nothing. It's the safest, most paying proposition from a standpoint con

simply launch into the future for one time. We can afford to back forward.

PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Sixteen representatives will be present in Chapel Hill on Saturday to
perfect a .North Carolina Collegiate Press Association. We trust that be
fore the date of the meeting, it may have become possible for every col
lege magazine or newspaper in the state to have arranged to have a repre
sentative here. This movement, if its potentials ever come to be realities,
can be of almost inestimable value to the college publications of the state,
and finally its very workings will be the continuous fight for the cause of
higher education that must go on incessantly.
We had as well recognize the fact that in vast sections of North Caro
lina talk about "the cause of higher education" has positively no meaning.
Frequently we sit in Chapel Hill and fool ourselves when we talk of doing
something for "all the people of the state," when at best, perhaps, we are
reaching only ten or fifteen per cent of the people. And the very bone of
the life of a great part of our people is the taxes which they have to pay.
To say to them that your taxes must be raised five or ten per cent in order
to contribute to the cause of higher education, is like a hand reaching out
of the dark and making a demand upon them.: And then in high-flown
language we choose to sit back and talk about the failure of the people to
do a certain thing.
And when these people bestir and interest themselves in our problems
of education, and when they" come to consider the colleges of the state-
what do they behold? For all purposes to those' people the colleges that
should be working for a common end are fighting each other. In our minds
such a condition does not exist, but we are now interested in the people of
the state that we are commonly wont to talk about They rave frequently
teen told that a certain one is good, while another is nothing more than a
hopper to feed people into Hell.
Now here is the issue: How can we expect the people of the state
to support the denominational colleges, how can we expect the private
sources to support their institutions, how can we expect the State Legis
lature, which if true to its ideal, reflects in a large measure when the people
of the state desire, to support the state institutions? If .nlW a
women can't realize the condition, and master the situation, how much less
we expect oi toe people back home? Today we present to those peo
ple the spectacle of the colleges fighting each other. We want to give to
the state the spectacle of all the colleges working together for a common
end.
This means co-operation among the colleges. Co-operation means
familiarity with and interest in. Familiarity with and interest in can't be
grown without information of. And here's where the collegiate press asso
ca ion comes in as a medium of transforming petty antagonisms, and mis
understandings into co-operation and understanding w
and women must master the situation, before we can expect any super thing
of the state And until we do this we can hold nothing against our people
ho may not seem to respond equally with us in the cause -of more ade
quate educational faclities for the State of North Carolina. ,
THE PRESENT CLASH.
We find ourselves at variance with the gentleman who wrote in the
I- orum column a couple of issues ago, and suggested that the University
stop the fight for the budget.it submitted to the legislature. What the
T tu I vT affrd t0 give tt' bdt for University
to stop the fight now is to openly admit 'that it does not really mean What

PUBLICATION WORK CREDIT.
At The Tar Heel banquet, Dean Greenlaw, while not making any con
crete suggestion as to method, gave expression to the idea that the English
department was ready to see men who work on the several publication
Loards receive credit for their work. We are not in. favor of the Uni
versity in any way lowering its standard, but here is a place where it can
actually raise its standards, recognize and direct the effort that these pub
lication men are expending, and do the publications a very genuine turn.
All of these are for the good of the University; raising the standard, rec
ognizing legitimate effort and accomplishment- of the men, and of opening
the way for the publications to go forward. The latter is no unimportant
consideration.
The standard will be raised in that the publications can actually be a
working laboratory for. the men who are taking the work of journalism
(for those on the editorial end), and practical business laboratory for t.hp
School of Commerce (for those on the business end) of any of these sev
eral publications. Today a number of the men on The Tar Heel board are
taking Professor Hibbard's English 27. They are learning journalism, and
learning it in a way that it will remain theirs. And at the same time the
worK these men arc doing for the publication is far and away better than
that they were doing before they entered this course.
And these publications me a product of University life, and they
either reflect credit on the University, or involve the University in the same
cisgrace as themselves, as the case may be.. Thse publications have a vast
field before them in which to expand, but they can do it'in no way so suc-
cessiuily as they can if the men producing them are actually studying in
this field on their classes, and have the continued co-operation of the Uni
versity faculty.
We should like to urge that those interested in this see that the fac
ulty takes some action on this proposition before the miestinn i m0a
the men who are to man these boards for the coming year. The Tar Heel
is now receiving some very genuine co-oneration from om f ,.,,
bers, but it could use them more completely if it felt that is not imposing
on some of those who are willing to co-operate. Let's straighten the whole
matter up and get together.
credit but that of 1,400 other men.
So the council insists that this prac
tice be discontinued. If you haven't
a balance sufficient to cover the check,
it is always best not to write it until
you have.
The men who have seeming
ly made a practice of this last
quarter can be limited to fifty or less,
wd we submit that it is not fair to
the other 1,350 men in the Univer
sity for this to continue. Student
sentiment will not tolerate it. and the
council hopes that the rest of the year
will be free from such a practice.

