Merrell Jim Harris Thursday, January 24, 1929 pa!ragraphics 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 , hearsing Madame Butterfly under available cherry tree.

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. - ' - - 73 : : . ' really doesn't count.

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 Heel , team will uphold the negative 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 bate Council further announces that 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 tensive schedule, officials of the De bate Council have designated Febru ary 4 . as the date for choosing the Ifwo teams who will debate on the hy dro-electric power question.
