TIME TO THINK COLLEG PRESS 4 The Benson Bill At no time in undergraduate history has it been more essen tial that our campus body elect extremely capable officers to ad minister student government for the ensuing year. Recent developments in student affairs have made manifest not so much a weakness in personality, of student leaders but j more clearly a policy of student government which has left the student body ignorant of the functions and responsibilities of stu dent government. True, the leaders themselves have been com paratively ignorant of many of the phases of this question and this has not helped the situation any. But the sluggishness which permeates not only our activity off ices but also the voting and participating populace is perhaps our most imminent problem. It is not stretching the imagination a bit to assert that the Honor system would never have fallen into such rusty degradation, that there would never have been questions of athletic amateur ism, that there never would have been any disagreeable episodes such as the boxing ineligibility and Buccaneer fiascos, if the stu dent body had been interested in and cognizant of the duties of student government. That is how our long-run philosophy of a two-party two-fisted political system on this campus works into the amelioration of many of our student problems and that is why we believe that sooner or later the quicker the better our very best men, in per sonality and ability, will eventually become our student leaders in title as well as m practice. We do not for a minute believe that an uninformed member of the student hody should be able to step into an office to which he is elected and know the whole situation so perfectly that he can meet all contingencies. Naturally, there must be experience. But is it not true that we can do much toward improving the knowledge of our student body from which our officers are elect ed, increasing its knowledge of student affairs ? Wa understand from fairly reliable sources that the political party this year is making merit the prime consideration. We have been informed of the names of several of the candidates for major offices and agree that these men are without a doubt the best men available. But we know for a fact at the same time that these men do not know half what they should know about the offices which they are to administer and it has not been be cause of personal inability but because of an all-campus dis interest. When the names of the candidates for the presidency and vice-presidency of the student body and the classes and for the offices on the Student Council are made known, we suggest that the constituency ascertain candidates' knowledge in these fields: A complete and clear understanding of the honor system in cluding historical and contemporary , administrative and construc tive details; An understanding of the functions and activities of all stu dent groups coming directly under their jurisdiction ; An understanding of the more important student issues, such as compulsory fees, student government set-up, constitutional re quirements, trustee rulings, administrative rulings and existing student conduct regulations ; An understanding of dormitory government; A philosophy of student government embracing the inaugu ration and growth of the University's self-government, America's oldest and freest. That is too large an orderi yet there are still other questions which our student' leaders must learn as they administer their functions. The possibilities for education, moral, social and in tellectual, have never been anywhere nearly approximated by our student leaders and now is an excellent time to start. Opposition to the Benson Bill, for extending the National Youth Administration in its scope and application, is mount ing in Congress, according to re cent reports. Action on the mea sure, which affects so many stu dents both here and on nearly every other large campus of the United States, will be taken by Congress on Thursday, Friday, alid Saturday of next week. If the bill fails to pass, it will mean the drastic curtailment of part-time jobs for many under graduates and graduate students. Senator Benson, who has fath ered the new measure, has call ed for a representation of a thousand students from nearby institutions to help impress up on Congress the necessity of the legislation. While it seems im probable that many students here will find it possible to jour ney to Washington over the next weekend, still there is a method open to us which may not seem to be openly as effective as act ual lobbying might be, but which in the past has done a great deal toward the passage of some de sired issue. If every student who holds a part-time job which receives its support from governmental ap propriation would write to his individual Congressmen and Sen tors within the next few days, requesting that the new NYA bill be passed, the bill will cer tainly have far more opportuni ty of being approved. Students at other schools are communica ting with their members of Congress ; a national protest from the universities and col leges of America will have far greater effect on the actual pass age of the act than the unorga nized lobbying of a small group. r Daily Pennsylvanian.

Many motion picture producers asked him to come to Hollywood, however he remained on the stage, and finally after a long period during which experience was gained, he was given his cur rent leading role. During his stay at Carolina, Strudwick not only participated n extra-curricular activities but also gained honors as a student. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Gorgon's Head, and the Golden Fleece. He has the distinction of being the first man to be elected to the Golden Fleece on the basis of his dramatic achievements.
