College Prof Offers Seven Rules
For Maintaining Civilian Morale
According to an Associated Collegiate Press
release from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Dr. Irving
J. Lee of Northwestern tJniversity has outlined
seven rules for maintaining wartime civilian mo
rale. For a number of years Dr. Lee, who is an
expert on the psychology of anxiety, has applied
the principles back of these rules to many cases
of stage fright with amazing success.
"The position of many .Americans today," he
points aut, "is analogous to that experienced in
stage fright. This situation, if permitted to con
tinue, might lead to ;a deterioration of . civilian
morale."
Points to be remembered by all civilians dur
ing the crisis, according "to Dr. Lee, are :
1. Center your attention on your task-at-hand
and seek new ways of helping.
2. Don't feel that the whole burden rests on
you. Just do something, however small, and the
net result will be great.
3. Worrying about a situation dissipates your
energy, leads to more worry, and saps your ef
ficiency for necessary work.
4. Don't expect too much. Prepare for bad
news. It isn't the pain, but the surprise coming
of the pain that hurts. Remember that the an
ticipation of danger has a protective effect.
5. Question all rumors. Don't let them affect
you emotionally.
6. Trust those in authority. They are the
only ones in a position to know the facts.
6. Don't worry near children. They are easily
excitable and spread anxiety quickly.
Just as an inexperienced public speaker allows
his worry about the audience or his own failings
to distract his thoughts from the talk he is to
make, so many civilians dissipate their energies
worrying about conditions they cannot control
and lose their effectiveness for necessary du
ties, i
Civilians often worry so much about war con
ditions that they lose efficiency in their work
and their personal lives. This increases their
anxiety. Any prolongation of worry leads first
to inefficiency, then to personal breakdown. At
a time when America needs the full efficiency
of everyone, it is essential that we realize what
our immediate task is and do not allow worry to
distract us. As college students we should have
foresight enough to be calm at a stage in history
that is only in its beginning. We are tomorrow's
leaders, and we should prepare ourselves for the
job.

University Continues
To Serve Nation
Latest evidence of Carolina's total dedication
to national defense occurs today as 13 high and
prep school seniors begin .regular, classes after
passing an entrance examination held last Mon
day. These 13 and .others like them who will be
admitted before the end of this school year now
have the chance, by taking advantage of the
full-year course now offered, to graduate be
fore they are called into active service.
Rooms have already been provided for the new
students. Special sections in some subjects will
bring them up with other freshmen by the end
of this quarter. The whole plan has been effected
without even necessitating a change of Univer
sity admission rules.
It has always been our contention that this
University is a leader of Southern schools. Allow
ing special high school seniors to enter at such
a period as we are facing givs further proof
that Carolina will do its part for the United
States during the present emergency.
Terry Sanford
Will Be Missed
First student government leader forced to
drop school and his office was speaker of the leg
islature Terry Sanford who left during the holi
days to understudy J. Edgar Hoover.
He will be missed not only by the legislature
but bv the whole student bodv which for several
- - - (
years had become used to his smiling slouch and
soft-spoken efficiency. Hight-hand man under
Bill Cochrane, last year's speaker, he first helped
to make the legislature a reality, then took over
the speaker's chair last spring after a double
nomination for four months of efficient service
It was Sanford who was, also responsible for
drawing up and drafting the new student fees
bill.
It will be hard to fill his place. If the legisla
ture continues to progress and takes its proper
place in the campus' emergency scene, its new
speaker must be the same high calibre as his
predecessor. Especially at this time does the
legislature need a Sanford to lead them.
Coeds Will Change With Weather
One of the nation's most popular
magazines recently published a few
facts and figures on the truth about
coeds. What they were driving at
mainly was that the favorite recrea
tion of college girls is dancing by a
2-1 majority over every other activi
ty. This is true of just about every
place except New England where
reading just edged it out of first
place. Next to dancing the survey
showed that other favorite pastimes
of the typical college coed are tennis,
music, movies, horseback riding, golf,
hiking, and bridge, in that order.
One of Chapel Hill's prominent fe
males thought a letter to the editor
was in order after that and mailed in
the following:
Dear Sir:
Thought I'd like to know more about
the coeds, here, and in the nation.
Who would have thought that read
ing and dancing were the top ones.
I always thought that courting was
their top choice boys and coeds both
here and in the nation.
Looking forward to an improved
Daily Tar Heel in the year 1942.
Begards,
Beatrice B. Butterfingers.
As any fool can plainly see if they'll
only take the trouble courting may
have been their first choice originally
but what with all the recent plots to
thwart all moves in this direction,
closing Ghimghoul, wintry weather
setting in, etc., the coeds figured
there wasn't no sense in wanting some
thing they couldn't have so they de
cided that they'd rather read or dance
Just good sense we call it." What this
magazine hasn't taken into considera
tion is that come spring they are go
ing to have to rearrange their facts
'and figures and insert a few new ac
tivities. x
Harvard Hides Rare
Books in Secret Shelter
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (UP) Har
vard's rare and valuable books will
never have their covers torn off by a
bomb if the university library staff
has anything to do with it.
Enough lumber to make thousands
of boxes to store the books in has
been set aside and will not.be used
until the emergency arises. Library
authorities estimate that 120 boxes
can be made and packed a day.
High Cost of Education
Due in Part to 'Extras'
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. (UP)
Tuition, board and room make up only
a part of the cost of an education, ac
cording to a survey at Westminister
College by Pi Delta Epsilon, the jour
nalism fraternity.
The survey showed that students
spend on an average $75,000 annually
in addition to the money laid out for
the above-mentioned necessities, ac
cording to the study.
Fraternity Men Smarter
After Lagging 10 Years
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. (UP)
Fraternity men at Westminster Col
lege are getting smarter.
Records show that for the first
time in ten years fraternity men's
grade averages are higher than the
non-fraternity group.
Women students proved more intel
ligent than men, according to grade
figures, and seniors smarter than oth
er classes. , -
The real artists are those who can
handle a coed on each arm, a blackout

