TO HOLD INITIATION SOON
Given the alternative of ad
ministering student activities
through complete student self
government or through faculty
-control, about nine out of 10 ed
ucators and students would
choose the former, because of its
character buildinsr and civic
values.
What actually happens under
such a system is invariably this,
no matter how perfect the self
jgovernmg system is set up:
there are always a few, the hon-
estto-goodness campus leaders,
"who do all the work. The student
lody as a whole usually co-operates
by electing officers and
other persons of great social
magnitude, but its co-operation
usually ends there.

these individuals and despite

tor of the Daily Tar Heel,
Barney Keeney, president of Phi
Beta Kappa) and some myster
ious "Tarzan," who also seemed
to be in popular favor. It was
specified on several of the votes
cast for Lansdale that he wear
a black, slinky evening gown.
In commenting on the distinct
tion accorded him in the voting,
Lansdale said: "Thanks a mil
lion to the good old University
Party for securing me another
campus office. I don't feel" I de
serve this one either, but thanks
anyhow." Other local celebrities
who were approached for a
statement had nothing to say for
publication.

votes. Other celebrities, who
were favored were Eleanor
