For This News: FRED CAZEL 44 We ought to do our neighbor all the will be done to you; but if you do evil, you again." Pilpay. o A' Step Forward Reorganization a. familiar word in student government this year crossed the front pages of the Daily Tar Heel again yes terday morning as Jane McMaster and Mary Caldwell, the out going and incoming presidents of the Woman's association, an nounced a complete reorganization of coed student government. The actual steps that the women leaders have proposed are, in themselves radical moves a reorganization that will wipe away many of the outmoded and worn institutions. The Woman's as sociation itself will be abolished; a new, revitalized dormitory council will move into the fore ; and a coed student legislature will handle all general law-making. The honor council membership will be revised, but will remain essentially the same as it has before. ' The democracy that has been demanded of women leaders all year has finally been offered. Here, McMaster and Caldwell have a plan that will make more coeds take a part in their own self government, that will spread out authority and provide an efficient, effective system. , The move, if adopted, will mark the second great step in student government on the campus within a single year. Most significant fact about the measures is the formation of a woman's legislature. To an observer ofthe structure of campus self-government, it is evident that a coed legislature has no place along with the wide powers, already vested in the men's law making body. Yet, as Mary Caldwell, new prexy, pointed out, this step is merely the intermediate stage for a complete combination of all woman's government with that of the men. Abolition of the Woman's association will come as a relief to those who attended and listened to the awkward procedure and to those who had to manage with a bulky, weighty group at the meet ings. The organization is not fit for a student body of 800, which the coeds will total next year, jior is it even nearly as effective as specialized division of powers. The proposals of McMaster and Caldwell are almost revolution ary in character. Yet, should the coeds decide to adopt the change, it will mark a step toward freedom and responsibility and demo cratic efficiency, as women students slowly move away from the reactionary, autocratic rule of the past. , An Inch for a Mile Two days ago when we announced our editorial policy, one of the axes we promised to grind was adequate lighting for the library. "For two years now," we asserted, "there has been lots of talk but little action." We were a little chagrined two days later when Assistant Con troller L. B. Rogerson blandly disclosed that the University had inveigled the necessary $3,800 from the state legislature at its session last quarter, and was already laying plans to have new bulbs and lamps installed. Our embarrassment was worth the lighting. s One thing we are sure of is that the legislature has not granted the construction of the 'wing to the library. For months now library officials have had to pile books on the floors of the stacks because there is no room on the shelves. Priceless volumes of the Southern Historical association, with which the University has been entrusted, cannot be sufficiently cared for. We won't include the library wing in our axes. We figure that if President Graham and Controller Carmichael haven't yet been able to convince' the legislature that the University must have it, the Tar Heel could hardly expect to be immediately successful. We just like periodically to refresh the minds of the assembly that although they've given us an inch, we need a mile. New Inter-Campus Council Mag Editor Henry Moll yesterday announced a unique new com mittee to help him put out his issue every month. ' Made up of just about every big-wig office-holder in the student body; Moll's Carolina InterCampus Council will pick out three men monthly for recognition of distinctive service to the campus. For many years now, we have had students on our campus who have worked diligently on their jobs, some never making the head lines and yet, at the same time, always getting some constructive work done.

Walter Spearman and his assistants . have worked diligently to make the two day convention both entertaining and educational. Nothing has been left unturned. The Daily Tar Heel extends a cor dial welcome to all visitors. Any as piring high school journalist who would like to discuss their problems with us are invited to drop by the office. We will be glad to . help them in any way that we can. Students who have worked on high school publica tions are always a valuable asset to college papers after they leave their homes to enter schools of higher learning. We also hope that the visitors en joy themselves on the side. There is much to be seen at Chapel Hill. Of course it rained; but don't mind that, it's a custom around here when there's a dance weekend. STAR Again "Music Under MUSIC the Stars" has taken over Kenan stadium for Sunday nights. We approve of Kenan stadium. We approve of the stars. We even approve of Fish Worley. But we approve of music with reservations. It would be just too bad to 'have, happen this year what happened last year. So we make a warning. We want slow music, slow, slow, very slow music. This means especially we don't want fast music with those long rattliffg drumbeats. One time last year a noise suddenly boomed forth like a shotgun Bang, bang! Well, a lot of the audience had been down to Kenan stadium on other nights, when there was only the music of elms, grass, and mosquitoes. But his shotgun shooting. In half a min ute the male population of the audi ence had taken to the trees. So, we ike Kenan stadium, the stars, and Fish Worley. But please no marches witht made drummers, huh ? SMALL This morning at 11 TALK o'clock Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra will be out to prove that they can play something besides Do I Worry?" - and "Marie." Our maestro has accepted a challenge from Johnny Scatterfield and his up- and-coming Softball team to play a game today, to prove the champion ship of the music world. Don't worry, well all be out to see how that team can "swing" at nome piate. watcn out, Buddy, a baseball ain't exactly as big as a bass drum. In the headlines we find that the: GREEKS SAY THEIR NATION WILL LIVE Which it undoubtedly will. However, to date they have failed . . To make any provision for its in habitants. Also we discovered that: IL DUCE EXTOLLS VICTORIOUS ARMY It's pretty nice, and he ought to be happy, because even if it isn't his fault, at least ... He has something to talk about again. . After those two we turned over the page only to come face to face with' a full page ad guaranteeing us new fighting blood in nine days. The gen eral idea is to take little pills which are crammed full of vim, vigor, vital ity, vitamins, and red corpuscles. All we got to say is that under the present conditions ... They might sell that stuff to the army. Then we ran into another one of year, these students haven't been- in the limelight as much as others, and are ultimately left out. Of ten, true, they have been given their due recognition, but the timeliness-of the occasion is far away from the actual deed. Moll's idea will serve as a stimulus for many campus leaders, who might tend to lay in a lethargic dogma, if they consider their work already accomplished. Ordinarily, reward should not be the primary cause for men to get work done. But, unfortunately, we live in a world where social approval plays an important part, and we must give credit where credit is due. The recognition awards will be effective, if the committee chooses men and women who have really contributed outstanding service to the campus during the month before the issue appears. Better than merely praising the present student body officers, as the tendency might go, would be to find relatively obscure persons who plug away quietly, and in the long run do as much as the recognized leaders.

