RETROSPECTIVE
With this first issue of the new year
the Tar Heel greets the student body,
and, although it is rather late in the
season for such wishes, it extends to
the students wishes for a most suc
cessful year. : It is often bf advantage
when in the course of moving forward
. to look back and survey the ground
just covered, see our mistakes and
shortcomings, just where we failed
to deliver the goods required of us,
and prepare to remedy these defects
The Tar Heel for the past quarter
has endeavored to give the student
body the best service possible, and it
has been with this aim in view that
the board has worked. The news as
given to the students was'always se
cured as soon as possible and put in
the best form. It is with the purpose
of making the Tar Heel a truly rep
resentative college paper; reflecting
the best that there is in the life of the
University, speaking for those things
which are typical of a real Carolina
man, and publishing the news of a
great student body whose official or
gan it is, that the board of the paper
faces tha future. The Tar Heel is
your paper. Thus you have a right
to criticize it, but do not stop there,
bring your criticisms to the proper
sources, which will consider them
fairly. To reflect the thought and
make public the happenings of over
fourteen hundred people is no small
task. Such is the task that the paper
must perform and such is the task
that it will perform. Errors and mis
takes are not uncommon to human
beings. The directing force of the
Tar Heel is but a collection of such
persons, who by virtue of their make
up, are subject to such mistakes and
errors. This fact must be reckoned
with." Do not think that the only
channel thru which news and mat
, ters of interest can reach the paper
is the board alone, if you have or
know anything the knowledge of
which would interest the student body,
then take the initiative and send it in
to the editorial staff. Confident that
it has the support of the student
body the Tar Heel will ever strive to
render greater service to that stu
dent body and will ever strive typify
ing what it conceives to be the real
Carolina spirit, and to meet the needs
of an ever increasing student body.
MAKE USE OF IT
It has always been the custom of
the Tar Heel to run a column which
contains expressions and ideas re--
lating to the different phases of col
lige life ' written by any student de
siring to do so, known as the Student
Forum. The good results that this
exchanging of ideas and impressions
has worked is sufficient proof of the
value of running such a column. There
are always more things seen and
ideas born where large bodies of peo
ple are gathered together. All phas
es and aspects of college life are an
alyzed and criticized by the people
who make up that college. Some have
good ideas and offer good criticisms
in regard to the general condition of
affairs, while others meet with no
such success. Different men see the
same thing in a different light. Yet
all of these diverse opinions tend to
the development of the general good
of the subject under fire. Many
things, such as class athletics, have
been benefited by criticisms published
thru the channel of the Student For
um. To be concrete the Student For
um should be and is the pulse of Uni
versity student life. What the mass
of the students feel and think about
questions and things of vital college
interest is expressed in the Student
Forum. If you have a .criticism or
suggestion as to how a certain thing
is carried on, or if you have some
idea that you think could be used to
an advantage by the student body,
then give utterance to it thru the
Student Forum column. It is yours.
Make use of it.
A THING OF GREAT
POSSIBILITY
Beginning with last October when
the University opened plans were per
fected and gotten under way by the
Athletic Committee of the Campus
Cabinet for the development of a
form of student activity up to that
time rather neglected and carried on
without any definite organization sup
porting it class athletics. All men
desiring to amuse themselves by
means of wholesome and vigorous
games cannot make the varsity or
higher teams of that nature, ' thus
naturally this desire creates a need
for some form of minor athletics, and
in providing for this need class ath
letics has been used. There is no bet
ter and stronger influence for the cre
ation of healthy and vigorous athle
tics, and a fine class spirit, than the
influence which is the outgrowth of
class athletics. If you do not play on
your class or dormitory team go out
and root for it and in doing so identi
fy yourself with the fighting cohorts
representing you. The class and in-tra-mural
athletic program for the re
mainder of the term -consist of such
games as soccer, baseball, and bas
ketball. In these games the students
will have ample opportunity to satis
fy their athletic thirst and contribute
to the success of a worthy undertak
ing. The University has endorsed the
development of class athletics by
going so far as to appoint a special
instructor and supervisor for the
work. He can practically do nothing
without the interest and support of
the classes and students as a whole.
If this year is a success for the work
then next year will very nearly be
the same way, for one good turn helps
another. The. success .of class ath
letics should be an assured thing.
YET ANOTHER CHANCE
The fall Quarter has been finished.
Exams are over and we now begin
the second quarter's work. To the
new men the past quarter was a tre
mendously important one. Thev have
seen the machinery by which a Uni
versity of 1,400 students is run, and
as president Chase said in chanel.
they havt lived thru from Alpha to
Omega the normal peace time quar
ter of college life and routine.
The new quarter begins with a new
feeling, a better feeling of friendship
and fellowship among the students.
especially between the old men and
the new. We begin with a clean page
this quarter's work.
The man who made a "5" or a "6".
or in some cases the man who failed
on everything has a chance to re
deem himself. It's no disgrace to
lail on a course in college, but it is
to quit and leave evervthinp1 his-h
and dry on the road to flunkdom.
ine professors have not deliberately
handed out the "5's" or "6's" without.
a reason. So find that reason. Be
assured they will do all in their pow
er to help you "stage a comeback."
If you nave flunked on a course, don't
give up. Be a good sport: take the
blame yourself and absorb it, don't
allow it to absorb you.
On the other hand the men who
have just passed or the men with
Phi Beta Kappa grades have just as
great an incentive to work during the
next quarter. There is always a
chance to better one's self and one's
scholarship standing.
The past quarter has been an un
usually successful one in athletics,
both in the varsity ' football and in
.class. Mass athletics have begun and
are making rapid and successful pro
gress. But we look forward to the
new quarter with bright hopes for a
still more successful record in athle
tics. At a recent meting of the Nu
Delta Phi law fraternity the follow
ing were initiated: E. K. Proctor, W.
D. Harris, J. V. Baggett, W. C. Feim
ster, Jr., Frank 0. Ray, Z. V. McMil

