etc., the other party loyals.
Now the question that's on everybody's lips is
just whether or not the little group of fraterni
ties who usually take a hand in freshman elec
tions on their own will run a ticket this fall. :
v-As far as can be discovered, they really don't
know themselves. There's a little trouble. It
seems that the story is out that the Student coun
cil wants to spring freshman elections very, very
early, say almost immediately, in order, just for
the sake of experiment, to catch all the political
machines off their watch.
This is. all right and -dandy for the Student
Party, so say the fraternity boys, because Cole's
crowd has had the benefit of the period of silence
in which to organize his forces. What's more, if
the elections come so very early, they'll come dur
ing rushing season when the fraternities will not
have finished pledging, won't know who to nom
inate in order to be sure that their "side" would
win, won't be able to control many Wes for they
certainly can't afford to dictate to the freshmen
they are delicately trying to "shake up."
Suppose the elections do come early, what can
they do? They can wash their hands of the whole
mess and wait until spring when the regular Uni
versity party will be engaging in the game. This
should leave them in a dignified position as com
pared to Cole's boys who will have gone ahead
with their freshman campaign. But on the other
hand, say some, if the fraternities do not parti
cipate this fall, the campus will take it that they
were scared, that they lost the, presidency of the
student body" (Magill was Student party man)
and are dropping out of the fight. The Univer
sity party will follow by denying it, of course,
continue to point out that it never did play fresh
.man politics in the first place, that they will be
strong in. the spring.
That the freshmen won't do any better job of
picking their officers (they'll vote prep school,
good looks, or home town lines) is generally
agreed, but the experiment might prove helpful,
make us appreciate ,and learn to use the device of
parties. Now would be an excellent time to try
preferential balloting, and pray that the "ultra-
democratic" scheme will get you out of the prob-

The qualities forming the ba

Rhodes in his will are: (1) lit
erary and scholastic ability and
to consider this discouraging
advice. Stacks of want ads lay
in futile array upon the floor,

l GUESS AGAIN
It seems that some poor innocent victims have
fallen heir to grief-that is rightly mine. One
aspiring young journalist was threatened with
physical violence last week after the appearance
of the first column. Life is not just in its distri
bution of retribution. Remember long ago we
studied "render unto Caesar that which is
Caesar's."
POINT OF ORDER
For years Mrs. Lawson has been famed around
Chapel Hill as being a reformer of everything.
Known of late for her crusade to forbid the wear
ing of shorts by perspiring summer school stu
dents, but remembered long as being the village's
number one jacker-upper and one woman "Watch
and Ward," Mrs. Lawson was seen early this
week violating University regulations by walking:
on the grass of the lower campus.
.,
AGREE
Gossip about the University building program
lists as new projects to be seriously considered
before we follow the trade cycle down again: two
new boys' dorms, new Playmakers theatre, com
pletion of Graham Memorial, new Y. M. C. A., and
possibly a new auditorium to handle the increas
ed enrollment. We'll still need a little gathering
place like Memorial hall just the same.
TRUTH
The real reason why Pete lvey wanted to have
a bon fire on Times Square last year was, ac
cording to the psychologists called in, due to the
fact that young lvey felt that New York hadnt
treated him right. He wanted to show 'em. He
wanted to put the biggest light on Times Square
they'd ever had. He warn't to be cast asperions
upon because he was a Tar Heel.

Barbara Harris complains that last week's
blurb has occasioned her no little inconvenience.
Taking literally her suggestion for more socializ
ing between upper and lower classes, several
freshmen have appointed her mother superior to
their class.
Bobby complains that the green ones approach
her with questions about how much they should
pay for a radio, what girls they should date. They
call her "mama." '
Since the maternalistic display, Miss Harris has
come out from behind those dark glasses so the
freshmen can really realize what a kind face she
has.

on just how people do talk. Old maids are the
proverbial gossips and according- to "Village
Chronicle" the members of the faculty are good
at the art of spreading rumors, but for supreme
story-telling the bets" can be safely laid on students.
Latest rumor that has been brought about is
the one of the marriage of Miss Virginia Lee and
Carl Pugh. The story is .untrue and no 'doubt
arose simply because the .two of them enjoy being
together, and consequently they are seen in com
pany often.
Others rumors of similar nature have gone the
rounds, causing considerable embarrassment to
the parties- concerned.
