think about it, Mathematics is present in some form in every thing about us. J jr. Venable talked on "Lumi nesence and Radioactivity of Zir cons." He pointed out some in teresting facts about the Zircons. They occur widely, distributed throughout the world, but are worked chiefly in North Carolina. Their chief interest, attaches . to the fact that they are closely con nected with the theory of radio activity. He furthermore told of recent discoveries by two English men, Kitchin and Mastern, which, if found to be correct, will com pletely revolutionize this theory. Mr. Daggett demonstrated an invention of his which will ena ble the ringing to be eliminated in the telephones of small towns and at the same time lessen the cost of these phones about thirty-five per cent. The phone is connected with the lighting system and this fur nishes the power for signalling "central." The chief feature of this invention is that it eliminates the necessity for "ringing off," a thing which so many of us forget. Mathematic Club Meets At a meeting of the Matha matics Club in Chemistry Hall on Monday evening Dr. Hobbs gave an interesting talk on the subject, "Common Sense in Mathematics." The talk was destined primarily for Freshmen taking Trigonome try and was very instructive. He discussed the uses of the trigono metric functions, logarithms, and circular measure of angles, and showed how a little common sense will often ward off mistakes and prevent absurd results.

Nine Hundred and Eighty- Four Alumni in Service "There are nine hundred and eighty-four alumni of the Univer sity in the service," said Dr. L. E. Wilson in a chapel talk recent ly. He then pointed out v that such facts are very valuable and that they are only collected by the work of some industrious .per sons who happen to be interested and take note of all such facts that they see. He said that such a state of affairs should not exist; that both the students and faculty are interested in the men that the University " turns out and like to hear from them and have them re visit the college from time to time. He urged that the students take note of this, and on leaving, write back and keep the University post ed as to their location and occupa tion and when they have an op portunity return for a visit.
