A PRACTICAL
LEGISLATURE
The following poem was written by
Lawrence H inkle and delivered dur
ing coronation exercises oi student-
Faculty day:
My friends, if I may call you friends.
Who've gathered here for sundry ends
-The most, I think, to see at play,
Those ponderous beasts who hold at
bay .
Their cringing classes every morn,
(Except forsooth,
Such guileless youth ,
As came in late with face unshorn,
And then became a trifle bored
And curled up in the rear and
snored).
But I digress my soul be blessed,
I really should keep off digress
The faculty, of whom I speak,
Today youH find are very meek,
And though they're not entirely tame
They're definitely not the same.
In fact, if you're a fearless man,
You can even feed them from ; your
hand; .
But if you lure them from their lair
To try this feat, do have a care
(They wouldn't bite you certainly
not
But still, they eat an awful lot.)
My Friends, do homage to our King!
Please do; it's such a little thing
The tamest of these awesome men f
Did very gladly condescend
To sit upon our throne today
And oyer all our fun hold sway.
He is a gentle king and good,
Most generous of the royal blood.
For poor is the man quite poor, I
say ' . ; -
To whom he will not give an "A."
Our Queen my Friends, for words I
lack
She is the fairest of the Shack,
In all our school the fairest lass
Who ever primped her hair on class.
As fitting for this Queen of Queens,
Her courtiers are ferocious Deans,
Who sit before her quiet and meek,
Since they don't

any queries,

Have fun, my friends, have fun and
play!
The truce will last but for a day!
Peace be on earth, good will toward
men.
Are you in favor of the campus legislature proposal?
' In weighing the issue, voters can ask themselves two
questions: (1) Is there a need ;f or a campus legislature,
or is the proposal "philosophical speculation" on the part
of activity men?" and (2) .Will the plan proposed be
successful in meeting that need?
In answering the first question, Bob Magill listed 28
specific instances arising this year when the student
council was forced to make legislative decisions that may nd spak to all who to them speak,
or may not have been the democratic sentiment of tne cannot answer
student body. .
Magill and the council have shown the need in the
inner circles of student government. A need of a govern
ment is a need of the people it governs.
The need for a legislature is a practical need to facili
tate the functionings of student government. Actually
student government will be made more democratic, general

plan's more practical aspect that some organ of student The egg shall scramble with the ham,
v government must be created to make decisions for the I Come, Carolina's sons and daughters,
campus.
Will the Plan Work?
The plan proposed is simple and flexible. It stakes no
claim to being a constitution for future student govern
ment. It is brief document. But it does not immediately
follow that it is inadequate.
All legislative powers of the student body, say the
drafters, should be vested in the legislature. Ultimate
control remains in the hands of the campus itself, since
the student body has the power of referendum on 16 per
cent petition.
To encourage thoughtful action by representatives, the
committee of drafters gives the council the power of
veto. But that veto is subject to a two-thirds override
by the legislature.
Financial measures, in respect to campus pocketbooks,
require the consideration of a two-thirds favorable vote.
The 48 representatives may be chosen by a variety of
means, ranging from selection by the interfraternity and
interdormitory councils to election of ten members-at-large
by the legislature itself. The ideal is a proportional,
accurate reflection of the campus.
If the plan is not adequate, if experience shows it to

DIRTY WORK AT
THE CROSS-ROADS
Hazing has been officially abolished at the University,
but many of the visiting motorists who passed through
the East Gate of the campus last Sunday got a good taste
oi it. iirawn to Chapel Hill by a particularly alluring
combination of state-wide publicity on the University vil
lage's floral display and the new gymnasium, these tran
isient guests of the state University were met with
what could hardly be considered hospitality or even cour
teousness."
r 1 - .- .....
Clustered on the corners of the East Gate's cross
streets were quadrangelites (apparently) who had a good
afternoons fun after the manner.of a grade school recess
"This way to the new gymnasium!" No, this way!" "Whoa
there! Finally some ingenious soul even secured a police
man's whistle and contrived further to confuse motorists
entering a strange town. ' ,
Now the visitors took all this good-naturedlv. and in
spite of their shameful reception succeeded in absorbing
great quantities of Chapel Hill's natural and cultural
beauty. But such conduct was quite unnecessary on the

will be holding open-house to the state, and therefore

preparation, tne university is arranging with the city
fathers to have an officer on duty at the East Gate to
control traffic, an officer who will doubtless be able to
control traffic by himself. And so in the spirit of the
occasion, students should see that the affair runs off as
smoothly as possible, since they; as much as the adminis
tration or the villagers, share the role of host to the
people of the state. L. I. G.

Elizabeth Malone .
Nominated from the floor at the
Woman's association meeting, Eliza
beth Malone was selected to oppose
the candidate of the council nominat
ing committee for president of the
association.
Since arriving here' from Grenada
college in Mississippi, she has been
appointed to the junior class execu
tive committee, appointed to the
YWCA publicity committee, and the
Student-Faculty Day coronation com
mittee. ..
Miss Malone was one of two jun
iors selected to make the annual Play
maker tour, and was director of the
Mid-Winters Cabaret held in the
Carolina inn.
In coed athletics she has partici
pated in archery and bowling tourna
ments of the Woman's Athletic asso
ciation. She recently was elected -to
serve on the student vestry of the
Episcopal church.
Although Miss Malone received a
scholarship to All Saints college in
Mississippi for achievement in schol
arship and leadership, she attended
Grenada where, in her second year,
she was president of the Pan-Ameri
can Student forum and Mardi Gras
queen in 1936.
Other offices held at Grenada in
cluded vice-president of the Little
Theater, member of the Athletic coun
cil, and author of the class day
prophecy.
During 1936-37 she served as as
sistant director of dramatics m
Clarksdale (Miss.) high school while
taking a commercial course.

