These men will not enter npon their duties as unknown and untried quantities, for they havs been working consistently ever since the call for candidates, was issued last fall, and by virtue of their several months ex perience they have a clear conception of the quality of work demanded of them. This "heeler" system which is employed In all the large universities has been an Innovation ' this year at Carolina, and undoubtedly it will bear fruit in the. form of clearer ' and more readable news. Therefore at this early stage of the game the new editors hesitate to make any definite promises until the period of organization is well in hand. We feel keenly the honor and responsibility that the student body has given us, and if hard work, careful planning and co operation on the part of the whole staff will produce a better paper, we can safely predict that this will come about.

VoL XXXL May 11, 1923 No. 54 THE OLD ORDER PASSETH In the. editorial columns of the last issue of the Tar Heel was the word "thirty" banked on all sides by white space, ana to many tnis seemed a strange way for J. J. Wade, the retiring Editor of the Tar Heel, to bring his editorial policy to a close, but to those who have an acquaintance with news paper customs the word had a signifi cance. It meant the passing of the old regime, the retirement of the men who have worked and planned together for the past two or three years in the most grinding, yet most interesting of all . student activities, the editing of a col lege newspaper. The translation of this last editorial of the old staff in simple language was: "This is the last word we have written for the Tar Heel. We have tried to do our ntmost to publish ft presentable paper this year; we un doubtedly have made many mistakes and a host of enemies, but we have been sincere in our efforts to edit an improv ed Tar HeeL and in spite of numerous handicaps we believe we have met with some success. With the next issue the new board goes into office, and we re linquish the paper to them with some regret May they have the best of lock.' Good bye." There always has been a touch of sen timent in the passing of an old board, for it means the dissolving of the firm associations that have made the mutual work less tedious and more pleasant, and the sheet they are about to leave seems more to them than mere printed paper. It is rather an old comrade, troublesome and exacting at times, but nevertheless faithful rnd loveable. Al though there is some feeling of sorrow attached to the breaking up of an old Staff, in reality the worn out editors are (Infinitely relieved to pass over their du- THE PUBLICATIONS UNION By the time this issue of the Tar Heel is circulated, the Publications Union plan will have been presented to the student body in chapel with the view of clearing up some of the details in volved which have caused more or less confusion. With the announcement of the plan through the columns of the Tar Heel and its presentation in the literary societies and chapel, every stu dent should be well enough informed to cast an intelligent vote when the issue comes up for the final settlement. Undoubtedly there are several defects in the constitution which will come to lessly and unceremoniously unshrouded its possibilities and presented George Ragsdale as '24 Editor-in-Chief of the Magazine." I do not know what the associate editor meant by alluding to the election of the future editor-in-chief of the Magazine; from all indications he must be dissatisfied in the person who is going to edit the. publication; and the only method to quench his in dignation was an attack upon the Phil anthropic Assembly. But let 'a see was the Phi uncere monious in its conduct f If the ambi tious editor read over the constitution of his Assembly he will find the fol lowing in Article 12, Section 2: "This Magazine (Carolina) shall be published by a Magazine board, consisting of an editor-in-chief, etc. ... On alter nate years the Dialectic Society shaft elect an editor-in-chief, etc. ..." Mr. George W. McCoy, a member of the Dialectic Assembly, was elected editor of the Magazine last year, and accord ing to the constitutions of both assem blies (or according to the agreement of the two assemblies) the Philanthropic Assembly CONSTITUTIONALLY elect ed Mr. Ragsdale this year. Why, then, does the associate editor criticize the Phi as an unceremonious organization? What right, within the laws of common decency, has he to make sueh a state ment f Was the Phi ruthless? Tes, very much so. The members of the Assembly (not all) carried a ruthless war against that political ring, within the Phi, which attampted to postpone the election of the editor-in-chief until the student body would vote on the Publications Union. It thought that, if the elections could be delayed until NEW BOOKS RECEIVED BT U. N. C. LJBRARY light only after the plan has undergone a trial, but the principle of the Publica tions Union is sound, and when it is once put into effective working order the details can be adequately ironed out. An issue of such significance to the college publications should not be discarded because of some minor points in the constitution which do not seem altogether clear and reasonable. It has been drawn up by a selected group of men who are well acquainted with pub lications problems, and has been put in its final form only after careful plan ning and thorough investigation of the systems used In other large universi ties. The following points in its' favor are worthy of consideration: (1) The pro posed plan will remove the unjust bur den from the literary societies and will place the control of the Yackety Yack and Magazine in the hands' of the stu dent body. (2) The government of the Publications Union will be in the hands of three students, (elected by the stu dent body) and two faculty men who will be appointed by the President of the University. This will Insure the interests of the students along with the advice and experience of the two fac ulty members. (3) The' blanket