Plautus. o Have A Heart (Reprinted From Charlotte Observer) College football being what it is, a dramatic, almost ribaldrous form of athletic competition in collegiate prestige, with the players themselves in many cases known to be bought and paid for in ex change for their participation, it is inevitable that when teams break down in any given season, fail to measure up to current hopes and find themselves fairly outdone week after week by their op- ponents, the wolves begin to howl. We ventured into the Playmaker theater and found that we had come in during try-outs. One young fellow who claimed to have played the lead in his high school play, was begging one of the directors to give him a part. "If I can't play the butler can't you give me an oven cmsllor narl ATott. Said wolves being tne alumni ana otner partisans oi a team wi be a dead bod or an outside shout. Buck up lad, maybe someday you can be photographed in a striped suit play ing football like BOB BOWERS." By The Staff Well girls we've finally found them. The things that make a man perfect. We came across these rules of perfec tion while flipping through a copy of "The Bible of the World. A gentleman named Buddha names 32 items of per fection that a man must have in order to be considered a super-man. We will list aTfew of the im " ' portant ones. HE HAS urovu A FEAME DIVINE LY STRAIGHT, HE HAS FORTY TEETH, (you can find some Carolina gentlemen who will take them out and let you count them), HE HAS A DI VINE VOICE LIKE THE KARA VI KA BIRD'S, (With a few beers the Carolina gentleman might sing like a the female species), HIS EYETEETH LIKE A COW, (This we fail to com prehend. It must mean something to he female species), HIS EYTEETH ARE VERY LUSTROUS, (Hey, Mr. Buddha, what are the others doing, rotting???), HE HAS A HEAD THE SHAPE OF A ROYAL TURBAN, (We're afraid that the Carolina gentle man falls short ,in this regard, most of us have heads shaped like inverted beer mugs).

Such a situation exists now with the squad of the University of North Carolina. And such an adverse and hostile reaction, it is whispered, is beginning to set in toward the coaching staff over at Chapel Hill. It's no part of our business to be technical, analytical and explan atory ofc what's wrong with the team. It merely seems to be one of those years when the best of strategies fails to explode, nothing works and the ball players have probably fallen into a sort of de featist psychology which may hound them through the remainder of the season and preclude any further victories at all. But in the name of simple justice and common fairness, the en raged yelpers should lay off the coaches. The staff at Chapel. Hill as now,constituted has a very enviable record since the beginning 'of its tenure. Why not take the whole! of that record in relation to the isolated miserableness of this 1 season's history, and give the men who are in charge at least the benefit of considered and reasonable judgment. The failures of the present schedule will loom less formidable when measured against the background of the past five years, for instance, and with the same coaching staff in control over there they may measure even less calamitous against the achievements of the future if the loyalists can take their immediate disappoint ments in the stride of gentlemen and sportsmen. HOT HEADED No Chancre. No ImDrovement! f . . . Almost a month ago we called for a drastic reform of the Debate Council because debating at Carolina had decayed almost beyond the point of recognition. ' The student body, which has been footing the bill, has had no interest because all debates were non-decision and because most of Carolina's teams were not adequately coached in ACT debating technique. Root of the trouble has been NOW the Council's personnel. Di and Phi representa tives have, as a rule, been ignorant of debating. Campus nominations were given as .regards to any politicians who wanted an office and no heavy duties. Four interested members of the squad and Council proposed a reform. Opposition was strong and open at first but gradually sub sided because the proposed measures were indisputably justified. Out of a heated session of wrangling last week, at which the whole squad was present, came a modified but still adequate plan. Mem bership of the Council was to be increased from four to six two representatives from the Di and Phi, two elected from the campus and two elected by the squad itself. All students running for the office would have to qualify by regular attendance at squad meet- V a a ings ana participation in tryouts ana aeoates. Yesterday the Council president announced that because of more pressing affairs, the plan would be tabled until later in the year. We fail to see what could possibly be more essential than im mediate adoption of the plan by the Council. Only matters now under discussion are possible entrance into a forensic tournament and an invitation to two British women to appear on the campus for debates. Still, attention required for these projects is light in com parison with heavy duties which will fall on the Council when ac tual debating season opens shortly after Christmas. From January until the middle of April, debates and trips will occur every other week or more often. The Council must take action immediately or postpone it until next year. We rather believe tha,t it would be feasible to act now. Otherwise, the Student Legislature will hardly be disposed to dup licate last year's lenient budget. The student body has been get ting nothing for its money too long. o in rassmg A man should hold very strong to his political and religious faith, but he can most vigorously defend his convictions without being bitter.

