Welcome
We present to you a welcome one
from the very soul of us, Carolina
men who have come back home. And
not only do we welcome you, but we
welcome that of which each of us is
a part Carolina.
ForU. N. C. is here, we see it evr
ery where. Old friends are shaking
hands, and wearing smiles that are
too glad for words. We're happy,
that's it! '
The glorious freedom of gentlemen
is again ours the privilege of doing
what is instinctive and honorable
without being watched, and bugled,
and M. P.'d, and K. P.'d unceasingly.
Men feel that a new year has be
gun. The fall was not real to us.
But now we are living again. Our
life is beginning to function.
We look around us and see the good
things of life the old men, Dr. Moss,
class meetings, societies booming, ath
letics humming, and the great old
democracy of the place busy making a
family out of us. Friendships are
growing like Jack's Bean Stalk. Hu
man nature is asserting itself, and
men are living.
Ours it is now to prove worthy of
the opportunity. Our alma mater is
again functioning as of old. We have
gained some good things, no doubt,
from the turmoil a sense of appre
ciation at least.
And now, as Mr. Stacy said, it is
ours to "carry on," and show we are
men worthy to be captain's of our
souls.
In the light of the new days, we
welcome you back. We are sensible of
one very keen loss that you are feel
ing that of our President.
But somehow it seems that Mr.
Graham's spirit is here. He is one
of th mighty inarticulate one of
those who through absence now brings
tous the glory of his example. , His
spirit is with us, and animates us.
Those of us who have known him
must ever feel this.
So then, again, we say, "Welcome."
To Old and New
To you old men who have returned
to the University the Tar Heel extends
a word of welcome. You left us at a
time when you felt keenly your coun
try's call for service. Eagerly you
went from these walls to give the best
there was in you for a cause that you
knew was just. Your duty done, you
have returned to assume your work at
this institution and to share the privi
leges and benefits that Carolina has to
offer her sons. While you were away
we missed you, and now that you have
returned we are glad. We trust that
you will assume that same active part
in thelife of the University that was
yours before you went from us. With
you all actively engaged in the va
rious activities of University life, con
ditions here will once more be normal
and life within these walls again
pleasant and profitable.
You new men who have come to th.
University for the first time we wel
come with high hopes Some of you
were here during the fall months
lived and studied here under the mili
tary regime. Through these columns
we tried to get you to see and to ap
preciate the Carolina spirit and to in
fuse that spirit into a harmonious
development of mind, body, and spir
it, for in this way, we believe, you
get the very best that life can offer
any man. During your stay here at
the University you gained impressions
of the place which in all probability
will change as you live here through
the winter and spring. In the fall the
military feature over-clouded the real
University, but now the veil is lifted,
as it were, and you see the Carolina
that we, who have been here before
you, knew and loved. From now' on
the University is yours yours to see,
to hear, to learn, to know, and to re
ceive in some measure her manifold
gifts to the striving and forward-looking
of her sons.
At the Y. M. C. A. mass meeting
last Wednesday night you were infor
mally initiated into the various ways
of University life. While you are here
ycu will be treated fairly and squarely
as men. And we shall expect of you,
in turn, that fair play of the true Ca
rolina gentleman, for every man here
is assumed to be perfectly honest and
honorable this is the best reason we
have to explain the fact that our Hon
or System is today in a very healthy
condition.
The Tar Heel has no advice to throw
at you. We wish merely to encourage
you and to urge that you make the
best of your opportunities while here,
for in this way only will your college
career be satisfactory and creditable
to yourselves and to the University.
For the past three years we have
noted two reasons which largely ac
count for the failure of so many men
to stay in college and complete their
courses. These reasons are: the mak
ing of wrong kind of friends, and the
failure to go out for things.
New men, get a start now by mak
ing the right kind of friends. By this
we do not mean the fraternity man,
the non-fraternity man, the high man
in student undergraduate life nor any
other class type. We mean the
steady fellow who sticks to his work,
both in the class room and in outside
activities as well. We mean the men
who have clean and regular habits,
men whose friendship you will learn
to value.
Go out for something. Get into the
game. Don't be content to stand by,
a "peanut-eater," and watch the other
fellows work. Join the Literary So
cieties, get in on the Y. M. C. A.
work this winter, go out for varsity or
class basketball and other athletics,
take an active interest in the County
Clubs, write for the publications; in
short, get busy and make your stay
here worth while. Don't make the
mistake that hundreds have made and
think you haven't time. Make your
self a necessity. Tie up with some
thing so that when the time of trial
comes you will be prepared. Be
missed if you do leave and the proba
bility is that you won't leave. The
opportunity is yours, new men. Now
is the time SNAP OUT!.
