THIS IS NO PLACE FOR A THIEF
There are thieves at the University.
Men in the dormitories have lost their
personal belongings; equipment has
been stolen from the laboratories.
There are thieves at the University
and they must go, branded as thieves
when detected and sent from this
place, whose honor system they have
abused, whose students they have
wronged, whose name they have at
tempted to blacken.
It is characteristic of the Univer
sity that it never tries to evade or
sidestep an unpleasant situation. .It
is characteristic of the student body
that when a meeting was called in
chapel Tuesday morning the building
was crowded to its utmost capacity.
After the first bitter, scourging shock
of the news of the .thefts, the student
body's action was immediate and vig
orous. Class meetings were called
after dinner and before the bell began
to ring every class and every schbol
in the University were meeting with
the largest class attendances of the
year meeting to face this problem,
to look an ugly situation in the face
and to take a united stand against it.
"This has been a year of solid
achievement," said . Dean Graham
Tuesday morning, in chapel. Nothing
could better emphasize the truth of
that statement than the response of
the student body in three hours' time
to . meet this menace of thievery in
our, midst. The University is sound
from the bottom up ; the student body
is fine and clean and strong, and their
action only further demonstrates the
truth of this.
Now listen, thief or thieves
whether you be one of a half-dozen,
this is meant for you: If we find
you,, and we eventually shall, if you
stay here and continue your practice,
we will drive you away. There is not
the smallest iota of sympathy here
for a thief; there is no intention to
try' and reform you, to "give you an
other chance." You have desecrated
the temple, you have prostituted the
honor of a place that is as dear to
us as the "honor of a woman that we
love," and you must go. You have
committed . the unpardonable sin.
You poor things, vile moral degen
erates, did you think that this student
body would stand for your unclean
practices, thjs student body? Do
you think you can hide yourself and
your insane debauchery in this group
6f men? ' You haven't a chance.
These men are clean and you are be
fouled, unclean a Ithief. You are
the black, sheep in a flock of white
pnesv..: Thief, ' or thieves, leave here
now while you have a chance to save
your, sneaking faces, leave here be
fore .you have been hurled from our
gate - with the brand upon you a
loathsome thng that no man will
come near.
' You were offered citizenship in the
cleanest and freest community in the
world, you were given a chance to be
men, along with your comrades, think
your own1 lives through,- and master
ing the situations that beset you. In
stead .you have let thievery master
you, you have bartered away your
individuality to be the slave of theft
You were given a chance "to see God,"
you have buried your faces in the
slime.
There can be no excuse for such
ss you, you have attempted to dis
honor a place whose worth you have
never realized, and you must go
Carolina has no welcome for a thief

longer. They defied gravity and
space with their marvelous super
feats of juggling. Lindsey then led
the Glee Club to the high halls of
everlasting fame, to say nothing of
the wonderful basses who chimed
forth in veritable imitation of the
world-renowned Durham Bull. And
in the meantime ice cream, etc., was
being devoured by the block, and the
air was thick with song and stream
ers and plates.
. The Right Learned Thomas Clay
ton Wolfe, in a short but wittily elo
quent harangue, proposed a toast to
the townspeople and the faculty. Dr.
Moss, from the community, respond
ed, proposing a toast to the students
and faculty; and Dr. Chase completed
the trio by offering a toast to the stu
dents and community. (Note: this
was dry toast, of .course.)
"Ikey" Brooks tickled the piano,
and in the meantime the stage was
being made ready for a grand finale
or review of all college types for
all were present. Caroline was sym
bolized as the Mill of the Gods, and
little Tommy Wilson, representing
big Tommy ground out the products,
while George Crawford "read an ap
propriate verse. Co-ed J. L. Cobb
was followed by Freshman Dave Sin
clair, who was kicked off by the
mighty soph, George Denney, who in
turn was awed by the Junior Red
Lineburger, who gave way to the dig
nity of the Cap and Gown, worn by
Cowles Bristol. Diogones H. West
pursued his search for a teacher,
while Doctor Poston performed the
painful and difficult operation of sev
ering George Crawford from a five
spot. Judge Baggett had some diffi
culty, for he had a difficult task, but
he finally succeeded in moving the
Law Library single-handed. Bill Neal
then showed Bill Merritt how to look
up the solution of any and all engi
neering problems, provided he had the
proper book. Ed. Quillan demon
strated the remarkable power as a
salesman that he had acquired in the
School of Commerce. Stone (appro
priate picked) cracked a joke with
the Geological hammer. Beamer Bar
rel! represented the football star and
Earl Spencer tripped forth in the
glad rags of the trackman. Umstead
lazily lounged around and almost suc
ceeded in putting the audience to
sleep, so vell did he carry out his
natural acting ability Neiman played
the villain, and a ripping good
villain did he make, judging by his
long knife. Andrews passed around
the hat for the "Y." Then came the
feature: Our youngest publication
made its debut into society, and be
lieve me, that Rastus is a regular
Tar Baby.
And now each type is past,
Still Tommy grinds away.
For centuries we're sure he'll last
And drink ten dopes each day. ,
And as the University
Each year grows great and strong
We're sure that no adversity
Can keep us from our song
Of "Hark, the sound of Tar Heel
voices .. .
Ring clear and true"
All the state in turn rejoices
"Hail to N. C. U."

