ELLIS ANNOUNCES
CAMPAIGN STAND
Extension Of Debate
Phil Ellis, Student party candidate
for debate council, yesterday explain
ed the policies which he will follow if
elected in the balloting next Thurs
day. "It is my purpose, if elected to a
position on the Debate council," Ellis
said, "to fight for 'democratized debat
ing.' Having been active in debate dur
ing my first two years in college, I be
lieve that the activity should be given
its just place in extra-curricular cir
cles and I believe this can be done
only by adopting a debate council pol
icy of urging all, persons to partici
pate. At present, no one seems to
know how the council operates, or even
what it is. It is my aim to try to
remedy that situation by publicizing
all activities of the group, and at
tempting to interest everyone in de
bate. I believe that the students who
pay for the operation of the debate
council should know how the money is
used, and that they should be the ones
to benefit from its use instead of the
'closed corporations' of the past."
Ellis, a' junior this year, is a jour
nalism major. He ' transferred from
Eveleth Junior college, Eveleth, Minn.,
where he was a member of the Minne
sota state championship debating team
for two years, besides holding a posi
tion as editor of the college paper. At
present he is active in the Phi assem
bly and is a member of the staff of
the Freshman Handbook.

The business office of the Daily
Tar Heel will pay five cents for
each copy of the paper for Febru

School Exhibit
Is Flourishing
By JO JONES
The second annual North Carolina
school art exhibition, which opened
Sunday in Person Hall art gallery,
is composed of 270 pieces of work se
lected from 797 pieces by students in
19 elementary schools throughout the
state. The exhibition contains illus
trations in watercolor, chalk, and
crayon, modeling and carving, posters,
block printing, costume designs, in
terior designs, and surface pattern de
signs. The elementary school entries are
divided into two group levels, one for
grades 1, 2, and 3 and another for
grades 4, 5, and 6. Awards were made
in each section of both group levels.
The pieces in the exhibit cover a wide
range of subjects and show originality
and unusual powers of observation on
the part of the young artists. The en
tries are characterized by their bright
coloring and freedom of design. The
children seem to prefer doing people
and animals rather than landscapes;
however the few landscapes in the ex
hibit show the same originality as the
portraits and animal studies. The sun,

tists except under unusual - circum

For Harmon
UP Nominee Says
Editor Must Keep
Close To Campus
"The editor of the Daily Tar Heel
should fully realize his responsibility
as a representative of the entire cam
pus by keeping in close touch with
campus life and then by serving its
various needs as best he can through
the pages of the student paper."
DeWitt Barnett, nominated Wednes
day by the University party for the
Daily Tar Heel editorship, yesterday
made this statement as a preface to
an outline of the purpose of the paper
and his aims if elected as its editor.
DECLARATION
"The Daily Tar Heel serves as the
principal means for articulating stu
dent thought, opinion, and action," he
declared. "It should make every effort
to cooperate with both student and
faculty groups in making more pro
gressive campus democracy. Not only
should it be an agent of cooperation,
but it should be on the alert to take
the initiative in stimulating campus
thought and in inaugurating worth
while thought and action.'V
Barnett set forth three main func
tions which the paper should ,fulfiill:
1. Give the student body an interest
ing, informative account of what is
going in day by day.
2. Seek out and reflect student opin
ion on campus affairs.
3. Interpret and then take honest,
intelligent, constructive stands on is
sues vital to the student body.
REPRESENT ATrVE
"The Daily Tar Heel, being repre
sentative of and supported by the en
tire student body, should maintain a
policy which will assure all campus
groups or points of view appropriate
space in its news and. editorial co
lumns," Barnett continued.
In conclusion Barnett stated, "The
editor should feel it his responsibility
to cooperate closely with the repor
torial and technical staffs in putting
out a lively, efficient, and policy-consistent
newspaper."
Barnett is on the editorial board of

Simon Will Choose
All-Campus Band
George Simon, associate editor of
Metronome Magazine who is to judge
the "Battle of Swing" to be held one
week from tomorrow will select an all
campus band composed of the best in
strumentalists, vocalists and leaders
of the five bands participating. Simon,
who has had wide experience in re
viewing America's best in modern
music, once directed his own college
band at Harvard university.
Due to union difficulties, no broad
cast of the battle nor records of the
bands will be made. The big swing
session will start promptly at 3:15 in
Memorial hall. The admission price is
set at 35 cents with proceeds going to
the University band, which organiza
tion is sponsoring the contest.
Illinois Legislator
Concludes Institute
With Morning Talk
Dr. T. V. Smith, congressman from
Illinois, former professor of philos
ophy at the University of Chicago and
known as the "scholar of the house,"
closed the eight-day Human Relations
institute in Memorial hall yesterday
morning by presenting what he calls
the philosophical approach to the
problems facing' democracy today.
The clement Dr. Smith considers as
the greatest enemy of democracy and
civilization today is that of intensive
specialization in the industrial and,
particularly, in the professional fields
cpmbined with the lack of confidence
which this continued segregation fos
ters. This is shown, he says, by the
gaps which are growing not only
among the professions, but within
the professions themselves. Thus for
lack of contact there is a resultant
lack of sympathy and understanding,
which are requisites of a democracy.
He believes that this state of af
fairs will ultimately result in a "mor
al man and an immoral society." That
is, although the actions of the indi
vidual are moral in relation to his as
sociates, his attitude toward society
has the bad effect, of breaking down
the unity of the existing social order,
democracy.
DICTATORSHIPS
To Dr. Smith this segregation is
making us no better or even worse
than the dictatorships of Europe and
Asia. These nations have, at least,
preserved their national unity, while
we sit by and allow our social order
to disintegrate.
He says, then, "How shall we go
forward? Should we renounce division
of labor and professions?" He thinks
not, but suggests that we turn to
what he calls the American barn-yard
and pool-room politician. - In justify
ing this, he says, "The promise of
American life and the promise of
American politics are not divorced
from the promises of American poli
ticians . . . and it is the politician who
has the job of compromising prin
ciples without compromising himself."
'OUR TOWN' CAST
CONTINUES WORK
Drama WiU Begin
Series April 11
Rehearsals for the Playmaker pro
duction of : "Our Town" have ; ; besai
underway for several weeks and
preparations are now being made for
the presentation of Thornton Wilder's
drama on the nights of April 11, 12,
13, 14, and 15 at 8:30 in the Play
maker theater.
Ora Mae Davis, director of cos
tumes, has collected an amazing per
manent wardrobe for the . Playmak
ers but it required much supplemen
tation for the large "Our Town"
cast.
However, no costumes could be as
effective for the production as are
the authentic products of the period
that have been procured from a dress
maker of those days in Durham, and
from a forgotten country store about
ten miles down the road from Whit
akers. " . . ; .
COUNTRY STORE
The country store was found to
contain supplies of every kind and de
scription, which had been 4 purchased
during the days before the time of
such things as the automobile, and
this outdated stock supplied a great
wealth of articles to be purchased by
the Playm akers at bargain prices.
From the Durham dressmaker came
dresses and accessories of just the
right sort, made of expensive mate
rials. Among these articles of cloth
ing were: boudoir caps, hats, bed
jackets, "guimps," and even match
less wedding gowns.
Admission to the production will be
50 cents for students and 75 cents
for all others.
Good! Too Bad!
Classes will resume their regu
lar schedule this morning, begin
ning at 8:30,
There will be no Easter holidays.
