PARAGRAPHICS
' Twelve more days until Christmas.
There is no reason why college stu
, denta . should not look forward to
Christmas.
1 1 "For,, says ., a ' Harvard ." professor,
f college years are really a prolonga-
. tinn nf lnfnnrv.'
All of which goes to say that Har
vard professors and others in general
make mighty good nurses at times.
? .Some bird up at Yale defines a col
lege as "an architectural experiment to
provide professors with ah audience
and retired business men with an oc
cupation." -!:j.;'V';.r
THE GLEE CLUB.
The game of the University glee club
has spread afar this fall, and justly so,
The University can boast of one of the
best glee clubs that she has had in a
long time; and to take the word of re
nown music authorities who heard the
Carolina club perform at the Southern
Conference for Musical Education held
at Winston-Salem' -recently, the Unl
versity. can boast of one of the best
musical clubs in the country.
' As a direct result of that perform
ance before the musical confab the club
has been invited to appear in April be
fore the National. Music Supervisors
Conference at their annual convention
in Kansas City. Negotiations for con
certs to be giveu en route in Atlanta,
Birmingham, Memphis, Nashville and
St. Louis. Undoubtedly this will be
the most extensive trip that has ever
been taken by any University club.
The glee club well deserves the
praises that have been heaped upon it.
Last year it won the . inter-collegiate
cup in this state; this year it has al
ready been adjudged as one of the lead'
ing clubs of the whole United States.
Lest our local institutions be appre
ciated more abroad than they are at
home, we call upon the students of the
campus to be aroused to the condition
of facts and give praise to our college
glee club. "
. Another philosophically inclined man,
When put to the question, "Is life
worth living?" . answers "This is a
question for an embryo, not for a man,"
We ask the question "Are exams worth
taking?"
J Mister Levitzki proved to be an ex
ception to the generally caricatured
musician in the matter of tonsorial ap
pearance. However, his excitation of
the' elephane dentins also proved to be
an exception to the music we usually
hear.
The Associated Press from' London
carries the news that the inmates of a
certain lunatic asylum in England have
actually started A magazine which con
tins both poetry and prose and which
is never censored or edited by the so
called sane outsiders. From all appear
ances this country can boast of a num
ber of magazines published under such
auspices.':.;''''
A writer in the Virginia College
Topics charges that prohibition has de
stroyed the beauty of drinking while
failing to remove its pleasure. This
attack on the prohibition amendment
from the standpoint of the aesthetician
is at least interesting for its newness.
But the other side of the above state
ment has been summed up by the darky
who stated that prohibition is better
than no likker at all.
f Our fellow students over at Trinity
will have to cast aside their belt buck
les and pennants now that the name of
the institution will probaby be changed.
The changing of the name of an insti
tution means a good deal more than
one thinks at first. The colors of the
institution may have to be changed
also. We would suggest the colors sil
ver and gold as appropriate. . The
Greensboro, News suggests that the
University's name might be changed to
the "General Assembly University."
Duke has certainly done a wonderful
'thing for the two stites. The part that
Trinity College geto is but a part of
the whole gift to education and social
betterment in the state. We do not
sie a good reason why the money should
not be accepted by all the institutions
that it has been offered to, athough
there has been a number of people who
expressed themselves of the opinion
that it would be a crime for Trinity to
accept the offer J j Most of such talk
may be traced directly to jealousy, we
believe.
CAPTAIN HERMAN McIVER
The election of Herman Mclver to
captain the University's 1925 football
team will undoubtedly meet with the
general approval and gusto of the cam
pus and of followers pf Carolina's for
tunes on the grid-iron. Mclver de
serves the position by his years of
hard and. consistent work in the line
for the Fetzers. Any election of a de
serving man will meet with just de
serts and the placing of the captaincy
on the big center will, for this reason
alone, bring praise to the select jou of
the football team. - !
Come what will and go what may, the
captaincy of the football team carries
with it an honor that no other campus
position or honor does. Not only does
a man have to prove himself worthy
and capable of a place on the varsity
eleven, but he has to show himself to
be a leader and a man who can mould
and live up to student and institutional
traditions and principles. In short, the
captin of the football team must have
the very essence of leadership ground
ed in his very make up.
Mclver can more than fill the shoes
of football captain. He has shown him
self to be interested in affairs on the
campus outside of the realm of the
grid-iron, as well as demonstrated his
knowledge of the great college game
and the characteristics that are requi
site of a natural leader. The captain
of the University's grid-iron team ex
erts' influence and leadership over a
far wider range of territory than . the
mere bounds of a f ootbal field. , He is
idolized by the freshman and highly
respected by all upperclassmen. For
this reason his opinions and actions
have weight, that no other campus po
sition can claim.;
We join our opinion with the football
team that Mclver will do all that be
comes a Tar Heel football captain.
