has technica;ly clutng to the medieval cap and gown.
There is no criticism offered to the use of these symbiok
oft scholastic accomplishment, buit there is much commett
to be made on the mainer of their use. Thel old line of
the beggars comiig to tow; some in rags; some in tags;
and .some in velvet gowns is a good term to dlescribe the
app)earance' of the University iaculty on that day.
By requiren',nt, all :studensts are uniformly clad in the
black caps5 an'd goiws. biut the faculty not onisy appear ons
the rostrtum in all manner of costuimes from seersuckers to
serges, but actually3 mar the apearanice of the procession
from the c'ampuis to the hbuilding w~here the exercises are
heldl.
It wvould seem that the cap and gown would either be
abolished or that some uitiiformity of appearance could he
enforced. If we arc going to put on the "(log", let's
show ousrselves masters of it.

A Postoffice Without Stamps
Almost two years ago there was established at the
University, in. the Canteen, a sub-postoffice. There was
also appointed a postmistress who would, we were promised,
attuid to ah the incoming mail, including parcel post
packages and special deliveries, would put it into the boxes
rented b the students and would keep stanps so that
students might purchase them wheti needed without having
to go all the way to the postoffice up town.
All has been going well, so far as the postoffice is con
cer4ied. with the exception of one thing, and a big one it is,
that is s:amps. No stamps are sood by the postmistress at
present.
If a student writes a iettvr lie must go all the way up
too tile city postofiice before he call buy a stamp, at cost,
with which to mail the letter. Why should anyone on
the 'campus have to) do that ? Is it that the postmis
iress we have is too busy to handle the "sticky things"?
It carnot he for the mails come in only three times a day,
that is. including the parcel post packages.
.\t present, stamps are beig sold in the Canteen, two
twii-cetit or four one-cent stanips for five cents. This is
otutratgiois. The proper place to ohtaitt stamps is at the
Uliversity posltlice. from the postmistress, and they should
he soi at the rate if a nickel's worth for a nickei.
It is trte there would he tin profit made from selling
live cents' worth oaf stamps for five cots but no postotfice
imakes money front the stamps it sells. Why not let the
j;4ostiistress handle stamps at cost instead of the Canteen
hanldle them for jriofit? Why does tle Canteen have to
take money out if everything that goes on the campits
.tywaV It is certainly not going for the blenefit of the
stilents Ion the caiipus.

The Early Bird
tin this comitry it was once fashionable to arrive at tle
hea:r dut-ing the first act ; anl to lie among the late
arrivals tot atyt social function. That style has passed and
it is Aw considered poor maiers to he late at any gath
erimg.
If the same criteria iay be applied tat the datices held in
tle Uiversity gyntnasitim, then the majority of the couples
tay he acctsed of being out of style. But one does not
have to resort to NIiss Fmily Post's latest tome onl etiquette
to see that late arrivals at the University datices are not
represntatives tf ultra-fashionability. It fact the reason
that iost of the couples arrive late is because of the
'sheepish" comip,ex of humait natire ;ro otne wants to he
first-alnd all cole late.
The Couples might realize that there is no sense in
arriving at a dance fifteen minutes before eleven when the
dance is aniiunced to begin at nine-thirty--no sense at all.
It would !e better f,ir all coicerned if the latices were
scheduled for a quarter of eleven. No! That wouidn't do
--they inight trip. in otn the light fantastic toe sometime
Sunday morning.

A Weighing Measure
This is a weighing measure that we are going to discuss.
Some action needs to be taken. When a student wants to
mail a package lie imist walk all the way up to the post
otfice in order to get it in the mails.
It may be that lie is sending out his weekly laundry for
the folks at home to have cleaned for him. It may be a
large one or it may be smad. It makes no difference; he
still has to make the regular promenade up, to the city
postoffice before he cani get his "dirt" ion the mails.
Now comes the question: why does a Carolina student
have to walk all the way up town to mail a package when
there is a postotlice on the campus? The answer is the
weighing "measure," scales. If the campus postoffice were
qutiped with a pair of scales with which to weigh parce
post packages accurately, all this street-troutting with a
suit case uinder the arm wottld be elimintated.
The poustoilice at present has a fewv dollars which it will
give towardl thte buyinig of these scales if the rest cati he
ob:ained elsewhere. Are there not at acast a fewv dollars
mi the treasurer's aiflice which might he (devoted to this
wvorthy cause?

Complete Revision Needed

Th v ear. a wintg to various chatnges aon our camtpus,
suchl as thle coming oif our tiew presidenit, the installat ion
atf P'hi hieta Kappa. etc., it will be necessary tot revise
the cataloigue tat a greater extent thani inu almost atny previous
euditiaon. As long is muitch of the cataloigue is to changed,
it seemus to me that it wvoutld be wise tat make a complete
revision oif the entire book. A catalogue oif a school serves
as the biest liossihie guide tot strangers aind prospective
stutderts. Mainy coipies of this seeminigly tunimportant book
are scatteredl throughout the country in the offices of oither

editioan that will advertise Caro.ia jutsitly; that wvill lirt
odtce in the minad of tIhe reader a high opinion of tihe U'ni
