Red paint still remains on the columns of Graham Memorial, Memorial Hall, and on the steps of Phillips. In the Navy, when a mission is accomplished, the traditional commendation is, "Well done." To the buildings department we can only say "Well," and add a question mark. Please finish the job, so that we can finish the phrase. SEE HERE, PVT. WILLIAMS Elsewhere on this page is printed a letter from one of the Marine College Trainees here at the University. Read it. This editorial has nothing to do with the criticism of the columnist, but we would like to take issue with the letter writer on his views of discipline. We agree that "a little discipline never hurt anyone," but the following sentence shows that Marine Williams does not understand the word little. We refer him to Webster's dictionary. From the 1943-45 catalogue we quote: "The student body of the University is self governmg. The functions of this government are both disciplinary and administrative. These functions are exercised by the Student Coun cil. "Student government, insofar as it is disci plinary, is based upon the honor principle. No eode of rules is laid down to direct a student what to do and what not to do. The only stand ards are those of morality and gentlemanly con duct. . . ." ' And from the pamphlet, "Contemporary Stu dent Government at the University of North Carolina": r "This University endeavors to bring young' people into manhood by education. One of the primary attributes of manhood is independent or self-determining responsibility. Somewhere between the natural dependence of youth arid the independence of manhood people must learn the significance of the transition to self-sufficiency. Such qualities ; cannot be laid upon a person' while he lives and moves in an environ ment created for him and not by him. Unless he is vested with the responsibility of bringing his pwp ideas to Ibear upon the design of nis government, he carinpt understand the laws which are going to restrain him, he cannot un-v derstand his own behavior, or be responsible for it. If he is forced to conform to a pattern designed by someone else, he is being deprived of the right to grow up." IRC member Williams should stick to inter national affairs something which he probably knows a little more about. Generally the stu dents at UNC are out of adolescence. Granted that few apparently have not yet seen it, and that others are far past it! The facts that they are in college, arid that they are old enough to accept responsibility although many of them do not; that you, yourself Private Williams, USMCR, are in the service and the moment you hit boot camp you were in an organization of men, and were addressed as such; that you and others are of this generation which is old enough to shed blood and give lives for our country wit ness that we are "quite out of adolescence." We think, Private Williams, that after your plaintive outburst that you'd best leave the pon dering of the troubles of the world to more ma ture minds than yours. If you must philoso phize, understand your subject and do some re search on it. If this thought appalls youcon tent yourself with something, concrete, like, "What this world needs is a good five cent cigar." But, Private Williams; what this world really needs is less people to tell us what this world needs. Dear Sir: Having just read Hiss Caplan's colainn in the January 2 issue of the Tar Heel, ,T realiz? thai J. missed an issue of J?M. I wonder what we would do if Gloria didn't write her little column? Why, we might even be associating with fascists! When Miss (Kaplan stated that the acceptaney of Archbishop Da maskinos as regent 'of Greece is in dication" of the turn to the left is rather meaningless, (I could say something else), since it is obvious to all, (well, almost all), that the Archbishop is being accepted by both sides because he is a neutral.' May I also say that a little dis cipline never hurt anyone and I'm sure that there is not too much x discipline on this campus. One of the troubles with the world today is that every one thinks that he or she is mature enough to live without discipline and here at UNC so few of us are quite out of ado lescence. One more point, it is considered proper when referring to an ec clesiastical to refer to him by his proper title. y Now a compliment. Our little Gloria certainly has her column well named. I don't think it ever rhymes with current opinion of facts ! Respectfully, ' VINCENT B. WILLIAMS, Pvt., USMCR. (Ed.'s Note: For comment on this letter your-attention is invited to the editorial headed "See Here, Private Williams." It Could Be Worse By Robert Morrison Exchanges By Jerry Davidoff DR. FRANK AND PEGLER Westbrook Pegler's column Tuesday blasted Dr Frank Graham as a WLB member for his position on the Montgomery-War4 case. Pegler's labor views are well known, there fore his attack is surprising only in striking someone close to home. Since Dr. Frank is an integral part of campus life, the Tar Heel feels it its duty to give him opportunity to clarify and explain his stand. We have written a letter to him requesting a state ment which will be published. REAL ESTATE, CLINICS AND TEXANS: In a statement issued to the Daily Texan the Students' 'Associa tion of the University of Texas' Medical School asked that the Board of Regents move the school from Galveston .to Houston. On the surface this may seem minor but it is part of the fight concerning the ouster of ex-President Homer P. Rainey. In an article in the New Repub lic shortly before Christmas, Dr. C. E. Ayres, an economics profes sor at Texas, charged that one of the main reasons for the' Rainey deal was the Med School and its lo cation. Ayres