The fact that a man is a good football player (imagine that), was a prominent high school student (and - that) , and has the right fraternities in back of him (and that), more than suffices to enable him to acquire this eminent and covet ed office, Gould, anything 3e more ridiculous? The situation would be bad enough if- the freshman class had need of president and of ¬ ficers, but the truth of the mat ter is that the men who are elected are mere figureheads and ;heir positions nonenities. . They accomplish practically nothing except to spend precious, money which could be used far more wisely in these days of frugality. Of course, the-election of these men brings honor and prestige to the fraternities which they represent a very doubtful hon or to say the least. , Xiet us once and for all abolish this example of collegiate idiocy.

Saturday, November 12, 1932 Just a Matter Of Coloring It was with a lack of economic foresight as. well as political dis crimination that, the Charlotte News published in its Wednes Hav's edition a man of the Unit ed States showing the results of the national election with- all Democratic, states in black, and those claimed by the Republi cans in white. Not only was this a considerable waste of printers ink, but more especial ly was it a stab at these Roose velt states tojnsinuate that they should be thus' blemished because of their pronounced decision at the polls Tuesday. , Had the editors of the News been - definitely 7 set upon their plan of printing the Democrat!-: cally-inclined states in colors, it would have been far more appro priate had they selected colors with some actual significance. They could have used the col ors of the rainbow to signify the calm - after the storm. Or in keeping with the beliefs of David Clark and L A. Tatum they might have distinguished Chap . el Hill by a large "Red" dot. And if the financial condition of the nation was jtaken into account, the entire forty-eight states might have been printed in red. But to - stain those states in black that had been instrumen tal in electing the next president of this great nation of ours was an insult, Mr. Editor of the Charlotte News, which requires an explanation. - Laugh Parade Once again the University, is about to witness that annual - farce of farces, the freshman election. Imagine, if you can, the ridiculousness of it. Fresh men, scarcely here two months, hardly knowing each jother, and, certainly not knowing and un - derstanding University ;f tradi - tions, are to meet and elect class officers. The fact that the cap tain of the freshman football team is often chosen as president of the class gives one a fair idea as to the discerning powers, at Here's a , Hand r . One of the most important de velopments in southern intercol legiate 'circles is the growing feeling of "friendship between Carolina and Duke. Two of the leading schools in the south, equal in size and: importance, and situated very near one another, the relation between the two schools has long been of great interest to many and doubtless will continue to be so. : - There was a time not long past when the Lux Libertas oh the Carolina seal was translated "to hell with Duke" and the student body did its best to carry out that slogan. There can be no denying that feeling ran very high and at times was a cause for genuine alarm. That period fortunately is rapidly giving way to one of mutual-admiration and respect that will eventually make relations between Duke z and Carolina a valuable part of the lives of both. The sharing, of educational, social,, and athletic phases of; college life "has tre mendous possibilities that : are greatly enhanced by: the close proximity of Durham to Chapel Hill. - - In the present order 4Df things labor would seem to be secluded and discussed in terms of mass production devoid of realization that American people still like something besides hard philoso phy. .What chance has individ ualism? self-expression? We no longer speak of freedom be cause we have -. lost it oppor tunity is lacking, burdened by the oppressive weight of gov ernment or economic organiza tion. Have we not a right to the conception in which our na tion was realized? Why is it that middle age and old age have such sure faith in their own wisdom and such doubt of the wisdom and capacity of the young? .They perpetrate all this mechanizing to make us strong er and happier asrhuman speci mens, but not as thinking indi viduals. How broad . a future does the American Adding Ma chine, hold, for its people? To what end is the creation of na tions headed but to broaden the scope of self-expression ideal ism if; you . like ? V People feel as well as think and it is difficult to distinguish between their feelings and what we call human intelligence. How ever, j human capacity far ex ceeds any form of book-keeping yet devised. " The ledger represented prohi bition as a financial success, but it was not. By the ledger the present depression was inter preted and evaluated , on paper. The taxes authorized by con gress should have balanced the budget. For the past three years the administration has placed its faith in the ledger what now? Faith in the people to give them inspiration would evoke the necessary effort to arouse human capacity. They can not attahr this enthusiasm unless they feel their welfare -the con cern of the government. This faith must be brought to them, conceived not as beggars stand ing in the breadline, but as indi viduals .who want nothing so much as an opportunity. Roosevelt here's- a hand! -F.A.N.... - . Settles It - If the plan which : represents t t- mnrt nf the student council and five hours discussion by the entire Tar Heel stair is to rep vQ Kt-otiH " of thinking of the n-rv,nT-vn-n7' then the two UJ. lUiUUii"" major parties need have no fear-ol running shy of numbskull politicians for I have not seen such a brain child given birth to since I have been out of the Boy Scouts. x - ; The causes of cheating . are pr6b ably three, namely: . , , "a.

