McNeill Self-Government's Victory i (By Jud Ashby) The report- of the committee appointed to investigate the ac tion of the student council in suspending thirteen students, spells a victory for student gov ernment at the University- of North Carolina. Anyone sufficiently interested in student affairs to digest the voluminous statement of the committee's finding, will observe that this group of men struck at the base of the whole situa tion, dug back of the plethora of incidental evidence and the pres ent controversy. Out of this in vestigation several well-defined conclusions come. The named body "was impressed, during the investigation1 and discussion, with the hazy and confused con ception that the student body had in regard to the Honor Sys tem, and student government." The committee found that it felt that it would be expressing the sentiment of the student body in recommending that the Honor System be limited to cheating, stealing and lying." ' . As to what course and action will be taken this morning when the report of the committee is aid before the student body in session is a matter of passing importance.

Tuesday, March 29, 1927 THE "TRIAL" EDITORIALS The editorial columns of the Tar Heel for the three issues this week will be given over chiefly for use by the three can didates, who are running- for next year's editorship. An ,ex ceptibn to this is Dave Carroll, who is continuing his Writings on politics. , - The three managing editors, J ud Ashby, Byron White, and Holt McPherson, are the candi dates, and each has been given notice that he may write at least one editorial for each of the three issues this week. None is required ; it is left entirely to the men whether they will con tribute a sample of their work. They will not be allowed to con tribute to the Tuesday issue of next week, which will be last one before' the elections on the following day. ' 1 These "trial" editorials are be ing run for the purpose of try ing to give the campus some line on the suitability of the nom inees for the position of editor ship of this paper during the coming year. It is a matter of placing the men in position to be voted on intelligently by the student hody putting merit as the prime consideration. We hope that the students have been forming opinions all during the year on the capabil ity of the men whoare in charge of the different issues, and ear nestly ask that every one who intends to vote in the coming elections pay especial attention to the three issues of the Tar Heel this week. We expect to have something to say about the individual candidates in one of the issues before the elections. construed to mean that .the wel fare of the thirteen men is a trivial matter. It isnly to be observed that out of the trials and tribulations of the few, the accomplishments which work fpr the good of the multitude are wrought. ' , ' v The absence of intervention by the faculty in this contro versy is indicative of their con fidence in the student body. The meeting of the students as a con stitutent assembly, and their ac tion of appointing the commit tee to investigate the whole af fair, leads to the conclusion that self-government is more of a reality than it may have been thought Without the faculty taking a hand, the student body gave proof positive that it was, and is, able to handle its otfn government. The outcome of the whole af fair, we believe, will be a tri umph for . student self-govern ment at Carolina, which is dem ocracy's victory as well. EDITORIAL RESPONSIBDLITY Arn't those Chinese perfectly pre cious I Imagine a nation Pushing to run its own business. Atlanta, Constitution. (Bjf Holt McPherson) This issue of the Tar Heel marks the inauguration of an 'on approval' week, editorially speaking. These columns for the most part will be filled with edi torials from the pens of men whd aspire to the editorship of the paper for the remainder of this year and up until this time next year. The work submitted will serve more or less as an index for the campus and those per sons interested in the welfare of the paper concerning the type of editorial work that can be reasonably expected from each of the three candidates. ' - Naturally no one expects to j udge a man's ability, to direct the editorial policy of the paper by the type of work he exhibits in a single editorial, however the writings offered will serve as a guide to the ability of the young journalists. Readers who care fully follow the trend of thought shown in these trial editorials will more than likely become ac quainted with some of the gen eral characteristics of the men. Before drawing final conclusions it is a wise plan to -reflect upon the quality of work each has shown as managing editor of his issue throughout the present year. ' This year the student body is fortunate in that it is offered three men for editorship of the Tar Heel anyone of whom is capable of writing