At the senior, class meeting Mon
day night President CarrNnade the
following announcement : "Mac Gray
will now talk for a few minutes on
, the grass and shrubbery." So that's
what wears out paths and bare spots
about the campus,!
With the revisions of its constitu
tion the Di Senate proclaims that
even such a venerable organization
as it is can join in the modern march
of progress whatever that is.
The possible advent of 4 daily
Tar Heel will ' bring one compensa
tion for the, daily routine of classes.
To compensate for this, however,
the seniors voted to plant cherry
trees along campus walks as a class
memorial. And nodoubt within a
few years our fair coeds will be fe

Elections '
State and Student .
One of the Jbills to come before this
session of the North Carolina legis
lative provides for a uniform secret
: ballot system for all elections held in
this state. At last our fathers in
xthe legislature are turning their se
rious attention to a reform which we
of the younger generation have al
ready put, into effect in all of our
. student elections at the University.
The Australian ballot system,
which give3 every voter the opportun
ity of casting his personal vote as he,
sees fit without interference or in-
fluence exerted by those who may be
about the polls, is undoubtedly su
perior to the present system used in
North Carolina. Now, when a citi
zen goes to the poll to cast his ballot,
he is accosted by "workers" for va
rious parties arid 'interests; he is
promised, cajoled and even threaten
ed i the -officials themselves exert un
due pressure upon the voter.
If the proposed reform before the
leislatureis adopted, - it will mean
fairer elections and more .satisfac
tory results. The secret voting in
use at the University has " proved
highly effective in all student elec
tions and is approvedby the student
body. We are now , looking to the
legislators of North' Carolina to take
that forward step for the entire state
which we -students have taken at the
Universiy. - ' -

wiiitii was uegun aoout , tnree weeKs
ago. The discussion will begin at
7:30. The program of the meeting i
will be ! somewhat different from
what ft usually, is, as there' will be
a general discussion among the mem
bers of the class instead of . the usual
address by a faculty member.' In
consideration of the. nearness of the
try-outs for the next two debates such
a discussion, should be very valuable
to those who are expecting to try
for places on either of. the two teams
which are to be selected. In all
probability this general discussion will
result in . tne elimination of certain
errors regarding the- nature and
scope of the . question. Regardless of
the nature-, of the question to be 'de
bated there, is always room' for mis
interpretation:
The executive secretary of the "De
bate Council announces that the date
for the try-outs for the two debates
on the hydro-electric power questior
has been definitely set as Monday,
February 4. The teams will be picked
as usual in 201 Murphey. At this
time a team of three men will, be
chosen to debate with"Marauette Uni
versity at Chapef Hill on the night of
February 18. In this contest the; Tar

side of the question. ... Another team
consisting of two men will be chosen
sX the same time which will uphold
the affirmative side of the question in
forensic combat with the University
of the South' at Sewanee, Tennessee.
.The executive secretary of the De

the University of North Carolina will
engage the University of Texas in
debate at Chapel Hill on the, night of
JVlarcn z.
In order to complete this rather ex
