BOB VK7TY GA1THZU ,, llAKHWOU TENNET W W? TALKING WITH PETE We were tafldng to Pete Mullfe the other day; the topic came wp that there hadn't been much discussion of the physical edu cation question after the big session in the Di Senate the other week when the BMOC's were present, Pete isn't sure whether he so well explained the stand that Woollen Gym must take that the campus now understands or whether the opposition is saving its ammunition for a mighty blast soon. We think that most of the misunderstanding growing out of the situation has been due to the attitude taken by some of the lesser members of the department, namely, the instructors. But on the other hand we know of one instructor (Phil Hud son by name) whose class is almost a joy to attend. He is very considerate about tardies and cuts. Hudson takes in considera tion the individual and treats him as an equal instead of a cog in a machine. If some of the sour puss instructors which form a definite minority would start acting in the decent manner that some instructors act, we would have VOTE! Before every election, it has been the policy of the Tar Heel to beg the students to vote. This time we accept no originality and state: PLEASE VOTE AND VOTE FOR THE MAN NOT THE PARTY. CONSIDER THE CAN DIDATES ABILITY TO FURTHER THE WEL FARE OF THE STUDENT BODY. '. Th&Ram Sees ...

Their. BIL CffSP President of the Student Body If elected to the presidency of the Student Body, I pledge myself to the following objectives: (1) The introduction and continuation of a positive approach to the Honor System. The full benefits of the Honor System will never be realized until we who believe in it indoctrin nate newcomer with an incentive to be honest rather than not to be dishonest. (2) The appointment of an efficient Student Audit Board (a presidential prerogative) which shall keep a clone supervision over the expenditures of all student fee collecting agencies. (3) The investi gation of possibilities for better Student Entertainment series. The President of the Student Body is a member of the Student Entertain ment Committee. (4) Constant re minding, through word and action, of all members of Carolina's various Judicial agencies that they and my self, constituting an authority de rived from and administered for every citizen of Carolina, are at all times responsible to the students acting always in subservience to their will and as instruments for their welfare. No student govern ment agency or official constitutes a law unto himself. (5) Close co operation with the Student Legisla ture in the passage of legislation designed toward the betterment of -Carolina both as a University and as a community. (6) The final draft- ing of a Student Constitution whose purpose shall be to make particular separations of the legislative, ju dicial, and executive powers of stu- i dent government, and whose writing shall embody a statement of student rights which shall be guaranteed to every individual here enrolled. Whether elected or not, I , shall endeavor to see that these objectives ' 7 are fully realized. BILL McKENZIE President of the Student Body In order that the Student Body ,5 may know the basic principles for which I stand as nominee for the onee vt President f the ' Student Body I should like to submit the fol lowing platform. It must of neces, sity be only a brief outline of my plans to make Carolina Student Self-Government a properly func tioning unit. If elected I will ear nestly, sincerely, and agressively : strive to make these goals a reality. 1. The immediate formulation of ; a concise constitution clarifying and defining powers, duties and responsi bilities of each division of a three branch government Executive, Ju- ' dicial and Legislative. 2. The publication of a Student Information Handbook coupled with a complete and adequate orientation program for both faculty and stu dents. 3. A well planned, worthwhile en tertainment program which will be beneficial and enjoyable to the stu dent body as a whole. 4. Arrangements of campus acti vities so that Marine and Navy train ees may participate to the fullest extent. 5. In the preservation of student rights and interests, a closer co operation between student leaders and faculty in solving the problems which directly or indirectly affect the student body in part or as a whole. 0. In the interests of efficient Stu dent Government a unified procedure for the removal from office of any Student Officer who fails to uphold his duties and responsibilities to the student body. DOUGLASS HUNT Speaker of the Legislature An open letter to the student body: Platforms are designed to solicit votes. But I can't honestly ask for your vote and I don't want it un less you know, when you cast it, that your vote is but a part of the job you have to play in campus government. Being Speaker of the Legislature can be quite a task. If you really believe in democratic government, it's even harder, because it means one has to be willing to go a little slower so that more people can go along. We've found that out, for ex ample, in working on the proposed campus constitution. You'd be sur prised at how many different ideas there are about the way our govern ment ought to be organized. And all those ideas have to be sifted and con sidered before the constitution can be submitted to the legislature and MJ'iLJLCJL Platforms the campus. It's the same way with most of the problems which confront us. That's f why I subscribe to the Student Party platform. It calLj for re-examination of the student fee system by the students. It call3 for the rejuvena tion of the Tar Heel for the stu dents. And