A Democratic Achievement
The Yackety Yack can be made a
fresh and living portion straight from
the naked heart and life of Carolina.
It can translate the glad, free, whole
some life of youth, of a group of Caro
lina fellows, into a thing of beauty
and power. That must be and is our
ideal. No single individual nor two or
three individuals can even approxi
mate this kind of an annual. Such a
book by its inherent nature must rep
resent the very pulse-beat and heart
throb of this comradeship of Carolina.
There must be no partiality, no one
sidedness, nor tinge of any individual's
personality in it. Runnng through it
like a golden thread must be the Caro
lina spirit, must be something bigger
than individualism. It must be a book i
of democratic achievement. j
What message does this idea bring
to you, men, who think of Carolina's
welfare before your personal inter
est? It asks that your loyalty, your
fine feeling, shall express itself in ac
tion. And action should mean intelli
gent support, support not with the
mouth alone, but with head, with
imagination, with work, and with
money Here is an opportunity to
rise up to that eminence of a real
University man, who having outgrown
the stage of being an unrelated in
dividual, passes into the finer one
that makes him! a loyal element of the
community.
The Board of Editors wish to make
the Yackety Yack your book in a very
real and intimate way. They appeal to
you for voluntary contributions to the
various departments of the Annual.
They call for kodak pictures, draw
ings, cartoons, humor and suggestions.
They call upon you to interest others
in your book, to give of your imagina
tion and vital thought, and to do your
part to build it into a college annual
worth-while. This call from the Board
of Editors should appeal especially
to the Freshmen and Sopho
mores because from these two classes
must be selected the men who in a
year or two will be in control of the
annual.
The thing to do, then, is to get to
work. Only two things are necessary,
the ability and the desire to use that
ability. To show this desire, decide
to do something; to direct that ability
wisely, see Editor-in-Chief Eaton or
some of the other editors of the an
nual and get advice. START NOW.
The University Spirit
As a' well known faculty member
expressed it the other day we feel
as though we have been attending a
funeral since September. We have
buried the past.
It was almost like a dream a bad
one so natural is the transition. And
yet we can hardly control ourselves
from shouting "Welcome" at you from
all our columns this week. If we
were musical we'd write a hymn of
thanksgiving. So do we feel.
The old life opens up again with all
its myriad hopes. We feel as if it
were truly the old Carolina, that we
have witnessed a readjustment so
speedy that it was almost unhoped
for. But, old men, now that we are
all together once more let us make a
searching analysis of ourselves and
our associations. This much is evi
dent: All of us, autho not seared by
the white heat of war, have felt that
heat and have been made better there
by. We are better, more serious think
ing, more sincere individuals than we
have ever been before. War is a
cleanser, no matter if you experience
it at close quarters or from afar. We
have been made better by it, by our
sacrifices, by our experiences.
Understand, we are not trying to
grow sentimental in this. This is a
mere statement of an obvious fact.
Since this is true let us consider
briefly our present relations with our
University.
We have come back to her, changed
individuals. Have we come back to
the "old University" ? If so, what is
our attitude now? To be quite frank,
do we want the "old University"?
The answer is an emphatic No! In
this great world of progress we also
must progress. We have reached the
critical point of our existence. The
day of the new University is here,
in fact she is even now launching upon
her new career. We knew the old Uni
versity and we loved her for all that
was fine, and noble in her. But the
new University embodies all the ideals
and fineness of the old school and
with a greater perfection. The new
University that is now and is to be is
the greater University, the finer, the
nobler. ,
And we, as individuals, are greater,
finer,, nobler. It is eminently fit that
we be here now. Our task, as sons
of our University, is writ plain. We
need no directions. It is a privilege
to be here now.
Let us live that spirit that we shall
now call the "University spirit," the
spirit that has made our University
the greater, the spirit of service not
only to campus and student body, but
to state and nation.
That spirit is ours to live; it is a
high, shining light to guide us all. By
it are we bound by intimate, affec
tionate ties to the school we love.
This is our relation.
We do not preach, nor do we teach,
for we all know these are true facts.
We know that unselfish service is the
spirit of the University. . As loyal
sons, it must be ours.
Shall we, at this time of times, re
fuse the torch? God forbid!
