Subscription Price, $1.50 Per Year, Payable in Advance or During the rirst 1 erm Single Copies, 5 Cents TO DRILL OR NOT TO DRILL Last week the Tar Heel sent out letters to ten faculty members and students asking for their opinions, if they eared to express them, on the question of military training at Carolina. It received the fol lowing three answers. "I would say that I advocate strongly the introduction of mili tary training in the University, and the JPlattsburg idea also, for i think the University should stand as an example of Prepared ness to the State." A. II. Patter . son. "I think compulsory military service as unsound as compulsory religious service' II. II. Wil Iiams. "If we can't have universal mil itary training, I am for the next .heat thingsmilitary training at Carolina. I favor it for two reas ons r primarily for the physical and mental benefits to be derived from such training and, also, be cause I believe it will create a greater respect and appreciation for the United .States." J. A. Capps. ' . Many of the colleges of the North and several of the ' South now have military training. The University of Virginia will probably have it soon ; like wise Vanderbilt. ; Washington and Lee University will offer the ser vices of a company of student vol unteers if the United States . be comes involved in war. It is thought that nearly all of the 550 men in attendance at the Univer sity will volunteer in the proposed student corps. . "Twenty-two hundred men of the student body of the University of Illinoise," says the University of Virginia College Topics, "are re ceiving military training tfnder the direction of three United States- army -officers. Over a thousand of the students of Cor nell University are getting mili tary training. Sixty per cent of the students of Princeton a ret re ceiving or will receive the benefits of a course in military science taught by officers of the regular army. Yale has its already fa mous battery of field artillery and many of its students are to receive training in other branches of mili tary science. Many other colleges and universities already have em braced the offer of the government to furnish officers for drilling their students and for instructing them in the rudiments of military train ing." How about it, Carolina? VOLUNTARY READING TJhe Freshmen are doing a lot of voluntary reading now. This year all the men in First English are required to do four hours read ing every iwo weeks in books main ly of their own choosing. In one section, however, only two Fresh' men did the minimum of four 'hours; one did forty-eight hours while the average was about ten hours. v v ) How many Seniors, J uniors and Sophomores do as much as ten hours of voluntary reading every two weeks? Whoever doesn't know the joy of getting a long-desired book ou of the Library, an old book as time-worn, -dusty and, mysterious as an ancient castle, or a new one, fresh and challenging with its ideas of today and tomorrow,- then taking it to his room and, with his feet propped up against the ra diator, reading it, not in order to pass a course, but freely, and sim ply for the pleasure of doing it,- whoever hasn't done that has miss ed one of the joys of life that can be experienced with a minimum of toil and trouble. CHAPEL HILL OPERA The exquisite rendition of the opera Faust on the Victrola by Messrs. Thornton and Dargan in the Peabody Building Tuesday night, though it mav have been found wanting in some of the de tails of the Metropolitan stage setting and though it must be ad mitted that Geraldine Farrar does not look as well-on the Victrola as she does behind the footlights, " was nevertheless decidedly worth arranging and hearing. The au dience of alxmt three hundred en joyed it thoroughly. There were a good many there who neither understood it nor appreciated it; but they had a delightful time laughing at it, for there are few more ludicrous: proceedings than an opera that you don't under stand. There were others, how ever, that did understand and ap preciated k, more or less, and they must feel very grateful to Prof. Thornton and Dr. Dargan for their trotible in arranging the concert. If they, or some other public- minded people, would only give another some time soon, Carmen, for instance ! THE NEW APPROPRIATION Here's to the Legislature of North .Carolina ! When they pass ed the $3,000,000 bond issue for educational purposes last week, thereby appropriating to the Uni versity $500,000 for permanent improvements during the next five years and $165,000 annually for maintenance for the next two years, they received the hearty thanks of everv Carolina student and alumnus. We have been anxiously waiting for some time to see whether the Legislature would thus open up its heart and give us the amount which President Graham had asked for. We knew well enough that we needed it and deserved it, but wondered whether the Legislature had the some pomt of view. Every man who knows the Uni versity intimately knows her ur gent need for more money to take care of the constantly increasing cost of maintenance, and to meet the s expense of much-needed per manent improvements. For years the University has been running on an income entirely too small for the scope of her work, only $115,000 for maintenance and $30,000 per year for improve ments. But in spite of this great handicap the University has been able to grow. Statistics show that Carolina is one of the most econo mically managed institutions of its kind in the country, and it is due to this economic management A Series of 120 Tests on each of fifteen men of the Uni versity of, Vermont, in several dif ferent psychic fields, show that tobacco smoking produces a 10.5 per cent decrease in mental eff ci- ency.

Still, the new appropriation is not an extraordinary amount when we look only at our present needs and our present numbers. Twice as much money could prof itably be spent here. We need at least two new domitories, for now only one-third of the students can room on the campus ; we need an engineering and physics build iug, a geology building, a new au ditorium and another class room building, not to mention the minor needs, such as campus improve ments. But. we are glad and thankful for what we have received. It will be spent wisely, and the Uni versity will be permitted to have an expansion and increased service to the State which will many times repay it for the expenditure. II. G. Baity. VIRGINIA-CAROLINA-HOPKINS r DEBATE The query for the Virginia-Carolina-Hookins debate is, Re solved, That, .'Constitutionality waived, legislation providing Com pulsory AibitratioiV of labor dis putes on Jnter-state Railways, and prohibiting all strikes and lock outs should be enacted.

"It appears to, me," one said, "that they seem to pick out your choicest plants to scratch out of the ground." "There's a big tomcat," the other said, "that fetches my plants out and then sits and actually de fies me." "Why don't you hurl a brick at him?" asked the first speaker.
