Wise Move
The Student legislature Wednesday night voiced definite
approval of the plan to table the entire Carolina Magazine
question until the beginning of the winter quarter a move
basically sound for a variety of reasons:
The Yackety-Yack is at present, carrying on its operations
with an indefinite future., It is entirely possible, by its own
admission, that the Charlotte Engraving Company, the firm
contracted to handle the annual's engravings, will be unable to
obtain enough copper and zinc to complete even a small part of
the Yackety-Yack's requirements. Whether it will be able to or
not is a question mark right now; we can't tell. ,
The Status of the University is most uncertain. How the
18-19 draft bill will affect the enrollment is unknown. Whether
the government will undertake certain proposals toward the
conversion of all universities to strictly war training centers is
something to be considered. How we will stand, as a university
in another two months nobody can tell now.
For these two reasons, the legislature has done the wise
thing. If the Yackety-Yack finds that it will be unable to pro
ceed with planned engraving, some of its budget can be turned
over to relieye the Tar Heel deficit. There are too many un
knows, too many variables. By the beginning of the winter quar
ter we shall be able to answer most of them, and thereby be
better able to see how and where the mag will fit into the
scheme of things.
Manwhile the mag can proceed as planned. The November
issue is already on the presses. The December issue, an impor
tant one dealing with a year of war at Carolina, is to be cut by
six pages and is to have a considerably reduced engraving
budget so that it will not draw unduely on the resources of a
crippled Publications' Union budget.
The mag has a purpose to serve. The second oldest student
agency on the campus and the oldest college magazine in the
United States, the Carolina Magazine has been traditional on
the campus and belongs as much to our alumni as to us. Today
it has reached its highest achievement, combining the best of
campus creative writing with the best of student entertainment.
It should be maintained as long as the University lasts, as long
as there is a student here to read it.
Blot
Voting yesterday at the freshman polls was a blot on the
freshman class, on student government.
, Common sense and integrity should have kept even the most
politics-crazy freshmen from mass marking of ballots.
And freshman elections are not so insignificant that the Stu
dent Council cannot spare the time to supervise the one polling
place.
It amounted to gross negligence on the part of the fresh
men for violating the voting privilege, on the part of the
Council for not supervising adequately the polls.
Fight Just Begun
When the people of the State voted almost 2 to 1 to pass the
education amendment day before yesterday, they had only be
gun to fight for an efficient and liberal public school system.
There can be many a slip 'twixt amendment and amend-ment-to-amendment
to which the Governor has pledged his
administration.
The purely political and plainly dangerous provisions in the
current amendment that the majority of the new Board be
men of finance, that 12 of the 15 be appointed on the basis of
Congressional districts, that one governor can appoint a ma
jority of the board during his term all are admittedly bad.
In the January session of the state assembly, Broughton will
attempt to have these provisions supplanted with specific pro
visions for a liberal and representative board, for new educa
tional districts, for equitable staggering plan already worked
out.
The Governor's commitment PLUS public pressure can effect
the drawing up of the amendment-to-amendment. Then, for
two years, responsible citizens and leading educators must fight
hard and steadily to keep alive the move for correction of. the
glaring faults in the amendment just passed.
If they do not sustain the drive and have the corrective
amendment passed, North Carolina's public education system
may be strangled by wartime indifference to education.

Voting Rights
Politics at the University hit a
new all-time low yesterday as the
freshmen paraded dutifully ( ?) to
the polls and selected (?) their of
ficers for the coming year. One
would never have thought the fresh
men capable of writing the' way the
budding polticians snatched ballots,
marked candidates, and kindly point
ed out those to be voted for.
Having' seen pressure politics
used in previous Carolina elections,
I expected the usual lobbying. But
when I saw ballots being snatched
away, marked and returned to the
voters, it seemed too much. I saw
three pencils marking one ballot at
the same time.
Thoroughly disgusted I sat down
and spent over an hour watching the
most prized right of any people be
ing utterly disregarded and utterly
corrupted. One "pressure politi
cian" upon being interrupted in
pointing out candidates for a voter
to mark and told that he couldn't do
that replied, "We've been doing it
all day. Why not?"
One voter no sooner had received 1
his ballot when it was snatched away
and returned completely marked up
on which he turned it in not know
ing who had been marked. In fact,
while the ballot was being marked
he was cheerily guzzling a soda at
the fountain. I observed one "vote
getter" personally mark one candi
date's name on no less than 9 bal
lots in a period of twenty minutes !
If this is the -freshmen's idea of
politics, it must undergo an immedi
ate radical change. Carolina
doesn't want such flagrant viola
tions and violators as these "pres
sure boys," nor does it desire anyone
too weak to stand for his own rights
or one low enough to sell, or heed
lessly give away his cherished right
of voting.
Where was the Honor Council
during all this mayhem balloting?
It seems to me that some steps
should have been taken to insure a
less flagrant violation of all voting
ethics. No matter what they'd
planned, which was nothing as far
as I was able to discover, it didn't
work as I personally saw.
Freshmen, you naturally are en
titled to some violations to the cam
pus code because, of your being new
to our way of life at the Hill. How
ever, what happened today is an un
excusable blot on your class rec ord,
one that will take months to erase.
I hope that this will waken you to
a sense of responsibility and right.
Many of you are innocent of today's
violations. But that does not ex
cuse those who so flagrantly broke
every voting sense of honesty and
fair play. We're all sure that this
is the last time you'll allow anything
like this to happen. Many blots on
student government like this will en
danger our whole student govern
ment structure. .

