GRINDS AND BUTTERFLIES During this wonderful premature spring weather that Jupiter is be stowing upon the creatures on the earth now it is indeed a treat to stroll over to the Library and there inter estingly while away the evening hours yes, any way you choose. Only the real grinds are attracted by the lights of the Library these evenings. Don't be mistaken! Others go, , others besides the real grinds, but they tarry not long among the learn ed volumes that the noble ancestors of the University have bestowed up on this generation to cultivate the young Carolina minds. They go, yes. They sit, to be sure, but they have not the attitude of those that in tend to stay long. Every time the outside door opens and a young gal lant appears, the butterflies flutter simultaneous. The books which they are supposedly reading, sometimes upside down, hold no more interest for them. They all watch enviously to see who the lucky co-ed is going to be. As the couple walk happily out of the educated atmosphere, they all sigh, and watch expectantly for their admirer to appear. He will get there sooner or later. By 8:30 or 9 o'clock the last of the "get-around-the-date-rulers" have left with their dates to find more live ly scenes. Soft drinks even at high prices are very refreshing to those who have waited long and expectant ly; two hours of hard studying? in deed, a weariness of the flesh! Soft drinks, dopes and shakes, an evening stroll, her speech ever ready, facile, quick, picturesque, never-failing, and unending feuch a change from the monotony of the reading room They relate at length the subtlest details of their latest love affairs. Just what Bill meant by the second folder of the letter written the day before yesterday is a matter of conjecture which may be extended to last hours. (The woman with things on her mind can always find a listener in fact, several of them.) But back to the Library. After the interrupting element has dispersed, the grinds give a sigh of relief. Gen erally all that can be heard is the busy scratching pens, gliding swiftly over page after page of note' paper or the rapid turning of leaves. The lights blink, the bell rings, and all the grinds the real Beekers after learning close their books and 'go to their rooms to continue. Early morn ing will find them in the Library again, buried in their books, and off and on during the day, but the but terflies ah, the butterflies wait for the appearance of the lights at night before they doll-up and come to the reading room to begin their "study." .; ?..:..,. THE COLLEGE SPORT A stranger on any college campus will behold a certain species roaming at large, which, at first glance, is often taken for a picture, but if more closely examined will reveal life. This particular individual may be described as follows: latest style hat, form fitting suit and overcoat, cigar ette in one corner of .the mouth, and usually conspicuous horn rimmed glasses on his nose. He is found in every college and University, and he is as liable to be a senior as a freshman, the only difference between the more advanced college sport and the new one being that the former is beyond any last hope' of redemp tion. -Viy-. ';:." .-v';1 He is entirely devoid of any col lege spirit or any desire to mingle with the "common herd" of students who are doing things in college ath letics, politics, or any other college activities, not to speak of studies. This noble man of leisure is the college sport, and his bearing and attitude often inspire the casual ob server to seize a piece of plank and pat him on the head. KNOW YE ONE ANOTHER How many people on the campus do you know well? With how many others do you enjoy a passing ac quaintance ? Do you walk to and from the classes without once saying, "Hello" to a fellow-student? Or are you kept busy greeting passers by as you hurry along from one building to another ? Are the faces familiar to you those of a strictly limited group, or do you know men of every class and of the various or ganizations in the University ? Are there no professors you feel that you know well enough to do more than distantly nod to outside the class room? And why the fusillade of ques tions ? you may ask. They are prompted by recollection of the views of a friend, a former student, who used method in cultivating friends and practicing cordiality. The student had attended college elsewhere for two years before coming here. Af ter a few months he began checking off names in the student directory. A few months later, he repeated the process. Questioning revealed the information that here was a person who measured the success of his life in the University by the readiness with which he made friends. In the air castles of our pre-college days, the new friendships we are to form always hold a prominent place. Nothing seems quite so important to us when we look forward to the col lege life, and at the close of this life nothing holds so sacred a place" in our memory as those friends of ours. Ambition is 6f course impor tant in the pursuit of a college career. It perhaps is the guiding star which induces us to come here, and which keeps us here after we arrive. But friendships hold the dearest corners of our hearts and smooth over the rough places. Stern resolve is not powerful enough always to make things bearable when they appear dark and gloomy indeed. But a friend can banish the gloom by a few kind words and a little sympathy. We were struck by the novelty of our friend's idea. Many a time have we heard speakers whose experiences and wisdom we respected, nominate the University -campus as the place where a student forms the associa tions which are his alliances for life. We forget a large per cent, of the acquaintances we had in high school and earlier days, but the friends of our University period are forever cherished. LIFE Man comes into this world without his consent and leaves without his will. . During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of misunderstandings. In his infancy he is an angel; in his boyhood he is a devil; in his manhood he