THE "BLUE LAW" ISSUE
It may be news to many that the
so-called "Blue Laws" recently passed
by the City Aldermen, the enforcement
of which has caused a considerable num
ber of University students to up in arms
and which in some strange fashion has
come to be an issue in the coming city
primary, supplant old and meaningless
laws that have been on the city statute
books for many years. The Mayor and
Board of Aldermen are attempting to
throw out many such antiquated ordin
ances and replace them with new and
live measures. -"!
The old law prohibited -on Sunday,
among other things, the playing of any
games, the selling of any goods, the
making of any loud noise, and the cre
ating of any other disturbance unseem
ly for the Sabbath day. The present or
dinance is said to represent an effort
to give a much more liberal interpreta
tion to the spirit rather than the letter
of the Christian Sabbath, and is con
siderably less limiting than the old
laws.
The Tar Heel commends the City Al
dermen in their proposal to do away
with the many meaningless and out-of-date
ordinances and to limit all ordin
ances to the lowest possible number.
This is necessary in order to have live
and comprehensive legislation to fit in
with the plan of a growing Chapel Hill.
We are inclined to believe, however,
that the Blue Laws should have been
eliminated altogether, with the possi
ble exception of the church hour, since
non-observance has been the actual
practice for many years here, and so
far as we can see has never been the
cause for any unbecoming circum
stances. But that is for the City Alder
men to decide, and if the laws are
never done away with and are always
strictly enforced there will be no great
hardship worked on University students.
What the "Blue Laws" have to do
with an evident agitation among the
students, who are contemplating on fig
uring in the coming city elections, we
are not quite certain. We would advise
all University students to consider the
"Blue Law" situation rather thorough
ly before letting it become an issue
which will determine their vote.
ELECTIONS HONEST AND
MILD
The election for president of the stu
dent body came off Wednesday with
little stir on the campus. The student
tydy, for the most part, seemed some
what disinterested in the whole affair
and the attitude of the majority was
the most indifferent that we have ob
served at any important election the
four years we have been here.
Incidentally the elections were un
usually clean and lacked many of the
shady political movements notorious in
past campus elections. The action of
the few politicians who were active in
openly cpnv?p?rg tvd brirs'ng in vote
The Phi Beta Kappa, national honor
ary scholastic society, will name the
new men selected at a public ceremony
in Memorial Hall next Tuesday night.
We understand that about fifteen men
will receive this deservedly high honor.
To earn the Phi Beta Kappa mem
bership at Carolina is a feat that well
deserves a big meeting in Memorial
Hall with a speaker of national fame
delivering the address. The scholastic
average that must be attained by can
didates is said to be higher at Caro
lina than at any other institution where
a chapter of the organization is located.
Hence, to be a Phi Beta Kappa at Caro
lina is a considerably greater honor
than to be a Phi Beta Kappa at many
other places, while of course to be a
Phi Beta Kappa at any institution is
to be one of the few chosen.
Felicitations to those who have
fought the good fight and have attained
the splendid scholastic grades neces
sary for them to be initiated into this
organization of such precedence.

rule. We are accustomed to think of
the majority as having unlimited power;
not so the framers of our constitution.
The constitution itself denies such rights.
"Nor is the constitution the work of
a majority, the result of the personal
desires of the framers; it embodies the
essential of a strong federal government.
Time has proven its virtue and strength.
With the exception of the crisis of the
Civil War it has stood unchallenged and
unshaken. Furthermore, it is not be
cause of the constitution that we should
reject the doctrine of the divine right
of the majority ; it is because that in
itself it is more contemptible than the
divine right of kings. The trouble is
that "the majority is often indifferent
about matters of great importance.
Neither is this condemning Jefferson's
idea that the best government was the
least government. It is our indifference
to basic principles that counts."
Mr. Franklin then gave some illustra
tions to bring out his point that majority
rule was not always best, mentioning
first the anti-loafing laws passed during
the world war as emergency measures.
"The time is not far back when such
proposals would have been considered
preposterous and ridiculous. Such a
thing is radically opposed to the principle
of limited majority rule, and of little
importance economically." I
The 18th Amendment was denounced!
by Mr. Franklin as "a constitutional
monstrosity." He did not say that he
was opposed to prohibition ; he seemed
to regard this as a minor point. "The
real injustice of the amendment is thut
it outstrips any law which has been or
can be passed, and goes beyond the limits
even of the 'divine' right of the majority.
The majority of the present here is at
tempting to control both the majority
and minority of all future generations,
for it is so framed as to prohibit further
legislation in the matter. Thus it is
directly in conflict with our principles
of government, even to the constitution
itself."

