The Silent Partner
In every election the electorate is confronted with loud
assertions that this election is the election, the crucial point,
in political history. And in every case, those stumping poli
ticians, who may seem a little bit ludicrous to the casual
observer, are absolutely right.
The election on Nov. 20 is Ihe election; It is the issue
at hand, and it is the deciding point on the road to be taken
by Student Government for the year. Unlike the spring elec
tion, this campaign does not decide the executive personnel:
A majority of the judiciary are not to be elected. 'But more
than two thirds of the Legislature is to be elected next Tues
day. "
The balloting in the lall election is notoriously light
a fact that seems incongruous with the fact that the Student
.Legislature is the supreme legislative authority in. our gov
ernment. Directly or indirectly the Legislature affects every
individual student. The Legislature appropriates more than
$100,000 of-your money in years of average enrollment. It
passes the laws under which the 'student body lives. We
submit that the Legislature is a real issue. The executive
branch of Student Government can not put through an ef
fective program no matter how good that program may be
without the help and. initiative of van alert and effectively
active Legislative branch. The judiciary, .no matter how ex
cellent it may be, cannot compensate for the lack of well
considered, good law. .
Oh Tuesday the question is put to the Student Body. On
Wednesday we will have a pretty good idea of what we can
expect in , government until April. Legislature seats must
not be the prizes in a popularity contest. The Student Legis
lature must cease to be the silent partner in Student Government.

One of the campus fraternities with one of the worst
hazing records in the precinct released to us yesterday the
following statement:
"Hazing and 'Hell Week practices were abolished by the
XXX Fraternity last night. "
"In an unprecedented action by the local chapter, XXX
voted at'its regular Wednesday night meeting to -discontinue
I all practices connected with fraternity 'Hell Week and to
:. inaugurate a Greek, Week, or -work week, with constructive
community projects to be performed by both active members
and pledges alike.
-"Ruled out were such activities as scavenger hunts, 'rides,'
detrimental public display, paddling, all-night work details,
and any other form of humiliation or physical abuse to which
pledges might previously have been subjected.
"The action was taken in line with the current movement
sponsored by the Hazing Committee of the Interfraternity
Council to outlaw 'Hell Week' and corresponding practices of
punishment and humiliation."
This is a charming adjustment to humanitarianideals.
There-seems to, be but one wiggly little fly left in the.fr a-"
. ternity ointment.
In the words of our favorite proponent of the "teaching
of discipline" that hazing represents to certain men, "All the
fraternities are going on record for the IFC measure, but few
, - of them are going to stick by it." ' r .
. The reason? They feel forced by public opinion to nom
inally adopt the IFC ruling, but too many men in individual
chapters are opposed to treating pledges as fellow human
beings to live up to their word,
t We will go along hoping that his is not the case, that the
promise of the local chapters who are backing up their presi
dents and their council is the word of honorable men, worthy
of both the adjective and the noun.

Reviews and Previews
"A Place in the Sun" A Para
mount Picture starring Elizabeth
Taylor, Montgomery Clif t, and
Shelley Winters. Playing the
Saturday late show, and opening
Sunday for a regular run, at
the Carolina Theater.
Only the studio' which made
"Sunset Boulevard", The Hei
ress" and "The Lost Weekend"
could give to Theodore Drieser's
"An American Tradegy" the ex
ceptional treatment it deserves,
and unless academy awards are
discontinued in 1952, it is a cer
tainty that "A Place in the Sun"
will lead the winners.
Always progressing with mo
m efhum rare for a love story,
the film is so real, and so tender,
that I felt as if I were livings
each moment of Drieser's great
"novel. sWhen Elizabeth Taylor
kissedMontgomery Clift, it was
as if they were not before
cameras, making a film which
millions of people would see,

Letters To The Editor
Madame Editor:
We, as members of the foot
ball team, feel it necessary to
make known our attitude in the
controversy which has ; arisen
concerning Coach Snavely and
football at Carolina.
We believe that' Coach Snavely
is continuing, as he has done in
the past, to give us a high, brand
of football training and leader
ship, and we want the student
body and the public' at large to
know that we are behind him
ope hundred percent.

