SALVE By Stuart Rabb Stick Right In There, Little Man o Vox Populi IN YESTERDAY'S Daily Tar Heel appears a : letter from "S. S." graciously informing a mem ber of the freshnian class that he need not wor ry about who his governing officers will be since they will be chosen for him, and chosen wisely. It is an established fact that there is on this campus a political organization a political or ganization, however, which has in the past dem onstrated an uncanny ability to pick the logical men for offices. But it is1 also an established fact that the power of any one political group on this campus grows out of the need for some group to take an interest in the campus elections, since the students do not. And it is a third demonstrated fact, that the less interest the' students take in their government, the less chance the present system of campus democratic government, and the present system of individual honor and free dom on examinations has of being continued. Whatever evil there is in the present set-up, whatever harm has been done by it, can certainly .be corrected by more thinking students like the freshman who was interested in his class officers, and it is presumptious and harmful for anyone to attempt to destroy a man's interest in his own government. E. L. K. o Commercialization PSYCH LAB Instructor Dave Spelt has a great time these Saturday afternoons. He's the lit tle fellow dragging the telephone wire along the sidelines who announces the football game over the public address system. Fine service to the spectators ... The last football game we had was followed: that night by a Grail dance, but on the pretext of preventing "commercialization," somebody told friend Spelt he couldn't announce the Grail at the game. Doyle's, florists, agreed to furnish flowers for the sponsors at Homecoming tomorrow if they'd be acjmbwledged at the game. "No soap," said the administration, "commercialization." Until recently Grails have been announced ; do nors have been acknowledged at games; arid in other instances, particularly Student Entertain ments, piano lenders and the like have been given public credit. We incurred some little expense a while back when somebody called off a B-C 'sponsored radio broadcast; the University had to pay sponsorship costs itself. Not even considering the fact that big broad casts of football games, under outside sponsor ship, do not connect the colleges with vicious pro ducts (how many sponsors can the average stu dent connect with any other schools which have had games broadcast? None.) and not even con sidering the "commercialization" implications in the fact of the printed programs and gate receipts it is quibbling a bit to prohibit local announce ments of University concern.

WEAF. - Students Continue To Boil Over Letters On Politics AGE LIMIT REACHED To the ditor, -The Daily Tar Heel: Since the habit of answering letters has become in vogue, I should like to say a few words in regard to S. Ss most enlight ening, yes, most instructive "and democratic epistle. It seems that S. S. regards the freshman class as a baby that must be tended and cuddled, but must let big brother make all decisions. Of course, I refer to the upper classes and the Uni versity party. It is very courteous of you gentlemen to offer your services, but we simply could not put you to the trouble. Consequently, if you do not object too seriously, and even if you .do, we shall fol low the footsteps of more sensi ble classes in the past who have elected officers for the service of the freshman class, not. for the upper classes and the Uni versity party. Thank you again, S. S., for your kindness, but the election board has just informed us that we are past the age limit. In other words, we are going to vote on election day. I presume you know the direction we shall follow. M. H. ONE-SIDED ELECTIONS To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: In last Wednesday's Daily Tar Heel a freshman, J. B., HI, asked for information regarding the election of officers for his class, and particularly asking who are the backers of these candidates. 7 In a reply on the following day S. S. stated that J. B. had noth ing to worry about as an unde f eatable organization had been' putting in all the officers for the past few years. Freshmen Revolt However, last spring a group of freshmen decided that they would attempt to stop these one sided elections. These freshmen organized the Student's party ; and contrary to dire predictions of failure successfully bucked the machine. An editorial in The Carolina Magazine aptly phrases this op position as a Renaissance in Politics.. Let me quote a line from that editorial which ex plans the principle upon which the Student's party was found ed. "The assumption of their rightful political power is the task of the dormitory resi dents." Party Underway The Student's party has pledged its support to whomev er the class of '40 names as its ticket in the impending election. It depends upon the .freshmen themselves to see that they re ceive the due representation that is rightfully theirs. CARL M. FISTEL. From The Music Box By Harold S. Cone ' By Harold S. Cone Peter Hansen did not open his lecture recital Wednesday night in Hill Music hall as did another who, speaking once on French piano music, began by quoting H. L. Mencken to the effect that there are but two kinds of mu sic : German and bad. ; Our pianist, however, gave in a short paper a clear account of the matter hitting upon the chief characteristics of French music : its aesthetic background, the concept of imitating nature; its rationalistic approach, no matter whether the music be classic or romantic; its stress upon the way the thing is said, rather than what is said. A frowning on pure instru mental forms as such, in con junction with, these French aes thetic principles, the speaker said, left but three openings for solo keyboard music. It is found either to embrace dance forms, to indulge in tone painting (de scribing objects or ideas semi- literally or impressionistically), or to exploit its own technical possibilities, making for pleas ing music. Not the Whole Story But when Mr. Hansen drew the chief distinction as being be tween music which is pleasing and that which draws us into its tonal flow, he gave by no means the whole story even in gen erality of that which marks Gallic art from certain other types. There is much clavier music i of Bach which by no means draws us in or under,' but leaves lis just as. undisturbed as any by French clavecinists.

An Examination of Some of the Evil Consequences of Un-De-Empha-sized Football A recent issue of the Daily Tar Heel was ornamented with an original cartoon by one of the staff artists, depicting the sad plight of most modern colleges, where education, like the mangy dog, is being wagged by football, his rebellious tail. The picture strikes sad chords of sympathy in my own soul, which has long been burdened with melancholy over the sur render to un-de-emphasized foot ball of so many of the better things in the full college life. By this article. I intend to join in grieving and in protest with (Continued on tost page) Quill Quips by .

No Fuller Brushes Curious ones heard it yester day afternoon and ran up to South building. Somebody had said that Communist Candidates Browder and Ford had invaded Mr. Graham's office. . . . Anxious inquiry brought a laugh from Dr. Frank; the visi tors were (1) a neighboring col lege president, and (2) a life in surance salesman. . . . Pleasure Leonard Levitch tells the story of the "campus leader" Pete Ivey invited to his opening dance for the new coeds the first week of school. Brilliant Campusman, during the dance, unfortunately was obliged to keep the same partner for several dances. No relief seemed in sight. Turning to the girl-after a moment's preparation, he blithe ly remarked: "Gee, you're the best dancer I ever got stuck with. ..." Between the Cup Friend Lytt Gardner's mighty proud of that $25 he won telling America how to raise quintup lets. The contest was conducted in August, and Cosmopolitan judges soon after sent Winner Gardner his check. The letter came in to Reidsville and Mrs. Gardner tossed it over in the corner. "Just another subscrip tion plea," she commented. Son Lytt, hard at his studies down here at the Hill, forgot all about his contest entry. Then the other day Mrs. Gard ner began taking - telephone notes, voluminous notes. In fact she took so many notes that she had to tear open the old envelope she was using to get more room to write. Out of the dusty, scribbled over envelope dropped $25. . . . First prize for Quintuplet Raiser Lytt Gardner. . . . And true vir tue at. last received its just re ward. . .' .

A PROF ANSWERS R. K. B. To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel : If R. K. B., who writes a let ter on the honor system in your issue of October 27, had read the Philosophy of Life in today's is sue and given it a little thought, I believe he would have dropped his letter in the waste basket. I do not know to. what professor R. K. B. refers; but-as I have always requested my students to separate themselves by at least one seat during their written tests, and as the same method is followed as far as possible by other professors in - the botany department, I feel that it will do v no harm to call attention to cer tain obvious responsibilities of a professor in the constant efforts of all of us to maintain and . strengthen our honor system. Anyone who maintains that the (Continued on last page)
