At least 102 students packed Memorial hall to hear Roger Baldwin, chairman of the Ameri can Civil Liberties Union, give one of the pithi cst addresses of the year. Those 102 students were fortunate in hearing Mr. Baldwin speak of . the dangers, the meaning, and the attacks on America's greatest document the Bill of Rights. Mr. Baldwin was asked to address the campus by the Carolina Political Union. Needless to say, the members of the Administration as well as the CPU were embarrassed by the sparse attend ance. The CPU indirectly receives student money from the Debate Council, Graham Memorial, the Grail and other student organizations. It is plain that if the student body does not wish to have speakers here on the campus, it should make that desire heard and understood. There have been many who have criticized the bringing of big-name speakers who either can not or will not say anything new. Yet, when there comes a man who is respected as the foremost in his field, a man who is vitally interested in stu dent government, and a man who is as able a speaker as Roger Baldwin, Memorial hall is prac-' tically empty. Roger Baldwin said something. He spoke of the things which affect us as individuals and as a nation civil liberties. The question as to whether the campus wants speakers and as to whom it wants to hear is stalemating members of the CPU and IRC For the members of these organizations do not want to waste student fees on that for which the stu dents have no desire. The question and its solu tion belong to every student. Does the student oody want to hear men who have something to -say or does it wish to jam Memorial hall for the morbid curiosity for seeing a bigshot ? FROM CAPITOL TO CAMPUS By Jar Richter A CP's Washington Correspondent Jobs The Civil Service commission faces a tremen dous task. Recent passage of the Rams peck amendment brings So per cent of federal jobs an all-time high under commission scrutiny. Workers in non-war agencies must be f unneled into at-war agencies. Countless new workers must be found and dovetailed into the govern ment army. This means thousands of potential jobs for college people, whose specialized training is eag erly sought. Often the government is stepping in, through civil service, to give college people on-the-job training "majors" in lines where they are needed most. - An example is the recent move to enlist college women for 4mens work." As laboratory aides in army arsenals, they insxvet gauges used in test ing ordnance materials. Coeds who wish such jobs should have at least two years of college work, including some- physics, chemistry and trigonometry. The goal of civil service is 100 girls a month for the next 10 months. Initial pay, 51620 annually. Although about ST per cent of government jobs, are "in the field." as Washington! ans blithely dismiss the United States, some are located here in the capital. Dent take too seriously what you read and hear cf crowded and costly living con ditions here. A salary cf 52,000 here is equal, roughly, to cne cf $l,S0O in a city cf comparable sire, living quarters are crowded to be sure, but turn-over of tenants is high. Which means you'll always find a place if yon watch closely and jump quickly. If you were one of the seme 16,000 college peo ple who filed with civil service last month for a junior professional assistant job. it may in terest you to know the exams wont be given until this spring. ArrTs the best guess. o It's crn season "indxfiritelv on senders and graduates in chemistry, physics and enginrln?. So hot is the pursuit that civil service has aban doned competitive examinations in these fields probably for the duration. Simply show on your application blanks that you have had requisite training. In the case of successful candidates who are seniors, "provisional appointments" will be made. Which means jobs, come spring and gradu ation. You'll be classed as a "junior professional as sistant" with starting pay $2,000 a year, al though many agencies will try to get you for less . . . unless you say on your blank that you won't take less. Others of Uncle Sam's favorite nephews and nieces are economists. Currently favored are those with at least two years of graduate .work or experience. Successful application through civil service may bring a job paying from $2,600 to 55,600. War It is unlikely, according to national Selec tive Service headquarters, that any student in the 20-year-old draft age group will be called up before June. The lottery isn't until March. New draft registrants won't be completely classi fied until sometime in May. General Hershey's office has cleared up the confusion on how new lists will be integrated with the old. The answer is, they won't be. Not exactly. Instead the War department will begin an en tirely new plan, about June 1, of specifying not only quota numbers but also the age group from which quotas are to be filled. Thus, if the army says it wants men 21 to So, the old list will be used ; if it wants men below 21 or above So, the new list will be used. The latest advice to collegians from Selective Service is still, "stick to your college work until you're called." Patriotic fervor has its place, but a wild rush of volunteers will only serve to com plicate planning. Coeds are in for careers, with or without hus bands to manage. For "the ultimate" is 9,000,000 more women workers. The National Education Association's