Worthwhile Listening
Tonight in Hill hall pacifism
a viewpoint strange in
these times will be heard.
With conscription number
158 plastered across headlines
in newspapers over the coun
try and with clamor for Unit
ed States entrance into the
war. growing into open enthus
iasm, Dr. A. J. Muste, head
of the Fellowship of Recon
ciliation, will speak on the
first Carolina Political' union
program tonight.
What Dr. Muste will deal
with tonight will.be the paci
fist's alternative to war. This
viewpoint entails an ideal, al
most a faith, that it is an ab
solute evil to kill. The hope of
the pacifist, idea lies in a world
that someday might consist of
individuals, none of whom
would kill another of his fel
low humans.
We agree with the pacifist
that the world would be a bet
ter place to live in should no
one have the desire to kill, but
we also believe that the pres
ent world crisis has to be dealt
y. with in practical terms, so as
to insure the preservation of '
our way of life. There are
forces abroad in the world to
day that must be halted, al
though war cannot be taken
merely as a joy ride to oblivion.
Although some disagree
with Dr. Muste's outlook . on
- the present crisis, they must
recognize his undeniable right
to be heard. We should be
thankful that the times are
,not so critical, yet, that only
one side of a question can be
given. Under war-time condi-
tions, it is not possible to have
freedom of expression. Until
the real tning comes, we should
cling to this right with all our
strength. L. JL
Indifferent Seniors
The senior class set a good
example for underclassmen
when they passed their class
budget the first time it was
presented to the class. Last
year Benny Hunter made four
attempts to get a quorum to
gether in Gerrard hall, but
every time it fell short.
Finally in desperation the
budget was passed by mail.
Hunter sent cards to every
member of the class, and all
they had to do was say yes or
no and place them in a postof
fice box.
While the Daily Tar Heel
thinks it is fine that the budg
et was passed at the first
meeting it still wonders why
- rio more seniors participated.
A total of only 341 seniors
was on hand, just 15 over the
quorum needed. The rest of
the class is expected to attend
junior-seniors, and a larger
number will be on hand for all
activities on the senior week
program.
More than likely some will
complain about the way things
are being handled. Yet they
certainly have no right to do
so if they did not think enough
of their class to be present
when the budget was passed.

Mud in Your Eye
A Godsend shower of rain
yesterday washed part of the
foundation from under the
Daily Tar Heel's crusade for
paved sidewalks. But, the
flood over, we tramped along
muddy paths, scraped part of
the mud off our feet, let the
remainder come off on the fine
floors of Graham Memorial,
and then took up the cudgel
again.
Our spirits undampened
or at least only half as damp
as the paths over whiclv we
traveled to dormitory, to
classroom, to Daily Tar Heel
office we remained convinced
that gravel paths dusty or
niuddy -are impractical from
just about every standpoint.
Wet or dry, gravel wears out
shoes. Wet or dry, it is car
ried on shoes into buildings,
where it wears out floors.
Carolina students, wet or dry,
prefer paved walks.

definite arrangements have yet been
made about the delivery of the second

University officials are hopeful that
when the second period of training
begins in. February that they will be
able to increase the present quota
of 40. ,
The surveying of the area to be
added to the present airport has not
yet been completed.

One big week-end has passed,
and another one is coming up
which has pofesibilities of being
even b i e g e r.
Those who are
traveling up to
the Big Town for
the game think
so, at any rate.
But the game
isn't the only ex
citement of the
t r i p. There's
the mystery and
glitter of New
York, and all the excitement of a
big city week-end. There are a lot of
things- to do if there's any spare
time at all, which ought to make
things pretty interesting.
For instance . . . for the sight
seers who have never been in N. Y.
before ... there's always the ride
atop the 5th Ave. bus . . . and the
Statue of Liberty . . . and Stt John
the Divine . . . not to mention the
Times Square news flashes . . . the
Museum of Natural History, Cen
tral Park and the Planetarium ...
then there're always the shops . . .
Lord and Taylor's, Saks, Peck and
Peck, and that wonder of depart
ment stores, Macy's . . . Wall
Street is still going strong . . . and
Grant's tomb still looks grey and
depressing . . . and another tour
ist stop is "Tobacco Road," now in
its seventh year, at the Forrest
Theater on 49th street. ...
Other shows worth taking in on
Friday or Saturday night are . . .
the new "Hellzapoppin" at the Win
ter Garden, Broadway at 50th .; ,x .
the risque "Du Barry Was A
Lady," with Gipsy Rose Lee at the
46th Street' Theater, and is still
wowing' 'em . . . "Louisiana Pur
chase" is at the Imperial, 45th and
B'way . . . outside of musical come
dies, there is "The Man Who Came
To Dinner," at the Music Box on
45th . . . "Life With Father," Clar
ence Day's clever sketch at the Em
pire ... and the William Saroyan
play "The Time of Your Life" at
the Guild. ... ,
Then for the "spots," which are
probably the most important of all
... don't miss the German-American
Rathskeller on 17th Street, the
hangout of the college crowd . . .
that where they serve beer in those
huge scooners ... and Maxl's on
86th street is good if you happen to
be on the other side of town .
one of the best floor shows on B'way
n is still at the Cotton Club . . . and
in case you're interested, Wight
Fisk is now at the Savoy-Plaza
. . . the Marine room of the Mc Al
pine is good for dinner ... as are
the Armenian and other brands of
foreign restaurants ... Paddy's
Clam Houses 'are tops for sea foods
if you're hungry for oysters . . . and
the Longchamps are f ascinatiffg
places ... Radio City Music Hall
is tops for movies, with the Para
mount running a close second . . .
Glenn Miller's playing at the Penn
sylvania . . and there's a swell ice
show at the New Yorker . . . and
the St. Regis . . . have fun. ...
Quotable Quotes
(By Associated Collegiate Press)
"College students compose the
most conservative element in the
country today, but the reason the
public doesn't know it is that itrs
only the 'crackpot' student who
makes headlines." Grinnell college's
new president, Dr. Samuel N. Stev
ens, debunks the notion that col
legians are predominantly red.
"No wise person takes exception
to a common-sense program of pre
paredness. The danger confronting
us just now is that those who are
whooping it up for war in the al
leged defense of democracy will ac
complish the destruction of democ
racy. The best defence of democ
racy is in the realm of the moral and
spiritual-nature. Educational insti
tions and churches are now faced
with a terrific responsibility. We
must keep alie the ideals of de
mocracy." Pres. .Daniel L. Marsh of
Boston university sounds a warning
"American problems today all lie
against pseudo-patriotism,
in the field of education. We ap--proach
significant economic, social
and political questions with much of
our citizenship illiterate in these
fields. We vote, relying on catch
words and outworn formulas; capi
talizing on group animosities; ap
pealing to passions; calling names
and challenging the motives of those
with whom we disagree. We are
seeing how easy it is for whole peo
ples to slip down the ladder up
which they have climbed with in
finite pain through many centuries.
We are discovering how difficult it
is to make wise choices. We are
embarked on the hard road, the
democratic way. If ever we" needed
civic competence, it is today." Clar
ence A. Dykstra, president of the
University of Wisconsin and re
cently appointed national selective
service director, points to the vital
need for education.