The warning concerns the overwhelming PSEUDO- ' PPularity .tha they have come into. This FRIENDS campus is f ull of people who like to be-seen standing with, or out with, famous campus personalities Don't be too carried away by the friends you make in the next few days. We remind you of all the petting.. . . on the head, that "DAN" the dog received right after his cartoon appeared in the TAR & FEATHERS. O In the "TARRED AND FEATH ERED" section of the 'Tar & Feathers', Louis Harris "who nobody really has jiything against" is practically warned that his head may be popped 'off if he doesn't stop sticking it out. To the Editors of Tar and Feathers we can only say that one thing was over looked. Louis Harris is very similar to a four footed little creature often referred to as a turtle and like the turtle he knows when to stick his head out and when to draw it in. (a quality lacking in some other men on the cam pus). ' LOUIS HARRIS JletteM, To the Editor: I am writing you this in appreciation of the wonderful hospitality that was shown by you and the boys at Everett dormitory this past week-end. Smith and I really appreciated all that you did for us and want you to know that you tended greatly to make our stay a pleasant one. Well it is time to go back to bed on the ground) and play hide and seek with the snakes. Sincerely yours, Corporal Robert McGee Co. A. 16th Med Regt. Fort Bragg, N. C. Editor's Note: Congratulations Everett. Other dormitories would do well to follow suit. People have talked about the lack of serious thought in this column long enough. Today it is going to be noth ing but serious thoughts. There may even be a little social significance. And so . . . it seems that people, who write columns full of serious thoughts, have got to have a pet gripe somewheres. I have lots of them but my biggest one right now is the fact that I WASN'T ELECTED TO PHI BETE. This humiliating way of an nouncing your pet gripe is not done in most columns so maybe I've made a mistake and better begin again. I'M GLAD I WASN'T ELECTED TO PHI BETE. This is not sour grapes (not much). I'm glad I wasn't elected for many-., reasons. First of all because people who make Phi Bete have to study and read so much, that their eyes get bad, and they have to wear glasses all the time, and when they're old they probably won't be able to see at all and then they will be sorry they studied so hard in col lege because after all what good is a Phi Bete key if you can't look at it. 9t Jfaftftenl HOT NOTES: Bruce Snyder, ex- - uut:ut Bna now a sax-star wath the Tommy Dorsey band, was married to a Monroe, N.

That cigarette company which sponsors the Glenn Miller-Fred Waring radio programs has something to shout about Last week a radio popularity poll showed that these two programs had by far the largest listening audience among college students. Last year four boys in the Men's Glee Club formed a novelty quartet. ! It was on the barber shop variety and specialized in "Old Mill Stream," '"My Gal Sal," and other songs of this same type. They were featured on the club's annual tour and after having been so well received, struck out on their own. They did firemen's balls and Kiwanis luncheons from Pinehurst to Washington, D. C. The boys: Bill Mehaffey, Tom Baden, Hurst Hatch, and Glen Bogasse, are donating their services to the USO show that Fred Caligan is getting up for the soldiers this weekend. Recently Tiny Hutton and Hugh Morton were talking to sepia band leader Count Basie at Virginia Beach. Tiny asked the Count who his favor ite swing bands were. Basie, who, conducts one of the nation's hotset groups, answered tnat uuKe Elling ton and Jjmmy Lunceford c.ould both play at his funeral. Then Hugh asked him who his favorite vocalist might be, expecting, of course, that Count would name some blues singer. Basie replied, with an ear splitting grin, 'Man, that Judy Garland is tops with me. l got every one oi ner recoras. That new University Dance Organi zation Committee will be one of the most useful and worthy groups here. For many years UNC has been num ber one on the sucker lists of the band 2:00-6 Sound and Fury tryouts for I booking agencies in New York. They demand exorbitant prices for their orchestras, and in the past they've gotten them. If this committee lives up to its aims, and we think that they will, a great saving will be seen by all groups on the Hill that use orchestras, large or small.

Is there any sense in an organiza tion like Phi Bete, I'd like to know. They go ahead and elect a president and officers and everything and then what do they do? They just hold meetings maybe that nobody ever knows about, that never accomplish a thing.

Send the DAILY TAR HEEL home RECORD OF THE WEEK: "It Had to Be You" by Earl Hines and his Orchestra. This record features 'jump singing' by a vocal trio but the tempo is slow. It is slow yet it still has a nice dance beat. Technically Bluebird did a great job in the ac tual recording of this side. This is also a band' to watch. Honor System Works at W&L Because Responsibility Is Realized Having Phi Betes on the campus makes for a sort of class distinction too. I mean if you're a Phi Bete you think you're pretty good and get kind of snooty over the whole thing which just . doesn't fit in with the kind of spirit everybody's trying so hard to foster at Carolina.' I guess this is about enough com plaining to show you what I . think of the whole organization. . Pul lenty awful! And so all you people who get real depressed when they don't ask you to join, get happy, because it doesn't matter a row of beans any- By Bill Pearson The Daily Tab Heel has just re ceived a letter from the president of the Washington and Lee student body, explaining in detail the efficiency and value of that University's Honor Sys tem. There are few essential differ ences between the system in effect there and the one here at Carolina. Their Honor system too requires that every student shall act honorably in all phases of student life, and goes on to say that lying, cheating, and steal ing, and breaking one's word of honor are infringements of the Honor Sys tem. This is also Carolina's Honor Code. Failures to report violations of the Honor Code are there too considered accessories to the act. They too recom mend that no student leave an exami nation room for lengthy periods alone, or that he in any way make himself liable to suspicion. But in a number of small details, the System at Washington and Lee dif fers from ours here, which may or may not explain their better reputation for a working Honor Code. In the first way. I just wish they'd ask me to place, violations are reported without join, l a snow tnem ... (snow tnem ,tne accuser losing caste in the eyes of J this is tne Diggest lot ot Dull that j nis fellow students, as it should be and ever got on paper). v unfortunately rarely is here. And the freshman class is educated properly and continually in the importance and value of the Honor System. Also many everyday practices in a working Honor System are provided, such as dormitory stores with an open money box and no clerk. " At the end of the month, the books for the store always balance. At a recent football game a student left several hundred lapel buttons under a tree on the campus with the price specified. When he came back that night, there was $75 waiting for him there. Such dramatic and pointed instances of course developed with years of in creasingly better Honor Code coopera tion. Perhaps another important dif ference in the two systems, our and theirs, is that students there who are once convicted are allowed to drop out of school never to return, or are given a public trial which if its ver dict upholds the student council's re quires the administration to dismiss dishonorably the student from the school. It thus seems necessary for us to either make our Honor System work better and more completely or admit that Washington and Lee gets a better calibre of student than does the Uni versity of North Carolina.
