For This Issue: News: FRED CAZEL Sports: ED PRIZER Appraisal of Democracy Dr. Graham's speech yesterday morning' cannot be compre hended except by looking at it from many different sides. As an analysis of the world situation, it was a bit of refreshing straight-line thinking that perceives the inevitableness of the straggle between the preservation of the "humane liberties of common men" and the doctrines which "magnify the philosophy of force, glorify war as an instrument of totalitarian power and expressly despise freedom and democracy." His clear logic on the fallacy of appeasement and democratic "sixth column" de featism and of the squared-off struggle which is apparently in the offing is heartening in an election year when expressed thoughts go in a clear line, perhaps, as far as November 4, but no further. This cold-steel logic lights up the prophetic side of the speech ; . the prophecy that if we, as a democratic nation, don't "strip (ourselves) of any physical flabbiness, intellectual laziness, and moral wastes," all our fine sweeping generalizations on the vir tues of democracy will lead us but down the path of "twelve 'small nations . .'. and the Republic of France." - ' As an article of faith it writ large for this small, tough, yet human man his faith in the big tent of the democratic way; sup ported by his belief in "the basic importance of each human being as an individual with a sacred personality;" in the ability of universities, where "people may study, inquire, report, and talk for any decent thing under the sun now, or yet to be" to go in this country's ability to take the "step toward total abundance for all the people" ; in the people themselves, "who are what the defense is all about, from whom all defenses come, and without whose spiritual faith and democratic morale all our defenses col lapse" ; in the "heroism of our students and the youth of our time to make the most of themselves and to give the best of themselves to a world in need of all which youth has to give" ; and, of all, in the "American Dream." - As the manifestation and possible fruition of the years of striv ing for a better world by this University and Dr. Graham, the two have become greatly synonymous then this speech is both a monument to the grit and dirt struggle of the past and a hand book to the future. Because this speech is not an off-the-elbow analysis of a mere cross-section of a world situation, but is the lineal sum of the study and struggle for progress that has been tfiis University for the past twenty years. It is the ultimate boiled down result of a life-time of study and striving of not just one man but of thousands, . and principles of truth and progress which this speech gives as the rules for guidance in this time of change. If these tenets, these principles, these rules given in this speech for guidance all resting upon the laborious, fact-finding work done here and elsewhere over the years, resting upon the dreams and statistics of the sociologists, upon the analyses of the political scientists and economists, upon the experiments of the pure scientists and their pursuit of the steel-clear truth, and resting also for practical success upon the response of millions to this and other speeches if these things prove worthy and equal to the situation at hand, then this speech is truly a monu ment to the past and a handbook for the future. And, although the sides of speech are myriad, we take a look at what for convenience we call the last one. This speech is a clear, mobile instrument. It not only lays down general tenets and rules, but it is itself, as an analysis and a proposal, a definite step toward the goals it visions. It reviews and analyzes the mistakes of the past our refusal to enter the League and so on that led to the present world chaos. Moreover, there is an exhortion against repeating the same mistakes in the next peace and a proposal for an interna tional organization with an international police force as the es tablished world order following peace. There are definite suggestions regarding the development of responsible leadership in both time of peace and war. And there are equally definite suggestions as to the erecting of a more just and equitable social order as the means of insur ing the continuance of democracy. ' In punitive imitation, the Daily Tar Heel states here some rules and tenets and tangible suggestions for the use of the student body in realizing the scope and breadth and vital im portance of this speech. v First, as we wrote yesterday, take a look at the University EOIIIZONTAL 1 Organ circulating blood. 6It draws together cr rhythmically. 13 To mulct. 15 Rubber pencil end. 16 To fuse - partially. 17 Winged. 19 Slovak. 21 Ancient 22 Workman. 24 Lixivium. 25 Railway. 26 Form of "a." 27 Distress signal Answer to Previous Puzzle iHKDfWjA RjDjBpHiUjGlM Si tAjvALflApQ P Ef" j I DEI 3a veI WLOjN.

