Time to Think
When we were little boys,
we ran about in short pants,
played cops and robbers, and
fought many wars with play
shotguns. Youngsters, as long
as we can remember, always
have gained permanent enjoy,
ment from thines 'of a mili- - -
tary nature.
Yet,, upon recalling the
youthful enthusiasm for. guns i:
and shooting, we can remem
ber that our parents felt con
fident that our thoughts woujd
turn to more serious things of;
a non-military aspect as we
grew older.. Playing war games
was a child's pastime in the
twenties.7 '
' "But "since it is common fact
that the best laid plans of men
and parents usually roam
astray in the course of human
events, we can say that the
prediction of our fathers and
mothers that we would turn to
higher-minded affairs than
cap pistols upon reaching man
hood have also been altered.
For today, it is also a common
realization that we will re
turn to things military within
a short space of time- by No
vember 18 to be more" explicit.
True, toy cap pistols and
blanks are not the order of
our modern day, and our whole
approach to militarism is not
one of play. But our meta
phor is still valid in that we
are becoming enthusiastic
again about shooting guns.
And the very essence of our
actions as a nation within the
nextv decade or so, seems to '
point to serious military ac
tivity. -
According to Friday's
papers, 30,000 men are to be
drafted into training on No
vember 18, and 600,000 will
take a mature crack at shoot
ing guns by the middle of
March. As these plans are
divulged it becomes more and
more certain that our govern
ment and the defense heads
really mean business as far as
conscription is concerned.
What is more, the thousand
odd college students who reg
istered for the draft last
Wednesday in Woollen gym
nasium are also a vital part of
the determined program of
returning to military ways.
The only difference between
college students and other men
their own age is that men in
the universities have a whole
year in which time the thought
'of service tan mellow in their
, minds. As - the. Burke-Wads-worth
bill points out, college
students will not be'called until
July first next summer.
During the three quarters
which remain until students
will be called to the colors, we
would suggest that they se
riously think over what they
are about to embark upon. As
we have already said, military
conscription is not child's play.
It will influence our total make
up for years to come. We
should feel fortunate that we
have some eight months in
which to form a viewpoint on
the whole matter.
, One way of regarding
conscription , is to take it as
a training period for learning
how to do a job that of pre
serving our land and spheres
of influence from invasion. An
other attitude is that army
service is an ordeal- we must
go through with anyhow. We
must keep in mind what basic
fundamentals in our society we
want to maintain above all
else. .
But," whatever attitude one
might take toward actual
conscription which is draw
ing down upon us it is im
. perative that the draftees look
at the situation seriously. We .
are returning to things mili
tary again, but we are not
going to shoot caps, as the
Plattsburg affair might have
led some of us to believe. This
time, far different from the
time when we were young, we
will shoot hard steel and lead,
and when we get hit, we won't
fall over in mock pain and die
a trite death, we will be play
ing with slingshots filled with
dynamite, andjthe little pellets
really hurt.
With everything we know
and have at stake, we have to
face the future of militarism.
It is a problem which will cause

The CeHegiate Rnt (Part II)
Last Friday we told of that clas
sification of good fellows whom you
find at every college, called "helluva
g-ood guys," who are stack in the
quagmire of the Collegiate Rot. To
day we would like to turn to the bed
fellow of these young men with the
"ultra-rah-rah" spirit, their ; outer
most extremity, "the Ivory Tower .
saint. ; " ;
'-I: " ' "' . .
This fellow is deep and ponderous.
He spends his evenings burning a
light of wisdom and work. He feels
that there is a world to be saved, t
and he is out to devote' his life to
aid his fellow man. . V
During his four years in college,
he wends his way in seclusion, living
with a professor out in town, where
he can deliver a solution to relieve
the sufferings of humanity. In his
"Ivory Tower," he relaxes . to the
strains of Beethoven, which we ad
mit is a wonderful way to relax. He
is known as a rosy intellect inter
ested in the preservation of human
ity.: Off in his solitude, he finally ar
rives upon a panacea a cure-all
for mankind. Away from the swirl
ing masses, our young missionary
college chum feels that he has been
able, by peering far away at the uni
verse, to alleviate society.
From away, up there where the
common, foolish rabble cannot inter
fere with his beautiful theories, the
"Ivory Tower saint leads a lifo
from which great men are bred be
thinks. He doesn't go to dances, or
"buU" with the boys, for that i
strictly a waste of time. He ha
heard of Hedy Lamarr and Clark
Gable, but the cinema is taboo. Hig
life is one of Intellect and high-.
mindedness.
Our "Ivory Tower" young friea
might pass and not qualify for the
Collegiate Rut, were it not for one
characteristic: His whole life and
ambitions are crystallized in -working
out the problems of the worl
although NOT ONCE HAS HE
STOPPED TO UNDERSTAND ALL
THE FELLOWS AND GIRLS
ABOUT HIM. V
Suddenly, one day, our saintly mis
sionary dives down out of the misty
clouds surrounding, his "Ivory
Tower," and with the ferocity of &
Stuka bomber passes resolutions
and decries man for his utter lack
of finesse in running his society.
Our missionary insists that he has
found the solution. His bid for civil
ization's salvation is here, and be
will not be denied.
The "Ivory Tower" saint repre
sents the bed-fellow of the "helluva
good guy," neither of whom is real
istic. We would suggest that our
missionary friend pin-prick his bal
loon and gently float down to earth.
But more of that in our final chap
ter on Friday Collegiate Rut, Part
in.
Dusty Sidewalks Contribute

