Come, easily remember when the Tar Heels this is too much for sweet, young, ranked' with the best, and to win over To the Editor: One would judge that Mayor Zeb Council is not pleased with the. meth od used bythe students in their bum ming. True, there are a relatively few boys here who make themselves objectionable in doing that, just as they do in nearly all that they do do. But in about twenty-five hundred boys, it is natural that there be some not so desirable. , - . One would also get the impression that the mayor is doing the univer sity a great favor in letting it be in his town, and that the boys are en joying a great privilege in being al lowed to walk or stand on his streets. I don't see it in just that wray. If anybody, more than a few miles a way from here speaks of Chapel Hill, is he thinking of a little town of a few hundred people, t having one street of any consequence, with a policeman or two, and other marks of a-small town, or is he thinking of the university situated here, much as one hinks of a college when the name Wake Forest is mentioned? What claim to fame has the town f of Chapel Hill beyond that of being a ittle settlement that has -grown up around the State University, depend ing altogether on the university, and the people it brings here, for its pop ulation, business, and what not, ex cept perhaps the mayor? If the uni versity should be moved, what would be Chapel Hill's means of existence? If our neighbors over at State should become obstreperous, we be- ieve it quite proper and reasonable that the city authorities take action to remedy the trouble, for Raleigh is not dependent on State College for its livelihood, and it also has the right of priority. But if the mayor of Chapel Hill feels the need of exercising his au thority, could he not find some meth od that would not bring a lot of un pleasant publicity, which is by no means indicative of the true situa tion, on the university, and could he not keep in mind the real status of the college familiarly known as Chapel Hill, and the town of Chapel Hill? P. J. ambitious collegians! ; the best was not considered unusua at all. " The showing made inthe third was somewhat in. accord with the genera Dr!

But, however creditable was tha game, the latest, in our opinion, has A conceivably serious clash between the faculty and students of the Law School was averted when the Law Library was opened Sunday afternoon for the first time this year that it has been available on that day to stu dents desiring to use it. The opening of the Library was the result of fav orable action taken by the faculty upon a petition tendered by students of the Law School to Dean C. E. Mc cormick last Thursday, in which a re quest that the Library be kept open on Sunday afternoon was made. It is said that practically every member, of the student body , of the Law School signed the petition. It was immediately taken under con sideration by the faculty after it was presented by several prominent Law School students Thursday, and an nouncement of its favorable reception was made by Dean McCormick Satur day. It set forth the importance of work by the students in the Library on Sunday, stating that on that day there is more opportunity for study and scholastic accomplishment than on any other. It asserted in addition that very little study in the Law School can . be accomplished without access to tne Library. It is said that the request for the opening of the Library, which concluded the petition, wras couched in no uncertain terms Dean McLormick's announcement stated that hereafter the Library would be open from two to six every Sunday afternoon. No students will be allowed to check books out on Sat urday afternoon as has been the cus tom heretofore. Books will be check ed out at 5 :30 Sunday afternoon.

This club' was organized September 25, 1914, "for the purpose of provid ing an open forum vto review, inter pret, and discuss tfo? economic, social, and civic problems of the State. It is an organization composed of stu dents and faculty members' who are bent upon accurate, intimate ac quaintance with North Carolina." The meetings of the' club last one hour.. Speakers who have a thorough knowledge of the topic of discussion are chosen to present a paper or give a talk, after, which a short discussion takes place. The speakers in the past have been men prominent in state affairs, members of the University faculty and students who make a dili genjt study of the problem or ques tion before the club. " ; During the coming year, in collab oration with the school of commerce, the club will undertake a comprehen sive study of taxation, which now is the most discussed problem in North Carolina. The recent attacks on the state's taxation system, the overbur bened ami overtaxed farmer, unjust corporation taxes and other questions pertaining to taxation have been de cried by -many within the past two years. The State Tax Commission was created by, the last session of the general assembly. men who have not played football be fore this year, and, it seems to us, -have not played so very much foot ball yet. Can anyone say there has been a lack of material, or that the student body has not given its support, al though there is much grumbling and discontent lately? We don't know, but we wonder, is the present system of coaching so wonderful after all? J. J. P. WHERE IS YOUR LOYALTY? This commission To the Editor: Do Carolina men have to be beg ged, urged, and literally dragged out to the support of their team . and school? It seems that everyone realizes the need of backing and sup porting the team, and will say that we should have better cheering at our games, but what are you doing to better conditions ? There are bare ly a hundred men who have proven their spirit and loyalty by coming out to rehearsals and fighting to the last whistle at the games. But what about the other twenty-five hundred ? Sure ly they have the spirit and want to see Carolina win; and they no doubt believe in backing , the team. But they take the attitude that it ought to be done rather than 'let's' do it," If you are not satisfied with the sup port at the previous games, come on "Have you an alarm clock?" "Is there a 'black face or white face on your -alarm clock?" Such are the rather odd queries which numerous housewives of Chapel Hill have en countered in the past few days upon answering their doorbell and finding otherwise harmless appearing young students standing there with long im posing blanks in their, hands, ' and pencils ready to record the responses. Many and different have been the reactions to these advances, and much explaining was needed to set things straight by relating that such inquisitiveriess was due to a profes sor's desire for knowledge concerning the alarming clock statistics of the pity. The students were sent oilt with instructions to pose as representatives of a well known manufacturer of alarm clocks', but they oon saw that it would be but little information they would get about the local alarm clocks if .they followed these direc tions, so they lost no time in falling back on the plea that they were not to blame, but some cranky professor was having another queer notion, and was curious about the alarm clocks.. The women who had no alarm clocks were suspicious, believing that giving such data would surely result in a visit from a dapper young talka tive salesman with a full and com plete line of alarm clocks and trade secrets, and would elucidate on the great desirability and necessity of having alarm clocks. Those who had alarm clocks were equally afraid that there would be a visitor with just as wonderful an assortment of alarm clocks, and many reasons why she have more and dif ferent alarm clocks. Nearly all, however, after a time, had their fears and doubts soothed, and told whether they had an alarm clock, all about its face, when and why they purchased that particular alarm clock, and not a different alarm clock, and all needed enlightenment. Their alarm was over! 3 r -if Sis?1: lit Today tele phone cables cross country that Daniel Boone kneiv. 1 Miss E,dna Jones Nixon of Hert-J ford, student here last year, is visit ing Miss Elizabeth Davis this week.
