Those in our armed forces now and those sub ject to the draft have no problem to face that compares with the one which the population will have to face only too soon or not soon enough. Men going into the war have a definite pattern to follow, but the remaining public has a task lying ahead of it which is not at all defined. Only a minority realizes that in a year or so we will face the world's hardest and most broad spread depression. With increased spending ne cessitated by the war and with the loss of man power in industry we are virtually cutting out our core and building up . our outer shell. It is inevitable that a partially hollow sphere will col lapse at some point. Appropriations made by Congress exceed any war expenditures in the OFF HAND . By Tom Hammond GOING TO WASTE Mark Ethridge called Carolina "The Intellec tual Center of the South," but as far as the ma jority of the students are concerned, it ain't so. One would naturally expect, and Mr. Ethridge probably believed that a university which stands out from the rest in almost every other aspect would also have a unique group of students. At cessesof democracy which have ben the greatest university of the South, one might efited student government partici- hope to find a student body that would contrast with the carefree, irresponsible college kids that clutter up the usual American campus. As a matter of fact, the Carolina student body isn't really aware that this is the intellectual center of the South, and doesn't give a damn any way. They didn't come here because it is a great grindstone ... By Bucky Harward Calmly and quietly, Dean Brad shaw told the Student Legislature and all student government last Wednesday night that either it -would have to measure up to the crisis or else be closeted for the duration. The Dean's speech was no threat. It was an appeal that campus leaders modify and adapt their government for quick decisions and efficent ac tion necessary on a wartime campus. For, as long as the student adminis tration meets and handles its prob lems with the essential speed and ef ficiency, overburdened South build ing has no desire to take on the in creased load of governing the cam pus. Except for a few isolated in stances, the University administra tions have never itched sufficiently to take back any part of the right to self government which it has given to Carolina students. But what South building has given, that also can it take away. And unless the campus and its leaders wake up into a wartime campus, the administration may find it necessary to take back student government un til the war is over. t . With that- retraction, of course, would go all the training in respon sibility and citizenship and the pro- pants for so many years.

Students have begun to accept in earnest the horrible extent of the far-flung war disasters to soldiers and civilians. Today marks the seventh day of the Red Cross-World Student Service $1,000 drive for financial and material aid to American soldiers, citizens and students in the war-torn parts of the world. In this short time, the organization has already reached the half way mark due to the efficient management by Jean Hahn, Hundley Gover, and Dick Railey and the quick co-operation of the students through the dormitories, fraternities, YMCA, Coed Sen ate, and IRC. Here is one worthwhile fund that overcame general student apathy and really got more done with less talk in the shortest time. NO PEACE OF MIND . . . is. how to graduate. Ideas remain unthought, knowledge remains unexplored while the Caro lina gentleman and the Carolina coed spend their time being "collegiate." Carolina intellectualism continues to be the exclusive property of the f ac- His near-ultimatum was not a slap in the face to Carolina student gov ernment. For student administra tion this year despite the perpetual lack of coordination and slackness in duty in certain offices has been head and shoulders above student government . in any year previous. Besides, the damnable apathy now manifested in the student adminis tration is not an isolated sin. That same apathy and complacency have been continually manifested in the whole nation and some of its gov ernmental agencies ever since the significance of Pearl Harbor failed to blot out business and life as usual." But the fact that the fault is wide spread will not exempt student gov ernment from necessary consequenc es. It, like South building and Wash ington, must begin to adopt a policy of quick and intelligent action, to cut out the quibbling, to centralize and coordinate power and authority. Student leaders next year must be the best available. Political parties have an obligation to the campus to forget their customary mudslinging and petty inter-party bickerings and nominate the most qualified candi dates. Candidates, as has already been suggested, should present their qualifications and a definite plat forms, perhaps at an assembly of the student body. The student body itself must for once drop its apathy toward elections and take a sincere best man. Student government organizations, not only the Council and the Legis lature, but the PU board and Inter dorm and Interf rat councils, the Uni versity dance committee, and all others must stop to take stock of ex ility and a small group of students, failing to in- and active interest in putting in the fluence the trivial lives of the majority of the campus population. Every now and then some speaker waxes elo quent on that beautiful illusion, the American College Student "You are the leaders of tomor row TTnon irnur cVirmMoTa rooto -fan r-P Awn ica.

Carolina is remarkably well equipped for per forming a university's job preparing youth for and-chain of interminable committee meetings. Students working on the campus constitution must retackle the job with energy and intensity, throw lives as useful, intelligent, happy citizens.

There is no place in America for students who wish to forget about the war until it really reaches them personally in the way of selective service. This war is an all-out affair, and there should be no complete ease of mind until the danger of totalitarianism has passed. The relative importance of staff nominations decreased still more when the Student Party an nounced its choice of publication heads Thursday night without waiting for staff opinion. In the past, the staffs of the Carolina Magazine, Tar an' Feathers, and the Yackety-Yack voted on their choice for editors, which Usually have not . leaders but take an interest in and mlluenced much the nominations made by both criticize their administration.

This new action seems to indicate more clearly Eternal missing link in Carolina student government, ever since it graduated from the Di and Phi has been some means of adequately in forming the student body on critical issues and then ascertaining its opin ion on the same. Some new system, speedy and accurate, must be worked out. The whole student body, too long pampered in its collegiate whims, must cooperate and participate in student government for the first time.. It must not only pick its keyboard.. . Lou "We the People" Harris, view ing the inauguration of War Time as vital, important strategy, thinks the government should move the country up in time not a mere hour but an entire year. "Then well really be ahead cf the rest of the world."- Well, that's what he said.

Lawrence In a great many courses in the University, especially in the elemen tary ones, a textbook is found to be practically essential. In mathema tics the student needs such a book for his formulas; his history, for the important facts ; in science, for meth ods; and so on. Even in advanced classes the student often finds a text book valuable. What is true in other fields is true in the realm of religion. Religion is not simply a matter of feeling; it is also a matter of the intellect. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind" at the same time as "with all thy heart." Most of us are in the elementary grades as re gards our religion. We need guidance in our study, and above all we need a textbook. In this matter we are in deed fortunate, as we have one that is unsurpassed the Bible, and for us Christians specially the New Test ament. The New Testament is a practical guide to Christian Living and to Christian Doctrine. Unlike most textbooks it is fascinatingly in teresting, for there are no long com pendiums of religious maxims or moral precepts; but instead we have the record of what actual people did and said. In the Gospels we have brief accounts of the most wonder ful life ever lived, while in the Acts and the Epistles we have the story of the impact of that life on others. We see what Christianity meant to ordinary people. Most of the record is simple and easily understood, but nevertheless there are many places that will test the ability of the ad vanced student. We are all interested in living and try more or less intelligently to real ize the full and abundant life. It is the path of common sense to use whatever help we can find to attain this end. It is the custom in this university to present a Bible to the student when he graduates. It would seem rather that it should be given him when he matriculates, for it is especially during his undergraduate years that he needs a textbook for living. If we are striving for right relations with God, the Universe, and our neighbors; if we would un derstand the art of living or even if we would be ordinarily intelligent; then we will read our Bibles regular-ly. 11 Days of Ticket Buying TILL BAGDAD DADDY Pick Tlieatre "sun day. a TWO-FOLD PURPOSE...
