Numbers of Carolina students will be there to help the team along. The game with the Virginia fresh men here this afternoon should be a good game. Both the Carolina and Virginia first year teams hare made good records so far this year. The game should prove very interesting. Basketball practice begins next week. Carolina should have another winning combination on the hardwood court al though Carmichael, McDonald and Greene will be sorely missed. . College life is just one sport after the other. A man who goes out for three teams in the University over laps quite a bit in seasons. The foot ball season is not yet over and yet bas ketball has begun. Four letter men are tied up in the football team now and can't report until after the holi days. -. The state high school championship series is gaining interest as the teams in the two sections are bing narrowed down to the best ones. High school football has improved in quality very much in the past few years. Varsity athletics has picked up quite a bit since the high school program was put into effect some time back. casions arose where a band would have added greatly to the effectiveness. At a football game here there was no band at all to give the now couldn't-do-with out music. Upon occasions such as the Armistice- Day exercises, University Day exercises and at other times the need of a band was felt tremendously. When the State-Carolina football game was played over in Raleigh University students felt their Jack keenly when the N. C. State band marched out on the field just before the game began. ' Two years ago the University de- cided to secure a man to organize and direct a band. Money was spent for instruments and salaries to maintain such a hand. Mr. L. R. Sides was se cured for the job of getting a band on foot. He did so. To make a long story short we can look at the band tod,ay and therein see the measure of his success. Its success is due not only to his untiring efforts, but also to the co-operation of the student musicians who rallied to his wand. Today the band has come to mean the same thing as the ticking of a clock. We hardly noticed a clock un less it stops ticking. The band has not received its due sharof praise. When there is any occasion for the presence of the band it is usually there to liven up things with its harmony.- One of the features of the football games on the hill is the presence of the band. Music has always had its charms. Military forces have found it indispen- sible to creating and maintaining that thing called morale. All living crea tures respond to music. Now when we look back to the time when the Uni versity student body did not have a band, "we wonder how the campus got along. . So lets give due praise and honor to the band, not only to its efficient directory but to every single man who does anything from beat the big bass drum to the man who blows the little flute. EDITOR LOUIS GRAVES CUSSES OUT KICKERS Former Carolina Athlete Deplores "Croaking Chorus" Found Whenever Varsity Loses a Game. PAINTING UP BUILDINGS There are evidently a few men in the freshman class that have not been properly versed in the duty of keeping University buildings and property as free from defacements as possible. By illustration, we point out the painted 28's that have recently been painted on certain parts of the buildings on the campus. In the quadrangle on the top of one dormitory is several huge 28's painted on the red roof in white. Such disfigurement of the campus certainly does not become a state uni versity. It does not even become the proverbial prep school. University stu dents, although they might not be any thing more than first year men, should have better respect for the beauty and appearance of the campus. To disfigure the buildings gives them an appearance to strangers that is not at all befitting the 'institution. In the first place the buildings are lacking in the artistic enough as it is without defacing them with class figures. Such conduct has not been so much in evidence at the University and when a few cases do appear they are magni fied greatly by their very unusualness. This however is no argument that a lit tle painting up once in a while will hurt; it' should be sufficient reason why no defacing of University' buildings is to be desired here. THE BAND. There is one organization in the University that has done more consist ant work and has received less praise than probably any other organization. That is the band. A college generation ago students were lamenting the fact that the Uni versity did not have.a band, Many oc (From Chapel Mil Weekly) A rather depressing phase of inter collegiate sport is the disposition of many of the adherents of a team to engage in a croaking chorus as soon as their team begins to lose. And it is not apt to be the students who croak the loudest, but alumni. Not a great portion of the whole body, of course, but much in evidence. We have in mind particularly the Case of the University of North Carolina this season. Almost everywhere you turned until last Sat urday's victory oyer V. M. I. cheered their souls a bit you would hear alumni wailing about defeats. They told you the coaching was not what it ought to be, and you were given to understand, even though it was riot stated in so many words, that 'if 'the job were intrusted to them it would be done much better. These grandstand strategists! As long as their own teamts line holds, and their own backs plunge through or sweep around for large gains, they concede to the coaches and players a measure of wisdom. But just let tilings go wrong! Then you learn that the quarterback ought to have done thus and soj if he tries the line and fails he ought to have gone around the end and if lie tries a kick and misses it he ought to have tried a forward pass; and what's the matter with George Sparrow? and why in the hell don't they give the ball to Jack Mer- ritt? And so on throughout a ceaseless flow of advice and complaint. To put it briefly and brutally, some of the alumni and of course it is not more true of one institution's than an other's are what is known in the lan guage of sports as bad losers. They are not satisfied witli a fair share of vic tories. They don't want to win part of the time, but all the timer" Yet the very essence of good sport, f rom the specta tor's point of view, is the closeness of the battle. That is what gives the thrill. And, plainly enough, no team can be continually meeting teams of its own class and always come out victorious. Winning from V. M. J. Saturday over joyed us all.

