All communications for this paper should be in the hands of the Fditor-in-Chief by Monday at noon to insure publication the same week. Ve shall be glad to publish pertinent discussions of college topics. The Tar Heel will welcome news items, and hopes the whole college will aid it along this line. : A Plain Duty. The students of the University many of them, need some plain talking- to about The Tar Heel. Their lack of interest in it and their failure to aid its editors in making- its columns brig-hter and better might well be made the text for an edi torial. But it is of an even greater dereliction from duty than this that we are going to speak. The paper does not receive from the col lege the financial support that it has a rierht to expect. The facts of this matter may sur prise some; but it can be verified by reference to the books of the busi ness manager. It is that more than half the men in college do not take the paper even i n shares. Why is this? Where is that splendid "col lege spirit" of which we are wont to boast? Surely one of the primary manifestations of a man's love for his college is his support of his col lege paper, which is the paper of the students and the exponent of the college before the public. From those who do subscribe to the paper it is like pulling eye teeth to get the pittance the subscription costs. There is something wrong when the college paper has fairly to struggle to get the cash necessary for its existence from week to week. There is something wrong- with the man who won't subscribe to his col lege paper or who will subscribe and won't pay. He is usually the citizen who has the brazen assurance to do the most fault-finding. No paper can be run without financial aid, and the more money the better the paper. Of course the services of the editors arc gratuitous, but if its patronage would justify, con siderable improvement could be made in the get-up of the Tar Heel. We hope that every man in college who has failed in his manifest duty to his paper vvil 1 take these re marks to himself and ponder them in his heart. day, enthusiastic over the gentle man v conduct of our men in the -game; and the fairness of the ofii-; jcials. No charge can be brought I 1. .i. .L..i ' t- HTU-4- iiguinsi us hi mat lcsjjcti. we wish to invite the special atten tion of the college to is the fact that the visiting team should be better looked after and entertained. There seems a determination to make their visit as dead a failure in a social as in an athletic way. Thev are generally allowed to flock to themselves and kill the time as best they can. One might suppose that the visitors were regarded as bitter foes rather than as opponents in a friendly contest. Let us put a stop to this sort of seeming "dog in the manger" spirit. It has little existence in point of fact, and what seems to be such is a mixture of thoughtlessness and indolence. The Southern people have always been an hospitable people, and it is not for us to compromise that repu tation. Every man in college ought to feel that he is a committee on entertainment when gentlemanly visitors corne to us in a representa tive capacity from other institutions. PENS. GUARANTEED. It has been a muter of remark that the men who come here to meet us in athletic contests are not properly treated. We do not mean on the athletic field, for the teams generally leave, as that did Satur- The boys who have gone away to stand for the University on the grid iron know that they carry with them the earnest good wishes of those they leave behind. Our life and our hopes will be pretty much cen tered in them for a few days. Whether they win or loose, we can rest confident that they will do their best, for the team has a spirit in it. We are hoping and praying that they may not know defeat. Shakespeare Club. The Shakespeare Club held its first meeting on the evening of the 23rd. in Gerrard Hall. The fol lowing officers were elected: Dr. Thos. Hume, President; E. K. Gra ham, Vice President; Dorman Thompson, Secretary; J. C. B. Ehringhaus, Treasurer. Repre sentatives of the graduate and un dergraduate classes have been se lected as councillors, who with the above officers will be Directors of the Club. The night's prooramme was very effectively done by Messrs. Newman and J. R. Conly and Miss Lucy Cobb in papers of hig-h merit. Mr. Newman gave a very analytic discussion of the Relg-ious side of Henry the Fifth's Character," while Mr. Conly presented a striking- paper en the "General Method of Devel oping Hal's Character." Miss Cobb's subject, "Difference in Method of Epic Drama and Epic Ballad," was very artistically treated by a comparison of Dray ton's. "Battle of Agincourt" with the battle scenes of "Henry V." Dr. Hume's inaugural address -for this session, on "Violations of His tory in Shakespeare and the Dram atic Reasons for Them," was re ceived with marked enthusiasm. After a few remarks on the value to students in all lines of industrial endeavor of the study of Shake speare a writer whose infinite va riety age cannot wither nor custom stale , he very vividly presented a comparison of the true Sir John Oldcastle as portraysd by Tenny son and the burlesqued and distort ed representation given in Falstaff, PARKER FOUNTAIN the master comic figure in all liter ature. -1 The next meeting programme will be connected with the histori cal tragedy of "Richard III." Many students joined the club. It bids fair to have a prosperous year under the able guidance of its dis tinguished pilot, Dr. Hume. ; Pleasant thoughts and good friends belong- to those who use Parker ..... Pens. . " With the Societies. i 1 PHI SOCIETY The query was: "Resolved, that the South Carolina dispensary law is a good one.!' . The affirmative held that it aided Christianity in its efforts to stamp out the evils caused by liquor and that its success in South Carolina proved its beneficence. ! The negative claimed that it is unconstitutional in several of its clauses and that it sets the stamp of governmental approval on drink ing. They said that a dispensary would increase illicit liquor traffic The debate was good and reflect ed credit on the society. The com mittee decided in favor of the affir mative and reported Mr. Ballard as best debater. DI SOCIETY. The query was: "Resolved, that independent action is prefera ble to party allegiance in politics.' The affirmative claimed that pol itics should be purified and that this could only be done by good cit izens showing- their disapproval of party workings by removing them selves from those parties. Men should be governed by the dictation of their conscience rather than by party ties. ' ; The negative held that parties are necessary, and therefore citi zens1 should not withdraw from them. They tend to unite the dif ferent sections of the country, give stability to legislation, and fix re sponsibility. All the great re forms were brought about by par ties.,. The debate Was one of the best ever held in the Society. The committee decided for the negative and that Mr. R. R. Williams made the best speech. ESTABLISAEU 1868. W. B. FARRAR'S SON, . JEWELER.
