The Tar Heel, is having- a diffi
cult time trying- to lead an orthodox
existence.- If someone would kind
ly furnish us with a list of "donts"
our task would become much easier,
and doubtless many mistakes would
be avoided.
The Societies, endeavoring to
stimulate an interest in Society
work, have inaugurated two more
Inter-Society Debates;aud this year
we will have three contests between
the Societies instead of one as here
tofore. If we understand the ar
rangement, the two debates that
have recently been inaugurated are
merely to train men for the annual
contest that' takes place in the
Spring1. Seniors were made ineli
gible for the two preliminary con
tests in order to stimulate the in
terest of the underclassmen. We
believe the restriction is a wise one
for too often such work is left to
Seniors; and when the underclass
man becomes a Senior, he is unable
to perform the task with credit
either to himself or Society, for the
lack of previous training. We wish
the new movement success.
We don't know just what we
ought to say with regard to the
recent outrages that have been per
petrated in our midst. Perhaps we
should say nothing and hide the
facts from outsiders if possible.
But so long as we tolerate in silence
suqh conduct the blame rests equal
ly upon us all.
Property has been destroyed, rec
itation rooms defiled and desecrat
ed, professors insulted, and the
whole student body suffers and
bears the blame. By whom was
this deviltry committed? Why
should the student body bear the
blame that should rest upon the
shoulders of men who could be
counted upon the fingers of one's
hand? Why should professors be
allowed to lecture classes on this
subject, not knowing whether their
men were guilty or innocent? Why
should the authorities in walking
through the campus have the right
to suspect every man whom they
meet? Simply because we have not
reached the point where we ,are
able to report such conduct and are
content to assume our part of the
blame rightly belonging to t others.
We have no harsh words for these
men; we are only saddened when
we think of what they have done.
But we want to ask, how much
longer are we to tolerate these
abuses? In the words of Jajor
Cain, "Foster a public senment
that will make such baseness ijpos-
ible."
SI
The Tar Heel has on tf oc
casions made reference in a g?eral
sort of a way to the literaryocic:
ties and called attention to thpene
fits to be derived from excises
such as they offer. We are id to
know that a number of ne menj
have availed themselves of e ad
vantages pointed out and wejoice
to say to our alumni that b i the
Di and Phi are doing work ch as
they have not done for many year.
The interest is . stronger""" the
sentiment healthier than i have
ever seen it. .'To any st
who intend to join
say that you are
rj;glers
"some tie we
missinoevery
week a golden opportunity join
now, and if there is anything you
it will have every chance fi devel
opment.

Southern gridiron.
In a hostile town with
against her, Carolina plat
liantgame, and preventedaer oppo
she
was unable to score hersef.
Carolina endured the trrific on
slaughts of her opponei s till her
goal was in danger and ten brac
ing herself would securj the ball
and carry it out of hai's wav.
Virginia would then ge the ball
and the same act would h repeat
ed. We were disappointed at first
over the result of the gaineAut since
we have examined the factstae find
that the 'Varsity put up a Able ex
hibition of foot-ball; and wlfcn this
is the case U. N. C. will alukys be
glad to honor her team whetier sie
be beaten or victorious.

were very interest. t'
the gridiron. VIctorJ,?f '
ayette ove" of Pa., and the fail
ure of vale to capture the scalps of
the ' Carlisle Indians have broken
somewhat the exclusiveness of "the
really first class teams". .
This reminds us, of the base ball
contests of last, spring and the good
showing made by some of the smaller
colleges against, their more preten
tious rivals. In fact, a general
survey of college athletics seems to
indicate that in the future the four
great universities Will, not have it
entirely their way. Great, super
iority in numbers must, of course,
count in the end but Yale, Prince
ton, U. of Pa. and Harvard ' will
have to look more closely to their
laurels.
Take the West for instance. With
all her sturdy manhood, wealth,
etc., it is but .reasonable to expect
her soon to be successfully compet
ing with the East. . The records of
some of her last year's teams were
by no means bad and the prospects
for this year are good.
In the South here we find the
same tendency at work on a small
scale. The University of Virginia
and the University of North Caro
lina, not long since without a rival
in athletic contests, have to night
their way now from October to
Thanksgiving Day. Nothing could
be better for us, however, for com
petition is th'e life of other things
besides trade and if we have the
right sort of spirit,- each year will
find us with a better team than the
preceding.
In all probability, Pennsylvania and
Lafayette will again meet on the
gridiron this season. Pennsylvania
is anxious to regain her good reputa
tion and accordingly must defeat Laf-.
ayette. As an incentive, Pennsyl
vania offers Lafayette the total amount
of the gate receipts. She will ' also
erect an additional seating capacity
on Franklin field of 10,000 making the

Southern Presbyterian Church haJ total capacity of about 30,000
appointed Sunday, November 1st,
as a "Day of Prayer jfor Schools
and Colleges!" Accordinc"! v. there
will be a special service at the Pres
by terian church Sunday night.
An interesting program has been
made out and good music may be
expected. The pastor, Mr. Curry,
Dr. Venable,: Prof. Gore, Prof. But
ler, Mr. F. L. Harris and Mr. C. R.
Johnston wall make short talks, 5
to 8 minutes, on particular topics.
This service will be j beneficial as
well as entertaining ' to those who
attend. Everyone is cordially in
vited to come. Let us, as students,
show our appreciation of the inter
est the good people of the country
take in us.
Service begins at 7:00 P. M.

wuuuiv. xix Hit last issue 01 tbp
TAR ilEEL, we notice an editorial
suggesting tnat .some room comfort
ably furnished with games and otk
tribute largely to the pleasure of
the students.
The Young Men's Christian As !
sociatibn feels the need of just such'
a place. A places where the stu
dents may have a common home-
place where the hard routine of
study may , be interspersed with
some of the pleasures of the homi
from which they come; a place to
the cheerfulness of which each and
every bne wil feel it his duty ad
his privilege to contribute.
In the spring of '95, a movement
was started to raise $20,000 for the
erection of a Y. M. C. A. building.
Asa result, $6,654 have been sub
- J t. a
scriueu, wurit lu commence as soon
as $10,000 are secured. It is to con
tain a lecture room, a reading room
drawing rooms and parlors, al
neatly and cosily furnished.
The Committee for this year wil
exert every energy not only to se
cure enough to complete the firs
ten thousand, but also to get the!
remaining ten thousand in sight.
A university as large as ourd
should have a building of this kind
arid the sooner we see its spires on
our campus, the sooner will there
be a stronger band of friendship
uniting us, a better tone of mora
sentiment in our body", and a deeper!
spiritual and religious life. Let
every man in the University put his
shoulder to the wheel, and out o
this concert ot , action will comq
grander and more glorious result
than has been the outgrowth of any
previous movement in our midst.
