For This Issue: NEWS: BILL SNIDER SPORTS: FRED CAZEL o The Scholar's Search Dr. Caldwell is one of the University's scholars. Publishers respect his literary criticisms and historical analysis. The other day he found in his mail-box a history book sent to him by a publishing house who wanted him to review it. The book was written by a contemporary German historian. Dr. Caldwell has a soft place in his scholarly heart for Geramn scholarship. He studied, before the war, in one of Germany's famous Universities, had, as did the whole academic world, a profound admiration and respect for German scholarship. He read the German's book, tossed it into the waste-basket. Then he wrote the publishing house that the book was a mass of tripe and not worth reviewing. The book had been written by a man who wrote half-truths, who recorded facts which gave only a partial insight into his subject; he had warped his book to fit the shape of personal and national prejudice. It was a book of Nazi ideological propaganda, not of historical truths. He had prostituted scholarship. The scholar like the scientist is a devotee to the eternal human search for Truth. The scientist has traveled a road full of subtle and misleading temptations which try to lure him away from Truth. The medieval doctor was lured off by popular dogmas of theology to believe that when his patient had a belly-ache the poor fellow's bowels were being used as a playground for rough, and malicious little devils. But the scholar has had even a tougher time in resisting detours from Truth. It is so easy for the historian to in terpret events, and then find facts accordingly, rather than vice versa. In dealing largely with human ideas, the scholar has at time fallen prey to current prejudice and has closed his mind to all else. He has ceased to be a scholar and has become a danger. For the scholar shares with the public, with his students the results of his search for Turth. If he allows his mind's eye to become so blinded that only a few facts respond, the vision which they get is likewise blinded and partial. Scholarship, recording of history for example, cannot be a process of setting down abstract and mathematical facts of human experience. The History scholar is human and his interpretations of truths will be subject to human limita tions. But, as a scholar his primary objective, in teaching or writing, should be to present historical facts so that his stu dents and readers can get as comprehensive and objective a presentation of Truths as possible. The individual mind should be given the freedom to draw from those Truths his own interpretations and conclusions. The Nazi historican whose book landed in Dr. Caldwell's waste-basket was no scholar. Nor are others, here or there, who subordinate facts to interpretation, and use their pres tige as a "scholar" to mould the minds of others, accord-ingy. To Tell The Truth- By Adhian Spies John South went walking down his street in winter. It was cold, and busi ness was still bad, and be was having trouble giving his many children an education. For years he had been hav ing trouble. He had tried to do busi ness with strange men across the water, and his big business neighbors up at the Northern end of the street had set up high tariffs. They said that they had interests to protect, that they had things of their own to be bought and sold. And John South could never sell enough of the white cotton that he raised, and he never had enough money to buy the goods of his neighbors at the Northern end of the street. These men, who made the barriers across the water and planned profit selfishly, called themselves Big Busi ness. And they called themselves Re publicans. And they set up baby busi n esses calling them their "infant in dustries'which needed the protec tion of tariffs. And now, after years, John South is still walking, cpld and forlorn, down the street. The indus tries have grown up into monsters, and John South is still cold with many mouths to feed. Men across the water saw the bar riers that had been erected. Many ,of them became dealers in Big Business themselves. Some of them called them selves Fascists. And they lined their own shore with rates and bars, and John South was still unable to sell his white cotton. A few neighbors at the Northern end of the street still had industries, and still ran the town. Now new men began to plan in the Northern end of the street. And these new men some said it was a New Deal began to try to bring the street together, and make their business a single interest. John South was given help with the planning of his crops. His children in schools were given new buildings, and were even given part time jobs to help pay their way. Some of the utilities which had bled or ignored John South were now op posed by utilities planned by this New Deal. John South was given power at a cheaper rate. He was no longer alone in a barren park by himself. For the men who planned were in cluding him into their New Deal. But things are still not well with John South just as they still are not well throughout the land. And the misery of many years cannot be erased in a few. Although 80 percent of all of the planned expenses for rural edu cation went to him, and although at last he was offered help, he .still felt cold. And he still complained against these planners at the Northern end of the street who were offering all of the street a new deal There were such things as reciprocal trade agree ments with the men across the water, and this helped John South. But still there was much cold and barrenness about him as in all the land. But John South, walking down his street in winter saw only his own suffering, and he was not satisfied. Knowing how he feels, a few men at the Northern end of the street are throwing lures at him. They are the men of big business, who call them selves Republicans. And after years of adamant crusading for their high tariffs, they are today singing a false new tune. For they want to make John South believe that they will re vise these tariffs because they want him on their side. " ' But John South should not be fooled by a well-fed few casting fake prom ises.' His problem has gone past the question of . tariffs. His cotton, even with the lowest of rates, can have only a limited sale. John South needs industry and planning, and he needs to walk together with the men on the Northern end of the street. Not the few men who sit in a well warmed corner and calculate