is everything from a lizard up; in his duties he is a damn fool; if he raises a family he is a chump; if he raises a check he is a thief and the law raises h with him; if he is a poor man he is a poor manager and has no sense; if he is rich he is dishonest but is considered smart; if he is in politics he is a graf ter and a crook; if he is out of poli tics you can't please him, as he is an "undesirable citizen"; if he goes to church he is a hypocrite; if he stays away he is a sinner; if he donates to foreign missions he does it for show; if he does not he fs stingy and a "tightwad." When he first comes into this world everybody wants to kiss him before he goes out they all want to kick him; when he is a little fellow the big girls all kiss him; when he is a big fellow the little girls all kiss him. If he dies young there was a great future before him; if he lives to a ripe old age he is in the way, only living to save funeral expenses. Life's a funny proposition after all. THE NOTE BOOK HABIT tDo you have the note boot habit? Hurrah for you! Then you have formed the habit of making notes on the things you hear and see, of in structions received or to be given, of things to do and to write, or places to go and things to say when you get there.. : .-,' ' . . You have the habit, then in plan ning your work, of routing it in the order in which it ought to be made, for the sake of time and economy or to be sure they will come in proper sequence when one is related to an other. You free your mind from the neces sity of becoming a storage house, and allow it to serve as a factory for ideas.. , - y : . You do not lose the hundred and one by-products of your day's work which would escape your mind and be relegated to that, enormous scrap heap of good ideas never acted upon. Your note book habit has prompted you to be more thorough, and it has made thoroughness easier. It has fostered the power to analyze.:, 'It has become so much a part of your life that you could not get along without it. THE Y. M. C. A. The average fellow too soon com mences to regard the elements that make up his environment as com monplace. And so the student goes about the campus with slight thought of the conveniences and pleasures about him. During the ' past six months the Y. M. C. A. has adapted itself to student life in a most effec tive way. During the painful regime of the S. A. T. C. it served tse fellows in every possible way, even to the ex tent of installing a commissary de partment when it was forbidden to go to town. Now with the campus re stored to normal, it has again taken into account the objects of student in terest. The dance hall in the associa tion building, the universally appreci ated movies, and the series of lectures on choosing a profession, are ex amples of its service. In the midst of this activity we catch sight of Sec retary Wunsch, to whom we must ascribe most of the credit. We owe it to the Association and its secretary to express the dormant but neverthe less real sentiment of the student body that the great services rendered are keenly appreciated. EDWARD KIDDER GRAHAM The following which is self explan atory, recently appeared in The Na tion: To the Editor of the Nation: Sir: OLess than five years ago, in a brief survey of the history of the University of North Carolina in con nection with the inauguration of Ed ward Kidder Graham as president, I spoke of the occasion as heralding the beginning of an educational era in North Carolina. The first brief, brilliant chapter in this new era, with reference to North Carolina, may be said to have come to a close with the sudden, untimely death, from in fluenza followed by pneumonia, - of President Graham at Chapel Hill on October 26 last. The ideal of uni versity extension, which animated him throughout his incumbency as president, found fortunate expression in the initially successful ' attempt to realize, in the light of modern edu cational theories and social ideas, the larger mission of the University in a democratic State. The exceptionally warm and widely-expressed approval, by the people of North Carolina, of the policies which he inaugurated and put into effect, as well as the extra ordinary demonstration of regret over his loss, constitutes the best evidence of their soundness and success. As a student of the University of North Carolina (class of '98), Edward Graham made an extraordinary im pression upon the life of the institu tion 'by his radiant democracy, his mature judgment, his instinctive grasp of college problems, and his exceptional ability on the platform, as orator and debater, even more than by his high scholarship, genius for friendship, and rich sense of hu mor. His public addresses, even in his under-graduate days, were marked by beauty of phrasing and depth of content; and more than one of his mblic utterances in later years be onged in the category of true oratory emotionally moving in delivery and elevating in appeal. As a teacher of English at his alma mater for a pe riod of thirteen years (1900-1913), as instructor, associate professor, and professor, in turn, he transfused his work with the quality of beauty. He rightly regarded his teaching, not as a task, but as . a work of art. His rare success as a teacher was chiefly due to hi3 great gifts of human sym pathy and artistic sensitiveness to delicate shades of aesthetic value. From the national standpoint, Gra ham gave to the country an inspiring object lesson. It is no less than jus tice to affirm that in the brief period of his incumbency as president he was rapidly winning national recognition for North Carolina as the Wisconsin of the South. Through ever-widening spheres of influence, he was car rying out a liberal and democratic policy of extension, not as thinly stretching out its resources to the State boundaries for the purpose of protective expansion, nor as carrying down to those without the castle walls broken bits of learning, but as the ra diating power of a new passion, car rying in natural circulation the uni fied culture of the race. , ARCHIBALD HENDERSON.
