We noterthat Sol Metzer is on
the football field every after
noon now. Just watch him whip
that team into shape, into a win
ning team.
Has anyone noticed that Metz
er's Christian name is the Latin
word for "sun." It is a new
sun rising above . Carolina's
Athletic horizon, bringing a new
athletic day to this old college.
* *
Blut Metzger can't do it all by
himself. Nor can, the men out
there do' it all. They both must
have the whole hearted backing
of the whole student body. There
must be no slackers in the body
of men not actually working for
the team. We all have got to do
sohne yelling and lots of it.
Everybody get the old Carolina
spirit up again and when a game
comes off let's go out there yell
ing to win.
-* * *
Freshmen will do all the yell
ing possible. If any sore throats
are felt as a result that will be a
sign that they yelled enough.
* * *
At last we have a band at
Carolina. And it is reported to
have thirty-five pieces. A band
at Carolina has been needed for
quite some time, and now that we
have it, let's make good use of
it. The student body is paying
for it and we can well be proud
of this new possession. We can
now give the Citadel and Clem
son some competition in the band
line. Thirty-five intrumients
ought to drown out anything
these institutioQns mig't have.
More noise to you, band of Caro
lifia.
All right, fellows, let's get out
on the, bleachers next Saturday
and see if we can make some
noige ourselves. The band won't
sowe'll have to be pint in for
substitutes. Get on the bleachiers
and yell till you can't-then
some.

ident of the studelit body, was
well selected. We don't ,know
where, he got 'his name of
"Charley," but- it is not quite
as digniled as Jerome and there
fore better suited to hinir.
Charley makes friend's with
everybody, is a prominent mem-,
ber of the Clariosophic Society,
is manager of the foot-ball team
'and is brim full of pep. Please
name'a man who, can beat l1inl.
We think that Carolina would
have had a difficult time finding
a better man for president of
its student body.
Governor Cox is for aocepting
the League of Nations covenant
and Senator Harding is abso
lutely opposed to it. Therefore
we are for Governor COx.
At a certain time during the
collegiate year it is customary
to exchange professors with-cer
tain colleges in Tennessee and
North Carolina. We believe it
would be a good idea to leave
Dr. Morse at home. The Uni
versity would suffer an irrepara
ble loss if he would begin to like
some other place better than
Carolina and leave us.

A WITHERED ROSE.
Within a quaint old book shop,
whose low eaves
Seemed to protect it in a pleas
ant doze,
I bought a well worn book, and
'twixt its leaves
I found, as -though entombed,
a withered rose
A faded bloom, pressed in a time
stained book,
Its fragrance spent; but still
a faint perfume
Seemed to arise from out its
modest nook
And fill with ghosts the dim
ness of my room.
What dead romance was here?
Perhaps a maid
Had left a symbol for her'
suitor .bold ;
Or was it but a token, left to
fade,
Of blighted hopes, of love that
had grown cold ?
The dead ghosts mocked me for'
' no mortal delves .
Into the Unseen, which no hu
man knows;
So sad of heart, I placed upon
my shelves
The book, between its leaves
the withered rose.

1 have just read a remxarkable
speech. Once 4ih a blue mogn you
may nd one. This 'one rpn
tained neither buncombe nor
6onmide.
If was by a school teacher
named Slutz, and gave his ideas
on teaching. It was)so good that
John H. Patterson had it printed
as an adyertisement in his cash
register bul'etin. All of us are
teachers,'J said Patterson. "Sell
ing is teaching. Propaganda is
teaching."
Slutz's school is at Moraine
Park, Dayton, Ohio. It is in a
converted green house and is
sometimes called '"the school in
the glass house." Not a bad
idea. There have been enough
schools in mausoleums.
Slutz's speech was made a la
school teacher'; that is to say,
when he got through you knew
what he had been talking about.
He made seven points, each of
which was sharp. It made you
think, because it was built
around ideas, not words. It was
not a concatenation of catch
phrases. I mention this because
I have worked at the speech
smith trade a long while myself,
and know a good job when I
see it.
Here are his seven points,
every one a dum-dum:
1. The school ought to develop
individuality rather than con
formity. How pleased we are
wlgen our children learn to con
form? Yet the whole hope of
amounting to anything is based
on their non-conforming power.
2. The school should develop
'optimism. This is the . best
American characteristic, the
blithe courage to tackle any
thing, the specializing- in the im
possible. .
3. The school ought to teach
how to play. Nine-tenths of all
a boy or girl learns comes by
play.
4. The school should encour
age many-sidedness. There is a
democracy also in ideas. In a
land of specialists the all:around
man is king.
5. The school should develop
business shrewdness. We are a
nation of businss men. It is the
era of business. The mind that
despises it belongs to another
century. No poet or painter is
degraded by having business
sense.
6. The .school should teach
self-government. Every high
school graduate ought to be an
expert politician. Democracy is
politics. A nation that despises
politics is 'fit only to be bossed
by a kaiser. Self-government is
more important than arithmetic.
7. The school should develop
the spirituality. Because spirit
uality (not fanaticism) is the
only- hope of the world.
