Levitch JOIN STUDENT PARTY To the Editor ' ' The Daily Tar Heel : - There are many reasons why every freshman dormitory resi-. dent should join the Student party, Ther most important, how ever, is relative to the represen tation of the dormitory resi dents in campus politics. At the present there are about 3,000 students enrolled at this Universtiy. Over two-thirds of these students live in dormitor ies. How many of the campus officers (outside of the sopho more class) who you know, are representing dormitories? Very few, if any. There is a decidedly unfair representation. Who is to blame for this? No one except the dormitory residents them selves. . The only way to overcome this situation is to join the par ty which you, the dormitory residents, feel is the most rep resentative of your needs. To achieve these ends, JOIN THE STUDENT PARTY. George E. Zink. 1 ':mgm ::WP liYDCSrS o Of '76 LAST NIGHT the Student council set the dates for nomination and election of officers of the freshman class. Over the weekend freshman groups petitioned Dean of the General College C. P. Spruill to give them a freshman assembly pe riod to discuss class politics among themselves. Last week the campus was flooded with multifari ous protests and appeals from freshmen, writing in these columns, who were horrified at the idea of party, politics influencing the results in the freshman election! Such general student concern, arousing as it does healthy criticism of the present order of things and at the same time offering that compet itive atmosphere which stimulates best results even in a customarily single "partied" constitu ency, is a good sign . . . Everybody'll step livelier when they're being watched. J. M. S. 9 Bare Walls APPOINTED with a divan, curtains, a floor lamp, and several chairs, an otherwise bleak cubicle in Mangum has been transformed into the first social room of the upper quadrangle. Interdormi tory Council Head Albert Ellis collaborated with Mangum's President Hall Conley and Manager Joe Derrickson in putting across this much-wanted project. We're glad to see a beginning has been made, but it's a little early to rhapsodize on success. There stUl remain social-roomless 14 men's dor mitories. In the lower quadrangle, stores now oc cupy what were once ill-equipped pseudo-social rooms. To be attractive and effective, social rooms, when we do get them, must be well-furnished and well-supervised. This year's new system of a more efficient, more compact form of dormitory opera tion will help solve the problem of supervision. If, when social rooms are in the remaining dor- mitories, we can succeed in equipping them as well as Mangum has hers, we will have gone a long way towards assuring their success; Bare walls aren't very inviting to students . . . L. I. G. Foiled Again GRANTED permission to use the stage at Me morial hall for their practice floor, 35 students are meeting daily to practice the ancient sport of fencing. In 1932 a group of fencers here, working large ly on their own initiative were runners-up in the Southern conference.' Since then interest spasmod ically declined until this year's renaissance. We have in school this fall no less than four prep school stars as well . as several ex-college swordsmen. They plan to give an exhibition of their skill at chapel in the near future. In Washington and Lee, City college of Charles ton, the Naval academy, there are fencing teams willing to match swords with us. We are waiting for the steel to ring! S. W. R. PARTY, PARTY, PARTY To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel : I see by the paper that politi cal fever is rising and seems to center around the question of parties on the campus. All well and good, but so far, letters and editorials have failed to bring out one of the most "disappoint ing aspects of campus politics. If you care to even glance at past records they reveal a startling fact, that is, the low percentage of students who can find 10 or 15 minutes of one day to go out and vote. Most of the students seem to be interested until elec tion time comes, then it is: "Oh, I gotta study." (Maybe we ought to have elections every day for the sake of marks!) - There are two parties on the campus but they are practically useless unless each, individual will find the time and interest to back the best man. Parties are here to introduce to you the candidates for office and to get you to vote for the man you think fitted. So, no matter what . party you belong to, get out and vote. W. B. B. The Ruling: Clawss h,;-..,a ; J ( ' if u'ri i(J I f, Vfij Stop twiddling your thumbs you're making me dizzy." Courtesy Daily Worker. -fr VOTE, VOTE, VOTE To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: In response to R. B.'s request for more detailed information concerning campus politics, it shcfuld be noted tjhat in last year's all-campus elecjons only one-seventh of the enve student body was sufficiently interested to go to the polls. Le.J than half of that number were dormitory men. Truly a representative group. Hence the uncontested election of the present major of ficers. This of course proves that a small minority can guide the des tinies of the entire campus if ' they are so determined. If this is so, why shouldn't the large majority have their representa tive at the helm? The obvious solution to this problem lies in arousing the interest of this powerful majority. This campus is supposedly run by a student government. It is supposedly a democracy. If the majority of the students do not participate in elections then ours, is neither a student government nor a democratic one. Dormitory men, be alive to the facts! Make our officer repre sent the entire campus ! S. S. S. S.