Candidates For Student Body
Presidency Offer Platforms
By Haywood Weeks
To the Student Body of the,
University of North Carolina :
Because I intend to execute
all campaign promises made to
the Student Body, they can be
listed simply and briefly.
1. Running independently at
the request of students who are
interested in the welfare of stu
dent government at the Univer
sity and wlio wish to have the
opportunity of selecting their, of
ficers, I am bound by no political
ties.
2. Having served for a year
as secretary of the Student Coun
cil, I feel that I am qualified to
carry on the functions of that
office, which only experience
teaches, and in the interest of
the Student Body, I shall, if
elected, have the Engineering
School represented on the Coun
cil so that it will be truly repre
sentative of the Student Body, in
which it now fails.
3. If I should be elected, my
highest aims shall be to serve the
University as a whole to execute
the will of the Student Body.
4. Feeling the seriousness of
the matter of students graduat
ing from the University and be
ing unable to find employment, I
shall, if elected, establish a
Placement Bureau, the purpose
of which shall be to find perman
ent employment for graduates
and undergraduates of the Uni
versity. ,
5. Finally, if elected, I prom
ise to follow the dictates of my
conscience and the will of the
Student Body in shaping any
further policies that may fall to
the President of the Student
Body.

NO POLITICAL LETTERS
For four years the Tar Heel has declined to print political
advertisements in the form ofopen forum letters on the
grounds that revenue derived from such advertisements when
paid for reducessthe cost of publishing the paper, as well
as the fact that letters written on behalf of candidates dur
, ing years of great contest would occupy more space than the
paper affords. In this we are backed in precedent by all of
the college dailies in North America.
The only exception to this is a skeleton, outline of policies
allowed the candidates for the presidency of the student
. body. ,, VV: -:'-V -'.' -' ."' '

By Hamilton Hobgood
My platform as a candidate
for president of the Student
Body of the University of
North Carolina is as follows:
1. A reduction in the cost of
Student Government; with no re
duction in its quality, by the
lowering of various student fees.
2. To revise the honor, system
by separating the two distinct
problems of cheating and drink
ing, thereby handling each case
on its individual merits.
3. To inquire widely in all
sections of the campus to deter
mine student opinion before any
changes in Student Government
would be made.
4. To successfully operate the
Student Forum so as to bring
forth valid student opinion on
all controversial subjects of cam
pus interest.
5. To work consistently and
earnestly for optional attend
ance upon classes.
6. To indorse reciprocity be
tween athletic opponents away
from home in all athletic con
tests. 7. To attempt to cause the
state to understand and sympa
thize with' the program of the
University and its Student Body
by. radio programs and the fair
and dignified conduct of activi
ties on this campus.
8. To strive for the perpetua
tion of the Carolina ideal so that
any qualified man may have an
opportunity to rise in ' Student
Activities regardless of ; social
class or affiliations.
9. I "hereby pledge myself on
my honor to see that all deci
sions and actions of the Student
Council, provided I should be
successful in being named to this
office, 'would represent the voice
and the desires of the Student
Body.