Madame Editor:
Carl Snavely:
"Fox," this is not a letter de
signed to rake you over the
coals, but merely a plea to give
Ernie Liberati a chance to check
those Indiana Irish this Satur
day. We thought at the begin
ning of the season that Liberati
was going to be the flash who
; would carry us through a suc
cessful season, yet if any player
was better than he, we were
Teady to concede. Finally, Ernie
was given permission to go on
the" field and see what he could
do in the Georgia game. No one
has forgotten, we are sure, the
fumble he made as he tried to
go over for the touchdown.
Needless to say, he slipped a
little bit then in our popularity
rating and we figured he would
not be put in again the rest of
the game; but we had no idea
that he seemed destined to end
his football career at UNC. We
think, in spite of the incident
witnessed in the Georgia game,
that he is the best all-round
triple-threat tailback on the
team, and our request is to get
him off the bench, It may be
true as you have said, that Er
nie is erratic; excellent some
times and poor sometimes. It
may also be true that he has
difficulty getting started on the
first two or three plays he-is in
the game. If such is the case,
then. leave him in there a little'
longer.
Since the Georgia game, you
have tried every tailback on the
' bench in order to find one who,
can help prevent murderous de-l
feats we have been receiving
Saturday after Saturday. Each
one has made mistakes, too;
vacy of their own world, loving
each other. . :
George Stevens, In his first
production for Paramount, adds
realism to every scene, giving
what I would term, 'the most
faithful adaption of ajnovel-ever
before witnessed on the screen'.
,. The story : itself is down to
earth, and it isn't difficult to ,
sympathize with young George
Eastman ' (Montgomery Clift),
who must pay, with his life, for
a life which he only desired to
take. ; "
In a strange town, among dif
ferent people, and- upper-class
relatives, George seeks a friend
in Alice Tripp (Shelley Winters),
a young co-worker in the mill
where he is employed. As fate
would have it, George meets,1
and loves Angela Viekers (Eliza
beth Taylor), a far more lovely
girl, but of a different social
class.
Alice discovers that she will
bear George a child and de-
costly ones, in fact. In your
search through the deck, you
still have not found a coveted
"Ace" that can remain same.
Ernie appears to have been lost
in the shuffle. We realize that
he has been injured for a while
during the season with a pulled
muscle or .something, but he
must not have been injured the
week after the Wake Forest
game, when, as Hank Lauricella,
he completed twelve out of
twelve passes against our de
fense, so we heard.
Yes, "Fox," he is the same boy
who threw two touchdown
passes in the Duke freshman
game two years ago when Caro
lina had been -held scoreless up
until then , He is the same boy
who threw our only two touch
down passes in the final quarter
of the Virginia game ,0t y ,

Snavely Will Stay
CONTRARY TO A NASTY rumor which is enjoying current
popularity;-Head Football Coach Carl Snavely will not be tarred,
feathered and carried out of town on a rail at the end of the present
football season by embittered alumni or by members of the Athletic
Council.' :. :-.-..'
This is not to say, however, that there will be no coaching changes
here at the end of the season. There are few athletic associations
that would retain the status quo after two consecutive losing seasons
and Carolina isn't one of them. There will be changes in the coaching
lineup, but Snavely will remain as head man.
Rumor has had iTthat Snavely will resign, retire, be fired, asked
to leave, step into Coach Bob Fetzer's shoes as athletic director with
that august gentlemen going into retirement, etc. Don't believe any
of those hypotheses. The Carolina coach next year will not be, as has
been suggested, Red Blaik of Army, Jim Tatum of Maryland, Marvin
Bass of William and Mary, George Barclay of Washington and Lee,
or Art Guepe of Virginia it will be Carl Snavely of North Carolina.
It s unfortunate that William Randolph Hearst, the grand old man
of sensationalism, has passed away and will have to review the cur
rent goings-on from a heavenly or otherwise seat. He would, I am
sure, have loved to be right in the middle of something of this sort.
Journalism has taken a sorry turn, when usually-reputable national
wire services join with scoop-minded sports pages in spreading
false and malicious rumors. - -
Facts of the Case
IT IS INEVITABLE THAT rumors will pop up here and there
when a team has a losing season. Those rumors are multiplied ten
fold when a team ha. two consecutive losing seasons, Nevertheless,
rumors are not news regardless of what certain newspapers would
have yobebeve. News, I have always thought, is based on facte.
Here are the facts, as I know them:
0 Jhe Carolina football team is, to, a man, solidly behind Coach
Snavely.. .. . .
Af Athtetic CcnWil, which is ewered wlt&
of coaches, met caiher this week and held no discussion of the Car

roands marriage.' Unable to give
up Angela, he stalls Alice
hoping to find a solution which
would not include marriage to
her. While enjoying a vacation
holiday with Angela's parents
and ' his uncle's family, George
is called by an angry Alice, who
threatens to tell everybody Jf
he doesn't come to her immedia
tely. The next day, Alice's body
is taken from a nearby lake, and
George is apprehended by local
authorities for murder,,
Montgomery Clif t, and Shelley
winters are splendid in their
roles, but it is Elizabeth Taylor
who turns in the 'surprise' acting
job of the year. Other standouts
"in the film are Raymond Burr,,
as the prosecuting district at
torney, Shepperd Strudwick as
Elizabeth's father, and Anne
Revere, as Montgomery's
mother. To be perfectly frank,
there is not a bad acting job in
the whole film. .
There is an excellent blend of
music and scenery throughout,
and as . the tension mounts, the
depth of music and locale add
terrific impact Franz Waxman,
award winning musician, fea
tures a love theme which will
long linger in the memory of
a wonderful love story. The
fade-outs from one locale to
another were very effective, and
will probably be used in future
motion pictures, since they were
so successful in this one.
"A Place in the Sun" is truly
a work of art, and something of
which Hollywood, and the many
people who worked on the film
can well be prou.
if we rememoer correctly, and
made such a nice 57-yard run
against William and Mary in
1943; not to mention the Blue
White game. .
If he is not injured, then Li
berati should be our "man this
Saturday. Even were you to
take the pessimistic view, you
have nothing to lose now.
