At the meeting- of the Univer sity board of trustees in Raleigh Tuesday it was evident that sen timent had not crystallized on the choice of a successor to President Chase. The sugges tion was frequently advanced that the matter should be ap proached with great caution and much deliberation. We are in hearty accord with the attitude of the trustees. It is vitally important to the fu ture progress of the University, and to some extent of the entire state, that the most competent man be selected for the presi dency. Qualifications of the men under consideration should be fully determined. We believe that the trustees will consider student opinion to some extent in arriving at a de cision. In order to assist them in ascertaining the opinion of the student body, we are con ducting a straw vote through the Tar Heel on the most logical meji for the presidency. A bal lot appears on the front page of this morning's edition, and it will be repeated in the Friday, Saturday and Sunday issues. These ballots are to be filled out and dropped in the ballot box in the lobby of the Y.M.C.A. We request that each student refrain from voting more than once. The straw vote is con ducted in order to determine the opinion of the majority of the student body on the most desir able man for the presidency from a student point of view, and this cannot be accomplished if the ballot box is "stuffed." Each ballot must be signed by the name of the voter; otherwise the vote will not be counted. The re sults will be announced in next Tuesday's issue of the Tar Heel. During the past few days the chief source of ammunition for campus "bull-sessions" has been speculation upon the most likely successor to President Chase. The straw vote will give the "bullers" an opportunity to ex press an opinion in tangible form. tif ul at any cost, the part that! everybody sees, is the very first to be mutilated. Moreover, most of our woods are pine woods, and, although there are few trees statelier than pines we must remember that ' there is scarcely any landscape more monotonous than cut-over pine lands. Are we going to allow our network of fine roads to be come also a network of nine- stump wastes? That financial ebb which sometimes follows in the wake of abnormal development is now upon North Carolina. It is at such a time that a state needs all the tourists it can attract. Our state is fast getting the reputation of being a tourists' paradise, chiefly because of our fine roads and the beauty of the country, they traverse. If we allow our roadsides to be turned into wastes of sand and stumps what will become of our tourist trade? ' ' Of course we must utilize our timber resources, but this does not necissitate the desolation of our roadsides. We might well follow the example of Michigan, which has recently taken over a 200-foot strip on each side of portions of its state highways I leading through forested areas. Even such a narrow stand of forest alongside the highway is sufficient to conceal the un sightly results of lumbering operations which may take place beyond it. At any rate it is a matter which should inter est every person concerned with the "welfare and prosperity of our state. J. J. Doctors treating parrots down with this new ailment are handicapped.

Tar Heel Topics The "Spanish bull -fight" at the Episcopal church Tuesday night . must have been quite a bull-session.

Ratan Devi, who appears here tonight on the student entertain ment program, "portrays Indian music with a genuine India consciousness," according to ad vance" publicity. If the wording had been "India-rubber con science," what a whale of a dif ference it would have made in the size of the crowd! Readers' Opinions The seniors had E. C B. Erhinghaus, a candidate for governor in 1932, as the speaker at their last smoker. Now come the juniors with announcement that Albert Cox, also a candi date for the governorship, will speak at their smoker. Evi dently the campusv politicians are missing nochances of get ting pointers on how it's done by the experts. Pine Trees -And Hard Times It seems that the state of North Carolina is about to be come the newest battleground for the warfare between lumber interests and advocates of high way beautification. Whenever fine roads are built through forested or semi-forested dis tricts such a controversy invar ibly follows. Pennsylvania, New York, and Michigan are states that have recently terminated such disputes within their bor ders. Lumber concerns always watch with interest the laying of good roads across timbered regions. Then when the roads are finished they move in and begin to operate. The forests alongside the highway, being nearest the line of transporta tion) are naturally the first to be