Refutes Charges In
Recent Editorial '
Freshman politicians are still

In answer to the editorial
"Spoils System" which appeared

Shore, Freshman class presi

"I wish to say, in regard to
the editorial "Spoils System,"
that there are certain funda
mental things which the writer
seems to have overlooked.
When a freshman is elected
president of his class at a uni
versity such as this, he knows
perhaps fifteen per cent of his
classmates. When the time comes
for appointments to committees,
he has no past university rec
ord to look at, on which to base
his choice. He has only the face
value of the individual to guide
him. In order to choose an ef
ficient group of committees, he
must, of necessity, choose the
majority from those who have
been associated with him in his
campaign; those whose work he
has observed, whose ability he
knows, and whose cooperation
he is sure of.

TAR HEELS ARE
FAVORITES TO
TAKE GOBBLERS
New Face Appears ,
In Carolina's
Starting Lineup
By SHELLEY ROLFE
Virginia Tech's football Gob
blers strut into Kenan stadium
at 2 o'clock this afternoon to
battle the University in the out
standing Southern conference
battle of the day. The Tar Heels,
seeking some sort of retribution
following the defeat by Duke
last week in the deciding game
of the '38 Southern conference
flag chase, are odds on favorites
to whip the Techs by two or
three touchdowns.
The game will be the seventh
of the season for Carolina, and
the Wolfmen go into it with a
record of four wins and two de
feats. Duke and Tulane adminis
tered the black-eyes while the
wins came over NYU, State, be
fore the Wolfpack had disinte
grated into a dissension-racked
outfit, Wake Forest, and David
son. TECH HAS 3 FOR 7
Virginia Tech on the upbeat
since the start of the season has
won three out of seven contests.
The biggest Gobbler achievement
was' crowning State 7-0 last
week in one of the South's ma
jor upsets. The men of Puss
Redd also boast wins over Wil
liam and Maryand Emory and
Henry. Army, Duke, Washington
and Lee, and Virginia have beat
en the Gobblers.
Coach Ray Wolf of the Caro
lina forces had nothing to say
about the game yesterday. "The
schedule calls for a game at 2
o'clock with Virginia Tech, we'll
have a team on the field," was as
far as he would commit himself.