the same manner, so when Lacey
pays her attention, she reciprocates
with the inevitable result that they
run away. But luckily she returns
the same day, thus saving her honor,
and making possible her return to

BAD CHECKS
The student council, in order to
stop the practice of passing bad
checks by University students, adopt
ed the policy of handling all such
checks for the merchants.
During the fall quarter a consider
able number of checks were given
to merchants, through carlessness or
for other reasons, which came back
because of no deposit or overdrawn
bank accounts. All of these were
made good except those of a very few
boys, who were before the council
last week. f:
Now the fact that 95 per cent of
these checks are made eood at the
first notice shows that very few
checks are passed intentionally. But
it- still remains that when these
checks are given and returned be
cause of no funds, the pond
and honesty of Carolina students is
injured. When a man gives a check
that is returned he not onlv hurts
his own reputation and ability to get
AT THE PICKWICK
On Wednesday the feature at the
Pickwick will be the Metro produc
tion, "The Price of Redemption."
Bert Lytell is the star.
Dorothy Dalton plays a trinle role
in "Black is White," a new photo
play produced by Thomas H. Ince.
The motionplay is adapted front the
celebrated novel by George Barr
McCutcheon. It is a strange and al
luring tale of devotion, iealousv.
mistaken identity, and sensational
icenes in New York and Paris. It is
the story of a man who married his
own wife.
On Friday Maurice Tourneur pre
sents "Deep Waters" from the novel,
"Caleb West, Master Diver," by F.
Hopkinson Smith, and from the play
by Michael Morton. The scenes of
"Deep Waters" are laid along the
New England coast. The action re
volves for the greater part around
the girl wife of Caleb West, an ex
pert deep-sea diver who is working
on the foundations of a lighthouse.
She tastes the fires of love when she
nurses young Lacey back to health
after his injury while working on the

Another witness ascribed this de
lay in construction of the dormitory
to the employment of a consulting
architect.
Dr. Chase and Mr. Woolen were
in Raleigh the past week attending
the trustees' meetiner and testifvim?
in the case of the state architect.
In its meeting last week the
trustees adopted the following reso
lutions:
"Whereas, the Budget Commission,
in reporting its recommendations for
the taiilding programme of the Uni
versity, felt obliged, because of the
statute under which it was operating,
to confine itself to a recommenda
tion concerning the building needs
of the University for the next two
years,
"And whereas, the full buildine-
programme of the University, as so.
proved by the Trustees in special
session on December thirtieth, is a
programme intended to be spread
over a series of years, and has there
fore not been passed on by any legis
lative body.
"Be it, therefore, resolved by the
Board of Trustees of the Universitv
that the President of the University
and the Legislative Committee of the
Board be and hereby are instructed
to present this full building pro
gramme to the proper committee nt
the General Assembly now in session,
and to request the General Assembly
to provide at this session funds tn
carry out the full programme of
?o,o85,000."
