The "Why"
Cabinets
When the new administration of the Univer
sity Y. M. C. A. goes into power, it will find itself
faced with a particularly curious and discrim
inating audience in the form of a critical cam
pus. It will have the choice of two alternatives:
to continue under the present policies and remain
a comparatively isolated organization or to re
vise its program and standards and become a
definitely essential and integrated unit of cam
pus activity. .
That one hundred freshmen throng to the first
meeting of the Y. M. C. As Freshman Friend
ship council and that, of this hundred, a scarce
ten or twenty remain at the year's end, are in
themselves facts of ,only fleeting importance. But
it is a matter worthy of careful consideration
when that original number decimates itself in
a year's period because the council, as a body,
lacks a functional object that js potent enough
to hold the freshmen together. New leaders
try their turn at advising the group but each and
every one fails to keep intact a spirited and nur
poseful organization; new duties are placed on
the council but it still does not respond as a uni
fied group.
The trouble lies in the psychological effect of
the Y. M. C. As present attitude and purposes
and in the lack of definite motives integrally
coordinated to Carolina student life. The organ
ization should not present itself as a teacher of
the standards of Jesus Christ by trying vainly
to get groups together to study His life or pur
poses, but should set itself up as a common
medium for student expression embracing the
nonor system as a subject and an end, individual
and collective moral righteousness as an attain
able ideal and inevitable reality, brotherhood
as an essential and wholesome factor, of student
life.. It should forget that young men should
be Christians in the strict sense of the word,
but should emphasize that they be inquisitive,
clear-minded, wholesome individuals with an un
derstanding of what it is all about and not what
it should be.
The Y. M. C. A. is composed of a bunch of Lord
Fauntleroys in the eyes of the campus because
it doesnt offer what ordinary, yoke-free college
men seek to find. Not until its officers and ad
ministrators realize that everyday problems of
personal and national interest are more impor
tant to the college students than Christian de
velopment tnrougn two-flights-overhead sermons
will the Y. M. C. A. attain that campus position
which it rightfully should own. P.G.H.
Ain't . . :
It Wonderful" ;
April 18 may be only a spring day but it is
one of the hottest days politically the campus
will see this year. Today candidates for campus
positions will be voted on; and, as far as the
general campus is concerned, there wiH be a
sigh of relief when five o'clock closes the bal
loting. '
By various campus indications the student
bodyhas as usual picked up a lively interest in
this life-and-death meet. Every year feeling
runs high over the same sort of thing, and every
year when it is all over there is the usual mur
mur of dissent that next year there won't be
all this hoo-rah. But next year there will be
Co-ed Athletics
Can Go Ahead
In a by-lined newsstory of about two inches,
Margaret McCauley has urged the co-eds to get
themselves out for tennis practice on Thursday.
The coach, the balls, and the courts are being
furnished. Co-ed athletics have been well-organ
ized this year, and it is their hope to interrupt
a few of April's showers with a continuance of
the instruction they received in tennis during the
fall quarter.
As long as co-eds show interest in athletics,
they will maintain the interest of the University.
Athletics is something that binds them together
and makes them appear more as an organized
part of the University. They have even been of
fered assistance by the University in construct
ing an equipment building on their athletic field.
They hope to have a new sport by autumn a
sport that takes a great deal of equipment. If
hockey cane introduced into the athletic cur
riculum, the program will be well-rounded for
the entire year.
This is an advance over anything done by
co-eds in the University before. We wish the
president who is elected by the Woman's asso
ciation today luck in continuing the good work.

Speaking The Campus
Mind
What's
This Wirt?
To the Editor :
Last year a class of 28 students in Public
Speaking discussed campus politics for several
days, and drew up a set of opinions. On the
last day two members of the 'Student council
came in and gave their views. It was the sense
of the group that these suggestions should at
some time be sent to the Daily Tar Heel in
the hope that they would serve as a basis for
discussion by other groups or individuals. They
are as follows :
1. That students, rather than vote a straight
ticket as a. trade for personal gain or fraternity
advancement, be urged to take an interest in
elections which is not influenced by personal ad
vantage. 2. That campus publications urge students to
encourage sportsmanship and honesty, and to
discourage offensive campaign tactics.
3. That mass meetings be sponsored by the
Student council at which candidates for all of
fices might present their platforms.
4. That proxy voting be completely abolished.
5. That no electioneering be permitted at the
polls within limits set by the Student council.
6. That two Student councilmen give out the
ballots to the voters.
7. That all candidates be required to make
public announcement two weeks before election
day of their intention to run for office.

Strike Up the Band!
Drumsticks proudly poised,
five of McCorkle's best rat-tat
ters gathered at the Old Well to
lead the grand procession of
somebodies in the Dogwood Fes
tival down to the Forest theatre.
"Forward, march !" boomed
the bandmaster.
Beatmg their drums to the
greater glory of dogwood and
all else that grows in Carolina,
the quintet struck up a smart
pace and quickly gained the
sylvan destination.
Horror and shame swept over
the troupe as it turned around
to discover that the grand tri
umphal procession down Cam
eron avenue had consisted sole
ly of five of McCorkle's best rat-
tatters.

murmured wistfully, "Elections !

Flight Shots
By r "
CARL G. THOMPSON, JR.
Quivering very much like a
stag at eve, we check through
our notes to find that none of
them seem adequate for this oc
casional (Winston; Definition 3)
column. Such bits of accidental
humor as when in "Death Takes
a Holiday" one of the two girls,
who were trying to flirt with
Fredric March in the personi
fication of Death, remarks to the
other: "So you're trying to steal
a march on me!" do not at the
time strike our usually punny
senses as being particularly en
tertaining. ,
So we would like to utilize
what may be our last chance to
print the bit of verse which was
written by a man in the middle
of the nineteenth century.
"Strange as it may seem," we
did not happen upon this poem
after naming our column but its
very title reveals its appropri
ateness. With your indulgence:
A FLIGHT SHOT
By Maurice Thompson
We were twin brothers, tall and
hale,
Glad wanderers over hill and
dale.
We stood within the twilight
shade
Of pines that rimmed a southern
glade.
He said : "Let's settle if we can,
Which of us is the stronger man.
We'll try a flight shot, high and
good, ,
Across the green glade toward
the wood."
And so we bent in sheer delight
Our old yew bows with all our
might.
Our long keen shafts, drawn to
" the head,
Wrere poised a moment ere they
sped.
As we leaned back, a breath of
air
Mingled the brown locks of our
hair.
We loosed. As one our bow
cords rang,
As one away our arrows sprang.
Away they sprang; the wind
of June
Thrilled to their softly whistled
tune.
We watched their flight, and
saw them strike
Deep in the ground slantwise
alike.
So far away that they might
pass
For two thin straws of broom
sedge grass :
Then arm in arm we doubting
went
To find whose shaft was far
thest sent; .
Each fearing - in his loving:
heart
That brother's shaft had fallen.
short.
But who could tell'by such a.
plan
Which of us was the stronger
man?
There at the margin of the
wood,
Side by side our arrows stood,..
Their red cock-feathers wing: .
and wing, v
Their amber nocks stood quiver
ing,
Their points deep-planted where
they fell
An inch apart and parallel.
We clasped each other's hand ;
said he:
Twin Champions of the world
are we!"

We know it has been a clean campaign
and because we are certain of a better
paper, we would like to see this:
