Thursday, April 1, 1926 THE TWO CANDIDATES Several days ago it was suggest ed to the two candidates for the editorship of the Tar Hbel that they prepare editorials to be run in this issue of the paper for the purpose of furnishing the students with a means of comparing their ability through specimens of their work. Below are printed these editorials. New Era In Athletics .The reorganization of the Uni versity's coaching staff is one of the most significant events in the ath lectic history of the Institution. It is doubtful if the State is as yet ful ly aware of its far reaching effects. There is no escaping the fact that the. University is on the threshold of a new era in athletics. What that era will bring no one can foretell for a certainty. But there is sufficient cause for optimism. There is ample ground for making prophesies. There is reason to be lieve that this new era in athletics is going to be thoroughly in keeping with the enlarged program of pro gress made by the Greater Univer sity in other fields of endeavor. In the 131 years of this Institution, athletics have always kept pace with phases of its, development. This is no time for backsliding. Nor will there be any. ' ' : . - ' ' , The coaching committee has gone about its task in a business-like way. It has scoured the country for the best men available. It has received applications from hundreds of can didates. It has interviewed scores of them. It has met time and again for several months and the jneet ings have not been short. It has faced the problem of elimination. It has faced the problem of finding right combinations. It has faced the task and there is none harder-of trying to please hundreds of shades of alumni opinion. It has been 8 gruelling sort of a job. We believe the Coaching Commit tee has performed well. That may or may not be the unanimous verdict now. But we are confident it will be in due time. An impressive group of men have been chosen to aid coach Bob Fetzer in carrying on the enlarged program of physical ed ucation inaugurated under his guid- The Secret 'Ballot The livest issue facing the campus at present is Jhe election of men to fill the student todyjand class offi ces during the coming year. The annual election puts squarely up the individual students the most import ant problem they have to face in in their college life. 'That is the choosing of their leaders in the var ious fields of activity, and that prob lem is only a minature of the one they will face when they succeed to the duties of state and national citi zenship after graduation. The student election being held today is of more than ordinary im portance in that it tests for the first time a system of voting that is new to Carolina's elections. The Ausr tralian Ballot makes its debut to day, and its sucess or failure depends on the attitude the individual stu dents take. If they resent the ne cessary formalities and refuse to co operate,' it cannot succeed , as it should. It is clearly for the betterment of election conditions here and merits the full support of . all Carolina men. It means simply that each Ca rolina studen will vote as he be lieves, subject only to the dictates of his own conscience and not to the persuasive tongues of election work ers. Under the old system the candi dates whose friends possessed the most silvey tongues won out, but with the secret voting system it is the candidate who possesses the merits who will win. The voting today, according to i President J. B. Fordham, will be I done as follows: The student must check his name on the register be fore receiving a ballot, and after re ceiving his ballot he will enter a private booth and mark it. Every man must vote for himself, and stuf fed ballot boxes and absentee votes will be a thing of the past.? This will . Work for cleaner, straighter elections, and the standard of the men elected each year will rise ac cordingly. Clearly the right-think ing members of the student - body must support the new system. . : ' L. N. B. Heel, and have, found it excellent and in every way up the standard demanded of an editor of that organ... ; Mr. Byrd has been Sport Kditor of the Ta Hkki. this year, awl in that capacity has put in from two to, six hours work on practically every issue published dur ing the year. lie has, in addition to his duties on the Tar Hkki. staff, handled sports for the News Bureau. His work has-been consistent, of the finest quality, and at the same time he lias been able to run out more work than any niiui on the staff, ' A record has been kept of column inches of copy , turned in by.' each writer on' the Tab '; Hek. board, and Mr. Byrd leads the second man by more than 300 inches, and has nearly doubled the amount of copy turn ed in by the third man on the records. Besides being an active man in the publications field, Mr. Byrd has taken part in other lines of campus life. He was a member of freshman track team, and of the varsity track squad during the early part of last season, being forced to give up