KEEP A DIARY
Diary-keeping is aui irksome task to
a great number. Mark Twain was speak
ing for this division when he called the
undertaking, and it is for the greater
part, a doomed resolution. But many
do find a special kind of pleasure in
the daily effort entailed by an up-to-date
journal of such entries as one's personal
tastes dictate.
The college student by all means should
pursue the course of diary-keeping.
There are obvious reasons: (1) The
dairy is a more certaidt record than the
ordinary memory book. In it are in
scribed each (lay pictures which are not
susceptible of 111ming. Your inner self,
which is of more moment to you than
outward appearances, does not bare it
self before the camera. But in the
writing that you do in your minute book
you preserve real snatches of yourself,
which, as time goes on, despicts you in
a more or less analyzed way. Knowing
one's self is a helpful means in attain
ing some of the ends one might have
ained at. All in all the diary regis
ters the owner's trend, together with
just the type of curve he is unconscious
ly trailing.
(2) But ii the diary should fail in the
irbt particular, it holds out the further
advantage of practice in one of the most
powerful of arts, writing, and an art
which every man, regardless of his call
ing, may at some time use to advantage.
Not a few of the celebrated names in
literature practiced arduously in their
chosen field, employing years of labor
in achieving .master pieces. h'Vough
the average student does not contem
i)late entering the literary field, he will
be rcequiredl by circumstances, time upon
time, to use his pen. He should accus
tomu himself to the wvielding of it.
(3) Tfhere is another reason why
the dairy shotuld not be neglected. It
may carry records and ideas of real
value. No one would say that Carolina
would not he richer if there were avail
able student diaries of the past. Some
might ask if there be any virtue in
knowving the happenings and problems
of a century ago. But if there is bright
ness to the p)ast it lighutens the future.
Furthermore, one's ideas might not be
valueless, either to him or to others.
Sometimes there is clear waste of ideas.
The fact that they are one's own should
not detract from thema.

FOOTBALL-EXAMINATIONS
The footha!! clouds have passed over
the horizen. In last Thursday's game,
nearly 5,000 spectators witnessed the cur
taini descend and end the footb)all sea
son almost as abruptly as it began.
The curtain now rises to a season of
harder and more important tasks than
Lootbal-Examinations-They - are not
far off. Every student will have to par
ticipate in that game.
Every boy and every girl that walks
the campus of every University in the
cour*try represents a sacrifice, some
where, somehow, sometime.
It requires no stretch of the imagina
tion to picture the widow, struggling
under her double burden, tryingr to give
lher son a flying start in life.
Can't you see the tired little father
chained to a routine of drudgery, plug
going along with the one hope of giving
his boy the big chance to escape his
dreary lot?
Look at the boy working his own way.
His tired eyes, his frayed coat sleeves
bespeak a similar story. Sacrifice-all
sacrifice.
Even the pampered daughter or son
of rich parents is profiting by the sacri
fice of the person who laid the founda
tion of the present prosperity.
For every boy or girl who goes to
school, some one has done without
sacrificed. These sacrifices are for edu
cation. Of what then does this educa
tion consist?
Atheltics have an educational value.
Of that there is not the slightest doubt.
'The social life around the campus has
its value too. All the campus activities
contribute to education.
But-the foundation of it all is the
classroom work, the studies. All the
,)ther things amount to but little tiless
there is a good foundation, unless one
intends to take up the profession of
coaching or dancing teacher.
The training that one gets from regu
lar, consistent, daily scholastic work can
be gained in no other way. That train
ing is the great objective for which all
the sacrifices are made.
Shall the sacrifice be in vain? Each
individual student must answer that ques
tion to his own conscience.

Senior: "Who is she ?"
Junior: "She's Helen Carrs."
Senior: "Zat so? How is she on a
davenport ?"
If you know a girl well enough to
hold her hand don't waste your time
doing that.
Some girls are like cigarettes-not
very stimulating until they are lit.
Women know the value of love; most
men only know its cost.
A fool attempts to read between the
lines of a woman's letter. A wise man
reads the lines in her face.
"No-I won't. You can guess my
weight without my sitting on your lap."
What makes a husband angry is not
the fact of a man staring at his wife,
'mt the fact that she enjoys it.
They are calling flappers boiled pota
toes now because they are so easily
mashed.
"Listen, girlie, compared to you, a

furious ; how dlare you suggest such a

I'll never speak to you again, and be

You may tip the soda clerk a wink,

She: "Dear, are you with me or against
