Everyone seems to remain baffled as to what shall be done regarding the sort of recognition for services the managers of varsity teams shall receive. We all know that the manager should be rewarded; most of us agree that he should not receive a monogram the same as that of the player: because it is a mis-nomer to label the manager something that he is not, and is unfair to the man who has really won a letter at hard work, and second it is unfair to the manager to award him in a wav that is nn awnrrl at all. At the present time few of the managers will ever wear a mono gram after.it has been awarded them, because they feel that the sentiment of the students is against it. If this method is falling down at both ends, why continue it? This is the question that baffled the Athletic Council Tuesday at its meeting, ana remains to De settled, lhere is some just and equitable man - f i 1 1 j i j i i iii a. . i ... ner ox nanuiing mis, ana ii snouia oe louna ana applied. it.'. ---.

As it is today, we have about half of the year during wnicn iime'tnere is no responsible- manager of football, for instance. When the schedule is over in the fall, the manager automatically retires. His successor is not now elected until the following spring. The shortcomings or this system are obvious, and it is to remedy these that the proposal is before the student body for its annroval. Likewise, we believe, there can be little opposition to the proposal of n : n. . - auowmg me manager oi a nrst year reserve team to compete in the election for the managership' of the varsity team of that same sport. Under the present arrangement, there is no outlet for the capable man, who may be manager oi me nrst year team in his junior year. He has, normally, done just as much work as has the assistant managers' nf tha vorcitu Both of the propositions are of the athletic association, and it is not right 10 penalize a man Dy sewing mm up in a position in his junior year that xorever aeDars nis wiance oi rising in that work. He is right along on a iiaruy wun tne assistant managers of the varsity, and should be given a chance to compete with them for the bigger job for the senior year. The student Dody, we believe, is ready to accept this amendment. And also, the student body is ready to accept some sort of change in the method of awarding monograms and stars. Just to name the present method is to condemn it. The men on the Athletic Council are usually good men, but they are in no way qualified to be the final authority about this matter. The only remaining difficulty is, then, the method that we uu wB ,,, BySlem changed. Many suggestions have been made, and of all of these, we feel quite confident, that the one proposed, is about the best we can get. In the first place, it provides that the men on the several squads who have won cheir letter shall have a voice in admitting others to this group. These men are doubly prepared to make these recommendations: first to guard the standard that a man must measure up to in order to win his letter and secondly, they know the men who have worked hardest, and are the most capable. But to this minute consideration of every man on the squad is added the separate recommendations of the captain and coach, anvwt r t0 8it With the Bard 0f Awarda in order Plain any matter that may arise. And in the second place, you have a board constituted that shall serve over the period f a year and which can apply the long range view to the awarding of let ers Th1S board is of a air size, represents in an intel ligent manner all the parties or interests concerned. We especially urge the members of the student body to consider and discuss these provisions beforehand in order that they may be prepared to vo e; and we believe that when you have done this you will be ready to vote for all of these proposed amendments. FEW STUDENTS DECIDE TO GO TO BLUE RIDGE The campaign of the Y. M. C. A. is still on to get twenty-five students to attend the Y. M. C. A. conference to be held at Blue Ridge June 14 to 24. So far there have been only seven men who have definitely de cided to attend the conference. These men are R. E. Brown, S. O. Bondu- rant, J. G. Barden, J. N. Coffey, F. A. Grissette, W. C. Wheeler and C. J. Williams. This conference will be one of great benefit to those who attend it as well as a ten-day trip of pleasure. Those who wish to know more about the conference can ob tain such information from Charles Phillips, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. CO-EDS ARE ACTIVE ON TENNIS COURTS For the past two weeks the fair Carolina co-eds have been seized by a very sudden tennis fever. In great numbers the Carolina students have seen them playing on the courts. Ten nis seems to be a popular fad with them. i Especially were they in great at tendance last Saturday afternoon, the courts being fairly flocked with them. There were at least ten out of the fifty playing. The sidelines were filled with many spectators who assisted the vounc ladies in fixing the "nets." Especilly were they needed when one of the nets fell down. Politicians and Politicians I believe in two great political parties in America. I believe in party government. Personally, 1 believe in the political organization of the great Democratic party. I be lieve in politics, I believe in "poli ticking," if that is wjiat you wish to call it, when a student takes one side of a question and tries to explain it to the students. I believe in poli ticians, professors, lawyers, doctors, and preachers. But in each of these particular vocations you will find men who are