From time immemorial it has been s the habit of -our non-fraternitymen to i sit around and ''cuss" the University's social system. They have complained bitterlythat they didn't have a fair! .chanc to. participate in the social func-l tionssof the campus. : Whether that ha 'ihfiftn, ruf-,-rir.! tint . -ttrnti't car , ruit we do say (most emphatically that it i$ mo. longer,true. They now havea fait chance to, participate. The movement -recently started offers that chance and -the -success or failure of the move tment depends, upon thenou-fraternityt vmen. .The burden of .proof lies . upon their shoulders. We "recommend that football playj er's article'to our strong and prosper! ous ' "Knocker's Club." In particulaj "we recommend it to the leading-song "birds of the clanging- chorus. Alj 'ready the Organization has taken steps" to bang the' baseball team. j 'Now, in'the name of common sense why do these gentlemen "knock" sd - persistently? They gain nothing for themselves except the contempt of thd "majdnty of the campus citizens and Jwhat is far more important, nothing; 'destroys ' the 'effectiveness of an athletic team as thoroughly as continued n a g g i n g and ' 'criti cizing." For the sake of the Univer sity gentlemen, and your own self re spect if you; pretend to have any, "cut t out the? knocking." j Thb 'best Jyceum quartet in the i country will sing in "Gerrard Hall to night. The hall will doubtless be packed. As usual quite a number of ladies will attend. . "Ergo it behooves the gallery gods to be on their good behavior. At the "Roney Boys" performance they wern't. They made things disagree! able for the performers and many b the audience by ' smoking. Tobacco fumes are especially irritating to sinj gers. 'We "hope the gallery gentle men will bear this in mind tonight arid conduct themselves accordingly! 'They should remember th at smoking is not permitted in reputable theatres? iGerrard . Hall is the campus theatre and with the exception of one or two instances has always been considered JaJreputable 'building. 'Last "year ;just after 'the Caroltna Da'vldson' f oot ball game, there sprang :up 6"n the Cathpus of 'the ' University a a movement which took the name of constructive criticism. The continued losing of. that football team gave, the constructive critics a fine opportunity for the application of their new doc trine. Now I do not attempt to say just what the true constructive criti cism was intended to "mean but I do positively know that'it'has grown to be used in the "same sense as "knocking." Every student from the greenest fresh man to the most learned and dignified post graduate' may and'jn' most cases does make of himself a self-appointed knocker of any debate, any athlete or any professor. Criticism as" 'knocking'? has gone thedimit andrthat ;beautifii something,which we call , the Univer sity spirit is fast becoming a thing of the past. . ,' . , ,.- - . ' The movement has grown so rapidly that it; is an. ordinary occurrence td heara-crowd of fellows, composed oi all classes, "bpenlycriticising anything pertaining to University life. Person ally I think this thoughtless iand dis-j organizing; custom has; outlived any usefulness it might have had. As long as our team wins you neveij hear "knocking" but no sooner does it lose than you hear the anvil chorus We are going to measure the expres sion of our college spirit by victory Its not the fact that our team lost tha counts but how they ; lost is the vitally important thing. '.' A few minutes after the Carolina Virginia basket-ball fgame'Imet a member of our team down town. I shook hands Jwith him, congratulated him on the game he putupand'on th showinar of our team. I noticed h did not speak but turned and walke into the drug" store. I followed hi and saw. his eyes filled with tearsv g few days later I related this ineideh to several fellows and sothe bf the laughed as much as to say: "He had better win some games' ironi Virgin ia and cut out crying because he lost. This fellow had played 'the game foj all there was in him. !It was not"fu& individual loss that hurt, but his team's defeat the University's defeat hurt. I have lost to Virginia" and oth er colleges and take it from me if you only knew the man's feeling who rep? resents you and'loses you would. not dare criticise him. , t Coach Clancey is training the base ball team. Nearly every man in col: lege is eligible to play. If you can! take any man's job from him' go out and do it. If you can't, go out and pull for the University's team. " It is your team; it is my team. We must bear with them every deteat and every vic tory. Let's show them that we'll be with them all the time,' and above allj cut out the "knocking." An ex-foot ball player, j mmmmmm . ' ' I The Agora is the name of a 'new college paper at Dartmouth. The Agora is a novelty in 'the field of journalism.' It is published - by the undergraduates "for the expression o j student sentiment 'and 'f6r j open dis cussion of all college questions by any one interested iii the good of the! college." ! The publishers 'announce that the paper will "devote its energy to the publication of thoughtfuj knocks," Criticisms of all kindsrare invited from students, faculty memf bers, and alumni, j A movement is on foot in a number of colleges, particularly in the West j to establish ' a: national 'drainatic fraf ternity. The dramatic club at the University of Nebraska originated the idea, and they have already - affiliated with similar clubs at ' the University of Kansas, Michigan, "Iowa, Wisconsin Cornell and others On of the objects of the fraternity is to exchange origi nal plays among the chapters when successful ones are produced. ; i i SAFE AND SATISFACTORY Buying from us By Paone is safe and satisfactory.
