Woodhouse Makes Talk
On Political Issue
Claiborn "Benny" Carr, former editor of the Daily Tar Heel,
is shown putting his best foot forward as the late Ross, Negro
trainer, asks, "Who stole Rameses?" Carr is now preparing to
steal the Fordham ram in conjunction with Carolina's meeting
with N. Y. U. next Saturday. Harvard will also play.

Heel Tells of Plans
N. Y. U. Game
for
Pete Ivey received a card in
his usual morning's mail yester
day that will again bring into
prominence the story of the kid
napping of Rameses III and
Benny Carr.
Only seniors will remember
the occasion of this hoax when
on the morning of Friday, No
vember 17, 1933, at 2 a. m. the
entire campus was alarmed by
the ringing of the South build
ing bell and the announcement
by Benny Carr that Rameses
had been snatched by Duke stu
dents.
Havoc
An assembly of about 400
mere, Long Island, is again
active in the ram market. In
the card which he wrote to Ivey
he discloses the negotiations in
which he is engaged. Carr is
conferring with Fordham offi
cials in an attempt to borrow
the Fordham ram with which to
encourage the Tar Heels when
they meet N. Y. U. in the Yan
kee stadium in New York this
Saturday.
Carr, editor of the Daily Tar
Heel in 1933-34, suggests also
that the band rehearse "Dixie"
before coming north. Since the
game is to be played in the
"Yankee" stadium, "Dixie" he
believes, will be an appropriate
number.

Professor E. J. Woodhouse of
the department of political sci
ence addressed the first meeting
of the Undergraduate Philoso
phy club Tuesday night on "The
Political-Philosophical Issues of
the 1936 Presidential Cam
paign." Preceding, the address, Frank
Wells was nominated and elect
ed president of the club and Miss
Sue Sandlin was nominated and
elected secretary. Both candi
dates gained their offices with
out opposition.
Personalities
Professor Woodhouse in his
address touched on the various
phases of politics and compared
the more outstanding personali
ties in the field.
Warning his listeners that
they were going to hear a biased
opinion, the speaker outlined his
ideas and beliefs on the present
situation. "I believe," he stated,
"'that the political philosophy
the man holds will be the deter
mining factor in the present
campaign. . . . Party platforms
mean very little, though they
should mean more. We have 48
parties in this country, one in
each state. How can they possi
bly agree' on any platform
or group of compromises ?"
Mr. Woodhouse gave the mem
bers of the club a number of
excellent criteria for judging
public figures, and the meeting
closed after a brief business ses
:sion. .

fessors of the faculty. If the
committee approves, the petition
will be brought before the Board
of Trustees at their next meet
ing.

A. S. U., made arrangements for
this action after an interview
with John Sprunt Hill, member
j of the Board of Trustees, yester

committee Monday in the hope
that the committee will approve
its presentation to the board

Meder, and Mary Lindsay to in
vestigate the exchange of ath-
etic pass books between Duke
and the University.
