A Stray Thought. In thinking of possible headings for this article, the idea came to us that a thought in the hands of one connected with a news sheet would he-what you see above. But now for the thought. We cannot turn around these (lays without hear ing something about a "Greater Caro lina" and everything that comes to our attention receives notice very largely from this viewpoint. Our one great idea is "Ilow to make Carolina a great er and better University." h'liere is one thing in this connection that should merit our attention, namely the block let ters that are given to athletes at Caro lina. Ihe whole idea of the athletic letter is to stamp f the man as an athlete and to show the sci(ol for which lie played. D(oes oir letter do that ? It (1oes not aid never has. lurthermore it nIever w i_1 as long as wve follow our present sys tem. To verify this statement it is hut necessary to point to the iIyimerous freshimeni (on the campius who are al rea dy wearing their block "C." They miay have cm ne from any oiie oIf a niuniher of high schools, Charleston, Co lumbia, Camdeni, (Cheraw, Chariotfte or any iothier er high school that gives a block '"4'' to its foo tbiall , baseball anid basketball players.. Thleni aumng fthe ciolleges there arc Clemson, ('itadlel, ('enter, etc., andl there is no means of telling ne letter froin another. Iiu a wo rdl thle re is no (listinct iveness aboiut our block ''(."' It is oif course very (ouIbt ful that any change we might moaken w1(d itupro ve thngs at all. but it's woirth tin kinig ab iout. . Fiir e xaiiple wvould it lie a goodi( ideau to adopllt the piol icy iln vogue amt the Uniiversity of North IC(arolinia and make our athletic letter "SC'' inisteadl of the single letter ? TIhere wvoumld be both advantages and disadlvanutages at tend(ant upon ii suchi a chanige, but there is no dioubt that by it we would label 'A, men beyonud the shuadowv of a doubt, and mark them in such a way that they wVouild lie recog nized aniywhiere fromii Ne~w York toi Sani Francisco. And to ouir minud this wvouldm be vastly superioir to the piresent practice even if we would lose the sniap and at tractivenes;s of the siingle letter. As our learnemd friend, McBride D)abbs -president of the junior class, would say, "there's a nigger in the wood-pile somewhere," but we (10 not see just where lie is, nor how he is to he gotten out. We would like to hear some mor The Carolina Band. Included inl the various remarks an< observations pon the game last Thurs day one could hear a few (itestioln such as: "Where was the Carolinlz hand?" or some wise one remark "Thl land should have been there, it wot have helped Ia lot to puit spirit inl its.

This is the time of the year when word to the wise is ntever sufficient A\ll the rats who arrivedi with high as. Firations and lofty ais have biy thie time Ilost at least the maj or part of ti:1 valuied baggage. A.t the samie itimic the o11lid man whoi camle back with t les< same ideas founded upon one or mor< years of experience finds that all hii: 'Newv Year's resoltitionis" have gonie a glimmneriing. And this is always a mos mumfortunate state oif a ffairs. And the reasoni is that a mant's work for th year usually followvs the pace that ha sets for im isel f abont Th'lanksgivintj Muchl is said about "dingles" witl the pro fessor, and many classes have a their mnot to "Search for the soundl 0 thic bell," but the sobe)(r t ruth is tha ai little early season stuidy will (10 mor than any other one thing to make rat (or a soomore either) "sit pret ty" for the rest of the year. You kunoi Habe Ruth got (off to a poor start thi year when lie finally returned( to thi game becatuse o)f his loafing on th job so much that wven lie really wvate to start swatting them all over the kc there didn't seem to be aiiy more horn rtuns left in his big stick. It is just as trtie that the heedles yotuth who loafs around too much dii ing the first few months often ftnt it impossible to take a brace later o even thiotugh lie tries his very best I do it. There's a great deal in a man setting a pace for himself early in ti race and( from that point trying 't KEEP ONGn r.ah.. th,.n igt There are doubtless many new men in school who have come from high schools where a very close check was kept on the work that was done from day to (lay. If a boy or girl falls be hind the least bit he is "called to or der" pronto. Here it is different, and sometimes it seems that the man who t works gets no more credit for his ef fort than the man who loafs. This is of course an illusion for the day of reckoning comes even more surely bo cause of the fact that it comes slowly. And when mid-term marks, and then the finals, come out there will remain no more doubt in the In(s of the uMni tiated. So the very best advice that can he given to a new man at this time I of the year is "Get busy!" An hour's work now is worth more than several times as much will be later on. If you want to bat out many double stars (like this: **) in February then you had best get in plenty of early sea son studying between now and Thanks giving. Ask the men who are "get ting results;" they will tell you that "dingle, hell' is a good thing, in its place, but that the real answer is: Roll up the old shirt-sleeves and dig !

Prominent among the well-known figures on every campus is the man who is only too glad to accept an office >r place on a convnittee to get his name in the paper, but who will not live up to the responsibility of his position by leaving the necessary work for some one else to do. Such a man is a campus slacker. This class of man likes to feel the importance of serving on some com mittee but lie does not like to do the work. He not only prevents results being obtained as they should be, but p)revent someone else from taking the job and doing the work as it should be done. .. But it (oes not take very long to recognize the species, and when once recognized lie finds his honors dwind ing rapidly. Don't be a campus slack r.-MlcGill Daily. ooo Trouble Afoot.

The student body last week elected as faculty members of the Debating Council rofessor E. Marion Rucker and Dr. Yates Snowden. Professor Rucker has been a member of the coun cil for a number of years and has prov en himself a most useful representative on this body. Dr. Snowden, although a new manl ol the Council, has always taken a lively interest in debating at the University. The Debating Council is composed of seven men-three members of the fac ulty and four students. Dr. Melton is ex-officio chairman of the council. The student members are Fant Kelly and R. R. Williams of the Clariosophic Society; and Earl Black and Clark Floyd of the Euphradian Society. The Council is expected to meet soon, elect a secretary and outline the work for the year. In past years the University has made most satisfactory records in debating and oratory. Two years ago the de bating teams of the University came through the season without a defeat. New York, Florida, Tennessee, Clem son, The Citadel, and the Wofford Fresh men were all taken into camp. In addi tion to this Mr. E. M.