crooked, corrupt, and un scrupulous. Politics is a science and not a scheme. Men try to master the art of political science daily in the state and nation. Dr. Frank Crane says "Politics is a religion." Just as Mayo Brothers cut their way into the inmost interior of a human beine's abdomen with the consent, approval, and will of the patient, and through the science of medicine; so a politician goes in of fice by the consent, approval, and will of the people, and through the science of politics. This article is a result of the so- called soviet meeting held in Ger- rard Hall and the mass meeting held in Memorial hall with regard to the so-called senior class DroDosition which provided for a president of the student body with certain qual ifications. This article also is an out growth of the general opinion of po litical Jeaders expressed by students here on the campus. Approximately twenty Carolina students who participated in the dis cussions in these two meetings have been accused and indicted bv vari ous students as having taken part in politics, that they were "politick ing" and finally that they were poli ticians. None -of these men, I appre hend, would want any article in de fense of their action; but just for the sake of settling this question, let us admit the charge that they were politicians because of certain reasons to be submitted hereafter. : This article is written primarily to ' assist in the chrystalization of a new and different opinion of a politician' than that which now seems to exist ' in the minds of a majority of the' students on this campus. Those men who spoke pro and con on the ones. tion, and who are considered politi cians should not be subjected to ridi cule, scandal, sarcasm, satire, and calumny by their fellow-students. By virtue of a process of noble reasoning, let us see how those men became so-called politicians. Each of those men who spoke was fighting for a great moral principle, an, issue which he thought to be right and just. It seems to me that none of those fellows had any selfish motives in doing so. They were not aspiring to office nor for political honors at the hands of the student body. These twenty men were spokesmen for or against the issue involved, either ad ministrative or anti-administrative. In view of the fact that they were spokesmen, they were leaders of one group of men. Leaders implies poli tical leaders, because it was certainly not a church movement Inasmuch as they were political leaders, they were by virtue of that fact so-called politicians. If you tell one of these men that he is a politician, he takes it as an insulting challenge concern ing his honor, honesty, and future is dishonorable. These men are clean, upright, and straightforward. Our honor., system and student govern ment attest them to be such. If they were not men of high calibre they would not be here. This would be a plea of defense for these men if such were needed, but it is a plea to every student here to change his attitude, his opinion, his feeling, and mood toward a so-called politician. Let us unite in a common cause here to grow men as capable doctors, lawyers, professors and politicians. Let us join ourselves in an everlast ing bond and tie of true friendship and loyalty for each other. A Student. TAR HEEL SCRIBES ARE GIVEN FINE WORK OUT (Continued from page 1) f these things snd even more, an! he could prove" it. Nobody know what it was all abou' tii! the fol ioving Wednesday whin nomina- liims lame out for Man.igir.if Edi tor of the paper, and botn Bob Gray's and Jake Wade's names ap peared as nominees. After this political battle there ar rived fruit salad, pickles, and olives. Pee Hettleman delivered an appro priate euology and a bit of verse to the almighty Sheckel. "I like it," he said simply. Tommy Turner looked more like he had just ar rived from somebody's unguarded cellar as .he arose to make his speech named on the programe "Confes sions of a Reporter." He confessed nothing, but muttered in a myster ious way, "I own the National Bank." After chicken a la full house, and ice cream a la no cake were served I Bum Brunson brought the gathering i back to a little more serious tone I in a series of poems of Jove. Lucious Summey was too lazy to" get off the , floor to deliver his talk on Energy, But he was finally aroused to ac tion by Bob Thompson stepping in his face. ;Now I will have to wash," he groaned, "lnd tomorrow is not the first of the month." Then came punch and cake, and Dice Daniels seemed over-punched as he hopped upon the table and began to sing an old English ballad, at the I same time doing the Highland Fling ' among the water pitchers. He fell I into Willie Horner's lap and slid to the floor. At 'one end of the table there was irr progress a fight be tween the Bardens and C. L. Moore over an old family feud originated in the wilds" of Carrboro. At this juncture the party began to get rough, the lights were shot out by a mysteriously produced Colt auto matic and Dice Daniels dived head foremost through the window. Jake Wade and Bob Thompson followed in 'rapid succession. Bob Gray yelled outj something about "the last to drink was dangerous Dan McGrew" and then turned a flip into the lap of Phillip Hettleman, who groaned unhappily, "Good Bye Sheckles." That was the last of the party. All thanks for the merriness of the oc casion was due to none other than Phillip who was set back some big pile of coin. It was the climax of the year for those , dreamy eyed youths who scribble columns and col umns of stuff every week for Ye Tar Heel. They had a big honest to goodness work out.
