HE WHO DIED FIRST...
(This editorial on George Loris Dover, a
former student of this University, appeared in
the Cleveland Times of last week. It is reprint
ed here as a tribute to a young American who
gave his life that we might continue to have
freedom, democracy, and those things of life
that we all cherished. Dover was a young fel
low like most of us here. He loved life as we do.
He gave his life that we might not lose ours.)
The people of Shelby and Cleveland County be
ing deeply moved by the deplorable and untimely
death of Lieutenant George Loris Dover in a
POLLS LAX...
The Student Council will have to improve its
performance of last year if it conducts tomorrow's
elections with adequate efficiency.
Last spring's polls were near brawls. Student
voters crowded about the registration desks,
snatched ballots without waiting to be registered,
hung around after they finished voting to mark
ballots for their friends. Voting rooms were plas
tered with political posters, campaigners throng
ed inside the doors pestering voters with handbills.

has lost a soldier truly battling for the right. The
maw of war is insatiable and its works, never con

Second: That Lieutenant Dover went forth to
war in answer to duty's highest call, the defense

yet might his people live, his nation stand and

QUIET PLEASE . . .
Recently it was decided to keep classrooms open
at night for the benefit of the student body. The
purpose was to eliminate the confusion in the li
brary during the evening when most students at
tempt to study. Less considerate students have
used the library as a social center which it is
not. The more arduous males on the campus have
considered the library a date bureau, and females
craving that extra ten per cent of attention have
flocked to the scholarly halls of the institution in
and lasting inspiration, the matchless concomi- expectation. Others have proved their presence

before finding a friend with a pack. The rest
found nothing more entertaining than bulling
with long lost buddies.
The opening of the classrooms has not allevi
ated the situation yet.
The library contains equipment necessary for

the campus. The library without its parasites is
the spot most conducive to study, and the student

TURN IN PLATFORMS...
The Emergency committee has repeatedly
warned all campus candidates to get their political
platforms in to the Daily 'Tar Heel in time for
publication in Thursday's issue. The deadline for
those platforms to be in the DTH office is 3 o'clock
this afternoon.
This move has been made by the committee in
order to show the campus something of the in
tentions of the candidates it is to vote on Thurs
day. It is intended to prevent politicians from
coasting into office on handshaking and without
taking any affirmative stand on campus prob
lems. The Daily Tar Heel has stated of ten that it will
print in bold face the words "No Platform" after
any candidate's name who has not revealed a plat
form. This will be done. Nominees, get your plat
forms in this afternoon by 3 o'clock!
you must date, eat, smoke, bull, or discuss assign
ments, do it in one of the classrooms.
WASHINGTON SLEEPS HERE. . .
f
Beginning tonight, the Playmaker's Theatre
delves into the realms of comedy to present Hart
and Kaufman's "George Washington Slept Here."
Carolina need go no further than the entrance
to the Playmaker Theatre to see a comedy practi--cally
on a Broadway par. Students might well
realize that E. Carrington Smith's programs, ex
cellent as they usually are, are not the only good
sources of entertainment on the campus.
The Playmaker group has been consistently
turning, out productions, most of which will ap
peal even to the simplest intellect. Beginning to
night, they "are producing a play that had a long nice profit, the local company dem-
run on Broadway and on the road, and has been
tested and proven by thousands of people to be
excellent entertainment. The usual acting of the
Playmaker cast keeps the campus production well
on an equal with professional productions.

We Won't Get It Anymore Because
We Didn't Support It Department;
Quite a little surprise to us was the
disinterest shown by the campus to
the fate of Moll's Baby-Esquire Com
bination, after the seemingly enthus
iastic welcome it received when dis
tributed last Monday. A happy birth,
but a short one, we wifl probably
never see a magazine of its type
again. Reason were the death blows
dealt it by the "completely literary"
and "completely humor" magazine
supporters from both of the former
ly feuding mags Carolina Magazine
and the Tar an' Feathers who gang
ed up on it when it almost took their
place. Reason for its untimely death
too, go to the students who hesitated
to support the proponents of Baby
Esquire Combination, to the Ways
and Means Committee who wouldn't
abolish the other two and supplant
Baby-Esquire "because the campus
hadn't shown support for it." Now
after the smoke has cleared, it seems
that we still will have 20 and 24
page Mags and Tar an' Feathers
next year instead of the 36 page
Baby-Esquire we might have had,
unless we rouse from our slumbers
and rescue the combination magazine
from the end that the apathy of some
of us sent it to . . .
Found in the "Inside Deacontown"
department of Wake Forest's THE
STUDENT March magazine; "The
Daily Tar Heel over on the Carolina
campus has been begging editorially
lately for some changes in next year's
magazines there. They are consider
ing combining the Tar an' Feathers
and the Carolina Mag, and have ask
ed for
" . . a completely new type of mag
azine a campus magazine, to be
neither humor or literary . . . but one
exemplifying the best qualities of
both college and commercial publica
tion.' And, oh yes by the way.
That's what we've been shooting at
this year. Them's our sentiments. . ."
To which we can only embarrassed
ly answer that we're glad they were
Wake Forest's sentiments, but we're
sorry that our own students didn't
have them too ...
Advertisements are fast becoming
oddities within themselves. Coca
Cola still entertains us every Sunday
afternoon and signs off with the sug
gestion that we try the 'pause that
refreshes.' We are given the tip to
try a coke, and we couldn't live with
out the darned beverage. The an
nouncer's spiel produces that dry
gullet effect, and we race for the coke
automat or the soda fountain only
to find that no more dopes are to be
had.

