And during the course of a year those board

; which cover the cost of printing and photographs,
salaries of technicians and editors, and a number
of miscellaneous expenses. The board bargains
with printers, selects business managers and the
Tar Heel's managing editor, ses salaries, and
controls in general all expenses.
But in '33 and '34 things looked pretty bad. A
depression, economic professors agreed, had hit
the country. The publications had lost over four
thousand dollars in these two years, and even
though the P. U. board had built up a sizeable
surplus before then, the credit of the board suf

Tomorrow: Things To Avoid
Carolina Cooperative Store
"Styles of To-day toith a
Touch of Tomorrow" '
Dear Dad,
Quite a few exciting things have taken place
since I wrote you last (besides my studying) ; so
many, in fact, that I'm at a loss where to begin.
As the elections were the most important, I think
Td best tell you about them first. If I seem a bit
confused at times, bear with me, Dad, for better
men than I have become confused over politics as
practiced in college.
- You see, Dad, they take their elections serious
ly here at the university. Why, when we fresh-
men ran ours last week we became a campus is
sue! Two upperclassmen nearly had it out with
pistols.
But Tm getting ahead of my story, so I think
I'd better start at the beginning. Our elections
were run off especially early this year, Dad, in
order to insure against interference by upper
classmen. I thought at first that this was a very
silly reason: After all, why should upperclassmen
want to interfere with our little class election?
I underestimated our importance, though; it
seems we became an issue overnight. The nom
inations were held in Memorial hall during chapel
period so as to insure an attendance. The presi
dent of the student body called the meeting to or
der, explained to us why we were there, and then
opened the floor to nominations. As I understand'
it, the usual reason for nominations is to secure
orderly procedure out of what might be chaos.
Unfortunately, something must have gone wrong
at our meeting, for fifteen or more fellows arose
simultaneously and started to speak. Out of the
hub-bub I managed to hear several disjointed
phrases which, pierced together, sounded some
thing like this: "President of his . . . nominate
Upjohn . . . Pete Pite . . . best man . . . athlete,
gentleman, scholar, and sol . . . Upjohn . . . never
before in the history . . ., etc, etc." The resulting
noise was quite loud, and I couldn't help but
speculate on the thought that, with a little direc
tion and practice, the freshman class could have
a very fine glee club. ...
Somehow the nominations were straightened"
out (I guess the period bell had something to do
with it), and we were told to be sure to return
tomorrow, in order to learn the qualifications of
the candidates.
When.I awoke the next morning I immediately
pickebT up the daily paper and scanned the head
lines. I was surprised to see that the story on
freshman elections was featured Two names
stood out in the story. Surprisingly, these names
were those of upperclassmen. They seemed quite
excited over our little election. Why, the very
destiny of the university must have been at stake,
for these two fellows accused each, other of every
thing from treachery to upholding the Republi
can standard.
For this reason I was anxious to attend the
class meeting. When I arrived at the hall a great
uproar greeted me. Every second man was hand
ing out printed propaganda and whispering in
people's ears. I was shoved into the hall on sheer
momentum. .
Inside the auditorium were many new faces; it
seemed that the class had increased during the
night. When I sat down I found myself between
two huge fellows who immediately began a strug
gle for my body and soul. One pulled me by the
left arm and yelled, "Vote for Pite, he fights, vote
tor Pite, he fights?' The other nulled me bv the
right arm at least I think it was the right arm
-and nearly burst a blood vessel trvimr to get
the idea across to me that all would be lost if I
didn't support Upjohn. In my condition, I believe
Upjohn-should have supported me. If he was as
upstanding as my newly,found friend Dictured
him, Upjohn, would have made a fine, pillar for
my weary body
I was saved by the poundine of the president's
gavel. The first to secure the floor was one of
upjohns supporters. He crave a short sneech. It
might have been longer, but the poor chap wasn't
given a chance. In a pleading tone he beseehed
us to vote, for Upjohn because Upjohn's father's
father had played right end on his dormitory
team. He further stated that Upjohn "stands on
his record." These WPTP hi a loot mmovlrs
The next two speakers mentioned something
about parties, hands off, and politics. They, too,
ended with the words "stands on his record."
he remaining speeches were on the same tack.
Determined to get to the bottom of this record?
Dusmess, I spent the afternoon seeking out the
candidates and asking them about their qualifi
cations. A monstrous plot seemed in the offing
for they all emphasized the fact that they denied
outside affiliations, they were "on their own,"
and they stood "on their record."
m Things are quieter now, (especially those even
ings when the electric lights do not suddenly go
out) but Im looking forward to spring when the
?PedUre be seated on a larger scale.
At that time I'll be able to become more f ully ac
