KAMPUS KARAKTERS
The Faculty man
Never pausing to parley
When stopped by the student
Feverish for favour,
Proceeds the proud professor
Across the campus.-
In hand his honored hand-bag
Packed with precious prize pieces
Furnished by Freshmen;
Or with, bottles of brown Bevo
The spirit to soothe.
He speaks of sweetest Shakespeare
Or mighty magestic Milton,
Never do we know . '
He longs for his loved "Lowbrows"
The club of Cobb Terrace.
The first track meet is only a month
off and the team should be at work
inearnest. There are some very en
thusiastic, hard-working men out, but
there are not enough. There should
be at least forty or fifty men on the
track every afternoon. The first meet
with Trinity on April 7th, is folowed
closely by the triangular meet with
Virginia and V. M. I. at Charlottes
ville, on April 14th. It is going to
take some hard work and training to
meet this schedule, and we should get
to work at once. Track is receiving
such support from the faculty this
year as it has not received before in
several years ,and it is up to the stu
dents to acknowledge this support
and put out a winning team. To do
this is going to require a large num
ber undergoing constant training. Be
sides the two meets mentioned above
we have the state meet on May 1st
and the South Atlantic on May 8th.
It is a good schedule, but also a very
hard one, and we must show the man
agement that we deserve the con
fidence they have shown in us in se
curing such a schedule. We must
show them that we are out of the
small school class in track as well as
in other branches of athletics.
T. E. Latham Lectures
To School Of Commerce
On last Thursday night Mr. J. E.
Latham, of Greensboro, spoke to the
Commercial students on the subject
of "Merchandising' in Cotton." Dean
Carroll explained in his introduction
of Mr. Latham, that the School of
Commerce was trying to make its in
structions practical as well as theoret
ical, and to that end they were having
business men of the state and nation
speak to the students about the differ
ent business interests of the United
States.
Mr. Latham confined his talk to
rate of exchange and the process to
be gone through when financing crops
like the cotton crop. He took an op
timistic attitude in regard to the
present provincial troubles. On the
whole, his talk was marked by clear
ness and one from which the students
in the School of Commerce will de
rive great benefit. ,

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A sacred pleasure dome decree,
Where Alph the sacred river ran
And carried thence his private stock
And kept it under key and lock
Far from the profane gaze of man.

JEFFERSON STANDARD LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY
GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
To the Faculty and Students of the University of North Carolina :
We invite your attention to the following statements which we believe to be true : . ;
First: That the ability of the State of North Carolina to support the University is dependent upon the State's continued pros
perity and development. ,
Second: That the attendance of the present students and all future students of the University is dependent upon this same pros
perity and development.
. .
Third: That the future of practically the entire student body and a greater portion of the faculty of this institution is absolutely
dependent upon this same prosperity and development. ...
Fourth: That money that circulates throughout the world contributes indirectly to this prosperity and development.
Fifth: That it is only DOLLARS THAT CIRCULATE IN NORTH CAROLINA that contribute DIRECTLY to this pros
perity and development.
THE JEFFERSON STANDARD KEEPS IN NORTH CAROLINA EVERY DOLLAR PAID US FOR LIFE INSURANCE.
In the face of the above facts how can you justify the sending of your money outside the state for life insurance protection?
