PATRIOTISM
That indescribable thing which
causes us to salute our 'flag, and
makes ua yell when we hear Dixie,
is now manifested in many ways.
It is that which causes the Di So
ciety" to purchase liberty bonds,
and stimulates Charles Apostle,
the Greek, to contribute liberally
to the ! Y. M. C. A. ; War Fund;
There is one fact that in itself
would make ua believe in our old
U. S. A.', namely, that aliens com
mence to love her when they ar
rive on her shores, and then be
come citizens" as soon as possible.
It is the seemingly simple thing
that is hardest to define, but the
following "definition by Mrs. J.
Ellen -Foster,' of Washington, D.
C.is about the best we have seen:
"Patriotism is such a loving
sense of the unity and vitality of
the national life as will lead one
gladly to obey the law, to guard
its dignity, to aid in its enforce
ment to exercise a noble self-restraint,
to cultivate civic virtues
and political wisdom, to sacrifice,
to suffer, and, if need be, to die
for the country."
THOUGHTLESSNESS
Did you gQ to the "Vaudeville"
in Chapel last Monday night? If
so you probably noticed a little
incident there which was the re
sult of thoughtlessness.
Preceding the performance the
restless bunch in the gallery con
ceive the idea of floating small
, paper planes down on the people
'below. One of these planes acci
dentally landed in a lady's hair.
Immediately the house was in an
uproar. Now just stop and ask
yourself "candidly what you think
of this sort of conduct, coming
from "University, students. Don't
y6u feel a sort of inward wrath at
this incident.
Then, there were some who per
sisted in using the, edge of the gal
lery as seats, apparently forget
ting that their feet carried an as
sortment of mud and dirt, as a re
sult of a day's tramp. These fel
lows continually hanged their
heels together, sending a shower
of debris to the people below.
Just' stop and think about this
incident. Of course it was not
an, intentional discourtesy. But
what does it mark us as ? Let's
watch those little things and see
that they stop. If we exercise a
strong individual censorship at all
times we will ultimately be able
to raise the standard of conduct
here and perpetuate one of the
highest ideals for which our Uni
versity stands.
If the boys work much harder
at the trenches, they'll be dugout.
OVER-ORGANIZATION
In the good old days of the uni
versities, there was no such word
as over-organization, but rather
under-organization. -From then
to the present time, universities
have been changing in character
until now we have the more or
less standard American High
School College, and in that col
lege so 'many little organizations
that every man in any department
can belong to at least three.
Why do men join these organi
zations, of which many will be
lost sight of the year after gradu
ation; of which many are merely
colossal farces as far a8 standing
for any thing of real value goes?
One man explains it by saying
that a man in his first year or two
is reaching out for college honors
.of all kinds, and so becomes a
member of many minor organi
zations. In his other years, per
haps will come opportunities to
ally himself with those fewer
groups which may benefit him,
and so he joins them too. As a
result we have the average senior
with' four meetings to attend at
7 :15 sharp.
For the past year or two there
has been quite a bit of talk go
ing about among the students in a
quiet manner, and yet new mush
rooms are springing up over night.
' Why should we turn our four
years here into a scramble for
Yackety Yack statistics?
THE LATE THEORY OF SMITH
JOHN Just when man first started the
abominable habit of being late is
uncertain. But Messrs. Smith
john and Doebill, two philosophers
of world-wide reputation, trace it
as far back as Adam and Eve.
The Serpent, according to
'Smithjohn, was about to shed his
skin, and Adam in need of leggins"
was actually urging him to sell
his own hide.
A bargain being struck, adds
Doebill, Adam, exulting, phoned
Eve to get supper by 6:30 and1
be ready to take in the Pickwick.
Now when Adam reached the
Old East, neither Eve nor the
evening meal was there. So
Adam, according to Billjohn, ran
down into the Arboretum where
he found Eve peacefully patching
together a brand new costume of
fig leaves. To his sharp rebuke
she replied that Uncle Henry was
not ringing the bell on schedule
time, and that an hour was not
sufficient time to dress anyhow.
Now whether Smithbill and
Doejohn are right matters not with
us. That Chapel Hill is sorely
afflicted with this habit of being
late is quite evident.