acceptable editorials and apparently is able to steer the paper in a creditable fashion. Therefore the problem confronting the voters is not that of choosing a good editor, but of choosing a man who will make the paper, worthy of being representative of the University of North Carolina and which at the. same time will command the respect of the students and pa trons of the school. The editor of the I campus newspaper is no figurehead. The guiding of student body thought and opinion lies largely with the editor, and if he chooses to di rect opinion along wholesome lines he will have kept faith with the student body which elected him. However, if he chooses to shirk the responsibility entrust ed to him, then both the paper and the student body will suf fer. It is imperative that the student body investgiate "care fully the work shown by the three candidates and seek to choose for editor the man who! most nearly exemplifies their idea of what the editor of the paper should be. What Every Young Should Know Woman (By D. D.C.) It is a laughable fact that each year brings 'imxious can didates who solemnly declare that theirs is the "most unusual and freakish race in the history of Carolina' politics." But the coming elections will be undoubt edly unique on account of the students whom 'they will call to the polls. It is both desirable and im perative that we consider the hundred-odd co-ed votes. We have heard from reliable sources male and female that woman suffrage will show its power in the next election. This news Is indeed welcome. Perhaps, un der the . leadership of certain prominent young ladies (who have a strong following among boys, at least) the co-eds may enhance their campus record by casting many intelligent votes. Their campus record, as they must know, has thus far been an insipid history of sweet nothings. ' Politicians declare that the election of certain doubtful men was made possible last year by the ballots and influence of women students who had been sadly, duped by adroit talkers Far be it from the writer's abil ity to believe that woman's su premacy in this line has been questioned. But we recall re sentfully the arrogance of vari ous political scouts who boasted, at a secret caucus last year, that their Romeos could "sew up any houseful of girls." No one is more desirous than we of seeing this insult to femin ine judgment avenged. It is ob vious that an absurd masculine New Vest Pocket KODAKS The new Vest Pocket Ko daks, Series III and Special, are how on display here. - , Equipment assures sharp, clean-cut Ix2 prints or splendid enlargements. They're just what you need for college picture taking. PRICES $10 TO $25 FOISTER'S Chapel Hill, N. C. prejudice handicaps talented co-eds on this campus. But we do not believe that the present "houseful of girls" will allow scheming males to use them as dumb tools. Indeed, the recent co-ed edition of this paper ex pressed a-strength which defies exploitation. The co-ed dormitory should certainly be a factor as import ant in politics as Swain Hall. Surely the Carolina co-eds, all of whom have advanced aca demic standing as juniors or seniors and an intuitive knowl edge of -good men, can overcome their lack of quantity by care ful attention toquality of suf ffrage. Several days remain for., the thorough study of candidates. Never before has so much pub licity been given politics here. Co-eds will have the same op portunities to vote as men stu dents ; and they will be expected to vote more intelligently as a whole. Many self-righteous males declare and swear that "girls' opinions are determined by gossip or .the handsomeness of the candidates." ; At any rate, co-eds will have a chance to show their interest in Carolina politics and the writer predicts a note worthy result. . . . The success with which deceit ful canvassing meets in the co ed dormitory will decide wheth er feminine voters are pawns or power. .

Accepting no hearsay, they have smoked out the facts. They have learned that the choicest .Turkish and Domestic to baccos grown are rolled into Camels, that here is the incomparable blend ing for goodness, that Camels simply never tire the taste. Camel is the cigarette that never fails to please the modern age. Re gardless of how often you want the comfort of a smoke, of how steadily you light one after another, Camel will never fail you, never give you any but the finest thrill of smoking pleasure. This is why Camel's popu larity, by far the largest in the modem world, keeps overwhelmingly in the lead. As modern taste becomes more insistent upon choice tobaccos, in- v creasing millions discover Camel's in comparable mildness, smoothness and mellowness. ' If you want the cigarette that's good to live with from morn, to mid night, the one that is the choice of the ' modern age, "Have a Camel!" , R, J, REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, WINSTON. SALEM.
