Some say they made a fool of themselves. ' We take no issue there. But 'what we do know the above board sort of campaigning that was started will do this campus erood. Then is can be made a campaign of issues and not of personalities. Heretofore the greater part of the elections have been "cooked up be fore the day on which they took place, Each side has used as it justification the argument that W has formed a political ring and it is necessary that something be done to stop him. And indeed if W was taking any interest at all, he was using the same sort of argument. , No attention has been paid, in many instances, to the qualifications requisite to fill capably the position in question. It has been a dastardly disgraceful business. Some of the cleanest, finest, most capable men on the campus have received "raw deals" because they would not stoop to the low level to which those who beat him would stoop. There are issues here on this Cam pus that would furnish nominess good campaign argument, as for example the question of co-education. But even if there is nothing wrong with the present system the open cam paign system would be much better. A good political campaign waged above board is valuable in the training it will furnish, and then it is, "a great sport. What's better to test men, to strengthen character than an open contest of any sort. That's all politics is. " Why not hold our meetings, and make our nominations. And then have several days of open campaigning and stump speaking. If necessary, let's have a joint debate in the race for the more important officers. The balloting might come, several on the same day, by secret ballots. This would clean up the present un derhand method; be a practical course in citizenship and add vigor and strength to our campus lift. ; ' THE CAMPUS CABINET The Campus Cabinet, since its or ganization as such a year ago, has always busied itself with some of the biggest everyday problems that con front us here, and has ' made a very definite contribution to University life. It's of no use to rehearse its history of last year. V The immediate thing that it has just turned its attention to is of prime im portance; that of moss athletics through the medium of inter-class con tests." . ' The nearest that a great-part of the student body has ever come to actually ' participating , in athletics is that of betting on the game, finding fault with the coaching staff, criticising a certain plan when it failed to produce favor able results, or sitting in the stadium, with a nice sofa pillow between him and the concrete; and leistirly burning a cigarette while the team fought up and down the" field! This has been largely due t6 the fact that all men could hot be taken care of on the var sity squad, 'and only those who felt that they had a chance to make the team went out;! These interclass con tests offer 'a means of bringing into some sort of game practically every man in the student body.' This means' improved health for our men, develop ing men for the varsity squad by let ting every man know what he can do when he tries, and will bring an entire ly different sort of attitude toward the men on the team. ' This only illustrates the sort of work the Cabinet is doing. It is "the only organization on the campus that can, from the students' view point, turn with effectiveness up on any question the .constructive organization that brings to the ad ministration in a positive way what the students are thinking and want. It's of the students, by the students, and for the students and the Univer sity. It puts to work the thing that comes from the student body and would otherwise run to waste, or turn to bolshevism. STUDENT FORUM FRIENDS OR HYPOCRITES? The real Carolina man has always been considered first of all a gentle man; and second a clear, straight, fair-minded ' thinker? ' 1 It is to" this man, as a class, that the following suggestions are presented as an ap peal to his innate sense of fairness The' Legislature has sanctioned co education at the University, and, therefore, the " women have 'not "taken" the right to come, but it has been given them by : the State of North Carolina. , ; : If those few very witty persons who gleat over their rudness to "co eds" could only realize three things: first, that they are "thinking back wards," for scolding the women will not take back he right given them by the Legislature: second, that they are very ungenerously endeavoring to make life miserable for a few f el- low-students'. (The women are stu students of the University. The re marks of certain wits to the con trary have not as yet affected the State's decree.); and third, that they are lowering the standard of the real Carolina man, for he is a gentleman. Perhaps .you may .think it is pleasent to be told, in print and to your face, that you a are a "spoil sport" and are not wanted. Perhaps you think it is delightful to hear a mumble and a suppressed giggle run through a crowd as you pass. You may' consider it edifying to learn that the man who speaks to you pleasantly on the campus is a "hyp ocrite." If you believe all this and there are many other incidents that happen daily you must consider the life of a "co-ed" one of unending joy Thank fortune there are many gen tlemen on the campus who are not "hypocritical" when they are polite! It is said that "co-eds" restrict the men. At least it has not restricted their criticism. . The women on the campus do not ask favor, but merely fairness. The West has shown co-education to be a great thing. Some few men in our University have made it seem a source of discord and bad feeling. The time has come on this campus when some steps toward making one half of the University acquainted with the other half should be taken. With Carolina's rapid increase in the number of new students each year there is arising a cosmopolitan air on the campus which is a token of pros perity but which is not conductive to good fellowship. . A large student body is one the first steps toward progress in a uni- versity, but there is no finer thing anywhere than the fellowship of a small college and there are no rea sons why both cannot exist on this campus. Not that there is any estrangement among the student body but just a general ' cosmopolitan atmosphere that has been increasing for the past four years so , that at the present time men who have been here for four, years meet each other and are total strangers. 1 A large part' of a mans education at this or any university is his as sociation with a large body, of men who are pursuing the 1 same goal of education and culture. An air of ac quaihtainship on a college campus is one of the most broadening influ ences that the college has to offer. We are all Carolina men each seek ing to develop ourselves and advance the standards, and ideals of the uni versity. . And what is that univer sity? 'It is the man across the hall from us', the man on the other side of the campus, and the man we sit next to on class. If we know them then we know the university, and the more we know of the university the bigger and broader men we shall be. Caro lina men lets get acquainted. '!.'' Richard Yank The University of London has fiftv- three constituent colleges. The Chinese Students' , Alliance in America held three interesting, sec tional meetings in the late summer. The western section met at the Uni versity of California, the mid-western section at the University of Michi gan, and the eastern at Princeton. A total of 590 Chinese students attended these conferences and took part in both Chinese and English in debates and oratorical contests. MR. WALKE IN STATE BOOTH AT FAIR Mr. Walke of the division of county Home Comforts .and Conveniences leaves for Raleigh Monday, where he will have a section of the booth of the State Highway Commission. Mr. Walke will carry no definite ex hibits but he will be ready to give in formation and advice as to country Home Comforts and Conveniences. The Editor of the Tar Heel: The Faculty-Alumni Committee on the Greater University is anxious for the parents of every student in the University to see a copy of the last Tar Heel, issue of October 15, Number 7, with its news about University Day and the present crowded conditions at ( Chapel Hill. j To that end the committee hopes that every student in the University will send home a copy of that issue and at the same time write a letter home asking that the facts in that issue be given serious consideration. Those who see in the development of higher education in North Carolina the only salvation for the state in fu ture years want the parents to know the true situation at the University, a situation 1 which is reflected in every other institution of higher education . in the State. These Tar Heels and let ters from students to their parents will help show North Carolinians how the University is held back in its work. '" '' '"' M '". V " . Lenoir Chambers, Secretary.
