To Help Something Better Grow Candid Candidates By Gordon Burns o Two Boxes rTHE PROPOSAL FOR AN extra balloting booth to be placed down in the dormitory quad rangles during the campus elections next Thurs day may not reek with as much impracticality as first mention of it would indicate. Telephone connections, open continuously all day, would keep Graham Memorial and the Pre cinct No. 1 booth in direct touch, so that, with a second's time off for each voter, duplication could be prevented. ! Recent past elections have failed to attract the vast majority of the student electorate to the polls; the immediate political fray, of course, will help matters some. But with two places to vote, certainly more than 500 out of 3,000 will exercise their "suffrage. o New Ballot riES AND REUBEN want to see their respec tive senior and junior executive committees nominate the class dance leaders and commence ment marshals ... to be voted upon Thursday. With no intent to be un-democratie, they want to see, instead that enough consideration is given the nominations in advance that the class work ers will really be brought out and recognized on the ballots. And the scheduling of the election on the same day with the general campus elections will cer tainly produce a larger class vote on the matter than could any special class meeting with but the usual 75 or so (all on our side) present. Politics or no politics 500 votes certainly give more ac curately the wishes of any electorate than just 75 votes. o in the 10th Grade When the English department recently exam ined a group of students mostly juniors and seniors having composition conditions many of them were found to have results in some of the tests barely equal to 10th to 12th grade high school requirements. Others of these" upperclass inen displayed an ability no higher than fresh man or sophomore college requirements. For such students reading an advanced ext book would be difficult. English Bagby, professor of; psychology, feels that many of the failures in college are caused by this deficient command of the English language, and a consequent inability to comprehend assigned text-book readings. Dr. Bagby suggests that a strict test be given by the English department to all entering fresh men, and those seriously deficient be required to take only the following special course during their first quarter; a course in composition, and one in reading and study under the English department ; a review course in mathematics ; and special train ing in study methods. This course, Dr. Bagby believes, would elimi : nate the student who is unable to understand what he is supposed to be studying. At present the University gives no training in : study methods at all.- Tete" Mullis "I believe that the office is just as big as" the man who holds it . . . and I don't mean physically big,' said Clyde E. "Pete Mullis yesterday, University party nominee for vice-president of the student body. "The position can be made just what the man who holds it wants to make it,' asserted Mullis. It is not my policy to make a lot of promises that would be difficult or cannot be fulfilled. Although I cannot very well express my views until I am in office, I do have some ideas that, if elected, I would like to see put into effect. However, if elected, I will not make it my policy to create situations, but will take them as they arise. Works After Election "It has been the custom many times in the past for candidates to do all their work before elec tion and then when they have the job to exert themselves no fur-r ther. For myself, my job, if I'm elected, will begin when I go in to office." In conclusion, Mullis declared, "If elected, I wish it to be by a large majority and if defeated I hope it will be by a large major ity. I think the campus should either want the man very much or not want him at all." Mullis' qualifications are as follows: President of his freshman class, one of founders of the freshman honor council, mem ber of freshman basketball team, member of student council, mem ber sophomore dance committee, Monogram club executive com mittee, vice president of Mono gram club, mid-Atlantic cham pion diver, member of sopho more and junior class executive committees, steering committee of University party 1936, and adviser to committee 1937. Relations Institute Personalities o By Vorr Gilmose James Thomson ShotweH Few historians that could have been secured for the institute of Human Relations could have as impressive background for a dis cussion of "The World Today in the Light of History" as Dr. James T. ShotweJL Born in Ontario, he took his PhJ). at Columbia and later LLJVs at both Columbia and the University of Western On tario. Today, he is president of the League of Nations associa tion, Inc., of America.

