A very timely article appears in
the knocker's column of this week's
Tar Heel in regard to the shoot
ing of birds on the campus. It has
come to be no uncommon thing of
late to find the body of a bird, torn
by a bullet from a Flobert rifle, on
any part of the University grounds.
It would be bad enough if these
birds were only sparrows, but as
it happens they are for ,the most
part bluebirds. Only the rarer and
more useful birds seem to attract
the attention of those who are pos
sessed with an ungovernable desire
to kill something.
We are glad to say that most of
this shooting has been done by
town boys, but some of it has . been
done, neverthless, by students.
Now this crime should be commit
ted neither by students nor residents
of the village, if for no other reason
than that it is against the law of
the state of North Carolina to
hunt either on the campus or in
Battle's Park. That reason should
be sufficient. University students
should see that they keep the laws
of the State and that these laws are
respected by others. However
laws should not be neccessary to
force the students of the leading
educational institution of the State
into making out of their grounds an
asylum for birds and animals. Ne
groes, small boys, ignorant per
sons everywhere harry the lives of
these wild creatures until their ex
istence becomes a continual hiding.
We college men should be a round
pr two higher up the ladder of de
velopment. But we are not suffering from
any Sunday school sentimentalism
on the subject of birds not by any
means. Birds are both useful and
beautiful. Without them the trees
on our campus might be destroyed
entirely, and even if they r were not
they would be robbed of much of
the attractiveness which the pres
ence of the birds gives them. Vis
itors to the University are always
. struck by the number and variety
of birds around Chapel Hill. That
is because they have been protected
here in the past. The hard .freeze
of last winter d;d much to lessen
their numbers, and unless the
wholesale depletion that is now1
going on be stopped, birds will
soon be as scarce here as elsewhere.
" Well I guess j a man's got a
right to shoot a jaybird anywhere"
we were told the other day. No,
we don't agree with that either.
The jaybird may be pretty noisy
and, as we put it in college par
' lance, more or less "fresh," but he
no doubt does his part by the world
a great deal better than the man
who seeks to prey upon him. We
must confess that personally we
are prone to have a soft place in
our heart for the jaybird simply
ou account of his pure downright
"cussedness," anyway.
We hope that this shooting will
i have a summary stop put to it by
i the student body, for it is a very
poor recommendation for a body
of college students that they will
permit a wanton slaughter of birds
upon the grounds of their Univer
sity. .
The result of the Pennsylvania
game is merely another illustration
of ihe fact that you never can tell
what is g6ing to happen in football.
There were those who expected
Pennsylvania to double her score of
last year; even the most conservative
thought that she would at least
equal it. Instead our light team
held the figures down to 11 points.
That's not a bad score; it's a credit
when it's against such a heavy team
as Pennsy.'s.
All of which is only a proof of
the fact that our team have the pro
per stuff in them, if they are light.
The men who have been spending
much of their time in knocking them
for the past week or so would
show themselves much worthier
University men if they would get
out on the side lines every after
noon and give voice to a few good
yells. That's what the team needs
encouragement. They are light
and inexperienced but they have
worked hard since the Davidson
game, and the fruits of their labor
are shown in the Pennsylvania
score. They will keep right on
digging too, and, if we only stick
behind them, the end of the season
will find them winners. Especially
should we show our support tomor
row. The A. and M. team plays
Richmond College today. Prom
our score tomorrow then the Far
mers will draw some conclusions.
We must give them something to
think about. Let's go out and
boost up the team, encourage them
"to go on and get some more touchdowns."
The Tar Heel, takes this oppor
tunity of urging every student in
the University to remain on the
Hill to-morrow University Day.
The primary object of the exercises
is to present to the guests of the
University the student body as a
whole. , ilt is, in a way, the duty of
every man connected with the Uni
versity, therefore, to remain and
play his part, no matter how small
it be, in the exercises of the day.
Let us make the very b;st impres
sion that we can on our visitors.

The Philological Club Meets.
The Philological Club held its
first meeting for the year last Fri
day afternoon for the purpose of
electing officers. Dr. J. D. Bruner
was made president and Mr. W. S.
Bernard vice-president. Dr. L. R.
Wilson, the secretary and treasurer
for last year was made permanent
seretary and treasurer.
The Philological Club has decid
ed to publish semi-annually a jour
nal containing the work done along
philological lines by its members.
The first copy of this journal,
Studies in Philology, volume I,
Chaucer's Relative Constructions,
by Dr. L. R. Wilson, was publish
ed last June by the University
Press.
The Musical Association.
In the musical department every
thing points to a successful year.
All of the members of the band are
back on the Hill except Goslen.
His playing will be missed, of
course, but there are several cornet
players who are already; applicants
for his place, and all of them are
showing up well. Mr. Woollen
reports better material and more of
it for both band and orchestra than
he has ever had before. ,
The glee club is , not in such good
shape. Burwell, the two Craw
fords and Rose have all failed to
return this year. However there
should be enough of good voices
among the new men to make up for
the loss of these and to get out as
good a glee club as wehad last year.
