' Ac cording to my conception of the honor system, non-officials are on , their honor not to. violate rules and use all their influence, to prevent . violation by others.- However, prevention .. of violation is not best executed by re porting a violator for a crime already committed, and a non-official ,who re sorts to such tactics therefore fails to live up to the honor system to the fullest extent? Of course this does not mean that the conscientious one must spend his time instead in reason ing and pleading with - the miscreant, for as a rule unordained preachers are resented and detested almost as much as are unauthorized policemen. In" either case the individual criminal ' irreparably ; embittered and nothing "is. gained for the institution. Zealous j up-holders of the law "can only accomplish-their . purpose by ef fective ridicule or by other isolation of the sentiment of the violator. Only then does thelaw lose its artificiality and function as a common agreement of -a group in' which each Individual demonstrates to what1 extent he is in accord with the ruling majority. . To say the least, it is a sordid life if one must appoint one's self the -un-appointejd aid to those whose duty. it is to " dispense with " the unpleasant business of the institution. Let us rally to the cause of those who have tact or ingenuity enough either to enf orce the 'law or .to create a sensa tion in a pleasant and original way. Hats off. and three cheers to "anyone whaean -accomplish either feat! ., In case this dissertation should not prove as complete as it now seems to the . writer, further advice to those interested in the gentle art of rules and rulings will be gratuitously granted by, , ! Yours trully, : ' A CO-ED. WHEN X WAS A BOY A Plan for the . Organization of Our Undergraduate Student Body ---By JOHN M." BOOKER The' following proposal grew out of my consideration of- the debating societies, when I was Chairman of! year an upper house, to be known" ; To the Editor: V ; When I Was a boy, years and years ago, there was some agitation at the then young University of. North Car olina for a building to be 'used as "a social center for the campus. The idea was considered good, and .the student publication (we had one then, too) gave a whole, issue to the pur pose of advancing : the notion ! Enthusiasm quickly " spread, and numerous' donations were! . received from , men all over the state. ; Work was begun on the. project, which was called which was cayied-r-oh, yes, remember, which was called - Graham Memorial. And from'that day to this, Mr. Editor, the work .has been going on. For nigh on oh, many years man and boy, I ; have watched ; the work i progress.. The , first fifty years of my life my eyesight began to crow dim. but as far as 'I know, it r . was progressing. I got to know a good many of the workmen on the job. (Sometimes they were.) They were finetnen, but as the years rolled on they, became old. and manv errew beards which interfered with, the freedom of their movements as they worked about the building And some diedf ksid some became infirm and sick; ' It is of these men I wish to write. It seems to me, Mr. Editor, that something should be done for these loyal men who have worked so long trances to these buildings. for this Vioble purpose. Can; we not But down in the quadrangle if the nave a Fund for Aged Graham Mem- 2. A legislative arm, consisting of two houses elected for terms of one the- old Student Life and Activities Committee, back in President Gra ham's ' administration. It seemed to me then, as it seems to me still, that one of the main problems of the societies is to feecf them questions for debate .that not only grow out of student life, but also lead to decisions affecting the same. It is true that at. present the societies are at liberty to., debate student problems until they are black in the face. But the budding lacks its 'sauce; their conclusions do not lead to 'action. The result is that their debates remain in the realm of the" purely hypothetical, where the at mosphere is so rarified that only sea soned veterans of ' ' Faculty debates can live in it, and only the hardiest of these can thrive. The debate at Phi Society last Tuesday night was on the; resolution : "B it j resolved that ignorance is bliss." - And the answer? : I found it embalmed in a distinguished dean's reply to a no less significant question, in a report to the ' Association of American Univer-J versities: .. " 'Yes' and 'No declar ed this worthy official; "and emphati cally both." ...' From the starting point outlined above, the; present plan grew to the proportions about to' be set forth. I let4 it have the air first, in a frag mentary manner, two' or three, years ago, at the Carolina -Inn, after a supper given to the heads of student activities organizations anci the Stu dent.5 Activities . Committee now,' I believe, defunct. The , reception it met with then was indifferent not to say chilling. Itsvpublication now is prompted by' the state "of the lionor system as revealed locally last Spring. The same has been looming on our bwnhorizons so long, that it is about ready to loom over. ; , i -So here goes. Be it resolved: I I. That the government : of the undergraduate student body be orga nizedunder the following branches: ; 1. An Executive consisting .of a President and a Vice President elect ed, from the Senior Class by the stu--dent, body voting as a whole, ; and such aids in the form of a Cabinet or bf committees, elected or appointed, ai time and experience develop a need for. as the Di Senate, and a lower house, to be known as the Phi Assembly. The Senate should be composed - of about fifty members from the Junior and Senior'elasses; the Assembly, of not over 200 members from all four classes. The voting for members of these .houses' could be done by the student body voting as a whole or by classes' or" by County; Clubs or -by schools and- departments or by dorms and f rats or by any divisions that the student body might , decide upon after due time fort consideration. Propor tional ' representation, as would the matter of responsibility to consti tuents, ' would have to be worked out contemporaneously with that pro-bleml : 3. A ' student . Court consisting of nine members from the Junior -and Senior classes elected for their college life by the student body voting as' a whole this court to decide upon all cases - of .discipline brought .to" , it by the students, and. to give final inter pretations as to . the functions , of fthe executive and legislative branches whenever., questions of authority - or procedure arise. " ; ,.'