razed, and with such meth ods it is only a question of time until every highway traverses a strip of unsightly stump land. This is exactly what North Carolina is threatened with. We are a perfect example of a state whose new roads are ren deren twice beautiful by lead ing through the heart of splen did forests. It is one of our boasts, and it is one of the things that makes our state so attrac tive to people from other parts of the country. Beautiful wood lands have become rare in east ern -United States, so that to drive over our highways is an unusual as well as a happy ex perience; especially for visitors from the North. -'. But eveji now the sawmills are beginning to eat out a trail along either side of our road ways, so-that -the part' of the state which should be kept beau- BLAKE AND COLUMNIST GALLAND Editor the Daily Tar Heel: I would like, to express my thanks to you for the vast amount of free publicity you have given me through your Daily Tar Heel. I cannot under stand why you are devoting so much valuable space for free publicity. It could be so much better utilized for real news that your subscribers expect to get for their subscription fee. But, after considering it thoughtfully for a while, it comes to me eas ily. The Tar Heel once carried lots of real news, news that the student body and other subscrib ers appreciated reading, at least, the average intelligent stu dent and subscriber. But, taking in consideration that the Tar Heel has advanced from a tri-weekly to a daily pa per, it naturally necessitated an extraordinary editorial- staff. And, by reading the daily Tar Heel regularly, especially the ed itorial page where you find Mr. Harry Galland's writing under the head of "Pen Points," it is easily seen that the Tar Heel has disclosed one real genius, a real literary man, some call them in telligentsia. .His writings truly amplify his mental vocabulary. Few writers of his caliber have been found in the ' University student body in the last twenty years. I am sure that some of the biggest publications have al ready sent out scouts to land his signature to a contract with their publication. And, ere a couple of years roll around, we expect to hear his name men tioned along with other great literary writers, such as Menck en, Durant, and Bernard Shaw. JOHN D. BLAKE. STUDENT DICTATORSHIP! Editor the Daily Tar. Heel: All hail to the arrival of stu dent dictatorship over student ideas! (Would that we might say, "All hell to it") I have be come my brothers' intellectual keeper seems to be a new "Chris well - intentioned journalistic brethren. And the seemingly long-earned right for the Demos, to express itself now comes to be suppressed. Yesoath re sounding against woath the ill, demoniacal, infernal Demos of our student ?ody, as it is looked upon by our worthy new rulers, is wretchedly incapable of ideas in the first place; and then, holy gods and you too, 0 Allah, when it believes that its sense of jus tice gives birth to an idea, it is slapped in the face with the true, correct, unbiased views to offset "false and misleading rumors." The erstwhile intel lectual who so brilliantly poured out reason by, the columns for the benefit of the Southern Tex- ... v ' tile Bulletin now becomes the exalted patron of exploitation somewhat nearer home. (The man under coyer always con siders war a great game.) Now, the student body, so excellently shown the multiple means of supporting a glorious Daily Tar Heel (it seems Tar Hell) last spring, begins to see that the chief means was an indirect one, one which still takes money from the students' pockets; and this way is to let the students pay indirectly for spacious ad vertisements. They are so im portant that we fear the loss of one patron, and we might say whisperingly, the loss of one job on the staff even at the ex pense of freedom of the press. The fourth estate chooses the extreme right of the house ; with benevolence (and also selfish and condescending pride) it shrinks from the ghastly ap pearance of the general and more democratic views. In this way, it elevates itself to the one twenty-seven hundredth per centage of the student body and reckons itself the very top spot of its intellectual cream. (I hesitate to. call it cream for fear that it is still of a finer quality perhaps scum.) This is a part (the triumvirate thougn we believe it chiefly a one-man af fair and have certain doubts concerning the authentic sign ing of a certain article Saturday night) this is, then, IT which seeks more "manifest proof" for our ideas I suppose, since even there have been turned down many letters which only tended to express opinions just as the Tar Heel managers themselves have done. Perhaps, next, we shall meet on