Laws of enlightened society have their origin in a purpose. That purpose is the dispensation of justice. There can not be honor and law operating in the same society at the same time. If honor holds sway, there is no need for the law. If the law is in force. it is because honor does not prevail. Law and honor are not tenants of the same domicile. He laments, that eight men on the student council do not agree as to what constitutes a " violation of the system. If eight of the leading men of the student body. cannot' "agree on a definition of fight, can we expect that-tiie whole fourteen hundred would be able to aree? These men may disagree as to the degree of the offence, but they will have a pretty common idea of what constitutes an undesirable student. They may dis cuss thoroughly and" decide differ ences which, may arise, but for the student body to endeavor to thresh out the same differences would be cumbersome, to say the least. . The article suggests a plan which would submit the views of certain executive organization to the stu dents, from which the students would be supposed to make a choice. We would be withdrawing our govern ment from the hands of an organiza tion which is chosen by and repre sents the student body; and reserv ing to ourselves, not our government, but a choice between certain rules of conduct as mapped out by organiza tions which may be representative, or may be exclusive. The entire council may not agree as to how far their authority extends over a man when he is not on the college grounds, but they all agree that a man whose character is debaunched here or else where is not a fit citizen of this cam pus. If they do not. the fault is with the individuals that we have chosen, or with us, and not with the system. In any case, interpretations writ ten down would take the form of a code, and this would smother the very life out of the honor system. How can you have an honor system if you make it a system of law and not of honor? An honor system can have but one rule, and that rule is "Be a gentleman." We do not have an honor system in the fullest sense, or we would not have need for a coun cil. A man who has corvo . ......

New) ' ' ' The real interest that a number of students have recently evidenced in the interpretation and the function ing of our system of government here at the University will doubt less be fraught with certain good effects on the student body as a whole. Discussion of a question, especially through a local news medium, always tends to cause the individual members of a body to think and form opinions about that question. Thus a livelier interest and better understanding are the re sults. A system that is understood and supported by those interested always is successful in its purpose. Our system of student government at Carolina is beyond a doubt far superior to that of any other sim ilar institution, if the reports about the others are' true. Notwithstand ing this there are certainly some faults in this system. These faults, however are not so complex ,ag not to be understood by each student, nor so grave that they cannot be remedied by a concerted action of the students themselves. We should set our minds revolving about the good and bad qualities of this sys tem, and having obtained a clear understanding of both, seek to strengthen the . former and efface the latter. This will be better done from within, rather than demolish our existing system entirely and at tempt to construct another which University which is more powerful than solely the love for one's Alma Mater? The Freshman Class should have the meaning and purpose of our system presented to it each year and presented in such a manner that they will understand and support it from the beginning of their Univer sity career. The greatest fault, that of not being understood by a great many students, would thus be done away with almost wholly. undoubtedly questions of especial interest and importance to the stu dent body should be settled Hirert.v by it. Others can be efficiently de termined by the representatives of the students in the iroverninir organ izations. A fault of the present. vr. tern in seeming unrepresentativeness in action on great vital ouestionn could thus be done away with in a manner that will strengthen our government. . Criticism of a body or a system shows interest in that body or sys tem, and is generally resultant in good effects. As formerly said the best result of criticism is bringing about individual thinking. With this thought it seems that a ntnHer, not see other than that our system iunaamenta'ly right and powerful. The faults can be remedied hv ko concerted interest and effort of the entire student body. THE HONOR SYSTEM Dr. Edwin Greenlaw returned last week from the University where he gave English seminars from Monday through Thursday before two groups of English students at the university. The subject o 'hia, seminar before the first group of students was "Ideas of Personality : of Hawthorne and Emerson." Before the second group "of "students his seminar was on "Marolwe, Shakespeare and Spen cer." These seminars were given on the Southern Exchange Lectufe Foundation,-which provides that sem--inars be 'held each year by distin guished scholars of other institutions members of the foundation, in the different universities belonging to the foundation. The members of the foundation are Vanderbilt, Carolina, Virginia and South Carolina Uni versities. On Friday Dr. Greenlaw stooped at Lexington, Va., and delivered the Convocation address at Washington and Lee university, choosing as his subject, "Choice of Studies." !ittwm!tmmtwtwnt';t;;ltlnmt Weidemeyer's Saxophone Orchestra Huntington, W.

Out of this number a team was chosen which went to Hickory where Lenoir Col lege was played and to Charlotte where it met the ,Y. W. C. A. team; One game was played on the home court at Chapel Hill. An interest in tennis has been shown and a tourna ment planned for this spring. Women students have contributed also to the literary life of Carolina. Articles 'written by several of them have appeared in the various college publications. Three of the original plays produced by the Playmakers were written by young women. Although living in widely divided portions of the town the co-eds man age to meet for business and social purposes. The woman's association is an organization which has been the greatest power toward unifying and effecting co-operation in work ing out the problems and features of college life of interest to the women students. Programs are arrancprl at times as well as occasional feeds. The women students are whole hearted in their support of activities in which they have no specific part, athletics, debating and oratorical pro grams, class and student affairs. They are members of the student body and as such are ready to lend all their effort and enthusiasm in the best way they can.

C. E. Cowan gave an interesting discussion of community life and organization in North Carolina. He first discussal the rarity of community life and nr. ganization m the State, attributing it to the fact that North Carolina i. mainly an agricultural State with the social conditions that ... i . . . . r -J sucn a state, and to the lack of Aa velopment of a sense of civic and social responsibility. Two of th main conditions that now retard the development of community life the sparsity of population and the nature of farming as an occupation.