running due to in juries. He Is : thej, president of his dormitory , club and . is ; intimately ac quainted with all phases of campus life. I believe he will make an ideal man for the position, and I recommend him heartily to the student body. I Signed A. C. StTJf MERVIIXE, Editor-in-Chief of the Yackety Tack. OPEN FORUM To the Editor: I hava, been asked to help secure books for the High Point College library. We hot only need but timet have 8,000 vol umes in order to hold our rating as an A grade college. We are asking the faculty, the student body, and all residents of Chapel Hill to help us out all they possibly can on our new library. We need books of all kinds and will appreciate both quality and numbers. These books will be credited to the University, and, as I grew up under the sound of that old college bell, I am proud enough of my native town and its college to be very anxious that it be the best and largest collection in High Point College. I am - calling on all I can in persun, but cannot hope to reach all. The Y. M. C. A. is receiving and car ing for the books ; and Miss Ames, the secretary, will keep a record of all names and the number of volumes donated. Be a friend to High Point College. Mas. J. J. Ciawfosd. To the Student Body: . Due to un unforeseen and entirely re grettable, turn of events in chapel on Monday morning in connection with the nomination of Mr. L. N, Byrd for editor-in-chief of the Tah Heel for next' year, I was robbed of an opportunity to 6peak any word of recommendation for my candidate for the position. In view of the circumstances, I would like to get my message ; across , to' all lovers of square play among the Carolina students through the medium of the Open Forum. I have been connected with publica tions work on the "Hill" for four years, and am in position to judge the qualifi cations of a man for any position in the publications field. I have known Mr. Byrd and watched Ids work on the Tab Debate Schedule The debate council announces the fol lowing events for debaters during the Spring quarter. - . T. The preliminaries for the selection it the representatives of Carolina against Tulane University will be held in the Phi Hall on April 13, 1926, the query being Resolved, That a department of National defense, should be created, with separate branches for the . army, navy, and air. TJhe finals are to be held at Tulane Uni versity late in April. ? The fact that those making this debate will enjoy the privi- ege of a very good trip should bring many participants into the preliminaries. 2. The preliminaries for the dual in ter-collegiate debate with Davidson will also take place immediately after the holidays. This debate is open only to Freshmen and takes the place of the regular freshman inter-collegiate tri angle debate, Wake Forest having been dropped this year. The query for the freshmen is Jletolved, That the military forces of the United States should be consolidated into a department of na tional defense with sub branches of. the army, navy, and air forces. Two teams of two men each are to be picked for the finals which are to take place about the first week in May. 3. The peace oratorical contest partic ipants, also are to be chosen in the near future, and it Is hoped that much work will be done before the preliminaries. LEHIGH FIRST ON BASEBALL JAUNT Pennsylvanians Carded For High Point Saturday , Afternoon. DAVIDSON AT SALISBURY Five Other Games in Virginia and Maryland During Holidays. Following their season opener with the Dartmouth Greens here Wednesday afternoon the Duncanites will meet the Lehigh University tossers in High Point at the Piedmont League Park in the first game of the long Easter trip through western North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. The Lehigh engagement was originally carded for today on Emmer son Field, but to accommodate the visi tors from the North the date was changed to Saturday. A shift of the Guilford game enabled the Tar Heel au thorities to make the change of dates. The game with the Pennsylvanians comes on the next day after the Uni versity closes for holidays, and many of the students from the western part of the state will stop over in- High Point for the game. The Lehigh outfit will present powerful aggregation, and the game will furnish a good line on the Strength of the Tar Heels for clasing during the remainder of the northern in vasion. ' ' : ':'' ' On Monday afternoon the Tar Heels will meet Davidson's slugging wildcats in the second game of the trip. The annual Easter Monday classic between the Tar Heels and Wildcats has become a fixture on both schedules and always draws a crowd of supporters from the alumni and students of both teams. The Wildcats have been met in Gastonia for the past two yearsf but the Carolina alumni of the Rowan County metropolis made a strong bid for the contest this year. , , . . , Virginia Polytechnic Institute will be the next outflit on the cards, entertain ing the Carolina nine there on Tuesday of Easter week.