. II. That- the student body thus or ganized make and execute, the laws governing -its ; life in all fields- that may be relinquished to it from time to time by. the faculty- and 'trustees. ! Space doesi. not permit 1 discussion here of the details of this plan, but I may point out two advantages. . En tirely ? aside from the life ..this' plan might pump into the Di , and Phi Societies, which is a minor matter, comparatively speaking, this .plan would practice our students - in the form . of government" 'thley will live under; and it would give the campus a representative ' and respo.ii sible body to ; decide its vital issues, -such, for instance, as he honor system, referred to above. It must be quite apparent to the naked eye and it half shut, that the , present Student; Council system, however ef fictent in its way, is hot' constituted to get,: give, create, or -: execute the volume of student conviction that is essential to any great, general lasting reform of any kind, whatsoever. luckless freshman happens to forget where he rooms, how can 4ie find it? When parents arrive; for a visit, how can they find ; the dormitory which is so fortunate as to ' shelter their "son? There's not , a name in sight. By constant association with the quad for four, years the senior may learn that the names of those four red brick structures are Grimes, Ruff in, "Mangum and , Manly; but how is the stranger to know? . And as for those newer buildings, now familiarly known as "West Dur ham," not eyen a period of four years of association has taught us their proper names. . F, G, I and J we be lieve they are sometimes called. But then again we have heard that they are to be called . Aycock, Graham, Everett, and Lewis. The point is: what are their names and why can't we see them?. . Witht;p"erf ectly good empty spaces over the doorways, we. see no ; reason why the names ; of- all dormitories should not be 'inscribed, : engraved, written, carved or whatnot in plain sight of a Q the students! ' nrial Workers? Something' should be done to keep interest alive in that work. There arj, many who' have be come so . old .that, they cannot move around or go out of doors.. They should be ennabled to live together in one place. May I suggest' that the Memorial building be used for this purpose? The Fund for Aged Workers could be directed toward ths purpose". But let us help these men who have been connected .with Gra ham Memorial so long. They need it, more, apparently, than we need the building. : COL FAIRFAX. ' Wants Afternoon Mail ; It is not of needs of former times nor needs in general of which. I wish to write; but of one particular need, a very urgent one, of this Univer sity. We, have sufficient athletics; we have suitable courses for almost every profession ; nothing is wrong with our rooms; we have plenty of entertainment; yet something is lack ing. Students in the past have been forced to do without it but 'I regard it as an essential thing in college life and somebody ought to do- something to remedy the situation. We need a larger gymnasium ' and the Graham Memorial ought to be completed,' but j we can get along, without them at present. Some -of our classes are rather boring and the lecture system in 'Freshman History should be abol ished but we can worry along wih them all . right. I am sure, that, most of the students in this institution will agree with me! that our greatest need is a delivery of mail on Sunday after noons. Just think ..how , much . more, enjoyable .it would make these long, dreary .Sunday afternoons if mail was delivered to us poor homesick and perhaps, lovesick boys who would like very , much - to receive a consoling letter from - home or the girl friend. ' It 4s not' only pleasant but, in some cases, necessary. Some times a fellow may Je. without money and a check from his dad on Sunday would come in mighty handy. I realize that I have fallen short of proving all the advantages of Sunday mail, so I appeal to men more gifted in the art of writing than I to en ter into a campaign for a delivery of mail on Sunday afternoons.-. .

They say he'll , be in the stadium when Carolina meets Virginia at Charlottesville on Thanks giving day! ; i In the light of the recent, demise of the Solid South (or perhaps we, should say, "She' is' not dead but bolting") a Virginia paper the other day recalled a football story about the.. University of s North Carolina At the same time it called for' a re vision of the story. The original tale was that the Carolina coach, between the halves of a game with Harvard, after using all the other epithets at hand in encouraging his players, cried as a crescendo, "And remember, boys, every, one of those, fellows is a Re publican!" r - And now the Massachusetts of Harvard goes Democratic' and the North Carolina of the Tar Heels goes Republican. .The. coming of ; Calvin Coolidge to the Virginia-Carolina game is revision enough.