it calls for the auditing of the fees of all student fee-collecting organizations and a proper accounting to the students. All these things and the remain der of the program are based on but one fact: every student on the cam pus has an obligation to his govern ment, an obligation which you, Bke every other student, can only dis charge by constant participation in your government's affairs. On that basis, and no other, I ask your support. CLIVE THOMPSON Speaker of the Legislature As Speaker of the Legislature I would work wholeheartedly towards making your representatives a more unified body working for the better ment of student welfare and student government. I feel that through adequate orien tation of all new representatives this purpose could be more nearly accomplished. A thorough training of all members in parliamentary pro cedure would also facilitate the leg islatures workings. Permanent records of a constitu tion and all bills passed should be maintained. These records should be made public and should be available to students at all times. I believe that material to be dis cussed in legislature meetings should be given in a briefed form to repre sentatives beforehand" so they can present it to the groups they repre sent. Thus the delegate can more directly represent his faction by knowing their opinions on particular measures. If elected I shall diligently devote myself to fulfilling the position of Speaker of the Legislature and as sisting not only the legislature but the students at large. BOB MORRISON Tar Heel Editor Carolina deserves to have a Daily Tar Heel again. At present, a daily is not possible due to printing diffi culties and a small staff; but a daily must continually be the goal toward which to work. With proper man agement and conditions, we will re turn to the Daily Tar Heel soon. To prepare for a daily, the staff , must be enlarged and a greater cov erage of campus news maintained. Enough reporters should be assigned to cover minutely every campus ac tivity. Student workers and writ ers should be given more credit for their efforts by the use of a larger masthead and more by-lines. I see the student newspaper on this campus as an organ of students' rights, presenting a vigorous edi torial policy to help defend the stu dents. There should be an editorial board of men and women carefully selected from all groups on the cam pus. This board would be a cross section of student life at the Uni versity, designed to preserve the democratic spirit of the press. In order to maintain its dignity and power to fight for the student, the editorial policy must be consis tent. There should be a definite set of principles adopted to guide the editorial board in its effort to serve Carolina. Our Tar Heel must be quick to rush to the defense of stu dent liberties, but it cannot stoop to petty griping and evasion of the real issues. When our Tar Heel strikes against bad conditions, there must be no half-hearted effort. The Tar Heel, backed by the student body, must use its tremendous po tential to guide a sweeping cam paign against the evils as they ex ist. JIMMY WALLACE Tar Heel Editor How would you, as members of this student body, like to have the Tar Heel delivered to your door every time it comes out; a Tar Heel which you would WANT to read that is, seriously read for the benefit of its editorial comment and news coverage? That's the kind of Tar Heel which this campus used to have. It is the kind of Tar Heel which we do NOT have now. The Tar Heel used to be a daily. It can't be made a daily at the present time, but within a few months, perhaps such a move will be ST 4 A MODEL PLAN FOR On May 21, 1943, Editor Walter Damtoft, quoting from Emerson and wiping the tears from his type writer, wrote the last editorial the final "30" of the Daily Tar Heel. Thus ended a fifteen-year experi ment with the oldest college daily in the South on the campus of the University of North Carolina. The experiment was begun among shouts of "adolescents can't oper ate a daily newspaper!" and "times are too unstable; the University is not large enough yet." It was a hard pull all along the line. High-ranking staff members by the dozens flanked their aca demic work. Many an editor became a nervous wreck while trying to puU the campus out of its lethargy. Nevertheless, the drama of coUege students putting out a free press every day continued for fifteen years. When the end came, the rea son for defeat came in the dis organization of a university and na tion at war. With the war now rushing to a close, the first rays of the dawn of a new Carolina are breaking over the horizon. It is predicted that eight thousand students will throng this campus in the not too distant future. Of great importance in laying a firm foundation for this new and greater Carolina is the quick and accurate dissemination of information to the campus by means of the Daily Tar Heel. To give the student a bird's eye view of what organization will be necessary, for a Daily Tar Heel, here is a model plan for the staff. It must always be remembered that no pne student can make the Tar Heel a full time job. Although never achieved iri practice, the ideal con dition exists when no person works more than three hours per day. The staff is most conveniently divided into four divisions: news, business, circulation, and , editorial. News A managing editor is appointed by the Publications Union Board to act as the mechanic of the paper. He makes up every page except the editorial page, edits copy, assigns news, and works with the printers. The managing editor's duties are immense, but he delegates