IN LOVING MEMORY.
We are not among those who are continually trying to classify the
minutest events of our life in terms of "Carolina spirit" or "Lack of Caro
lina spirit." To our mind that would be blasphemy springing from a fail
ure to appreciate the content of "the spirit of Carolina."
But those who erected over the mound of mud before the Library the
cross bearing the inscription "In loving memory of the Carolina spirit" and
bedecked the mound with green twigs were of two possible classes; they
were either of the class to whom the phrase is a mere hollow expression,
and .who, because of their inability to grasp its fullness of meaning have
done no ham because of their imbecility. For them we should return a
verdict of "Oh, Lord, forgive them for they know not what they do." Or,
they were men who do in some measure appreciate the significance of the
phrase, and who, because they have performed this act, are guilty of the
lowest crime. They would not make of this campus a place of refinement
would make of it a refuge for. others of their kind who would eat the
bread from their Master's hand, and spend their life in riotous living to the
detriment of the Master whose fullness of life they gave freedom to destroy,
rising as their license their own littleness and lack of appreciation of this
great institution which men have struggled a century and a quarter to
build here.
But whatever class they come from, something has happened which
challenges our attention. If the perpetrators are of the first class if they
are simple and know not that they are simple, then in the name of Caro
lina we should teach them. If they are of the iatter class if they would
tear down and do it deliberately, then in the name of Carolina we should
either bring them into a fuller recognition of the falsity of their position,
enabling them to live a fuller life because of a new vision, or else relegate
them to the scrapheap of their kind. There is no place for them in our life
as they stand, and if they can't be lifted up, they should be cast out.
In either of these events, action is called for. It is high time that those
responsible for the standard of the campus consciousness should bestir
themselves into a full. realization of the existing situation, and a lifting of
men from this stage of lethargy and recklessness into which they have re
cently sunk. This requires vision, initiative, and ability of a high order.
Can the campus produce this; or will it be choked to death because there
is not a man here who can meet the situation? We ask this with a seri
ousness that borders upon fear. '
FROM OUR LEVEL UP.
A young alumnus of the University writes us, "Why don't you fel
lows organize a student band down at the Hill? Soon the spring ball season
will be on, and a band is the heart of the student body's support of the
team."
Last fall, after the pronounced presence of the A. & E. band at the
Fair Football game, and the pronounced absence of a Carolina band, we
raised this question of the need of a band. A few days later we received
a letter from the head of the Department of Music assuring us that a band
would soon be organized.
We haven't heard of it yet. We couldn't find anyone on the campus
today who had heard it, or heard of it. The Music Department is continu
ally complaining because the student body does not support it in bringing
good musical programs here. It seems to us that the falling down of the
department in failing to organize a band is about as bad as that of the
students in failing to support financially the programs of highly skilled art
ists which it has brought here. And worse, for this reason:
A band furnishes music to the natural gait of this campus, and its
appreciation of music. This admission may be scorned by thoBe. who pro
nounce all that which is over their head good in order to keep from appear
ing "green." And if it is the solemn task of the Department of Music to
develop here a taste for fine music as we believe it is, it seems to us that
they should begin where they can receive a hearing, and then slowly work
ing upward. When you start a boy in mathematics you begin with arith
metic and not with trigonometry or calculus. And so while we are furn
ished with these really fine programs of clever artists which have been
brought to us, we also want some that we can comment on and feel at home
in our criticism. And then there comes in the question of mass meetings,
athletic events, etc., when a student band is needed.
There is plenty of material here from which to organize a band. With
out any financial backing, and under student direction we had an excellent
band here before the present Department of Music was organized. And
now, if it wants to serve, and appeal to the masses; let it work with the
niassfs, giving something that we want; and then the masses will line up
behind the finer things that they should learn how to appreciate.
The Editor of The Tar Heel :
I would appreciate the use of space
in The Tar Heel as the best means of
getting a message from the Univers
ity to every one of the fourteen hun
dred campus citizens. The message
I would present is just this:
There come times in the adminis
tration of every enterprise when the
executives and directors take coun
sel with the stockholders in order to
properly forward more successfully
the common endeavor. Such meet
ings inform the stockholders of the
state of their interests and guide the
directors in the decisions necessary
to their part of the job,
In a similar way matters of Uni
versity concern make advisable at
this time a similar counselling to
gether. The faculty has formulated
a new schedule. Holidays are for the
use of the student and the faculty
wants the students to think with
them on this matter. The president
of the University is charged with the
preservation and . beautification of
state buildings and grounds. Pres
ident Chase wants the thoughtful co
operation of every University man in
this matter of University concern.
Every man must assume his por
tion of responsibility. To do this,
every man must know the facts.
And all must think out together and
work out together a common plan.
The University considers this con
ference sufficiently important to put
aside all classes for the hour that
every man may be present. The
University gives an hour. Fairness
demands that each of us give the
same.
Assembly hour and the place will
be announced later. Please watch
for that announcement.