About these dusty dirt walks of
Carolina we all know we hate them,
we all inevitably have rocks in our
shoes, we all must get new soles
practically every week, but in addi
tion to those irritations there has
been some question in the minds of
many if the dust rising from these
walks is in any way responsible
for colds. '
After questioning Dr! W. R. Berry
hill; the Daily Tar" Heel came to
the "conclusion that :its" drive : for
; brick walks could" not be put ! on a
medical basis. Dr. Berryhill defi
nitely stated that dust would not
cause colds or head infections of any
kind; if that were the case, farmers
would have become extinct years
ago. However, dust does tend to ir
ritate the nose and throat mem
branes, eventually leading to infec
tion. Too, dust is the bane of many
susceptible hay-fever victims.
' Therefore, although we can't say
that colds are directly caused by
dust, they are nevertheless given a
good start. So what shall it be tra
dition or health ? Jim McEwen.
legged cross-eyed girl about 40
pounds overweight walked into, the
room.
Then we . stopped. We looked,
once, then twice,
then three times.
It couldn't be
true. Surely, she
wasn't a coed.
But she must
have been, be
cause she said
she was;
"I would like
to v express my
views for pub
lication on the present coed situa
tion at this great man's Univers
ity," she said in a drwl that was
a mixture between a southern yan
kee and a smoky mountain moun-.
taineer. ' 1
The fact that she was 40 pounds
overweight placed all present at a
disadvantage. . There was nothing
we could do. The editor of the
paper saw me first. He looked at
me, then at the coed, said the coed .
, was about my speed, so maybe I.
should copy her statement. . ,
I did. At least I copied part of
it. She talked so fast I couldn't
take in everything. It went some
thing like this:
"Let it be said in the beginning
that there are some few coeds who
come to Carolina for a (classical) "
education. Still others make their ,
choice on the basis of the scholas
tic standing rather than the six-to-one
male-female ratio.
"Before coming to Carolina it was
my privilege to attend I Wanna
mann Female college, a school com
posed of 300 coeds and one night
watchman, age 65. So far, I've
yet to see the Carolina ration of
six-to-one is any better than the
Bethal ratio of 300 to one. (The
nightman was lame.)
"In fact, after returning from
one of the Grail dances I was down
cast On being introduced to the
Carolina gentlemen there, as usual
the" first question: "Where are you
from?" I would reply in my best
much mental anguish before
we can look at it reasonably
and rationally. During; the
next three quarters, we would
urge that eligible conscriptees
next year's crop of roses
give it deep thought. L. H.
more broadly "and ask another:
"Where do you go to school?" Of
course I had to answer Carolina.
"Then the situation changed. The
clouds darkened. The sun" disap
peared, and the frantic gentleman
would . cast pleading . glances at
other stags over my shoulder.
"To be perfectly honest I think
the Carolina gentlemen are above
the average of the male element
on, other college campuses. From
all reports the female element at
WCUNC and St. Mary's seem to
think so, and they have a chance
to know.
The Carolina gentleman does not
respect the coed in the true sense
of the word. By that I mean they
don't appreciate them. I'm not
, speaking for myself, but I feel that
the Carolina coeds are above the
average in looks, common sense,
and those certain requirements
every boy likes to have in his girl.
"For me to say I am disillusioned
would certainly be a mistake. Ever
since I was 14 years old I've been
having trouble with the opposite
sex. I couldn't even get a date for
junior-senior in high school. That '
is one of the big reasons I attend
ed a girl's school before matriculat
ting here.
"Now that I'm at Carolina, I'm
more in the dark than before. With
the ratio six-to-one I still don't
have a chance. Fall Germans are
coming up. How can a girl take
in those dances when she's bow
legged, cross-eyed, and 40 pounds
overwheight?
"I know I won't get a bid. Never
let it be said, however, that I'm
not useful. I've already agreed to
go to St. Mary's this week-end, so
someone will be there to report a
fire in case one should break out.
I'm going to leave Friday. That
is, unless some kind soul does ask
me .for a date."
There were tears in the poor
"girl's eyes when she finished. We
felt so sorry for her that we start
ed to ask her for a date this week
end. Then we thought. Everyone
of us who was in the office had
something else to do.
We did, however, take the girl's
address and phone number. We
promised we'd let her know if some
one was looking for a date.

the Playmakers job to teach people
how to act. And just like that Reece
stepped out and "Love's Old Sweet

Another cast change was made
necessary by the illness of Josephine

part of Ann Hamilton, a spinster whose
quiet life in a California town is dis
rupted by the appearance of an old
lover. The part is being taken by Mary
