LENOIR NEEDS VOLUME After more than two years of deplorable eating-conditions in Chapel Hill, gigantic Lenoir Hall -is opening for lunch to day with capacity to feed the entire student body. C. E. Gooch, an efficient, two-fisted business man, will manage the University-owned and operated dining hall in an effort to serve the most ancl best food for the least money. Mr. Gooch will be as sisted by J. E. Monroe and Mrs. Monroe, who are so well known by the students who have been eating at the Graham Memorial Cafeteria. Lenoir Hall will employ over a hundred persons and plenty of jobs will be open to students. Lenoir Hall is opening in answer to the plea from the stu ' dent body for decent meals at a decent price. Although the new dining hall will not begin immediately to serve the thirty-five cent complete meals for which it was so famous before the war, Lenoir Hall will certainly be able to give more quality and quan tity than any other eating establishment in Chapel Hill. There are ample stocks of food with sufficient variety to completely satisfy the student body. . As its facilities are enormous, Lenoir Hall will need volume to best serve the students. The greater the number of students which eats in Lenoir Hall, the less each student will have to pay. Those students who desire to better the student body, the Uni versity and themselves should patronize Lenoir Hall to the full est, thus giving it an opportunity to give the best service. Mr. Gooch spent over an hour "Saturday afternoon showing us the gigantic kitchens, preparation departments, store rooms, serving facilities and eating spaces in the building. In the base ment of the building are tremendous storerooms, capable of holding enough food to feed the student body for over a year. The kitchens are equipped to prepare any kind of food in large quantities. There is even machinery for manufacturing enough ice cream to keep 'all the University dining halls and fountains amply supplied. , .If enough students eat in Lenoir Hall to make all of this equipment operate an anything near its intended capacity, we will have excellent meals at a price lower than that of any com mercial eating establishment. According to state law, Lenoir Hall must operate exclusive ly for students and University employees. The success of Le noir Hall depends wholly on the response from the student body. With a larg6 part of the student body moving to the upper and lower quadrangles, Lenoir Hall will be in a very convenient location.- The rest of the students should consider it their moral obligation to help give the dining hall the necessary volume to "Dull through its first months of operation. ENTERTAINMENT BUILDINGS The closing of Graham Memorial Cafeteria in the basement of the Student Union Building will leave considerable space to be used for student activities. The present intention is to con vert this space into a game room; we would also like to see a fountain and snack bar installed which would be open during the regular hours of the building. Such a small serving unit would be of great advantage to students who use the building for recreation and for work in student activities. The snack bar could be operated by self-help students. The opening of Navy Hall to the students and people of the community brings into existence a second Graham Memorial. Navy Hall will be managed by the Monogram Club, but will not be for their exclusive use. Graham Memorial is managed by a board of directors consisting of campus leaders and representa tives from the administration. The co-ordination of these two buildings (which will have similar functions) would be bene ficial. We would like to see Navy Hall become the home of the many campus organizations which can not find room in Graham Memorial. The YMC A is another building used more or less for recrea tional purposes. If the various organizations which have facili ties for arranging entertainment for all the students, work to gether in the coming peacetime set-up, Carolina has an oppor tunity to offer the best in a wholesome social program for the entire student DOdy. v UNIVERSITY DAY 9 . The observance of University Day Friday demands the at , tendance of all students. Louis R. Wilson, director of the Unk versity's sesquicentennial celebration, hopes to make these ex ercises one of the major events of the celebration. fVia.np.plln'r TTnneo will Yvrosirio txrili Pvom'flan nnTnm TW H.

The Association of American Universi ties, also desiring to feature Conant, will hold their convention m collaboration with Carolina's University Day. Any student who thinks that this program will be dry and un interesting should attend and discover that he was wrong. : STUDENT COMMITTEE ' ' : We are glad to see the Student Entertainment Committee func tioning again with the presentation of Henry Scott, who is sup posed to be an eminent humorist.

