A Set Of Teeth The University is back on the quarter system, the war-time program is drawing its last breath, and Editor Wickenberg's long predicted "return to normalcy" has become a reality. Now is the time for the student legislature to ease up on its considera tion of insignificant legislation and construct a student govern ment organization equal to that which existed here before the - war. - ' The long heralded, and long procrastinated campus constitu tion is still in its cradle. It seems good that the framing com mittee is spending a great deal of time to carefully consider all of the ramifications, but we wonder if someone isn't becoming a trifle lazy. Mary Hill Gaston, associate editor of the Yackety Yack, told us that the 1946 annual has been laid off with the expectation of class organizations. Although the academic standing of stu dents is still quite confused after the University's colossal ex periment in" scheduling, the time has come for the legislature to take action to organize classes. The belief that classes would soon be reorganized has long been prevalent on this campus, and the need for them is quite manifest. Possibly the only recent legislation greatly affecting the stu dents which has emanated from the supreme body of student government was the bill to remove the limit from dance expen ditures. (Even this bill, however, was merely the rescinding of action taken by the student legislature of a previous year.) The student legislature has frequently issued ukases to the deans of South Building, but these manifestoes have been uni versally unheeded. , There is little student interest in the student legislature. The meetings are open ; the' legislators welcome students, but the sessions are as unattended as the bills are unheeded. There is now a bill introduced on the floor by Jimmy Wallace, of the Law School, tq petition the administration's six man committee to re-appoint Dean Roland Parker as Dean of Men. Although we are in favor of this, we doubt that the legislature can have much effect upon the committee by petitioning it. It would be well for our legislators to settle down to a little hard work and genuine interest. Today the student legislature is an elected group of students who have great potential power but who spend too little time on the job, too much time dis cussing and revising their own organization, and at frequent intervals rather naively send notes to South Building which would have to heed these notes if the student legislature would grow a set of teeth. By Jack Dube and Bad Imbrey Variations on a Theme: One-half of us met Roland (Pete) Parker shipside from Far East to Near South. Our stream of reminis 'cences, pleasant as it was, was punctuated by frequent visits to the ship's rail. We noted then that the Dean had a stomach too. Re membering his sympathetic attitude toward sophomoronic escapades of ours, we find ourselves stringing along with the rest of the campus in the hope that his experience with many of us, both as GIs and Col-; legians, will be recognized by the powers that be.Xet's talk it up, fel las ... Agent K-9 Reports: Our writing public which includes Dan, BDOC, mailed us a chit. Barked Dan, "Re Raccoon: Ahn't you cheppies fuh getting thet a. dahg's life must be reckoned as seven times that of a humanbing's? I am, igitur, sixty three yeahs next. St. Swithin's Day."

Though shifting are the sands of time, the marks of the wheel of life shall never be removed. To an innocent bystander it seems that: The gym fee that the ROTC men are required to pay, out of their own pockets at that, could stand a little investigating! Somewhere in the proverbial woodpile there lies a dark colored gent, and I think he lives in South Bldg.!! Although we lose a basketball game, and hard as it is to take when it's lost to Dook, there still doesn't seem to be any reason for the un sportsmanlike conduct exhibited by a number of Carolina men after the game. I understand that part of the , game is being able to take an occasional defeat. Dean Hobbs' last letter to the faculty was a masterpiece of con fusion! Not only were our kindly professors told to do away with "crip" courses by loading us with enough work to keep us busy ALL the time, but in so many words en couraged them to drop around to the fraternity houses occasionally to see "how we are getting along." Could it be that he believes us to have a King's Row in Chapel Hill?? As soon as materials are avail able, Ritchie will be able to turn his Book Ex into a golden palace, throne and all, with the profits de rived from the resale of second hand books. This business of try ing to sell these second-hand books to veterans in order to get the full price from Uncle Sam, could also use a little checking. At first the slowing down of the bell on South Bldg. was overdone to the point of stopping it alto- Greater University Merger Plan Revived By State, JVC Backing Test Case The University Veterans' Association has called a meeting Monday night to try and find the long needed solution to the housing problem on the Hill. This should be the test case for the entire nation to see how much power the veterans as a group can wield. The acute housing shortage has brought the entire situation to one word action. Here is the chance for these former fighting men to prove to themselves and to others that their sacrifice is not to be taken lightly. The veteran has waited a long time for his education, gone through many hardships to attain his goal, then give him the chance to live decently while here at school. This is not only a fight for the University, but also a fight for the veteran. If you are a vet get in on this-do your share, add your weight to at tain this goal. Your combined strength will carry more mean ing than most of the individual letters written for prompt ac tion. Your potential political power may hinge on this very casefor here is the first time that a group of your size has tried to use its influence for the better. Your political power as a group is always to be respectedremember the men at the State Legislature count on your vote for their future. With out the veterans support he should be removed. A Living Memorial More striking than any monument that may be erected to the memory of Franklin D. Roosevelt is the organized fight against infantile paralysis which he inaugurated, personally symbolized in his lifetime, and unified by founding the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The battle which he relinquished at his death was bequeathed to the Amerjcan public which so generously, during the past -13 years, supported the war against the Great Crippler. ' When the war against infantile paralysis is finally won and the disease wiped out, history will