the re sponsibility so that in theory he is only a supervisor. The managing editor appoints specialized assis tants in charge of society, foreign, ..sports, and campus. Under each of these assistants work a number of reporters so that all phases of cam pus life are adequately covered. The society editor with reporters posted in every dormitory, fraterni ty, sorority, and social group writes (or rather, edits) a society column and assigns and edits all society news. The society editor should be a coed. . The foreign editor shoud be a specialist in current events. He possible. But there is another differ ence. The Tar Heel used to be an in teresting paper. Does the fact that it is no longer a daily paper necessarily less effective, less representative of the students? It shouldn't. What is wrong then? Probably the answer lies in the word "stu dents." As the word is used here, it means ALL of the students, be they Navy or civilian, fraternity or non-fraternity, male or female. Unfortunately, the word has not re cently been so inclusive in its mean ing. To have a successful Tar Heel, we must have a cooperative staff and the backing of the student body. Everyone has the opportunity to ex press himself on Thursday. It is a chance to once again make the Tar Heel the voice of the students all ' of them. That's the way it ought to be. DICK FORD Vice-President of the Student Body In running for the Vice Presi dency of the Student Body I am in favor of quicker and more efficient handling of the cases brought to the Honor Council. In the past a great deal of time has been lost due to a lack of collection of evidence at the proper time. In justice to those stu dents called before the council, the council should be able to arrive at a definite decision within a minimum of time. Hf elected I intend to see that the evidence for any given case By Robert Morria A DAILY TAR HEEL should be a rer-.Lr cf tr. Di, CPU, or IRC, and trLa'i a. najr in in ternational rela.tk.zz, .l.tka.1 sci ence, or related izl;eca. His daty is to edit all re- conir.g from sources of thecazspus (head phones, ticker, ne-srs releases, etc). The foreign editor may appoint several assistants. The sports editor should be very interested in sports. His duty is to assign beats to his reporters, who will comb the campus for all sport events. The campus editor is somewhat of an assistant managing editor. He should be keenly aware of ail cam pus activities not directly falling under the categories of sports and society. A number of reporters work under the campus editor in order to make his duties only two-fold: assigning and editing. The managing editor should also have several desk editors, night edi tors, and trouble shooters. Several feature writers and specialists must always be on tap. Connections must be kept with several faculty advis ors. Also a few handy men are kept around to act if an unusual situa tion arises. Business A business manager is appointed by the PU Board to supervise the finance of the newspaper. He ap points several assistants and edi tors in charge of national, Durham, and local advertising. The business manager must work with the man agement of the student fund to see that all money is wisely spent and carefuUy recorded. The business manager might be an accounting or commerce major. Circulation The PU Board appoints a circula tion manager to see that the Tar Heel is properly distributed to all subscribers. The circulation manag er should select several coeds to distribute the papers to each room, in the women's dorms and sororities and enough men to carry the papers to all men's dorms, fraternities, and throughout town. There should be several students selected to care for the mail subscribers and exchanges with other colleges. The circulation manager usually receives the high est salary paid to a student worker. Editorial The student body elects an editor-in-chief, referred to as "The editor." His responsibility is the complete management of all departments and all workers on the newspaper. The editor's responsibility lies in the make-up of the editorial page, but he also holds a veto over all activity of the paper. He is the watch dog and chief executive, selected direct ly by the students to safeguard their interests. He must be a person with campus popularity and an open mind. The editor appoints an editorial See MORRISON, page S will be in the hands of the council at the time the case comes to trial. I would cooperate to the fullest extent with the orientation pro grams and student welfare work done by the student council, and I believe that these plans should be expanded to cover a wider range of student problems and activities. BILL WARD President, Carolina Athletic Association As a candidate for President of the Athletic Association my prime concern is for the reorganization of the Monogram Club. This organiza tion has not functioned since the in auguration of the V-12 program in 1943. The V-12 students have every right to membership in the Monogram Club for they are now the backbone of the varsity teams and as such certainly deserve the compensation and prestige that an NC monogram carries with it. Through the Athletic Council the students have a voice in the athletic policies of the University. This coun cil is composed of ten members of which three are students: the presi dent of the student body, the Presi dent of the Athletic Association and a member elected by the Monogram Club. Reorganization of the Mono gram Club would give the students their full membership on the council and promote a fuller understanding of student opinion by the athletic administration.