points out when the Medical School was formed, Gal veston was potentially the best city for it. It was on the Gulf. How ever, a canal to Houston has made Houston the larger City and placed Galveston even behind Austin, where the major part of the uni versity plant is located. Rainey was openly in favor of moving the Medical School to Houston or Austin, where the num ber of clinical patients would be high. However, Galveston real es tate owners were against the move, as it would lower their property values. Two of the members of the Board of Regents were Galveston men, closely connected with the real estate interests. The same Board of Regents that kicked but Rainey on charges ranging official ly and unofficially from inefficiency to homosexuality. The Students' Association chal lenged "the Regents ... to take a poll of faculty opinion concerning the school's location. If these indi viduals will not, we challenge the Legislature to take a poll . . . We even challenge the faculty to ex press an unhibited opinion on their own initiative." The students further charged ' that due to the lack of sufficient cases one-sixth of the senior class was in absentia at any given time, working in other places. Real estate interests, academic freedom, sufficient; clinical work, Regents, and. rumpus all together in an unholy mess. - BRIEFS: The University of In diana and Brown University are discussing potential honor systems . . . Statement by female candidate for .freshman office at NYU: "I am faced with the problem of announc ing my virtues and capabilities to my classmates. I do not find this too difficult as I. have so many ideas." About what? By Robert. Morrison Sound and Fury's presentation of its package show No. 1 has been generally called quite a success. Memorial Hall was pretty well filled with an over-enthusiastic audience which was receiving everything it expected and a little more. The songs, dances, and every thing was the product of strictly "local talent." Bill Sasser, John Batchelor, Bill Crisp, Betty Har witz, Marion Gurney, and Nancy Jenkins distinguished themselves as composers cum laude. The dancing partnership consist ing of Patty Hughes and Fred Cali gan looked well nigh like the Broadway professionals. Ginny Mason put Grable and Lamour in the "also ran" column. However, Betty Lou Cypert stole . the show with a hilarious characterization of every man's dreamLESS girl; it took courage to play that part. Even the technicians came into the category of artists when the spot lights played tag on the curtain scenes were being while -the changed. About the only adverce criticism was that it didn't last long enough. Truly a well-planned performance. We're looking forward to another one soon. After weeks of relsntless plead ing by the editor- and his crew and the general campus opinion, the Dook war paint has been removed from the doors of Graham Memo rial. Now why could that little job not have been done a month ago? Is paint easier to 'remove after it has dried, for thirty or forty days? Now the results of the dastardly deed still remain on the columns of Memorial Hall and Graham Memo rial. It will decidedly stay there for many years if someone does not use some chemicals or a sand blast. If the Buildings Department intends to ever remove it, why not now? Dook pulled quite a job, but at least they didn't get around to cut ting down the trees in the arbore tum, so ... it could be worse! EN STUDENTS By Jimmy Wallace A silvery cigar-shaped rocket ship landed with a faint thud in the back yard of Joseph Q. Blow, prominent citizen of Damesville, U.S.A. Mr.Dis Gusted, a very handsome Martian, came through the air-lock and stepped out. His emaciated, Sinatra features could , be detected even through the trans lucent space suit which surround ed him. A'signal light on the top of his dome kept blinking on and off. Joe Blow, following the Amer ican custom and never being sur prised at anything, offered him a seat. Dis preferred to stand. After setting the dials of his mechanical voice translator, Dis began to talk with his host, and following a few trivial remarks, Joe said, "nice looking ship you've got there. Kaiser couldn't have done better." . "Yep," Dis replied. "Would you like to take a spin?" "Why, of course. Just let me tell my wife that I won't be home for supper." - , A few minutes later, they were hovering over the border between France and Germany. "What are those people doing down there?" Dis asked. "Oh," replied Joe, "they are shooting each other. You see, there's a war on. The Allies are fighting the Germans. Thus far we have liberated France, Greece, Italy, and other countries." Dis said, "Does everyone like to play war?" Joe looked puzzled and replied, "Why, no. Everyone hates war." "Well, why have it?" Dis said quickly. "You see, it's like this," stam mered Joe. "We uh-er-waited. Yeah, that's it. We waited until we had to go to war." Dis nodded. Soon they saw Athens come into sight. "This is where the Greeks live," said Joe. "They have fought the Germans for years." Dis looked down, then questioned, "Whose tanks and planes are they? Who is being shot down there?" "Why," said Joe, "those tanks were sent to our ally Britain by us, and those planes are British. They are shooting the Greeks." "But," said Diz, "I thought you said that the Greeks were on your side." "Uh, that's right," said Joe. "Then why shoot them?" said Dis. "Ulp," said Joe, fingering his tight-fitting collar. "You see, Brit ain wants to choose their govern ment for them and set up a king." "What are you fighting for?" said Dis. "To see that all people have the right to govern themselves the way they want to so long as they don't hurt anyone else."
