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

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 ! It's the only
way to get there S.

The Campus Slacker.
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

Rucker and Snowden Elected.
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. Smith won the
State Oratorical Contest at Greenwood,