As a mpans to honor societies. - TVia now nrnnnsal of the student council will eliminate these causes by doing just lhis: Replacing the cus tomary teacher with an elected police man, taking the false emphasis off the eta nil v reminding the student that he is on his honor and will be suspended if caught cheating, and taking the" false emphasis off the grade by. the -fact that he elected the Thus eliminating all the causes, one gathers that the system must be very nearly pertect, out tnat s not 'the half of it. It goes beyond Not onlv does it elimin ate the causes (as we see) , but it brings the student to tne realization yr iio - Toonnnsihilitv under an honor system by placing his responsibility m tne nanas 01 specmc iuwuucid the class (note: these memDers are .

Plans L Political prophets, particular ly those exponents of a -third narty movement, stated prior to the election that the combination of the Republican and Demo cratic . parties is inevitable. In the recent The Coming o; a Third Party, Paul H. Douglas, declares that .the Democratic party, will be merged with the Republicans in the near future in the light of their similarity of piatforms and programs. Such prophetic words can not well go unheeded. That a coali tion government, embodying the principles of both major parties and organizing their, techmcians under one banner," may result within the decade is foreseen by many desirious of -abandoning the frivolties of party ballyho anci concentrating political man power in the channel of ideal istic government. This program, or certain fundamental parts of it, has gained some impetus through the Hon. Newton D. Baker and such commentators as Stuart Chase. Whatever virtues may grow out of such a plan, it ds certain thatas such it would abolish forever the incident of the past eight months, where legislature and executive continually clash ed to dispel all hope of immed iate and whole-hearted effort to ward recovery.

Also "C-est Paree," a Vitaphone AcV and a "Strange as It Seems" NOW PLAYING The fast fading . era of bad feeling had its roots in the sud den transformation of little Trinity College into mighty Duke University. Carolina who for a century or more had been the monarch of the state in educa tion and athletics now found herself with an equal and has been long in accustoming herself to the change. During the pro cess of adapting herself to the new condition . many regrettable cnpmpnts. incidents, and atti tudes were engendereci - but that is a" cloud that is nearly passed and the radiant sun of accord and cooperation peeps forth to the great satisfaction of every sane and mature person on both campuses. Carolina and Duke may soon welcome the day when each will rejoice in the triumphs of the other and applaud warmly one another's teams in action even against their own. That is not far distant and it is dur duty to foster a mature and sportsman- like spirit that offers so much, and to work away from4 the sin ister possibilities of hostile riv alry. - It is superfluous to point out the merits of the schools, each is worthy of esteem in the eyes of'the other and is well on the way to enjoying it.

A& a kindly alma maternal monopoly, the laundry strikes me as being somewhat greedy, particularly since prices in at least four com mercial laundries I know are considerably lower than those here. 'Certainly, if there is an excuse for this, it is difficult to understand. .The expense of "doing up" shirts without starch should be lower than fixing them nicely, and the expense of de liveryquite large in cities is small here on account of the con centration of students in dormi tories and elsewhere; Of course, we must pay for the rare shirt ripping and button-grabbing machines installed in the local plant; but if rates continue at their present level, it would ap pear sensible to discard these two admirable but, really, un- Driblets : Now that the struggle is over, amidst the , carnage-on the field of battle is uncovered tid-bits of election humor that drift into the public eye after every- con flict for the presidency. , Staunch Democrats in a down- state village, took great pains to forward to.
