o Power Of Habit
A man sat in his apartment late at night and picked up
jpeas with the hollow end of his corked-tipped cigarette.
First he lit the cigarette, fumbled around on the table,
finally captured a pea in the hollow end, and then ducked
the cigarette in the ash tray.
For three hours he repeated the process lighting a dif
ferent cigarette, capturing a pea, and ducking the cigarette
in the ash tray. The tray was piled high with butts.
Finally he became so expert that with his attention di
verted he never failed to capture a pea in the cigarette's
hollow end. .. . -
But the man was not just playing a game.
The next day he walked into a jewelry store and asked
; to see the stock of unset diamonds. The clerk put a tray of
sparkling gems on the table.. , . .
After lighting a cigarette, the man called the clerk's at
tention to an unusually large stone which he had picked up
in his left hand. Automatically his right hand, with the
cigarette, tapped casually upon the table until he had covered
a diamond with the hollow tip.
V Explaining that he would have to postpone the decision of
a purchase, the man ambled casually over to another counter,
and looked blankly at a display of watches.
Finally, headinjg toward the door, he looked between his
fingers and found the cigarette missing. From force of habit
he had ducked it in a tray on the showcase.
The store detective saw it there, butt upright, with its
unusual setting glistening in the light. Before the thief
reached the door he felt a firm hand upon his shoulder.
People in the psychology building claim that habits are
valuable to everybody because they conserve energy.
The force of habit, says William James, psychologist and
philosopher, "prevents the hardest and most repulsive walks
of life from being deserted by those brought to tread therein.
It keeps the fisherman and the deck-hand at sea through the
winter; it holds the miner in the darkness, and nails the
countryman to his log-cabin and his lonely farm through
all the months of snow."
To everybody, then, habits are valuable Jbecause a great
amount of work can be done without an equal amount of
conscious effort being necessary.
But to the freshman appearing alone for the first time
in a new environment habits become a primary consid
eration. He will probably see the greatest change in his everyday
living since the time his mother took him to school for
matriculation in the first grade.
Into an unexplored wilderness he will build a system of
little "habit-grooves" that will railroad him through each
day of the coming four years.
Once a habit system has been built it takes twice as much
effort to renovate it. When the constructor finds he is build
ing in the wrong direction, he not only has to rebuild but
he must destroy the old structure.
The diamond thief forgot that part of his habit chain
would have to be destroyed before he could succeed.
Exercising, eating, making friends, studying, and sleep
ing will soon be out of the control of the freshman. His
; habits will take into command his daily living and he will
become a victim of himself.
No freshman can avoid . habit-making. The undesirable
ones will be easy. The desirable ones will require constant
attention.
When graduation day comes in 1942, every rising alumnus
can look backwards and see the character he built in four
years. It will be the sum of those habits he has formed.

REGISTRATION: It seems to
be the custom for a first col
umn each year to criticize reg
istration. However, we are be
ginning to accept waiting in line
as inevitable as day and night.
Despite the fact that the admin
istration doubled the number of
the assistants in registration, it
has been reported that the or
deal is taking longer this year
than last year. The reason for
this is the amount of personal
attention given to each individ
ual. However, the administra
tion heads feel that this system
is more satisfactory to all con
cerned than speeding up the pro
cedure in a mechanized manner
and allowing each person a lim
ited time in which to complete
his - registration. So those that
complain Of suffering from line-
ingitis have only to remember
that they will ' be given their
hour (or moments) to shine, too.
SCOOP: Miss Sally, who in
the past has had a stronger
fortification than the Maginot
line in protecting herself from
publicity by presshounds, has
given us an exclusive stating
that she will resign from the
University administration fol
lowing the completion of reg
istration. Upperclassmen will
deeply regret this, as Miss
Sally has been one of the most
popular members of the ad
ministration and has always
been a friend whom one could
count on in an hour of need.
.
; PL AYMAKERS : Work will
begin immediately on the res
toration of the Playmaker The-
ater which was recently burned
but well-covered with insurance.
The new building will have a
fire curtain, fire hose, and fire
wall. Bynum . Gymnasium and
not the Chapel Hill High school
auditorium, as has been report
ed, will be turned over to the
Playmakers. The gym will house
the department until the comple
tion of the work o nthe theater.
SOCIAL: With the advent of
many new campus improve
ments and buildings, and es
pecially a new bevy of nice-looking
coeds, why not have a de
luxe date parlor on the campus?
The place could be large to house
a' luncheon counter and dance
floor and would be the only one
in Chapel Hill. Support of such
a proposition might help.
