If you are unconvinced there are testimonials to that effect Nothing more is needed in com ments upon this issue than to say it is the Y. M. C. A's. In the January number of the University Magazine there is an article, or rather an argument in favor of some additions to our board trustees. It is proposed that each senior class elect one of its members to serve as a trustee for the custom ary eight years. It is not our inten tion to review the argument, but to say that it sounds good, and looks good to us. It seems to us that there is need for men among the trustees who are in closer touch with the student body. It is not an attempt at radi cal reform, but a good addition to a good thing. The number of trustees should contain men who not only are interested in the University, but men who know it. Some of these men should know it as it had been for the past few years. The view point of the student should be represented and his opinions aired along with those of the faculty and other trustees. Something was once said about the safety that was found in a multitude of counsellors, or councillors, or both. It is reasona ble to believe that the newly-fledged graduate would be more in touch with student condititions than the older trustees. If he is in clined to reform things, there are sufficient old heads to reform him first. Herein lies the safety. If it is safe, sane, and conservative as we think it is there's little use in saying anything else. In fact we ex pect no opposition. In our opinion we have a large share of a common failing here on the Hill. We are too ready to impute im pure motives to those about us. This even extends to criticizing the action of men selected by us for a purpose. When we select a body of men, how ever large or small, to transact some business that we, as a student body, cannot transact we should select men whom we trust. If we do not trust them, why select them? After they have done their best to do what we se lected them for, it looks kiddish to ac cuse them of having acted from impure motives beaause we think that we see some flaw in their work. None of us but would resent such imputation if we were its object, so let's refrain from such. To us this noise recently made sounds like hog-killing time. If the mistake is one of hearing, we apolo gize, but we think that alter a lue- time acquaintance with hogs we know a squeal when we hear one. This is straight talk, but it is so in tended. We are not in a squealing humor ourselves, and don't mind say ing so. lo those accustomed to plain English our meaining is clear, and un til convinced of a mistake the word is squealing. That is the only word in our vocabulary for the noise emitted by one who will not stand by the results of his own actions. If anyone dislikes the word let him find a better! If any one whom the description fits should care to correct this fault, our advice to him, and others similarily afflicted is: "Digest the Ego!" What need of ana lyzing other men's motives when our own are none too well in hand? Care is needed to keep us all from becoming as sounding brass. j I II (J I At the mass meeting Friday night a fair beginning was made toward se curing a trainer, but there should be no let up until his coming is assured. The student body has not been called upon for some time. It should re spond eagerly now, since the object is to benefit every member of the student on the front seat to aid the driver, and break-skull. Commencement Managers Elected The faculty committee elected by the senior class consisting of Pro fessors Williams, Stacy, and Gra ham, selected the student committee which nominates the men to be voted on for commencement ball managers. This committee of stu dents was composed of Messrs. P. P. Graham, F. E. Winslow. Mon roe Gaddy, A. H. Wolf, and D. B. Teague. It nominated ten seniors, and six Juniors out of which five seniors were to be elected. Tae election took place Friday. The voting precinct was the Bur sar's office. The ballot box which had formerly held Cincos was fast ened up and had a very small slit for depositing the decisions of seniors and those who wanted five dollars worth of Commencement Voting began at nine A. M. and finally wore itself out while the day was yet young. Messrs. Manning, Robinson, McRae, McNeil, and Masten were the seniors, and Sloan, and Venable the juniors elected, The managers in turn selected Manning as Chief Ball Manager. m W 1: Have you noticed that all the college men are smoking V TURKISH 3 CIGARETTTEoS U To have become so popular among college men without any special ef fort to make them known shows that Fatima Cigarettes deserve the success they are making. , Smoke a few, and you'll know why Fatinias have made such a hit 20 for 15c NEW ARRIVALS IN Hats STIFF, - SOFT, - OUNCE Shirts DRESS.WHITE NEGLIGEE .FANCY Ties BOWS, FOUR-IN-HAND, DRSS Half Hose BLACK, TAN, - FANCY Small Profits Quick Sales.

Whitaker is in Watts Hospital, Durham, seriously injured, and R. M. Vanstory is in the infirm ary with a bruised knee. Whitaker was thrown heavily in trying to get body.