educa tional policies commission (President Conant of Harvard is a member) is recommending a plan to anticipate Selective Service by two or three years catch promising boys as they leave high school, steer them into fields where they will be of most use in the war effort. A "reserved category" of most promising boys 17 through 19 would be allocated to schools and colleges for training. The reserved category" would be picked "absolutely irrespective of fi nancial status of their parents, with Uncle Sam financing the advanced education. IN PASSING... "Ever since 1931, when Japan invaded Man churia in defiance of her solemn obligatiens, we have witnessed a steady deterioration in all in ternational relationship. National honor, which alone can provide the basis of international re lationship if the law of the jungle is not to pre vail, seems to have lost its coral force. Nothing has stood in the way cf those nations which, hav ing built great military establishments, have chosen to disregard the moral law. They have swept on from victory to victory. Nothing will arrest them except superior force. We are con fronted with more than the spectacle of a world war. We are cenf rented with a revolution in hu man affairs comparable with the extirnishment of the Roman Empire which launched mankind into the Dark Ages. If the aggresscr nations win ths war new Dark Ages win envelop ns and a r.w screstrflc slave order win take the place of car rr crx?er of free men." Robert C. Qoth ? cf Rutgers University, cites the rv;,T rn whv pce-ving peoples have Kn thnvsri into war. Certain factions on the campus have asserted that the Daily Tar Heel editorial columns have been prejudicially closed to letters expressing opin ion with which we do not agree. The editorial columns of this paper are open at all times to any student on this campus, and any letters that are written to tHe editor will be published in the order they are received. letters to ... To The Editor: May I beg the loan of your columns to give vent for a moment to some of the "starry-eyed" amazement and wonder that were mine when I read, in the Carolina Magazine, the article "Academic Myth," written by Louis "Comma" Harris. Mr. ',' Harris has hit out with forthright vigor at some of the basic faults in our academic system. He has also dealt a few glancing blows at the English language; but, no matter! After all, what is life, if not for living? And writing? After all, does not Phillips Russell teach "hardy living"? After all, does he not teach "the kind where you lose yourself in your work"? After all, unfortunately, he does not also teach you to lose that work. After all? O I hesitate, as Dean Bradshaw does not, "to stick my neck out on a limb," for I know that he whoxloes so is apt to land on "his academic breeches." Nor do I wish to indulge in any, odd, "yellowed" Louis Harris, "like Dr. Crane." But might I suggest that a possible remedy for the present confusion, existing in Carolina journalistic cir cles, would be to abolish Tar an Feathers, and substitute Mr. Har ris. He could "silent" all opposition with his first "manefesto." Then, again, perhaps, what we really need is "better economic worlds than Erich W. Zimmerann." "The situation (is) a curious one, indeed." But, hark, was that the mill whistle, or just my old cow? In either event, 111 have to leave. Yours truly, Pyke Johnson To The Editor: Having read The Academic Myth by Mr. Louis Harris, we learned that Mr. Harris like Frank Graham, Har ry Russell, Rex Winslow, Bradshaw, Zimmerman, and Odum's cow; dis likes Richmond P. Bond, beauty, Raymond Adams, Zuhn, and truth; also that this is the first war in which mankind and Mr. Harris have participated. The latter is obviously true. It was also Mr. Harris unhappy blunder to appropriate the term "second-hand emotion" from a short story recently appearing in our campus magazine. How he did it we don't exactly know, but he simultaneously blasphemed Bond, Kuhrs, Adams and certain ivory towers with, "second hand emotion" and aloofness. O Now so far as we know, we created this term, and intended there with, to imply a state of emotion un connected with any real object. This condition we considered possible only to a very limited number of human beings among whom we would not include Bond, Kuhn, or Adams. As a matter of fact. Dr. Adams has a analogous term sentimentality. This starry-eyed professor who, we are told, is utterly wihout reality, de fines sentimentality as emotion "dis torted beyond the limits proper to the object stimulating this emetic-n. e This class-room text in view of re cent accidents such, as Pearl Harbor and The- Academic JLfjrfA might in dicate that Dr. Adams has returned to the world of reality. However, I would prefer to put it another way. Dr. Adams with his living and teach ing cf the "basics' has never left ti world of reality and it's high, time Mr. Harris found it! He's cf age now. Though, I might add, this doesn't imply; active participatka since his services are considered mere valuable on the home front cnHfrg tt- See what we mean by second hand crx sen? In closing I would like to make an appeal to the students, that we at tempt in sense way to mitigate the excruciating embarrassment Frank Graham, Paul Green, Harry Russell, Hex Wirslcw, Bradshaw, Zimmer man, and Odum's ecw must he suf fering in their unsolicited alignment witi Mr. Harris versus good taste.