the campus some examples of a perfect intellectu al pedigree who shall choose to fine us a nickel or take away from us the right to speak for a week upon our having expressed certain ideas orally.. Down goes freedom of speech, then ; that of the press has already preceded it. We fear grave consequences. Still, we wish to exhort the Demos to a more courageous stand ; we wish to ask it to stand for itself. And we most earnest ly wish to ask the dictator to al low us a meager bit of freedom and mercy. BLANK IGNORANCE. The Campus 1 By Joe Jones Two weeks ago today a man boarded a late night train in Chicago, purchased a newspaper for a few minutes of reading be fore turning in, and then he had the thrill of his life; for there was the name of an old school mate of his in big headlines, first nacre, first column. The man was Charles Eichenhauer, an Illinois editor, and the name m tne neaalmes was tnat oi Harry W. Chase. When Editor Eichenhauer had subsided from the excite ment of learning that Dr. Chase had been chosen to be the new president of the University of Illinois he began to think about their old days together at Dart mouth. His reminiscences on the subject are intensely inter esting in that they afford a very human glimpse of . t)r. Chase when he was a college sopho more. Mr. Eichenhauer said : "In the fall of 1901 can it really be that long ago I, as an uncertain, doubtful and dis pirited freshman, was assigned to my room in one of the coun try's most historic eastern col lege halls. I had been taught to beware of sophomores because they were the common enemy of freshmen. When the homesick ness was becoming -acute' there was a figure at theopen door. It was that of a tall, spare youth with a particularly; classical cut to his countenance. There was something friendly ; about the newcomer who seemed some what more serious than the jolly roistering, returning- students who were going up and down the dormitory corridor. " 'How ah you, freshman?' he asked, his accent betraying his New England ancestry. " 'I'm a sophomoah,' he added. Here was someone to be dreaded! "But he added, 'I live right around the cohnah. Come in to see me.' "Here was a pretty whole some sort of a fellow after all. A sophomore with a heart for Young People's Social The Young People's Service League gave -a very entertain ing social last Tuesday night in the social rooms of the parish house. The program was va ried, consisting of fancy dances, vocal selections, and games. ww ti t 'ine gooiy ciotnes ' prize was won by Garland McPherson and Penelope Alexander. Carl Griggs rendered a few vocal selections. after which he and Louise Thacker gave a number of fancy dances.- Jack Wardlaw and Frank Zappa supplied the musi cal atmosphere. a. homesick freshman ! "And so the two Harry Chase and I, lived almost side by side just around the corner for the entire year. Every change of class period meant passing each other-in the hall. There were the usual courtesies. Soon there came the dormitory horseplay and initiations, the- dormitory 'chin' and the dormitory . ban quet. The sophomore was there and so was the freshman. In time there came short visits in the room of either one or the other. "Dismiss the freshman, for he is of no concern in this story, but watch carefully the sophomore. "There wras not much to dis tinguish this sophomore from all the rest of his sophomoric tribe so far as interest in college af fairs was concerned or leader ship in campus activities. To the crowd that seeks distinction in, the by-products rather than the essentials of college interest there was little to attract at tention to this tall youth who seemed to be growing taller and whose countenance seemed to be developing a more thoughtful aspect from year to year. He was not the type who chased the rainbow of college political honor, who was loudest at all student gatherings, who thought that the value of a college edu cation varied directly with the number of wild escapades that were part of his experience. He believed that a college educa tion was primarily offered to a youth to develop every part of his being, to make of him a thoroughly rounded man who would know how to live as well as how to make a living or how to get by. He was studious and thorough, a reading, thinking college youth, and yet, withal, a human and companionable fel low." And so we have the picture of President Chase as a college boy. , In finishing his story Mr. Eichenhauer told something of the brilliant career of Dr. Chase during the 27 years that have passed since they last bade each other good-bye, saying, among other things: w'He completely remade a big southern univer sity, and gave it' a fame as an educational center that was nationwide."
