MASS MEETINGS : Friday night a mass meeting was held in Chapel which as ; mass meet was about as completi a fizzle and failure as was evei pulled off on the Hill. The pri mary purpose of a mass meeting at Carolina is "to get up enthusi asm", is to go forth and lay vio lent hands on that much abuse ( thing called "college spirit" anY bottle it up to be used in a gam next day; is to lure one to Gerran' Hall with the blare of a bras: band, force one to listen to an tique jokes, and then yank a yel or two out of one. This is termer "college spirit" and "getting be; hind the team." Well, jokes and band were present Friday night, but enthusiasm and spirit were not. The crowd sat in chapel and would have gone gently off to sleep had not the band blaref forth occasionally. It shower as much spirit as a sick kittei! just about to cast off this morta " coil. ; ' : The trouble with that mas meeting was that the whole ide: was wrong. College spirit is ho a something that you can stir u;; over night using a joke howeve' funny or a yell however noisy a: ladles with which to stir. Col lege spirit is not a something that you can cork' up in a bottle labelled "shake well before using' and "give two tablespoonfuls ii . wine glass full of jokes befon e.ich game." College spirit if n t workeaup enthusiasm not j n use and racket. And even ! m iss meeting that is called to st i r up Jcollege spirit must be a failure. What is college spirit anyway? It's not noise nor mass meetings, but a presence that stirs and vitalizes; a sense . that we are brothers all, sons of the same gracious mother. It's the vital,1 moving life of the student body, born of a loyalty dauntless, a faith unconquerable, and a love sublime love. It's the very tex ture and fibre and soul of life1. It's deep and you cannot stir it with mass meeting. A mass meeting is not the cause and source of college spirit, but the expression of it. This is not an editorial on the folly of mass meetings. We are not op posed to mass meetings we like them, want them, but we want them to come as an expression and result of that deepmoving, thrilling thing that animates all and makes all one. And yells should be given not as a source of college spirit, but as a measure of its fullness. Something is the matter with "Carolina Spirit. Some lliiii;; is ; sleeping or,, dead. Somehow we would rather laugh and sneer at some fellow's failure than to cheer him at his success. We would rather look for things to criticise than things to praise. This isn't limited to athletics. It goes through all our life here we talk more of the University's lack than of its fullness; we see the crack in the Old East Building, and forgot that that, building and its hallowed ! associations is a precious heritage j to us; we call this a "hell of ; hole, and .think we have said something bright. No, college spirit is deeper than amass meet ing more vital, closer, fuller. Some of these nights after the lights have winked go out to the i old Davie Poplar and look up and ; around you. Be by yourself and watch the calm loveliness of the moon sift through the leaves and play on the campus as it roll? away from you. See if you don'l t del more decent, cleaner; the and a stronger love for this old place; and then "home returning ioothly swear, was never scene so ;adly fair". Ah well, you'd probably break our shins over a chair in your room getting to bed and college pirit is a darn funny thing any- vay. - : "The students confidently ex pect a victory over Washing ion and Lee and the University f North Carolina, two colleges hich have a much larger atten dance than we have. Have you thought why we have been con sistently beating them for the last five or six years? Well, the gist of the matter is this: the school has been loyally backing the team; for two men that come ut for football in most colleges, ve have three; for two rooters hat they have, we have four." I he Virginia Tech. . . ' The senior class held a very , mportant meeting last Friday in Jerrard Hall. Several itnpor- ant committees were appointed. The following men were appont- d by the president as the"Stun1 Committee": h. N. Morgan, B. ). Stephenson, J. C. Whitaker, . L. Orr, and Dave Murchison. f heir duty will be to investigate various Jschemes for a stunt, to .eport to the class, and then to lave charge of preparing the ;tunt. C. E. Teague and Bill Hendrix vere appointed to look after get ing senior pictures in the Tackety Tack. CP. Quincy, Blake Isley, and J Higgins were appoinied to ok after the all important ques 'on of getting proper and artis 'c millinery for the seniors.

It was voted y the class that his remarks be put in writing and be printed in the Tar Heel. Fred Drane, last year's treas urer, made a somewhat detailed report, the substance of which was that the class owed abont ? 15.50. . l he "Gamecock" says that the devotees of the pig- skin art at the University of South Carolina ire going- to decorate the score boards with numerals on the i'ight side this year. V. P. I.'s football horizon to use their expression has a rose ate hue.
