For the past two years the elections have been perfunc tory events, little more than mere formalities. Most of the major offices have been uncon tested, with the single candidate encountering no opposition. But this year at least two strong nominees are engaging in a des perate struggle for every impor tant Office, r ; There are at least two logical explanations of the lethargic at titude toward campus elections here in recent years.

But the most frequently advanced theory is that there, has not been a suffic ient number of prominent and capable men . to provide two or more really qualified candidates for each office. There is a modicum of truth in each of these explanations. Un doubtedly the existence of only one strong political machine has served to stifle opposition and prevent a few deserving men from becoming candidates. But in most cases it has been true that lack, of interest in student activities has resulted in the de velopment of only one strong contender for each of the big offices.

And we haven't found anybody yet who was fooled by the nomination speeches. 1 1 timi Virginia takes her honor system far more seriously 'and considers an infringement of it as a far more serious thing than we do. Admittedly our honor system is far from perfect; it is not cynicism and pessimism to frankly face the facts and say that it breaks down in manv cases. There is not a strong student conscious for our honor system; too many feel that it is a. thing wholly removed from them ; it is not a vital and moti vating influence in daily life; somehow it fails to impress the students as a reality. However, we feel that our present system is far better than faculty control ; we are not trying to sound the death note of the honor system. We need, not a new system, but a rejuv enation of the present one; we need vigorous and , vital student As soon as the government and that very worthy organiza tionthe W. C. T. U. prohibit prohibition polls the protectors of our health and morals will have carried to a logical conclu sion the great crusade which they have inflicted upon us. 4 It may be of interest to some to know that the W. C. T. U. has legislation drafted, to be pre sented at some future and op timal time, which will prohibit the cultivation, vsale, manufac ture, or use of tobacco. This seems laughable to every sane person, but reasonable men scoffed at the possibility of liquor prohibition in 1900. A determined and ruthless minor ity always has the breaks on a good natured and careless ma jority, however. A popular magazine adver tises "What the college man is wearing All the latest fiction." This needs no comment! " About the toughest luck that has come to any student here this year has been that which Complete List Of Nominees low it to be incumbered and At least the Chapel Hill post office rumpus has convinced lot of folks that University stu dents want to be punctual about something even if it isn't any thing more than getting their mail the same night that it arrives. The Department of Justice has sent circulars outlining op portunities in the Federal prison service to the leading colleges and universities in the country.

Keen interest has been evinced in every major extra-curricular ac tivity, especially the publica tions, and is was inevitable that at least two strong political alignments should be formed. We are especially interested in the contest for the executive! positions on the Tar Heel, of j course. Ana it nas Deen nigmy gratifying that two strong can didates have been developed for the editorship and several others for the managing editorship. We consider both of the nomi nees for the editorship to be well qualified for the position. On a daily college publication, however, we believe that there should be a definite division of the field of activity between the upperclassmen on, the staff who are to become candidates for the editorship and those who are to enter the competition for the managing editorship. Prospec tive candidates should have ex perience in both fields, that of writing columns and editorials, and that of writing headlines, reading copy and. other activi ties connected with the manag- imr editor's duties. But those who intend to compete for the editorship should specialize in the first field, while potential candidates for managing editor should perform the major por tion of their work in the latter We hope that within the next few years a definite division along these lines will take place on the Daily Tar Heel staff. But we are well satisfied with the present candidates for the two chief places on the Tar Heel and we are confident that the paper will be in capable hands next year. And the fact that all of the campus offices are being hotly contested this year indicates a healthy interest in worthwhile extra-curricular ac tivities at the University. leadership that will influent1 f Gr?y aiu o iiau. lie uuugi.ii t uuun. for a sophomore course. It was stolen from him a few days after the opening of the course. The course was dropped and he then re-registered for it this spring. Upon purchasing a text book a few days ago he discovered that it was the one stolen from him the quarter before, but the big jolt came when ,he discovered that they weren't using the book any more. student opinion and student ac tion; leadership is the crying need. The secret of the success of the Virginia honor system lies a man is on his honor not to cheat, steal, or lie and to conduct himself as a gentleman at all times, just as we are. But that is as far as it goes, and Virginia will not al- overloaded as ours is. As an example of , overloading, the en forcement of the inter-fraternity rushing rules for the fall quarter was made a matter of honor ; gambling has at times been considered a breach of hon or. And so the list goes, until the system becomes top heavy and may crumble. In the election of the new stu dent body president we hope that a vigorous leader will be chosen who will give new life to the honor system and pro mote a more vital and more in fluential student government. We need a man intensely inter ested in student government who can swing great influence in the student body and who by his personality and leadership can impress the new and old students alike with a living,! breathing, growing student gov ernment.

(Read Isaiah 40:1-8) Memory verse: "Every valley shall be exalted." (Isaiah 40 :4) . Meditation : Life is a cross country journey. It lies over valley and hill. Isaiah says that every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be made low. The order of the phrases may indicate that val leys furnish the greatest prob lems in spiritual engineering. The mountains do not present so much difficulty. Men are not much intimidated by mountains. There is a challenge in the mountains ; that stirs ) , one's spirit. It is the valleys that discourage. - If we can only get our problem or difficulty into such shape that it will challenge us, as a mountain challenges, we can usually handle it. To con quer a valley, exalt it, make a hill out of it, and then climb the hill. Prayer : O Thou, through whom we are more than con querors, help us to face this day without fear. May every difficulty that arises be a sum mons to our spirits to disclose the vast divine resources that thou hast put within us. To him that overcometh thou dost give the crown of life. Amen.
