FIVE PROVISIONS
OF SENIOR PLANK
UP Candidate
Will Stimulate
Class Interest
By LOUIS HARRIS
Jimmy Howard, star athlete
and
Monogram club officer, who is run
ning for rising senior class presiden
cy on the University Party ticket, yes
terday released a five-point platform
designed to "stimulate Senior class
consciousness" throughout the entire
year.
His platform follows :
"1. In an effort to stimulate
"Senior Class Consciousness" during
the whole year rather than during
only the last two weeks of school,
"Saddle Shoe Stomps" should be held
by the class during the fall and win
ter quarters. These highly informal
dances would go far toward making
the class better acquainted with each
other,' and would accomplish that end
at times when no other senior class
activities usually occur. This pro
gram should be climaxed in the spring
with a Grand Saddle Shoe Stomper-
mo.
HONOR SYSTEM

Honor System and the Campus Code
are part of the heritage to every Se
nior class, and it is the duty of our

Government
And Railroads
To Be Discussed
Supporting the affirmative side of
the query, "Resolved that the rail
roads should be owned and operated
by the federal government," Univer
sity Debaters Phil Ellis "and Thad
Moser will engage a Williams college
team tonight at 8:30 in Gerrard hall.
Pointing out that the primary aim
of all Carolina debates was to provide
an interesting discussion for the audi
ence, Walter Kleeman, president of
the Debate council, yesterday urged
attendance by the student body. "Wil
liams college has always been noted
for its excellent debating squads. With
such a timely que'ry to discuss we are
hoping for a good debate.'
VITAJ, QUESTION
According to Ellis the railroad ques
tion is growing more vital every day.
Burton K. Wheeler, possible Demo
cratic nominee for President, and
Roosevelt supporter, is strongly in
favor of government control.
Both the Carolina debaters are ac
tive in campus forensic activities. El
