AN ANGLE ON THE
UNICAMERAL LEGISLATURE
(Editor's Note: Dr. John M. Booker feels keenly about
this year's version of a unicameral legislature. Over the
week-end he wishes students would consider the varied
ramifications of the new mode of government to be voted
on at Tuesday's elections. Following is just one view
point toward the revisions being considered.)
To The Editor:
Dear Sir:
This year's version of a unicameral legislature
differs from last year's in none of the essential
evils of unicameralism; but there is all the dif
ference in the way it is being put over.
Again we have the hand-picked group of men
assuming the duties, to which they were not
elected, of framing a constitution. But this year
they are attempting to put over in a ten-day
Putsch what went down to defeat last year after
seven months of hard driving. And they have
hitched to the annual election of student officers
the ratification of a constitution! Politically, a
clever move, our electorate will probably let it
pass unrebuked.
Any unicameral form of legislature lends itself
to easy manipulation and the concentration of
power in the hands of a few. Here are the more
obvious opportunities for manipulation in the
proposed legislature:
1. The majority quorum of a single chamber of
48 members that is, twenty-five permitting
passage of legislation by as few as thirteen votes
one over one-fourth of the total.
2. The fraternity block of five votes politically
well disciplined.
3. The block of ten representatives elected, not
by popular suffrage, but by the legislature.
4. The introduction of all bills, including those
called out of committee, by a ways and means
committee elected by the legislature.
5. The veto of 'the Student Councilnot re
stricted to constitutional issues capable of being
overridden only by a two-thirds majority, which
is equivalent to giving the Council a minimum of
seven votes (a two-thirds majority, 32, less a
majority, 27) and a maximum of 19 votes (32 less
a majority of a quorum, 13) on every bill vetoed,
completely scrambling legislative and judicial
functions.
With these opportunities and their knack of
electing class officers, who total sixteen represen
tatives, the "fifty men who run the campus" ought
to manage pretty well far, far better than with
the checks of a bicameral system.
Within the past year, we have heard warnings
from the President of the United States, at least
two cabinet officers, and leaders of both parties
against the menace of tyranny to world democ
racy and our own liberties. We have seen the pas
sage of a billion dollar defence bill. Just recently
we read the plea of Secretary Ickes for the edu
cation of our youth in and to our form of gov
ernment as a protective measure. Wouldn't it
be rather incongruous for our student body to
adopt a form of government that is a favorite
instrument of tyranny with Hitler and Mussolini
and the others of their ilk?
Very truly yours, ,
JOHN M. BOOKER.

() Those In The Running ()
By
Donald Bishop Bob Perkins
Bill Cole...
The most colorful and nerhans tbe
best known candidate on this year's
political slate is Bill Cole, who re
signed his position as head of the
Student party to become just a can
didate along with some 60 others.
For the past three years Cole. Stu
dent party candidate for president of
the senior class, has been in close
touch with the "political" pulse of the
campus. He has been prominent in
13 organizations, through which he
has had a chance to study their good
points and their faults. It is this
knowledge which has led to his sup
port of three policies, which if elected
he hopes to see not only put through,
but put into active practice.
1. The establishment and support
of a student legislature.
2. The publicizing of all class ac
tivities and business transactions.
3. The conversion of Bynum gym
nasium into a place for dating and
dancing.
During his freshman year Cole felt
the need for the establishment of an
other party on the campus, an organ
ization which through competition
would have the tendency to put well
qualified men into the offices, and
not let these offices be handed out as
mere political plums.
It was in his sophomore year that
Bill's newly organized Student party
put forth a complete slate. The par
ty's capture of the presidency of the
student body for their candidate as
well as other offices, encouraged con
tinuation of the party. This year the
keen competition of the two parties
has led to more interest in politics
and the campus issues than any other
year.
Among the organizations which
Cole r has had active contact as a
member are: Interdormitory council,
Freshman Friendship council, Sopho
more cabinet, Junior-Senior cabinet,
Student Welfare board, Carolina Po
litical union, chairman junior dance