the Revaluation Act, a temporary
measure, was as far as the legisla
ture could constitutionally go. '
Mr. Morrison was the second of the
would-be Governors to addres sthe
University community and from the
interest that has been manifested by
the students in these two addresses
it would seem that they are more vi
tally interested in citizenship than
anything else
DIABETIC DISCIPLES
HOLD FORTH IN FEED
(Continued from page one)
The meetnig early resolved itself
into a democratic political convention.
Seetbjmg and unrestricted agitation
was the order of the hour, for an
other of the gubernatorial candi
dates, Mr. George Pickard, dean of
the campus and protector of tender
Freshmen, was present -to make the
maiden speech of his campaign. Spec
ulation was rife as to the nature the
address would take.. So serious was
the occasion that it took three men
to complete the process of introduc
tion. Mr. Leatherwood, in a very
happy mood, called the attention of
the hall to Mr. Erwin, of Morganton,
who then called upon Mr. Taylor to
wind up the ball. , Mr. Taylor assur
ed Mr. Pickard that the Di Society
was behind him to a man and intro
duced him to the hall as the next
Governor of North Carolina.
With gravity of composure and
dignity of mien the candidate rose
and began his discourse, which was
characterized by an eloquence which
would have put Demostehenes to
shame, by a fineness of dictum which
would have caused the most astute
professor of English to awake from
his lethargy, and by wit and com
pactions that would have forced Sir
Francis Bacon to remain within the
confines of Gray Inn and never ven
ture out. While he did not hold out
any prospects of a life abundant and
did not stand upon those basic prin
ciples upon which the structure of
our entire governmental system rests,
yet he showed himself to be thor
oughly in accord with the old democ
racy. His platform consisted xf only
one plank and that was that if he was
nominated for the high position
which he sought he would see to it
that the ditches across the campus
were filled up so the Republicans
might not fall in.
The effect of the speech upon the
audience was instantaneous. Cries
of "Pickard for Governor" rent the
air. The news that the Di Society
favored Pickard for Governor was
spread with" incredible rapidity, for
before the meeting was over (tele
grams (?) were received from Ral
eigh and Washington saying that the
Di Society had made a wise choice
It was his speech in the convention
that secured for Dean Pickard the en
dorsement of the Di Society just as
the "Cross of Gold" speech won the
Great Commoner the Presidential
nomination in days gone by. It has
been suggested that a prize of two
Pick tickets be offered to the person
suggesting the best name for Mr.
Pickard's classic address.
Dr. Collier Cobb was the next
speaker. Dr. Cobb gave a brief ac
count of the past history of the Di
Society. A first it was called a "De
bating Societyy," but later a group of
men seceded from it and former the
Concord Society. The Debating So
ciety later became the Di and the
Concord the Phi. It was noticed that
most of the men from the uplands
joined the Di and what was at first
political division later became a geo
graphic division, for we are largely
what we are because we are where
we are." Men were forced to join a
society until 1885. The matter being
in balance until 1892, when member
ship was placed upon a purely volun
tary basis. Dr. Cobb pointed out the
fact that it was Prof. H. H. Williams
who brought about a renewed interest
in scholarship and athletics in the
University and also a more hearty
interest in literary society work'. Dr.
Williams was behind the movement'
that led to intercollegiate debating
in the University. Professor Cobb
mentioned the fact that Dr. Hart,
of the . History Department at How
ard College, on a trip south, declared
that he had found real debating only
in the House of Representatives at
Washington and in the Di . Society.
ater on, when Dr. Hart was asked
to write an introduction to a book
on debating, he ranked the college it
erary societies in the following
order: Princeton, North Carolina,
Yale and Howard. '

After Dr. Cobb's talk, a number

speeches. Mr. Beers, who had had
a speech brewing for some time, re
plied in a foamy way to a very
fruitful speech by Mr. Apple. Messrs.
Dashiell, Moffat, Selin and Hutchins,
of the faculty, were also present and
made short talks.

The fundamental idea of Japan is to

After the vesper service Kita and
G. D. Crawford were the guests at a
real Japanese tea party. Crawford
spoke on the work of the University
"Y," and Kita spoke, this time in
Japanese, which was interpreted by
Mrs. Weittinham, a returned mis
sionary, on "The American Girl vs.
the Japanese Girl."
"The American girl's nose is very

LAW CLUBS PROVE
A GREAT SUCCESS
(Continued from page one)
Carolina, says that they have made
excellent progress, some even rival
ling the Harvard clubs, which have
been established for sixty years. Next
year the Law School is expecting an
increase in the number of students
which will necessitate the enlarge
ment of tne clubs. Plans are being
made for next year's second year men
of each club to plead against the
other club3 in the form of a tourna
ment. The clubs have proved excep
tionally successful this year, and an
even larger success is expected next
year.
Judgment
In the selection of your
Clothes need not neces
sarily be based on tech
nical knowledge of clothes
making.
When you come to a store like
this you've taken the first in
good judgment.
You place your reliance for good
quality and good style upon the
reputation of the store or the
makers of the clothes we handle.
CyThompsonSays-
To Ex -Service Men:
President Wilson has signed
the Sweet law recently passed
by Congress, making many de
sirable changes in the six per
manent forms of Government
Life Insurance. The choice of
lump sum settlement to your
estate is one of them.
Come in to see me in my of
fice opposite the campus and
learn in detail how you may re
instate your lapsed policy or
convert all or any portion of
yours.
Unless you need additional
coverage, particularly for pro
tection to credit, we will not
even discuss the advantages of
the superior service that the
first-chartered' purely mutual
Amercian company offers over
most commercial companies.