tainment committee; and the president
of the Athletic association.
The latter four organizations were
selected to be represented because
they collect , student fees, and conse
quently their budgets would be in a
position for the legislature to pass on
them.
The text of the proposed plan was
presented in yesterday's Daily Tar
Heel In its first form the plan was
drawn up by Allen Merrill and Jim
Joyner, appointed by Magill from a
committee of 10 selected to draft the
plan.
The plan grew out of the increasing
need for a means of the student body
to function as a legislative group.
The council in the past has had no
legislative power that has not been
contested.
In its judicial capacity the council
has jurisdiction over any misconduct.
In 1926 it extended its jurisdiction to
surveillance over the conduct in office
of student officers.
Anne Perry ...
Miss Anne Perry, nominating com
mittee selection for presidency of next
year's Woman's association, is good
proof that the "weaker sex" cannot
be outdone when it comes to going
in for extra-curricular activities.
Since transferring from Smith col
lege, where she participated in every
branch of student activity, she has
held numerous important positions
here.
She has especially been identified
with YWCA work at the University.
She was chairman of the Human Re
lations committee of the YWCA and
chairman of the Venidas peace group
She was the University YWCA rep
resentative at the Christian Youth
Movement meeting at Oxford, Ohio,
and the YWCA appointed her to rep
resent it at Washington for the con
ference with NYA officials on fed
eral aid for education.
Miss Perry is a member of the ex
ecutive committee of the Southeastern
International Relations conference.
Other activities of this, her first year
here, include vice-presidency of the
Carolina League for International
Cooperation and membership on the
Carolina Magazine staff.
At Smith college, she was freshman
class representative on the Smith col
lege' Association for Christian Work,
member of the American Student
union, chairman of the Freshman
Friendship council, co-chairman of
the Campus Peace committee, mem
ber of the steering committee for an
anti-war strike, representative of her
school at a World Youth congress,
representative on the Emergency
Peace campaign, and her school's
delegate to the Student Conference of
Northeastern colleges.
PLEDGE DONALD DUCK
Theta Chi House Yesterday Walt Disney off
daily approved the pledging of Donald Duck t
"After some deliberation, Mr. Donald Duck has a?rf4
to become an honorary member of Alpha Eta Chapter (n
Theta Chi), and I think his decision was brought abo-
entirely by your mention of certain dates, soV fccC
the girls don't forget him! " "

To Fritz Banner goes credit for Donald's pledg
ing:. His letter to Hollywood was a masterpiece
of absentee rushing, making special mention cf
the tender attention Donald would receive at the
hands of our 300 co-eds.
A pledge pin for Pledge Duck will probably be
sent within the next few days. He will be granted
full privileges.

MASTER BAMBOOZLER
Matty Geis, coach of the Princeton team'wnich
ran here yesterday afternoon, obviously came to
Chapel Hill intent on bamboozling naive Caro
linians. First day he was here he got our Coach Dale
Ranson into a game of tossing javelins at squares
of tin for pennies, and nearly stripped him of a
month's salary. Then he swore that his team's
trainer, Arthur Larson, was once chief masseur
to the .King of Sweden.
Next he assured a Daily Tar Heel sports re
porter that one of the Princeton hurdlers, named
O. B. Joyful, had slept through Durham on the
train and was lost somewhere in eastern North
Carolina.
Both the name and the story smelled fishy to
Shelley Rolfe, who made up his mind to hit back
at Geis's prankishness as Writer Rolfe was enjoy
ing Student-Faculty day in Southern Pines. To
Matty Geis, Rolfe and a companion sent this tele
gram, collect: i
"DEAR COACH. WILL BE BACK IN TIME
FOR SACK RACE TOMORROW. O. B. JOYFUL."
That should shut up the prankster from New
Jersey!
Yesterday Writer Rolfe went down to get the
Carolina-Princeton track meet line-up. First he
gaped, then he ran, when he saw listed as the
visitors' No. 4 hurdler Otto B. Joyful.

JUDGMENT WITHOUT PREJUDICE
To the Editor,
Dear Editor:
I believe I did not make myself clear ia my
statement to the Tap Heel concerning the sys
tem of nominations and elections among' the
women students.
The nominating board for this year was fairly
and thoughtfully chosen, and included represent
atives from all women's groups. However, the
plan suggested which requires that nominations
from the floor must be passed by a majority of
those present does not seem entirely democratic.
I woukf favor a plan whereby those desiring to
suggest a nominee present a petition signed by a
representative number of women.
I believe that the nominating board should in
clude the president of the Woman's association
and three members from each of the three wom
en's groups on the campus as did this year's
Board. If eel that the decisions of this group
would most nearly satisfy all women's factions
if each elected its own representatives.
Also, it seems illogical that members of the
Women's association who only come to the meet
ing in which nominations are presented should
have as much voice in nominations as those
come regularly. For a stronger and more intelli
gent form of women's government I suggest that
only those women be allowed to take part in nomi
nations and elections who have come to a certain
number of Woman's association meetings.
Let's vote this year with judgment and forget
our prejudices.
Sincerely,
POLLY POLLOCK.
