With all due respects to the genius and oratorical powers of Mr. Parker the students will flock to Memorial Hall not so much to hear him as to see the black-hooded figures stride majestically up and down the aisles and pounce upon the ten outstanding stu dents, the men designated by the Gold en Fleece to be worthy of membership. The task of selecting ten men who have shown themselves to be the very best the University offers in regard to high moral character, achievements in their particular fields, and the other qualifications that enter into the selec tion, is anything but easy. No matter how carefully the members of Golden Fleece comb over the student body in search for the ten most representative men, and after weighing the respective merits with infinite care, make their choice, there will still be many good men left out There are more than ten students who are of the Golden Fleece caliber, and the difficulty lies in decid ing what candidates should be left out. It is very much like picking a mythical Ail-American team. The eleven men chosen for the official team are always, brawny, brainy giants, but other teams of equal prowess could be selected. In the final decision, statistics undoubtedly play a leading part, but cold statistics do not always toll the complete story of a man's worth. The lucky men to be topped Friday night may or may not be the most de serving of the most distinctive and esteemed honor that can be bestowed on a Carolina man, but at least the selection has been made with all fair ness and sound judgment, and the ulti mate choice of the new men should be accepted with respect and good feeling. COMMUNICATIONS YACKETY YACK ELECTION The overwhelming vote cast in favor of the publications union plan was a gratifying result to the men who have worked and planned together to put the college publications on a firmer, more systematized basis. When the result of ' the ballot was finally announced it marked the first step of a plan that has been in the process of making for sev eral years and that has only , been achieved after a hard, persistent strug gle to present it in such a favorable light that its necessity for adoption should be apparent to the most skepti cal. - However, this is only a beginning. The responsibility of organizing the Publications Union is a weighty one, and those whom the student body selects for this task should be men of unusual executive ability, sound judg ment in financial matters, and experi ence in the management of college pub lications. As a matter of form, the adopted plan must be passed on by the Trustees at their next meeting which will take place a t Commencement week. In view of the fact that the students favored the plan so heartily, the Trus tees ought not to hesitate in giving it their sanction. In order to clear up the many details entailed in the constitution of the Pub lications Union and to pave the way for its smooth working next fall, the elec tions for the new Publications Board will be held this week, and the elected officers will begin immediately to put the plan into effective operation. The ! their own. class President of the Board can come from any class or school, one member is to be chosen from the rising Senior class or from the professions 1 schools, and the other member from the rising Junior class. To complete the board two fac ulty members will be chosen by Presi dent Chase," one to look out for the fin ances and the other for the editorial end. The success of the Publications Un ion will largely rest on the type of men selected for the Board, for it will be their duty to take the initiative as the faculty members will serve in the ca pacity of advisers. A wise choice by the student body for three men of rec ognized ability and energy, and imme diate action by the newly elected offi cers in making ready the machinery of the plan, will enable the publications to show marked results next fall. In the Communications column the Junior Class Executive Committee goes on record as being dissatisfied with the recent Yackety Yack election in which A. Ii. Purrington of the Class of '21 and now in the Law School was chosen editor for next year. In view of the facts it seems that the Executive Com mittee is justified in raising the ques tion as to whether the Pan-Hellenic council acted wisely in electing a stu dent of the Law School as editor of the Yackety Yack, which is essentially a Senior Annual and is largely devoted to activities of the Senior class. Mr. Purrington established a worthy record here in all the activities he en gaged in, and in regard to literary abil ity, experience and organization capac ity he is well qualified for the task. However, it is a well known fact that a student of a professional school soon passes beyond the swirl of student body activities and loses, the eager interest he once had for campus affairs. His work is usually of such a nature as to make his time limited and his associa tions naturally become restricted to a smaller group. In the past the editors of the Yackety Yack have invariably been selected from the Senior class, and undoubtedly the members of the Executive Commit tee voice the sentiment of the rising Senior class in desiring that this tradi tion be adhered to. A considerable por tion of the Yackety Yack is taken up with Senior class statistics and activi ties making the larger part of the finan cial burden fall on the Seniors. There fore it seems likely that the Seniors would lend more interest and co-operation in a Yackety Yack which is con trolled and managed by members of Beta Alpha Phi Has Guests for Week-end GOLDEN FLEECE TAPPING On Friday evening of this week Me morial Hall should be well filled for the annual Golden Fleece Tapping, an event which outshadows the Carolina Smoker in creating enthusiasm and en joyment. On this occasion John J. Parker, a man who carved a brilliant record in his undergraduate days at the University and is now keeping pace with the honors he achieved in college, Beta Alpha Phi sorority had as their guests last week-end two members of Pi Beta Phi, possibly the oldest and largest sorority in the country. Miss Mary Young came from Randolph-Macon College with Miss Allcne Hugue of Hollins to look over the local petition ers. The local sorority has the recommen dation of every fraternity on the hill. It will mean that Carolina is to be ac cepted among the accredited women's colleges of the South as she will have then two sororities that rank with the very best. Rumor has it that the peti tioners have excellent chances for suc cess. The visitors were given an at-home at the Sigma Chi house Friday night. Saturday morning a bridge party was given in their honor. Saturday after noon they attended, the game. They were given a feed by Miss Nellie Rob erson Saturday night after the Owl Club dance. Miss Young and Miss Hugue remain ed at the Hill until late Sunday. They seemed very much pleased with Carolina. NOTE. This column is for the fre exchange of ootnion among our readers.

