News: ORVILLE CAMPBELL Sports: LEONARD LOBRED For a Clean Buccaneer Tonight at 8:30 the newly-elected campus officers, certain out going officers, and a spokesman of the official University view point will discuss the Carolina Buccaneer. By scheduling this forum as the main event of the Wednesday night program, the planning committee of the.New Officers Training conference have indicated the importance they attach to hearing student opinion on the Buccaneer. The Daily Tar Heel takes the opportunity this morning, how ever, to advance its opinions. THE PAPER STANDS FIRMLY FOR A CLEAN BUCCANEER. We believe that Editor Mack Hob son intends to produce a humor magazine which will be free of filth and still be interesting. The publishers of the New Yorker and similar magazines succeed in this mission; so do collegiate humor editors who are under faculty supervision. There is every reason to believe that Hobson, free to exercise his own judgment, can do the same. . t ; The Buccaneer belongs to the students; they pay their publica tions fees. But ownership does not give them license to have a magazine which does not conform with the ordinary standards which should be expected of a publication representing the Univer sity of North Carolina. The Buccaneer is read by persons outside Chapel Hill. They judge the school by its products. It is the re sponsibility of the student editors to avoid trampling on the sense of decency of the people who support the University with their tax money. By the same token, it is the responsibility of the student body not to expect anything but a clean publication. Generally speaking, if the students demand a clean Buccaneer there is no doubt but that they will receive it. If .on the other hand they clamor for the salacious, the editor is thrown into doubt. He then must decide between satisfying his readers and satisfying his own conscience. The Daily Tar ttftt. feels strongly that the Buccaneer must be a clean one. But it is as firmly convinced that restrictions must be self-imposed if student self-government is to be a reality and not a catch-word. Administrative interference is undesirable. Advo cates of student government do not favor it. The administration, we believe, would be hesitant to impose the authority it actually possesses. There is no question but that the administration could restrict or abolish the Buccaneer, but it is obvious that it prefers student action for solving this perplexingly recurrent problem. Opportunity for definite formulation of opinion on the Buc caneer is available tonight. If the new officers, representative of every section of student life, indicate a desire for in fact, insist on a clean Buccaneer, Editor Hobson will have the go-ahead signal for clean humor. ' HI On Hili University-Extensioning The Daily News does not find itself particularly interested in the controversy over instructions, if any, which are to be given to the North Carolina delegation to the Democratic national convention. While we recognize the ultimate importance of the choice to be made and the action to be followed, we conceive that this matter is distinctly party business. The public, as a public, will have ample opportunity to say what it thinks of the issues and personalities in volved come the general election next November. Curiosity, as well as observing duties, is keeping our attention focused upon the movement. Well to the forefront of the questions which have bobbed up from the outset are those having to do with the origin of the move, the leader, so to speak, who beat the bushes and did . the spade work, preliminary to the actual organization meeting and subsequent activity. At least by way of partial an swer, this information comes to hand from the Under the Dome column of the Raleigh News and Observer, operating as it does at the center of things political in North Carolina : Dr. Ralph McDonald of Chapel Hill, 1936 gubernatorial ' candidate, is generally regarded as having been the "Paul Revere" who rode the state in secrecy organizing the movement. But, few believe that the idea actually orig inated with McDonald or with the President himself. Again we stress the observation made at the outset of this piece, The BY BILL SNIDER Why In America it is spring again a soft pleasant, late spring that hover ed long beyond the chill of winter. In America it is spring and there is someone to see the dogwood splotch the woods white and watch the fat robin hop his curious swift stride and feel the hazy glow of sun heat awaken the earth again. In Europe it is spring again too. There is someone to rest his gun upon a dogwood branch and take aim, to watch a fat robin cock his head cau tiously and focus his beady eye on the droning black specks in the sky. There is someone to feel the hazy glow of sun heat arouse again to activity minds that have spun all winter new filthy webs of lust and power to show the world. In America it was spring in 1917 and there was hardly time to hear the robin and see the dogwood and feel the sun. This was an America firm ly convinced in the beginning that she would have no part of Europe's war. This was an America whose mind was changed by waving flags and beating drums and subtle propaganda. Not unreasonably she put her men on the battlefield in the cause of saving de- 11 1 1 A. mocracy. Quite plainly in xne ugnt. of subsequent events her cause was a failure primarily because she utilized no intelligent plan to promote a last ing peace. Mr. Wilson and the jit tery Allies concocted a horrible com promise. In this morning's black headlines read the latest returns. Now listen, if you will, to the story of America in spring 1940, a country still remembering the burnt fingers of 21 vears ago but already showing faint signs of forgetting her wounds, not because they are any less pain ful, but because the conviction is flit tine about again that democracy must be championed with American arms. From Scandinavia, scene of the de cisive struggle, conjectures that Allied forces would not have an easy time daily become realities. The horrible question that America has up to now been able to dismiss with a casual flip of the fingers now looms in all its confusion and com plexity on the front doorsteps. Will the United States help the Allies if they begin to lose in Europe? Already the slow train of American public opinion seems ready to halt, to falter, to prepare to rumble away , in the op posite direction. Listen to the fac ulty member at the CPU open forum ask Senator Wheeler if their wars are not our wars. Listen to the stu dent in the library tell you how his father, a war veteran, favors Amer ica's stepping in if Germany begins to win. Listen to our University presi dent advocate a repeal of the cash and carry system under such circum stances. Despite this country's sin cere efforts to look the other way, the path to war seems ready to open again. Now if things do not go well in Norway for the Allies, there will come a time over here for a decision and it will not be an easy one to make. Be fore the game begins in earnest, America and the remaining democ racies have a world house to put in order, a few signals to get clear. If the Allies win or lose with or with out America's aid, it seems highly improbable that the present setup of nolitical states will continue to exist. H. G. Wells strangely predicted back in the early thirties that World War II would begin near 1940 to be fol lowed by a period of world ruin and degredation which would in turn De succeeded by a new world state. Mr. Wells' predictions are amazing. Al ready plans for a world state have been proposed quite intelligently by a man named Clarence Streit, whose book, "Union Now" was introduced to LARGE SEA MAMMAL xioiuzoxxax 1 Hcge marine fTl u rnTwal. 7 It lives ia &e Ocean. 12 Narrow Islet 13 Book of maps.

