ONLY COLLEGE DAILY IN THE SOUTH A JOURNAL OF THE ACTIVITIES OF CAROLINIANS -TO CREATE A CA1IPUS PERSONALITY- VOLUME XUV OXTORIAX. TBCKX 41ft CHAPEL HILL, N. C THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1936 wain rsoKt 4tu .NUMBER 139 THE Ik Hill? if i rr TOE CAMPUS EYBOARD . by PhU Hammer We Nominate On Conjecture But Some Day Issues Will Be Bases For Our Selections Today the campus constitu -ency (a few hundred strong, if we are lucky) will direct itself to Memorial hall and hear nom inations for campus officers for the ensuing year. We have heard just about the entire ticket and we are. as a .- very meek member of the cam pus body, extremely pleased with the nominees of the cam pus politicians. Particularly well .fitted, are those men who will be iii the key positions, for 1936-37 ; they are outstanding and as well trained as possible . under our student government system which allows little opportunity for training in the processes and intricacies of student affairs. Student officials for the next year will find themselves dealing -with crucial problems. Follow ing a year which found student government's fitness challenged and challenged seriously, which found puzzling problems which demanded knowledge that few in command possessed, which witnessed the fall of leaders whose positions had made them outwardly invulnerable follow ing such - a period our student government will have its hand full in redeeming . the capacity and ability of students to gov ern themselves. This year's council within the last few months has raised ques tions which strike at the very heart of student organization. What are our functions? What are our limits ?, What are our obligations? It has been very apparent in years past that answers to such fundamental questions have not been considered in our nomina ting procedure. We do not be lieve they were strictly consider ed this year. But inadvertently our student politicians have realized the necessity of select ing not only good men who have potentiality (potentiality and not proven goodness has been and will, uncler the present system, be the only basis for selection) but also thoe who will com mand the respect and co-operation of the student body. This is indeed encouraging. Saying these things, then, that our new officers have grave re sponsibilities and our nominees seem to be well fitted, we ask your consideration of this one issue: compare the nominations in Memorial hall this morning -with a nominating procedure -which would find two powerful parties combatting on outstand ' ing student is'sues, two powerfu parties whose nominees (no mat ter how selected in caucus) bat tling verbally, on the platform on the merits of their stands two parties whose programs will be public and whose aims will be made accountable for. Compare these two pictures and see for yourself that stu dent government's efficiency in the future depends upon all-campus interest in that government and the work which it does and sets out to do. - v lit i- L" " ' I o njB'iiuifuiwwi. .Off Faculty horseshoe pitchers and co-ed f dime" a-dance-girls were snapped yesterday at the quad rangles as they gave their all for the furtherance of the University's second annual Student Faculty Day.