The campus moves in brisker stride, And close to radiator's side We sit while waiting for a class Instead of lounging on the grass. The sun no longer makes us hot; You think we're happy? Well, we're not ! For now instead we lie abed Enclosed in blankets, white and red, And. dream of snow and frosty climes (I think I'm getting stuck for rhymes !). Yes, fall has fell on Chapel Hill, I guess I likes the summer still! Ah, yes, 'tis autumn once again, and with it we have the return of football games, girls in sweaters, Jackson Frost, girls in sweaters, falling leaves, girls in sweaters, and evenings by the fireside, with (nat cherly) girls in sweaters. Perhaps that is what fall means to most of you, but not us! We're above such things as frosts, football games and falling leaves. To us the word fall brings back other memories of the first fall here upon earth. You are no doubt under the false impression . that there always have been four seasons, i.e., spring, summer, au tumn, and winter. How wrong you are! It seems only yesterday there was nothing but eternal sunshine and happiness upon this good ol' planet. Lessee now, if we remember cor rectly it was just 3,672,301 years ago (although one of our . col leagues insists that it was 302). Nevertheless, during these times there was neither poverty nor want; every man had all he desired, and no man desired more than he had; vice, wickedness, and cruelty were unknown. Even we were happy at our little job, editing the Mount Olympus Times, a four page bi weekly just overflowing with vital news and interesting columns (al though there was some adverse criti cism concerning one column called "Playing It to the Olympian Hilt"). One day we ran across, quite ac cidentally, something which had all the makings of an all-time human interest story. We were covering the finals of the Olympic Gin Rummy tournament held on September 20 and we were making an acute study of the crowd in hope of seeing some new faces. We noticed that Pluto had made a special trip from the underworld to see the finals, and, al though he seemed busy kibitzing, The Seat Of By Lee Silverstein Since I have been at Carolina I have heard many many gripes against the professors and the way they teach. It has occurred to me, however, that there is one fault which can be charged up to the stu dents themselves. This fault is an attitude of be littling the student who shows more than a dully normal interest in his work. Now don't get me wrong. I am not talking about the phoney who tries to cover up his laziness or ignorance with" faked interest in the subject I mean the student who is honestly interested. If you ask a question which goes beyond the scope of the textbook, you are an "ear-banger." And if you buttonhole your prof after class ture, you are an "apple-polisher." In some courses you are an "eager beaver" if you do any outside work at all.

Sure enough, just after-Jupiter had gone "Gin" for the third straight hand, we saw Pluto and Proserpine mak ing for the back door. We followed close on their heels and emerged from the goddesses entrance just in time to see them hop in Pluto's chariot, a super deluxe twelve stal lion job, and head down Mediter ranean Boulevard. We hopped on our. motor-ponies and started in pursuit. As luck would have it, we were stopped at ' an intersection by Nathan Neander thal and a train of dinosaurs who were headed for Hades, which was also our eventual destination (and we just ain't kiddin'!). Thus it. was that Pluto evaded us in this midtown traflBc, and, feeling uncer tain that Ceres would begin to worry if Proserpine weren't home by 10:30, we stopped to see her at Venus' Beauty Salon (Venus was a good kid, who, despite the handicap of losing both arms in a Nylon sale, was making a good living in her new racket) . We found Ceres sitting compla cently under the drying machine reading a new novel called "Gone With Zephyrus," or "Don't Walk on the Ceiling, Mother, It's Plastered Too." We gently broke the news of her daughter's seduction to her, never expecting to see such a vio lent reaction to our story. Ceres whirled around in her chair, whirl ing the beauty equipment around at the same time ("Whirled Ceres," she was known as in them days!) and cried, "If my daughter isn't home by 10:30, I'll curse the world to eternal winterdom. "I'll hide old Sol so well that even a thirty-watt light bulb will look like noon to this darkened sphere. I'll send such coldness upon the earth that even your red flannel union suits won't keep you warm. If you value this present, pleasant clime, you sons of earth, get Sherlocking on Pluto's trail, but quick!" Will Proserpine be in by 10:30? Will the world be damned to eternal winterdom? Will we get the Olym pian Times out on time? If we can buy any more of those nice cigar ettes or get a wee bit more of that bottled sunshine before next issue, then and only then will these ques tions be answered in the next thrill ing episode of "Fall Has Fell." The Scornful professor. Undoubtedly this "Don't be so eager" attitude weakens the quality of classes, because it keeps many good questions from being asked. Furthermore those who do the jeer ing are developing a trait of char acter which is no asset in life.' But a greater evil than these is involved. After all, the future of this country can be no better than the peopletwho live in it, and they can be no better than their educa tion. In a way the future success and happiness of the U. S. A., and perhaps the whole world, hinges on the kind of teaching that is done, on the amount of education that the people have. There is enough con tempt for education and learning on the outside of colleges without hav ing it on the inside too. The "Don't be so eager" attitude can become a menace to American education. It is to be hoped that this attitude will die but at Carolina. Heel .; - : Sports Editor ..Business Manager .Circulation Manager Eugene Byon. am In a recent . Gallup poll, the American people registered their opinion two to one 'against loaning, money to either Great Britain or Russia. Whether this opinion is based upon a chronic disapproval of sending U. S. funds out of the country on a credit system, or whether it is a reflection of Ameri can reaction to Labour England and Communist Russia, cannot be determined. But, .according to the predominating opinion m the CPU's discussion Sunday night, such a stand is justified from neither an isolationist outlook nor an inter nationalist one. , Great Britain and Russia both de sire the use of American funds but for one purpose: to buy from the United States the consumer and durable goods which they desper ately need. Both countries