A JOURNALIST OF THE OLD SCHOOL DROPS IN Pavs Gerald Johnson a Visit and -Watches Process of Manufac : turing Newspaper Reporters. The passing of the "old school" coun try newspaper editors those pioneers of journalism in the days that were, is to be lamented. However, every once in a great while,' one leaves his work and pays a visit to his good friends. O. J Peterson, of the Chatham Record, at Piltsboro, was on the Hill Thursday and while here paid a visit to Professor Ger ald Johnson and the class in Journalism. Mr. Peterson, a veteran newspaper man, represents that type of man who, in the "good old days", of the profes sion, was editor, proof-reader, composi tor, make-up man, pressman in short, the "whole works," in the getting out of that great palladium of the right of the people the country newspaper. While here primarily on personal busi ness, Mr. Peterson attended the class in journalism Thursday, and , volunteered various suggestions to the embryo news paper men (and women) composing the class. "The editor of a daily paper has the whole world to talk about j while in the field of country journalism, the edi tor must play the human interest, the personal, and the locally interesting side oi lite, -. Air. rcterson concluded. HOUDINI IS TO COME HERE NEXT FRIDAY Will Give Performance and Answer Questions About Things That Are Mystical and Mysterious. Houdini, who is appearing here under the joint auspices of the Carolina Play- makers and the Y. M. C. A., ranks as the world's greatest, magician and is be ing brought to the Hill at a high fee. He will give his performance in Memor ial hall' next Friday night, November 21. One of his tricks is to swallow- several dozen needles at one time and bring them to light again all threaded. But that is enly one of the many mar vels he presents. His program is divided into four parts: First, he tells about his experiences with celebrated mediums and how he exposed their fakes. Second, he shows lantern slides of him self in company with mediums. . Third, he gives a performance of his own magic tne tricks that have made him famous. In the language of an announcement, the "Master Mind of Mys tery will present 30 minutes of inexplic- j alile feats of magic, in a manner equalled j by none." Fourth, he will answer questions from the audience about spiritualism and kin dred subjects. Questions may be writ ten on slips that will be distributed through the audience.

Abel expressed in a review of the contributions of uni versity researchers in the field of min ing presented in a recent number of School Life, a publication of the-United States . Bureau of Education. In this article many instances are given in which college men have turned by-prod ucts into valuable aids for the very tilings to which they were most harm ful. The most conspicuous of these is Cottrel's discovery of electrification ap plied to the oil industry by which more than one hundred millions of dollars worth of oil is saved annually from oth erwise worthless oil emulsions.

If we come " out well with Virginia the grouches will be regu lar little boyjs of sunshine; but it we don't they will get back to their croak ing again. From our own observations and in quiries we have formed the opinion that the Fetzers have done a great deal for the benefit of athletics in the University. Their bearing and conduct have won them the respect of the students, faculty and the people of the town; They have upheld clean standards of play. They have helped to bring the student body as a whole (as distinct from a few chosen experts) into participation in ath letics. Their influence has been in sup port of the sort of athletic policy the University ought to follow. These things are important .

Practice has been held every night for the past several- days, the director stated. . SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS REDUCES NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS Thirty-six fewer persons were killed by vehicles in New York City during the first eight months of 1924 than for the same period In 1923. - This is attributed to safety instruction in the schools. Essays, debates, .singing safety songs, drawing posters, and the composition of safety slogans constitute some of the safety activities in the public schools. A safety banner will be awarded to the winning school' in each district for the best safety work -performed during the school year ending In June, 1925. ASK HOUDINI!!
