THE TAR HEEL
Page Three
The Driftwood Fire
By Dave Carroll
There has been some doubt
concerning this columnist's plan
of procedure in his future policy
of publishing political news.
Therefore, we wish to make the
following statements concerning
our treatment of frame-ups,
candidates, and politics gen
erally.' 1. Sometime ago the writer
offered this column to the pub
lication of political "dope." His
decision to put before the stu
dent body those men who are
v favored for its offices has been,
and can be, changed none what
soever. But since we can not be
expected to serve as campus
sleuth, we request thai the stu
dent body co-operate with us in
making its elections more whole
some. The campaign for clean
politics should not be left to any
.one student; in this case, it is
no personal hobby with us.
2. We request that any stu
dent who knows a matter of poli
tical interest mail that informa
tion in a letter, signed or un
signed, to this columnist. Even
strong suspicions should be re
ported for fair investigation, be
cause we cannot always expect
absolute knowledge from our
correspondents. '
3. The columnist will obtain
a trustworthy reply to all those
indictments with which he may
be provided. He will seek to
verify or disprove all accusa
tions which may come to him.
At any rate, the result of his
findings will be made known to
the student body. "t
I. In order that the student
body may be assured that we
hall not conceal any letter, or
treat any one with undue pref
erence, we request that a copy
f all information given us be;
sent to the editor of this paper.
This impartial official will act as
a guard to our fairness. '
5. In the attack on secrecy,
we shall be bound by rid personal
friendships or affiliations, but
only by a desire to present, to the
campus the men who ' may be
deemed worthy or unworthy of
its offices. " .
The appearance of names
and political hews will not neces
sarily mean that we have un
earthed a plot. We are devoted
to all significant publicity, good
or bad. . The nature of our in
formation the reader must judge
from the facts themselves. A
prospective candidate's own ac
tions will determine his' praise
or his condemnation. V '
The Student Council
As usual, the prosecution of
offenders by a vigorous student
council has raised a caterwaul
from this campus. To us the
issues 'seem to be: 1. Has the
student council the power to co
erce testimony from one student
in order to secure the punish
ment of another? 2. Were the
penalties for the lightest of
fenses justified in the recent de
cisions?
Under the present system we
'consider it necessary that the
councilmen be empowered to
punish witnesses whose silence
may frustrate justice. But we do
not believe, that indictments or
names (not convictions) may be
secured legally by forcing one
student to testify against anotn
er." We also consider the pres
ent ignorance of council proce
dure a rosy tribute to student
apathy and-councillors' lethargy.
Finally, although it is possible
that true decisions may .have
been rendered in the recent case,
we do not believe that the coun
cil was justified in assuming, as
a principle of student govern
ment, a thing which is obviously
not a part of student sentiment
here namely that any man
may be shipped for refusal to

testify against another. ' '(Ex
pulsion was evidently threatened
in the case of some men who at
first refused to incriminate oth
ers.) On this one great point we
believe the council to be in error,
even though their final verdict
may have benefited ' campus
society.
No , Reversal
But any "government on this
campus should punish lying,
cheating, gambling, drinking,
and defiant thrusts at justice.
Unless some of the verdicts were
extremely harsh, the student
body should entertain no idea of
requiring a new trial. We wel
come the present controversy,
for it may decide one question:
Is the present system of govern
ment, as now directed by the
student council, as understood by
few, and obeyed by almost none,
the accurate representation of
student sentiment which it
should be? For several years
student government has i been
misunderstood. It is high time
that we coolly build a strong ap
pellate court. ' x :
FINAL INTRAMURAL

intra-mural circles this year af
ter a lapse of a year and the sev
eral dormitories have taken an
active interest in the fighting
game. The final match Friday

crowd of spectators.
