In the interest of a fair election, and ac cording to traditional policy, the regular ma chinery of the Tar Heel has of course been open to both sides. PLAYING THE GAME The Reverend Dr. Joseph F. Thorning of Em mitsburg, Maryland, believes in a New Spain un der General Franco. He told the freshmen yesterday. He spoke in assembly. If Dr. Thorning had been speaking for the CPU, attendance at his meeting would have been voluntary. . There would have been an open forum afterward. Attendance for the freshmen yesterday was compulsory. There was no forum. If the program-planners are going to use CPU speakers they ought to abide by the rules. LOST IN THE RUSH Lost in the mad scramble over personalities in today's election will be the no small matter of the revision in student government to provide for a campus legislature. The plan under voting consideration is simple and clear, promises the necessary efficiency, and opens a wedge in the campus governmental struc ture through which later generations may pour an increasing amount of democratic representa tion. " The .excuse for the legislature has been dis cussed in detail in previous editorials and in Presi dent Bob Magill's statement of last night which is appearing in this morning's paper. To pass today's proposal will be a step (long talked about) in the right direction. - Concert Pianist ; HORIZONTAL 1, 5 Famous rnodern p. pianist. . 11 Monkeys. -? 12 Stoning devices. 13 Endrcle&X.-r 14 Courtesy title. 15 Born. 16 Above. 18 Tumor. -7 , 19 Southeast 20 Tissue. 22 Spain. 24 To daub. 27 Lacerates, 4 29 Dregs.

I.I II! ii COME AGAIN - There were from 4,000-5,000 visitors to the campus this week-end, visitors interested in get ting a Sunday afternoon prospective of North Carolina's higher educational center. It is conjectural whether they came to breathe University tradition, bathe in the intellectual at mosphere, see Chapel Hill in the Spring, or tour the new gymnasium. A corps of student guides have been organized to lead the visitors to spots of interest and direct them through the maze of strange territory. Un der the leadership of R. M. Grumman, extension division head, and Roy Armstrong, pre-college guidance head, student guides are available as a courtesy to guests. - The "traffic-control" incident of last week is more than neutralized by this new. move. It has thrown a spotlight on what was a wide-spread case of chronic negligence.; i r The 'ftraffic-control" incident of last Sunday week is "a thing of the past," in more ways than one. ' , () Those In The Running () l ' By Donald Bishop Bob Perkins Gordon Burns ... Gordon Burns, University party candidate for editorship of the Caro- ina Magazine, unhesitatingly admits he magazine is the least xead publi cation on the campus, but he presents plan to provide the students with a magazine that will be worthy of he money they are forced to pay. "Its unpopularity lies in the obvious act that the editors in the past have been publishing reading matter which they feel that the campus should read, rather than what the campus really wants," he said. "Despite the fact that a patheti cally small number of students read he magazine, proportionately large fees are paid by the student body for its maintenance. If I am elected to the editorship of the magazine, I shall make it my aim to eliminate the ob jectionable material that has gone be tween its covers and substitute in its place a light, readable and more uni versally popular type of matter." He has a long record of activity in work on publications. On the staff of the Daily Tar Heel three years, he has been an editorial writer, re porter and technical worker. In this ast connection he is serving this year as one of three news editors. He has been on the Yackety-Yack staff one year and is secretaryq of the Univer sity club. . Burns was associate editor of this year's Freshman Handbook and a member of the Freshman Orientation committee. For two years he has been a member of the Carolina Political union and in his freshman year he was an executive committeeman, and member of the Freshman Friendship council. Keith Eutsler ... If Keith Eutsler is elected secretary-treasurer of the student body, a new position to be voted on today, his position will be nothing new for him, since he has one year's experience as student council secretary and two years' experience on the council. He was elected sophomore Student council member and at the end of last year the council selected him as hold over member. He was elected secre tary of the council and has held that job all this year. He was vice-president of his freshman class. Eutsler, a commerce major, comes from Goldsboro. He has made a name for himself athletically on Sigma Nu intramural teams and on the varsity baseball squad. When the Student council announc ed the night before nominations that candidates might be put up for the position to be voted on, the University party turned to Eutsler to fill the post. George Zink . . . George Zink, Student party candi date for head cheerleader, has an ex cellent record since he has been at the University. As secretary of the sophomore class he increased his pop ularity and served also as a member of the sophomore executive commit tee. Zink was presented with numerals for his work both in wrestling and in freshman track, and won the AAU wrestling championship. In winning the cake race last fall he set a new record for the event in 9:42 7-10. Vice-president of Ruffin dormitory, he also served on the Interdormitory council. - eluded membership on the freshman executive committee, in the Fresh man Friendship council, and football. This year he is in the Sophomore Y cabinet, the Order of. Sheiks, on the Yackety-Yack staff, and active in intramurals. At R. J. Reynolds High, school, Winston-Salem, Wood was president of his senior class. He was also active in student government, dramatics, de bating, publications, and the Hi-Y. Bill Dees... Endorsement of the proposed stu dent legislature wnich will be voted on at the general election today has been made by Bill Dees who is the University party's candidate "for the sophomore Student council post. Dees, who has been closely associat ed with student government since en tering here in the fall, said he be lieved the legislature would be a pro gressive step and would strengthen student control of student affairs and would increase interest in maintain ing the honor system and student government. When the freshmen elected their seven honor councilmen in the fall, Dees polled 280 votes, one less than the leading candidate. He has since taken an active part in upholding the honor system within his class. At Goldsboro High, school he was presi dent of the student body. This year he has also been treasurer of the Freshman Triendship council. His work with the Freshman Friendship council included an impor tant part in making the Religion-in-Life conference a success. He had charge of devotionals in freshman as