Use the University grow with it. Think. Think on democracy, f Get your definitions straight. Ask your roomrmate, your professor. And then see if the defini tions are working out. . l " Students, cleave closer to personal association with profes sors. Seek them out for information, use them. That's what they're for. '" . And, professors, loaded down !as you are, make an effort not to let half or more of the students, crowded in lower quadrangles, go' through college without any personal contact whatsoever, ex cept perhaps perfunctory exchanges with over-worked advisers. Because the' pure essence of the Democratic process of democ racy is the teacher-student relationship of inquiry and learning. G. S. I ' Radio Announcer has Troubles Giving Bio w-By-Blow On War Although the two top floors of his limestone and brick office build ing have been blasted into the middle of nearby Langham Place, Edward R. Murrow, director of the Columbia Broadcasting System's European staff, has managed to get through to America from Lon don with every scheduled broadcast exactly as planned. On September 18, on his way to the office to prepare a broadcast for 3:45 a. m., London time, Murrow had to fall flat five times in ten blocks to duck bomb splinters. Murrow, who only a few years ago was arranging' European inter university debates and international exchange scholarships as assistant director of the Institute of Inter national Education, is cheerful about having -to dive for the gutters. "It's iso -pleasant to pick yourself up," he says, "without the aid of a searcher party." Most Londoners object most to the lack of sleep in the beseiged city. Murrow says that this bothers him less than other people, because American radio broadcasters are accustomed to doing without sleep. Chaperoning college ? students through Europe also got him out of the habit. On the air one night, however, Murrow told his listeners that he was speaking softly because he did not want to wake men and women who were sleeping on the floor of the underground studio of the Brit ish Broadcasting company from which he was talking. Murrow has two assistants in London, beside his wife, Janet, who refuses to return to America with out him. Eric Sevareid, former city editor of the Paris Herald, and Larry Lesueur, who worked his way through NYU by trapping musk rats in New York City's Van Cort landt park, alternate with Murrow on Columbia's three daily London broadcasts. Their homes have escaped bomb ing so far. Lesueur has moved from his exposed top floor apartment to a flat on. the second floor which he shares with the doorman. Down at Dover, Murrow has a third assistant, Arthur Menken. Menken has a sandbagged observa tion post on one of the chalk cliffs overlooking the channel. Between the frequent German air raids, without bothering to remove his steel helmet, Menken steps over to a nearby field where he is raising a crop of potatoes. He recently wired Murrow that the crop is ready for (Good . -M orniit; By Orrille Campbell Thoughts while strolling at tie coed dance: Lovely gowns this year. ... They seem to have taken from the top to add at the bottom. I hadn't been there ten minutes until I pinched myself to make sure I had come to the right place. ... Either my eyes deceived me or I was looking at the new coeds. . . . And, on the whole, they were most attractive. ... By half closing my eyes and gazing upon those graceful young ladies, rather dreamy-eyed, I wondered if they could be the same ones I had seen the past week on the campus. ... If they were, my what a change. ... To see coeds in sweaters, skirts, sport togs .and the like you dont really ( appreciate them. . . . Honest!

Talking about the coed dance re minds me of an incident that hap pened on a well known college cam pus near here last year. It seems Churches Sunday worship services at the Chapel Hill churches this week will be as follows: at the Presbyterian church, Dr. Ben Lacy, president of the Union Theological seminary at Richmond, Va., will be guest speaker at the 11 o'clock service.

Send the Daily Tab Heel home. that one of the columnists on the college paper had been describing; a girl in his column all year that didnt exist. He gave her a fictitious name, described her beautiful hair, eyes and the like. It wasn't long: before every boy in school "was talking about her, and wanting to meet her. She was the typical Ail American college girl. An upperclassman on the campu feeling there was something phoney about the girl described, decided he would see what could be done about it. " The annual spring, dances were coming up. His girl who, among; other things, was from Sweet Briar' fitted the descripion of the girl in the column almost perfectly. So after talking things over with his roommate he decided he would have his girl down for the dances, and introduce her as the girl the colum nist had been writing about. When the dances were' held the girl was a sensation. Boys stood ia line, some to -catch a-glimpse -of -hery , others to be introduced. Definitely j she was the most popular girl on ? , the floor. Everyone was talking- about her. ,r As it happened (usually does to guys like us) the columnist, who had been writing about the girl who didn't exist, was at the dance so drunk he could hardly stand upu Someone hit on the idea of intro ducing him to his own dream girL , After being introduced, he stared in astonishment at her for some few minutes only to exclaim: "Wait- a minute, let me figure this thing out." The girl returned to Sweet Briar; never to be forgotten. The colum nist came out the following day with a story telling of his hoax. Hi only remark was that after meet ing his own dream girl she was even beyond expectations. PICK THEATRE NOW PLAYING 20 MILLION DOLLAR GERMAN FIGHTING SHIP IN FLAMES!
