Last week there was a gathering in Chapel Hill at which students from 32 universities and colleges discussed' the problems growing out of the war, with special reference to the period fol lowing the conflict and the part that youth will play in the reconstruction. Those older persons privileged to head the discussions and round ta ble talk this year were almost carried back to the days of 1917-18. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was the chief speaker and the target at which many questions were aimed, had np predictions to make about the length of the war any more than leaders in 1917 felt they were safe prophets. She stressed the dependence upon youth and the wisdom of even now considering what the world would be like at the end of this war. She believed college youths should give, themselves to study in particular lines until , they were called to war, placing em phasis along lines , that would make them more efficient in war. That gathering and the trend of the discus sions recalled another gathering at Chapel Hill in the 1917 commencement when, as the Univer sity Alumni Review of this month states, Secre tary of War Newton D. Baker and Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels discussed questions similar to those that Mrs. Roosevelt and govern ment officials are debating today. only interesting fcut also timely. We quote: As to the war, Mr. Baker thought that we were only at the begining of this great effort. "No man can tell how long it will last. Anyone ' could be blindfolded and turned loose in the vast audience in this house and touch men who will be on the battlefields within a year. But there is work for all to do now and after the war is over. . . "Whatever the exertion, don't let the lamp " of learning go out," exhorted the speaker. "Some will stay here because it isn't their turn to go. There is work to do, if we are to rehabil itate the civilization of the world. ..." There is even greater similarity. In the World War of. 1917-18 Edward Kidder Graham as pres ident of the University was chairman of the Southern University organization directing train ing for war and champing at the bit to get into uniform. In 1941-42 the president is another Gra ham, Frank Graham (a Marine in the last war), cousin of the president in the Wilson days, who is a right-hand man of President Roosevelt, call " ed to more than one important position of service as essential as any in this grave period.

By Student Opinion Surveys AUSTIN, Texas. While American students are not ready to adopt the idea that college edu cation should train women to be primarily wives and mothers, neither do they want them to ac cept equality between the sexes. Student Opinion Surveys of America, the coop erative weekly poll sponsored by college news papers, finds that great majorities even of coeds themselves believe: 1. Women should not try to combine marri age and motherhood with a career outside the home. 2. There would be more divorces if women were given more nearly equal social status with men. When it comes to education,' however, opinion is divided on such a plan as has made Stephens College of Missouri attract national attention: traiirng women to be educated and capable wives and mothers rather than professionals. "It all de pends on the particular woman," about three out of every ten interviewed commented. The plural ity, 38 per cent, are opposed, while 28 per cent arnrove. Interesting is the fact that more men than women like the idea. Here are the tabula- Editorials in the Daily Tar Heel have con demned political parties on the campus, not only this year but also in past years. We and the oth ers who have written these editorials have writ ten them because we believe that political parties have forgotten the small amount of good they can do. In their present form they are an obstruc tion to the proper functioning of student govern ment. We believe this, and we have our reasons. First, we may say that most of the function aries of the present political parties seem to glory in demagoguery and power politics even though they profess an interest in presenting the best man for a particular position. There is too much emphasis on getting the campus Joe Colleges and campus sports into office. We have no quarrel with these persons as persons, but we do believe that political parties, if there-is any justification for them, exist only to place the best candidates in. the public eye. In the present system, cliques delighting in the power that accrues from boss ing a party plan candidates several months and oftentimes years ahead; They do not keep up a steady search for the. best and most capable man, but run their parties in such a fashion that re gardless of the sort of person who gets in they want to keep their own influence. Now we have observed that the parties are trying to' take can didates from each other. They are trying to "jump the gun." All in all there is a small regard for the ethics of the situation, and it seems that candidates exist ,for the perpetuation of party power and not the parties for the presentation of the best candidates. We appeal to political parties in their choice of candidates, to discontinue intra-party bickerings and unethical practices, and to remember that they have an obligation to the student body, Get ting the best men in the best job is the important thing at the moment. ADVANCED AVIATION ... With the finest college airport in the nation, why is it that the University can only afford nine small airships? When private companies all over the country are making sizeable profits in cooperation with the CAA, why cannot this insti tution risk putting in advanced training aviation units? .' . ' Aviation is now a vocation ; and Carolina" is now offering only high-school training toward a master's degree. It is not appropriate for this college to overlook both its responsibility to its students and the nation in times of crisis. It is doing just that in regard to aviation training. . We have the facilities. We have the students. We need only a request by the Administration to : the CAA for an OK of the project, which in these days would readily be given. Somebody ought to flash the green light. ' small fry ... By Billy Webb Despite the superfluity of glamour in Sound and Fury, the organization is bemoaning the dearth of capable and convincing love scene writers. Bagdad's .daddy, who has 365 wives (no provision made for leap year), is becoming a little nervous because he has no words of love and invita tion to speak. Randy Mebane, S&F's little dictator, will meet all applicants tonight in the wilds of 4he arboretum at the stroke of midnight. ! O Ed Hartshorn, void of the usual Phi Delt talent for raising hell, turn ed to raising white mice. Love has a way, you know, and soon the mice were expecting a little ray of sun shine to make their iron bars a cage. One day the sunshine dawned and peeking into the cage Ed witnessed a proud mother and a bowed father. His amazement to find the father so downcast was assuaged when he found a brown mouse among the mouselets. Dr. Adams and his class in Amer ican prose and poetry were penetrat ing into the more profound depths of Lanier's "Son of the Chattahoo chee." Solemnly Dr. Adams peered over his glasses and voiced this ques tion to a back row coed, "And what did the trees say?" The coed looked up from her Love Story mag with no idea what the trees said since she had no occult relationship with the vegetable as did Emerson. "The trees said Pass Not," stormed Adams, "and you can take that to heart." O i Wading through Caliphs, Calibans, and Tiny Hutton, I made my way into the S&F padded cell to be confronted by a bellicose director Richards. He wanted a story written featuring him and his remarkable abilities. . "Aw gVan," Arty Fischer remarked in his beautiful Yankee jargon, "Write a feature on the whole cast. If you write one on Richards, one person will read it. If you write one on the cast, at least ten will read it." O Recommended for Beam's Carolina Scene: The sniffler who sits next to you in class who is either without handkerchief or inclination to blow nose. I can't help but try to guess the exact time of the next sniffle, getting a self-satisfied pleasure when my guess is correct and an urge to throt tle when he sniffles off beat. Most ludicrous are the stifled yawners whose eyes bulge from sock ets in hangman's noose fashion and whose lips curl in vicious snarls as teeth are held tightly clamped.

