Carolina In Debate. ; , ; Now that the football season is over it mig-ht be well to direct the atten tion of thje University to two contests of vital import that are drawing on.' Carolina meets Georgia and Vander bilt in the arena of debate early next Spring; the Georgians fighting on their home ground at Athens and the Tennesseeans coming here. Both are smarting under., defeat at our hands and will put out their ablest men. This University must sustain its past by winning both debates. If we are in earnest about this, we must support, assist and encourage our debaters by every means in our power. We must get behind the team just as in our ath letics. Debate is the highest form of intellectual athletics,: and the debaters an educational institution puts out to stand for it in an intercollegiate and inter-State contest are supposed to represent the brain force that is in it. Shouldn't this college stand like one man behind the team that represents it in a trial of that kind of strength? The student body has not yet real ized the full significance of these de bates in the life of the institution The intelligence of the State knows of them, is interested in them, and re gards them as one of the best crite' rions by which to judge of the mental training given here. . The lawyer, the physician, the minister all the silent, ' thinkiug forces know and care about the stand the University takes in her intercollegiate debates. Many to whom an athletic victory means little have become enthused over the laurels the University has won for itself and the State upon the rostrum. ; ' This spirit is growing outside the University; let it grow yet more rapid ly within Let all debating be warm' ly encouraged by the unanimous senti ment of the college. When an inter- society contest is held, let everybody turn out. What kind of 'Varsity would we have without encouraging and developing 'scrubs?'t Let us have a University spirit that will enthuse over debate. The Georgetown Game. There is vindication, as well as ret ribution, in history. This time it came quickly, for five days after her defeat at the hands of Virginia, Caro lina took the sting out of that defeat. We have have tied the college that won over Virginia and had the best claim to the Southern championship. T If wo haven't won the championship ourselves, we last Thursday debarred ! any other from making L rational; claim to that primacy, ijis just as well to be honest and admil that the splendid record .of the teamon its last trip surprised, almost as ipiuch as it delighted most of us. A word needs to be said, though it is neither easy nor pleasant to say it, and the short-sighted wdild either, gloss the matter over or ! mention it not at all. It is quite tru : that re cently in the hour when t le football team was bearing the burde 1 of defeat and cast down by what was even more a calamity- to it than to t le college, and stood most in need of syn pathy and encouragement, many of tiose who should have strongly stood behind it, turned their faces from it in disap proval and even often in disgust. This thing must never occuij again; it is positively wrong and unjust. The greatest, the bravest and truest man is he who draws ever closer to his friend as the clouds of adversity gath er about him. A fair-weather friend isn'; a friend at all; and a college spir it that flags and almost fails in sup port of the institution's representa tives when calamity comes is a not in apt parallel. We must cultivate such a spirit that the men who fight for us in athletics and in debate, may- never be hurt to the quick because of unsym pathetic hearts and stony faces in their day of defeat. They ought un der all circumstances to feel: the beat ing of sympathetic hearts near and the strong arms underneath. o The football team had the stuff in it that made it greatest in defeat. It came back from Norfolk and went to work to win in Washington. : It worked with grim, dogged, invincible determination in the face of a college which looked on, most with apathy, some with disgust, a few faithful ones with sympathy. In Washington they made the manfullest fight ever seen on the gridiron there. The football team ought to be remembered in the history of the University as the team that wouldn't stay beat, the team that went from a bad defeat straight to a glorious success. r As we stand at. the close of : the sea son of 1900, and ; look back upon our tootoan record, me retrospect is pleasing. We didn't beat Virginia, but we tied a greater, for while Vir ginia has slain her thousands, George town has slain her tens of thousands, Virginia among the number. Let us rejoice and be both glad and proud. We have fought a good fight and are well entitled, athletically speaking, to hibernate for a while and enjoy pleas ant dreams. Our Next Lecturer. Mr. John Fox, Jr., who lectures here Thursday night by special ar rangement between the" University and the literary societies, is equally delightful as writer and lecturer. He has thrown all the glamour of romance over the hills, valleys aud streams of "Old Kentuck," as Daniel Boone called it. Everyone who cares for culture and pleasure should hear him. Mr. Jane Lane Allen says of him: "His stories have bee u widely and wisely accepted as among- the most virile, original, and variously effective pieces of literary a.t that have come from the living writers oc. tlu Sach ; his delightful reading from these in New York City, Brooklyn, Washing ton, and elsewhere have only deepened the impression of their humor and tragic intensity; while his unique lec ture on the Cumberland mountaineer, where heard, has still further added to their value by placing behind them the background of historic reality up on which they are projected, and by inspiring confidence in the author of them as a clear and indefatigable stu dent of life."

When the college assembles for any purpose, the behavior of many of the students is unworthy of the kindergarten, much less of the Uni versity, Shuffling of feet, stamping like wild things, caterwauling, and calling for speeches by students are common, and sometimes Bedlam breaks loose. How long is this sort of thing, disgraceful to the institu tion as it is, going to last? Where is that gentle breeding of which our people are wont to boast? Visitors to the University have gone away dis gusted at the ill-mannered conduct of students in the mass. It is true that there are extenuating circumstances. We are indeed far removed from "the culture and refinement of the prov ince." But let us not on that account degenerate into barbarism. There are enough students with a sense of propriety to put a stop to public row dyism. By all means let them exert their influence to stop a disgrace that cries to heaven to be stopped. WAR! WAR!
