We 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. As warm weather draws nigh and the crack of the base-ball bat is heard in the land, we suppose it will soon be time for the track team to commence warming" up. We trust that every student realizes what an opportunity we have to make a name for ourselves in track athletics this spring. Besides our annual meet with Virginia, we have been invited to take part in Penn's Field Day. If we cau make a cred itable showing against the big col leges we will go up again t them, it will mean a great deal for Carolina. We have excellent material for a first-class team and we hope that those who have had experience in track work will not hang back nor any others who desire to heap glory on. themselves, .-and the White and Blue. We - have--an opportunity; let us make the most of it. "One reason that the writer is fond of Dr. C. Alphonso Smith is that he is like folks and he can turn from literature and play the banjo like a farm hand. Most other men of his attainment smack of the can talk shop. Oh, this weary self importance that makes the individ ual and the world so uninteresting." Dr. Smith again comes in for mention in Mr. Avery's Comment Column. Meantime our curiosity is becom ing immensely excited. There are very few of us who have had the pleasure of hearing our . honored professor perform on the banjo that peculiarly American instru ment. If the Musical Association gives an entertainment this year, we suggest, that the college make a unanimous request that Dr. Smith appear with his banjo and render a few selections. We are sure that the entire University will not rest easy till it hears Dr. Smith play sthat banjo. Charlotte boys who were Uni versity students noticed that Mr. Thomas Hill led tue annual Febru ary german at the University Fri day and were reminded of the singu lar talents of that young gentleman. Mr. Hill is a cosmopolite from Hills boro. Last June he worked his way over to Europe in a cattle ship, and met a man named Montana Bill, who used to catch cattle by the horns and throw them down just for the fun of the thing. Mr. Hill saw Europe on $150, and discovered that ladies in Paris are cultivating a mustache. Afterwards he and Montana Bill returned to America, and Mr. Hill went back to the Uni versity, where he is universally be loved. No point is made in the story, except that Mr. Hill is se lected as an example for enterprise; and it isn't every day that one looks upon a man who leads a University german in work hours and frater nizes with Montana Bills and cattle during his holiday. It is not even singular that the men who can fore gather with Montana Bill and Mon tezuma Joes do not get the buck fever at the sight of a dress suit. Mr. Hill may return to his native town and go to sleep or he may be President, as he ought to be; but, he is a good sort of a spirit at the Uni versityhe and his instructor, Dr. C. Alphonso Smith, who clings to the banjo and a few words that aren't of the cult of isms. I. E. Avery in Charlotte Observer. Well, Mr. Thomas Hill, '05, has attained immortality at last. We have been wondering for some time where he would break out next, but not once did we suspect that it weuld be in Mr. Avery's Variety of Idle Comment. Dr. Alphonso Smith has already his name and fame spread through the land by The Comment Man as the professor who is "just like folks"; and now Tom Hill comes in for remark. Well, Thomas deserves that his name be made famous, we think. That is just what makes him "universally beloved" he is equally ready to lead a University german or' frater nize with Montana Bill.,K Then; is no trace of snobbery about your friend Mr. Hill. He is probably a good type ot University students bold, adventurous, generous, open -t hearted and he doesn't -let his stud ies interfere with his college educa tion. ' ': f :' Though Mr. Avery has hit upon two good points about the Univer sity in Dr. Smith and Mr. Hill, there are many other things around the Hill with which he is not ac quainted and something is missing out of his life on that account. He has never seen Brown, who has been to South Africa and had many I hair-breadth 'scapes. He has never been to Durham with the Brothers Bruti, as they sallied forth accom panied by Mallison, their valet, and a couple of white waistcoats. He has probably heard what Dr. Vena ble calls "the dulcet notes" of Dr. Smith, but he has never the fervid eloquence of the departed Redfern,' nor was he present at the immortal lecture of Squire Patton on Short hand; Squire alone would give him enough material to write several columns on. He has never heard the Presbyterian choir or seen Robins and Dameron as they reached way down in their in'ards for a real heavy, low note. He has never seen Bully Jones dressing to go calling, or Newton take a look at the rib- jbons fluttering on the side lines. idraw a deep breath and make 17 yards through a tangled mass of humanity on the gridiron. i We could go on thus indefinitely, but these instances are enough to show how much Mr. Avery has missed. No, Mr. Hill and Dr. Smith are a large section of Uni versity life, but they are not all. EPSTEIN BROS. Clothiers of Gpldsboro, N. C. They will be on the Hill about Feb ruary 15, 1904.
