" ; eiiin: Ybted Ubob TonisrJit NEW PAMPHLET BY WEAVER, HAMMER GAINS RECOGNITION Publication To Be Used In Course At Columbia A pamphlet written this year by Fred Weaver and Phillip G; Hammer explaining self-government at the University is rapidly gaining recog nition as marking a new milestone in the history of student government. The Columbia Teachers' college has asked that 100 copies of the pamphlet be sent to its library, so that they might be used as reference in connection with a course in stu dent government. Among the other associations and institutions which sent for copies were the American Association of Deans and Advisors of Men and the University of Florida. In the October 15 issue of the pub licatiori of the National Student Fed eration, a review of the pamphlet was printed, praising the work of Weaver and Hammer. After telling of the substance of the leaflet, the re viewer concluded by lauding the pub lication in the following words: "The work of Mr. Weaver , and Mr. Ham mer provides an admirable model for work which may be done on other campuses. A body of information gathered from such reports from in stitutions over the country would make available the genuine survey of student government procedures, tech niques, and values." This present explanation of stu dent government at the"?Unersit"is not the first of its kind, however. Jeff Fordham, president : of the student body in 1937, published the first book let during that year. Maine Albright issued a pamphlet in 1931, giving fur ther information, arid explaining the progress of the student government. With its two preceding booklets, the pamphlet written by Weaver and Hammer has shown the position which ; the student government at the Uni- versity( maintains in comparison with the 'other colleges of the country The booklet points out ' that through "in dividual responsibility' the student at North r Carolma - leads - a' unique col lege life. The privileges enjoyed by the undergraduates here are' un equaled by any other university. As co-authors Weaver and Ham mer point out, "This University en deavors to' bring young people into manhood by education. One of the primary attributes of manhood is independent or self-determining re sponsibility." , - For Years By FRANK GOLDSMITH "Tarzan's famous yell is as much a part of North Carolina football equipment as tape, helmet, and shoe strings," according to Jack Miley in his article "Yaahoo Football Trailers" which is run in the November 17 is sue of Ken Magazine. No true Carolina rooter need be ac quainted with "Tarzan's" ear splitting cry which rents the air every time a Tar Heel eleven takes to the gridiron, but Mr. Miley goes farther into the background of the "loudest one man cheering section." According to the article, between Carolina games "Tar zan" or Lathe Morris, a native Texan, works for a living on a tobacco farm down in Farmville, North Carolina. But as soon as Ray Wolf's Tar Heel outfit goes into action late in Sep tember Morris is on his way to Kenan stadium to hog call the Carolina eleven to victory. His wife has be come more or less resigned to her hus band's peculiar hobby, having en- veigled him into giving her a new dress every time he goes' to a' game.

About 25 National Youth ad ministration students will canvass each dormitory room, during the course of the' evening. There are three questions to be an swered by the dorm residents. The first is: Do you approve of the Uni versity's regulation which prohibits commercial solicitors from canvassing dormitory rooms? The second is: Should self-help students, approved by the University self-help commit tee, be allowed to canvass dormitory rooms as representatives of com mercial firms? The question which led to the con ducting of the poll concerns the sell ing of newspaper subscriptions. It is stated as the following r Would you object to self-help students, approved by the University self-help commit tee, canvassing dormitory rooms for subscriptions to the daily papers dur ing the first week of each academic quarter between the hours of 8:30 11:30 p. m.? When several officials on the cam pus were interviewed concerning the poll, they reminded that the Univer sity enforced the soliciting regula tion, because of the continuous flow of salesmen of all types who were disturbing the students in the midst of studying.