University band members meet at 1:45 this afternoon for a business ses sion in Hill Music hall. VISITORS (Continued from first page) after these visits, praise reigns for the friendly spirit which is ever-present here. This fifth annual meeting of the North Carolina Press institute has attracted hundreds of high school stu dents to the campus, and after the splendid welcome we received yester day afternoon, I feel like this is a long-sought spot, one where I could put up for a long time, and still be reluctant to leave when the time comes. Looking through the catalogue sent out by the University, I have been as tounded to note the wide curriculum which is offered. Such outstanding scholastic advantages make Carolina a college with great attractions, but in my opinion the greatest asset of the University was not mentioned. That asset is friendly students, and faculty members. Without it Caro lina would be just another university, but with it, she stands in a class all her own. XL. 5 U R A tLJT J.O.E later dkp!ilE4I My av By Elsie Lyo Orchids and the essence of sri in Chapel Hill should go to Marf Caldwell and Jane McMaster ford ing something about that ctgrc and inefficient organization called ti Woman's association. e For the last few years, the associa tion has been bumping along fcTce J car with three wheels. Formed whea there were some 25 coeds who reeded to band together for mututal protec. tion from the predatory males, it has long been outgrown and never could quite catch up with the needs of 600 coeds. Overworked pack horses have been the coeds luckv enontrh tn. k , " - cietxec to the women's honor council. And i.i ; j A. t tne president, oesiaes Deing a mem ber of some 20-odd committees, been expected to minister to the seeds of 600 coed charges. The present honor council has been an all-holy body which struck terror into the hearts of the women students as its secrecy stirred rumors of black robes and midnight meetings. Minor infractions of the coed social rules have required more time thaa most of the members of the honor council have to give to the job. Snail wonder they have no time for con structive action! No one body of 12 members can be expected to perform executive, jsdi- cial and legislative functions, conse quently the proposed separation of powers is not only advisable, but necessary. This year's meetings of the sssocia tion, to which evjery coed belongs, have been attended by an average of only 75 women. An overwhelming majority of these have been sorority members who have attended purely be cause of sorority interest, not from a burning desire to better their self 'government. Perhaps this is due to complete dis interest on the part of the coeds More likely, it is due to the secrecy and mystery which have surrounded their government and to the small number of women who may take a responsible part in its activities. A system which would alio- every coed to find out just what her gov ernment is planning and doing, whack would give more coeds the opportun ity to participate in it, is a crying need on this campus. Coeds no longer need to separate themselves from the men students by going over into the corner and form ing an association of their own like naughty children. The men have accepted the coeds into their political set-up and have even politicked strenuously for their favor and votes. Further cooperation, so fervently desired by most coeds, has been hampered by their outmod ed organization. The new plan, as originally propos ed by Mary and Jane, and modified by the recent discussions at the New Offi cers' Training conference calls not only for a separation of powers into a legislature and two council honor and dormitory, but it provides an op portunity for the campus to know what is happening to coed student gov ernment and for more women to tae an active part in this process of go?' erning themselves. The honor council, under the pro posed plan, would deal with infrac tions of the honor system and camps code, and would be relieved of dealing with coeds who are 45 minutes late, a second-floor telephone in Archer house, and how much the WA shouio donate to Greek war relief. The dormitory council weuld deal with infractions of the social rules, and might possibly direct orientation. it would Wnme a functioning body. performing the duties of acquainting the new girls with the Carolina w of life. .