STUDENT FORUM
FRESH AIR
There are some class rooms on the
campus, especially in Peabody, which
are not furnished with a natural and
automatic ventilating system. For
some reasons this is very fine. It
saves the radiators from harsh and
unsympathetic criticism, it saves
time, for the instructor does not find
the class roosting on the said radia
tors, 'and have to wait for them to
assemble, and last but not least, it
provides for the accumulation of all
hot air produced on previous classes.
Strangely enough, after the. tempera
ture has been raised with difficulty to
a high degree by the successive ef
forts of about four foreign language
classes their labor is not appreciat
ed. For when a class of different na
ture psychology, for example, occu
pies the room one is sure to find the
air so uncongenial that he gets reck
less and raises some windows. This
the room is reduced to the tempera
ture of a cold storage plant. On the
other hand, if the windows are not
raised how is a person to combat the
advances of Morpheus, together with
the pangs of hunger so as to take
down ten pages of notes ? We there
fore urge the first four classes which
occupy a room to suffer a little for
the general good and allow a window
to remain partly, open in the hope
that the radiators will grow larger
some day.

WINTER QUARTER OPENS

(Continued from Page 1)
had ever been required to hold before.
A slight relief in class room space
which also has been overcrowded has
been afforded by the throwing open
for us of parts of Phillips Hall, the
new physics and engineering build
ing. Although the building is not
completed, certain rooms are avail
able for use and the work in civil
and electrical egineering and in draw
ing is now being done in the new quar
ters. Upon completion, Phillips Hall
will also contain the physical labora
tories and space for much of the work
in mathematics.
Another change which has been
hailed with enthusiasm by the return
ing students as well as the townspeo
ple of Chapel Hill is the opening of
the new post-office. , Some work re
mains to be done on that building too
but Postmaster R. S. MacRae was so
anxious to get in his new" quarters
that he went in anyway. The old
postoffice was in a one-room building
and at mail time it was so crowded
that it was difficult to get to the box
es. The new building, when finished,
will be one of the most complete as
well as one of the most attractive
looking buildings in Chapel Hill.
The faculty of the University re
mains the same for the winter quar
ter as during the fall, with the ex
ception of one addition, Mr. S. S.
Jenkins has been added to the depart
ment of Chemistry as instructor. Mr.
Jenkinsis & graduate of Trinity Col
lege and has taught at Emory Uni
versity in Georgia. He has lately re
turned from service with the A. E. F.
n France and brings with him to
Chapel Hill a French bride. The
marked increase of students study
ing chemistry made it necessary to
obtain further additions to the teach
ing force. , Every bit of laboratory
space in the Chemistry building is
now in use every day until late in the
afternoon.
New courses in music will be given
by Professor Paul J. Weaver this
quarter. It i3 the first time in the
first time in the University's history
that courses in music have actually
been offered as ' work for a degree.
The courses are in the fundamentals
and appreciation of music, and they
mark the definite beginning of what
University officials hope will develop
into a school of music.

STUDENTS IN ROMANCE DEPT.
(Continued from page one)
the decreased enrollment in the Uni
versity, the Romance language de
partment lost only seven students."
In 1918 the government assumed
full charge of courses in this depart
ment and the enrollment jumped up
to 545 in French. No Spanish was
given. The course in French had a
distinctly military background and
instead of three hours a week sched
ule of former years, a five-hour week
was instituted. After the signing of
the armistice the courses were read
justed to meet peace conditions.
Spanish was started again and all
courses were made more practical
than in former year and emphasis was
laid on the speaking of the languages.
The Tar Heel succeeded in "pass
ing" the first quarter your check
will do much to save it from a "six"
in the second. Subscribe.

PRITCHARD-BRIGHT COT
With Apologies to Pepys
Up and to breakfast at 7:30, being
awakened by "Rastiis" singing "Al
coholic Blues" under window as he
picked up paper. Away thence to
Alumni and did notice that those who
came down walk from the west had
wet hair and did marvel greatly, not
knowing that they belonged to H0
frat. Having looked at my watch on
class was straightway asked three
questions which was unable to answer.
Thence to chapel where notices were
read by a student wishing to fill the
vacancy in the Yellicution depart
ment. Back to room and did find
seven freshmen with Spanish books
talking of dancing with seventy girls
and giving a sketch of each girl.
Thence to Library where I observed
a bowl of narcissus foretelling early
marriages and a line forming to read
the new copy of Judge. To dinner
and Post Office where someone did
step on my toe. By and by kicked
football with my other toe behind
South and decided that a wife was
necessary to sew on buttons. To
supper and back under stars sparkling
like Christmas, walked under bunches
of mistletoe on the maples alone.
Was mightily troubled while trying to
study and did resolve to join the so
ciety so as to learn how to get some
one told. To bed, and, anon, heard
something fall with a clattering noise
then angry voices in the darkness.
Univertity Receives Medal
From Paris University
The University of North Carolina
has recently received from the Uni
versity of Paris a large bronze medal
given in appreciation of the work
that Carolina did in the World War.
The medal is a very handsome one.
It is about six inches in diameter, is
made of bronze, and bears a Latin in
scription setting forth the nation's
appreciation of the service rendered
in the great conflict. One side of the
medal carries a picture of several old
buildings on the campus of the Uni
versity of Paris. The other side dis
plays a likeness of the goddess of
Justice.
