VOL XXXI. Karen 20. 1903 No. 42
WILL HAVE SOME WEIGHT
The student vote on the question of
erecting the proposed woman's building
on the University campus showed that
approximately nine-tenths of the stu
dent body is .against the measure. That
ts, approximately nine-tenths of the
University students, including the wo
men students, are opposed to using mon
ey out of the recent appropriations for
building a co-ed dormitory.
The quocion ntiirally arisen; What.
does this mean? Have the students a
dictum in the matter, and what differ
ence does it make whether the Univer
sity students are for or against co-edu
cation or building of a co-educational
dormitory? Much of the criticism of
the Tar Heel's propaganda has been
ridicule in this respect. It has been
said that the Building Committee and
the Trustees will not take in consid
eration at all our voice in the matter.
We are not trying to dictate to the
authorities what should be done with
the money appropriated the University.
We are merely expressing our opinion,
and the Tar Heel believes that the opin
ion of the students will have some effect
on the decision of thOBe in authority.
The students of the University are right
here in Chapel Hill, and can see and
realize the general conditions prevail
ing. The students of the University
are in a better position than anybody
in the state to know what is best in a.
question such as this, and see and feel
every day the greater needs of the Uni
versity, as do they also see just how co
education and the further encourage
ment of co-education works. Could the
sentiment of this body of intelligences,
so closely in touch with the real situa
tion, be passed up as absolutely nil?
We are inclined to think not. And the
function of the Tar Heel as essentially
a student and campus newspaper, is to
work through the students on any such
University question that arises, and get
at the true students' views.
The Tar Heel believes that the gen
eral sentiment of the student body here
is that co-education, in the first place,
Is fundamentally wrong; that a mistake
was made when the doors of the Uni
versity were first flung open to students
down as low as the Junior class; that
since such a step has been made, co
education should not be further encour
aged by providing luxurious facilities
for the women, and especially from an
appropriation wholly needed to provide
facilities for the large majority of men
students, and in view of the fact that
an appropriation almost as healthy has
just been made to the real women's col
lege at Greensboro, although that insti
tution is a much younger college. We
think that the ballot taken has gone
to prove the fact that such a senti
ment prevails among the students. We
further believe that this sentiment will
not be discarded lightly by the Build
ing Committee and the University Trustees.
The Tar Heel, since announcement of
an uncompromising stand against the
erection of the proposed woman's build
ing out of the recent appropriations,
and against unlimited co-education in
general, for that mater, has been criti
cized as being illogical, emotional, pre
judiced, and by one estimable journal,
"The Ehamkatte Boaster," as "un
chivalrous toward the gals."
"'The chief criticism of the Tar Heel's
faulty logic has come from the Univer
sity professor of Philosophy aud those
dyed-in-the-wool disciples and follow
ers in his department. They have ral
lied strong to champion the University
professor's indictment that any stand
against co-education in the present
status is decidedly illogical, and in fits
of revelry they attached their names
to the affirmative of the ballots last
week, loudly proclaiming themselves as
the "thinking" and "intelligent" few
who reasoned the question out on the
basis of logic. Many of this group, we
have no doubt, are dishonest with them
selves in the whole business, and down
in their hearts are against co-education
and against the woman's building. But
they had to be logical, and they had to
side with the University professor who
in such matters is invariably right.
Figured on a purely logical basis, the
Tar Heel admits that it has no case
against the admission of women stu
dents to the University and the erec
tion of the woman's dormitory. Fig
ured on a purely logical basis as dis
agreeable as the analogy may seem,
and as much criticism as it has already
brought down, but which we are bold
to put forth again the colored citizens
of the state should be permitted to reg
ister in the University. We realize per
fectly that we are not adding to our.
popularity in again referring to this
analogy, but this is a matter for the
logicians to work out. Tell us how log
ically (omitting all emotions and pre
judices) a stand against their registra
tion here could be justified.
The Tar Heel realizes that the door
of the University has been opened to
women students, from the junior classes
up, and that the, doors will stay open,
regardless of our feeble wishes. Yet
we do not hesitate to voice our opinion
that that was where the University
made its first mistake. The college at
Greensboro should have been developed
to such an extent that work could be
procured there that would put its senior
class on a par with the University sen
ior class. Then, for the women students
to could bore to enter th professional
schools and take graduate work, and
for those who live in Chapel Hill, such
a .plan of limited co-education would
have been well and good. Even now,
we believe that such a change would
not be impracticable and if the people
of the state who are actually opposed
to co-education would come out and
voice their true sentiment such a change
could be brought about. As it is; many
people say that now that we have co
education, although we do not think
that it is a good thing, the women
should be taken care of properly.
The Tar Heel believes that even since
this question of co-education has been
settled, wisely or unwisely, with so
many people still opposed to it, includ
ing ourselves, and feeling that it
should not be encouraged, with the Uni
versity still essentially a man's insti
tution, the money appropriated by the
state should first go to provide proper
facilities for the men.
He is in a position to at least make
us think, and whether his logic is strong
enough to convince or not, it is good
to be stirred a little once a month.
The Tar Heel's avowed purpose to
put a quietus on co-education at the
University for ALL TIME is certainly
looking a long way into the future.
I sincerely question the statement that
the construction of a women 's dormi
tory would mean an overwhelming in
flux of women students here in the next
few years. In the first place, the con
struction of such a building would mean
in no way the altering of the present
rules with respect to their admission
to Ihe University. Furthermore, it can
not bo shown that the women of the
slate have any desire to flood the Uni
versity with girla direct from the high
schools. Indeed, I am quite confident
that, if left entirely to a vote of the
mothers of North Carolina, the decis
ion would be for the present entrance
requirements.
It is the height of folly for the stu
dent body, or certain members of it, to
attempt, by appeal to prejudice and
expediency, into one of which classes
most of the communications printed in
the EXTRA issue of the Tar Heel fall,
to change this UNIVERSITY into the
NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE FOR
MALES. The co-eds are asking in their
resolutions for nothing that cannot with
perfect fairness be granted. We are
proud to boast, and to advertise abroad,
"THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH
CAROLINA, MAXIMUM SERVICE
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE,"
and yet the Tar Heel puts out an EX
TRA heralding abroad that the student
body of the University wishes to deny
to half of the citizenship of the state
any of that service, except what ac
crues to them indirectly through service
to the men of the state.
I decline to believe that the resolu
tions of the co-eds constitute a mass of
"sentiment" and "rubbish." In fact,
I believe that there is not half so much
''sentimental rubbish" from "the his-'
tory of grammatical phraseology" in
the resolutions of the co-eds, as there is
prejudicial rot and poor logic in the
editorial comment appended to the res
olutions as printed in the Tar Heel.

