2 THE TAR HEEL STUDENT COUNCIL ORGANIZED PUBLIC INAUGURATION IN PRES ENCE OP STUDENT BODY Talks By Dr. Venable and Messrs. I. 0 Moser and W. A. Dees on the ' Work of the Council The University Student Council held its first meeting- Thursday night The organization of the council has been delayed on account of the illness of the president, Archie Dees. It was the object of this meeting to elect a senior representative. G. V. Thomp son was chosen in this capacity. The council now consists of the following men: Archie Dees, president of the se nior class and ot the council; G. W. Thompson, representative from the se nior class; A. B. Folger, president o the junior class; R. W. Scott, president of the sophomore class; C. B. Ruffin, representative from the law class; F. J. Hunnicut, president of the second year pharmacy class; and G. A. Wheeler, president of the second year medica class. The public inauguration . of the council took place in Gerrard Hal Tuesday morning in the presence o the entire academic student body. In opening the exercises Dr. Venable said that it was considered a fitting thing that the council, representing the stu dent body should assume its office be fore the assembled students. Our effort here, he said, is to form strong men, men who govern them selves and g-overn others. In the prog ress of self r government at ihis institu tion the need of such a council was felt. It is a means of giving concrete expression to the free and democratic life of the University. : However, the power which you delegate to the coun cil in no way relieves you of your own personal responsibility. You must work together if you are to succeed. Dr. Venable then introduced Mr. I. C. Moser to speak for the student body. Mr. Moser said: I have been asked to say a few words about the relation of the student body to the University council. What I shall say I trust will be an expression of the the thought of those for whom I speak. I hese men have been chosen for their character and broad-mindedness. The purpose of this council, created by the student body, is one with the pur pose of the student body. We owe a duty to this council. , They owe a duty to us. We are working together in a common cause, namely, the upbuilding of a greater University and the purify ing of our campus life. If this coun cil is to be effective the student body must uphold and support it in 1 its efforts to uproot those things that in jure us and prevent our growth. Mr. Archie Dees, the president of the council was next introduced. We, he said in substance, are your repre sentatives, elected by you, and we have a right to expect your coopera tion as you have a right to demand our loyalty. The faculty has delegated to the students, in a large measure, the re sponsibility of government. We are, as your council, a court of justice. We represent the student body in a judicial and an executive capacity. Through us,' as an instrument dfyour power, you hope to uplift the student life of the University, to punish offen ses against the best interest of the in stitution, t cultivate and keep the right campus spirit, With your aid this can be done, but without your co operation our hands are tied. We hope and believe that you are with us and that you will remain with us through the year. . ; Dr. Venable explained the dual na ture of the government here, The THE DANVILLE CONFERENCE ATHLETIC INTERESTS IN VIRGINIA AND CAROLINA DISCUSSED Dr. A.

To all those who saw the game there is no doubt of the fact that V. M. I. outplayed Carolina. The chance that gave them their touchdown would not come twice in one season, and the fact that there was no scoring done until one minute ana loriyimec aaunus before the game closed will bear wit ness that the game was a good one and one that was well played. The Tar Heels were certainly shaking in their boots and this shaking did not stop until the game closed. t " From the Charlotte Observer: New York, Oct. 7.
