For This NEWS: RAY LOWERY Finale Of Freshman Politics H. J. B. in today's letter column asks us to let the "after math' of freshman elections die away, rather than printing successive repartees one day after the other from the two freshman political factions. , The freshmen, he says, are learning the art of being "slick politicians." ."Throwing dirt into a political campaign even after the candidates have been chosen is certainly not a de sirable addition to the campus life." v Mr. H. J. B. is certainly right in that the campus can dis cern the underlying motive of the repartee. Each of the two factions is attempting to gain the favorable attention of the campus by clever political strategy for future campaigns. But the "slinging of the mud" serves another broader pur pose. For example, the principle of whether or not an elected student officer should make his appointments on the "spoils system" basis is brought to light. The losing side it doesn't matter whether out of spite or not accuses the winning side of false motives in the selection of committee heads. The winners respond and attempt to justify their actions. Then, the campus- for future elections is at least aware , that the "spoils system" is being used. The voters are given a chance to see their leaders in action to 'examine them more closely as men and to see them out of their hiding places the offices they hold. We do not advocate free public mud slinging. Probably no more stories about this year's freshman political battle will appear in the paper. , Yet we believe it will be another century of student gov ernment before the campus learns to distinguish between the politician and the leader as long as the paper continues to print only matter-of-fact impersonal news about the activi ties of student officers. The price a leader pays for his position is a continuous responsibility to his electorate. No Grounds Shown As he was finishing a recent speech in his "fight for de mocracy," as he terms it, Dr. E. J. Woodhouse, political science professor who has stepped from the classroom into the field of practical politics to oppose an action taken by the sixth district congressional committee, was approached by a woman property owner of the district who informed him that she was circulating a petition to Governor Hoey and Dr. Frank Graham demanding the expulsion of the professor from the University. In an address Sunday Dr. Woodhouse remarked that he had no fear of the consequences of this petition, since Dr. Graham and Governor Hoey, he believed, were men who could be relied upon to uphold the democracy of free speech. He is justified in having this faith in the two men, but at the same time the matter of a university professor particK pating in "extra-curricular" affairs such as this must be considered in another light. Whether or not a professor should be encouraged to give public expression to his views perfectly sound, rather hazy, or just plain "crack-pot" may be overlooked for the moment to bring consideration down to a question closer to us. (If a professor, Dr. Woodhouse or any other, teaches his classes at the standard expected by the University and exer cises his proper functions as a citizen of the state, we can find no grounds for expulsion.) -Editor .Managing Editor .Business Manager .Circulation Manager Issue SPORTS: BILL SNIDER THE DAILY LETTERS To The Editor O NO MORE POLITICS To the Editor Dear Sir: ' The campus at present time is being treated -with a very peculiar after math to a campus election. Since the recent elections have been held for the freshmen your paper has been filled day after day with reports of political trickery among the freshmen candi dates those elected and those defeat ed. To US who have been on this mm pus for several years this is both an amusing and serious affair. It is amusing to the upperclassmen since the affair is being carried on by freshmen who seemingly are trying to learn the art of being slick politicians. On the other hand it is serious because if such a policy is started by this group when they are freshmen in all probability it will continue for the re maining four years of their college career. It is true that this campus of ours has all the markings of a true de mocracy. Anyone is open and free to express his or her opinion at any time. But the policy of throwing dirt in a political campaign even after the candidates have been chosen is cer tainly not a desirable addition to the campus life. So my request is that you quit pub lishing statements of the opposing parties. Let them settle their disputes in a personal way and not through the columns of the daily paper which the entire campus reads. It is the tra dition at the University that fresh man class officers never amount to anything else during their college days. Leave this as it is. So let's wait until spring for any more politics and clear the campus daily of the political stink. Signed. H. J. B. sc sc sjt ijc sjc BAD JOURNALISM To the Editor Dear Sir: I have a serious protest to register against the article by