There is a condition which obtains

can get this registered letter and this

OUR BALLOTING SYSTEM
Last spring during the various elections that were held on the campus
it became startlingly apparent that not only was there room for fraud in
the system of balloting but that advantage was being taken of such loop
holes. In at least two instances clear cases of ballot box stuffing were
established. Students who had been away from college for months voted
in the elections, co-eds who had never taken advantage of their suffrage
voted, fictitious persons cast carefully marked ballots.
All this dirty work was carried on without the conviction of a single
person though one man was called before the council and exonorated. The
matter has been brought to such a careful degree of science that it is prac
tically undetectable and unquestionably many of the votes that were count
ed in the elections of last spring were fraudulent.
Under the system now in use, too, certain venemous souls religiously
went over the ballots after they had been counted to see who had and who
had not voted for them. Such a system encouraged and abetted bitterness.
One of the most pressing needs of the government of the campus is
a new method of voting in the various elections, that time and again through
out the years tear our campus into numerous political camps.
By virtue of a new ruling passed by the Athletic Association last
spring, the manager, assistant managers, and sub-assistant managers of
football will be elected immediately after the football season. The new
rule is a good one but a greater need is a better plan of electing them.
Since plans must somewhere originate we would like to offer one for
the consideration of the student body.
The ballot boxes should not be promiscuously placed about the campus
with the ballots held down and guarded only by paper weights, but should
be under the supervision of authorized poll holders.
The ballots should not be signed but all voters should be required at
the time of voting to register under the supervision of the poll holder.
We believe that if this system were adopted not only would ballot
box-stuffing be entirely done away with but also the shoulders of aspiring
politicians would be relieved of the burden of carrying heavy loads of
vindictiveness against the men who did not vote for them.

MISS LOUISE BUICE TO
BE MARRIED OCTOBER 26
Prof. P. H. Daggett, head of the
electrical department, attended
meeting of the Council of State
Boards of Engineering Examiners in
St. Louis last week, as a represen
tative of the North Carolina State
Board of Engineering Examiners. He
left yesterday, attending a meeting
of the Board in Raleigh, to make his
report of the meeting.
ANOTHER CHAPEL SUGGESTION
Apropos of our challenge to the Chapel committee we would like to
make one more suggestion. '
Singing is a thing that will give life to anything from a Baptist revival
to a beer party. There" is nothing under the high heavens that has a more
depressing effect than bad, uncertain singing.
In all the phases of the Chapel programme there is nothing quite as
weak as the music of the men's voices. This is a defect that could easily
be remedied by the song leaders and others in charge of the service.
, We would like to suggest what seems to us to be a feasible plan for
the improvement of this part of the service. We are not acquainted with
the plan and method of distributing Chapel seats but it would be a good
idea, we believe, to place near the front and at other points of vantage men
who are connected with the Glee Club who by singing well would draw into
the rythm of the song men whose mouths have remained closed or else
open with adenoids during the singing period of the Chapel service.
Prof. E. W. Knight attended the
teachers meetings in New Bern and
Vanceboro last week and made ad
dresses before each body.
