Opportunities for Service. \\hen the subject of community service is broached to the studeit lie at once replies with the question, "What opportunities have I , a college student, to serve the community ?" And at first thought his objectiois seem to be perfectly valid. The col lege man's days are pretty well filled up with attending chapel, going to classes, serving on student body com mittees, and the other nImlerous rou tite duties of the college. His Iights are spent in the preparation of tomor row's lessons-he even "burns the midnight oil" in his search after knowledge. I le, therefore, very naturally says that he hasn't got the time to do any service to the world outside the college walls. Blut there really are little odds and ends of time in which the student has nothing spe cial to do. ly a little thinking and definite p)lanning he can so arrange all his other duties as to leave a certain portion of his time each day for the doing of something that will benefit his fellow-beings. The w,riter knows a numillber of men in college now who are doilig just this thiig ; and in some cases they are, aside from these duties voluntarily as suimed. the busiest men on the Univer sity campus. They are men who are not only carrying a full course of col lege work, but are also doing work of some form or other to help pay their living C ;a nses. Yet these men find time to . omtmunity service. Thei .ain, the college man will ask, "What particular thing is there that I can do?" Now, of course, it is not to be stil))osed that the student can undertake any large task of wel fare work, such as gifted men devote their entire time to carrying on ; but there will be occasional opportunities offered him to ren(ler bits of assist aice to the man who is engaged in the larger field of social work-he may act as ain emergency helper to the reg ular worker. For those who care to do it, or are fitwd for it, there are always hible classes and Sunday school classes to be taught. If he can sing, the church choirs will a)preciate his service. There is also a i(:ed for college men to take (lie leadership of boys' clubs in coniection with the local Young Mei's Christian Associations. If he is athletic there may be an op)ortunity for him to lead a gymnasium class in the boys' <le)artment of the associa tion. , Or he may organize and drill a company\ of "Boy Scouts." In these andl various other ways the college mani may (10 the conmtunity some real serV'ICc.

Do not neglect this means of dleveloping your li fe ; because it is wvorth while getting in touch wvith the men who are directing the affairs of ever'yday life, rather than remain ing a r'ecluse within the bounds of col lege walls. W. IH. JOHINSTON. Send a copy of THE GAMIEcocJ home. Bible Study at Carolina. (Continued from Page One.) At presett, of a student body of over four hundred, we have only seventy men enrolled in l,ible study groups. As we have already seen, that is a tremendous increase over last year's enrollment. Hlowever, this is iothing like the number of men we should have engaged in daily Bible stu(y. . In fact, every student in col lege should )e stu(ling the Bible daily ; and now that we have gotten the Bible study movement started, we hope next y'ear to have at least three hundred men engage(d in daily llible study. There is no reason in the W4orld why we should not have at least three-fourths of the students of the University cngage(d in [Iible stu(dy. and there is every reason why we shoul(l. So let's get busv. Now is the time to "talk it up" and get things into shape for next year. R. F. liRAnu.:v. At the beginning of this collegiate ye.ar a movement was startled to get all the Freshmen to wear a certain style cap, so they might be more easily (list inguished. This, it seems to us, is an excellent idea, and we would like to see the custom started next year. It is not a difficult mat ter to (listinguish a Freshman from the other classmen, but vhen you go ip town, it becomes almost an imlPOssibility to distinguish the new men from the town people ; more exactly, from the country youths that come into towin to see the sights. This is especially the case (luring fair week, when the town is filled to overflowing with people from all over the State. It is not that we think the Freshmen as un deserving of consideration as any other man in college, but because it wonild undoul)tedly (1o much towards unifying his class. The typical Freshman knows no one wh,en he comes here, and only after a long time (loes he learn to tell his class mates from the great number of oth ers with whom he is thrown. Ve don't believe t,he Freshman wvould colisi(ler it an ii(lignity, and. those who might are the ones upon whom indignities should )e thrust. If this is to be carried out next fall. the movement will have to be starte(l this spring.