Speaking of originality there's the
story about the Freshman on the Soc
ial Science exam. He's asked to give
a comment by Kurusu (of the so velly
solly Kurusu's). His paper comes in
inscribed with three lines of Japa
nese hieroglyphics quite untranslat
able. S -The

duty comes the question "And Mad

The other afternoon a Carolina gent
walks into Dr. Frank Graham's of
fice with trouble on his hands. It
seems that over the holidays he had
dated a coed from WC whom he con
siders just top, too, devine but he
had forgotten her name. Down came
the WC register and for"-hours he
scans the list Freshmen Juniors ,
Sophomores Seniors ... at last he
finds the precious name but woe is
ho there's two of 'em EXACTLY
t
alike.

More orchids to Bill Dudley (of the
Carolina Dudley's) for his grid-work
in the East-West game. It seems that
Bill came out way up there despite
the depreciation slung by a snub-nosed

him.) Also to Sam Beard (of the
Carolina freshman Beard's) in addi
tion to his class work, he's now an an
nouncer for WPTF.
said today that we might all profit by
studying our own history a little.
To the teachers Dr. Graham said:
Destiny becomes manifest for de
mocracy when it takes the form of pop
ular constructive will and purpose.
The present fight will not be won by
the organization of the Government in
Washington, as swift and effective as
that has been, but by the organization
of the people behind that Government.
It will be won not merely by the five
or ten million men whom we organize
and train to fight abroad; but also the
ninety-five million who are organized
to work, and save, and serve at home.
He saw a responsibility in the war
for every citizen. His concept was one
of total war even then. Our position
today is only what he visualized as
right during a war.
Yet he referred to the war as 'ter
rible but not unwelcome,' 'not in vain,'
and 'not the most disheartening mo
ment in American history, but the most
inspiring He saw the danger facing
us in that we might not reconstruct the
world as it should be, but he believed
that we would. It was in this vein that
he said to the teachers:
We should teach as if each boy and
girl before us, whose life is intrusted
to our shaping, is to be the boy or girl
who is to do the reconstructive work
of the thousands of the potential states
men, scientists, poets, merchants, and
artists who have been slain. '
Ari: The world is unifying itself
in this terrible ordeal of fire to write,
not for us alone, but for all mankind,
a new chapter in progress in new terms
of the divine nature of human life,
through which, under God, we shall
have a new birth of material and spirit
ual freedom. And of this, that is noth
ing less than a new center of gravity
for all human conduct, the priest and
prophet of democracy, whether peace
ful or militant, is the teacher in the
schools of the nation.
That we did not write this 'new chap
ter' then only adds emphasis to his
words. Today it is necessary for this
people to meet another 'ordeal by fire
in which we may perhaps, as students,
do more if we follow that same advice
he 2T V? his students then : 9
To be a loafer today is to be not only
disloyal to our country, but to commit
the unpardonable sin of being a traitor
to life itself. The issue of freedom
is the only issue; the essential and ul
timate fight is for that gnethod of liv
ing which will produce the best life
Our faith is that of the world, that with
the right to live freely, men will live
rightly. ..Each student should decide
to himself, the. issue of this war de
pends upon me.
College Press And War
Bob Speith tearfully returned to
school sans his "sweetest girl in the
world's" picture and affections. She
was took, of course, by a lieutenant in
the air corps. This lieutenant was sta
tioned near Fort Knox where Uncle
Sam hoards all the gold not concealed
in teeth. Bloodthirsty Bob was en
couraged when he learned that his
glamorous rival piloted a medium
bomber, there being a high death rate
in that branch. He grinned wickedly
when he read in next day's paper that
two bombers had crashed near Fort
Knox. He came back to school tear
fully, however, because that pilot was
cuddling with his ex-trulove when the
crack-up occurred.
The busy, tardy editor who remains
for hours in careful seclusion buried
under reams of manuscript and pho
tographs has been dubbed Henry Mole
by those who leave notices on his door.
Nobody is even suggesting that he
looks like Chester Gould's fabulous
character, "the Mole".
