Open Shop Is Favored
By Dialectic Society
At its regular meeting Saturday night, the Di Society
adopted a resolution opposing the spirit of rowdyism and ungentlemanly conduct
that has come to the campus this year. W.H. Bobbitt proposed the resolution,
which after a short explanation by G.D. Crawford, was passed by unanimous vote
of the society. The most flagrant exhibition of this un-Carolina spirit was at
the recital given by the Overseas Ladies under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A. The
Di Society believes that such actions are not representative of the Carolina
student body, and its hastening to stamp them with its firm disapproval, will,
in the opinion of many, have a sobering effect on those who would drag down the
fine reputation students of this Institution enjoy over the country.
The debate on the Open Shop question drew from the members
of the society a heated discussion of the labor problem in general, and the
regular debate with Boyd and Townsend representing the affirmative against
Williams and Corpening on the negative, resulted in a unanimous decision in
favor of the affirmative. Judging from the amount of sentiment expressed
against the closed shop principle, the Di Society must be fully two-thirds in
favor of the open shop basis for workmen.
