Nobody in Chapel Hill knows; not even Post master Herndon and the wisest heads in the faculty. The most logical step is to enlarge the building and make room for more boxes, but this can not be done without a congressional appropriation. Since Congress does not meet until December, and govern ment wheels move slowly, no imme diate action could be obtained. A building , containing., a ...thousand boxes might be thrown up on the campus, operated by the University to care for student mail, but the com plications arising from this plan and the time necessary for its establish ment make it unpractical. The same applies to delivery service for each dormitory: Government red tape and post office regulations have tied the hands of the faculty and the local post master who anticipated the present situation but were powerless to make adequate preparations. As a result, six regular clerks are working like Trojans ten hours a day, and one thousand students stand in long, slow moving lines stretching to the side walk. Prompt service is impossible, notices for meetings must be mailed several days ahead of time, and seri ous delays are caused in the outgoing and incoming mail schedules. All this has arisen because the post office was constru cted to accomodate a a small town of 1500 inhabitants with no consideration of a rapidly grow ing student population. At a recent meeting of the faculty Dean Royster was appointed to visit Washington and demand action from the post office authorities. To make his plea more effective, the Tar Heel suggests that he take with him a pic ture of the noon rush for mail la belled: North Carolina University students waiting for their mail, and it's a long wait. If the picture was well photographed, it would be more eloquent than words. A few minutes in chapel might be profitably devoted to the selection of a student committee to frame a set of resolu tions signed by Julian Allsbrook in behalf of the student body, President Chase, Mr. Woollen, Mayor Robersbn and Postmaster Herndon for Dean Royster to present at Washington. The . photographs ..and ..resolutions could also be sent to leading state papers and prominent state officials on the assumption that the louder the racket, the quicker the action. - If this course is followed, it must be acted on immediately for Deaa Royster will leave in a few' days. Certainly the situation is critical enough to warrant discussion in Me morial Hall. MANY WERE BALLED BUT FEW WERE CHOSEN Monday bight marked a temporary halt to fraternity, hostilities when some ninety men were initiated into the mystics and fellowship of the Greek letter realm: The battle for the new timber waxed warm and was not without its surprises. Now that the smoke has lifted with the honors fairly well apportioned, every o!d' fra ternity man will breathe a deep sigh of relief and relax from the tiring siege of paying court to debonair prospects. "Rushing" is costly, takes j valuable time, and is often annoying, but is an essential part of fraternity life. The initiates are fully as relieved that the ordeal is over, especially the short but impressive grave yard ac tivities. They now enter upon a new world of intimate associations, social privileges and prestige which may be their making or breaking. The man with the well-balanced mind will re gard its honor as a welcome oppor tunity to improve himself; he will see life as an exalted pinnacle of achieve- ment where he may raise himself above his classmates to whom the fraternal gates were not opened. His jewelled pin does not make him a bet terman, it merely throws opportunity in his path. Many students, who had eagerly hoped for bids, were keenly dissap pointed. In a large university where only 17 per cent of the student body are fraternity men, a great number af worthy men are necessarily over looked, and this is a significant argu ment for more chapters to be estab lished here. National organizations regard Carolina as a fertile field for expansion and are willing to give en couragement to struggling locals. This year will probably bring forth several additional, fraternities to swell the social membership, and pro vide fraternal privileges to many de serving students.

COLLEGE SPIRIT Since the war days of 1918 we have slipped from a high spirited group to a bunch of easy-going onlookers. This may be attributed to several things: the loss of the well organized military units or the departure of those high-spiriteded leaders, Frank Graham and "Scrubby" Reaves. Sev eral other causes may have helped to bring about this loss of spirit. It may be due to the fact that since the days of 1918 we have constantly put winning teams on the field. We may be unable to drum up sufficient enthu siasm when our team always wins. The spirit of the students is one, if not the greatest factor in the win ning of the game. If the team is losing ground, cheer all the more, for it is our team win or lose. It is just as vital to the students as a whole that the team wins as it is to the team itself, or even more so for they are representing the student body, and it is our moral duty to support them even though they go down in defeat. It is a good loser that always wins. The best organized unit in the world always meets its Waterloo sooner or later. They realize they have the bast in existence and allow themselves to slip into a slump. They lose spirit and then get licked. Now if a team loses while 2200 students sit oddly by with long faes and ut ter critical remarks it is a just return. Every student is or ought to be just as vitally interested in the team as the' players themselves. Express your enthusiasm the bast way you know how attend the pep meetings, be good sportsmen, and by all means be good losers. Cheer the losing team rather than jeer it, create a spirit of good sportsmanship and give the team your most hearty support. Show them that you are behind them and are willing to stay behind them until the end, prove to the team that you are for them win or lose and the team will guarantee more victories than defeats. It is but with the honest effort of every Carolina man that an unparal lelled spirit can be obtained. Let our motto be We may be beaten in scor ing but never in spirit. Remember N. C.

Soothes the throat. For Quality, Flavor and S the Sealed Package, Several of our right good friends took it upon themselves to tell us last week that our beloved Colyum was "rotten." And, do you know, we liked to hear that better than any thing else they could have said. We knew it was rotten, and we knew they meant it ; if they'd come around saying "Bravo" we'd have been seeing what we had that they could borrow, right away.

We must congratulate a newspaper that advertises: "A newspaper for! people who think," and then really lives up to its slogan by printing such stuff that a body needs must think, hard to figure out the meat from the rubbish in its columns.

Peabody Now Houses Educational Library The Educational Library has re cently been moved from the general library and placed in the Peabody Building, in the two rooms which were formerly occupied by the De partment of Rural Science and the School of Public Welfare. The room formerly occupied by the School of Public Welfare has been equipped with modern' library furniture for a reading room. By this change the School of Education has greatly in creased library facilities. In this li brary there are over two thousand bound volumes, and several thousand periodicals, school reports, etc. Here are to be found the most important books on Education printed in Eng lish, all the more important educa tional journals and periodicals, to which educational libraries are reg ular subscribers, and a large collec tion of state and city school reports. The Educational Library is open on week days from 9 A. M. to 1 P. M., and from 2 P. M. to 5 P. M.; and on week day evenings from 7 P. M. to 10 P. M. Davidson and Elou opened the grid season in the South Saturday when they played the only inter-coi'legiate game in this section. As was ex pocted, Davidson defeated Elon but not by a particularly impressive score. Carboy's Christians held the Presby terians to three touchdowns and a score of 19-0. But Dame Rumor persists in tell ing us that W. F. C. is going to try to put one over on the University and is waxing boastful of her prospect of doing it. Due to the lateness of her opening the report has not been veri fied but it is current news that "Flash" Jeannette and "Bobby" Long, erstwhile of West Raleigh, have changed colleges and will attend Wake Forest this year and incidental ly play football.
