Artists t and car toonists will be taking their yearly wallop at the defenceless college college graduate. On our home town paper, for example, the cartoonist following a dear old custom of his that has long since grown whiskers, will draw a cartoon something Hke this: A very chesty young fellow in cap and gown and with the tra ditional pipe in his mouth that all seniors posess will be depicted walk ing up to Atlas who is evidently colory from the weight of the globe on his shoulders. Beneath his car toon a caption somewhat as follows will be added: "Go off and enjoy he climate bid man. I'm ready to carry to carry the world now." The old picture of the self-assured, complacent graduate still lingers. People in general don't seem to realize that the picture has changed. Illogically enough, the magazine writers and tho'se wonderful movies of college life as it is done Dtill persist in portraying a carefree, irresponsible existence on the part of the young collegian. With this kind of training they then turn to the portrait of the graduating fienior ready to carry the world on his shoulders. The popular magazine idea of the undergraduate doesn't seem to differ materially today from prevailing ideas twenty x years ago. The cut of our clothes is different and the large bulldog that once pulled us around has been supplanted by the SO II. P. roadster. Parties at "wayside inns" and annual affairs with the' "blond chorus girl" still figure prominently in our merry young lives. The world in short, is wise to all our devilish tricks. . i The pictures that many of us have on cur walls of the "bloody soph" with red socks, turned up hat, and heavy sweater which he wears all the time, while tossing the Fresh man in a blanket and the like, pictures which we look at with won der, as if from some barbaric age, doubtless characterize the point of view many people still hold toward University life in the "cloistered walls," (another phase dear to magazine writers) The fact that universities have become training places for intelligent citizenship seems to be overlooked. The fact that student bodies may be found, as in our own University, that are entirely self governing and self-expressive, that students them selves meet and settle the problems of their campus existence, that the student life runs under its own power and is conscious of its own existence, is not considered. Finally, the fact that the old irresponsible. Hah Rah who would cheer fully strip a townsman's picket fence of palings to put on the bonfire of victory has been supplanted by a student con scious of the responsibility of citi zenship in his University community is, for the most part, ignored. And the chesty, cock-sure grad uate, who is, strangely enough, the culmination of four years of modcap existence, tops off the gallery of fallacies. The senior approaches graduation with no such feeling today. He is usually a palled at his own colossal ignorance and knows that he has just started his educa tion. Instead of believing that he has already definitely settled all the problems that may come to him he recognizes his own limitations, and that his education is a life-long pro cess. And the University that can give this kind of stimulus justifies once and for all, the worth of a University training. The cartoonists and the writers have their conceptions inverted. A freshman in the self-satisfied frame a mind more nearly approaches their idea than the senior. While not afraid to tackle his job, and take up the burden of row ing his own boat, the average senior, we believe, approaches graduation in no self-assurred frame of mind. He will not approach Atlas and his burden in the breezy confident manner so often depicted, yet he is not at all averse to trying his hand with the burden. After all, Atlas at the present time isn't makjking a howling success of his job. A revo lution pops up and blisters his skin with5 discouraging frequency, and an organized labor with a rubber belly (at present) is not the least of his worries. You're growing old Father Atlas, growing old! With due medesty the Senior feels that this is his big chance. STUDENT FORUM This week concludes the first week of the TAR HEEL'S contest to secure members of the staff of reporters for next year. Only one more week remains. Assignments for next w-eek be will be posted fn the library and at the Y. M. C. A. If you want to make one of the places on the staff get busy! There are fourteen places to be filled. Turn in material by Tuesday night in the TAR HEEL box at the Y. M. C: A. or six Pett'grew. Freshmen, sopho mores and juniors are eligible for this contest. Univ. Professors Active In Various Fields- Dr. Sturgis E. . Leavitt, associate professor of romance languages at the University of North Carolina, who is on leave of absence in South America under the Sheldon travel ing Fellowship from Harvard has completed the first piece of work on which he is engaged, a biblio graphy of the literature of Chile, according' to - advices received at Chapel Hill. This work is intended as a guide to Chilean literature and includes short biographies of the best known Chilean authors, notes about their principal books, and criticisms from other South American authorities. Dr. Leavitt has been in Santiago for this work, and will go to Argentine and Uruguay, where he will conduct similar investigations.