Page Four THE TAR HEEL v Thursday, December 9, 1926 LIGHT WINE SIDE COPS PfflDEBATE H. V. Chappell Gets, the Speaker ship Walter Kelly the Pro . ' Tern Position. In the Freshman Intra-Soci-ety Debate in the Phi Assembly Tuesday night, the decision of the Judges was given the affirm ative, side. F. K. Turner was declared best speaker. . .. The query for debate was Resolved; that' the Volstead Act be so amended as to permit the sale of light . wines and beers. Messrs. F.. K. Turner arid R. F. Lowry, as the affirmative, stress ed the inadequacy of the .Vol stead Act. It has reached the stage now that even in better social circles, people carrying flasks are regarded with good natured tolerance. It was said that the daily violation of the prohibition law has caused throughput the, country a gen eral disregard of all legislation and an . unprecedented crime wave. - In the opinion of the speakers, the Volstead Act is an obvious failure and some amend-1 ment is most necessary." The negative, consisting of J. J. Cohen and J. A. Lang, opened their argument with the futility of regulation. The sale of light wines and beers, according to the speakers, woujd make the situation more complex while de feating the real purpose of pro hibition. They also found the spiritual side of the matter of utmost : importance America must not participate in the downward trend from civiliza tion that has caused .the ruin of empires. 'She must hold on to this Volstead Act that has placed her at the pinnacle among nations. .They concluded that it will save the United States from degradation. The judges of the debate were Walter Keley, Ralph Noe, and J. H. Harrell, " Chappell Becomes Speaker Unusual interest met the elec tion of officers for the ensuing term.

"It is a blessing because the students have a chance to get away from the poor teachers and make contracts with other peo ple."' ; The professor explained this view commonly known as the capitalist theory with a com parison of the German system; where all teachers are so well trained that a long term jg de sirable.

These are the ones of President Cald well, Dr. Mitchell, arid Dr. James Phillips which are to the left and right of the one of Pres ident Swain. After six years, the memorial to Paul C; Cam eron, who was so instrumental in the erection of the building, was erected in the remaining vacant space. Tablets to the memory of the "Confederate Dead," below that of President Swain, containing 260 names, are a pathetic reminder of how our students rushed to the front. Only one case is known in which the person commemorated wrote his own inscription. The inscription of Bishop Green's 0L 'Nationally Known".

' Primary Systems Exposed (Continued from page one) "The convention system limits participation in the selection of candidates : the convention is or dinarily &. place of trades hoss trading is not comparable to po litical trades; it yields too easily to corrupt methods ; it is com pletely dominated by the party bosses; and it is not under sta- tutary law it is purely a mat ter of private control." ; Since 1900 state after state has developed the primary sys tem and today practically every state uses it in some form or an other; North Carolina uses it in almost every branch of its government. Because of the many recent exposures in line with the direct primary "there are those who are wondering if - the convention system will not be returned.
