The Asheville Citizen on

detailed story of the triumph of
Miss Pugh in the recent concert
at Daytona Beach, Fla., when
she captured the attention of the
country. Aside from the musi
cal importance of being soloist
with the Minneapolis Sympnony
orchestra under the direction of
no less a celebrity than Henri
Verbrugghen and the news in
terest of flowers sent her by
John D. Rockefeller, her success
was the more interesting be
cause, due to the fact that the
orchestra is constantly traveling
from point to point and there

Miss Pugh played without a re

; For Next ;
- Candidates Speak In
; . A
Candidates For- Presidency Of
Student Body Issue Statements
(By Marion Alexander)
Appreciating the request of
various voters for a statement
of - my . policy in regard to the
important position of ; President
of the Student Body, I am glad
I glad to make herewith, for pub
lication in the Daily Tar Heel,
the following statement. .
Two questions, it seems, are
paramount in interest to the
student body. First; Why am I
a candidate? Second, What will
Ifo, or expend my best efforts
toward doing, if the student body
sees fit to confer this high honor
unrneTr-VJ;.,,.;:." LjVV
.'piese questions I shall at
tempt "to answer as ( briefly,
frankly and openly as possible.
In the 1929 elections, 19 of
31 'places, including the , bulk of
the major-. offices were filled
without a vote cast. Candidates
feared and refused to buck the
one gigantic political party, on
the campus. The same party in
the balloting that followed car
ried the, other 12 places for a
clean sweep xf all offices. ,
The. ' politicians i responsible
had had a great day, but whathpf
the students body?, : - , : .
It is my contention that self
government has always and
MUST ALWAYS be as strong,
and no stronger, than the in
terest the voters take in then-
government, the part they play
in it. ,
Such interest and participa
tion is impossible when three
politicians in a back room ' can
so juggle offices between differ
ent cliques and so bargain for
support that it is impossible for
the student body to . defeat the
politicians' will, and for it to se
lect the officers which it wants.
. I say nothing against the 31
men elected that day.. I know
them all, like them all, and have
a sincere respect for them. Some
were the -best men. for their
places, some were not, but : be
that as it may,. ours is a govern
ment of the student body, and
the student , body s should have
the right to decide who is the
best man. ; . r .
Three years of being a stu
dent and three years of being
in the closest touch with every
phase of the University tliroughwhich reciprocity aims at the
my publicity work in the News
Bureau made me feel- that a
crime had been committeed
against the student body in that
election, but I had no more idea
than any of the other helpless
bystanders that I should get a
chance this year to fight such
conditions. r
A number of fraternity and
non-fraternity campus leaders
concurred this year in my senti
ments, agreed that the student
body should select its officers,
not the politicians, and that the
non-fraternity men should have
just representation, and pledged
their support if I would run on
such a ticket. V .
Under such conditions,' and
with the express understanding
that I should go in office, if at
all, unbound by pledges to any

Will Choose Officers
Year Today; Presidential
(By R. C. "Red" Greene)
To the student body of the
University of North Carolina:
The editor of the Daily Tar
Heel has agreed to print in his
columns statements made by the
two student body presidency
candidates in regard to their at
titude toward student and cam
pus questions.
1. If elected president of
the student body, I will demand
of air classes and all student or
ganizations, collecting and dis
bursing student funds, audited
and certified statements as to the
collection and expenditure of all
such funds. ";; . .
2. - In the past there has been
altogether too little representa
tion of f every element - of the
campus. It is my sincere hope
that, regardless of who is elect
ed; the next administration shall
inaugurate a system of greater
representation ; viz., the election
of representatives by each and
every student unit on-the cam
pus to a central advisory couri
cilj formed solely to advise and
aid student ofecials in carrying
out administrative policies.
5 3. I believe in a; square deal
for every Carolina man and in
the event of my" election the
the event of my election the stu
dent council would consider each
individual case, ignoring prece
dents, thus guaranteeing ; that
each" case handled would be !
judged upon human values alone.
4. The presidency of the stu
dent body should guarantee in
dividual liberty of speech, action,
and thought. The position is a
dignified one and not that of a
hired detective, , whose sole un
healthy purpose is to ferret out
any so-called violations of the
student code.
: 5. I believe in the integrity of
the Carolina honor system as a
system and would pledge myself
to its full and sane application.
,6. I believe that the student
body presidency should foster
the logical development of intra
mural athletics, guaranteeing an
opportunity to every, student to
develop his physical ability to its
fullest extent.
7J In order to enjoy the full
benefits of reciprocity among
various colleges of the state,
mutual v exchange- of student
rights such as free admission to
athletic games,vand of all other
phases of student life, I am in
terested in the . establishment of
a state federation of students.
8. Any regime which I should
be connected with would be con
secrated to the task of knitting
together whatever factions may
be in existence. The Carolina
spirit of cooperation and friend
ship must be preserved..
In. closing, I am under no
pledges,; promises, obligations,
or ties to any oneinan, clique,
or organization, and . I stand for
free expression of the will of the
student body and their inviola
ble right to direct the adminis
tration of student government
here.
Sincerely,
"Red" Greene