Last year I spent hours waiting for one of the clay courts which non-squad players were allowed to use, and I phil osophically resigned myself to the unpleasant situation. I thought then that four courts were far too few for so many decent players who came out every day in the spring, but imagine my re actions now when it has come to pass that we non-varsity tennis enthusiasts are allotted only two of the entire 12 courts, plus a number of broken down asphalt courts that my kid sisters would be ashamed to play on. Of the total 12 courts, six are alloted to the varsity for the entire after noon, two are for the freshmen, two more are reserved for grad uate students and faculty mem bers, leaving tic 0 for the entire student body outside of the twenty ranking varsity and ten ranking freshman members. I do not begrudge the freshmen and graduates their courts, but the idea of the varsity keeping six courts the entire afternoon goes against the grain. Last spring the ranking freshman and varsity players shared courts one through six without any congestion. Has the varsity become so much more important SALVE By Stuart Rabb IT CANT HAPPEN The most powerful man in the United States is Mr. Justice Roberts. He is a dictator. He is the man who determines the policies of the Supreme Court. He is a virtual Mussolini. Representative Schwellenbach says so. Representative Schwellenbach is one of the gentlemen interest ed in getting through Mr. Roose velt's court-reform bill. Repre sentative Schwellenbach works for Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Roose , velt is the man who tells the House of Representatives what to do. Mr. Roosevelt also tells the Senate what to do. He also tells the several states what to do. Most of the time the Senate and the several states do what he says. Now and then the Sen ate and the several states do not agree with Mr. Roosevelt They commit the awful blasphemy of repudiation of the Great Man. But generally Mr. Roosevelt gets them, one way or another. The Supreme Court used to think that is was independent. The Court did not depend on Mr. Roosevelt for relief money and new post offices and new dog pounds. The Court read the Constitution and did as it pleased. Mr. Roosevelt wants to change all that. He wants to fix it so he can tell the court what to do as well as the House and the Senate and the several states. To do this Mr. Roosevelt had better get rid of that dictator, Mr. Justice Roberts. The first thing you know, if Mr. Roose velt dosen't get rid of Mr. Jus tice Roberts, we will have a dictator. since then that they rate the en tire six all evening lond? I do not underestimate the importance of our varsity tennis team, but it does not seem fair to make life a bowl of cherries for them at the expense of so many others. If there were only a few who play ed tennis outside of the ranking freshmen and varsity, there would be no cause for squawking, but the huge number of others is evident to anyone who will take the trouble to come down to the courts around three some af ternoon. And anyone can vouch for me that playing on the poor excuse for asphalt courts is far from a pleasure. Trusting that those this letter concerns will take heed and do something about this unpleasant situation, I am, . E. G. Not In The News Campus Notes & Comment By Mac Smith O Subsidized Salesmen To the Editor, The Daily Tab Heel: In regards to the editorial en titled "Subsidizing Salesmen" I should like to state that is the most stupid argument I have seen in the Daily Tab Heel and there have certainly been some stupid ones in this paper. What would you have us do with the fees that we have paid for the dances, have a weiner roast? For years the members of the Junior-Senior classes who do not dance have been selling their bids. These non-dancing mem bers do not pay a cent for these dances. If we have a good or chestra the price of the bids would rise in proportion. Wheth er you have a good orchestra or a bad one we are still going to have "Subsidized Salesmen." We paid our class fees with the expectation of having an enjoy able set of dances. I can't see that it is any business of the Daily Tab Heel, provided the majority of the classes approve how much we spend for dances. I think we all agree that $3,000 is too much to spend for dances. However each student has already paid 2 or $3 for the dances and if we cannot get a good band for this amount then we should spend a dollar or more and get a good band. The money collected in class fees is already spent, as far as the members of the class are concerned. Then why not spend a little more and make a good investment. Judging from the editorial it is proper to assume that good music means nothing to some of the members of the Daily Tab Heel staff. It seems that it would make little difference to them whether we have the "Hoo sier Hot Shots" or Ray Noble. Some students enjoy dancing to good music Maybe we are in the minority. Let us call a class meeting and see. We could spend $100 for a lo cal orchestra and give the re mainder collected in class fees to the Tab Heel to hire a "Subsi dized Editorial Board."

JOKE Yesterday was April 1. Early in the morning, the phone rang at the University News Bureau. Was it true that Secretary Wallace couldn't come down for the Weil Lectures and that President Roosevelt was go ing to substitute for him? "No," said Mr. Madry, "we don't know anything about it, yet" The News Bureau went fast to work on the story. Meanwhile 10 or more other calls kept com ing in during the morning. Is Mr. Roosevelt really coming to night? One Long Distance call demanded the truth. The News Bureau was work ing on the story. Over at the "Y" there had been a telephone call for Trez Yeatman, student chairman , of the Institute. Yes, this is Washington calling Cha pel Hill: for Mr. Trez Yeatman, chairman of the Human Rela tions Institute -. Mr. Yeatman, we're sorry, is on class. Could Harry Comer the secretary of the Institute take the message? Hello. Hello. This is Washing ton. This is Mclntyre, secretary to the President. Did you get our telegram saying that the President would have to substi tute for Mr. Wallace down there tonight? No? "Whom did you send the tele gram to?" asked Mr. Comer. The heavy voice on the other end of the line faltered and then something broke the connection! Comer caught the joke. But then all day came these calls to the "Y" office and the re porters from the News Bureau! What about it? Well, Wallace came, anyway. SWAP University Party can didate for the P. U.
