Dale Zeb C. Cummings H. A. Clark .Bill Jarman Friday, October 3, 1930 Senatorial Snoopers ' In North Carolina - Congressman Pritchard and his fellow Republicans aspiring to represent North Carolina in Congress will doubtlessly wel come the threatened visit of Senator Nye and -his fellow in vestigators to North Carolina. Timed as it is to occur just be , fore the general election in No yember and the visit of Presi dent Hoover the Republican leaders possible anticipate gath ering a few dissatisfied Demo crats of a type into the-Republican field that promised land of privilege and prosperity. We, despite the press reports emanating from Washington, cannot put much faith in the purpose of the committee's in vestigation of North. Carolina's primary. Perhaps 70,000 votes were stuffed into the ballot box es and perhaps thousands ,of New York dollars were poured into North Carolina, butut is highly improbable. . It's too much like the talk Mr, Pritchard has been passing around on how the Democratic party has deT parted from the principles of Jefferson and Jackson and has sold its birthright to the Pope, General Motors, and the Empire State Building. ; The whole, affair smacks of Republican propaganda and Re publican schemes to capture a place in the Senate and to re tain their two rather precarious seats in the House. It's good campaign talk for Mr. Pritchard. ; Jbut it cioesn t ring true. iSortn Carolina has managed to run its elections decently enough for the past thirty. -years" without the aids of Sherlock Holmes' only rivals. In fact, fraud and cor ruption are almost foreign to North Carolina. But at least we do not need the Republican high priests to tell us how to conduct a Demo cratic primary. We'd like to know just why they're so inter ested. A Better Penal System Within the past year instances have occured which have arous ed a storm of criticism among the citizens of this state." And rightly, too, if the element of justice is to be considered at all. The penal system of North Carolina is badly in need of a complete revising and installa tion of better and more capable officers. . Last summer during the in tense heat, a young negro con vict died, his death allegedly re sulting from the horrible treat ment he received from the con vict camp bosses. This prisoner was serving a sentence of ninety days for violating the prohibi tionN laws, and yet he paid . the highest penalty exacted of man. In another section of the state it was reported that the convict bosses were found in a drunken condition. The superintendent was ordered to discharge them, but this was not done until a sec ond order was given. At this same "place the prisoners stated that the treatment they received was anything but human, some of them being tied to trees, de prived of food, . and tortured with other outrages. Such a state of affairs is in deed deplorable. No matter what a prisoner's crime may be, he should be regarded as being at least a human. . Ana when a state with a government like that of North Carolina cannot pro duce a better penal system than that of the present, then some thing needs being done. HOPE FOR THE FRESHMEN This year's array of. freshmen is1 fast becoming adjusted to the strangeness of their new surroundings With the first quarter well under way, the new men are showing unmistakable signs of casting off the feeling of novelty, and are falling in like old-time ? veterans. Without mercy, the professors have launched forth their initial plunges into the realm of learn ing. Whatever he expected, the new man soon realized that it was more or less a matter of do or die with him, so that by now the majority have formulated definite ideas of the meaning of college, and have decided that after all there are other things of importance than football and co-eds. , ' . ' ; Aside from learning that only a conscientious application ; of one's abilities will inake the grade, he has been thoroughly drilled in the method of distin guishing, between a "bull ses- sion 111 U. a -cow session," the purpose of the arboretum',' the logic of being school spirited," the literary merits of the Carolina Buccaneer, the beauty, of male bare legs, et cetera. - In fact, not a stone has. been left unturned in, the effort to give him a big send off, and with such preparation, we are hoping that he will find few obstacles to deter him in making his first year a very profitable one.

OPEN FORUM THE DAILY WRITE ANGLES By Vass Shepherd j 'The bootlegger is fast becom ing as much, if not more, of a social asset as any of our law yers, ; doctors, ' and preachers. Just the other 'day Wilson Cald well, owner of the most modern and efficient still in Orange county, avoided prosecution by contributing $100 to charity. Such a donation in . these hard times is not to be spurned. What the state needs now is bigger, better and more philanthropic bootleggers! The campus cops will soon be baffled, no end. It is hard enough, for them to keep the battalion of motorcycles from using the sidewalks as high ways, but with the introduction of Austins to the town, and the appearance of the Sears and Roebuck speedster in the near future, there will be no way of keeping the library porch from being a parking garage and the lower campusipaths a racetrack. Probably the Old Well will be used as the only safety zone in the University. t. There - is still a mystery shrouding the process by which the Chapel Hill law prohibiting "leg.shows" in the neighborhood of the village can tolerate co-eds. However, our fair sister-students have had a very benefi ciary effect upon heretofore slothful students. The library, once a place to be avoided, is now thronged by students and sight seers. The Salvation Army it self could not effect a more com plete round-up. Mandeville Webb has intro duced the new "library glasses" to the campus. One lense is focused for short ranges, such as is useful for studying His tory. The other lense is for long distance observation, such as is useful in studying anatomy un ter the table ten feet away. His motto is: Let not thy right eye know what thy left eye ogles at. The University was host to some very brilliant ladies, ap parently from Durham, the oth er day at the football stadium. Among the high-lights of the repartee were such remarks as, "I can't say it's as pretty as Duke's but it's right pretty, though. ... You know, my dear, I can tell twice as much about a team from watching them practice than I can in a game ; look at that man in the back changing his hat. I wonder why they all have to fall down ; it would be" so much better to look at if they did a little bit more running around than lying down all the time. . . . Hasn't Mr. Col lins got pretty legs." And still they let 'em vote ! . Musing over Cigarette ads, one could wonder if Old Golds would help the Carolina cheering to any great extent.

TAR HEEL Co-Edna Comments By Edna Morisette The latest wrinkle Jn the Romeo and Juliet racket seems to be to serenade the sweet young things by telephone. On Tuesday night a group of "wan dering" minstrels called the second floor of Mrs. Spencer's Hall and gave us a little musical treat two numbers to be exact. So sweet of them ! But that isn't all. They didn't want the rest of the girls to feel slighted so they came around in person, parked their T-model (or what have you) on the side next to the president's mansion and proceed ed with their vocal exercises. We give them a rising ;vote of well, call it appreciation. Have you ever seen a co-ed study math? Then you've missed a lot.

Tea And Repartee At Co-ed Social The co-eds of Spencer Hall 'tee-ed off' yesterday afternoon at four o'clock with a record throng of femininity parading their Sunday-best to their next door neighbor, proving the old, eld statement that a dress looks better when on than hanging in the closet next to the old wash dress hat's four years old. The usual line of chatter went its rounds, and the ball of conserva- tion was Idef tly passed from one to, the other, with no one holding a buttered statement too long for fear of having waited so long that the damsel in the next chair had had time to think of a long winded experience about a trip to Washington when she saw, yes, actually saw Lindbergh ! And he smiled at her! Yes, she knew he did because nobody else was around at the time. In deference to the teas. in the North or the Teas in France and England tea was served. Don't ask me what they serve in the aforementioned place because I don't know I've only heard but there is always a chance. The cakes were good and the de corations tastefully arranged--but whether they were noticed is another story -and for a more expert writer. The conversation was the thing and now every body knows about everybody else and next Wednesday they'll meet again to report not that it matters but gives one an ex cellent chance to tell secrets arid talk about ones-self .
