The Polka Dot chorus, like a
Ford car, was made for comfort,
not speed.
Our idea of the eternal unfit
ness of things is a sophomore sit

Course you know what that )''

classes used heated air instead of
a coal fire. G. Waring is in the

Strange that the law should be
allowed to take its course in the
case of a freshman wvho quoted:
''Beard the lion on his chin.'"

TELEPHONING.
There are at present only two
telephones on the campus. When
one considers the many times
during the day that both are idle
he is forced to the conclusion that
they are quite sufficient to render
service to the entire student body.
But there are many times especi
ally at night, when to call up a
friend or perhaps answer a long
distance call one must get in line
and await his turn. There are
times when almost an hour pass
es in such waiting before one
can obtain use of either 'phone.
A remedy was suggested, that
we make a rule that the time
that anyone be allowed to use
the telephone at one sitting be
limited to four minutes. This
would not help matters very
much if a large number were
waiting to use the telephone.
We believe that the students of
the various dormitories would
bear the expense of installing
and maintaining one in their re
spective dormitories. There are
times when it is absolutely neces
sary to break a date or answer a
long distance call from home or
elsewhere. in either case a
telephone is essential.
T.he expense of maintaining a
telephone is very small, about $2
a month. For forty boys that
would.be five cents each. We be
lieve that a telephone in each
dormitory would add very much
to the convenience and in some
cases the needs of the students.
A telephone with the accompany
ing monthly fee of five cents of
course would not be forced on the
students of the various dormi
tories, but they could decide for
themselves whether or not they
are in need of a telephone.
This lack of telephone facilities
has been pointed out to the writ
er as one of the greatest of the
inconveniences on the campus
that could be remedied at small
cost. Permission to install a
telephone must be given by some
one in authority and the students
can then act according to their
own desires.
EASTER WEEK.
Easter Week festivities this
year begin with the tennis meet
this afternoon. This Easter cele
bration had its beginning last
year. For a long time the need
of a break in the regular college
duties of the spring term was
felt at Carolina before anything
was (lone about it. Last year
several students and members of
the faculty got together, and
this Easter Week celebration was
the outcome of their concerted
efforts.
The first stage in the forma
tion of this custom was safely
weathered last year, and it is the
success of the coming events
that will crystallize this week of
social activity in to a pe-manent.
custom. The significance of this
break in the second term will
become more apparent as the
years go by. Our effort must be
put forth to insure the success
ful working out of everything
planned if we wish to make this
an established custom here at
Carolina.
The enthusiastic cooperation of
every student on the campus
must be had if we wish to make
the coming week even approach
a success. Last year b^mn, the
first time't!,at !a.ctcr Week wa:;
recognized at C:-olina and cele
brated with a regruh)r program
of social events, the whole thing
was somewhat of an experiment.
The most striking feature of last
year's celebration was the lack
of interest and cooperation on
the part of the student body. In
spite of this lack of interest the
week was, to our mind, a decid
ed success. This year Easter
Week is no longer an experiment
and if the students do not re
spond much better than last year
the celebration will be a failure.
We are not here speaking in
behalf of the baseball games that
are a part of next week's pro
gram, for we know that they
will take care of themselves; but
it is of the other events that also
require the support of the stu
dents. It is not necessary or even
possible for all of us to take an
active part in the preparation of
the various events, but what is
just as important we can all be
present. The campus should be
covered with students and others
at the may pole dance. The gym
nasium ought to be filled to its
capacity on the night of thnt
student body reception and the
(lance.
Perhaps the largest track meet
ever held in this State will be
pulled off on Davis Field Tues
day. It behooves every one of
us to be on hand. We have a
good team, and with our support
that team will win for us. L.
discussing these vari'us Easter
Week events we must not over
look an important addition, "The
Tale of the Sea Serpent," to be
presented Monday and Tuesday
by the Polkadot club of the Uni
versity.
Everyone of us should attend
as many of these Easter Week
happenings as possible and make
them a howling success.