The time is near at hand when the vernal awakening will cause sporadic outpours of pfcnned-up sentiment; burst ing forth in verse, seldom in poetry; and the children of men do strange and fool ish things. For March is the month when Nature does strange things '. for her young. It is a month when mystery and yearning come on the night wind; when April is near;, a period of promise and hope, when quickened aspirations start in the mind as well as the sap from the roots in the ground. Only things and souls that are dead fail to begin life anew in the Spring. And the Gardener does not thrill at a dead seed or a dead soul. LOST A . small gold fountain pen several days ago. Return to 115F and receive reward. ' ". It would tuke nothing short of a cata clysm to crack the armor of smug, Ignor ant self-sufficiency which has covered the average college , student ' from" head to foot. So thick in this armor that the mass mind of collegians has' become something of a vast, inert, almost nerve less body encrusted with parasites. Sy barites, youthful hedonists, atheists, slang arists and what not the world calls us. And we are not interested enough to answer back. v The few who do crack the armor of Smugness and take any sort of stand are victims of young cynicism the bitterest thing there is. If one will conform, college becomes a most admirable place to spend four years in escape from reality. . While the process of enlarging the col leges has gone on, many of the "finer things of college life" have suffered from fatty 'degeneration at the heart. Out of such a situation has arisen "new stu dent" sentiment the spirit of revolt that is seen on campuses here, and there. It is like some God-given desire for free dom a Call to this generation of college students to emancipate themselves, that they be allowed to participate In their own education. Stands are taken against compulsory chapel; certain rules and ARE YOU A LOTUS EATER? Don't you think you have been drifting past Opportunity long enough? If you are interested in making your vacation count and are willing to use your education, the John C. Winston Company holds out great probabilities to you. Success requires action as well as thought, J. F. COOPER, 201 Manly regulations are forcibly abolished by stu dent vote; and compulsory lectures are coming to be tactily tolerated as a nec essary Incentive to ea rly rising, or In some cases even condemned by student vote as an unbearable nuisance. Such are hailed as healthy signs. The "new student" charges the faculty as being a group of stilted,, pompous, academic, sentimentul idealists who are usually old fogie stickless for trivial details; at best a type of intelligent ma chine whose boring function Is to dehu manize the students under its charge. The faculty comes back with the chal lenge that the 'new" students get out and come nearer making the world safe for democracy, or for decency, or for beauty, than they have done so far as teachers.' We may be in the Golden Age of American literature. Certainly the monetary side of It bespeaks this. On every side there aie prices for novels, awards for short stories, poetry prlie contests clinking sound of golden coin urging all to write, write, poetry, prose, balderdash, flapdoodle rhyme, true stor ies, photoplays, confessionals and what not. Write that the great reading pub lic may read. The public whose tastes run more for popular sentimental maga zines and pornographic periodicals than for literature. It may be the Golden Age. If so, may the age prove to be short-lived. Word artists, whose literary back ground is seldom more than a clever brain and a typewriter, run hog wild over the prim laws of literary produc tion, and wax Hat on the demand for quantity production!,' Their work is mainly a prostitution of words and tricks of , rhetoric for immediate gain. It may be literary effort; but literary effort that walks the tight-rope, stands on its head, pirouettes wildly on its toes, then( goes ripping and zigzagging sky ward in a blaie of pyrotechnic glory Is not art. It Is an orgy, and is usually followed by a penetentiul headache. Cer tainly it makes no contact with art or life that is genuine. ;.. , ... . Education, the bait by which many normal and well-meaning young people are lured to college campuses, is not automatically attained, like some object to be grasped at the end of four years. Each of us may hold but a small portion of it; the quantities varying; diplomas are but symbols. But even that small portion Is enough to enrich existence. (Continued Of page two) P.
