Evkky senior should attend the class
banquet. Next to graduation the ban
quets are probably the "most, pleasant
events in the history of a college class.
Especially is this true of the senior
banquet. Last year and year before,
the banquet committees for the class
of 1911 failed to meet expenses, the at
tendance was so small. Surely the
senior banquet will have a larger at
tendance, being the last opportunity
for the class to enjoy such an event.
The committee issues the statement
that it is making all preparations for
a '.'peach" of a time.
It is to be regretted that the rub
bish and waste-material,, which is
hauled off from the town and college
buildings is not burned instead of being
left in unsightly and unsanitaryThenps
along the roads in the woods south ;of
the campus. But for this dreary and
untidy condition of our back yard,
. .some of the most pleasant walks
around Chapel Hill could be found 't in
these woods. The. road that leads by
the west end of the athletic field to the
famous Meeting of the ; Waters is ; a
good example. You have hardly left
the, field before you come upon all
manner of refuse scattered in the road
and out of it and piled in decaying
heaps through the woods. Stacks of
coarse wrapping paper and , excelsior
from the stores; of old magazines,
pamphlets, government reports, dis
carded from the library and offices;-
all lie sodden and rotting among rank
weeds or are blown about by the, wind.
Literally thousands of tin cans - from
Chapel Hill boarding houses are , scat
tered through these woods, some of
them new and bright, some in rust
eaten piles, partly filled with stagnant
rain water. Here and there lies the
remains of an old garment, half-beaten
into the earth; an old shoe, badly
warped, sits in the road by the stub of
an old straw broom; here is a lime bar
rel in a state of collapse leaning upon
a mound of old plaster and broken
laths; there the smashed frame of an
old chair with its ragged cane bottom
broken through in the center. ' J
But the "looks" of the thing is not
the only consideration. One can find
plenty of places to walk without tak
ing any of these desolate routes. But
it is said that mosquitoes cause sever
al yarieties of fever and that they are
especially fond of such surroundings
as we have described. We urgen tly
call the attention of the ladies' im
improvement society, to this fact. "Of
course 'everything but the tin ; cans
could be burned made bonfires of;
and we beg to suggest that the, class
in First Geology might consent to sac
rifice its scientific interest in the
"Grand Canon" just north of xhe town,
for the interment of the cans.
. CHAPEL TALKS
Monday morning in chapel, Mr.
Hounshel, on the Hill in the interest of
missions, spoke of the tremendous op
portunities for service now apparent.
He'dedared that there -.was a call to
foreign lands for; strong college men,
to become literary men, teachers, or
ganizers and secretaries. In such a
time of unparalleled opportunity in
diplomatic and business circles, whe
everything is being organized on such
a biu scale, there is no excuse for any
man leading a life of .; small dimen
sions. " '.
Tuesday, Dr. Wagstaff, of the De
partment of History, presented a. brief
but thorough review of, conditions in
Portugal. The Revolution, he said,
had been in progress for sometime.
The recent outbreak was rather pre
mature, being directly caused by the
assassination of Professor Bombadan
an ardent Republican, bytian insane
fanatic. An inflammatory editorial
appeared in a Republican paper, ( Riots
resulted, a mob gathering in the streets
and stoning a few priests. The; First
Artillery then trampled upon the royal
standard and raised the.Revolutionary
flag, throwing the city of Lisbon into
a tumult. - Parts of other regiments
also revolted, iand there; was 'sharp
fighting in the streets between Repub
licans and Royalists, all outside com
munication being cut off. The; Duke
of Oporto, uncle of the King, fought
bravely on this night, and the advan
tage was rather on the side of the
Royalists. The tide was turned how
ever, when three battleships raised the
flag of the insurgents and began bom
barding the royal palace. ;The j King
fled . through the back door of the
palace in an automobile, this being the
first instance of where a king has; taken
flight in this modern vehicle) and
sailed for Gibraltar. Professor Braga
was made president of the provisional
government, two of the cabinet jmem
bers also being college professors.
Peace and order prevailed in the coun
try. ' j
.Wednesday, Dr. Edwin Mims spoke
upon the value of a knowledge oi-contemporary
events. Referring to im
portant things happening around us,
he mentioned the wonderful uplift
taking place in country life, and how
the problems of democracy were being
transferred to industry, mentioning as
among the leaders in progress, Roose
velt, Taft, Hughes, Wilson, Gaynor
and Harmon. Of important events
happening abroad, there are the indus
trial revolution in France, the religious
and social ugheaval in Spain, etc. The
chapel bell interrupted Dr. Mims be
fore he had terminated his talk.
Thursday, finishing his talk begun
the day before, Dr. Mims suggested
certain papers and magazines which
would be a help to the student in keep
ing abreast of contemporary events.
He mentioned the Washington Post,
New York Evening Post, Inde
pendent, Outlook, Nation, World's
Work, and Review of Reviews. He
quoted Professor James as raising the
question whether . the ten-cent .maga
zines were not the most significant in
fluence in American life.
Friday, Dr. Royster explained the
Rhodes Scholarships urging the stu
dents not to let the appointments go
uncontested, as they have done some
times in the past. He spoke of the
advantages of three years study in Ox
ford, the social pleasures, and the op
portunities for travel on the continent.
He corrected current misapprehensions
as to the examinations and require
ments. The examinations are simply
the entrance examinations of -Oxford.
It is not , necessary to continue the
study of , Latin and Greek there,
While an all-round man is desired, it
is not necessary to have made a Var
sity team or the Phi JJet Kappa
society.
