For several years the number of birds on the campus has been increasing-. Blue birds have be come plentiful and. they add much to the charm of our i surroundings by their constant cheerfulness. The open fields back of the Carr Building- and Davie Hall have become the favorite abode of a number of field larks. How much charm it adds to'those old fields to see some score of larks gracefully sailing- about and how pleasing to lis ten to there twittering these cold days! And then in the spring when th weather shall turn warm again and the crystal, balmy air shall call one out at six or seven in the morning, what can more remind one of those happy days at home than to hear some old field lark whistling his clear "Laziness will kill you?" But we bid fair to lose all our friends. For some days past we have noticed some one with a gun, behind the Zoology laboratory shooting at the birds. To hunt is one of the finest of sports. But to take a gun and slip up behind one of these trustful birds on the cam pus and take a pot shot at him is what? We'll not try to name it. But if the man who did the shooting shall hap pen to read this we hope he will look at his deed in other light. In our last issue we published a let terof complaint from one of the student: at the University who find trouble in securing a bath . As he stated there are not. more than a dozen baths in college in good running order. Eight of these are in the gym where one can only get to them during a certain part of the day. There are here at least seven hundred and fifty-one men who want a bath at least once a Week If each man would choose a certain time a week to take his bath and one man was to step "under the shower just as another stepped out then wt might possibly all get a good bath once a week. But unfortunately most of us fee! that we must have our bath Saturday evening or not at all, or, at least, that we cannot possibly consider taking a bath before 4:30 Not know ing how the manager of these affairs is fixed we do not know whether it is possible to remedy these conditions. One thing is certain. We must have baths. Lectures are given before the students in chapel on the benefits of cleanliness and the evil results of slo venliness in the matter of bathing. The students want to keep clean. They must have the opportunitj. Mitch interest has been taken this fall in the inter-class tennis series. Tins will give an incalcuable impetus '.o-tennis on our courts. Only oue thing mars the beauty of it all. Time after time when a close match has b;en in progress we have heard cc.tain remarks that were cast ;il the players in a way of jeers. Tliis has been done generally by a certain kind of laugh. More, criticism and contempt can be expressed in a laugh than. in a hoot. So far as we know none of the players have been bothered by these sneers. But they show4that the man who makes them is viewing the situation from a wrong point of view. When any one does such a thing on the football or base ball field the condemnation of student sentiment is swift and certain. It will be well to remember that those men on the tenuis courts afe doing the same thing those men on the ten nis courts are. They are doing what they can to develop themselves into the best players possible, that they may earn distinction for their alma mater in the realm of tennis. Often there come freshmen here who play on our baseball team or pur foot ball team. It does not happen once in ten years that a freshman conies here and makes a place on our tennis team. We develop our own representatives. How important then the work of this class series. Don't do any thing to discourage those men. They are ex erting themselves to the utmost to make themselves tennis players worthy to represent North Carolina. Every unkind laugh cuts a bleeding:, wound in the growing prominence of theUni versity of North Carolina as a predom inant leader in tennis. You are neith er doing yourself credit nor your Uni versity justice when you throw the slightest stumbling block in the path of one that is doing what you your self have not the energy to undertake Whiting Brothers RALEIGH, N.

This year the Yacke ty Yack board have determined to head the list. But the students have got to do a great deal in the way of help Every one can help financially by sub scribing for a copy or mote. The cost is not much and it' will al ways be a matter of pride to you to point to the book and speak with pride of how North Carolina led the colleges of the country in the beauty and value of her annual publication. Then there is another way in which the stu dents must help get out this Yackety Yack. Last year the annual might have been first had its literary value been comparable to its appearance. That was because the editing of it was left entirely to the board. The board is doubtless composed of the best men in college for the work but they cannot be so broad-minded as to give to the publication the flavor of the whole student body.
