C.) i To : the ', minds ' of many students comes this problem: How shall we decide upon the men who deserve our votes? The names of some of these : candidates for campus offices we have never .heard beforei. How may we learn enough about the nominees to .enable us to vote intelligently? , ' It is true that no accurate medium exists for the information of the cam pus concerning the relative merits of the men whom it must judge. Here tofore the student body has voted blindly for men whose qualities have been extolled by their campaign man pagers. Consequently, the best ma chine has won; often regardless of the insrinsic merit ' or worthlessness of the men on the ticket. This year has brought a better informed student body as a whole; but no movement for the education of the voters (whose fickle interest and lack of time for personal investigation are deplorable) has been started. - . ' Nevertheless, it is obviously absurd that we should depend on stealthy canvassing or tricky gossip for our information. This boosting of can didates should be done publicly, where falsehoods can be challenged, instead of in whispered confabs. Since every candidate is asking for the favor-of . the student , body, has 'not this elec torate the right to demand a public appearance of all prospective officers? The president of the student body has stated that he will offer next week chapel periods to all the major can- didates if most of , them are willing to address the student, body. Is there any reason why those men who dare to, run -for position which will next year require ability in speaking should refuse to appear before the men whose : votes they desire? It is , most likely that the editors of publications may logically decline 'to -make speeches.'; Indeed, this test might put an excellent writer at an unfair disadvantage when he really deserves the position. But the rivals for the editorships of the Yackety Yack and the Tar Heel are none too well known, They would do the cam pus and themselves a service by sit ting on the stage In Memorial Hall next week, and being introduced and even by declining to speak, they would 'Undoubtenly clarify the situation, be cause two chapel-periods will hardly suffice for 'presidents' speeches above; If the candidates for the presidency of the student body and the respect ive classes decide to do the campus this favor, they "must remember that the , student , body is surfeited with the time for sugary, political gushing.,"-': J 1. ; ,. ( 'Everybody knows that each candi date expects to "do his best to make Carolina etc." Tra la la ; tweet tweet. The campus is alive with real issues mow. Is the campus not justified in requiring its would-be officers to have a platform instead of an after dinner sputter?.,, ; X-; ."v ';-.- ; Furthermore these brief, business like speeches could wisely include a comparison of records. This is done out in the state. We who must vote on April 6 have a right to know not only what measures a man stands for, but also why he is more capable to fill the position than his rivals. We see no reason why a candidate should not comprae his past with that of an other man and in a decent manner. If his comparisons are unsportsman ship, they will prove a boomerang to him But all these are merely sugges tions. The writer believes that they meet with the approval of the vot ing majority. - At any rate, the can didates for the various presidencies must decide whether they will deny the student body an opportunity to hear them say something. No doubt their attention has not been called to this need before. We do not believe that they either desire or ought to ig nore it. , , : open forum ; o ... A , CONSTITUTION IS NEEDED (By J. F. Ashby) The controversy arising out of ,the suspension from the University of the thirteen men for gambling again has forced to the front the matter of drawing up a constitution of the stu dent government here. Points at issue in the controversy have hinged in many cases around the question of what powers the council has in governing the student body; Concomitant with the desire to know the authority and duties of the Coun cil in methods . and procedure, the rights of individuals, protection from coercion (as to being forced to give self -incriminating testimony), and such established immunities have de manded a clear-cut definition. . ; v The projection of -these . auestions and others in the mind of the avert age student has caused men of in quiring and thoughf ul minds to con clude that there is an urgent need for written statement of the powers and limitations of the student coun cil in its procedure in the course of administering student government. A resolution to the effect that a consti, tutional convention be called at an early date was -offered and passed at the first assembly of the student body on March 11. Three men, interested in the adoption of a 'constitution, drew up a complete instrument . and recently. submitted it to the. student body through the onen forum column of the Tar Heel. , - ; Whether or not the student council proceeded according to precedent in the matter of having men testify a gainst themselves and their friends does not enter "here . more, than to serve as' a questioning index as to what will - follow later in like cases. If the student government is to func tion with the cooperation and sanc tion, of those governed, the methods of the officials should have the ap proval of the majority. It is meant thereby(to have a government by the will of the majority of the people, set forth in laws contained in a writ ten document. Such matters as de limiting the violation of the honor code to cheating, stealing and lvinar. the methods of procedure to be used by. the student council in apprehend ing" violators' of the honor' code, and those to be employed in trials, should ue uesiguattu in a -permanent iorm. lhese principles and methods laid down ; in writing will serve as a mu tual .protection for the, council and the student body." , v , ; It is not meant to rroDose here the adoption of a detailed constitution which would bind the functions of the council to a rigorous nrocedure in dealing . with every case, - The em bodiment of a code of, honor, a gen eral procedure and a bill of rights would best fill that which is needed. In view of the need of a written instrument which guarantees the rights of the individual and at the same time gives the student council an approved procedure with which to act we believe that the student body should respond to the motion already adopted. . A convention ' should be called and" a constitution should be adopted as soon as it can be drafted and approved by the students. Frosh Forensic Stars ; ; rVill Meet Davidson The freshman interscholastic debate between Carolina and Da- vidson will be held in M&y,. the exact date being yet unsettled. The University affirmative side will meet Davidson negative here. The Davidson affirmative and . Carolina -negative will de bate at Davidson.

University Women To Meet With Mrs. Stacy The local American Associa tion of University Women will meet Tuesday, April 5, at 4:30 at. the home of Mrs. Stacey Miss Herriet Herring .- will speak on ''Trends in Industrial Welfare :in. North Carolina." Reports .will be given, of othef state organization meetings re cently h,eld in Greensboro land the. biennial: cpnyention being held in, Washington,, D..C. The annual election of , officers will take place. Editor of Tar Heel: I am writine this before the re sults of the Referendum is published but it seems to me, that regardless of results that the student body of The University of North Carolina has been twisted, turned and sent head long into a vote ln which the ballots were fixed -to please the mind of some apprehensive person who arranged them. ..... In the first place the third clause stated GUILTY OF LYING when that was to have been the distinction be tween Aycock's- motion and Brown's motion. ' It seems that in a question as important as .this that some ope capable of making out ballots would have been duly authorized to do so and not let one who would state thinngs so that the careless voter would have mis-interpreted No. 3. The vvote was not' carried out : as was voted by the students in the meet ing Tuesday night. There was sun- posed to have been choice one and choice two but as it was there was only one choice offered and that gave one side a two to one advantage to begin with. Gentlemen of the STUDENT BODY IS THAT DEMOCRACY? ; Is that fair? Is the student body boss here or is it that our destinies shall be put in ,the hands of some unworthy per son as whoever the one was that let such ballots as these be used? This is not written against the STUDENT COUNCIL. Our council is worthy, just and honorable. They have done their : best They reDre- sent OUR STUDENT BODY and they too are to be included in this raw deal of the person who made out the bal lots. - .Whoever he is, whatever he is, and wherever he is, he has. done this stu dent body including the council and the thirteen men sentenced an injus tice because the vote of the" student body was altered and fixed to suit his rather mediocre ideas of STU DENT SELF GOVERNMENT.
