I. game Saturday has been the most remark able occurance we have ever known. Generally when a team suffers defeat the confidence of the students behind the team is shaken to a greater or less extent. All during the progress of the V. P. I. game Saturkay, even wnen v . jf . i. was running up the score so quickly in the first of the second half, the satisfaction of the crowd was always dominant. We had hoped to conquer V. P. I. it is true but we had not known that they had a man on their team capable of kick ing the ball elShty-toref yaras. We played better football than our oppon ents except in l..is respect. They made five first downs and scored fif- tsen points we made twelve first downs and could not score. Our boys did all we could expect of them. They outplayed tneir opponents as tar as physical ability and gritty stamina carry them. No ones blames them at all for the loss of the game. We put the blame where it betongs, on V. P. I.'s punter. As is always the case however Saturday's game showed where we still bve room for imdrove ment. It seems that the team was slow in getting off. There was no lack of ginger after we once got start- ed but we were slow in getting under way. Everc man in college has figu red out the situation we are in in re gard to the Washington and Lee game in Newport News. We have tied that bunch for two successive years. Last year we qite evidently outplayed them but we could not score. This year we don't want any such result. We want to outylay tderri but we want to win too. '' ;The alumni of the University, scat tered as they are, are always, we be- 1 heve, deeply interested in the affairs of their alma mater. The alumni as sociations bear witness to this fact. 'However, as a general rule they do not I keep in close enough touch with what ( is! actually going on at the university to help, their alma mater tackle the questions that confront her. We be lieve that if the alumni would keep in closer touch with us here they could be of inestimable value to us. They have been out in life for many years, some of them, and have had experience in solving all sorts of questions. We have important questions always com ing up for solution. If we had the ex perienced heads of our alumni to sug gest to and advise us at these times we believe that we could do so many things better than we are doing them aiid do them more satisfactory to all concerned. This university of ours is of the state. The state must necessa rily be interested in her welfare. The alumni are more liable to look at af fairs of the university more from the view point of the people out in the state than we are. So they can advise us to our advantage in many ways. In some way the alumni ought to get in closer communication with the university. Fancy Groceries and Tobaccos, Fruits, and Confectioneries CAFE IN CONNECTION als at All Hours Eat All You Want The growth of the $100 swindle from the thoughtless raffle of a tennis racquet has been the mushroom growth that has sprung up in a night for the decaying morality of the student body. 1 his way of paying anywhere from one cent to two dollars for a chance to win $50 or $100 is a worse form of gambling than poker can ever degen erate into. College opinion has pretty well stamped out poker simply because it is a game of 'chance. It is high time everybody was putting their foot upon this still more degrading gamb ler s trick. If some of the men here want to- throw their money away -we give every one credit for knowing that the scheme is a skin game in which the promoters are sure to come out with the lion's share of the spoils they might throw it away in some oth er way. That the whole thing is a swindle is evident from the fact that As far as the students have been concerned the chapel exercises have been a distinct success. Their attend ance has been more regular, we believe, than ever before. But Friday morning there was a screw loose evidently. All the students werft all there. The speaker was there. But "where, Oh! where the faculty?" A whole long row of chairs in a conspicuous place on the rostrumj The principle involved in placing these chairs thus is that the faculty may furnish an example for the students. Friday morning only three members of the faculty Were present. They did their best, no doubt, to fill that long line of empty chairs. But, as was to be expected, three men were hopelessly inadequate when it came to filling fifteen chairs. Those empty chairs were quite as impressive as the faculty themselves would have been. It wont take many such impres sions to make the print indelible. Let the faculty go up or the chairs come down. 1 decent stuck their heads from their windows the other morning and yelled EuDSitiRS Dfttg Coffipam at some passing ladies. There's the . - case; jeering at ladies in chapel, hoot- Prescription . ing at ladies at University Inn, yelling Specialists, at ladies from the Old West Building. The defendants are unfit to come into CHAPEL HILL - NORTH CAROLINA court. The appearance of ladies on " the campus has already become a rare occurance. We wonder why they come not oftener. Yet when one dares to enter the grounds of the Uni vprsi tv enclosure she is insulted. Some j most unprincipled of men are blight- ; ing the University as the blacking y( e crowd and gamblers could never have done. It was to be expected that out - - of eight hundred men in the hot blood of their youth a few would seek some form of excitement but we had thought that eight hundred southern men, g-athered from everv spot in the land, would have held a lady's presence' more-sacred than and shrine could be. But here in the midst of a student! body supposedly composed of the very) pick of Southern'chivalry there is lhatjTjp element which insults a lady even most I IIL publicly and openly. Already condi tions are such here that one will not bring upon the campus a lady of one's acquanintence. It is up to the student consciousness of moral cleanliness to rectify this rotten condition by some caustic action. The council can hard- y handle the case, the faculty would seem less adequate. The student con sciousness is the only source of aid- but we are about to forget one sover eign remedy, we cordially recom mend to the next man who is with ady insulted that he be carclul to pick out at least one of the insulters and the next chance he gets simply wallop him. Don't let the beating- be a gentle reminder, let it be a lesson mat win indelibly De stamped upon the memory of the offender. Strin gent deseases demand stringent' cures The quicker we are in blotting ou this curse by the most virile punish ment the sooner will the students be able to hold up their heads in the presence of a lad v. UNIVERSinf o Y S Those who sat in the gallery Satur day night or who were at the Universi ty Inn Sunday morning and jeered and hooted at those who were accompanied by ladies would poison a yellow cur if one should bite them. We don't say that they are the dirtiest, the coward liest scum of bilge water that the Uni versity has been befouled with for fear that we should be "shipped" for men tioning the University in even the slighest connection with their names. To think that here, where we feel so proud of our honor system and brag so much about the clean morality of the students, that at this place whence North Carolina is expecting her future rulers there should be an element to to who the principles of decency are unintelligible and the conduct of a gentleman unrecognizable.