-J. B. AFFAIR To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: Perchance I might be leaping into troubled waters over this much discussed S. S.-J. B. affair. However I feel safe in saying that our friend S. S. has under gone a lot of undue criticism. It seems that his letter was vastly misinterpreted by a few freshmen, if not the majority. I would suggest to said freshmen that they read over once again the letter of S. S. and see if they don't distinguish a trace of the subtle in it. I hardly believe that a student of the University would come right out and attempt to put some eight hundred freshmen in their places regarding campus politics. No, fellow students, we owe our dear colleague an apology. James R. Brill. WE WANT OUR OWN MEN To the Editor, ; The Daily Tar Heel: I have read the answer to my letter printed in your paper Thursday. I really don't know how to reply, I only hope the writer is trying to be funny, and I don't think that a matter of such importance is quite the subject to be facetious about. . S. S. says in his letter that there is a party that controls the whole campus, and poor freshmen like me have nothing to do but go and vote for a name. The freshman class should con sider that letter a challenge, and make some effort to stop such politics, at least in the class of "40! We want our own candi dates, not the wise (?) choices of this mysterious clique which has run the campus for the past five or six years. Joseph Boak III. ALL ABOUT IT . . . To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: From previous letters it is ap parent that attention has been? called to politics and the neces sity for organization as a unit of the majority of the freshman class "if they are to govern and not be governed" as was said in. one of yesterday's letters. These letters have left open the ques tion of who will organize this majority and when. Let me an swer both in one statement The studen'ts' party hereby extends, through me, the invitation to unify through it in order that your political purpose will be accomplished ! Automatically you ask, rWhat is this 'Student's Party;' and who are you to invite the fresh man class to join it? Now, I ask you if you read the letter in Friday's issue of the Daily Tar Heel.

But the Republican National committee spent around $5,000,000 on the "lost cause." Now the ' Democrats have wasted money on many of their different government projects. ' They have wasted as members of their party will admit mil lions. But they have, in value re ceived for the total amount, at least some parks, playgrounds, and dams to which they can point with pride:' . The Republicans have, for the money spent on this past cam paign, exactly nothing. For the year's most fruitless boondoggle we nominate the millions spent by the Republi can National committee. Daily Kansan Is For Course On (From the Daily Kansan) Perhaps one of the most seri ous faults with Joe College to day, is that he doesn't know how to study. He is intelligent and generally interested in the world about him, but he has never learned how to sit down and get an assignment in the most effi cient way.' The result is shown in low grades, lack of interest, and deficient knowledge stowed away for ready use, when, and if, he graduates. Most college students admit that their four years of high school was merely a lark in com parisons with the problems they meet in college classrooms. The average high school student gen erally breezes through to gradu ation. He emerges from his home town school with an over rated opinion of himself and his knowledge and is thoroughly convinced that he is ready to meet anything in life. He selects the college which he wishes to attend and sets off, afire With the zeal to burn up the campus in his studies and activities. He attends classes and receives assignments which are the first inklings of what is ahead. Unaccustomed to concen tration while studying and be wildered by the amount that is expected of himf he soon loses interest. The result is his grades are lower than his intelligence Also Working How To Study warrants. Perhaps by his junior year, he has learned how to study. Two years of college are prac tically wasted in this period of (Continued on last page RADIO By Bud Kornbltte WPTF 680 KC. 7:30 Dance Hour. 7:15 Musicale (NBC). 7:30 Sanford Syncopators. 7:35 Dinner Hour. 8:00 One Man's Family (NBC). 8:30 Committee for Constitutional Amendment. 8:45 United Press News. 9:00 Fred Allen's Town Hall To night (NBC). 10:00 Your Hit Parade (NBC).
