UNION PROBLEMS
Last winter the Carolina Political Union fell into ruin simply
because local organizations, one in particular, did not want the
competition of a new and progressive group which threatened its
supremacy in local forensic circles.
By flooding the union's first meeting with its own men and
electing thereby one of its number as chairman of the union, this Subtle
group got into power and let the union die. The longest letter that we ever

HEAR THE ATHLETES
All over the south, for months now, opinions on the Graham
Plan for de-emphasizing collegiate athletics have blasted forth.
Alumni, faculty staffs, athletic councils, coaches, and presidents
ave taken turns criticizing or approving the program. By the
Southern Conference officials last week the Graham Plan was
adopted. But criticisms on the question continue. Our own alumni
association, five days after the adoption of the plan by the South
ern Conference, drew up a resolution diametrically opposed to
President Graham's program.
The arguing has been over athletes and athletics. Yet in all
the vociferation over the Graham Plan the students participating
in collegiate sports have said nothing. Still the athletes must have
some helpful opinions on the matter. Into the ash can of oblivion
their viewpoints on the question must not be cast.
Tonight the University Monogram Club meets. The expression
of some sentiment on the Graham Plan by the Carolina letter-men
should be interesting.

the art side of the publication.
Last year he came in second to
Lansdale in the staff polling.
Wilson came to the front un
der the present regime of Lans
dale. His work, other than the
technical functions of producing
the magazine, has been concern
ed with several short skits and
stories which he published.
Resolution
The text of the fiery resolu
tion which passed the staff with
only a few dissenting voices fol
lows:
"Whether or not the editor of
a campus publication is compe
tent means the difference be
tween wasting and properly us
ing the money the student body
appropriates for publications.
Few campus positions place as
much responsibility, demand as
much intelligence and integrity,
as the editorship of a campus
publication.
"We, the Carolina Buccaneer
staff, believe that we are more
competent to select . that man
who can best direct our activi
ties next year than campus pol
iticians, whose choice for these
as for all offices, are determin
ed by the strength of the frater
nities of which they are mem
bers or the dormitory popularity
of possible - candidates. That
which concerns the politicians

tence of possible candidates is
our interest.
Student Body
"We emphatically do not deny
the right of the student body to
select the men in whom it places
confidence to spend its money
and provide its reading mate

any selected tnese men, we
would have nothing to say. But
the selection is not made by the
student body, but by a self-appointed
. group of politicians,
whom self-interest has banded
together. Under the present rot

by this steering committee is
virtually equivalent to. election
"We believe that we, and not
the steering committee of the
University Party or any other
party moved by the considera
tion of what organization 'de
serves' what slice of political
pie, have the better right to se

for his ability the man. who is
best qualified to edit this publi
cation next year."
Had you ever thought of the
kind of mate you'd choose when
the time came? No doubt you
had, but it's interesting to see
what other people, equally inter

it. Dr. Ray Erwm Baber, pro

ANENT GLADYS
To the Editor:
The Daily Tar Heel:
Herbert Hazelman's criticism
of the review (or was it revieu
of the criticism?) by Ruth Cro
well of the recent Swarthout re
cital cannot be the last words on
ative.
It seems that these college
students were morf. dogmatic
about their religious beliefs than
would be expected. Fifty-eight
per cent of the men and 42 per
cent of the women. ,said they
would marry outside their own
faith. On the question of in
telligence, the old story of beau
tiful but dumb still apparently
is widely believed. Seventy-six
per cent of the men voted in
favor of a less intelligent mate,
and 18 per cent of the women
did the same.
But lest you become too en
thusiastic about trying these re
sults out to see if they were
wisely determined by those vot
ing in the poll, we present the
advice of Professor Walter
Beck, psychology teacher at the
University of Boston. He says,
Don't marry while in college.
The success of a matrimonial
venture depends upon, matching
personalities and no character
is the same after four years in
college." Take it easy, lads and
lassies. ' "
We finish with a note from
the Princeton paper. It seems
to have its merit. "Out west
when they see a man driving
recklessly, they toot their horn
at him three times. He feels
ashamed and toots back three
time, and goes on with everyone
feeling he has been sufficiently
punished."
tne suDject. Granting that the
the women replied in the affirm-orinal article was a monument
ux xexxxiiixne persinage and il
Iogicalness, Newshen Crowell
did strike truth when she con
cluded that Miss . Swarthout
"proved to be a disappointment."
Preluded by tons of press
agentry, by her recent motion
picture, by her radio programs,
we went to Memorial hall last
Wednesday night expecting to
hear an artist of first rank a
young singer, but one of the in
ner cirde perhaps a young
Louise Homer or even a Schu-
mann-Hemk. We left Memorial
hall disappointed and knowing
that this was far from the truth.
We had seen a well built and
well groomed young lady and
had heard her sing an unexcit
ing group of songs in a pleasing;
manner. Not once did we ex
perience that moment of fusion
between great song and great
artist in which one forgets that
someone is singing a song and
is only conscious that a song is
being sung. Not that the con
cert was bad it simply wasn't
of the calibre that one had been
led to expect.
This being the case,- one un
derstands why Miss Crowell
tried to "apologize" for the per
formance. - She was very polite,
however, when she suggested
that it was an "off" night for
the singer. The root of the con
fusion goes deeper, I believe.
When we hear a singer on the
radio or in the movies we hear
her under super ideal conditions
under which vocal inadequacies
can be remedied by mechanical
means. When, later, we hear
her under conditions far front
ideal (to put it mildly concern
ing Memorial hall acoustics and
lighting) we inevitably feel dis
appointment Whether this is a
condition favorable to the grow
th of musical artistry is open to
question.
But on the other hand,
haps, I am being unfair to Mis
Swarthout and her gallant de
fender, Mr. Hazelman. It should
be known that I was denied the
unique pleasure of sharing
midnight beer with the Glamor
ous Gladys.
