Friday we mark two red letters on tne stuaent Doay ann more especi- ed rtur ralpndr Onft is for the first ally to the attention of the mem- baseball game this season with our bers of the Athletic Association, nlrl rival nf thfi Dominion State: I that we believe to be bad. that anA t.hA nt.hr is for the first ffreat is the method of the election of inter- scholastic track meet held in the state and held under the aus pices of the students of the Univer sity. The annual recurrence of the Vir ginia game at Greensboro is always looked forward to by the people o two states and bv the stcdents o two great educational institutions In many ways it datermines the sue cess or failure of the season so far as we are concerned, for most of the Tar Heels had rather lick Virginia than to eat; as well as they like t perform that plesant and satisfying function. To view the game, besides the mere male portion of the state . that always attends, there is always a large section of bleachers filled with the old timed, ante bellnm galaxy of Southern beauty about which we have heard so mnch, (It is sincerely hoped that the reader, especially the young one, will take a. the above dubious sounding sentence f J:n the way it was intended, viz. us J a compliment. The editor did tint realize that it had a possible double meaning for the malicious until after he had written it. ) But the other red letter stands for something even more vital to us ( if such a thing is conceivable ) than a Virginia game. The inter- scolastic track meet which will be held here is another advance made along the same general line fs the Debating Union which came to such a successful conclusion here recently with the representatives of nineteen schools debating here for the Aycock Memorial Cup. The debates brought here the young debaters under the auspicies of two of the oldest liter ary societies in the United States and under the auspicies of two, also, that have as enviable a record as any in the nation. Now we are to have a track meet the one branch of ath letics in which we conspicuously ex cell of the high schools and prep . schools oFth'e state held hereon the Hill. This meet is of vital impor tance and significance to us because it'bringa to us so many of the good men in the schools - the fellows who are doing something - and helps them and ua to get together with many possibilities for benefit to both . We are glad to have them here as guests, and hope soon to see them fall fledged citizens of thecommun-; lty the editor-in-chief of the paper. The present provisions for his el ection are that the Athletic Council shall nominate at leapt two men There will be preliminary train ing in football, baseball, ttack, ten nis, and gymnasium; lectures on football, baseball and tennis matches j and special work in other branches i for those who desire it. The use of the University equip ment and fields insures the best 1 1 i - mi t - I lor ims position, inese two men working conditions. There will be must have served at least one -year no charge for the regular athletic on the lar Heel previous! v. x1 rom these nominees presented to the Association by the Council the Asso ciation elects the editor-in cruel, we believe that this sys tem should be changed for four principal reasons First, One year's prior service on The Tar Heel is not at all necces sary to fill the position of editor ln-cniei. we Know this irom our experience on me paper, mis requirement as a prerequisite to l l 1 t oemg euitor-m-eniei is merely a i i it i useless restriction that may prove pernicious by keeping a better man out of the job - and a man whom the student body prefer. Second, It enables the Council t' pnu'tially elect from the board f editors the one whom it prefers for odittii'-in-eliief of, the paper; By so doing it becomes in part a selt- perpHuating body since the editor-in-chief is a member ex officio of tbe Council. The Council is not required to nominate more than two men for the position so bv nowing the status of, the vfirious men in college the Council can nominate two men for the:. 'position with the certainty that the Associa tion will elect a certain desired one of those two. It can goncrn the final selections by governing the possible selections. Third, The position of editior- in-chief of the college paper is a too important one to allow it to be subiect to possible private nianinul- ations. We believe that in the great majority of cases tbe men el ected to the council' will i act with absolute in tegiiiy and sincerity. But there are bad posibilities in the system. And anyhow, the pos tion is important enough that the Association should elect the men open and directly. Fourth, The present system may cause the election of a not so efficient man. Under this system tbe editor-in- chief is virtually elected at the end of his Sophomce year; for the elections of those associate editors are made then irom whom usually either two or three wcrk.
