SPECIAL MEETING OP PITT COUNTY BOYS All boys from Pitt County are asked to meet iii the Club room on the second floor of the Y. M. C. A tonight for the purpose of organizing a County Club. At a meeting of the boys held last Friday night, the election of "of ficers was postponed because of the absence of so many of the boys. The Pitt County Club was in active last year, but heretofore it has been one of the livest county clubs on the Hill. There are about 40 boys here from Pitt county and it is expected that there will be a large num ber present at .the meeting to night which will begin promptly at 8:30. Light refreshments will be served. ' Not always can flowers, pearls, poetry, protestations, nor even home in another heart, content the awful soul that dwells in clay.

City- Open Forum As was stated in Saturday's Tab Heel the editorial force is glad to have "students express their opinions through the columns of the OPEN FOUUJf Section of the paper. But, after today's issue, all open forum let ters must be limited to a length of 200 words! '" The letters must be typewrit ten on typewriter paper, double spaced, and the writer's name signed in full; if the writer does not want to publish his name, indicate the fact and the initials or a pseudonym will be used. Not more than five or six let ters will be printed in one edition. Editor of Tar Heel: To my mind the recent con troversy over the story "Slaves" has Drought to light a serious fault in the administration of the student publications on the campus. That fault is !"to whom are the Editors of the student publications responsible for .the reading matter that appears in theijr respective publications?" In what body of men, either stu dent or faculty, is authority vested to determine whether or not a student publication has printed material that should not appear in a student publication? By "student publication" I mean those that are members of the Publications Union. ' In the opinion of some, the Publications Board, since they have control of the publications, is the proper body to deal with abuses of the Editorial privi lege. However I 4iave made a close examination of the consti tution of the Publications Union in connection with one of the Faculty Advisers to the board, and neither of us could find any clause that would give the Board that authority, their authority being confined chiefly to the business end of , the publica tions. Theoreticall7,Hhe Editors are responsible to the student body as they are directly elected by them by ballot. In the "Slaves episode the Student Council, as the representatives of the stu dent body in charge of student conduct and government, saw fit to take the discipline of the Edi tor of the Magazine and his as sistant Editor into their own hands and mete out to them a most-severe sentence. They were accorded the same treatment, as if they had been found guilty of drinking or gambling.. I am con vinced that the Student Council overstepped their authority as these men could only be removed from office by the same instru ment that put them in office, by the student body at the polls or by the . Faculty. They had vio lated no University ruling and their offence, if any, was outside the sphere controlled by the Student Council. The University is too large and too complex for a group of eight men to hold disciplinary power over" all' of its organiza tions.- The Pan-Hellenic CounP cil deajs with allmatters. relating to fraternities, and ' succeeds. Let us have a group, appointed by the President or elected by the students, composed jointly of the Faculty and students, that shall have as their province, the discipline of Editors that, in their opinion, have abused their privilege as an Editor, in pub lishing in their columns matter that is not compatible with the best interests of the student body and With the University. The spirit of Mencken seems toJ be in the ascendency on the cam pus and this is the only method I know that will be able to cope with it fairly and successfully. : J. C.

