Many of us think that because we happen to be a good student, or athlete, or literary society worker, we are real college men. But this is not so. To be a real college man you must be a com pound of many things. You must develop on all sides of yoL.r e. l lege life. You must be a good student, athlete and literary so ciety worker. For college is like a three ring circus. If you spend all your time seeing what is go ing on in just one or two rings, you cannot truthfully say you have seen the whole show. Let us not spend all our time on one phase of college life, but rather take part in all things which tend to develop us into real col lege men. OFFENSIVE YELLS. One of the most impressive things about an athletic contest is the cheering. Yells give im petus to the men on the field and the louder we cheer the bet ter the results. We should show the "pep" at all times, and not fail to keep our "ginger" mills grinding. But sometimes we forget that we are gentlemen and use cheers and yells offen sive' to delicate ears. We should not do this. More than once we have heard protests against this pernicious practice, and we take the liberty of calling attention to it at this time, as the team will soon be playing games on the home grounds. Let us as a man refrain from indulging in offen sive yells and deport ourselves a3 gentlemen at all times. Some day Carolina mmil bm a muc larger institution and there will be a large co-ed contingent here. So if we 'expect our 'female brithress" to take an active in terest in all things Carolinian, be present at all the games and even take part in the cheering, we should, at least, indulge in decent language. ON THE FENCE. Attention is called to the ar ticle concerning the fence around the University athletic field print ed elsewhere in this issue. As loyal Carolina men we cannot af ford to let the present conditions longer exist. While it seems pretty hard for the students to have to build this fence, we must remember that we have not yet come to that period in our devel opment as a University when we can have all the money necessary to provide sorely needed things. Many of the prominent northern universities have large and costly stadiums; but let us content our selves with an adequate grand stand and a neat fence to enclose the field. To accomplish this we must put forth special effort and give liberally of our substance. The present structure was built something like eighteen years ago and is now but a reminder that a fence enclosed the Uni versity field. When the commit tee which has b3en appointed by each class ask you to help this worthy cause, do not declare a "moratorium." Lets pull to gether and rejoice over the re sults. Dr. Currell at Clemson. Dr. W. S. Currell, our presi dent, spoke last Wednesday morning at the chapel hour to the faculty and students of Clem son College. Dr. Currell's sub ject was "Education and the Larger Life," which he handled with great ease and forcefulness. It was interspersed with timely humor and abounded in quota tions and literary phrases of the highest character. Dr. Currell was accorded an ovation. He completely won the Clemsonites. Scrubs vs. Porter. Porter Military Academy of Charleston will meet the Univer sity Scrubs this afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the Columbia League Park. Trhis bids fair to be a very in teresting game, and is composed of valiant fighters. Each year they wage with our scrubs a battle royal. .Judging from the score of 2 to 0 with the Citadel this season, it ap pears that the Porter eleven are playing strong this year. J1. P. Reynolds was called to Florence last saturday to attend court, and will be back on the campusabohut Sunay. BIG buildin's best college, the buildin's -m O sort o' grow.

Sunday morning would be bliss if we could keep out the "New York 'Merican." It's this year that Carolina is going to make the bull show up in "Bull Dog." While Dr. Smith is studying the elegy, Coach Costello is studying Ellzey. Not meaning anything at all, but it looks as if "Luke" fell off Chapel Hill. * ** What a hunch that lyric poetry class is! Dr. Green says that the lyric was made for the lyre. In "The State" of last Sunday we noticed the wedding of Reed Smith. Here's hoping he will get along well with himself. * ** Carroll says that if the girl wvho sells tickets at a certain pic-. ture show up town is called the receiver, then he would like to go into the hands of the receiver.
