TEAMS ENDS A SUC CESSFUL SEASON The accomplishment of the track team at the invitation meet held at the University of Virginia brought to a close the University's most sue . cessful track season. Th team has cone through the season winning every meet except the last one in which they placed sec ond. This last achievement is- prob ably the greatest single attainment of the team during the season. Ihe men put up a good fight against heavy odds and came out second only to the strong Virginia : University squad. Virginia's track team has won fame even in the North and it was expected that this Tar Heels would hardly place more than two or three men against the strong teams repre sented at Charlottesville. Coach Bob Fetzer and his men have worked hard 'all during tha sca- Ron and have deservedly won the in terest and praise of the student body. When Coach Bob came here three seasons ago, he set about to develop :iM( in trnrk athletics. W .111 lutciva. . - - remember his pleadings with the stu dents to come out for track and with the student body for their interest in the events. In this short time he has ot only developed an interest in track athletics here and in the state but he haa put out one of the best teams in the South. ' With a few comparatively inetf nerienced men he has turned out a team that has left in "its wake such teams as Clemson, Georgia, South Carolina, N. C. State, V. P. I., Wash-ino-tnn and Lee and others. Several state records have been shattered and nfhora eniialled. Such a record as this deserves especial recognition by the campus. While we have praised the coach, the men who have gone out for track and who have trained with daily con sistantcy, deserve .much credit. A number of these , men will return next year and together with the men who come up from Coach Millicam's freshman squad, prospects should be greater than ever. General opinion is that the South will never be able to turn out track athletes who will be able to com pete with Northern trackmen.: But if the sport rises in the next few years in proportion to its phenomi nay rise of the past few years our Northern friends will have to cope 'ith Soutlhernerg on the cinder path before the national collegia!? yscords. can be set. UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS PUT CHECK ON BAD CHECKS Elsewhere in the paper there is a story announcing just what steps the University officials are taking jn re gard to the bad check situation. The article was not written by a report er, it came from the office of the President and is published without change. The officials, are taking some dras tic steps in dealing with this mat ter of bad checks. Such steps are not only needed .hut are even neces sary to cope with the situation. Merchants in town have had large numbers of checks returned to them daily because of insufficient funds. A large number of these checks are due to carelessness on the part of stu dents in keeping within their allow ances. But whatever the cause and how urgent the need for the money no student should give a check, know ing at the time that it will not be honored. When the merchant . or the bank cashes the student's check, it is done as a favor and as a matter of good will to. the student. When such a state of affairs comes to pass that merchants will not acknowledge a check, then it is high time that some action were taken by some agency in the University. It seems, to us that the problem lies in the sphere of the student council. However this body of men did not do much to eliminate the evil and so the University offi cials had to take up the problem. . The check that the administration is placing on the bad check situation should prove effective. When a man is reported for having a check that is returned for insufficient funds he will be suspended from all classes. On the second offense his name will be reported to the student council and a recommendation made for dismiss al. With such drastic steps as this there should not be much further trouble caused by returned checks. A CHANGE IN FORM With the present issue the Tar ncel appears dressed more in the fashion of a regular newspaper that is, on newsprint instead of on the coated "book paper" that has become customary with college periodicals. This comes about as the result of the production of a few specimen copies in such form not long ago and the favorable verdict they won from a number of persons to whom they were submitted, both students and members of the faculty. Newsprint is less costly than book .. . ' . 1 J A paper, cut tnat wouia noi leuu us iu make the change if we considered that the Tar Heel would become less acceptable to its readers. . We are convinced, from the opinions gather ed, that it will not be. From its very nature a . newspaper, even the best one, is an extremely short-lived product, read rapidly and cast aside, with one issue treading closely upon the heels it the one be fore. This means that there is not the same reason for its using the thicker and heavier stock that is used for books and magazines, and it would appear that a college gemi-weekly can well afford to be printed on a ouality of paper that js good enoujrh for the London Daily man, me .mew York Times, and the Chicago Inbun Since the Tar Heel turned from a eeklv to a semi-weekly, naturally it aspires to approach more nearly tr.e character of newspapers ot the out side world, and we feel that we are not making a mistake to adopt the approved newspaper style thing. clo- FRATERNITIES INITIATE The Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity recently initiated the following men: S.

Zeh mer and Miss Nellie Robertson of the Extension Division are attending the meeting ' of the National University Extension Association in Madison, Wis.- : Mr. R. A.

OPEN FORUM A critic has arisen "A Daniel come to Judgment! yea, a Daniel: 0 wise young critic, how I do honor thee!" With Tare and marvelous dexterity doth he deal blow after blow verily he is of the seed of Mencken. With Rusldn's clear "and lucid English doth he set forth matchless jems of. criticism; but I wonder what he means by this: "If Concerning Optomists ( I retain his spelling, it is doubtless the latest) was written with humorous intent, it probably would have been better if seriously and vice versa.!' A cred it to the University, of inestimable value to the field' of American criti cism, 0 most excellent young critic how is it that thou art content to conceal the flame of thy genious in this rustic. backwater? Very erudite,, this critic; but pos sibly he would do wisely, if he should acquaint himself with ' the " manner isms of the editors, who put the Mag azine together, before attempting to criticise it after it has been put to gether. ; Should he do that, perhaps he would learn that it is an editorial custom to place a descriptive line or two beneath the title of every article, The writer of "Honor," at least, has told me that he was -never so foolish as to express the belief that his story would mean "much or nothing to its readers." Now this "Honor" is an absurd, fantastic story; but why not say so, instead of expressing a suspicion that Mr. Clement is guilty of both Plato and Elinor Glyn? The critic is doubtless well versed in El inor Glyn's works; that he knows his Plato equally well is to . be conjee tured, ;,:7''.;:'y :-;:v : '"'',';,,: Very learned, this critic; he can actually pick out the two best things that have appeared in the Magazine for some time ("The -Plucked" and "The Charm of the Caribbean") and say that they are "really delightful."

Again it is to be conjectured whether or not he is capable of telling wherein lies the delight. "College and After" he denotes as "almost a pagriarihm (j fear to depart from' the spelling of so schooled a man) of Masters." But why? why? -how can we, the, un learned masses, bo supposed to be lieve that unless he shows us why? An incompatible critic, this man; and he ends his unsurpassable article in a manner truly-worthy of himself. He is speaking of editorials "but in the editorial running under Certain Officials: to presume to censure the powers that be. How could you George? Art headed Cnbellward?" Another instance of his deep know ledge; I am delighted to learn from him that editorials have a habit of running.