OUTFIELDERS COLLIDE
Winston-Salem high school waded in
to Wade Phillips in the first three inn
ings Monday and administered the sec
ond defeat to the Carolina freshmen
during the present season. Phillips
struck out ten men but his good work
was completely offsot by Winston's op
portune hitting and errors by Carolina.
The game started with a smashing
triple by Cofer to right field. Phillips
tightened up and struck out Long, but
Joyce reached second and Cofer tallied
when Prescott attempted to stop a
pitched ball with one lone finger and
was unsuccessful, the ball going to the
fence and the finger nail being partially
torn off. Sap then singled but was trap
pod between first and second while
Joyce was scoring. Vcach ended the
canto with three mighty whiffs of the
gentle April breezes. McCall opened
for Carolina with a single but Cobb fol
lowed by hitting into a double play and
Devin struck out.
In the second inning, with two out
and bases empty, Jones knocked the
first pill offered him, over Veach's head
and raced around for the freshmen's
first marker.
Two errors, two hits, a pass, and slow
fielding in the third tell the story of
how the Camellites tucked the game
safely away by chalking up three count
ers in rapid succession.
From then on Phillips was master of
the situation and kept the remaining
four hits well scattered. Finlator caus
ed a slight ripple on the calm waters
when he poled out a long drive into
left field but oil was quickly adminis
tered and he was put out trying to turn
his three-bagger into a home run.
The freshmen scored in the fourth
and again in the seventh by timely hit
ting. .
Cobb and Jones staged a head-on col
lision in the fifth while chasing Sapp's
high fly. The center fielder had to be
helped off the field and was replaced by
"Happy Bed" Bowman. Prescott gave
way to Farrell in the third after his
finger had been injured for the second
time during the game.
The keystone sack was held down by
McCall in place of Ross who was hurt
in the New Bern game and showed up
exceedingly well. It was his spectacu
lar stop of Finlator 's terrific drive in
the ninth and the converting of it into
a double play that brought the spec
tators to their feet.
The Winston boys were coached bv
Joynsr, star moundsman for Carolina
in bygone days.

A bulletin recently published by the
University Extension Division which
has proved very popular with the high
school teachers of, the state is "The
Commencement Program," by Profes
sor Harold D. Meyer of the School of
Public Welfare. Many requests have
been sent in for the bulletin since its
appearance. The bulletin contains many
suggestions to teachers who wish to lift
their commencement out of the rut and
make it vitally interesting to the .pub
lic. Aids in the matter of decoration,
publicity, music, plays, pageants, games,
drills, folk dances, exhibits mid novelty
ideas are given.
During the past week Judgo Whit
aker issued warrants for 49 offenders
of the speed laws. All of the speeders
were caught by Deputy Sheriff W, W.
Woods on the Chapel-Hill-Durham bou
levard making 40 or more miles per
hour. Most of the unfortunate ones
were from Chapel Hill and Durham;
however, others came from anywhere
between Wilmington and Hickory
Mountain. Not desiring to show any
partiality, Judge Whitaker fined each
$5.00 and the costs of court, which
amounted to about $8.50.
Deuty Sheriff Woods stated in an in
terview that he intended to stop the
reckless driving which has been con
tinually practiced since the opening of
the boulevard. He has made a good
start by nabbing 49 in one week. "All
who persist in driving cars with only
one headlight will find themselves talk
ing to the judge," said the speed cop.
Those for whom warrants have been
issued are Benny Schwartz, Walter
Clark, M. O. Hutto, Harry Strowd,
