Friday, October 21, 1932 The Campus Voice Organized last year when the need for immediate crystaliza lion of student opinion became mandatory in the interest of good student government, the Union Forum stepped into a long vacated niche arid began its agi tation for the recognition of the legislative wishes of each mem ber of the . student body. This year, under the leadership of E C. Daniel, vice-president of the student body, the Forum begins its second year of service to the campus in convening for the purpose of centralizing student opinion and making recommen dations to the Graham Memo rial board of directors and other bodies active in the final legis lation of campus affairs. Ex-President Albright, the new manager of Graham Memo rial and the leading spirit in the Forum movement of last year remains with the body , in the capacity of occasional adviser in matters pertaining to the maintenance of the Memorial Through the manager and the Forum's representatives on the board of directors, programs wil be planned for the building, ad ditional games "Obtained, and various business affairs handle all indirectly through the stu dent body, which elects its Forum members. The Forum is in a position to occupy an important role in the stimulation of student interest in campus government and gen eral affairs. May it enjoy its rapidly mounting prestige in an unpartisan manner conducive to the regeneration of student ini tiative. D.C.S. The Pulpiteers Train Their Guns Much to be regretted is the fact that a large proportion of the ministers of our state con tinue to view this campus as an incubator for scepticism in re ligious philosophy. While there are many exceptions to this plat itude, yet it is all to generally subscribed to by the brethren o the holly orders. Although Carolina is justly proud of her reputation as a cen ter of liberalism, she can hardly assent to a theory which would brand her as a harbor for athe ism and extreme radicalism. It is inconceivable that her stu dent body, representing the av erage type of young manhood and womanhood of the country, could constitute such a menace to society as these men have from time to time implied. Having contributed to it many of its most intelligent' and zeal ous crusaders, this institution remains the butt of obloquies of the most petulant and desecrat ing sort, on the part of this hieratic body. Just what prompts this attitude, remains an enigma. In the face of these maledic tions which have ' been hurled against her, the University has not steered athwart of her path way to revenge herself, but .has peacefully pursued her course, according to- the rules laid down by that great preacher and teacher whom they purport to follow, when he said: "Seek ye the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free." Just what is to be gained for them by the jealousy with which hey guard their doctrines and principles against the scrutiny cf an analysis, is not known, but it seems to imply that they arc thus actuated by a fear that these doctrines will be found acking in the great fundamental truths which lie at the bottom of the universe, thus diminish ing their own prestige. This University does not seek to destroy the principles which have been ordained, but to ana- yse them, eliminating those that are unsound, and perpetu ating those that have founda tion, to light men on their path ways; the sooner our ecclesias tical brethren acclimate them selves to this fact, the better it will be for them, for the Uni versity, and for the cause for which they labor. W.A.S Nearing the Millenium All indications point to a rec ord Socialist vote this fall." On the basis of the first two million votes returned in the Literary Digest's presidential poll, Nor man Thomas' total had reached 105,000. With the expectation that forty million ballots will be cast in the November elections, the Socialist candidate bids fair to poll close to three million votes. One of the most astonishing facts which manifests itself in our political history and organ ization is the weakness of anv collectivist movement. When one realizes, however, the pecu liar conditions to which such a movement is subjected, it then seems only natural that this condition has existed for such a long time. In the first place, tnere is the influence ot our pioneer heritage, with its em phasis upon individual initiative and self-reliance. Then there are the inherent weaknesses of our labor unions, their pitifully small membership, their lack of strong, constructive leadership, and the problem of Negror mem bership; also there is the tre mendous influence of Samuel Gompers upon Labor's insistant non-partisan political stand. Another factor of great im portance is the political system itself which, in its inflexibility, makes the position of a third party a precarious one. Like wise, the huge, million-dollar campaign chests make it quite impossible for a party composed of labor, for labor, fighting special privileges to raise i campaign fund. We see, therefore, many al most insuperable obstacles to be overcome if a party such as the Socialist is to become a potent factor in national politics. That the party of Norman Thomas is assuming that status is fast be coming realized., The repercus sions of the economic depression have been both intensive and SPEAKING the CAMPUS MIND No Martyrs, Our Socialists I wish to call your attention to an omission of fact in your news item in the Tuesday issue of The Daily Tar Heel concerning the prohibition of the wearing of political badges by assistants in the library. The truth of the matter appears to be that there would have been no such prohibition, had. the baderes involved been other than those of the Social ist party. The truth of this assertion and the evasiveness of the explanatory state ment later given out by the library authorities can be judged by making a comparison of the two orders is sued. The first (both appeared over the initials W. P. K., apparently W. P. Kellam, head of the circulation de partment) read as follows: "You may be a Socialist, but do not display your badges here." Some one must nave realized that this sort of verboten was acking m finesse, because after it had been up a few hours this notice was replaced by one which read: "Please do not display badges of any poli tical party while on duty m the li brary." The pretension the neutral ity made by the officials can well be considered in the light of these two orders. So-called "general orders" of this nature appear most frequently when Socialistic activities occur. Prior to the issuance of this library order, there had, fortunately, been only one such incident on this campus, namely, the ukase by R. B. House, the execu tive secretary of the University, ex cluding Socialist ballot petition from the Y. M. C. A. The Socialists on the campus are, I am sure, trying to "avoid anything like -a persecution complex. In gen eral they have enjoyed equal privil eges with other political groups. They prefer to bid for the intelligence of the University student rather than to capitalize a cheap martyrdom. It is above the dignity of a great university to stoop to such prussian izing tactics and to display a petti ness of spirit which one would hardly expect from the smallest bored prep school.

Labor is shedding its coat of conservation; the in terest in national planning is a steadily growing force; the strength of the Socialist party is in great measure due to the huge increase in student inter est in the movement. It seems fairly likely that So cialism and Collectivism in America in the next decade will become as much of a power as it is in most European coun tries. V.J.L.