Work On Relativity
By Dr. Henderson
The University, through the bureau
of extension, will issue shortly an ex
tended monograph on the subject of
Relativity by Dr. Archibald Henderson,
head of the department of mathemntics.
The book will be a fully illustrated,
popular exposition of the subject, so
simply written as to bring the funda
mentals of the subject within the rang&
of average intelligence.
Dr. Henderson has written a number
tf articles on this subject and has con
ducted to seminar courses for graduates
involving the general and special theory.
During the spring quarter he will give
an introductory course for undergraduates.

Mince and Comments
AN OPPOSITION THAT
PLEASES
Many of the state papers have com
mented on the advisability of erecting
a woman's dormitory here out of the
sum recently appropriated the Univer
sity. We feel infinitely obliged to the
News and Observer and its well known
comic supplement, "The Ehamkatte
Boaster," for their customary plati
tudinous and nonsensical dissertations.
Considering seme of the recent editorial
advocations of these political gazettes,
and in lieu of the general well-known
political situation of the state, nothing
benefitted or delighted us more than
to have the author of that endearing
title "Bless me, this is pleasant, riding
on the rail" oppose our cause.
To the horse shoe throwers in front
of the Old East building, the leading
question of the day is not the Co-Ed
dormitory problem but wnether or not
horse shoe pitching shall be made a
major sport.

If this works out in five years we'll
have collections taken in chapel for gold
horse shoes for the Carolina Four, South

Last week a freshman by drawing a
pair of fives and a couple of sixes in
a poker game won his expenses for the
Winter quarter. The next day the same
freshman by drawing a pair of fives and
a couple of sixes from the Registra s
office lost a spring quarter's work.

To the Editor of the Tar Heel:
At last the Tar Heel takes a definite
stand on some question! That is en
couraging, for it may be an indication
that the Editor plans to take an active
part in the building of campus opinion
during the last quarter of this year.
"In the Spring the young man's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love," and
Norman Shepherd and Victor Young
were brave enough to champion the
Co-Eds.