sembly this year. He is continuing his high school interest in athletics by being out for freshman track this spring. Tommy Meder ... When Tommy Meder graduated from the Jamaica High school (en rollment oi v,uuu students) among other offices he had to his record the editorships of the school literary mag azine and the school annual. While a freshman here the. Student party's candidate for editor of the Carolina Magazine wrote a term paper. Most other freshmen write term papers, but this one was pub lished as a research paper in "Nel son's College Caravan," English text book used here and in colleges throughout the country. With these qualifying points as to his literary and editorial ability, Meder is also a member of the For eign Policy league, an English honors student, and has made no mark less than B in college so far. As he doesn't believe in knocking on doors before election he takes this as an opportunity to make a- state ment : "The Carolina Magazine has been far too heavy to be a representative publication of the students of the University. It needs a sane popular ization, an escape from pedantry, a return to the spirit of gayety that is a part of life in Chapel Hill a re turn to the students." Ml GAMPtjg NOMAD Voit Gflmore A PRESIDENT IN TOWN Sunday's New York 'Times": "Should he desire to take advantage of th the President has on his desk imitations to dress a dozen or more political and non.iu- . meetings and historical observances betweenS. "May (no date) Anniversary address of tv Carolina Political Union." 5 . Pressure Plus That made CPU members cheer at yesterday's meeting. To get on even the President's "pos. ble" itinerary is an achievement. ; Should Roosevelt come, there would likely be a banquet for 200 or so bigwigs at the Inn, preceded or followed by a presidential address in Kenaa stadium. Should he not come, hundreds of letters win have missed their mark. CPUers began last mer getting each of its past speakers, plus sym pathizers like Ambassador Josephus Daniels and Dr. Frank Graham, plus state officials, plus big businessmen, to write letters urging the Presi dent's visit to quaint Chapel Hill. Along with Sunday's "Times" are letters froa sources close to the President with an optimistic tone. In less than a month chances are good that we'll be entertaining the Old Boy himself. Fred Rippy . . . If created Tuesday hy campus vote, the office of secretary-treasurer of the Student council has the potential ity of being one of the most impor tant offices next to that of council president. For this office the Student party has chosen Fred Rippy, who, al though only a junior, is the present business manager of the Yackety- Yack. - . ' His freshman year Rippy was a member of his class executive com mittee and started work on the Yack ety-Yack staff. Hard work and ini tiative won for him the assistant busi ness managership on the annual his sophomore year and the job of full business manager his junior year. Other activities this year include University club, chairman of the Stu dent-Faculty day luncheon committee, and counsellor for the freshman ori entation committee. John Creedy . . . Hailed by his backers, who range from Bob Magill through Ramsay Potts and Mac Smith to Andy Ber shak, as "the only qualified candidate" for the Magazine editorship, John Creedy has been ignored by both par (Continued on lost page) On The Air Charlie Wood ... Charlie Wood, University party nominee for president of the junior class, yesterday issued an appeal for a large vote today and urged that the class members who live out in town cast their ballots. "Since my matriculation here two years ago, I have always been proud of my class, its members, and its spirit," he stated. "I want that loy alty to continue. I want every man in the class of 1940 to vote at the polls today, particularly the men who live out in town in private homes, those without direct contact with dor mitories and fraternities. These members form an integral part of our class, one-fourth in fact. Everybody vote,. for in that way the opinion of the class as a whole may manifest, it self.,' : . . "I sincerely hope that the fight will be clean and hard and may the better man win," he concluded.

Letters To The Editor Over 250 Words Subject to Cutting STAFF ELECTIONS To The Editor: Dear Sir: The Tar Heel boys were facing a problem when they got together one day last week to nominate Mac Smith's successor. Allen Merrill and Voit Gilmore were the only likely candidates, for the job, and despite the fact that they had both worked with the staff all year, it seemed evident that there were about a dozen boys who were not definitely convinced which would make the bet ter editor. Because it seemed to me that the staff shouldn't make a final decision if a good portion of them didn't know whom to vote for, I decided to make a speech. I was firmly convinced that the thing should go to a general campus election, and I was just as firmly convinced -that if anyone introduced a good reason for voting for either of the candi dates, it would determine the outcome of the nomination. Here's the gist of my speech: "We came here to nominate a candidate for editor of next year's Tar Heel, but we'll end up by either nominates Allen Merrill or electing Voit Gilmore. The ex planation is simple. The Student Party has put up Voit and the University Party has expressed the probable intention of backing the staff's nomi nee. Therefore if we support Voit chances are ten to one he'll have the backing of both political parties in addition to the endorsement of the staff; a combination which would be virtually unbeat able. Thus I say our nomination of him would be tantamount to his election. On the other hand if we nominate Allen, the University Party will probably support him (they actually have) and the Student Party will still be behind Voit,. necessitating a campus election. (At this point I explained, as I have above, why I thought it should go to a campus vote.) As a conclusion I asked, "Don't elect Voit Gilmore, nominate Allen Merrill." Four people got up to discuss my proposition, and all four spoke against it, contending for the most part, that it entirely did away with the staff prestige. No one agreed with me, my suggestion wasn't seconded, and Allen was nominated any way. Nevertheless there have been certain per sons who since that time have voiced the claim that enough of the fence straddlers were influ enced, by that speech to cinch things for Allen. I heartily disagree in this regard, but since they felt that the situation should be described, I have agreed to write this letter. DAVID STICK. GRADUATE STUDENTS To the Editor: m Unaccustomed as we are to active participate m campus politics we, nevertheless, feel that the issues involved in the race for editorship of the Carolina Magazine are such as to warrant our best effort in behalf of John Creedy. ine undersigned members of the graduate stu (Continued on last page)
