Ask why and to enter town houses. Perhaps the amount of un- you'll be told that there are few close races this year, that the war has made former major cam pus problems minor ones, that campus politics are a waste of time. All of these statements are perhaps true, but favorable reaction on the part of the coeds who are traditionally asleep in matters of, their self government surprised the honor council and caused this reversal in policy. Aside from the fact that the measure was we can't help but think that colleges and edu- completely unconstitutional, the honor ' council cation will face a severe test during the next members who advocated passage of this rule 1 twelve months. What they do will depend on wrere violating the spirit of self-government. Last what their student leaders do. Certainly this is year a'new woman's constitution was adopted in masic maker... By Brad McCuen Lloyd Nelson relates the story a bout how Benny. Goodman, the. king of swing, made his first classical re cordings. It was back in the winter of 1937 when the age of the jitter bug was just starting and Benny's band was holding out at the Mad hattan Room in Big City. A friend of Goodman's liked seri ous music as well as he liked swing and was Well acquainted with the members of the Budapest String Quartet. The friend also knew that Benny was as good a classical music ian as he was swing; so he invited the boys to get together one Sunday afternoon at his apartment. They met and the conversation ran to Mozart, which Benny could discuss as easily as the quartet members. He confessed that he would like to play the ( clarinet part to Mozart's "Quintet for Clarinet and Strings." The Budapest boys invited Benny down to their rehearsal hall the next day to audition the part for the ver sion soon to be recorded. Benny played for them and they told him that his tone and range were almost perfect so they would be glad to have him record with them. As he was leaving one of the string musicians politely asked, "By the way, Mr. Goodman, just what do you do for a living?" true on this campus. It ii also granted that there will not be as many close races. The editor of the Daily Tar Heel and the editor of the Yackety Yack will go in without a struggle. Other major posts will be decided the same way. But the most important job of all that as president of the student body will be strongly contested. Discussion of the duties of the citizen in de- order to get away from one small body drawing up rules in their secret meetings and then spring - ing these rules on the coeds without either their consent or knowledge. A legislative . body, the Senate, was adopted to fill the need for open meetings and representative government on co ed problems. After the Senate considers the measure later in the week, the honor council will still have pow er to interpret the constitutionality of it. We mocracy have been repeated so frequently that hope the honor council will consider the spirit of the reader is not only bored when he reads them, self government and the desires of the coeds but the fact remains that if a democracy is to themselves, endure in a healthy condition, its citizens must O discharge their obligations by perpetuating it by election. This principle applies primarily to the selection of . executives and law-makers for the nation, state and city. It applies just as much to our campus elec tions whether they be the election of officers in a social club, a fraternal organization, . or a student office. Wherever a member of a de mocracy is a member of any organization that is run by elective officers, he should take it as his serious duty to participate intelligently in their election. The student elections have really brought a letdown. Truly they are not so important as the actions of some have made them in the past. The student is right who says the campaign pro cedure of former years seems a little silly now, but he is wrong in taking this as a reason for not participating in the present elections. The real reason for voting is just as -effective now as it was formerly in peacetime. It is the discharge of an obligation implied by the politi cal system under which we live. A student may say with truth that the campus election is of The regulation was " definitely unconstitution al. The powers of the honor council are five: 'To promote the honor system and campus code; to punish offenders of these codes; to draw up and enforce the interfraternity agreement; to interpret the constitution; and to act as an ap peal court from the house council." The Senate, on the other hand, was given among its powers, "the power of voting on social rules recommend ed by the Interdormitory council," and "the pow er to pass and act on any measures necessary for coed welfare, subject to recall of the coed student body." Consequently the regulation as passed could not be construed to be in the power of the honor council. Since the leaders in the honor council are presumably well acquainted with the constitution, or should be, they were guilty of violating the spirit of student self-government in advocating passage of the measure. The rule asit was worded was ill-advised -at best and insulting at worst. It was insulting to the coeds and men students as well as to the townspeople who have generously opened their homes to help ease the housing shortage. The Tschaikowsky died in 1893 but his themes are living on, being used as material for pashy pop tunes. The number of songs based on Tsc's music is amazing. "Moon Love" from the andante con tabole of his Fifth Symphony was popular four summers ago and start ed the trend. Next came a theme from the Romeo and Juliet overture known as "Our Love." One of Tsc's lesser works became a smash hit titled "These Things You Left Me." "On The Isle of May" is actually the andante conmobile from the "Suite for Strings." 1 Then last summer Freddy Martin discovered a goldmine when he re corded "Tonight We Love'' better rec ognized by serious music fans as "Piano Concerto in B Flat Minor." Today we are listening to two more themes by the famous Russian com poser, first "Story of a Starry Night" as lifted from the "Pathetique Suite," and second "Your Eyes Are Filled . With Music" which if you look twice little importance in comparison to the war, but rule as stated chose to regard the coeds as either that is beside the point. He should do the job .w uo not Know ineir own gooa at hand as best he can.

Thus, more than ever, the Carolina audience was convinced that it is the German "Hyde" we're really after. At eight o'clock, the Nazi issue of the Daily Tar Heel looked much too real. The early morning light often plays peculiar tricks on us, but was that the same stunt as the Win nipeg paper used to awaken Cana dians to the possibility of our losing this war? April Fool has definitely been converted to the all-out effort. We have found a factor which should bring the IRC and the CPU even closer together in their recent cooperation, Mr. Booker the etern al vigilante. O We have heard that Roger Mann's folks have come one thousand miles to hear tonight's speech by Czech minister, Jan Masaryk. We have taken it for granted that speakers will come a thousand miles, but have never had to ruminate on the pos sibilities of the audience traveling a similar distance. Perhaps, we cannot take this as an average case Roger is here too. We know of a certain unfortunate senior who is now taking Chemistry 5 for the third or is it the fourth consecutive spring.
