LEND A HAND
Some two weeks ago the Tar Heel
carried a newsstory announcing the
details of a survey that is being con
ducted by the Y. If. C. A. to determine
the cost of an education at the Uni
versity. It was pointed out ,in the
news article that several departments
of the institution are desirous of re
ceiving this information to use in de
termining policies of the various di
visions of the University.
Along with the announcement a list
of the questions asked treating the
information desired was published. It
has been called to the attention of the
Tar Heel that the students have been
slow in responding to this request for
information. It seems needlessly
puerile to point out here that the mat
ter of filling in the blank and drop
ping it in the box in the lobby of the
Y. M. C. A. constitutes a matter of
little trouble and inconvenience. And
it is necessary that the University
have first-hand information concern
ing the budget of . the students.
No student need hestitate in sub
mitting his personal data on ' these
questions with his name attached to
. the report for fear of his confidence
being violated. Those in charge of the
survey wish it expressly understood
that the information given will be
treated as being strictly confidential.
The Tar Heel joins with the Y. 21.
C. A. authorities in urging that the
students lend a hand in - this impor
tant survey by securing a blank and
answering the questions as soon as
possible.
WE THINK YOU ARE MISTAKEN
Elsewhere in the columns of this
issue of the Tab Heel will be found j
an open forum letter from W. M.
Cartwright of Wilmington, in which
the author of the communication
states that .he believes this publica
tion is sadly erring in attempting to
promote, interest on the campus in
national politics.
The writer of the letter states that
he thinks we have traditions and prac
tices which should be kept unsullied
and unbroken if peace, harmony and
healthy appropriations are to . come
with the same even tenor and unbrok
en regularity. It is to be everlasting
ly hoped that the traditions and prac
tices of the University of North Caro
lina of fair play, search for truth
and knowledge uncolored by sectional
and partisan bias, and the unquench-
aDje desire for information, will never
be hampered or halted.
A week ago the Tar Heel endeavor
ed to clarify the situation by setting
forth its objective and purpose in
sponsoring a movement to inform the
campus and to interest the students
in national politics. "The Tar Heel
espouses the cause of no, presidential
candidate, nor does it champion the
bllowers of any individual aspiring
or mentioned for the Presidency," we
stated last Week. Mr. Cartwright be-
ieves that there is danger and im
pending woe to those who would
bring Republicans to the University
to speak before an audience of the
student' body. Such twaddle smacks
of childish fears and bugaboos and
goblins. The average student and cit
izen of this state has long since lean
ed that the Republican citizen con
forms to the norm with the same.de
gree of consistency of the Democrat
he " eats, sleeps, seeks entertainment
and generally thinks along the same
prosaic line of thought. .
This is not to be construed that
this publication assumes the role of
defending Republicans and the party
in general. It is accepted that they
need no defense.
ine tar heel is conscious ana
keenly appreciative of the unwritten,
seldom spoken, tacit understanding
between the students and administra
tive officials of the University. The
degree of freedom granted by the of
ficials and exercised by the students
of this institution in purusing infor
mation and light is constantly in dan
ger ot being encroached upon and
abused through carelessness and over
zealousness on the part of certain in
dividuals. It is our business to guard
closely against this.
In sponsoring a movement to create
interest in national affairs, especially
politics, the Tar Heel believes that
it is in keeping with its policy to not
violate the privileges and - liberty
granted; and, moreover, at the same
time the policy of the University of
lending an ear and consideration to
both sides of the case is symbolized
in- the program undertaken by the
student newspaper.
OPEN FORUM
PUTTING ANY KIND OF IDEAS
IN THEIR HEADS
Editor of Tar Heel:
The move made by your paper to
get the the University students mixed
up in politics, is causing a lot of dis
cussion in this section of the state and
most of it is not favorable. As I
understand it you plan to bring speak
ers to the University and let them
put any kind of ideas they want in
the boys' heads. This is a bad mis
take on youcpart as I shall attempt
to explain.
, North Carolina has always been a
Democrat state and the University is
a state supported school. This means
your school gets its money from Dem
ocrat tax payers and from a Dem
ocrat legislature. Now you are plan
ning to bring Republican as well as
Democrat speakers to the University
and give them an equal chance to
speak for their candidates. I believe
in fair play but this is a different
matter. The Republicans have been
trying hard for a long time to. break
in this, state and destroy, the Dem
ocrat government and the University
is no place to give them an opening.
All the young men at your school
are the voters of the future. North
Carolina has always been part of the
solid south and that is a tradition
it should not depart from. I am afraid
that your idea of welcoming Repub
lican speakers is a mistake and will
antagonize some men who might oth
erwise wish their sons to go to the
University. .

The latest selection of campus cele
brities is to be the choice of the best-
dressed man at Carolina. The only
point of interest in such a selection
will probably be the ardent competi
tion of Stetson "D," Jack Lipman, and
Pritchard and Patterson .for the ad
vertising honor of having dressed this
fabulous creature of fashion. Wouldn't
it be simpler just to affect a compro
mise among the three and let the ad
vertisement of our best-dressed gen
tleman read as follows:
Suit by Stetson "D"
Collar and tie by Lipman ,
B.V.D.'s by Pritchard-Patterson
Idea by Carolina Theatre.
, Old King Humor
The Yackety Yack .comes out with
another plea for suggested names
for the Beauty Section and the Humor
Section. If the jokes are to be as
ancient as they usually are, perhaps
the most appropriate name would be
"Whiskered Wheezes."
A Little Superstition
Last year the fate of the Carolina
basketball team in the championship
tourney was declared to have depend
ed upon one lone -bent hairpin. This
year it is not even superstition to say
that the fortune of the White Phan
toms was bound up in two twisted
ankles, for had not Dodderer and Pur
ser been injured the, whole sad story
might have been vastly different.
Campus Comment
(Being stray bits of very personal
social gossip picked ui here and
there..
Robert Mauney is being congratu
lated by his friends upon winning the
Carolina Theatre prize for the best
essay on love. "Experience is an able
teacher," laughingly declare those who
know the handsome young law stu
dent intimately.
Trackman Galen Elliott will be glad
to show his new medals to all inter
ested parties if they will call at his
room on the third floor of the Y. M
C. A. These two are numbers 36
and 37 in an extensive collection.

Ever-Present Romance.
State College ha3 now added to its
curriculum a course in the Romance
of Chemistry. That should prove a
very satisfactory course if only the
few State co-eds are attractive enough
to furnish the Romance!
Danger Ahead
John Erskine, that versatile profes
sor, musician, author, and creator of
the modern Helen of Troy, lectures
tomorrow in Geensboro. If all the
girls at N.C.C.W. and G.C. attend his
lecture and learn all the wiles prac
ticed by the charming Helen in the
details of her private life, how will
any mere mortal man be able to with
stand them? Paris and Agamemnon
were but pawns in the hands of the
historic Helen. How will we fare at
the hands of those females who can
now combine the arts of Helen with
the already powerful attractions of
the modern girl?
An Editorial Policy?
The latest news from the Play
maker tour is to the effect that Tom
Johnson, managing editor of the Tar
Heel and stage manager of the Play
makers, had the misfortune to be
thrown from the top of the Playmaker
bus into a neighboring corn field; but
whether this has anything to do with
the editorial policy of the Tar Heel
we do not know.