Mr. McAden that you printed in the Dahy Tar Heel for Saturday, November 5, and particularly against the head line, which read, "CPU Head Protests Action of Campus 'Reds' At Speech." Webster's , Dictionary defines a "red" in this sense as "a revolutionary; an anarchist; esp., one practicing or fav oring revolutionary socialism." This appelation I denounce not only as a gross example of flagrant editorializ ing in the news but as a false and slanderous attack on the signers of the leaflet. I am in no way a communist, "red," or advocate of revolution; and I refuse to have what I see as a grow ing liberal movement to rouse the cam pus from its political apathy lightly killed in its inception by the Daily Tar Heel or any vested reactionary group on the campus by classifying it as "red." The fact that we attacked Red baiting does not imply that we our selves are "Reds." Anyone who cannot see the difference between advocating revolution and attacking a reactionary speaker has neither the accuracy nor the responsibility to control a public organ of expression. I hope the re sponsible authorities of the Daily Tar Heel do not stand behind this fla grant misrepresentation of the truth. Sincerely, Lee Manning Wiggins. Editor's note: The staff of the paper regrets the substitution of the word "Reds" for the word "Liberals." It also regrets a reference to the stu dents concerned as frequenters of a downtown bookshop. The bookshop is a popular student gathering place and has many frequenters. sjc sfc fc sjc sfc 9 DISSATISFACTION To the Editor Dear Sir: ' From the editorial in Thursday's Daily Tar Heel I see that congratu lations to. the Athletic Association are in order. Let me congratulate them too on the profitable way they handle the students' pass books during the football season. For the compulsory athletic fee every student is given a pass book to all of the football, basket ball and baseball games here. It seems that the Athletic Association is un usually strict about the provisions contained "inside the cover" of the fall quarter pass book. They are not consistent about these provisions, how ever, because at the basketball or baseball games almost anyone can get in on anyone else's ticket without being bothered. There is evidently much more profit to be gained from having a person pay to enter a foot ball game than from one having to pay to enter a basketball game. Self-help students who have to work on the day of the game or students who cannot go for one reason or an other are not allowed to sell "their pass books. On the other hand, if a student cannot go or does not. want TAB hftki e GODDESS HORIZONTAL 1 Pictured Ital ian goddess. -6 She was called by the Greeks. 14 To place in line. 15 Driving command. 16 To rebroadcast. 17 Flavor. 18 Age. 19 Tarsus. 20 To bind. 21 To compose a story. 23 Venomous snake. 24 Plural pronoun. 25 Born. 27 Moist.

The follow ing fantasy is the writer's idea of what they might have said.) Last night a Senatorial candidate prepared himself for sleep. He was weary from the rigors of his cam paign, and he fell gratefully into the softness of his bed. The man tossed and murmured forth this soulful prayer to whatever power there be. PLEASE LISTEN TO ME! "Dear Power that watches over elections listen to my plea. Listen to all of the wonderful things that I have done for the people of my state. A few short days ago I was a business man, and a rich one. I minded my own business and made friends with all the politicians. When I wanted favors done I went to see them. And I got my favors done because I was rich. I even went to lobby for high tariffs in Washington taking time off from my business to do it. You see, dear Power that watches over elections, I have been serving the voters of this state. "Some time ago, the man that runs hings in this state the Big Boy who thinks that he is as great as You, came to see me in my office. He said that the voters of . my state needed me and that he was having a little rouble with his present boy I mean Senator, dear Power. He said this Big Boy in my state who makes more money than the President that he to go to the Student Entertainment, he can stand out in front of Memorial Hall and sell his pass book for what he paid for itvThe University has to pay hundreds of dollars every year for the Student Entertainment Series but is evidently very indifferent about whether the students go to it.. Yet in the case of football, where the players are not SUPPOSED to be paid, the pass books have to be used by the person "whose name appears on the cover" or it is not to be used at all. If a student sells his pass book anyway and it is taken up, he is vio lating the Honor System and is called upon to explain the "fraudulent use" of the book. There is not much respect for that particular phase of the Honor System, however, as seen by the fact that a very large number of students, especially co-eds, sell their books be fore every game. Apparently these students too are dissatisfied with the Athletic Association's policies. Sincerely, Robert Brawley.

