For This News: SYLVAN MEYER More Holiday The University catalogue gives December 20-January 2 as the dates of the Christmas , holiday the final examination will be held the morning of - Friday, December 20, and classes resume on January 2. As usual, ; the Thanksgiving ' holiday will run from Wednesr day at 1 o'clock until the fol lowing morning at 8:30. This is all very well for the student who uses his holidays just for resting andor cele brating. Given one week or one month, he will make full use of either. But for the fellow who ex pects to work at the hometown postoff ice of at some other job during the rush period prior to Christmas day, the short ' pre-Christmas holiday works -a real hardship. He may arrive home Saturday and find he can work just -Monday and Tues- . day. Or, worse still, he will find . a Duke, Wake Forest, David son or State college student holding down the job he other wise would have had. On the other hand, the Thanksgiving holiday' for many students will be wasted. With Hoey and Roosevelt un able to get together on a date for the turkey-carving day, many of the out-of -staters' will be holidaying when they have no particular reason for doing so. There will be no Virginia-Carolina football game on either Thanksgiving day this year; so that excuse for a holiday is scuttled. The thought of having to come back before January 2, of having just one day for Thanksgiving not so good, is : it? But for the sake of allow ing more time before Christ mas for those persons who really need it, the administra tion should change its pres- x ent holiday dates. PU Board Control Out of the shambles of the ' outcast Buccaneer last Tues day night a new campus pub lication child a humor maga zine was born. Working for several weeks under the criticism of a stu dent body slow to realize that mrtm m iTmi I UMftmOM mm MM LM i . Editor Acting Managing Editor Business Manager Circulation Manager Issue: Sports: G. C. McCLURE its former humor magazine was something of the past a seven-man committee, headed oy student body President Dave Morrison, set up plans for issuing a November pub lication. Changes from the old Buc were many: no longer would the editor be the sole judge on material; cartoons, stories on campus personalis ties, and satire of campus problems would replace the "smoke-house" humor of ; old ; and the assistant editors would be approved by the stu dent legislature. . Commendation is due the , committee members for lead ; ing the way to the solution of ; one of the most difficult prob I lems which have faced the stu dents in the last few years. In spite of charges that there " would be no humor magazine and that the committee 'was "stalling," the members have come through with a construc tive suggestion. Leaving the responsibility of what should go into a cam pus humor magazine to the editor-in-chief and his six . man staff of assistant editors was the only method which suited our campus mode of life. Self -discipline and self censorship are the only condi tions under which any free publication can operate. The only phase of the pro posed set-up for the campus humor magazine that we would disagree on is that pro vision which specifies that the managing editor, cartoon edi tor, photo editor, and exchange editor be appointed by the editor-in-chief, with the approval of the student legislature. Having the editor-in-chief select his staff under him is ' important and healthy, and it is necessary for the editor to appoint responsible men to work with him. But, why shouldn't the committee leave the approval of the subordinate editors up to the Publications Union board? Although admittedly main ly financial in its operations, the PU board appoints a man aging editor of the Daily Tar Heel each year, and takes an active part in directing stu dent publications.

Now what's happened? - Kate smith fi nally got God to bless America. We are patri ots and so must ; carry on wiih a hullabaloo. Ev erybody buys or sells patriotism, and everybody is contented; little pins for lapels, -t red-white-and-blue dresses, or even neckties. Buttons are sold that say "America Love it or Leave it" Two things are certain to happen (bearing the possibility of Norman Thomas getting the presidency). Patriotism is movement. Well ride Letters To The To the Editor, Dear Sir: One of the finest things about the Carolina campus is the natural ness of its beauty. It seems to fit right in with the surrounding coun tryside. In fact, it is one of the few campuses that doesn't look like 1 a tourist haven (Gothic architecture and the like) or a rah! rah! col legiate ' stamping ground. This distinct element of the University will be, in part, ruined by the re- student body and it is certain ly a responsible group. And what is more, whenever the wheels of campus publications fail to go round, it is the PU board that catches the brunt of the griping. All through the proposals of the humor magazine com mittee we can read healthy, sound signs giving clear in dication that a new, cleaner, and much more mature pub lication will come off the presses in November. But, we repeat once more, why not leave the handling of the ap proval of the editor-in-chief's assistant editors up to the Publications Union board, where it can be done more ef fectively? L. H.

Anyhow, r somebody's being taken for a ride, and you know who's paying the gas "bill. We're getting this feeling of smugness, cockiness, as if we, be ing American patriots, are God's Little Helpers. This superiority complex is appealed to by profes- j sional patriots, the men who sell us a cent button for a dime: they ; know well get nine cents worth of ? patriotism from the use of the but- ton. . ' As the monkey said to -the ele- phant when they asked the mouse for a date, "We ain't bein' discrim inating are we?" So we accept a lot of emotionalism that is hurt ful, a lot of patriotism that stirs up in us our maudlinism, and de stroys the rationality we need bad- ;iy. If the big day comes, IH ask.

