No. 54 OPEN POLITICS AGAIN We are all agreed oh this much.'it'seems: that there should be an in terval between the time of making nominations and that of balloting. The Tar Heel is in favor of the candidates openly campaigning for themselves, and believe that we will ultimately come to this practice. We have never advocated, however, the man desiring tb run placing himself in nomination. This is an absurdity that some men have charged us with in order to discount the entire proposition. But we are perfectly willing to see the step made this spring of plac ing a week's interval between the time of making nominations and ballot ing. The records of the men nominated to be published in this interval. This is the first step, it seems to us, in realizing our ideal of letting the man ultimately campaign for himself. And if a thing is worth' while, it will na turally grow slowly. And for this spring we hope the method cn which we are all practically agreed shall be used just an interval with the publica tion of the records of the men' in the several races. We should also like to urge this feature : That the meetings for nominations be arranged so that plenty of time can be had, and to allow those making nominations adequate time in which to do so. It seems to us this is an important feature that should he incorporated this year. We are glad to see this question subjected to the attention of the stu dents, and are confident that we are on" the road to a thorough cleaning of conditions hat demand attention. STUDENT FORUM AN HONORABLE HONOR SYSTErl MRS. HENRY WEIL VISITS CHAPEL HILL By R. L. Gray, Jr. "Honor" is the noblest word in the English language. It is the life giving essence of all noble qualities such as "patriotism," friendship," and "love." Without honor these become Mrs. Henry Weil, of Goldsborp, was in Chapel Hill for several days this week as the guest of Miss Mild red Moses. This was Mrs. Weil's first trip to Chapel Hill in thirty years, thus she was very interested 1 n the changes that have taken place jingoism, "aeceit," ana sensu- w the town ana on the campus. n;s irs. Weil is the wife of Mr. Henry urdaf Goldsboro, one of the found the mohe Weil Lectures here at the High Sty. Incidentally the Weil the histowere delivered here Tues teams reinesday and Thursday of of Chapei, and Mrs. Weil has been Greensboro,! attendant of them.

' . " This campus has student government student government in a vital sense. fin is equalled on no other college campus in this country so fair as we pave peen able to learn. It certainly has no equal among the forty four colleges of the east, that had representatives at the conference'at Mass achusetts Technology during the past week. Other colleges have constitu tional governments which they call student government, hut they do not have in any sense student government in the vital sort of way that we have it here. And it is a failure, we believe, of our own men to realize the depth and fullness of our system that will allow them to make the statement that we have outgrown our system of government. And yet, those argue in this wise, propose to meet this overgrowth, , not by something new, and bigger;' but they propose to retrograde for a quarter of a century. We passed through the written constitution stage a quarter of a century ago. That was the time when the societies controlled student affairs. It is at that stage that the other institutions of the country stand today when they .talk of student government. We have the only sys tem that is absolutely inexhaustible. We can never outgrow it. It is as vital, as full, and as rich as our life and to outgrow it is to outgrow life. Again we would urge some straight thinking. We consider it extreme ly fortunate for our health hat men are interested in this question, but they should get their bearings. TflH HEEL EDITORS TO D. L. Grant to Attend Richmond Con ference. Jonathan Daniels to Speak at Davidson TOMMY J., THE THIRD, HEADED FOR GAY PAREE Carolina will be represented at two collegiate press association conven tions which are to meet April 22nd and 23rd. D. L. Grant will repre sent The Tar Heel at the Southern Intercollegiate Press Association meeting and Jonathan Daniels will go to Davidson to the North Caro lina Intercollegiate Press Association convention. " ' - - D. L. Grant has just returned from the National Intercollegiate Confer ence on Student Government, where he went as the representative of the University in the field of publications. At Davidson Jonathan Daniels has been asked to address the conven tion on "The Managing Editor's Job." Phillip Hettleman, business manager of 7he Tar Heel, has been selected to represent Carolina at the North Carolina Peace Oratorical Contest, but will probably join Daniels at Davidaon after the contest. He has been invited to talk to the conven tion on the question of financing col lege publications. Friends of Mr. Thomas J. Wilson III, who recently -sailed for France will be interested to know that his father, Dr. T. J. Wilson, Jr., has re cently received a cablegram inform ing him of his safe arrival 'in France. Mr. Wilson sailed something over a week ago from New York om the Aquitania. The trip over was made in about a week. He will remain in France for several months and while there will pursue studies in advanced French. Mr. Wilson is a member of the Class of 1921 and finished his re quired work for graduation from the University at the end of the recent Winter Quarter. He will return to Chapel Hill next Fall, and it is un derstood he will be connected with the Department of Romance Langu ages here at the University.

"- "' . ' ';';;;. Here we have four distinctly op posite views from ian almighty group of eight men. " Suppose a question arises involving one' of these issues (and they are' merely four small ex amples of a host of possible differ ences), one of two things is Sound to happen, either the student-council will take a course which will render it liable to charges of being wishy washy arid weak-kneed, " or it will make' a decision that will seem harsh and unfair. - 1 To see how we can save ourselves and the student-council from this sit uation a few. simple questions and an swers will come in handy. "Where does the ' student-council get the' right to function?" ! "From the students." "In whose interest doe's it func tion?" " ' ' ' '' ' . "The student's interest." . "Whom do its decisions affect?" "Nobody but students." 5 Since the student-on-the-canipu3 is so vitally concerned with the student-council, it is criminal that he is not allowed to shape the policy of that council himself.' Therefore the students should be allowed to settle at the spring elec tions every year, such questions as I haye brought out above. The lead ing executive organizations of the campus should meet just before elec tions and draw up a ballot on which such questions should be listed. These should be distributed among the stu dents at least a week before elec tions in order to give every oppor tunity for a wise decision by every student. i Every year that passes without some such system is a' year in which the students have cheated themselves out of their right to self-government. APOLOGIES TO PEPYS. And so out to ball-park e where Oak Ridge did catch it in ye knotty kneck from freshie lads. Forsooth twas a duello of no mean excellence and ye pichures did twirl one nastie pill. Did win many pies and milks from the learned Lipsus, him being young and unskilful in the matter of base-balle. . Now it was passing strange that Oak Ridge having ' overcame the mighty Davidson" should fall a victim to ye humble fresh, but so it ever is with card-sharks and other athletes. Also was Bob there with golluf socks the better to portray a noble calf and all ' ye co-eddes did giggle and blush. Oak Ridge decisively defeated' mington, thereby winning the state inter-scholastic doubles title and a silver cup to be awarded by the Uni versity. The winner of the singles title will also be awarded a silver cup, permanent possession of both cups going with them. The best match of the tournament was the doubles match between the teams of Raeford High School and Oak Ridge Institute, the match go ing to five sets with the outcome al ways in doubt until the end. Lap ley of Oak Ridge also had a hard match with the Wilmington star, the first set requiring a total of 24 games. In fact every match was hot ly contested throughout. Probably he best teams competing in the anNnament were those representing Berilon, Oak Ridge, and- Rae the possibuiw,, stitches were taa-was scheduled to wound.