fee which Is necessary for' the success of the plan will enable the students to sub scribe for the three publications for the very reasonable amount of five and a half dollars. (4) The funds obtained by the blanket fee will ' be sufficient to add appropriate facilities for the bet terment of the publications and put them on a sound financial basis. (5) The circulation of the publications will be increased greatly, making a propor tionately higher rate of advertising pos sible. (6) Statements of the funds will be published by the Treasurer,' so that all may keep accurate account of the disbursements. (7) With every student subscribing to the publications, more interest will be taken in them, and con sequently, a better quality of student literature will be secured. ' (8) The pro posed plan is not permanent. If it does not succeed sufficiently within two years to make its continuance advisable, it can be voted down by the students. Last week the literary societies were ties to new men, and this soothing sen sation of freedom from responsibility practically unanimous in endorsing the far outshadows the sentimentality in-1 plan, and this action by students who volved. Jake Wade will ponder no more ' perhaps are the most interested in the over Co-Ed dormitory problems, stingy publications seems to point favorably J then, it would have a good chance to defeat Mr. Ragsdale. The Publications Union would have meant that the two assemblies would relinquish all former power over the Magazine (and of course in that ease the Phi Assembly would not have any right to elect the editor-in-chief) and that the future editor-in-chief would have to be elected by the student body at large. The scheme was defeated. Of course the only reasons why the future editor of the Magazine was not desired by some, I have been told, are these: he is a fraternity man; wears a human smile; is not individu alistic, he mingles with everybody; does not appear sanctimonious; in short, he possesses neither the editorial abil ity of Horace Greely nor the agnostic tendencies of Ingersoll "God pity thee, oh, Future Editor!" Now, I know it's "hard to lose," but let's lose without squealing and without damning the winner; let's be real sportsmanlike like the Asheville Times, the editor of which wrote the following editorial upon the election of W. G. Harding as President of the United States, quoting in part: "Hon est to goodness, we did not want you as our President. But the American people wanted you as their President. Today and for the next four years you belong to all of us." Perhaps (?) others would have made a better editor than Mr. Ragsdale, but, since he was elected and since he is going to stay with us for the next year, why not say a good word? Let us learn to be more repressive and more thoughtful of oth ers.: Yours truly, G. D. GOOVER. CAROLINA SERENADERS PLAY AT BURLINGTON legislatures, and campus questions; Earl HartselL bothered no more with negli gent reporters and never-ending head lines, will revel In his unrestrained free dom akin to that of a convict released from a prison term; Wright Lankford's interest has turned to more alluring fields; George Bagsdale, profiting from his experience on the Tar HeeL will nurse along the Magazine, and will take tut a passive interest in the college paper. They are through, have written their "thirty," and will look back on their amateur journalistic experiences with mingled feelings of pathos and pleasure. Of the old crowd that saw service under "Dice" Daniels," two will be enrolled in new reportorial staff, Henry Duls and Buxton Midyette, the Hay-Shaker. . It would be folly at the present time to outline the Tar Heel policy for next year with the Publications Union plan still hanging in the balance and other important issues remaining to be set tled. Indications point to better oppor tunities for publishing an improved pa- to the final adoption of the Publications Union by the student body.. The Tar Heel urges that all consider the propo sition carefully before giving it a hasty rejection. ' COMMUNICATIONS l g 1 1 1 1 NOTE.

To the Editor: .; , For the sake of the good name of the Philanthropic Assembly, I wish to cor rect a statement made in the Carolina Magazine, by one of its associate edi tors, in regard to the election of the future editor-in-chief of the Carolina Magazine. In this blank and prosepoctical edi torial, April, .this kind associate writes: "The toy of gypsying w"s taken from our sails when the Phi Assembly ruth- The Carolina Hawaiian Serenaders is the name of the latest group of ingeni ous and talented students to organize for the purpose of commercializing their talent. This organization made a week end trip to Burlington and Graham re cently, where they played before large houres. Those making the trip were M. B. Madison, Hawaiian guitar; A. C. Hewitt and J. L. Neal, mandolins; F. K. Thomas, ukulele; S. A. Ellis and H. B. Floyd, guitars. A. C. Hewitt was also at the piano, and together with C. L. Leggett pulled the gymnastic stunts. . Besides their musical program, which consisted of instrumental and vocal so los, quartets and entire company selec tions, the Serenaders demonstrated their ability as acrobats. Messrs. ; Hewitt and Leggett, who recently won NC's in the gym, are the bright lights in this part of the program. Commenting upon the Carolina Ha waiian Serenaders, the Burlington News said: "On Thursday night the Carolina Ha waiian Serenaders, a group of students of the University of North Carolina, appeared in a program of vocal and instrumental music, varied with some vory fine acrobatic features. The af fair was given in the Municipal theater. Instruments used were the Hawaiian guitar, mandolins, guitars and piano, and the students certainly drew out the melodies and cadences in .a most be witching way. A. C. Hewitt and L. C. Leggett put on a line of mat and bar features in acrobatics that would have done credit to the most expert of ath letes. The program was a good one and a big success."
