In taking; up any matter such
as the dance situation here
there, is always the danger of
arousing a certain unreasoning
kind of antagonism on the part
of some who are not opposed to a
change but, in fact, are in favor
of one until another person sug
gests it to them, but who, as
soon as that suggestion is made,
instead of being glad of the con
firmation that "great minds run
the same channels ' at once
take up arms because they think
that some one is trying to " run
something over them". With that
other class which merely wants
that suggestion for an excuse for
antagonism we shall not concern
ourselves.
It is merely human to take Bof-
tence at susreestiojs; but tt is
manly to follow one's convictions
regardless of suggestions. There
is, a sentiment among the leaders
of the dances and a movement on
foot among: them for some
change in and improvement on
the presentsystetn . This move
ment baa, been on foot for some
time, and we hope that it will
materialize soon into something
definite. That anv change that
is made should be . made from
within is certainly proper. Such
a change would be much finer
and more effective than any other
that could be accomplished.
Whether under another sys
tem there would be more dancers
is not the question at all. As a
matter of fact we are inclined to
believe that the crowd would be
substantially the same as under
the present system. Neither is
it a question of whether the
German Club should become an
open organization. It is a ques
tion of wheather five per cent of
the student body mayappropriate
to themselves privileges granted
by the trustees to the whole stu
dent body. If ninety five percent
do not care to make use of the
privileges then the other five
should not be deprived of their
privileges, on that account, but
should be allowed to use them -not,
however, as a hundred per
centum themselves. They should
use them as apart of the .hun
dred per cent of students to whom
formers will take these things same species. All of which goes
into consideration, and will take very "well around here where

but from him that hath not shall
be taken away even that which
he hath".
Not only are parables interest
ing; but newspapers likewise, it
is entertaining to speculate as to
just how much of the progress of
the world recently has been due to
newspapers and other periodicals.
They, quite often, contain much
valuable information, many prac
tical suggestions. The occasion
of these reflections is the follow
ing clipping from "College Top
ics , the student paper or the
University of Virginia:
'Whereas, we believe that in
terest, enthusiasm and education
in football should extend throgh
out the entire session instead of
being confined to the active foot
ball season;
'Be itresolved. That the Execu-
ective Committee of the G. A. A
do promote the organization of
and render every possible assis
tance in the establishment of a
football club, whose objects shall
in general be to advance the in
terest of football in the Univer
sity or Virginia".
it seems to us that here is an
excellent opportunity for those
men who recently received their
monograms and stars in football
with the men who hope to receive
theirs next season or the season
after or the season after that, to
get together and do a bit of work
now with the view of winning
a few games in futere. For the
benefit of any who may be heavy
in avoirdupoise and light in gray
matter we shall elucidate a bit
farther to show the relations be
tween " A Football Club" here
and the biblical quotation above
used. . ,
If Virginia, after having had
a very successful loothall season,
considers it necessary for her to
organize a club for the practice of
the game during the rest of the
year - ana that, too, wnen sne
lias the prospects of most of the
old team back next year with
several new men on the string
who are good - then how much
more should we, alter having
had an absolutely disastrous
season, and with no especially
brilliant prospects for an all-any-thing
team next season, how
more ought we to be working
hard with the material that we
have? ,.; -:
I If our men will get to work
now and work hard, practicing
through the spring we have con
servative reason to ibelieve that
Carolina will put out a creditable
team next season. Otherwise
" For unto every one that hath
shall be given, and he shall have
abundance; but from him that
hath not shall be taken away
even that which, he hath"
mustaches instead.

HAH TO CAROLINA'S NEW POET.
The poetic spirit of Carolina
will not down. W. B. Clinard,
'11. has burst into song before
and his name has becurre well
known to readers of the Univer
sity Magazine and the Yackety
Yack. But now he comes before
the public as a full fledged poet,
the author of an attractive little
volutnn called " Stray Poems" ,
published by the Barber Printery
of Winston-Salem, 7The poems
were published before Christmas
and were evidently intended to
serve chiefly as a Christmas gift.
They are chiefly love lyrics" and
many of them show encouraging
promise. The volume is dedicat
ed " To my Alma Mater, the
University of North Carolina
under whose fostering care have
come inspiration and incentive to
lofty endeavour."