committee, freshman executive com
mittee, sophomore executive commit
tee, Yackety-Yack, Buccaneer, Tar
Heel, and Campus cabinet. He also
has a Phi Beta average.
"Skipper" Bowles . . .
Though most of his previous his
tory has Monroe High school as a
locale, Hargrove "Skipper" Bowles,
University party nominee for presi
dent of the rising sophomore class,
now hails from Greensboro.
His outstanding record at Monroe
parallels the list of activities he has
been engaged in since enrolling here
last fall. In high school he was presi
dent of the senior class, president of
the Hi-Y, secretary of the sophomore
class, and on the staff of the school
newspaper.
Bowles polled 281 votes to lead a
field of 20 candidates in class honor
council elections in the fall quarter.
Much of the credit for success of the
recent week-end set of freshman
dances was given to Bowles, who is
chairman of the freshman dance com
mittee. Standing'on his record here and in
high school, Bowles believes he can
serve the class well as its next presi
dent. A University self-help student
during the fall quarter, he still holds
a part-time job in a down-town store.
Don Baker . . .
Don Baker, the Student party's
candidate for president of the sopho
more class, came to the University
this fall from a first class school as
a star football player and president
of his class.
So far this year he has taken an
active part in athletics on the campus.
He made the first string on the fresh
man football team, and in track ran
the relay and dash.
Last fall he was too interested in
sports to take an active part in other
activities, however his past experience
in high school as president of his
class shows that he does have ability
as an organizer.
Jim Hall ...
Jim Hall, Student party candidate
for president of the Athletic associa
tion, started his activities this year
working on Joe Patterson and Bob
Magill's freshman orientation com
mittee. Then followed the cross coun
try meet in which he became South
ern conference champ.
During the Christmas holidays he
went to Miami university, Oxford,
Ohio,. as a representative from Caro
lina of the YMCA.
Throughout the year he has served
on the junior-senior cabinet, as a
member of the Monogram club execu
tive committee, has been an outstand
ing member of the track team, and
was recently initiated into Delta
Sigma Phi, honorary commerce fra
ternity. Hall has expressed the opinion that
the student body has not been in close
enough contact with the Athletic as
sociation. If elected to the office he
hopes to change this situation and
bring about cooperation between the
students, whom he considers most
concerned, and their Athletic association.
Felix Markham . . .
Felix Markham, University partv
candidate for the presidency of next
year's senior class, said yesterday he
has conducted his campaign strictly in
the open, with no mud-slinging, and
will continue this policy in the rest
of the battle. Both parties had pre
viously announced their campaigns
would be conducted cleanly.
His class elected him treasurer last
year. As a freshman he began acquir
ing experience in supervising class
business. He served on the class exec
utive committee and was a member
of the Freshman Friendship council.
In addition, he played freshman bas
ketball. Markham is a member of the Uni
versity club and a self-help student:
His campaign promises are for effi
cient administration of the senior
presidency if elected.
Jack Fairley ...
Jack Fairley entered the Univer
sity with a name which his brother
had made prominent on the campus
as president of the student body.
But the Student party's candidate
for junior representative on the Stu
dent council is not running on his
brother's name. In the past two years
his ability as a worker on the campus
has been evident.
He has been a member of the
Freshman Friendship council, the
bophomore "Y" cabinet, the sopho
more executive committee, the debate
squad, the reading clerk of the Phi
assembly, member of the Universitv
club, and is a self-help student.

THE 1:30 CLASS
By Bob Perkins
BEST WEEK OF THE PAST MONTH
"Bluebeards Eighth Wife" (Sunday and Mon
day) may be one of the last of the fast-moving,
near slap-stick forms of humor which has run up
box-office returns in the past few months with
such successes as "Awful Truth," "True Confes
sion" and others.
It is made up of A-l stars Claudette Colbert and
Gary Cooper, polished technique, and a fairlr
clever basic idea. Although highly amusing in
spots, at times the plot becomes thin in substance.
Claudette is a French girl married to an Amer
ican multi-millionaire (Gary) whose violent dis
position has caused his previous wives to divorce
him. Her methods of taming him furnish the
high spots.
