Tennis has not received a square deal at the University. It is the sole branch of athletics in which discouragement has been offered to the player instead of encourage ment. Even the man who o;oes into the grym and works faith full' to master two or three dozen' tricks, or the man who goes out on the track and runs around it a few times, provided he run fast enough, re ceives the reward of an N. C,, but the tennis-player has neither decent courts to practice upon nor an N. C. as a reward. The objection to offering- a tennis N. C. has been made that the ten nis players have not shown an in terest worthy of such honor. In comparison with tennis there was absolutely no interest in g-ymna-sium team work when the g-ymna-si urn team was given a trainer and offered the N . C . ; i n com parison with tennis the interest taken in track athletics is small, yet the track team' has had both training and reward for some years. Then was no interest evinced in the liter ary life of. the college, still the Odd J Number Club was organized to stimulate interest, and has succeed ed. Very little attention was paid to scholarship before the ad vent of the Phi Beta Kappa. Ten nis it seems is an exception. It is not an athletic sport and no rules work when applied to it. We do not believe that tennis monograms should be given, indis criminately. .We suggest that the tennis N. C. be offered and a standard of excellence be set as in the case of the gymnasium and track teams. There has been no earnest self-denying- training for the tennis team in the past, ; it is true, but give this impetus and watch the change. It is only just that tennis be recognized in the list of college athletics, ard that the tennis player have his reward in view as much as the track or gym nasium candidate. get started wrong between the ag;es of twelve and fifteen merely through losing interest in the things at which they are forced to stick against their will. Later, when too old to control, they are free but aimless. If these boys could be taken in hand early enough and giv en manual, training- in the lines best suited to them, many a reform ing in later life would, be rendered unnecessary. Could the reformatory accomplish this it would be a good thing. Ope ning on each of the landings of the stairways in the older build ings on the campus, the Old East, South, and Old West, are Windows. In almost ever' instance these wiur dows are situated almost immediate ly at the foot of a steep flight of steps, and are larg-e enough to admit with ease the passage of the body of a grown man. Strips of timber were once nailed accross these window-frames to prevent' the chance of anyone's falling through but these have been torn away, through vandalism, perhaps. Neverthe less they should be replaced in order to avoid even the possibility of an ac cident that might result in the loss of the life of a student. Why should Carolina not support a dramatic club? Nearly all of the larger colleges and universities support such, org-anizations, which are productive of much entertain ment, and pay financially as well. The theatricals presented by such college clubs are in great demand in the cities of the sections throug-h which the colleges are known. At Carolina the preparation for and presentation of the plays would be especiall' valuable in serving to break the monotony of the winter months. There is plenty of good material, too, for amateur theatri cals on the Hill.- All that it needs is development. THE proposition of instituting- a state reformatory is well , worth considering. While we are not in favor of raising any boy in a jail, a certain amount of restraint in youth mig-ht save, many men from jail later on. Many boys not inherent ly vicious, but simply full of life, The Charlotte Observer hopes that the Legislature will spare lemonade, Epsom salts, and lithia water for a year or so yet. We hope they will likewise refrain from tabooing bromo-seltzer. Yes, the ground-hog- saw his shadow, all right indeed we are almost inclined to believe that he saw double. The Rhodes Scholars. G. R. Parkin, secretary of the Rhodes Trust, says that there are more students from the United States at Oxford under the Rhodes scholarship than from any other nation. Of the 171 Rhodes scholars in residence at Oxford, 79 are from the United States, 71 from the Brit ish Colonies, and 11, from Ger many. . More Amusements. . The Y. M. C.