Yeoman Campbell Still Works
On Campus for Fourth Estate
By Dick Adler
The 'hick from Hickory,' is a Yank! Orville 'Scoop' Campbell, born in
Chesterfield, Illinois, 23 years ago, lived his first few years " 'neath mid-
eagerly await the paper delivery in expectation of an
other cone. He grew accustomed to carrying the small bundle inside. The
newspaper became his primer. At the age of eight he started to contribute
to the family's welfare by selling newspapers. The day that the Lindbergh
baby was found he broke the "all-Hickory-selling-record" by going out on
the highway and stopping cars. In one afternoon he sold 280 copies.
His greatest thrill came when he read his first by-line while in the seventh
grade. He then became business manager of the high school paper and
covered sports for the. Hickory daily.
At 15 he started a club for underprivileged boys with Pinky James,
Duke's All-Southern end.
Campbell has had the reputation here on campus of being tenaciously
honest. He has admitted however, that once in his life he ran afoul of the
law. In his high school junior year he organized a gang to prowl the streets
at night and siphon gas from lonely vehicles. The loot was brought to a
hideaway in the nearby woods where it was poured into a 100-gallon barrel.
When the police discovered the receptacle, it contained 55 gallons. A news
paper story the next day covered the find and requested the owner to come
and get his gas. Strangely, no one ever showed up.
After a year and a half at Mars Hill College "Scoop" came to Carolina
in 1939. "My greatest ambition was to be a DTH reporter with, my name
in the masthead," he said in an interview. He worked 30 hours a week for
the News Bureau, "a full-fledged member of the NYA Fraternity." That
Christmas "I was scared stiff but I went to see the Tar Heel Managing
Editor and asked him if I couldn't do some reporting for him. He took me
on trial.?
From there it was night sports editor, news editor, feature writer, col
umnist, edit man. In the Spring of '41, All-American George .Glamack
(Campbell's best friend) became his campaign manager and in one of the
hottest elections in Carolina politics Campbell won by 13 votes. It was
titled by student big-wigs "the lesser of two evils election," his opponent
being Lou Harris, 'liberal' campus politician.
Most everybody who knows "Scoop" personally will believe his statement
that "I worked on the theory that if it took enemies to get results with the
paper, I'd make 'em . . . and as many as necessary. ..." That year, Camp
bell used his paper as a powerful "swaying student opinion" agency. Stress
on the importance of Student Government and the Honor System, the dance
cut, the combination magazine and the dormitory social rooms, are a few
theories put in practice by "Campbell's Preachin' Press."
Gaunt, wiry, long-nosed, "Scoop," also nicknamed 'Orful Orville," greatly
resembles his younger brother Charles, intramural boxing champion. This
year, the "Hick from Hickory" has faded into a khaki background and is
sometimes referred to as "Charlie Campbell's brother." Hardworking
Orville is now a yeoman in the Chapel Hill Naval Pre-flight school, work
ing in Public Relations and Associate Editor of the Corps periodical, "Cloud
buster." Campbell cuts a sympathetic caper in his new attire. Last week he was
seen tearing at full speed across the campus toward Graham Memorial.
When he plopped out of breath into a chair, people asked him why he was
training for the track team at this late date.
"Because I forgot my little white hat. I just remembered that they put
sailors in jail for not wearing hats nowadays."

Magazine Bill
To The Editor:
In an unsigned editorial in Satur
day's Daily Tar Heel several state
ments were made which left the in
ference that a conspiracy was on foot
between the Law School and the Yackety-Yack
to effect the abolition of
the Carolina Magazine
For the sake of the record I should
like to make it clear that to the best
of my knowledge there is not, nor
has there ever been any collusion, to
say nothing df a conspiracy, between
the two bodies on this question. I was
not approached by a, Yackety-Yack
man, nor by anyone representing the
staff of that publication before the
bill was introduced. As far as I know,
prior to the presentation of the bill,
the Yackety-Yack staff was not even
aware that the bill was to be intro
duced. .
Also, from statesments appearing
in the past several issues of the
Daily Tar Heel, it seems that there
is a concerted effort in some quarters
to cloud the issue and convey a false
impression as to the purpose of the
bill. Although, there has been much
discussion of the question in the pa
' per, neither the language of the bill
nor anything approaching a reason
able facsimile thereof has yet been
printed in connection with any of the
comments.
If the bill itself t were examined
closely, it would become immediately
apparent that the bill does not advo
cate abolition of the Carolina Maga
zine. It is merely proposed to suspend
pend publication of the Carolina
Magazine for one year and as long
thereafter as the Legislature so de
sires. This step was deemed neces
sary because, from the findings of
the Finance committee, the expected
decrease in revenues due to the di
minished enrollment resulting from
the war seemed inevitably to lead to
the curtailment of some publication.
For this reason the bill was intro
duced so that the $4500 which was
to be spent on the Carolina Maga
zine could be diverted to a more
worthy publication.
The bill leaves the future existence
of the Carolina Magazine entirely to
the discretion of the Legislature.
Since, by the bill, the Legislature
would be bound to continue the sus
pension of the magazine for only the
current academic year, and since the
Legislature is presumed to be repre
sentative of campus opinion, it would
seem that any fears on the part of
the proponents of the magazine that
this amounts to an abolition spring
from a lack of faith in their publica
tion and a suspicion that the popular
ity of the Magazine is not all that
they represent it to be.