Strange are the workings of the
inner minds. Nothing short of par
adoxical are the two items we
stumbled over during one of the
occassional perusals of this daily
except Monday sheet.
Uncle George Washington, veter
an dean of campus janitors, spoke
with oratorical eloquence at Home
coming day and welcomed the alum
ni in behalf of his colleagues while
our dormitory domestic sat home
and wished he could witness the big
event. The price he had to pay for
his ticket chewed too large a hunk
out of his meager income.
W. T. Martin nobly resigned his
membership in the Student legisla
'ture because he already had an
other high campus position. Fere
bee Taylor was chosen to replace
Martin. Taylor is also president
of the University club.

CPU's Bill Joslin's accusation,
that state journals are refusing pub
licity to Pacifist Muste because of
his anti-preparedness views might
be well-founded. If in these 'demo
cratic' states a man's opinions are
ignored it is certainly a pretty pass.
On the other hand the lack of pub
licity icould be due to the fact that
the little known Muste is not verj
good copy for newspapers all over
North Carolina .
At any rate, the fiery charge
makes good copy.
Although several hundred Rale
faces fell with a loud crash when
Bob Chester's vocalist minced onto
the Memorial hall stage the other
day, when she had finished singing
the conclusion was reached that she
was pulenty sexy.
.
Trouble with a weekly column is
that by the time you get around to
printing something the public, the
deah public, has completely forgot
ten what you are talking about.
Anyway, dig back for this. Dr.
J. C. Lyons, faculty chairman of
the fraternity committee, , allowed
as how he would like to see some
thing done about the juvenile heii
week tactics prevailing.
Unaware of whether Dr. Lyons is
aware, it is a fact that one fratern
ity --on the campus decided last
spring8 that childish antics for that
hectic week were passe and took
matters into their own hands. Hell
week for that fraternity is no more.
They point with pride to 12 or 15
happy, but slightly cocky, pledges.

seat. It bought
in addition the
right to crackle
candy paper,

shells, c r u n c h
popcorn plus
the privilege of
expressing your
sentiment. -
But propaganda is turning the
movie program into a militarist's
dream. Propaganda is entering the
feature pictures, the shorts, and the
advertisement. Today the movie
program costs 33 cents to see or
30 cents too much.
, Americans, of course, are raised
on arf airly democratic plan, and be
. ing democrats, have high pulse
pressure when f airplay is abused.
Then students with rising tempers
are justified at yelling, at objecting
to being busted in the belt.
The propaganda is smoothly pre
sented. The script is worded so
that anyone in the audience who
hisses, who complains against the
insidiousness of the film, is made
to look like a traitor. For students
who object to the propagandizing,
no matter whether or not they yell,
still feel like Benedict Arnold.
The latest film to show us how to
save the government, was an ad
vertisement sponsored by William
Allen White's Committee to Defend
America by Aiding the Allies. The
film showed dramatic maps of air
distances from outlying islands to
America. Every island in the At
lantic, except a quarter-acre one off
Cape Hatteras, was listed as a po-,
tential Nazi air base.
The argument of the film, typical
of the propaganda theses, was the
pro-war invitation to America to
combine its fleet with that of the
British. . The film stated the Brit-.
ish fleet was saving America from
everything from the Nazis to the
devil.
The assumption is made that
America has no fleet of its own.
and that the billions being spent
will not produce more battleships.
Also, if the Committee expects its;
arguments to be passed without de
' bate, it must assume that Americans
are gullible fools. Whether or not
the last is true will be seen soon
enough.
' In the meantime, to get my enter
tainment, I'll continue to play tag:
football for the government.
