Teams Debate Centralization Of Government Tangling over the old American problem, "Resolved, That the present trend towards centralization of power in the Federal government is for the best interests of the nation," Carolina and Swarthmore debating teams met last night in Gerrard. hall for a vigor ous session. In opening the argument for the af firmative, Bill Capurn, of the visit ing squad, charged that the state gov ernments were "behind the times" and that tht depression of 1929 was an example of the consequences of inef fective state control. ""He urged that we take fuller advantage of the "elas tic clause" of the Constitution,, be cause many economic units (referring to big corporations, monopolies, and commodities) have extended over the state boundaries. Upholding the negative side for Carolina, Charlie Johnson warned that a highly-central ized government leads See DEBATERS, page 2. Students Want To By Bucky As the campus prepared for the most politically active weekend so far this year, the Daily Tar Heel yesterday delved into student opinion on the cheer leader controversy and found that only 23 per cent of those questioned support the main provisions of the pending legislative bill. The proposal to take the head cheerleaders office entirely out of campus elections rated lowest of three possible alternatives. Highest at 44 per cent was Dave Morrison's plan for allowing the Athletic council, with the aid of the outgoing cheerleader, to nominate eligible candi dates and let the student body take its choice in general elections. Adhering to the status quo, some 33 per cent favored the present system of political party "nominations. I - As to the rest of the squad, 52 per cent wanted the head cheerleader to make his own choices and 48 per cent would let four sophomores and two ju niors be chosen by the Athletic council. -. l Ml A.

Until this year the choices of the secret nominating committee, appoint ed by the president, have been pub lished prior to the regular nominat ing date. Now the committee, still in cognito, will make its nominations from the floor as individuals ' along with independent spokesmen. The purpose of the new rule is to erase the possibility of the commit tee's nominee's having an unfair ad vantage merely because the committee had chosen them. Primary Elections 6n April 8 Primary elections for WTA officers, May queen, and the ten outstanding senior coeds on the campus will be held April 8 and new officers and the other honor winners will be installed and presented at a dance April 19.

Officers of the association- for this year have been Jane McMasters, Sara Sawyer, Anne Williams, and Mary Velna Winslow. General business still pending will also be disposed of at the meeting.

League for Crippled Chil dren have been set up over Bruce's department store in preparation for the Easter Drive. Framed "Share of Happiness" certificates in five, ten, twenty-five, and fifty dollar denomi nations are to be given in return for contributions of those amounts.

And Let Profs Cheerleaders While Dave Morrison's student committee waits'f or its conference with the faculty on the issue of class cuts, the Tar Heel special poll disclosed yesterday that over 33 per cent of the student body would regulate absences by allowing individual instructors complete freedom in setting and enforcing their own rules. This alternative, the highest of five possible answers, received just 8 per cent more support than the system in effect before stringent rules made some" years ago were revived by several departments. This '30 per cent favored letting the University set general rules with a moderate degree of optional attendance, such as permitting the same number of cuts as the" course has hours: " - - . . s Not a Vote for Compulsory Presence Surprising was the meager 14 per cent support accorded complete freedom of class attendance with no rules of any kind. Some 18 per cent approved allowing each department to set and enforce its own rules as the English department is now doing. ' Not a single student questioned favored the University's setting and en forcing a strict rule of no optional attendance. ji Besy . i i win nni ii i mi mi hi m urn ii bii jii.hijm mifi r J ::':-v.-: ' .-. .-.-.v.'.v ; I I A 4.

"The delightful worlds in which children live are revealed in this ex hibit," said Allcott. "Two equally real parts of a child's world are shown the actual scenes that he views, and the magical world of his imagination Allcott Comments, "No Cruelty" Artistically, the work in the show is amazingly good, he - commented. "No confusion in space design is ap parent; no blanks are left in the pic tures, The clay figures that the chil dren have made are animated they are alive; yet with an interesting un reality. Most significant thing to me is that no cruelty i3 expressed in any of the children's work." - - Dress - designs, linoleum block prints, sculpture, printed cloths, sten cil prints and textile ... designs are shown in the collection, as well as paintings.

Both Tar Heels dropped close deci sions, Sanders to Laune Erickson and Kimball to Louis Campbell.

Sanders, fighting at 165, rushed his opponent throughout the first and second . rounds. But the defending Idaho champion held off the valiant redhead and scored heavily with ef fective counter-punching. In the third Erickson ir- lead, connect ing with a barr i . efts and rights which held Hi, t-oay. preventing him from moving in and connecting with his powerful short choppy strokes. In the closing seconds, Erick son connected with two hard lefts and a wicked right that carried the round , by a large margin. Gates Kimball, fighting" in the heavyweight slot, put up the most " courageous battle of the evening against Louis Campbell, .Southeast-e-rn Louisiana champ. Twice Camp bell connected with murderous round houses that knocked Kimball down for counts of nine. Kimball came back stronger- each time and carried the fight all the way. It. was Campbell's right that did most damage to Kim ball.
