STEWART FAVORS
STUDENT POLL
ON BUCCANEER
Minister Terms "Buc"
As "Gross Example Of
Futility Of Thought"
Following a sermon in which he
termed the Carolina Buccaneer "a
gross example of futility of thought,"
Dr. Donald Stewart, Presbyterian
minister, yesterday advocated a stu
dent poll to discover sentiment con
cerning the magazine.
He said he believed that if students
realized the notoriety which the maga
zine has brought the University they
would certainly cast their votes in
favor of a revision of the Buccanee's
present policy.
CORPSES
Dr. Stewart took as an example
the photographs of corpses from the
medical school in the last issue of
the magazine. He stated that, in the
first place, the use of these pictures
was an insult to the humor of most
students, as the pictures had no evi
dent bearing on the policy of the
magazine as a humor publication.
He added that the photographs of
Negro "stiffs" must necessarily create
a feeling of resentment among Ne
groes, a distinct disservice to that for
which the University stands, which
evidently these enlightened apostles
of necrology and overlooked.
Furthermore, he said, "It is tragic
that such a magazine can be produced
by an obstensibly educated group and
at the time when the crisis our times
is in need of something other than
sophisticated nonsense and blase in
aninity; but perhaps this is too much
to hope from such liberated spirits'
Dr. Stewart also criticized use of
the name, Jesus Christ in the maga
zine. The last issue, in a list of "pre
dictions," said "Jesus Christ accepts
CPU invitation to birthday party."
Dr. Stewart question the humor any
right-thinking" person could see" in

Body To Draw Up
Slate Of Officers
For Spring Elections
First signs of activity by the Uni
versity party in preparation for the
coming political season became evi
dent yesterday when Chairman Studie
Ficklen announced the membership oi
the party's steering committee. The
23-member body will hold regular
meetings and draw up a slate of txffi
cers to represent the party in the
spring election. '
"The University party steering com
mittee represents every section, of the
campus," Ficklen asserted. On the
committee of 23 members are 11 rep
resentatives of the fraternities which
are active members of the party, and
12 non-fraternity men.
Ficklen pointed out that the rep
resentation includes self-help students,
athletes, publication men, student gov
ernment leaders, and participants in
many other phases of campus life.
The party liberalized itself last
year by taking in enough non-fraternity
steering committeemen to give
this element a majority of one.
CAPABLE COMMITTEE
"We used the same method this year
as we did last in selecting the non
fraternity representatives," the party
chairman said. "University party can
didates won 23 out of 30 offices last
spring. This, we believe, is sufficient .
indication that the University party
had a steering committee capable of
nominating the right men."
The complete membership of the
steering committee, as announced by
the chairman, follows: Ficklen,
George Riddle, Alan Truex, Phil
Schinhan, Harry Winkler, Bill Mc
Cachren, Louis' Perry, Gilly Nicholson,
Julian Lane, Horace Richter, Dave
Morrison, Felix Markham, .Dick Wor-

LOCAL NCPA TO
HEAR DR. JONES
Turnstall Urges
Large Attendance
Dr. J. P. Jones, local dentist, will
address a meeting of the student
branch of the North Carolina Phar
maceutical association in Howell hall
tonight at 7:30. The topic of his
speech will be "The Relationship of
Dentistry to Pharmacy."
Joe Turnstall, president, of the
association, will preside over the
meeting and "has urged all members
of the group and all interested out
siders to attend.
ONLY STUDENT BRANCH
The activity of this group is inter
esting in view of the fact that it is the
only student branch of any state or
national Pharmaceutical association in
the United States and has received
much recognition especially in this
state. Organized some three years ago
by several students in the pharmacy
school, including W. J. Smith and
Herman Thompson and members of
the faculty, it has been quite active
in bringing to the campus many out
side speakers and presenting pro
grams which have proved interesting
to the general student body as well as
the pharmacy students.
During the fall quarter of this year
the group presented as speakers, the
president of the state association, a
hospital pharmacist and several other
prominent men. The local group now
has about 70 members and is planning
to initiate several new members soon.
Tar Heel Renews
"Happy Birthdays"
The Daily Tar Heel today will
renew its former policy of con
tributing to the "Happy Birthday"
of students - by printing a list of
birthdays on the editorial page. E.
C. Smith, manager of the Carolina
theater, will award theater passes
' to the celebrating students whose
names appear. .
This quarter's list was compiled
by Misses Louis Jordan, Doris
Goerch, and Dot Coble, after many
hours in the Central Records office.
Its compilation has been delayed
until students were registered
properly.
