AUGUSTUS CAZEL Sports: HARRY HOLLINGSWORTH Campus Organization The campus is today pre sented a proposal for a thor ough organization of the stu dent body for the purpose of "organizing the University o. North Carolina student body for efficient and representa tive student government." As provided in the plan, which will be submitted to the ways and means commit tee and thence to the Student legislature, -the student body, numbering approximately 4,- " feet, every student in the Uni 000, would be divided into four versity. areas, equal in size. For each -area a chairman would be ap pointed by the president of the student body. At the groundwork of the -organization would be sections of 10 students, each with an elected chairman. Thus, there would be 400 chairmen. Each 10 of the 400 chairmen would elect one of the 40 group chairmen who would stand between the 400 ind the four at the top of the organization. The preamble of the bill is well stocked with generalities on the "situation in the world today' and the need for "de liberation and enlightened dis cussion of issues." The purpo'se of this Campus Organization Bill, superficially at least, is to provide a . means of sounding out student opinion t with a minimum waste of time. Such' an organization, if it func tions well and is accepted in the right spirit by the stu dents, can be a helpful adjunct to student government. With the campus constantly grow ing and student opinion show ing a corresponding broad dif ference on almost any matter that presents itself, it wtfuld be well to have the student body organized, as explained above, "for efficient and rep resentative student govern ment' On the other, hand, there is suggested in such a measure the danger of its becoming the basis of an organization simi lar to the Boy Scouts of Amer ica,, the Hitler Youth Move ment, or some other regiment ed, or partly-regimented corps. Of course as long as the ma chinery of the campus organ ization is democratically di- rected, as long as the chairmen are elected by their constitu ents, there is eery reason to believe that the campus organ ization would remain the democratic set-up that is now provided in the bill.

If the bill is enacted by the Student legis lature, there will arise an at- N tendant need for vigilance on the part of believers in real student democracy. Sufficient to say, the bill de serves the thorough consid eration of every student, for it contains measures that now affect, and will continue to af- Wise Abandonment Abandonment of the humor magazine at Chapel Hill, The Buccaneer, was achieved not by manifesto from on high, but by direct action of the stu dent body through their law ful and recognized legislative body. The administration had often been importuned to clap down the embargo itself. The . Buccaneer was offensive to the more delicate sensibilities of the people. Often it reeked with sheer salaciousness. But" President Graham and his associates in authority at the University kept showing their own faith that in time the students themselves would take this .action of their own volition and' thus justify the theory and practice of self government as it has been al lowed to operate at Chapel Hill. The decision to do away with this magazine, unless it could have been regenerated and purified, was wise and, coming as it did in the form of a self-expression of the cam pus, all the more refreshing.

One whole installment was devoted to Lee Wiggins, the boy i who was nationaj president of the American Student ".union. The following is a sequel of keen in terest. Editors, The News. I sat and talked with Lee Man-' , ning Wiggins for a long while one afternoon last May. At that time he was being pointed to with alarm as proof that the University of North Carolina was a hot bed of radicalism and that such as he were its fruits. He was Exhibit A, all right, be cause he was in fact the national president of the American Student : union, whose Americanism was, and is now, more apparently on the 1 Moscow order than home-grown. The traducers of the subverters had made out a strong case against i him, on paper. Here, they pointed - out, were, the - resolutions, the speeches the printed objectives of i the ASU, all impregnated with - radicalism, . and Lee Manning Wig gins was the chief of them all. So,, therefore, the University was in the clutches of the radicals and , its choice young men were being turned from the tried-and-true way of life i and made to be dupes for alien philosophies. A Lad of Integrity, For, All His Views 3 I couldn't see it. I couldn't even see it in Lee Wiggins, who had the record against him. I did find a lot of exploring minds among the students. They were curious. They wanted to know what were these ' dangerous thoughts which so mightily were . being inveighed against. Wiggins, I thought, was Curtis String Quartet (Continued from first page), engraver whose work-bench and tools are preserved in the Smithsonian In stitute. v The four have travelled more than 150,000 miles together during the past ten years, giving concerts in 300 American and European cities. Proteges of Mary Louise Curtis Bok, Saturday Evening Post heiress, they playv priceless old Cremona instru ments. The violins were both made by Stradivarius, the viola is one of only two made by Nicolo Amatis in the world, and the cello is a Domen ico Montagnana. The viola has been twice smuggled out of countries seething with revo lution. ' - Because rare instruments may "be come hoarse or suffer nervous break downs from overwork," they also car ry spares exact copies made by a Philadelphia violin maker, for use at rehearsals. So faithful are the rep licas that the artists themselves have difficulty distinguishing them from the originals except by the labels, .i The group made its first appearance together as a quartet of . the barber v wfth JEAN HARLOW BEN LYON JAMIS HALL Color Cartoon if IS NOW PLAYING Pick Theatre The Book of L XV$V?23L Thrilling p" V NSSpertcicIe VV' Jtartling r f--.r- Picture of , the Air A Novel on Pre-Revolutionary North Carolina:1-Raleigh's Eden by frglis Fletcher The Bull's Head Book Shop not much different, except in nity and polish, from the fre?hm who were fairly wild-eyed about the " New Thought. One difference Was that he definitely had espoused Caus'e and had progressed to hai. ership in it. Even so, it seemed to me thea that though he reached out Vitv one hand to explore the taboos he held a pretty firm grip with the other upon the anchors of his back ground. He was the son of a South Caro lina banker. He was of the South Carolina tradition. He was of the plantation country, which produces ! a strange mixture of practical con servatism and idealistic liberalism He was quite honest. Quite deter! mined. Quite academic in his re volt against reaction against' the oppressions of. crossroads dictators against what he considered the un-American-effort to stamp out academic freedom. He was for peace and against war. If that made hha a radical he had no apologies t& make. A Decision Has to Be Made Since that time it has come to be realized that democracy, the Ameri can principle of freedom, is in im minent danger. And events worked around so that Wiggins had to choose between the course of the ASU with its foreign allegiances, and his country for better or for worse. The ASU now, he has decided, ac commodates itself to those forces which would "destroy the last best hope of democracy and progressive social development." So, he is out. He has resigned. H throws his sup port to the more normal Roosevelt Wallace College club. His action seems to cast some light on the continuing argument about the University's influence on students, as well as on his own character. shop variety in a school show while undergraduates at. the Curtis Insti tute, and still relax between sessions of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms by indulging in four part harmony in the "sad songs of the old days," with Brodsky, otherwise first iolim'st, strumming the guitar.

An American ensemble, they shat tered traditions in Europe's hallowed halls on their last tour of the conti nent and returned to report tremend ous enthusiasm among European music iovers for the American com positions they played. There is not a single Stradivarius in Italy, they said, and the third most amazing thing to them was the calm way that a British broadcasting en gineer will shut off the power between movements and suggest that perform ers take time out for a cigarette.
