Consolidation 9 Firmer Foundation The ten members of the Student Council, under the present set-up of campus government, are the only students officially concerned with the ad ministration of the honor system. Training men for places on this campus tribunal is nonexistent. Furthermore no organized agency undertakes the job of keeping the honor principle continuously blazing before the student body. The majority proposal of the honor committee to set up a substructure of four class councils to work under the Student Council points at broad- ening the organizational foundation of our stu dent government. Each class would have its own honor council, elected by the class from a list of nominees presented by the Student Council. These class honor councils would determine the innocence or guilt of defendants; a student found guilty of a breach of the honor system would have his case carried to the Student Council, which would determine the penalty. : - ROCKS tS b; This proposed innovation is met with the argu n;,ment that a, substructure of class councils would. only complicate the organization of cam-.-f -: pus government. There is the problem, too, of get ting real student leaders on the class councils. And giving four different councils jurisdiction in honor cases, it is argued, might result in a lack of uni formity in the administration of the honor system. Roses On the other hand, the system of class councils would give about 20 more students an official part in administering the honor system. The sub structure councils would provide an excellent means of training more men in student govern ment. With each sub-council taking the respon sibility of presenting the honor system to its class, the principle of honor would be brought clos er home to every individual on the campus. Re- I sponsibility for student government should be ; more widespread. mm m m a m m I a I in providing a wider structure to cover a large and growing campus," the recommendation for class councils is a step in the right direction. i To try out the sub-council plan, as an experiment in student government, should prove worthwhile. . i ' Live Politicians I Last night's speech by Gubernatorial Candi- date John A. McRae continued the line of out standing political leaders, including Sandy Gra ham and Ralph McDonald, also candidates for gov- ; ernor, to appear at Carolina on programs spon . sored by Floyd Fletcher's Political Union. Unlike the American Student Union or any other campus organizations, the Political Union, as far as the members (who are representatives, from every other group on the campus) are con cerned, doesn't actively exist; but for the work i the Union's doing it is bringing to the student body real, live politicians, fighting for office right 1 now with actual issues and platforms in their brief cases. Segregated students are getting con- tact with political forces which they'll have to . face within four years. This is more of that ter- ra-firma education the Union's giving us. M. S. 1 Xa A.

E. G A.MPUS LITERATI On revie w BY BILL HUDSON POE'S LAST ISSUE I Six "enlightening but rather gloomy reflections from more or less unrelated facets of South ern life, interesting treatments of four campus topics, a short story by the playwright Jose phine Niggli, another poem of. John Coulter's and the regular book reviews make up the table of contents of the April issue of the Magazine, Charles Poe's editorial .valedictory, to be pub lished today. The South Scottsboro, U. D. C Talmadge, Et Cetera " 'Oh, they're guilty, Nick guilty as hell" This is Tom Knight, present lieutenant-governor (with gubernatorial aspi rations) of Alabama, and pros ecutor of the Scottsboro case, speaking through Nick Read, who interviewed him during spring vacation. Scottsboro De fense Rests, well-written, in an informal unprejudiced manner, is jammed full of intimate glimpses of "Mr. Tom," side lights on the history of the case, and, most interesting, of all, re velations of the workings of the : mind that has ; four times suc cessfully "planned and directed- prosecutions of the ' defendants. v ,A pieture of the dictator of Alabama's neighbor state, Imita tion of Huey Long, by Bill Woot- n, is awkwardly written and ot very well assembled, but in teresting because its subject is "The Wild Man from Sugar Creek," Governor Talmadge. Increasing deftness and sure ness are exhibited by Shelby Foote in his latest short story, This Primrose Hill, with Missis sippi setting and characters. He has an effective, flexible style, but hasn't yet found much to say with it. (Along with Mr. Foote's story goes a linoleum cut. Editor Poe has not been successful this year in finding good illustrations for i his publication; linoleum and wood cuts harmonize well with the format of the Magazine, but they are poor illustrative medi ums. Editor-elect Jim Daniels plans to use them only for deco ration, which . we consider a wise idea.) Adam's Alley in the Moon light, free verse by Elmer D. Johnson, presents a scene and atmosphere which recall passag es from Look Homeiuard, Angel describing the Negro settlement in which Eugene Gant delivered newspapers. In creating an un usual mood, Mr. Johnson makes startlingly poetic use of ordinar ily prosaic words and expres sions. Under the disguise of a pseu donym (Hubert B. Wills), some noble and humorous soul pokes good-natured fun at a good old. Southern institution, in Hus band of a Hoo-Dee-Cee. We'll bet, though, that if any of the Daughters read his little story,, they'll be hoppin' mad, for it's mighty nigh secrilegious. George Butler has written an other typical newspaper feature no more, no'less in Swind lers by- Profession, sub-titled "North Carolina. 'Suckers Bite c Frequently.' Good reading" 1 Carolina Academic Problems,. History of Humor Charles Poe is all for Liberal izing Liberal Arts. In an article by that title he sums up a situa tion rather deplorable for nu merous individuals and suggests a very logical remedy. Many students will find in this article a plea which is their very own,, and faculty and administrative heads will find in the solution Mr. Poe offers a challenge they cannot overlook and still retain clean consciences. The Editor's Opinion is unusually well worth reading this month, for he puts two other important questions (Continued on last page) The New Generation ''WW Always With Us To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel : In her letter concerning the food at the Shack Miss X voiced the opinion of a very small mino rity of the co-eds who eat there. The rest of us who have eaten in other dormitories recognize the superiority of the meals and service in the Shack. To make the statement that Miss X's account is a gross exag geration would be putting it mildly. She made the statement that each girl who lives in Spencer hall pays $270 a year for board which is not true. We pay $283 a year which includes $90 for room rent. Board is approximately $23 a month and Margaret Jordan By Stuart Rabb It required just two short years for Margaret Jordan, of the tennis playing Jordans, to rise from an unknown co-ed un dergraduate to presidency of the Woman's Association. 'She was elected vice-president of the co-eds during her first year at Carolina. Born in Fayetteville, Ark., Margaret has lived in the East, the Mid-west, the Southwest, and finally the North. Two years in New- York City has given her that delicate touch of a Yankee accent which crops out now and then. Plays Tennis Margaret's . little brother, Sonny, just won the state high school tennis championship, but Margaret can give him av good game imost anytime. Margaret's passion for choc olate ice cream cones is exceed ed only ' by her affinity for lemon "cokes" to carry. Fre quenters of Franklin street sel dom see her unaccompanied by one of the aforementioned ob jects. Major Working toward a major iii the personnel management pro posed for the University, Mar garet, in the event that plans for the new major don't go through, will turn her efforts toward sociology. No immediate changes are to be expected in the Woman's As sociation, Margaret says. She intends to shape a program slow ly. In addition to her presidency of the Woman's association Mar garet takes part in a staggering number of extra-curricular ac tivities. She is secretary of Al pha Kappa Delta, honorary so ciological fraternity. Then she is a member of Alpha Kappa Gam ma, woman's honorary sorority and played a decisive part in the foundation of the Y. W. C. A. here. , " Chairmanships of the co-ed dance committee and the co-ed May Day committee are two more of her jobs. Then she is manager of co-ed tennis, vice president of the co-ed Glee Club and a member of the girl's Ath letic Council.