By Ben McKinnon When the first lady of the land eats a 30c sleak at the cafeteria for dinner on Saturday night, then you may know that the United States is on a sound basis. For that is exact ly what "Eleanor" had for dinner that night and she also had a help ing of beets. "Shoot the beets to me, Pete, we're dining with the elite." Idle Notes and Quotable Quotes: Freddy Johnson: "The test of a good orchestra is if the boys can play the kind of music that the dancers want, whether it be swing or sweet." The acme of luxury would be to have a private stenographer to take class notes, or don't you think so? Grady Dover: "She has a face that would stop a cluck." Sammy Kaye is booked solid until the first of Jan uary 1943. Marian Woodbury: "My girl has me right where I want her " ' , nHT a Slightjy ebriated Chi Phi pledge leaving the brawl last Friday night climbed into a taxi and said "Drive." The cabbie obliged and drove-for two hours. While the poor pledge rode; the meter ran. He had to dig deep in his jeans for that Reminder From My Memo: Won der if the boys living at Miss Mag gie Pickard's on McCauley street ever raised enough money to 'muz letters to. .... To The Editor: I have read many articles in the Daily Tar Heel, in reference to the name bands, and I agree so thorough ly with the sentiments expressed that I feel impelled to drop you a few lines. Please do not think I am boosting any particular band, but I want to state my own experience of this past weekend. I chaperoned two dances Friday night and Saturday afternoon at which the Carolinians furnished the music, and Saturday night I attended the President's Ball where I danced to the music of the same band. Everyone seemed to "be having a most enjoyable time. The guests at the fraternity dance all stayedjuntil the final number and the large crowd also stayed the entire evening at the Saturday night ball. I am sure that people do not stay and dance any place if the music is not good, and I am very sure that this same band did not come under the "$3000 Name Band" class. Then why don't the various classes patronize their local bands at least for the duration of the war? Perhaps by that time the students will be so used to having "home town talent" for their dances that it will be an estab lished custom. . Vara M. Gugert (Editor's note: We sit wordless in complete accord.) O ' To Komisaruk and Frankel : For years the people of Carrboro have read, without complaint, mis statement, wisecracks, and utterly false statements about the nearest neighbor to UNC, Carrboro. Now they are beginning to be noticeably resentful. The article appearing in last Sunday's Daily Tar Heel was in the misstatement category. Sincerely believing that Mr. Komisaruk and Mr. Frankel do not know what they are talking about, we would like to get a few things straight. Contrary to Yankee propaganda, the people of Carrboro are ordinary human beings, working and playing in the warm Southern sunshine. "The sleepy neighbors" awoke one day to buy these $500.00 houses that the two gentlemen spoke of. From then until now their efforts and pur ses have been concentrated in mak ing them livable homes. Now they are expected to sell them for the price they paid for them. Even the resi . dents of Carrboro have to live and it will be necessary for them to have houses in which to live after their homes are disposed of. The sleepy people are to be ignored really, they are the ten students of UNC who sleep through tlie same lec- tures as y'all do. No kidding, we suggest that some of the sleuths who find out every thing, try to learn of the real Carr boro. In the homes you would be welcomed with the customary South ern Hospitality any night except Sunday, when everyone goes to church. s All kidding aside, these people are honest -to -goodness hard working. God-fearing people the kind that makes our country what it is today. Frankie Durham Polly Durham (Other 8 UNC students from Carrboro.) zle' Smithfield Jimmy Jolieff. Jolieff, an amateur tobacco auctioneer, was so fond of practicing his strange chant that the other boys formed a plan to buy a muzzle through con tributions. They posted the plan on a certain very conspicuous door up stairs. Last time I heard, three pen nies and one stamp (slightly used) had been accumulated. O Saint Mary's Item : 'Twas Sunday afternoon and in the sacred halls of the institutions, boys were milling around like mustangs. But the mem bers of the opposite sex were very slow m descending the curving stair case Two State boys and two Tar Heels were unable to stand the sus pense any longer so they instituted a blackjack game, which proceeded merrily, in one of the side rooms. Shame on you fellows! What would the dean have done if she had known about it? You would have lost more than a couple of nickels. These Caro lina Gentlemen, tch, tch!