It tells the tale of Witherby, Our hero, ivhorri tee left suspended, Outside the dentist's office gory, So NOW TO GET ON WITH THE STORY: When Mr. Witherby was called Within the dentist's lair, And when he had been gently shoved Into the" dentist's chair, . 'Twas then he slowly looked above And saw it hanging there .That diabolic instrument Enveloped his whole stare. There it shone with evil gleam To mock his coward brain; There it sparkled in the light, An omen speaking pain. He cowered lower in his seat; The atmosphere grew chill; He closed his eyes and clenched his fist; As closer drew the drill. . It grumbled low and ominous When first it touched his molar; Mr. Witherby 'cried out With tones that wrung with dolor. With seven fingers and a drill, A mirror, cloth and file, Our hero found his mouth quite full It somewhat cramped his style. "Oh, 'ockor!" loud our hero gurgled, oo're 'illing ee! Peeze sthop! Oooo! (gulp) ow!! (blurp) ake i athway! -Bephore I b'ow my thop!" At wast the d willing aw was done, The ooth was fully dwiiled; There still wemained a gaping hole, That must of needs be filled. The nurse came in and mixed the lead; Our hero gripped his knees; The Doc picked up his gleaming tool "Now open wider, please." Two hours hence with jaws undone, Our hero went away; But later on tie telephone He heard the doctor say: "Now be calm and quite collected, And don't think you've been neglect ed, But a trifle of an error has occurred. Through a misdirected drilling, And a slightly misplaced filling, The beauty of your teeth is somewhat blurred. "I was somewhat to the south When I worked within your mouth And I drilled the wrong bicuspid, nothing worse. And to show you my remorse, With no charge to you cf course, III correct my error, 2 p. m. on Thurs," would like a hint as to the extent to which their dates would appreciate a ten to fifteen dollar week-end f or a present this year.

By Stuart .Mclver Our judiciary has clarified itself on an issue important to all of us. Everybody's friend, Hubert Jarboe, alias several people, got a total of six years for his coat-stealing activities, four for his Carolina work and two for the theft of a Duke coat. It is logical then to infer that a crime com , mitted against a Duke student does not constitute much of a crime. Ap parently it is no more important than stealing a sweater off a dog. What the penalties in this state for dog sweater stealing are we have no idea. Doutbless the state is without sta tutes on this score since few Carolina dogs wear sweaters. Our dogs are all a hardy lot. Take Dan, for instance, or the Hound, first soloist with Spi vak much to the dismay of the union. Similarly, there are probably no statutes dealing with the theft of coats from Duke students. The Dukes, it might be added, are not as tough ened as cur campus dogs, though, judging from remarks heard from the Carolina section at the game last Friday night, they both have much in common. No official statement has yet been issued on the status of Duke students as voters. We feel that the Dukea are being wronged. Many of them are people. They should be given a place in society. Or at least they should be given some sort of a chance. 0 Quite apart from the fact that bands could produce only marginal music for $750, there is another ar gument against the recent cut that seems to me unanswerable. In times like these morale should be kept high President Roosevelt has already ex pressed his hope that baseball will be able to continue. Last spring Tommy Dorsey brought down a hard-fighting nine that nosed out Johnny Satterfield's boys by one run in as bitterly contested a soft ball game as this campus has seen. After these games Dorsey plays for dances and makes enough money to defray his athletic expenses. If he is cut to $750, his team will be un able to play here, and a great rivalry may be ended. No press releases have been sent out yet on the strength cf Dorsey's team, but he should be able to field another powerful unit, tbough the loss cf Elman to the army may prove serious. Satterfieida team will a gain be led by Bob Saunders, ace trumpet man. This must be a showdown. Should the legislature be given unlimited powers? Let them tamper around. Yes. Let them even pass an occas ional bill, but when they begau to in terfere with the hit-and-run, the curve-ball and tie hard-hit line drive, they are going too far.
