county. All tlic county alumni and
. any from other 1 places who may be here

day. night's 'banquet.
Similar celebrations will be held
throughout the United states and in
any foreign country where two or three
are gathered together who name the
name of Carolina as their alma mater
The samedate has been chosen by the
Sj:ate Normal- College, as Founder's
day and the manner of its ..observance
will be somewhat like unto that of the
University's Sons.
Erom the Durham Herald:
The University alumni of this city
have planned for University Day, Oct
12, a smoker, at which Dr. Edwin
Mims has been asked to deliver the ad
dress. : ' .....'.
Judge Crawford Biggs, president of
the association is not in the city and
Cannot be for that occasion,? but the
celebration is in the hands of a com
mittee composed of Messrs. R. H.
Sykes, Julian S. Carr, Jr., S. C. Cham
bers and R. O. Everett and they are
going to make it notable.
The address of Dr. Mims will be
easily the feature of all of those tak
ing place on such an occasion here
An active member of the faculty of
the University less than a month, he
s nevertheless iust as f enthusiastic as
lie was at Trinity, where he was nick
named "Enthusiasm"by his bretheren.
jNobody says more when he talks and
there will be something decidedly Uni
que in his making an address to the
alumni on that date. T "
The alumni will gather in the Com
monwealtli Club and there are upward
of severity .young and old men to take
part in it. The association has long
had in mind doing something for he
institution on these occasions besides
the mere celebration of the day, which
has its moral effect everywhere. But
the alumni have not gotten together
on any specific plan.
' Dr, Mims is delighted with his work
in the University and the former stu
dents here will be happy to hear him
speak as a University professor.'

;All the men who) have entered are
gpod players and a stiff fight' is e
pected. ( Bailey and Venable have been
showing up well in their practice
matches. Lindsay played on the Guil
ford College , team in 1907. He ' has
a- g-bod chance for the team. Venable
isi the only man . who has had Varsity
experience, he. together with George
Fountain having represented the Uni

outlook, the team: this year will be
equally as good as last year's team,
which was the most successful the Uni

Patterson Talks to Y. M,
on Inadequate Excuses.
4 Dr. Patterson gave a lecture at the
Tuesday night devotional meeting of
the Younsr Men's Christian Associa
tion on, the inadequacy of excuses. The
lecture showed that poor excuses lead
to bad habits, -unsuccessful careers,
and unstable relations with the'ereator
Dr. Patterson said in substance:
Excuses are the result , of a natural
desire: on the part , of human beings
to atone for misdeeds and to escape
punishment. But excuses are of two
sorts, adequate and inadequate, most
of them seem inadequate. It is aston
ishing to note bow trivial and worth
less are many of the' excuses for neg.
lect of duty which have been present
ed to me as a member of the absent
committee by sophomores, juniors and
even seniors. In business life, because
someone else pulls off a profitable but
questionable deal that is no reason
you should do likewise; Because your
fellow banker gets rich by speculating
with other peoples money is no reason
that you can do so and no excuse that
you should try. Business men will not
except excuses for continued unexcus-
able errors and neglect of duty. The
public has condemned dealing, lottery
establishments and other similar evils
because the excuse which licensed them
was inadequate. ' m '
. Excuses arguments, are brought for
ward in defense of all evils even those
of the lowest type. The liquor traffic
a universally recognized evil ' has its
advocates. The next time you give
an excuse think whether it is adequate
or not. We fall into the habit of stif-
ing our sconciences with bad excuses
in order that we may do things that
are incompatible with bur ideas in re
gard to right and wrong. This leads
to dull, imperfect distinction between
wright . and wrong, and finally leads
to undisguised wrong. " When you get
out in life you will be called to serve
on juries. It is easier to carry juries
in the United States by bad excuses
and legal technicalities than in any
other country. In Germany 95 per
cent of the murderers are punished; in
Spain, 87 per cent; in France 65 per cent
CLANCEY SELECTED COACH
BRILLIANT LEAGUE PITCHER TO
j COACH BASEBALL TEAM
Was Pitcher for Georgetown University ;
Three Years. Has Pitched
- for Big Leagues ;''-'.'.
T The Athletic Advisory committee
Wednesday night selected Chas. A.
Clancey who pitched for Fayetteville
last season to coach the Varsity base
ball team for the 1911 season,
.Clancey has had a brilliant record in
league baseba.ll at Faetteville, Holyoke
Conn., Ruthland, Vermont, and Mon
treal. He was pitcher on the varsity
tearii at Georgetown Unsversity for
three years. At Holyoke in the Conn,
league he worked six years. ' He went
succesively to Montreal in the Eastern
league, in the latter part of the 1909
season and since coming there he has
not lost a series. ' ;
He was the strongest asset of the
penaut winning Highlanders during
his stay there. : .
He will come to Chpel Hill with the
reputation of being the best tutor of
young pitchers in the South. He is
said to have an extraordinary ability to
select young players and is a past mas
ter in teaching the fine points of the
game. He knows how to get ginger
into his squad.' , He is a good manager
of men. He demands in his men as a
first requirement. SPIRIT,' and his
watchword, according to an acquaint
ance who was enthusiastic at the suc
cess of Carolina in securing his servi
ces, is "Victory". ' ' :
WEST END BOOMING
It is said that Chapel v Hill is in,
danger of losing that portion of its
territory which usually goes by the
name of "West End" or "the depot
end of town." This section of the
city, it is reported, has indeed, already
declared its independence and has been
granted a separate and distinct post
office to be located within a few
feet of the Southern trunk line ter
minus. ' -' ; , :- "i- ''
Lots are being laid off and sold for
prices that sound destinctly city-like.
A new school house of modern plan
has been built. A large cotton factory
is going up which; it is said, will ma
terially increase the population. The
merchants are wearing a business-like
and prosperous air. Unmistakably,
West End is on a boom. ;
The football team left Thursday af-
-w TT i 1
ternoon tor Lexington, iventucKy,
where they will play the Central Uni
versity of Kentucky on Saturday. This
is the first time that Carolina has met
this University on the gridiron and the
result of this meeting, is regarded as
doubtful. Carolina, has one of, the
best teams that she has had in years
but her opponent also has a strong
team. The following men made the
trip: Williams, Garrett, Thompson, Mc-
L,ean, bpainnour, venaoie, neiK, sor
ter, Spencer, Ruff in, Young, Calmes,
Brown, Parker, Abernethy, Wakely,
Ritch, and Winston. -
and in the United States 2per cerit. It
has been calculated that it is 18 times
safer to live in London than in Chica
go. It behooves us wheu serving on
uries and in all other capacities to in
quire into every , excuse and determine
whether it be, an andequate one for an
excusable mistake or an inadequate
one for an unexcusable error.