To the Editor:
I've followed the dormitory vs city
cleaners controversy with consider
able interest, and I'd like to say in
the beginning that I am thoroughly
sympathetic with the dormitory man
agers. I know the trouble connected. with
collecting and distributing laundry
in the dormitories having aided in the
work myself. However, I do not blame
the laundries for raising their prices.
But, after raising their prices to meet
their increased operating costs they
went farther by slicing the dorm
managers' profits 5 per cent and tak
ing away the managers' free cleaning
privileges. Thus they cut profits for
the managers, took their free clean
ing away and raised the prices. This
made it a very profitless task for the
managers after the profits were split
three ways.
When an outside company came in
and began cleaning, and making a

"We'd like to do a little looking for ourselves,"

Now if you want dry cleaning you
have to take it to the cleaners, get it,

type of work, which isn't any too
good, and put yourself to a lot of
trouble.
The University gives the local
cleaners enough business to make
such harsh terms unnecessary for
them to make a profit. It's about time
they were forced to realize that they
are supposed to serve the public not
exploit it. If they don't want our
business on reasonable terms let them
tend their own business and allow us
to engage some other laundry without
their childish interferences.

Reincarnation might be all right in
EgyptKing Tut may rise from a
century-old grave and curse the de
spoilers of his tomb but when Rock
bottom comes back to life something
is definitely in the wind.
Contrary all prognostications poli
tics came in as a gentle breeze and
appears to be going as something
slightly under a zephyr. The emer
gency itself, double nominations have
taken the hellfire out of politics. Al
though the lads still hopefully roam
the lower quadrangle, the fact that
over half their votes now are scat
tered all over the hinterlands around
Chapel Hill has put the squelch on
handshaking activities.
As the ancient ones are saying,
"Politics ain't politics this year!"
If the war is over within the next
five years dorm boys at this little
college will have better facilities than
they have ever had before. Our mag
nanimous Uncle Samuel from D. C.
has put enough pipe into the. upper
quad to drain all the water around
Hatteras into Pacific. Speaking of
the Pacific, some bright theorist
wrote a treatise proposing that about
20 miles of the tip of Alaska be blast
ed away.
This would ruin Nome but it would
be worth it. According to our lad
such a procedure would let the Pa
cific current, a warm stream compar
able to the Gulf stream, run up
through he Bering straits, into the
'Artie ocean and thaw the entire
northern part of Alaska, the Mac
Kenzie river valley, and melt every
iceberg from Spitzenberg to Mur
mansk. Thus opening, obviously, new
areas for agriculture, etc.
Maybe a Jap invasion and artillery
session in our frozen province .would
be, as the man said, "a good thing."
At least it would use a lot of enemy
explosives.

That makes it different from the
other riots around here. The Mag sit
uation is a riot, too. People on pub
lications have been tearing their hair,
beating their breasts and gnashing
their molars. They have been ex
horting the campus. The campus re
fuses to be exhorted.
When candidates at the CPU
stump speeches the other night
brought up the issue, half the audi
ence strolled out. Well, maybe they
left because the coed curfew had
tolled. That's what the speakers
said.

Other riots'include the OSCD. Har
ris is a riot by himself but when
the whole organization is considered,
the riot reaches chaotic proportions.

zle out while he wrote the very news
story about it, Hayden Carruth de
veloped the nine-year twitches camp
ing on doorsteps until the last went
off ok.
Coed elections are another riot.
Again, coeds are a riot by themselves
if we gave the word a slightly dif
ferent connotation. When the ladies
flocked to the polls by the thousands
it was something. Especially when
we consider that there aren't a thous
and coeds on the campus.
Enough about riots.
