That is why we take mili tary training. That is why we conserve, and buy; War Saving S tamps ; that is why we try to choose the right course to pursue. But we are not in favor of mak ing abnormal times . more ab normal by stifling certain natural activities in the life of men who are in every sense patriotic, and under the guise of preventing a paltry circulation of money. What assurance is there that this money will not be circulated , in worse chanels, And if it were not, still there is the gap left in an already war-torn commencement'''" Whv vthis additional deVfce to increase the feeling -of -unrest and depart ure jrom the usual course of tiings ? The Uni vers i ty y sup posedly encourages a , normal ac tivity in time of crisis. Then let us not make an already dark . com mencement darker by the abolish ment of those activities that have for years been its chief diversion and recreation. We do not think that dancing is essential to a man's education, but we do believe that to wipe out a custom with such definite purpose and benefits will bring more harm than it can pos sibly bring good. We are willing to sacrifice everything to win the war, but we don't feel called upon to unnecessarily give up the best there is in student life. YELLS After the Senior Smoker on last Wednesday night the Seniors met in front of the Y. M. C. A. and gave a series of yells. The last of these was a yell in turn for 1919, 1920, and 1921. -: This is a very good start of what should become a tradition. In fact in the past it was customary when a class held a meeting to give complimentary yells for other classes. (AH classes please note, and think this over.) " THEY ARE HERE They are right here. Before we are able to realize it, those longed for, but dreaded examina tions will be here. Longed for, because with their coming the ap proach of vacation days , draw near; dreaded, because our last few months have been spent in slothful ease, drinking black cows, and in numerous other ways that lhad best not be mentioned. The time has come for us to wake up. Let's all spend the next twenty days in real hard work, in order that we may go borne with a smile on our face, knowing that we will welcome the report when it comes. .'; ' , , (Contributed.) TO THE TRAINING CAMP Ten members of the Senior Class are going to leave in a few days for Oglethorpe to train as officers. These men were chosen as far as possible on merit, and service in the battalion. They are men who have made a lasting im print on the student record of their Alma Mater. All of them have done their part toward fur thering the splendid spirit of this place, and will be sorely missed. ACTIVITIES Last May Carolina was just like all the rest of America no one knew what to do or when to do it. Everything seemed uprooted. In fact there was almost a condition of panic here. ' : But this spring has been dif ferent. -Activities have flourished with a renewed vigor. Indeed the military training seemed to put a new pep in everyone, and our spring has been very fill of good things. While Carolina lias ben doing her duty toward preparing men for the fight, she has also bus ied herself with the things that make for TJniversitv life at its best. It seems that America has regained her poise, has taken on a resolve' to win regardless of the cost, but that she has also resolved to retain that which is best in her life. ; Carolina has therefore, re flected the national viewpoint. Chapel Hill Oversubscribes To the Third Liberty Loan Chapel Hill oversubscribed her quota of $2S,G00, for the Third Liberty.' Loan, Wednesday, by al most 50 per cent, reaching the $42,(550 mark. The fund has been mounting fast, and it is expected that, Saturday, at 3:00 o'clock, when the , banks close, the sub scriptions will, have passed $45, 000. The quota was reached in the first week of the drive, and Chapel Hill's Liberty Loan flag has been proudly displayed in the Post Office ever since. Much credit is due the ladies for this showing, one-third of this sum having been raised by their canvassing. Mrs. T. J. Wilson and Miss Berry canvassed the lad ies of the town and obtained $2,- ooo. ' '''..-.. The fact that the hand of the Lilerty, Loan clock is stationary has annoyed many.. However, the drive has been progressing rapidly, and has long passed the maximum indicated W clock, $35,000. Studies in Philology to Appear on the Hill Soon The April volume of "The Stu dies in Philology," ' which is now at press will soon be in the hands of the subscribers. . The studies are treated by the world's best writers and are very interesting. They are printed quarterly and are circulated over the entire world. The present issue is especially interesting in that it is devoted to essays by American writers on Shakespeare, Spencer, Shelly, and others. The volume contains ten essays by the most learned college professors of the entire world. The first article, by the late Marion Fowler, Leo Carr, W. II. Stephenson, and W. M. York have been initiated into Tau Kap pa Alpha. 1 There are still seven high schools in the State racing for the state baseball championship. Patterson !&ros "prescription TDruists JOHNS HOPKINS WINS DEBATE Johns Hopkins University won the debate with the University of Virginia in Gerrard Hall last Sat urday: Hopkins upheld the af firmative side of the query,' which advocated universal conscription of labor for war service. This de bate was part of the fifth llopkins-Yinnnia-Carolina Triangular De bate.' The speakers were Morton K. Rothschild and Charles K. Mie gel for Hopkins, and W. G. liainey and C R Pearce for Virginia. ' Mr. Rothschild of the affirmative showed that in order to win the war we must have complete organ ization of Our industries and our agriculture, which necessitates complete organization and control of ' labor. The defects of the pres ent organization, under which such things as the recent shipyard strikes are possible, can be remed ied only by universal conscription of labor. Our army... behind 'the lines must-be organized to support our army in the trenches. Mr. Iininev for . the negative contended that labor needs no such complicated, radical, untried sys tem of organization, which would be diflicut to organize and admin ister. He showed that our war work is progressing rapidly in spite of a few labor troubles. Mr. M iegel second speaker for the affirmative, gave further proof of the need, for labor conscrip tion and explained a method, by which such a .plan could be sim ply and quickly put into opera tion. ; Mr. Pearce for the negative then contended that over-organization and red tape delayed rather than accelerated war work, and that labor ;; conscription would only increase the red tape. The judges voted three to two in favor of the affirmative. ' " ' ; Eden, Phillpotts a very distin guished English novelist, is mas terfully handled and does great credit to the author. Dr. Phill potts wrote a most excellent arti cle about Sir Walter Raleigh who was also a Devonshire man. The author is often compared to Thom as Hardy. Dr. Greenlaw and Dr. llauford from this university have contri buted some excellent articles. These studies reach not only American colleges but those of India, Australia, and practically every European country except Germany. Dr. Greenlaw received two subscriptions last week at the same mail one from Sidney, Australia, and the other from an Indian scholar in Calcutta. Carolina Commencement There will be numerous gayeties and social affairs during Caro lina commencement when you will need engraved cards. En graving is proper. Our work is distinctive; it's' individual; its definiteness of character is appealing to the esthetic sense of cor rectness. Engraving costs little more than good printing, and is preferred by those of refined tastes. May we submit samples and quote prices? Write or phone to-day to ensure delivery.

Farewell Smoker Held by Latin-American Club A new departure was made at the last meeting of the Latin American Club for this year when a sort of ''farewell smoker" was added to the regular program last Monday night. An interesting paper was read by Bob Gwynu on the "Effects of the War on Latin America," discussing the effects on both the economic and political development of our southern neigh bors. Bob DeRossette then made a few remarks on "The Production of Linseed in Argentina," after which Lieutenant Whitfield, in vited specially for the occasion, related a few of the experiences and observations of his visit to the West Indies several years ago.