America's job is to begin to think about ways and means of establishing a positive world peace that really functions. Europe cannot be drag ged through the shallowness of an other Versailles peace. America must draw up plans for something better than that, and the world state idea may contain the germ we are seeking. At present, however, it is Ameri ca's duty to steer clear of the war in Europe at an price, even to the extent of developing an economy of self-sufficiency which we have been told invariably leads to totalitarian ism. Even if Hitler does triumph, it is impossible to imagine any inva sion of our hemisphere. If for noth ing else, phenomena of his variety crumble under the sheer weight of their own power. Besides, there ( is Russia. Therefore, at any cost it is , this country's task to maintain its peace. At the same time we must work from within toward the perfection of a pos itive plan for a new order to put before Europe when her lands are j once more in rums. As they are now constituted the democracies of Europe cannot be sav ed even with victories over Nazism. There are far too many complex pres sures of unrest and insecurity at work over the world to allow that. Even tually there must be something new, and America must maintain her strength and determination by keep ing out of war to offer the world something fine and permanent after the war. For this reason we must stand firm when the Allies plead for our aid. We must remember that two billion people want to hear the robin and see the dogwood and feel the sun in a world that has banished the horror and intolerance and hell of war. 6 o d a y 5 . are "Students can now take a trip to South America and simultaneously get credit for a double course in Harvard's Summer School. 1:00 Publicity committee of the IRC meets on mezzanine floor of Graham Memorial. 2:00 Coed baseball. 3:00 Coed badminton. 4:00 Coed golf Coed swimming. 5:00 Coed tennis.

That re iteration comes by way of emphasizing, however, that the business which Dr. McDonald is paid to conduct is inherently public. As assistant director of extension of the University of North Carolina he is paid by all the taxpayers to serve them through their univer sity as such. It is difficult indeed for us to envisage Paul Revereing over the state for any candidatorial or partisan cause as part of the McDonald assignment at Chapel Hill. University-extensioning, per se, ought to be a big enough job to require the .full talents of just about anybody we've met. Greensboro Daily News. We Petition the Faculty The Daily Tar Heel, believing it represents the opinion of around 3,500 students, as well as a large number of faculty members, urges the faculty not to make any change in Student-Faculty day. If laboratory schedules are the only conflict, let the few affected stu dents attend their, laboratories on the holiday. We believe they would consent to this in" order that the remainder of the students and the faculty might enjoy the day.

Being a supemiri is predestined. Not bad dreams but the heavens determine the superman. For convenience, this done respt- fully, one may place superman in tuo orders. The first is the Order of Evil ists. This type glorifies in the presence of evil in the world. Evil strengthens him as he overcomes it. By resisting a mustard-lathered hotdog, h is stimulating his character growth. He despises humility, sympathy, love. You can't" give him anything on a silver platter but strength. The second order, the Order cf Fortunatists, is convinced it doesn't need anything to make it stronger (like limburger it doesnt). This type was fortunate in receiving traits which would naturally overthrow evil. The superman of this order, rather than lavish respect on strength, lavishes it on himself. He lavishes himself all over. The superman has all the answers. His reluctance to impart them may be attributed tb his modesty. New Officers Open (Continued rem first page) in the Institute of Government fcuiid ing. A general women's government discussion will beheld today at 3 o'clock and a meeting on women's dormitory government will he held at 7:30. All other meetings will be in Graham Me morial. Other special groups which will meet today include fraternity government, at 3 o'clock, and dormitory govern ment, class officers, and publications at 7:30.