profits for them selves. But the men who have idealized this New Deal and have given John South the only concessions he has ever gained. John South is walking alone in the street in winter. Hell be alone and cold until he allies himself with those liberal Democrats who have proven .their friendship. CAROLINA By RAY LOWERY I WONDER... WHY the people one sees at Bull Head's teas are never seen anywhere else. Why eight-thirties aren't made eight-thirty-fives . . . Why we can't have the Carolina shows over in the Pick, and vice-versa . Why there is only one instructor in this school who manages to give an instructive course and, at the same time, keep it interest ing . . . Why local theater goers suf fer through an inferior foreign flick er because someone told them it was "artistically" great and way above the Hollywood standard . . . Why there is only one annually fortunate coed to wonder what it would be like to dance with one stag more than two seconds. IF the seven Chapel Hill churches will ever have" Sunday morning con gregations of more than half-handfuls If one will ever be able to rest comfortably in Memorial hall or hear what a speaker is saying ... If Tab TTtrsrr. copy will be grammatically cor rect since annexing Miss Caroll Cos tello, copy reader of the old school . . . If the Carolina Mag will be able to keep up its present standard next year ... If the Buc, in this genera tion, will ever establish an editorial policy and stick to it ... If those kindling wood steps going into Alumni will hold one if one were carrying a copy of Dr. Odum's book up. WHAT makes Walter Spearman, journalism proff, go bareheaded most of the time . . . What the food tastes like at the Univ. of Maryland. The cage team goes out of its way when in N. C. to stop by the 'Hill and eat in Swain hall . - . What chance I would have if I announced my can didacy for prex of the student body . . . What made Jane Hunter change the name of her column . . i What stu dents have been near the waters of Bowman-Gray pool lately . . . Whate has happened to last year's graduates who did not return to school this year ... What has become of "Con fidentially . . . " " WHO believed Hal Kemp and his gang would be on the Pick stage in person Monday . . . They'll be on the screen . . . Who will flunk out this quarter and who, if any, will have to go home ... Who will play for spring dances . . . Think it's time we had a good ork. Hail and Beware By HENRY NIGRELLI Professor Jenkins was discussing the uncertainty of an accurate inter pretation of what our constitution means by a republican form of gov ernment. One of the more diligent members of the class was drawing pictures during the lecture. Professor Jenkins noticed him and his intense vigor. Adroitly, he said, "Well, well, I am glad to see that you can draw a republican form of government. Symbols are very useful. Perhaps you would like to show the class what a republican form of government looks like." The lad just sat and sat and sat. - Among the Coeds : (Remember, anything man made can not be perfect.)

IRC Members Hear Kohnstamm The International Relations club held its weekly meeting Tuesday night at 8 o'clock in Graham memorial. The speaker was Max Kohmstamm, who is a student from Amsterdam touring American colleges. His dis cussion centered around the topic, A Dutchman Views America." Kohmstamm, who recently arrived from EnroDe. felt that practically pvprv small nation in Europe is liter ally shaking, and in particular, he was of the oninion that Holland's posi tion is very precarious by virtue of its colonial empire. There are now twelve vacancies in the club and application blanks for membership were placed in the YMOA office, the IRC office in Graham memorial, and the Director's office in Graham memorial on Thursday. Freshmen are urged to apply. Lincoln Kan and Bill Shore will be the commentators on the IRC broad cast next Tuesday night over WDNC at 10:15. Pearson Explains Entrance In Race (Continued from page three) . prompted my entrance in the coming elections. "The Carolina student body is a singular passive one in its attitude to ward political activities. Because of this passiveness, it has been possible, in the past, for minority groups to maintain control over campus organi zations. This seeming disinterest in campus political affairs is fostered, not by an unconsciousness on the part of the students, but rather because of guinea pigs for the experiments of lo guinie pigs for the experiments of lo cal pseudo-politicans. "I do not protest the individual mis use of responsibility so much as the continued violation of fundamental principales of student democracy. It is common knowledge that minority control in the past has been effectively exercised to promote the interests of particular groups and individuals. In all-too-many cases this type of 'per sonalized politics' has been detrimental to the interests of the students. And these minority groups have been ef ficient only in that they have efficient ly excluded the student from demo cratic participation in campus politics. PERIODIC PURGE "However, the campus bestirs itself periodically to conduct a purge, and succeeds m ridding itself of an unwel come burden. All that is needed is a means of crystallizing and centraliz ing campus opinion. Feeling that the students are sufficiently dissatisfied with present conditions to express themselves definitely, I pledge myself to the complete eradiction of ineffici ency and corruption in campus govern ment. "The freshman class realizes by now that continued inaction will mean pre cisely the same deplorable situation to be faced during the next three years. Sophomores have already witnessed adequate demonstrations of minority control. Members of the junior class are undoubtedly anxious to secure re lief from present conditions. Con structively thinking seniors will be re luctant to leave the campus the same conditions which they were forced to endure, and they should endeavor to achieve for the undergraduates thatj political independence which they; were denied. j "There you have the problem and the solution. As a representative of! collective student opinion I shall be bitterly opposed by those factions who see in this movement the disruption of their 'system,' and the ultimate upsetting of their political apple-cart. Whether you, the student, will assume rightful control, or whether we shall continue to submit to this form of mild dictation, is now in your hands."
