Last year this change was especially marked. It was reflected in ma gazine articles, in the Tar Heel, and in student discussions under the auspices of the Y. M. 0. A. Official notice of this changed and bettered spirit was taken in Dean Stacy's report to the President of the University: "I' doubt if a group of men could be found any where whose ideals are higher than those which prevail on this campus. Citizens of Chapel Hill tell me that nothing in their mem ory equals the conduct and the courtesy of the University boys during the year for which I sub mit this report," and in President Graham's report to the Board of Trustees that "the more or less amiable law-breaking and irre sponsibility of a decade ago." Ko longer exists, and that "the sort of ethics that permitted good men in College to do what good men out side never did has been practically discarded." ' - We no longer expect to find on the Bulletin Board a notice to the effect that "the young gentleman who left his dark, navy blue cap under Mrs. Barber's apple tree, may get the same by calling at her home this morning." , The Honor spirit in student govern ment has called forth a feeling of individual responsibility for Cam pus conduct in a college communi ty where there are no petty rubes, and where the gentleman's stan dard is the campus standard. This spirit among the students has been one of the chief factors in strengthening the University in the state. It has been of inesti mable value as a practical inter pertation of the ideals of citizen ship which the University stands for. For the sake of our own life here, and the unsullied name of the university, we would preserve this spirit in all its vigor and full ness, untarnished by any thought less act. ATHLETICS IN WAR In an article entitled "College Athletics Judged by War" writ ten by W. T. Foster, President of Eeed College, we find the follow ing very interesting facts men tioned: "Unfortunately, we have had little experience with athletics conduced solely for all students, entirely free from the good and bad influence of ' intercollegiate athletics, whatever they may be. Reed College has now had six years of devotion to its athletic policy six years with ni inter collegiate athletics whatever. Care ful records for these six years show that from ninety-three to ninety-five per cent of the men students participate; in lathletics games at least once a week. Every student in the institution is ex pected to participate in athletic. games throughout his entire col lege course and to have frequent examinations for the discovery of physical defects and the prescrip tion of a corrective physical re gime. Partly as a result, every undergraduate except one who ap plied for admission to any branch of the army and navy passed the preliminary physical examina tions." NEW SYSTEM OF ELECTION Election by ballot to offices in the Athletic Association will be on trial Saturday afternoon, Septem ber 29, when the polls will be open from two o'clock until five. Bal lot boxes with printed ballots will be stationed at Gerrard Hall, and at the Law, Medical and Phar macy buildings. - The old method of election at a general meeting, where a quorum for the transaction of business could rarely even be assembled, and when a fiendish anxiety for haste was more characteristic than a desire for motive deliberation, has been sacrificed upon the alter of common sense. The ballot sys tem replaces it. Every student should manifest a citizen's interest in community affairs. , Thero should be as many votes cast Saturday afternoon, aa there are students in the University- ) STUDENT ORGANIZATION IN DORMITORY A measure which has been dis cussed often, and attempted once or twice, but never with sufficient earnestness or seriousness to be carried through, is student organ ization for order in the dormi tories. A student deposits a damage fee of $2 with the Treasurer, and rents room in which to sleep and study. When noises occasioned by bugle blowing, or transom smash ing, or panel kicking, or things breaking prevents the occupants rom both sleeping and studying he has a right to complain against it. When, in addition to disturb- mg him rom study, the noise takes money out of his damage fee, he has the right to become in dignant. And when this distur bance invades not only his indi vidual rights, but degrades the standard of the campus, for which he is responsible, it is not only his privilege but his duty, to act- Such action can express itself in no more production or construc tive manner than in an organiza tion of the students in each dor- HERMAN'S ARMY SHOE THE UNITED STATES ARMY SHOE US t ...

MILITARY TRAINING A NEW PHASE Just two weeks of intensive mil itary training has brougth out four rudely efficient companies. The fundamentals of organization and drill, according to Captain Allen, i i -i i . i nave oeen assimilated witn un usual quickness. Only detail im perfections are now being correct ed by the platoon and company leaders. .' .College men are rightfully ex pected to assimilate training more rapidly than those who have not had equal opportunities. But this is not the sole reason for the rapid progress made. There is a spirit of seriousness which strengthens the morals of the whole student body seriousness bred of responsi bility. It has expressed itself in a constructive manner in campus customs. College might strike a new and deeper note than (had been sounded before. Tardiness at meetings and classes has been reduced by half. Fun and pleas ure there is in plenty; but it is rid of its boisterousness. This spirit cannot be called the result of military training. But military training has disciplined it, and directed it into constructive channels. ' Still it is somewhat difficult to combine frepdom and restraint; as is shown by the habit some men in. the rank have of talking after the battalion has been called to attention. Ought not this to stop ? Is it necessary to take any meas ures to stop it other than an ap peal to the men in training ?
