L,ansdare's Staff Adopts Fiery
Kesoiution Before- Making
Official Staff Nomination
ELECTION COMES EARLY
Harnlina Buccaneer staff
last night made its official nomi
nation of the man who it be
lieved should be editor for next
year, thereby establishing some
thing of a precedent.
It's nothing new to have an
'official staff nominee. That pro
cedure has been somewhat an in
tegral part of local politics on.tlie
publications for many yeajsJ'aM
the parties have done some pret
ty heavy work before the staff
meetings to make their own can
didates "official."'
But the unprecedented element
enters in when the Buccaneer
staff makes its nomination with
out warning, without politicking,
without any previous announce
ment at all. This puts the steer
ing committee in a new position,
that of having to consider the
staff's wishes even before the
committee had anything to do
with determining those wishes,
"by one way or another.
The intention of Buccaneerites
obviously is not to deny the
Tight of the student body to elect
whom it pleases, but to empha
size the importance of their op
inions of the man who is to be
their next editor!" Iir other words;
the Buccaneerites have pride in
their magazine and in their abil
ity to choose their present edi
tor's successor better than the
politicians in executive session.
It is indeed encouraging to
see that some of our publications
men have courage enough to
come out and express their op
inions without first seeking the
nomma-
jNommatmg Julian Bobbitt
as the official staff candidate for
the next editor of the Carolina
.Buccaneer, Nelson Lansdale's
board of humor producers last
night took unprecedented action
in the far-in-advance
tion.
o: ia i .i
oummaiieousiy, tne group
opened fire directly against the
youucai irame-up as it now
exists on the campus in a reso
lution which purported to give
Bobbitt sanction as the staff's
pick in the light of ability and
competence for the editorship.
Kick-Back .
Lansdale was directing the
staff's action straight at the very
party and politicians who last
spring supported him for editor
of the "Buc" after, his three
years service on the Magazine
and the Daily Tar Heel, with
practically no experience what
ever on the humor . publication.
He presented the resolution to
Two Important Issues
Two issues of major importance will be systematically pre
sented and widely discussed: on this campus within the next
few weeks.
The question of the future of the honor system will be com
pletely scrutinized by the student council's special commit
tee and presented to the students in the form of factual infor
mation about the past and present of the system, obstensible
administrative failings, fundamental errors, needs for clarifi
cation and other phases of the problem.
The question of supporting the Graham plan of athletics will
be presented by this newspaper in the form of factual informa
tion about the historical views on amateurism, present con
ditions, arguments for and against regulations prohibiting
alumni support, and other phases of this problem.
What students do and think about the system which has
grown up to administer the honor principle within the next
three weeks will determine the future of this historic tradi
tion, the basis of undergraduate academic and extra-curricular
activity.
And the extent to which we are willing to go 100 per cent
simon purist in athletics, after having adopted the pure Gra
ham Plan, wilTBe an important factor in the success not only
of our University athletic program, but also of the entire ath
letic program of the south in the future.
These two issues have many ramifying, complicated sides.
As near complete presentations as possible of both questions
will aid the students in making their contributions to the Uni
versity's future through the expression of their well-considered
opinions.

The symposium will take the
form of a panel debate, followed
by an open forum discussion.
Sponsored by the campus branch

symposium represents the first
concerted drive to sound out full
student opinion on the honor
system. The discussion is en

dent leaders now seeking a
means of revitalizing the honor
system.
Organization

mal groups have discussed plans

White's Music
Another high light of the

latest composition of Dr. A.
McLaren White, professor of

University.
Dr. White has taken an active
interest in music for some time.
The rest of the program will
be composed of the overture to
the Gomez opera "II Guarany;"
Bach's "Fervent is My Long

Minor;" the first movement of
Fauchet's "Symphony in B
Flat;" and a modern rhapsody,
"Headlines," by Carleton Colby.
"Headlines" is being repeated
by special request owing to its
popularity at the band's first
concert. Dr. Slocum says of it,

A detailed study of the honor
system, viewed historically, cri-
tically and scientifically, was
planned last night in a lengthy
session of the special student
committee recently appointed by
Student Body President Francis
Fairley.
The group, composed of 12
students, outlined a program
which will put in the hands of
every student on the campus
this complete study, with certain
fundamental questions to be an
swered by each student. Utiliz
ing the smallest possible student
groups as centers of discussion
of the issues presented, the plan
purports to bring together at
the end of three weeks the full
and true opinion of the student
body on the honor system and
its future at Carolina.
Faculty Survey
Through the faculty executive
committee, the group will con
duct a similar survey of and pre
sent a similar study to the fac
ulty members.
-Material for the mimeograph
ed presentations will be gathered
throughout the week by individ
ual committee members, who
will meet again Sunday night to
synthesize it and make arrange
ments for putting It into student
hands.
Present plans will have the is
sues drawn from the study defi
nitely settled before winter
quarter examinations. However,
if sufficient time has not been
allowed for all-campus considera
tion, the work will run over into
the spring quarter.