I really didn't want to go, dear Power, I was making plenty in my business and Washing ton gets too hot. But he said that the voters needed me and that I was my party's man. So I said that I would run, dear Power, just to serve the voters of my state. HE SAID I WAS GREAT "Oh, by the way dear Power, did you hear what the Big Boy said about me when he announced my candidacy? He stood up and put his hand on my shoulder, and he called me a great American. A great American, dear Power, and a servant to the voters of my state. "Well, I guess you know the troubles we had during this campaign. The voters wouldn't listen to me until we spent a million dollars. It's getting so that you don't count in politics un less you can spend a million dollars on your campaign. I don't think that's right, dear Power, it's undemocratic or something. I know some hundred thousand dollar boys who have had their career killed just because they were poor . . . Say, we had plenty of trouble in our districts until we started putting warnings into the pay en velopes of our factory workers. That helped a little, but the voters in my state are getting hard to please. I DID EVERYTHING "I kissed a million babies and shook a million hands. And I always took my hat off to the flag when the Big Boy called me a great American. I told the business men I was their man, and I told the workers that my father was a boiler-maker. I had tea at the DAR and lunch with the Brotherhood of All Men. "Dear Power, these campaigns are expensive things. I spent a lot on the voters of my state. In fact, I've spent more than I would get in six years at the Senate. So you see dear Power, I just have to get into office. Because I really loye my people and the Big Boy say's that I'm his man. "I guess that I can go to sleep now and leave everything up to the Big Boy and you. No more babies to kiss. No more promises to worry about Nothing to think about very much except that the Big Boy called me A GREAT AMERICAN WHO OFFER ED HIS LIFE TO THE VOTERS OF HIS STATE. "Goodnight now."

She will discuss "Contem porary Poetry and the Poetic Mind" TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1938 Woodhouse Ends Barker Campaign (Continued from first page) the whole Democratic ticket. "Both parties have come to be gov erned by oligarchies and both need to clean house by routing out these false leaders and officers who have so little consulted popular will and so frequently imposed their own views, opinions and guesses. "We are making the best fght we can in this election and I wish that Democratic voters, dissatisfied with the treatment received in this prover sion of democratic machinery, will go to the polls and vote their preference. If the Republicans who have had the "rule of the few", too often will join with us in protesting and rebuking this undemocratic and un-American procedure, we can elect Barker as a symbol and an example of our devo tion to the rule of the people as op posed to the rule of the bosses. POLITICAL SCIENCE PROF CHARGES RING RULE "There is a ring in each of the four counties of the district and Chapel Hill headquarters is well known locally. This is not the only headquarters in the county and the Chapel Hill ring has been fairly well tied up, though not identical with, the Orange county ring. "Each county needs to bring its ring into the open and to fight it be cause such rings defeat democratic government. "They work best in secrecy through "executive sessions" and other under cover methods." Red Cross Call Will Be Made (Continued from first page) amount contributed, the result will be obtained.

Japan Justified, Says Prof essor (Continued from first page) exploiting China for her national re sources. HOSTILITY TO RUSSIA Japan is also hostile toward Russia. it was pointed out, because she is afraid of the appeal of the communis tic plan of the Chinese people. A "share-the-wealth" program has def inite appeal to the poverty-stricken Chinese. If Russia should gain control of China, it would mean that Japan will be cut off from her source of raw materials and that the two great- y populated countries on the west. Russia and China, will be her enemies. So Japan must do everything in her power to keep Russia out of China. Japans economic situation is also serious, it was stated. The population increases about 1,000,000 a year, and China would mean an outlet for this excess. Japan also believes that she can do as much for China as any of the European nations and through her aggression she is trying to carry out ;his theory.