To the Editor of the Tar Heel: At a recent meeting of the Execu tive Committee of the Junior class, it was decided that the committee should express through the columns of the Tar Heel its opinion of the Yackety Yack election in which A. L. Purrington was elected Editor for the year 1923-24. Since the rising Senior class will bo more vitallv interested in the Annual than anv other class, it seems to us that the editor should come from the Senior class. Next year the members of '24 will occupy more space in 'the Yackety Yack and will consequently be obliged to pay a larger bill than any other group, and it only seems fair that a Senior, who has been associated with the class for three years and is well acquainted with members of the class .should handle the Annual. Mr. Purrington graduated in 1921 and spent one year outside of college, and al though we believe that Mr. Purrington is thoroughly able and experienced in publication work, wc think that the Pan-Hellenic Council in electing him did not sufficiently look out for the in terests of next year's Senior class.

SEASON IS NEARING CLOSE Local Branch A. Ph. A. Elects Men To Office The North Carolina branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association, established in the fall of 1922, met Fri day night to elect officers for the ensu ing year. W. A. Ward, president of the first year pharmacy class, was chosen president of the local branch, while F. B. Brookshire and E. Reece were chosen vice-presir'ents, and C. R. White head was elected secretary and treas urer for the coming year. President Ward, A. P. Westbrook and Dean How ells of the pharmacy school were select ed to represent the North Carolina branch as delegates at the Association's Convention to be held in Asheville in September. The members were enjoy able entertained with picture slides of bacteria and anti-toxin germs during the meeting. The local branch has a membership of approximately 30 phar macy students. Sociology Men Leave For National Meeting The National Conference of Social Work, one of the largest organizations in the United States, holds its 50th an niversary meeting in Washington, D. C, May 16-23. The general topic for this year's conference will be social work in the daily life. The conference will number 5,000 from over the United States and many prominent leaders in social work in for eign countries. Those going from here are Drs. Steiner, Odum and Professor Meyers, and a number of students from the school of public welfare. - Secretary Hughes is slated to give the opening address of the conference Other prominent speakers include Ho mer Folks, president of the conference; Dr. Roscoe Pound, dean of the Harvard Law School; Dr. Livingstone Farrand, president of Cornell University, and Herbert Hoover. Dr. Odum will speak on the Scien tific Journal. Miss Kate Burr John son, Commissioner of Public Welfare for North Carolina, will also be one of the speakers. DISCUSS UNION IN CHAPEL The greater part of the chapel perio 1 last Friday was devoted to a discus sion of the publications union question. Thomas Turner opened the period with a short discussion of the union as the best method for governing the publica tions of the University, and answered several questions put forward by J. Y. Carr. That was the only thing in the nature of a discussion which occurred, but J. O. Harmon made a statement in which he said that the proposed plan seemed to him to be the best plan which it was possible to put forth at the pres ent time, and he showed how the sys tem of having the publications all under one head had proved to be tho best at some of the larger institutions of the South. Manager Paulsen, of the Laundry, was in Washington the latter part of last week attending a meeting of the National Laundry Association. He and a party motored through the country to Washington. While there Mr. Paul sen addressed the Association. The freshman track team's Asheville moot on Saturday resulted in a score of 62 points for the visitors and 69 points for the combined teams of Asheville School, Asheville High, Carolina Mili tary and Naval Academy, Christ School, and Candler High. The withdrawal of the Teniiesse freshmen and the failure of the prep schools to limit their entries by a preliminary meet changed the pro gram somewhRt. The contest was run off as a dual meet with the 50 or more entrants of the prep schools as the Western North Carolina Conference Team, opposed by the 14 men forming the freshman team. This arrangement made the freshmen outnumbered about four to one in each event and compelled the dash men and hurdlers to use a lot of their energy in riming trial heats. Nevertheless Caro lina won 20 points more than the next highest scorer, Asheville School. Shumway of Asheville School won the cup for highest individual scorer by taking first place in the high jump, pole vault, and high hurdles, and second in the low hurdles, making 18 points in all. Umbenhnuer came next with 15 points by winning the 50, 100, and 220 yard dashes, while Fordham was third witn n points, taKing nrst place an the discus and javelin, second in the shot-put, and third in the broad jump. Other high scorers for the freshmen were Huggins 9 points, Buchanan 8, Wessells 7, Thach 6, and Moore 5. Fordham 's javelin throw of 153 feet in the face of a heavy wind, Umben hauer's 100-yard dash in 10 1-5 seconds, and 220-yard- dash in 23 2-5 seconds, Shumway 's 120-yard hurdle time of 16 4-5 seconds, and Hoag's shot-put of 43 feet 5 inches, were the outstanding records of the meet. The contestants winning first, second and third places with the time of the winner are as follows: 100 yard dash Umbenhauer, C. M. N. A.; Cutting, Asheville School; Kin caid, C. M. N. A.
