Publicity
Without Censorship "
The present faculty and student
administrations have been charac
terized by a sane attitude regarding
suppression of unfavorable statistics
and news matter. Frequently in the
past the faculty and student council
authorities have rigorously censored
i i ! i
all announcements pertaining to
cases of student and faculty disci
pline and violations of University
regulations. At present the great
majority of colleges and universities
suppress all publicity except that
which is favorable and even then
statistics and facts are doctored in
such a manner that they appear in
the most favorable light possible.
Through the News Bureau, and the
Tab Heel a large amount of Univer
sity news matter is cleared that is
not in the least favorable. In fact,
much of its is undesirable If ronj thei

OFFERS CONGRATULATIONS
The Editor of the far Heel:
"Sometimes,in the history of the
race," says Vida Scudder, "a new in
tuition appears. When this happens
it puts to flight the wrangling of
generations. Power to create such an
intuition is the final test of any
theory."
A new intuition was born to this col
lege generation here, April 27th.
Your editorial "Do We Have a Per
fect Student Government?" was its
final birth throe. Congratulations on
the happy delivery.
From yours: "The trouble is that
the present system (of student govern
ment) .... is not working. Wholesale
cheating is not rare on examinations
here. . . . The honor system has broken
down in so far as examinations and
quizzes are concerned. Alarge majority
of the student body has been aware
of this fact for some time. ...In the
past three years there is only one case
on record in which a student at the
University has reported a fellow stu
dent for cheating." ' One hundred and
fifty cases of cheating actually tried
by Executive Committee and Student
Council, you estimate, all save one
reported by the Faculty. The number
of cases detected by the students is so
large, you think, that an accurate est
imate would appear to the outsider in-
crediMyhigh. . (Why to the outsider
only?)
And then: "Nothing is to be gained
by ignoring the present conditions and
distorting the facts by insincere praise
of the local student government" (By
which you mean, I take it, the system;
not the government, which has won
high praise). "If a solution is to be
found for the student government pro
blem here, the facts must be faced
frankly."
So long as our students can get
that out no matter how much it hurts,
and so long as their editorial lungs
can , give it the air, there's hope and
plenty of it.
Very truly yours,
JOHN M. BOOKER.

grees of guilt. He is either guilty
or not guilty as the case may be.
From the very nature of the thing
the purpose will be to tear down
the weaklings and cast them aside
rather than to help them to overcome
their weaknesses. Dr. Booker in his
indignation at what he calls judicial
injustice seems to forget that a man
needs to be developed along a moral
line as well as along lines of literary
knowledge. An institution of higher
learning, which we thought this to
be, aims at making men rather than
tearing them down. We np4 sign

that will make men rather than one

GIVE
US A UNIVERSITY THAT
WILL MAKE MEN
To the Editor of The Tar Heel:
I
If it is not asking too much,
would like to ask for a little space
in" your columns again.
, As everyone will recall, there is
and has been much discussion on the
campus recently about a Bi-cameral
system of student government. I am
very glad to say that the discussion
has brought a few men to thinking
about their form of government, but
there are some whom I am afraid
have not thought the thing through
as clearly as they might for the best
interest to the campus. I hope that
I will be pardoned for what follows
this statement. .It may seem that I
feel that only those who see the sit
uation as I do have the gift of clear
thought. I do not mean this at all
I only want to state a few things
which I have seen in case they might
be helpful to some one.
The Bi-cameral system, or the
Booker Plan, has several defects. In
the first place, it is attempting to pu
a detailed form of government on the
students. At present we do as we
please within a certain scope with
little interference. The proposed
plan would in a considerable degree
dictate in isolated and detailed inci
dents. For instance, if the legislative
body were to see fit, it could say
that no musical instrument could be
played on the campus except in cer
tain halls set aside for that purpose
and in these halls only at a definitely
set time. Again it might say that any
man who was seen taking a drink of
whiskey or any other form of bever
age of that nature was an intended
drunkard and must be shipped.
In the second place,, the Judicia
body will not be like the presen
Student Council. There is no pro
vision in the plan f,or any form o
equity which gives life to legal pro
eeedmgs. There is no constitution
to define the duties of the court and
all it can do is inforce the laws
which are passed by the legislative
branch. There will be na room for
a weighing of justice according to
the nature of the offense. If a man
To the Edlteri
It is quit evident that some of the
students who have written for the
Tar Heel concerning the proposed
change in, student government are
either confused about the subject, or
else they are intentionally misrepre
senting to the student body that
there is a conflict between the pro
posed plan and our present honor
system.
If they are confused they should
become better acquainted with the
bill before they advise anyone else
concerning it. If this is not the
case, then it is clear that they expect
to frighten the students away from
the real issues by telling them that
a more adequate representation, more
participation, and a clearer under-
tanding of our government defeats
the honor system.
Instead of defeating the purpose of
he honor system, the proposed plan
is the first step toward rebuilding it,
and this step certainly must be
taken. The work of the student coun
cil, as far as cheating is concerned,
is being done by the Executive Com
mittee, and if cheating keeps increas
ing our honor system is doomed. Out
of a wider participation there will
come a greater number who will feel
that they have a duty to uphold the
honor system. Our legislators could
also be used to help educate the stu
dents to the standard that they are
supposed to observe and live by. This
ask is at present left up to the Presi
dent of the Student Body, and he
attempts to give to the student in a
few minutes an education in student
conduct.

SELECTED A RIGHT NICE PLACE
The South Carolinians have caused
Andrew Jackson to be born again.
They have put up a granite monu
ment down on the Highway about
two miles from the McCamie cabin
in which the old man came into the
world and written on it, "Birthplace
of Andrew Jackson." The South
Carolinians are smart folks. They
have picked a nice place on top of a
hill, right close to the new road for
their birthplace, right where every
body can see it. This does pretty
well for our South Carolina neighbors
who heretofore have been content to
claim only that the old man was
born "in South Carolina," and being
able to point out no particular place.
Now they have selected a right nice
place, just as good as any that could
have been selected in South Carolina.
