CHAPEL In somewhat the same way as a publication of some sort is nec essary to intelligent citizenship it! a community, chapel is in its relationship to the collesre. It is one of the mediums through which news and opinion is dis seminated in the University. However-g-1 ad we may have been to escape getting- a chapel seat, however well we may use tne twenty minute chapel period, however unessential we may con sider chapel talks, still, twe feel, after continued absence from chapel, that we are a little apart from the real life of the college. Ve hear only through the most unsatisfactory channels, through campus comment and rumor, what has firone on and will take place. The absence o t upper cJjfssinen from chapel, just as the residence of half the student body out of college, necessarily means tess unity. It used to be the feel ing- that an announcement made m chapel would reach every aca tlemic student; one student desir ing to see another could always find him at chapel. Now inter course is through the post office formal and not conducive to friendship. We all regret that the chapel is not large enough to afford us all .seats,, so that we all might have places there. We might not all attend regularly, but still 'the general effect would be for the unification of college sentiment if the majority of the academic stu dents met regularly five times , a week. We look forward to the time when we shall have a more commodious building. DAMAGE FEES Last fall The Tar Heel sug gested a Damage Fee Fund. It was to be made up of the damage fees of those students who wished to contribute and was to be turn ed over to the University either for some general or some specific improvements in the college equipment. We still think that this plan would be serviceable. For in stance, tba Old East Building is not adequately supplied with run ning water. The occupants of the building desirous of greater comfort might all contribute what remained of their damage fees at the end of the year toward such improvements. If the am ount were not sufficient, it might be added to the following year and then, being increased by what the University had to spend for such improvements, would probably suffice. For some of the minor im provements about the college buildings class gifts used to suf fice; but now graduating classes pledge money to be oaid within five or ten years, instead of mak- . a - in of direct gifts. The ;, lisrhtinir fixtures in Chapel were given by- one class, the flag pole by an other, statuary in the library was presented by others. The men in college now might provide for similar things with out hardships to themselves. At present, some more sanitary and consistently-working apparatus is needed to replace the old pump in front of the South Building. With an increment of funds it might be possible for the Uni- M versity to put in a regular foun tain. That is, if a number of in terested and patriotic students were willing to contribute their nage fees to a fund which would be turned over to the Uni versity to pay for the erection of a sanitary fountain. Under ordinary circumstances giving means, to a certain extent, privation. With the method pro posed, however, no more discom fort would ensue than painless dentists say their patients suffer which is some trivial amount. To give our damage tees is to trive what most of us feel entitled to recreation. Damage lets re ceived at the end of the year seem so much like presents that we don't mind spending them for other than the necessities of life. f we do not mind spending them for worthy ends, they may pro cure lis more comfort and sanitation.

His subject was "A Better Navy For the United States." Mr. Kemple, with a style that was different from the common run of speakers and one that pleased the small audience, re viewed the history of the Ameri can navy, giving in detail the part it took in the several wars in which this nation has been im plicated. He showed i thorough ) knowledge of his subject by giv ing a brief record of many of our men-of-war, their size, and in many cases why they were suc cessful or unsuccessful as the case happened The reason why the South lost in the Civil War, he said, was be cause the North had the better navy and was able to blockade all of the southern ports. Before the war of 1812 the Americans suffered indignities at the hands of the Britsh for many years, yet the United States could not make war on England because there was no navy. It took us more than two months after the sink ing of Maine before we could de clare war on Spain for the simple reasou that we had no means of getting our troops from the United States to Cuba, a distance of less than 200 miles. "If it took two months to get ready to make war on a sick nation," de clared the speaker, "how long would it take us to get ready to lick Germany and her allies, or England and her allies, or let us say Mexico and her allies. "Today 40 per cent of our fight ing power is lying idle at differ ent navy yards because there are j not enough sailors to man our ships. If we had men for these vessels, it would require four months to train the deck crews and one year to train the turrent crews, yet Congress rolls the pork barrel and says there is no use wasting time with a navy while our political position is unsafe." No man can predict what will be the geographical alignment of Europe, or where the balance of power will lay two years from now.