The Book Exchange Editor of Tar Heel: ' Ordinarily we would not be in terested in participating in the controversy that has arisen due to the recent actions taken by the .Student Council. However, a letter" printed in the last is sue of jthe Tar Heel by Mr. A. S. partus has aroused lis to the point' of indignation and We eel that the student body is deserv ing of an explanation other than the delusive and noticeably pre judiced letter of -Mr. Kartus. We do not wish to question the right of Mr. Kartus to defend his friend, and fellow law student (which he would probably do even in criminal court). As for that matter, the authors of this article do not question the char acter and scholastic "ability of the man who so violated the reg ulations of the University as to merit the sentence served upon him because we ourselves, are close friends of the student who was suspended. We do oppose the statement that Mr. Chappell was serving in the capacity of an officer shortly after midnight October 10th. We know that Mr. Chappell was not on the scene when the student was ta ken into custody by the police employed to preserve order in the Town of Chapel Hill and fur thermorej that Mr. Chappell had previously warned the student through his room-mate, asking him, as a friend, to retire to his room in order to avoid further trouble, . Duty to Carolina? We admit that the Student Council owes to every fellow student due con sideration but, on the other hand, does not every Carolina man owe to his Alma Mater the respect and loyalty becoming of a gentleman? Shall the Caro lina student body so shirk the i deals and responsibility that each Carolina man is expected to assume when he enters the Uni versity, that Mr. Kartus may have the audacity to make a dog matic statement questioning the action of the Student Council, whose sole purpose is to uphold those ideals? ; We feel that Mr. Kartus , is sadly lacking in information on the facts of the case but regard less of his ignorance,' has taken upon himself f the capacity of a critic which should only be as sumed by a man who is thor oughly acquainted with every as pect of his subject and capable of giving an unbiased and un prejudiced opinion instead of a false and misleading concep tion unworthy of fairminded Carolina students. Z. J.W. and J. S. R. we believe they are among the best to be found anywhere and we are jealous of their reputation. In pref erence to having anything that would (end to hurt the team go before the public, I am sure the coaches would be willing to "listen" to a little ad vice from an irresponsible person. There is undoubtedly a place for a critical newspaper on the . campus, however. If the criticism is good, of fered in the right spirit, and is di rected in the right - direction, there is no mistaking its helpfulness. In telligent criticism makes us cosmo politan, and in becoming thus is' our only hope of rising above intoler ance, bias and prejudice. If we are to be rational beings we should not waste time and thought in the nar row shibboleths of any faction or school. v Someone has said that it is a great sin to slay a fair thought, but in jus tification of criticism, is it not e qually as great a sin to ; not slay a bad one? It is obvious that an in telligent critic must be of a: philoso pher's temperament, recognizing no position as final and loving truth none the less because it is unattainable. It is best to forget the person' always and criticise the idea, for in this way one can avoid invective. Some of us become impervious to reason once we take our stand on anything. "It is much easier to, be critical than to be correct," says Disraeli. - In the legislatures where the voice of peoples is heard, one usually finds three distinct parties representing at titudes, viz., radicals, conservatives, and middle men. Of these the middle men are more numerous as a rule, and act as a check to the extremists. From the arguments and criticisms of the extremists they cull what is best, unite it with their own beliefs, and thereby use every man's wisdom in determin ing what is wisest for all. Tolera tion has been preached for ages and where it has flourished most, there has been the most advancement. . Are our country's newspapers not so divided, and who will say that each division does hot make contributions to the sane judgment of what is best for all? : . : ' te: O. LEWIS.

