Something- ought to be said. We
hardl7 know what that something is
that should be said or how we should
say it. We do know that conditions
demand action. The subject is one
upon which one would much prefer
to remain silent for the sake of the
good name of the student body; but
the unceasing theft of the money
and valuable articles of the students
in the college buildings has passed
the point where passive endurance
is demanded by the proprieties of the
situation. These thefts have gone
on until they have reached a number
scarcely dreamed of by those on the
outside. One struggles against the
idea that a student or students are
concerned in the matter, but one
cannot help feeling that there is
ground for the suspicion. Some
body should take the matter in
charge and see that the malefactor
or malefactors, whoever they be,
are punished. If they are students,
they should be cast out from our
midst in short order.
The naming of a college annual!
Did you ever think what a task that
must be? Unbroken custom and
sacred tradition, don't you know,
demand that no name which has the
slightest meaning- to it shall be
adopted. If it suggests to you
without at least a half hour's re
search the institution from which it
comes, it is a dead failure as a
name. It simply won't do at all.
Here for instance are a few names
chosen at random: North Carolina,
Yackety Yack (sounds all right to
us.of course); A. and M., Agromeck;
Leland Stanford, Quad; Tulane;
Jambalaya; West Virginia, Monti-
cola; Western University of West
Virginia, Murmurmontis; Syracuse,
Onondagan; Ohio State, Makio
and soon, not ad infinitum perhaps,
but at least ad finem.
Moral? We're not pointing a
moral. We're simply at our old
game of looking on and wondering
at the things which happen "as the
busy world spins 'round" (with
apologies to Col. Fair brother for in
fringement of his copyright).
Our exchanges for the past weeks
have been bringing to us as from
afar off the echoes of examinations.
One can see as he reads, the crowd
ed examination room, the blinded
student feverishly racking his brain
for a forgotten date or an unremem
bered formula; the days of "spot
ting" and the nights of "cram
ming.

SAYS
More institutions than one on the
outside would suppose have their
examinations not at the end of the
term just preceding Christmas, but
in the latter part of January or the
first of February. The reason for
this is not quite clear, the only per
ceptible effect being to prolong the
agcny, and to cast, in some cases, a
foreshadowing gloom over the holi
days. But the best part of our lot
is that they are having them and we
are through with tiem. One pa
per, recently established, and which
has got out five issues pats itself on
the back, saying, "Thus far, we
have not missed an issue."
Others can take them when they
wish, but as for us, we'll take 'em
the same old time and in the same
old way.
In the faculty room of the Alumni
building is a table and in the table
is a drawer. This drawer is known
as the press drawer and an ancient
myth has it that news items are
dropped in it from time to time for
the benefit of local newspaper men.
The writer has heard this myth and
has often pulled open the drawer
when in search of news onty.how
ever, to gaze into empty vacancy.
The purpose for which it was in
stituted was that persons who
happened to have rather exclusive
possession of a bit of news might
impart it to others. For instance,
if a professor is invited away to de
liver a lecture, this is a mtter of
general interest, but it is quite often
the case that his going and coming
is unknown to ariy one save himself.
The purpose of this article is to
urge a more extensive use of the
press drawer. If one's innate mod
esty (and this is often the case)
causes him to hesitate in such a
matter, he can steel his nerves with
the reflection that "the others do it."
It is but just to himself as well as
to the University that his work
should be made public.
The V. P. I. ' Tech in announc
ing that an event is to take place
"tonight" adds pareuthetically"We
are writing on the supposition that
the ' lech appears Friday."
Judging from the doubts which
appear to lurk in the editor's mind
there must be either a stringency in
the copy department or a strike on
in the ' Tech print shop.
The Tar Heel is far too modest
to boast, but we don't mind saying
that the latter cause will never
bother its head. It has never had
a strike to contend with, but the
members of the board, on more than
one occasion, have had opportunity
to show that they can do something
besides merely reeling off copy and
have proved equal to the emergency
So if the paper should ever fail to
show up on Thursday morning its
readers can rest assured that it will
be because there is no press in any
reasonable distance to print it. It
wouldn't wait an hour for a speech

would have to be three sides to the
question, an affirmative, a negative