On every class; at every drill;
at every club, fraternity, or other
organization, with few exceptions,
there are stragglers. Whenever
a meeting is called for' 7 :30 it
convenes at 8. There is indeed a
danger that if 8 ia used for 7:30
too often it will become 7:30 with
out a doubt, and 7 :30 will be
something else, and then the whole
system will have to adjust itself.
But really it is a serious thing
when one must lose a half hour
waiting to meet an obligation. Of
course we have ; to wait for the
mail, and it is not our fault be
cause the train comes in on time
once a week. Imagine yourself
a Dinky, and the South wind
blowing straight in your face.
Nor ia our fault altogether, that
we are late on classes, late at
drill, late everywhere except at
Swain Hall and the boarding
houses. There our appetitics, or
rather others' appetites, spur. us
on.
We are not on time because

CAROLINA REPRESENTED IN
AMERICAN UNIVERSITY UNION
When the American University
Union in Europe was organized
on July 15, 1917, the University
of North Carolina was one of the
first universities to join.- And so,
when our alumni are given fur
loughs and go to Paris and Lon
don to take a rest before another
round' with the Hun, they will
find at the headquarters of the
Union every ' arrangement made
for their convenience and pleas
ure. Piles of the leading Ameri
can - magazines, periodicals, and
newspapers will be kept in the
reading room, and athletic f acili
ies will be placed at the disposal
of the members. The hotels will
also have good rooms, baths, res
taurants, bureaus of information,
and 'medical service. The gener
al object of the Union," says the
constitution, "shall be to meet the
needs of American university and
college men who are in Europe for
military or other service in the
cause of the Allies." This uni
versity ia one of forty-eight Amer
ican" nistitutions that belong to the
Union, and Mr. Graham is a mem
ber of the Board of Trustees. '
The New York Evening Post
recently stated that the American
University Union in Europe was
to open on- October 20 with, the
Boyal Palace Hotel as its head
quarters for American college men
and their friends in war time.
The London Branch has opened
also.
things don't start on time. , We
are not on time because being, late
repeatedly, it has become a part
of our very natures. And, most
inexcusably, we are not on time,
because everv one goes by a dif
ferent time. .
, In the first case we must start
things on time. That calls for
leaders and every one must be a
leader. In the second case we
can be an isolated exception to this
habit. And in the third place we
should have a standard time here.
Old Henry's watch used to lose
five minutes while he walked from
Alumni to the South. So the bell
rang somewhere in a fifteen min
ute ; margin. And old Henry's
successor must have inherited that
watch.
The Tar Heel suggests (rather
it has been suggested to' the Tar
Heel) that by some means or
other a large clock be placed on
the tower of the South building,
and that all meetings, engage
ments; classes, and drills to say
nothing of Ingersols and alarm
clocks, be regulated by that one
clock.
Here's a chance for an appro
priate class gift.
The directory .this jear is said
to be the best one ever gotten out.
It has recently made its appear
ance on the campus.
The University Daily Kansan
says it is going to put on the front
page the names of all professors
who hold their classes after the
bell rings.
DANCES TO BE "BIGGER AND
BETTER" THAN EVER IS SAID
The dances, that one oasis in
the long dreary stretch of the Fall
Term, come off 'the first week in
December. Then tho campus
takes on a new air, creatures from
another world flit about from
place to place and men hold on to
these creatures as if they might
fly away at any moment. These
phantoms of beauty mysteriously
move about making glad the hearts
of men and then are gone almost
as suddenly as they came.
When asked as to the prospects
for the dances this year, "Peck"
Norris, Treasurer of the German
Club, using the words of the cir
cus advance agent, said, "bigger
and better this year." He said
that negotiations were being car
ried on to secure the services of
Wright's 'Saxaphone Orchestra
from Columbus, Ohio. This or
chestra has the reputation of be
ing one of the best musical organ
izations in the middle west and
every possible effort is being made
to have it play here this fall.
There will be three big dances
besides the informal ones which
different fraternities will give in
the mornings. The Gimghpuls
will start the ball to rolling with
their annual dance in the gym the
first night. On the second after
noon the Gorgon Heads give an
informal dance at their lodge on
Franklin Street. The German
Club closes the festivities on the
second night. Wrights will fur
nish musiQ for all these occasions.,
Bingham McKie . is leader of
the German Club dance with J.