- These are regarded by scholars as extremely important as they will be the first complete reference books on South American literature for use by American students. Dr. Leavitt will return to Chapel Hill next fall where he will again head the department of Spanish.; ; Dr. Louis R. Wilson, editor of the Alumni Review, has gone to Ann Arbor, Mich., to deliver before the association of alumni secretaries an address on "An Enlarged Plan of Alumni Activity." Dr. Wilson is ' a member of the executive committee of the association. While at the University of Michigan he will also inspect ; the v new $750,000 student activities' building with a view to suggestions for the student activities building to be erected at the Uni versity with the Graham memorial fund. Thorndike Saville, professor of hy draulic engineering, has recently completed a survey of water power possibilities near Fayetteville and will submit this report this week to the Fayetteville chamber of com merce, advising whether the surveyed water power will be available for se by the city of Fayetteville for lighting and other purposes. WHY THE ATHLETIC FEE SHOULD BE INCREASED Realizing that the cost of equip ment has . advanced over 100 per cent, and that the University is now supporting a freshman team in all branches of athletics, it is felt that necessity demands an increase in the athletic fee of $1.66 2-3 per quarter, or five dollars for the year. This increase in athletic fee would be only a slight burden upon each individual student and would mean that the standard of our athletics, the number of games that students will be ablle to see, will be increased to a marked degree. The athletics at the University are maintained by the support of the students, and it is in their hands, it , is for them -1 osay how much athletics we shall have. If we desire to maintain our position as a num ber one college in athletics, this increase in athletic fees is necessary to the maintenance of that position for the sake of our athletics make it a point to vote for an increase in our athletic fee that we may be able to give more to all branches of athletics than we have been giving in the past, put out good freshman teams, which will be an incentive to get good players here for the fresh man teams and which means that the standard of varsity athletics will be raised to a much higher degree than at present. J. P. WASHBURN. If you see it in the farm papers it's sow. Certain gentlemen with the elixer of bounding youth no doubt coursing their views and calling up vague instincts of remote quadruped ances tors have taken it into their young heads to practice the great and noble game of baseball in the simi- quad rangle which has for two of its sides the new dormitories. Now this is undoubtedly a great game, and no one could possibly object to these young men enjoying their exercise were it not for one or two facts which we shall try as best we can to elu cidate upon. We wish to establish: that it is interfering with the pur suit of happiness of certain indi viduals for this practice to go on. lake the item of window lights. In one afternoon three panes were smashed to smithereens by the rather simple process of just throwing a ball through them. Another after noon two more were demolished, and on still another occasion the door- glass went the way of all the oarth together with a couple more window panes. Now these things are costly, and every one which is broken comes out the the general damage fee. Might we not therefore, reason from this that the man who breaks a glass through pure carelessness is, to say the least, very inconsiderate of his fellow citizens here in the Univer sity?, Might we not go still further and say that the man who thus destroys property in such a time as this is committing an act of van- dohsm which is deserving of the scorn of his fellows? Perhaps this is too strong, but it somehow strikes us as something unworthy of a citi zen of this campus; this destruction of property. And not only that, but imagine the feelings and relations of the man who with lights out and stores low goes to don his pink pajamas only to find seat of same brim full of broken glass. Consider it, Gent, and the next time you feel as though you simply must play ball remember we have athletic fields here for that purpose.

The costuming is being done by Miller-Costumier, of Phila delphia; real Japanese gowns, with their elaborate brocading and masses of gold and silver designing, will complete the delusion of transform ing fifty students into real Japanese characters. A surprising amount of real talent has been discovered in the producing of this comedy. The prin cipals have been very well cast, and are sure to make a big hit; a com parison between parts have been announced: Jimmie Howell as Nanki-Poo, the son of the Mikado disguised as a wandering minstrel in love with Yum- Yum. Mike Newman as Ko Ko, the Lord High Executioner of Titipu, also in love with Yum-Yum. LeGrand Everett as Pooh-Bah, the Lord High Everything Else. Charles as The Mikado. George Hunt as Pish-Tush, a Noble Lord. Aline Hughes as Yum-Yum, the much-sought heroine. Lou Shine as Petti-Sing, a sister to Yum-Yum. . Alma Stone as Peep-Bo, another sister to Yum-Yum. Mrs. G. A. Harrer as Katisha, an elderly lady in love with Nanki-Poo. Cy Thompson Says- To Ex-Service Men: President Wilson has signed the Sweet law recently passed by Congress, making many de sirable changes in the six per manent forms of Government Life Insurance. The choice of lump sum settlement to your estate is one of them. , Come in to see me in my of fice opposite the campus and learn in detail how you may re instate your lapsed policy or convert all or any , portion of yours. Unless you need additional coverage, particularly for pro tection to credit, we will not even discuss the advantages of the , superior service that the first-chartered purely mutual Amercian company offers over most commercial companies. Cyrus Thompson, Jr. District Manager JOHN W. FOSTER "BULLY" MASSENBURG College Agents "Perfection in Protection" "By meekness and ways unobtru sive," - Quoth the student who fitted the , bill, "I have failed to win honor, elusive It slips from ray grasp, and it ' : will." ' ' "What a wonderful man is Seth Goodno! .. A man of decision and power, A big man on the campus he's stood, so Would I be the man of the hour?" But Goodno. with cares overloaded. ! And pestered by critics galore Said, "This turmoil and strife has me gouded, I would that I were big no more!" This business of toiling and getting A knock for your efforts at best Has given Fair Fame quite a wet ting. O' that with the herd I might rest"' Thus each of these men put the label Of illusion and loss on their lot, I know it's a wonderful fable, Though just what it means, I do not.