record the name of Franklin D. Roosevelt at the top of the list of those responsible. We can help bring that victory nearer. Every American has the opportunity to. join the March of Dimes. Dime by dime, we are building a Jiving monument to "one of the greatest human itarians of "all time, and speeding the conquest of that insidious 1 disease infantile paralysis. V By Jack Lackey Most people falsely believe that last term's state student legislature was a complete farce and that no construe -tive items emerged from the meeting. One important bill in particular was a bill intro duced by the Carolina delega tion calling for consolidation of the greater University into one school to be located at Chapel Hill. Far more important than the mere passage of the bill is the fact that this bill received ardent sup port from the N. C. State and Woman's College delegations. With the three components of the greater University spearheading the bill's passage, approval was unani mous. An Old Story This move was far from new. Consolidation at Chapel Hill has long been discussed. But there was a new angle: the support given by the State and Greensboro delega- . tions. In the early thirties a com mission was appointed by the state legislature to examine North Caro lina's higher education system. This highly-paid commission, which consisted of some of the most noted educators in the s country, ; recommended complete unification at Chapel Hill as being the only practical setup from an educational as well as economical view. That this commission's recommendation went unheeded was due primarily to pressure applied to the state legislature by alumni of State Col lege. The present system of three separate schools," with x divided spheres of interest, was devised as a compromise. As indicated by the bill passed in Raleigh, the attitude of State students seems to have changed. It may seem a bit fantastic to dream of one great university lo cated at Chapel Hill with an en rollment of perhaps fifteen or more thousand students and with all the attendant benefits to the state of North Carolina and to the South in general, but realization- of the dream U possible, The benefits of the plan are ob vious. It is ridiculous to have two competing schools receiving funds See MERGER, page U. Music Makers Kyser's "Slowly" Seen As Hit gether, but once again it rings out in all its lengthy splendor, 20 to 30 clangs at a time. I wonder for whom that things tolls! Another interesting campus char acter has gone too long unnoticed. Possibly you've met Max driving lus cab, and on the other hand it might have been in any classroom. Though married with two chil dren his desire for knowledge is paramount, and he can quote Shakespeare with the best of 'em. Look him up; he's lived right here on the Hill all his life, and has no intentions of leaving. That, muh friends, proves he's brilliant! In about six weeks another Sound and Fury show will be on stage and ready to go. If every thing goes as planned, it promises to be one of the best yet. Midnight musings: Another1 wreek-end has come and gone, but it didn't neglect to offer two pretty fine d.inces. Alderman dorm rocked, and very well at that, on Friday night, and Swain Hall was taken over on Saturday night by Pan-Hell for quite a shin dig. With the exception of some character who edged into the drum mer's seat for a wild ride or two, it was a very fine affair. That pep-rally and smoker com bination, held in Lenoir a week ago should show the University Club what it can do in the future. The orchids of the day go to Char lie Vance for its instigation and much of its planning. It might interest some to know that Jeff will be receiving callers until 10:30 p. m. now that he has someone to help him. Pretty strong competition for the library I should sayl ' Can't understand why Dean Stacy, being as worried about her eoeds as she is, left the Pan-Hell dance even before intermission was over. Maybe she went to turn on the lights in the Arboretum that she went on record as being ' in favor of ! " Without a doubt: I hope that next time there will be something to print in this sec tion of the column. And so, as the world races on, time and the wheels change not their pace, but mark and record all carefully. By Brad McCuen Bask in 1941 we started writing "Music Maker" for the Daily Tar Heel giving the good and bad words to all forms of campus music as well as trying to cover the activities of the recording and name-band fields. Every week we will give you music news, record reviews and our Record-of-the-Week as well as tips on what's happening musically on the Hill. HOT NOTES: Best selling record in town this week is that Betty Hutton Capitol titled "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief" which she sang in the canteen scene in , the recent "Stork Club" show . . . Dec ca has withdrawn Marlene Diet rich's "Symphony" because it was too popular and they couldn't spare the shellac. Marlene sang the mel .. ody in French; it was a continental favorite before it invaded the States. The reverse side was Mar lene's husky version of "Lili Mar- Campus composer Bill Crisp is a sure bet for Sound and Fury's spring production. His original "Blue Afterglow" shows more than just exceptional talent. Looks like the Bluebird and Okeh record labels are a thing of the past. RCA and Columbia, the par ent companies, are using the for mer sales leaders only for hill-billy and race releases, putting all their 'names' on the more expensive " labels . . . Saw a reissue of the old Red Skelton movie "Ship Ahoy" re cently and there in the Tommy Dorsey band scenes was Bruce Snyder. "Fishmouth" (his Hill, tag) was in journalism here and played sax with Freddy Johnson's campus band until Dorsey gave him the baritone chair. Snyder graduated to Tommy's No. 1 reed hot spot before doing Army time. At Dee Cee's Boiling Field he organized a quintet, the Kernels of Korn, which ' set the Capital on its ear. Now the boys are free men and have decided ! to stick together. "Variety," the bible of show . business, reports them set for big-time. Snyder (hometown is Monroe) and the group are currently playing Phila delphia. NEW RELEASES: Woody Her man and the Herd give a smooth reading to "Love Me," another "Stork Club" tune, but Frances Wayne's vocal could have been bet ter. "Got the World on a String" is the backing and sports a good refrain by Woody. Gene Krupa should hit the pay dirt with his new "Harriet" a novelty song which is punchy, simple and well recorded . Anita O'Day and Buddy Stewart clown for the vocal. "Are These Things Really Mine?" the coupling, starts out exactly like the old Glenn Miller arrangements of several years ago but unfortunately the lyrics are quite insipid.
