The editoks of The Tar Heel enter
upon their duties this year with no
feeling- of confidence or assurance, but
are rather oppressed with the sense of
the grave responsibilities which these
duties entail, and their inability to
measure up to the demands of these
responsibilities. What problems the
year has in store for us we cannot
even conjecture, but only entertain the
hope that they do not far exceed our
powers. The readers of The Tar
Heel need not expect from us the bril
liant outbreaks of Stephenson, or the
literary couchings of Mills, or the vir
ile style of Gunter, but- only ordinary
things in an ordinary manner. It is
our intention, however, to do our best
(even though that be ordinary) and to
prove ourselves in some degree worthy
of the trust reposed in us. We desire
the assistance and encouragement of
every student in college, for, without
the assistance and encouragement of
the students, we have failed already.
Again we say that we will try to do
our best, and if we fail to measure up
to the high standard of our predeces
sors, lay the failure to the blame of
the head, not of the heart. -
To the new students we extend our
cordial greetings. The University
life, of which they have heard so
much and known so little, is now be
fore them. Already perhaps their
short acquaintance with it has disil
lusioned them of some of its halos.
The historic walls are made of com
mon brick and the classic shades are
ordinary shadows. This disillusion
has not come without a tinge of sad
ness but we trust that with it is com
ing the realization that University life
is none the less worth while. The ap
preciation of its full worth comes with
the months and the years. The sad
ness of the disenchantment gives place
to a love of its realities that is both
deep and lasting.
The Athletic Association, according
to the constitution adopted last year,
has for its primary purpose the effi
cient management of University ath
letics. -Every student in the Universi
ty should have a part in the manage
ment of athletics, and consequently
every student should be a member of
the Athletic Association. Member
ship in the Association has for. its ba
sis a one dollar fee By joining the
Association- a student helps tomanage
athletics ahd at the same time contrib
utes to its financial support. The
Athletic Association is simply the or
ganized expression of college patriot
ism and spirit; and as such should
have the support of every student in
the University.
Thk football season is on. Our
prospects are the brightest since 1905.
Sixty candidates have reported for
duty. Four elevens are in practice
every afternoon. With an able coach,
an experienced captain, efficient mana
gers, and determined candidates, the
football season of 1908 bids fair to be
triumphant for the White and Blue.
The Tar Heei. was sent to every
student in college this week. The
price is one dollar and a half a'year.

The Outlook for Football
(Continued from first page)
-
Hanes, Pinnix, Rhodes, Rawlings,
Williams', McLean and Ritch. The
most promising looking new men are
as follows: Small and Lambeth, ends.
Norwood and Coleman,', tackles; Iseley,
guard; Morrison, center; Barker,
Schimpf and Jones, quarter-back;
Watington, Ray and", Hedgpeth,
backfield. There are several others
out who are playing hard, and they
will probably be heard from later.
Class Teams Will Begin Work at
Once.
Mr. W.' P. Jacocks, "04, four years
a member of the- 'Varsity football
team, All-Southern quarter-back,
and an all-round athlete, has been
made Class Athletic Director. He
wishes all candidates for the differ
ent class teams to report on the
new class athletic field, so that he
can beg-in to acquaint them with
the principles of football. It is
especially desirable that all the
big-, .husky Freshmen, who are not
trying- for the 'Varsity, come out
for their class teams. Heretofore
the freshman team has each year
sent several good men to the 'Var
sity and scrub elevens, and, in fact,
is looked upon as a stepping- stone
to the 'Varsity. A little later
when the class managers and cap
tains have been elected a schedule
of g-ames will be arrang-ed for the
inter-class championship contest.