For one thing, it would be giving the squirrels and chipmunks a dirty deal they have a Maginot line un der every path. "Weak argument!" You shout? Well, how would you like to come up and bump your head on a brick walk? The traffic problem would arise for bicycles, because bricks make bumpy riding. As far as shoe leather is concerned, a brick walk would do more damage than the gravel, especially to high heels. The bricks wear off, one gets higher than another, and when it rains, large puddles of water stand on the'walks. When ice forms, the bricks get slip pery, and transportation is almost impossible. One school should furnish an ex ample. At Salem the students have been trying to do away with the brick walks, for years. They offer the above complaints. And inci dentally, as a clinching argument, it hurts a heck of a lot worse to get a brick in your shoe than a piece of gravel! f Dorothy Jackson Los Angeles City college has added 20 new courses in departments of busi ness, cultural arts, drama, law, mathe matics, life science, psychology and social science. .

They all agreed with our confession of a putrifying odor that arose from this thing. This week well see if it works the other way. Are we good! life is Mnda tough on the cam pus these days what with people - dropping like flies from silicosis, polution of morals and other sun dry Chapel Hill afflictions. In fact after his revealing article on the infirmities brought about by our quaint paths one might note without Qualification that there are no flies reposing on the person of Mr. McEwen. Almost ready to ask this week what in the world happened to the humor mag committee and David Clark but it seems they both came to sudden life each one just chock-full of bright ideas. Only query from the missing per sons bureau, therefore, shall be weak plea for the whereabouts of one Robert McLemore. Two paragraphs in the story on the new campus reorganization bill draw passing interest. Odd thing is that all the activities of that , body draw passing interest. Says "fear of regimentation," the problem which the ways and means committee and the organization committee came up against, was Book Exchange Sold Students 305,736 Drinks in 193940 By Marion Lippincott Hating to roll out of bed for breakfast on Monday morning after a hard weekend, the Carolina stu dents patronize the soda fountain at ' the Book Exchange en masse during the 10:30 rush. Careful tabulations have revealed the fact that Monday is the busiest day at the soda foun tain. By Saturday the students have so completely rested up or. are so absolutely flattened out that the Book Ex has only a few straggling customers. The Monday rush, however, is something it takes the boys in back of the counter- all week ta forget ; about. Beginning at 9:30, theyx pre pare 180 milk shakes but neverthe less have never yet had enough. One boy is assigned to work the shaker, which never stops for the 40 min utes of the chapel period. v Last year from September 18 to June 1, 72,360 milk shakes, 96,700 Coca-Colas, and 135,676 bottles of . milk were sold which all adds up 9 ; to quite a bit of drinking. Counters, who are stationed at the entrance to the Book Exchange, have estimated that the average number of custom Godfrey Asserts (Continued from first page) political existence a new idea of free dom which is a direct denial of our theory of freedom for all and equal ity of man. Such a theory, the fascists hold, is actual bondage for the super ior, and there is no way of giving lib erty to the mediocre without shack ling the genius," he said. "They would give freedom to the. leaders." "In my opinion the "primary appeal of the theory is in that it recognizes the common man and .makes him feel a part of things," Godfrey accounted for the spread of Fascism. "This idea of unity of the individual with his community and race goes back to tribal mythology which held that man is not only alone in the world, but lonely as well. From that sense comes fear, and it is the abolition of this iso lated fear that the democracies have to face in their fight against a revo lution comparable to the Freneh read justment." , Nippon Envoy (Continued prom first page) he witnessed at first hand the inva sion by the Nazi war machine, Bul litt's recent speeches have been con Come the Dance, You'll Be There Look Your Best With Well Cut Hair Conveniently Located Right on the Campus GRAHAM MEMORIAL BARBER SHOP 25 c GREYHOUND PHnrn ccpvirc -Jloll Film Six or Eight Exposure Developed and Printed rapcr ior 20C Oln;.

WW in North Carolina, even in Durham, would be as incongruous as a price reduc tion in the Book Ex. ers coming through the door in one chapel period totals 1,026. Food and drink are not the only things Carolina students have on their minds though, for the Book Ex does a rushing business cashing , checks, for which no charge is made. 'Three thousand dollars in checks have been cashed each day since school , began this year. Last year 59,994 checks were cashed, totalling $563,265. Twenty-three persons operate this establishment, all of them self-help students except those filling the five key positions. The self-help people work on an average of three hours a day and get 32 to 45 cents an hour including a two per cent sales com mission on all sales except college textbooks. . The law passed by the state legis lature, forbidding the Book Ex change to sell articles not used in the classroom costing more. than cents, has necessitated the discon tinuance of carrying stock such as pennants, stickers, jewelry, Eye Ease Lamps, lap boards, tennis rackets, tennis balls and other sports equipment. sidered indicative of President Roose velt's personal views on the interna tional situation and the foreign poli cies of the United States.

In con junction with this idea, the club has already presented Assistat Secretary of State Adolph A. Berle, who spoke a few weeks ago, and, last Monday night, Hersch Lauterpacht, authority on international- law.
