THE WRITTEN LAW IS BEST
With Big Funds Available Disgusted Students
Demand Better Entertainment in the Future
Another chapter, appropriate to Battle's History of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, is being written in the annals of
student life here as the student legislature meets in Gerrard
Hall to consider the nearest approach in 150 years to a con
stitution for the student body.

Thursday night the Phi dis
cussed ways of improving stu
dent entertainment. The dis
cussion consisted of a defense of
the poor entertainment by Mr.
Pannill, and an attack of the
same by the various members of
the Phi. The important thing
though was that while it is re-
task of the student entertain
ment committee is to see that the
student body has the opportunity
of seeing three or four of these
nationally known artists a year
They have a broad range to se
lect from admittedly, and per
haps it will be difficult to get
great performers, but with a
$12,000 sum to spend each year,
Carolina should have entertain
ment comparable with any uni
versity in the country. The stu
dents want good entertainment,
they expect good entertainment,
and for the money they are pay
ing they should have good en
tertainment next year. To at
tain this goal, conscientious
work will be required of all the
members of the Student Enter
tainment Committee. The re
ward will be the thanks of the
student body.

"unwritten law" is a source of pride. It is true that we do not
want volumes of complicated legislation, but the idea of the same
body making laws, apprehending offenders, trying the accused,
and levying punishment is repulsive and contrary to a greater
and more sacred tradition Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence. When
men are free and able to regulate their own affairs by the de
cision of the majority, we find duly elected legislatures, vested
with the power to make laws for the people who elected them;
there is then an executive branch, vested with power to execute
the laws ; 'and there is a judiciary, which finds violations of the
laws arid sets the punishment .

To the Editor:
In the three years I have been
at Carolina I have never yet re
ceived one single Tar Heel. When
I was a freshman I went by the
Tar Heel office several times to
try to get my Tar Heels mailed,
and I wrote postcards. Getting
no results, I tried then not to pay
the fee. I bought a subscription
for a friend at Sarah Lawrence
College paid the five dollars
and she wrote me for about two
months that she still had not re
ceived a copy. To my knowledge
she never did.
During last quarter there used
to be a few Tar Heels in the Town
Girls room, but not enough, and
they were usually all gone by the
time I got there. That they were
there at all was due to the ef
forts of Marianne Browne, and
not to the PU Board.

As Hunt pointed out, "The student legislature under the pro

laws prohibiting walking on the grass in front of Spencer."
Much will be left up to the councils, which according to the con
stitution will take cognizance of the honor code and campus
code, and the pre-constitution proceedings of the councils.