Bill' " - To the Editor: -In view of the much discussed do fection to Carolina institutions and the unthoughtful criticism they have been subjected to, I am induced to give my idea of the value and place of criticism. , The wisdom of criticising our ath letic teams through the instrument ality of our university papers has never been apparent .to me. It would seem that the student or organiza tion thus expressing himself is put ting himself in the jplace of a man,: unmindful of the. prestige of his fam ily, taking a purely family matter before the public Of course we do not have perfect athletic teams, but Editor of the Tar Heel: Since the recent action of the Stu dent Council concerning - the Editor and the Assistant Editor of 4he Caro Una Magazine took-place, there has been much discussion among the stu dents both pro and con concerning the action of the Council. ' Some seem to think that the Council was justified; others seem to think that the action was top drastic; while still others seem to think that the Council went beyond its jurisdiction. Now let us analyze the above views, From the general trend of talk, on the campus, I find that the majority of the students are backing the Council. Why? For the simple reason that the I article which, has coused so much J commotion is, not in keeping with their sense of decency and propriety. As for the penalty, I see nothing too drastic. The Heads of the Magazine were given -the opportunity to resign. Since they made such a dismal failure of getting out a Magazine that repre sents Carolina thought and opinion, they should have resigned gladly. What was there in the Carolina Maga zine that could be termed Carolina thought and -opinion? .... There were three articles by . Carolina students. Breard's article was the only one that had any real thought in it. . Note I am not classing the contributions of outsiders as Carolina thought and opinion. ;v Cardwell's - -poem, . it could be called such, ... is void of thought. As for Fowler's story, I will let you judge for yourselves. Did the Student Council exceed its pow ers ? , , No, .. It is clearly evident that some action was needed. Who was to give the action, if it was not the stu dents acting through their duly chosen representatives? The problem in hand is clearly a student problem, and our representatives were ' justified in dealing with it as such. The pres tige of Student Government on this campus demands that we look after our own problems. Since it does, we should back -.the . Council to the last man. The . prestige of the Student Cour.cirwill suffer greatly if its de cision is reversed by the faculty. Let us keep this in mind while we are dis cussing this affair. Wm. T. ALEXANDER, III. "Faun", and has taken a stand for promotion of expressions of disloyalty and unneeded criticism of the school and activities, they would realize that much action, indeed, is expected from that source. ' C. W. Bazemore, reputed! to have ambitions towards authorship, comes out, probably from an. attitude of "Birds of a feather flock together" and wishing to make a dazzling dis play of his knowledge by his use of big words, which is decidedly poor taste, ' would defend the ' persons in question, advocating the use of out side material, saying that the editor. must, get out a magazine, monthly. By whom, or what, may I ask, is it required? True, using outside ma terial betters the magazine, but if that were used altogether, the editor .could not put it on par with numerous mag azines on the market, If it can not be a decent magazine, using student contributions, its purpose fails, and it would be best, I contend, for it "to cease to be. It can not be denied that an extremely extensive campaign has been made to get the students inter ested. A whole article in the Tab Heel, and another in the Magazine it self, both concerning the subject. What more could possibly be done? It is interesting, and amusing, to note that those two are also in charge of the "Faun" which word I believe should be "Fawn". ( I wonder what they call their sheet of "intelligent opinion". Even with their disgusting egotism, surely they do not term it a newspaper. Or do they class such drivel as literature? A speaker, not long ago, said that this place will make a man or. a fool. The "staff" of the "Faun," seems to be excellent proof of half that statement; the lat ter half. To my own knowledge one of that number, quite brilliant in high school, entered the . University six years ago, taking a course which the average student completes in four years. - in what should have been bis senior year, in addition to his course, he splurged into editorship of some magazine, making a complete lailure of both. It is likely that all of them were' once possessed of aspirations to soon have the school at their feet, and having failed"! make light of oth ers trying to gain honors, , which sounds suspiciously like a confession, reminding one that once upon a time there was a fox who didn't like sour grapes. A group, such as that, as sumes the task of giving "intelligent opinions." From reading the "Faun," one gets the impression, to put it lightly, that the publishers are dissatisfied with Carolina. If so, by what bonds are To the Editor: It is with hearty approval, I think, that the majority of the student body endorses the action of the Student Council in regard to the request that those responsible for that bit of filth appearing in the recent issue of the Magazine end their connection with it. A few, ' of the same mind as the author, declaring it to be "hot stuff", oppose the removal of these men, de siring that the publication be brought to such a low level.- Others believe something should be done, but not by the student council.. Let the Pub lications Union Board handle it," they demand. . If these would recollect that one Breard is head of the board, and is also one Of the promoters of the they held here. 'Would it not be bet ter for all ; if the ' Student Council would ask that .Starr and Fowler not only sever connection with the fdagar zine, but .that they, wjth theothers of the "Faun," take themselves and their "intelligent " opinions" -'V elsewhere, where they are mere needed atd desir-i ed? . . 3. 3.
