One by one the trembling neophytes were being forced to stand out in the front yard dur ing the day to stop all passing strangers (any age and size) : "Pardon me, but wouldn't you all like to come inside and look through the Kappa Sigma house?". . Freshman Jud-Punn from Winston-Salem was on duty in the mid-afternoon. Down the street came prancing a little fel low with a Northern brogue on his face. "Pardon me, suh but wouldn't you like to stop and come inside? This is the Kappa Sig fraternity house' . ' The slight stranger came to a decided halt, looked up ; at the frat house and drew back. "My father's dead, sir, and we haven't much money. My mother told me I'd better stay away from these fraternities . . . Thanks, just the same . Progress LAST NIGHT THE institute ended. After a week of heavy tfire. from big guns we'll start set tling down again to digestion and further ap preciation oft the; big guns around here. For , the firstj.time in the history of the insti tute a local University professor appeared on the lecture program But besides Dr. Zimmermann Monday night,, tjtiere were Dr. Murchison and Senator Bailey both in some respects "local boys." The Institute was begun in 1927 as a four-year proposition. Institutes occurred in 1931 and 1935 accordingly. The 1937, session was our first ex periment with the Institute on a two-year sche dule and the results certainly were happy enough to insure our having another in 1939 sharp. Also for the, first time this session, "Educa tion" was included as one of the four major fields under discussion ; (along with the regular ones : human relations: in , government, industry, and race) . Indeed, - the "education" field brought us the most interesting, colorful speaker of the week, John Rice of 3$lack Mountain college. The Univer sity administration might well subsidize Brother Rice to keep sticking puis in the faculty. Besides the customary variety of attitudes ex pressed by the: group , of speakers and the ade quacy of the; institute library exhibits, there was this year a strenuous attempt to increase the span of the classroom seminars schedule. And last among the . "new" characteristics of the immediate institute was the wide representa tion of student interest in promoting the whole program. Besides the individual efforts of the re presentative5 student committee, , there were at least 10 campus organizations (two classes, var ious orders," the Student Union, etc.) who contri buted heavily to .the .institute budget. Only one of the wealthy national foundations had a share . in our tea-party, this time ; last institute, three. , This year's session marked the widest student body support of the "Y", instigated project in the institute's history.. Like President Graham told Stanley High as the two were walking out of Memorial hall, 'The beauty of this thing is that it's a student enterprisa They are doing all this."

Dont add to our troubles Dyxauin chancer ATTEND NOMINATIONS TOMORROW W Hayden Clements Of The Buccaneer Likes Staff Elections Proposal By HAyden Clement 1. Should the publication staff elect its editor? Why? The fans at a football game seldom see the blocking back who makes, gains possible. ' Just so, the campus often does not see "the behind the scenes" work, which frequently distinguishes between a good publication, and a poor one. Relatively, the read er is oblivious to everything but the piece of work he is reading, and the author of it. He has no way of knowing the mechanics which shaped the publications, and figured in its planning. On ly the staff members are in a po sition to determine the different amounts of work done by the other members. Another reason I favor staff elections will be tak en up, in what I consider to be the fundamental qualifications of an editor. 2. What should be the qualifi cations of an editor? An ed itor should be able to : (1) Write well, although it is not necessary that he be the best writer on the staff. (2) Distinguish between good and bad copy. (3) I Get work out of the staff, for after all, he can't put out a publication by himself. (4) 1 Plan a neat, well balanced "dummy," or in other words, have a definite sense of propor tion. (5) In the case where there are contributions outside of the staff, secure material representa tive of the campus at large. 1 (6) Put out a publication which: will hold interest. There are numerous other re quisites of an editor, such as honesty, tenacity, alertness, etc., but I have tried to approach it from a concrete standpoint. I might add, moreover, that I think it preferable, but not ne cessary, that , the editor have some definite purpose, a policy in other words, rather than try to put out a publication with no fixed aim. Staff Best Qualified In retrospect, the qualifica tions for editor which I have list ed can best be determined by the staff rather than the campus. It is for this reason that I favor staff elections. 3. What should be the qualifi- . cations of the members of the staff that they may vote to elect? In the case of the Daily Tar Heel, no one should have the vote who does not consistently hand in the work assigned to him, and who does not work on his "beat." As for the Yackety Yack, I favor giving only the division heads the vote. To some extent, politics can be- eliminated by this. The Buccaneer and the Maga zine should entitle only those to vote who regularly hand in con tributions, and have been on the staff for at least two issues be fore election. Furthermore, I prefer giving the business manager a vote, for since he and the editor should work in harmony, he should have some choice in the matter. 4. How can the possibility of packing the staff be mini- ;mized? ' I don't believe that it can. An honest editor cares more for the quality of his publication than whether his friends are on the staff. With a dishonest editor, it can't be minimized.
