That is, the speakers must be students them selves when the issues are stu dent issues. The great merit of the panel system of discussion is in the presentation not only 01 con victing views from the platform, but also of all shades of opinion from the floor following the formal speeches. So if your gentlemen in the panel are not of the type which can be ques tioned without hesitation and brought into controversy by the students in informal debates on the floor, the program loses much of its flavor and effective ness. When and if the proposed panel forums on the honor sys tem and Swain hall and other is sues are conducted, it would be ivell to consider the suggestion that leading exponents of both sides rather than older so-called experts be the speakers wTho .compose the trilogy of verbal -quarrel from the platform. Van Webb was elected vice- president of the senior class last night at a meeting of the group in Memorial hall. Webb is also vice-president of the Getrman Club, a football player, and a member , of the S. A. E. fraternity. He is from Ra leigh. Other Nominees :,.'. Other nominations for the of fice were Mark Lynch, Tom Hawthorne, and J. C. Grier. Pres ident Morris Rhodes was in charge of the election, which was supervised by Francis Fairley, president of the student coun cil. Senior Executive Committee Claude Rankin and Frank Ro gers were added to the senior class executive committee at its meeting Monday night. Reports of the various chair men were made, and a tentative program for Senior Week was discussed. It was also announced that the ' executive committee would take part in the figure of the Junior-Senior dances. The committee is to have regular meeting every Monday night at 7:30 in 209 Graham Memorial. All members are urg ed to be-present at these meet When you set out to make any sort of detailed study and analy sis of the honor system at Car olina, you will find that not only the principle of honor, but the "very system spreads as a basis for every student activity on the campus. This means that any re-interpretation of the honor system, "which must and will be made by this student body before this quarter has ended, will also re interpret to a certain extent the -entire system of student govern meiit and student activity. To be more specinc, suppose that the student body manifests its views that it is not capable, by virtue of home and second ary school training, to assume the two-fold responsibility of the honor system, one element of which is reporting violators of the code. By the same token, it might also mean that it is not capable of administering stu dent government by itself with out faculty or administrative supervision. It might mean that it is capable of administer ing student government, but not of exercising ultimate pow -ers which would determine, to some extent, the campus lives of fellow students. And if the campus does not believe that it should assume system which determines how .each individual should interpret .honor, it might mean that should not assume the responsi bilities of operating student dance conduct rules. Multiply these assumptions by a hundred, and you have some idea of the far-reaching consequences of the forthcoming decision which our students must make about their honor system. mgs.

Due to the fact that copies of 'Dead End" are not available on he campus, Mr. Davis was un able to read selections from the play as he had planned.

Metropolitan Opera Star was First Singer to Go from Radio to Opera Nino Martini, Metropolitan Opera tenor who is to sing at Duke University February 27, is said to have the highest range of any tenor since Rubini, who died about 1845. Martini was born in Verona, Italy, and started his musical career at the age of 10 as a solo ist on feast days. Later, Gio vanni Zenatello and his wife, Maria Gay, both famous opera ! singers, became interested in him and took him into their home for study. Zenatello began the boy's vocal training when he was 18; three years later Martini made his operatic debut. He had already won considerable recognition as concert soloist with the orchestra at Verona. While singing at Milan the Bellini opera "I Puritani" was revived for him. This opera was first produced in 1835, and had been composed especially for a celebrated tenor of that time.
