OUR FUTURE
GROWTH
We do not put our faith in prophe
cies nor are we prophets. Yet we will
venture a prophecy which we believe
will come to pass. We hail tne com
ing of the new Carolina the great,
erlorious, new Carolina.
We do not believe the old Carolina
will go. May that never be! But
we see a rejuvenated school, and in
her bo.som beats forever the great,
pure heart of Carolina; and all that
was good will be better all that was
strong will be stronger the tradi
tions of the past will find new glory
in the progress of the future. And
the weaknesses and flaws of the past
will eo.
If we had been a real estate dealer
we would probably sum all this up
in one terse phrase: Watch Carolina
grow!
Yes, watch her grow not only
numerically but in the vital ways. For
to us Carolina is alive, gloriously
alive, and full of potential possibilities
for growth.
And is it not a privilege to be
here to take part in this change to
be a part of Carolina and lor Caro
lina to be a part of us ? For Carolina
is ours our glorious inheritance
handed down by those great fellows
of the old days handed down a
shining jewel, to bs loved and cher
ished by us all.
May we be worthy of her!
May she ever grow and grow and
grow.
CHRISTMAS, 1918,
AND YOU
The word Christmas brings to us a
feeling of joy and peace that no other
season .can. The spirit of love is
more potent at this time and we all
say with Tiny Tim "God bless us
every one!"
Think of the world's joy on this
Christmas of 1918, when the words
of the songs that the angels sang so
long ago are almost coming true.
"Peace on earth; good will to mn!"
The men of the world are going
back home those who are left.
America will have her homecomings
as she has never had before. Men
who have sacrificed their freedom for
a whiles, can now rejoica in; their
hearts for they have done their pobs
well. ' .
This Christmas will mean much to
Carolina men, especially those on the
"Hill" now. The present student
body have suffered. But the men have,
for the most part, done well under
the circumstances. Fellows who are
behind in their work feel discouraged.
What has this to do with Christ
mas? ..,
Just this go home Christmas, men,
feeling that joys of life are due you.
-Put in good time between now and
exams. studying. Don't give up a
single exam. Struggle for them. You
can pass. Do it!
Don't be a quitter! The feeling of
discontent is strong. You know the
books have not had the amount cf
time they deserve. But the faculty
knows why. Professors are very hu
man; they are comrades here.
Therefore do your very bast. Go
home Christmas with a feeling of joy
in your heait for duty well done.
Be the thoroughbred. Be an Ameri
can. If you do your best, the joy of
Christmas will be increased for you,
and you may, on this Christmas, 1918,
rejoice with America in a duty well
done. The sweetness of the Yule-tide
will not then be tinged with a single
regret.
Everyone of us should rejoice as
becomes a citizen of America, or of
France, England, or Italy. . We have
all been through a dark valley.
But the jubilee has come. May your
holiday season be one of pure joy that
comes from duty done.
a period of review and test. It is a
period in which the student should
try to co-ordinate his knowledge
gained during the term, into a con
nected system, insteam of a scattered
bunch of facts. It is not a time to
learn new facts, but to connect old
ones.
For the professor examinations are
merely a means of eaining some idea
of the benefit derived by the student
from the course. Examinations should
not be a merht-mare to anyone and
everyone should remain on the Hill
and try to play the game squarely to
the end.
IS OUR LESSON
LEARNED?
Soon the military discipline is to
d sappear and we shall be allowed to
go and come practically as we please.
No "Non-Com." will inspect the
rooms, and no one will be made to
"rake leaves" because he threw pa
per in the hall. The old liberty that
has been a part of Carolina ever since
there has been a Carolina is soon to
pervade the campus in all its forms.
What shall be our attitude towards
the new. or rather old, state of af
fairs ? Shall we at once drop back
into the easy going way of last year
and year before, or has the military
training taught us a lesson 01 prac
tical value ? Consider, for instance;
the places we live in while in college
our rooms shall we continue to keep
them clean and neat? A maji is judged
partly by the things he has around
him. If the walls are covered with,
pictures that are of a questionable
character, then it will be taken fo
granted that they are the kind o'
pictures -he likes, and will be taken a
an index to the man himself. And
vice versa, if a man surrounds h".mser
with pictures of a fine and enncblin;
nature, ethers will see them and re
spect the man who chooses to sur
round himself with such objects of
art and beauty. If the books and pa
pers are neatly arranged and the floor
swept clean and the furniture dusted
it gives the room a tidy and home
like appearance, and adds to the man's
own self respect.
We might as well wake up to th
fact that we are up against a new
state of affairs, and that we havr
to meet it in some . way. The day or
doing things in a slipshod, haphazard
way is gone. The tern "Slacker" doer
not' mean alone the man who evades
military service in the United State?
Army. It will have a very definite
meaning on this campus long after
peace is declared. We have a b'g job
ahead of us. It will require every
ounce of strength and intelligence
which we possess to put it across in
the right way. If a man sleeps till
barely time to catch an eight o'clock
class when there is work to d he ir,
a slacker. In the same way he is s,
slacker if he squanders valuable time
doing nothing that could be profitably
spent at study or play. What is to
be our attitude towards these things?
They might well occupy the serious
thought of every Carolina man.

Following quickly on the heels of
the departing dances, will come that
inevitable culmination of the term's
work, the examination period. To
many this period is one of hopeless
ness, but it should not be so to any.
Exams, are not a struggle between
professors and students, each trying
to "blind" the other, but it is merely

first weekly meeting for Red Cross

have fought and won this war on the
principal of unity.
Professor Myers declared that the
abnormal times have produced certair
nroblems in this country that must
have a speedy settlement. Teh opera
tion of the railroads and the tele
graph systems must be taken froir
government control, for government
operation has proved inefficient. Thr
socialistic idea is for the government
to take over such institutions and re
duce them to mediocrity as a result.
The fundamental principle of Ameri
can government is the equality of in
dividuals to work out their own sal
vation. Outward direction instead of
inward impulse, which is democracy,
is socialism.
Professor Myers emphasized the
fact that post-war problems must be
solved by co-operation. An adjust
ment of labor must soon take place,
and this question can only be satis
factorily settled by the co-operation
of capital and labor "Is there to ,be
unrestricted emigration henceforth ?
Are the Germans interned in this
country as alien enemies to be per
mitted to remain here?" he asked.
"Such a question must be met upon
a basis of co-operation. The inward
impulse of American ideals expressed
by peoples of all nationalities have
brought us to victory."
That man working in his garden
must be quite a seamstress. You
see, he is sewing a patch of ground.
