DIPLOMAT BURCH
In a far cornenr of - the Alumni.
cellar, a stream of students flock
daily to pour, out grievances I and
angry complaints about such import
ant problems as lost keys, bum radi
ators, lazy janitors and expect inM
-mediate redemption of the wrongs in
tlicted upon them. How JR. L.'-Burch,
Superintendent , of Buildings' and his
assistants, manage, to give their irate
callers a hearing day in and day out
without losing their collective good
natures is '; a mystery. They listen
caimiy and politely to each complaint,
- promise action, and then pusher in
" the next guest. . They7 never lose
their equilibrium ind 'are alnava din

This annoying routine' would tend
to make a normal man sour on hu
manity in general and on college
students in particular. But such is
not the case with Messrs. Burch and
the folly of disregard for property,
getting less troublesome as time
passes and that they are showing
an increasing respect for Universi
ty property; "With the abolishment
of the damage fee several years ago,"
said Mr. Burch, "there has been a
decided decrease in damage to Uni
versity property. The boys are be
ginning to realize that injury to dor
mitories, broken windows, defacement
of walls, etc., puts them to an incon
venience fully as much as the Univer
sity. By making each man directly
responsible for the damage incurred
in his room, we have made them nee
clearly they always show a desire to
When the rules are explained to them
clearly thye always show a desire to
do their part to prevent needless dam
age." This statement is an encouraging
sign that an increasing repV; tt.r
he appearance of dormitories is tak
ing hold of Carolina students.; Dur
ing the fall quarter very few bills
were issued to students for injuries
dene to rooms, and these bills were
met promptly. Little credit or pub
lit'ty has been thrown on Mr. Burch's
tffice simply because he never .souftht
it in the volume of his daily duties.
His work, which is perhaps 'as im
portant as any in the University ma
chinery, is nothing startling; it is
rather detailed and trying, but
th-ouh it all Burch and hU helpers
seem to derive a lot of fun an! gen
uinely enjoy their contact with er
ratic students.
HONOR SYSTEM
Sometime ago the Honor System
was given a severe slap when a loud
wail went up that the apple stands
operated by self-help students were
being robbed wholesale. An observ
ant student saves the situation by
swearing that just before the holi
days he saw a mangy -lookins muje
attached to the Chapel Hill, express
wagon helping himself liberally to
the box of apples with no apparent
tremor of consciences. In fact he
appeared ts be peeved that more ap
ples weren't donated. So hereafter
we can place the blame on four leg
ged creatures.

With this highly original begin

hence all ready to raise sand. But
unlike that dear old bird we have no

raised to attain immortality. , How

GEOLOGY CLUB MEETS
... The Geology Club held a very In
teresting meeting -in the New East
building last Thursday -night. Frank
Swartz read a good paper reviewing
Spur's "Ore- Magna." In it he dis
cussed "various theories-which have
been advanced in an effort to explain
ore deposits during the three periods
of geological history; namely, the
historic, the speculative, and. tho
scientific periods. He wound up by
talking on the latest theory which has
bscn, advanced, ; the - Magmatic Dif
ferentiation theory, which was re
cently advanced by a leading geolo
gist of this country.
The next meeting of the Geology
Club will be held on January. 24 at
7:00 P. M., in New East building. Mr.
Gerald MacCarthy will read an orig
inal paper on "The . " Formation of
Laccolith," and also a resume of Jab
oratory experiments done by him.

To all forwards;
who are playing
"rpiIE little fellow litisn't got the reitch. Why
don't they put him at forward where he
belongs?" You have heard comment like that
about some mis-positioned player.
Just look out they don't talk that way about,
you not in athletics but in your field of work
. after college.
The world is full of doctors who should have
been lawyers, and lawyers who should have
been writers men who can't do their best work
because they haven't got the reach.
You still can avoid their haphazard choice of
a career. Some earnest thinking on the subject,
"What do I really want to do in life?" will
help you decide right.
That's a real problem. Get all the advice you
can from the faculty, from alumni, from men
in business. If you find you have made a false
start, change now and save yourself a lot of
grief for once you graduate into a profession,
the chances are you'll slay in it.