The Honor System
To work with others in perfect har
mony; to trust implicitly your fellow
student; to have free expression; to
live the fullest and finest life; these
are expressions of our own Carolina
Honor System. ,
The Honor System is a thing to be
lived and not defined. When one at
tempts to give it a definition, he loses
the richness of its spirit and influ
ence. The highest expression of the
Honor System at Carolina is found
in the full free life of a Gentleman
whose interests are bigger than the
man. A true gentleman is an expon
ent of the Honor System.

Basketball Practice Begins
Class basketball received a great
impetus last year and the year be
fore when the Old Commons was
thrown open to that branch of winter
sport. The number of men participat
ing was very large and it meant an
increased interest in the sport which
eventually was reflected in the varsity.
Old Commons is no more. Now that
varsity basketball practice has begun
the gymnasium is open to all class
teams as well as the varsity. Captain
Cuthberton and manager Bynum have
prospects for a good season this win
ter and too much interest can not be
manifested in basketball. Let each
class, then, get together and select
its team. Not only will a large num
ber of men be given an increased
chance to exercise during the winter
months but the interest in class bas
ketball developed during the season
will tend to bring about better re
sults in putting out a varsity team
next year.
English 21 Plans a
Unique Schedule
Of great interest to those taking
English 21 this term was the an
nouncement, by Dr. Greenlaw, of a
unique schedule of work one that
promises to be of the most intense
interest to those in the course.
The class will devote their energies
chiefly to a Peace Conference and will
consider the issues at stake today and
the best arrangement of differences
for a successful binding peace. A
president and secretary of the confer
ence have already been elected and
chairmen of the various delegations
have been appointed. The class is now
divided into all the various delega
tion that will shortly meet at Ver
sailles and the work of the conference
has been actively and earnestly en
tered on the present discussion be
ing in regard to indemnities and ter
ritorial claims.
For originality and appropriateness
it is thought this plan has never been
equalled on the Hill. The work in
hand, of course, is of such a nature
that everyone is intensely interested
in its progress and outcome. It is the
ultimate desire of the students to see
how closely their settlement of issues
and their decision of future world
government will approximate the same
settlement to be made at Versailles
and to see also if the University con
ference can not come to a decision
before the other conference announces
their decisions.
The students in Electrical Engineer
ing, members of the A. I. E. E. So
ciety, has an attractive program
planned for the next meeting and the
men are all enthusiastic over the pros
pects of making their society one of
the "Live Wire" organizations of the
University during the coming term.
Herty Elected Student
Councilman-at-Large
At Chapel on Wednesday morning
the election of the member of the
Student Council was held. Dean Chase
on the previous morning in making
the announcement of the coming elec
tion spoke a few words on the Honor
System and the relation of the Student
Council to the student body. He
called the attention of the students to
the fact that there was more to col
lege than merely the studies and the
"machinery" of the institution. He
emphasized the importance of choos
ing the right man for the place.
The ballot was taken by standing
vote and when the results were noted
Frank Herty was announced as elected.
Literary Societies Make
Definite Post-War Plans
During the military regime of the
past fall, nearly every organization
on" the Hill "suspended operations,"
There were a few exceptions to this
state of affairs, and the literary so
cieties were among these. Despite the
severe military discipline which guided
our every move, the two societies
"carried on" in a manner very strik
ing. New rules and policies for the
war period had to be adopted. The
spirit of. support which was rendered
by the members of both societies was
truly that of real Carolina men, and
the realization of the fact that we
were facing a critical moment in our
lives served as a stimulus to the work
accomplished last fall.
Although there was a great loss of
old men who had entered service, a
large number of new members were
added to both societies. Several ini
tiations were held during the ' term.
Smokers were held on Saturday even
ings, when possible.
With the return of our former life
here on the campus, the societies are
lining up a full and intensive course
in future constructive citizenship. It
is the purpose and desire of each of
these organizations to get into closer
touch with every man on the cam
pus this spring and to show him the
real worth of the work done in the
halls of the Di. and Phi. Committees
have been appointed for the purpose
of securing new members for the so
cieties. The many friends of Robert B. Mc
Kee, '18, of Asheville, among the Caro
lina men of last year will be glad to
learn that he who was placed in com
mand of the first battalion of 350 men
on board the receiving ship of the
naval aviation at Boston, Mass., has
been transferred to the main ship and
made detachment commander. This is
the highest position conferred on the
main ship and the detachment num
bers about 2,000 men.
All the women students of last
term are back on the Hill. There are
thirty-two women in the different de
partments of the college.