have suf fered considerable material devas tation during the war with the Axis, and both are essentially in need of the goods which can re vitalize industrial economies. The United States is the only country in the world at present which can fur nish these goods. The delicate fac tor involved is that neither Britain nor Russia is in a position to give goods in exchange for these goods. Thus, both are seeking to borrow American dollars in order to buy them from us. If Great Britain and Russia bor row money to buy goods from us, that will mean more production and consequently greater employment in this country. Although the Unit ed States, during a normal year, exports only about 8 of its total production, the fluctuation of the foreign market on which that 8 is sold is a determining factor in our standard of living. When it goes up, our standard of living is higher; when it -comes down, our standard of living is lower. To understand this is to grasp the significance of a relatively simple fact concerning foreign ex change: we buy foreign goods in direct proportion to the sale of our exports. We buy British goods, with British pounds. To receive those pounds we sell American goods to Britain. And vice versa. The question has been asked: in loaning money to Russia, will we not be financing the imperialism of CERTAIN COWS CAUSING CONSIDERABLE COMMOTION By Charlie Kauffman, Jr. I'd like to advise our govern ment to give some assistance to animal relations while they're as sisting everybody and everything else. Animals live a very rough life, especially so in the case of Minnie Quarts. In case you don't know who Miss Quarts is, which is most likely, she is the1 mascot of Irvingdale Dairy Farms in Atlanta. She's really quite the cow. All of Atlanta follows the romances in Miss Quarts' life as if it were the life of a very dear friend. And she is just that. She represents the originality and individuality of the American people. I don't know who thought up the idea of Minnie Quarts, but she's been a leading figure in the Georgian Elite for quite some time now. Just about every Sunday in the Atlanta Con stitution there's an article on the society page describing to the full est the charming occurrances at some of Miss Quarts' tea parties for her mooing acquaintances. Minnie, of course, divides her time between domestic affairs and her work at Irvingdale Farms. She holds the interest of all the patrons by her beautiful figure and cute comments which appear on the Irvingdale milk bottles. Recently that dairy adopted square bottles and immediately Miss Quarts was painted on the bottle in a stimulat ing come-hither look and saying: "This is a square deal." The of ficials at the dairy told me person ally that she writes all of the ad vertisements for the bottles and billboards on which she appears. It's proved a very good idea be cause countless thousands of Geor gians follow Miss Quarts' advice in relation to milk and milk products. Two years ago, soon after she start ed her Pep Milk radio program, Mary Lee Taylor, of the same oc cupation, had Miss Quarts up in court because she advocated better working hours for cows. The court decided Minnie was right because she -was a direct producer of the milk. This sort of left Miss Taylor nation whose system of govern a ment and economy is diametrically opposed to ours ? The answer to this is that American loans to Rus sia can be used for no purpose ex cept to buy American goods. And we do not propose to be manufac turing armament for sale on a for eign market. There is no doubt prevalent a great school of thought hoping and believing that in refusing to loan Great Britain the five or six bil lions she desires we will force the Labour government and its partial ly socialist concepts out of power. Such thought is hardly justified by reasoning. To force Britain into an economic vacuum would tend to en courage socialism rather than re tard it. And British reaction, in spired by our insistence on inter fering with her domestic affairs, would most assuredly go more de terminedly Left. The long-range question of even tual British and Russian industrial competition is probably the most important ohe. Russia, in particu lar, is a potential competitor of the United States. She undoubtedly has the natural resources, and more than likely will have the technical know-how, to produce in volume and in quality the goods which would compete with ours on a world mar ket. Her recently-won access to the commercial seas guarantees her the power to ship her goods anywhere in the world. Whether or not Rus sia will compete with us in volume andor quality is not, however, the supreme question. The price at which she can put her goods on sale is the really important source of competition. There is little doubt that Russia, operating under a com munist economy, can undersell any capitalist nation on the globe once her productive facilities are put into high gear. If and when the United States finds itself un able to compete with Russian prices on a large scale, a decided change in our economy is inevitable. Either we will liberalize it to re duce our selling prices, or we will suffer a setback in our standard of living which, like Great Britain's, is dependent upon a stable foreign market. There- is a third, more exacting course: war. holding the bag if you know what I mean. , Equally as fascinating and twice as shocking is the love life of Min nie Quarts. She was married in 1941 to one Minnie Barrels, but that match soon proved a failure because Minnie Barrels wanted his wife to give up her career and de vote it to rearing children. Her second husband, Minnie Hogsheads, left her for the same reason, be sides he spoke French and the only foreign language Minnie can speak is Spanish. However, last year she found the perfect bull. The bull she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. They got married and soon after a little stranger was born to the happy couple. Everyone was overjoyed because that meant that there would be an heir to the throne of the House of Moo. Appropriately they named the offspring Minnie Pints. .But the vivacious and bewitching Miss Quarts is now madly in love with a vagabond western cow from the lone prairie. Jhe is asking the advice of her friends in this deci son. Hundreds of letters have been written to her with all kinds of ad vice given. Personally, I think she should consider her daughter, Min nie Pints, who is still quite young. I also believe that she won't get married again because the public ity man at Irvingdale Farms couldn't possibly have another name for the fourth husband. Exchanges "Mother told me not to drink. Ha!
