To the Student Body: Elections are over . . . and from among the tears, joys and drunks that went with the final returns I hasten to tell you the most necessary thing that we must all get out of a trying cam ,paign. This aU-important thing is UNITY. Bert Bennett is the new president of the student body. Three-fourth of the students who voted signi fied they were behind him in his every endeavor. But what about the other fourth who voted for me and the 1200 who did not vote at all? To those I say: From this moment there are no parties, there are no rivals. We are all in a common cause together. We must all work to gether for a cause that is far larger and far more important than any petty politics or preferences. Bert has the makings of one of the greatest pres idents we have ever had here at Carolina, l?ut even so he cannot do the job he is capable of if all of us do not cooperate with him. I for one have already pledged myself and my services to Bert and to the furtherance of Student Govern ment at Carolina. Our president needs your sup port, and it is with the assurance that we will never have cause to worry seriously about the future of this campus or its self government if this plea for unity is heeded. Sincerely, Hobart McKeever. So says Hobart McKeever in a letter which he asked to be printed in this morning's Daily Tar Heel. So he expresses the sentiments of ev ery serious minded student on the campus. What he says above is not political congratulations, but a sincere request that the students on this campus realize their job, anddo everything in their power to preserve student government on this campus. .It's going to be a hard job. When Dean Brad shaw warned the Emergency Committee three months ago that student government would eith er have to meet the crisis or be folded and closet ed and mothballed for tne duration, he wasn't fooling and bluffing. Next year will undoubtedly be the most critical which this University has yet endured. And that assertion covers a lot of ground. The naval unit, the draft, rising living costs and countless other wartime problems will necessitate excellent student government or none at all. A lot of former BMOC's who vainly fancied themselves the champions of the student body don't like to admit it, but the fact is the Univer sity administration must remain responsible for the campus. If and when student government flops, fails to polish off its problems next year or the year after, the administration will have no alternative but to hold it over for a purely peacetime measure. That's a gruesome prospect. Purely adminis trative problems have been tripled within the last six months. South building officials already have their hands too full to give adequate atten tion to campus organizational problems should student government fail. What, then, can be done and who can do it? First, student government leaders must under stand their tremendous responsibility. Louis Har ris, in one of his more lucid moments last fall, wrote an article for the Mag called "You Have Seen Their Faces." In if he justly condemned student government bigwigs for losing them selves in trifling problems of their own making. Purpose of any sort of government was to help people live together, and this could best be ac complished if student leaders would begin to take their Heads out of the sand and tackle the bigger problems and those that affected the student body adequate housing, lighting and social facilities ; student voices in curriculum ; a better physical education program. Second, the campus itself must rid itself of its perpetual lethargy. Ninety per cent of the stu- EXIT THE LONGHAIR ... There has been much talk recently about the campus new organization, the Carolina Work shop. Students have wondered "just what is this ' thing?" and many have questioned its worth. Its origin is simple ... its purpose simpler. It has been a recognized fact that for several years students' work in the various creative art fields (and there are six) music, dramatic art, creative writing, radio, modern dance and paint ing has failed to make its proper impress on the general campus. In past years anything at all that was creative reeked of stringy long hair, peg-leg pants, and loud green suits with orange polka-dot Ities to the general campus eye. And then the "long hairs" started going around in crew cuts and wearing short pants and most of that sort of talk died out. But there was still the need to place the arts and crafts on the "recognition" roll call. Not that apybody is ex pecting a student artist to be plastered all over the papers with a three column picture like the one of Patterson Award winner, Paul Severin. However, a group of students and faculty members gotBtogether in the fall of 1941 and talked over the situation and its problems. For several weeks they met informally in Paul Green's office and it was finally decided that all red tape would be cut out. . . . That all would be boiled into the job of integrating the creative arts so that there would be no petty squabbling among the different departments. Frorri there the task would be to project the work of the cre ative art students more adequately to the stu dent body. These meetings grew into what is now the Carolina Workshop. The festival is an outgrowth of the Workshop's platform and it will fill the need to give creative expression be fore the public. In the final analysis, the success of a sincere group like this rests on our shoulders alone. As is stated above, public support and encourage ment of the artist has always been stymied by the prejudicial factor of resentment and a "hand-off" relation due to a lack of knowledge and a misunderstanding of the creative person's function in the world. In this, the writer, artist, or painter, has sometimes abetted the prejudice of the majority by shutting himself up in the ivory tower of artistic condescension and the "they couldn't possibly understand me" attitude. The sincere artist is always the loser in this when the public confuses the fakers with the workers. The one Playmaker interested in doing as good a job of acting as a Paul Muni, will find his efforts ridiculed because there were four be fore him who were interested in the Art of Act ing (onstage or off) or in the Drahmah. The water-colorist will find his work unappreciated because there were ten longhairs before him who "dabbled" in watercoler, purely for tfie effect that their interest in the "artist's life" would create. Sharing the disgust of the average person for the individuals of this category, is the true art ist himself. That is why we have our Paul Greens, our V-7 actors such as Bob Bowers of this past year, and the type of people such as belong, to the Workshop Council. However, all their efforts would go to nought, if we, the gen eral students could not see the difference and lend support to their purpose. Once they have cleaned their own house, the least we could do is to encourage them in their efforts. dent body has been interested only one time this year in the working of its student government when the Legislature cut the dance expenditures. There'll be much larger problems and if student government is to, solve them intelligently, it will have to be with the aid not the indifference of the whole campus. What'll you have UNITY and student gov ernment or a South building ruled campus? TP Dailv T, Hee "JSM N dltoria Opinions o Columns o Letters Features music maker . . . By Brad IlcCoen Within a month there will prob ably not be any 35c records on sale. Plans to abandon the cheaper Decca, Bluebird, and Okeh labels are being mulled over by the executives of the three firms. You probably read the news story in the papers this week on how record production would be cut 70 per cent. This is due to a lacquer shortage and will affect Vic tor, Bluebird, and Decca twice as much as Columbia and Okeh. The latter company uses only a small a mount of the valuable substance and has a three year supply now on hand. Plans to reclaim old and broken records at 13c a pound have hit a snag. It will in all probability be succeeded by another and better plan. When buying a new record you will have part of the purchase price knocked off if you bring in an old used disc. RECORD OF THE WEEK: Fred Waring is putting out some good sweet records. "Buckle Down, Win socki" and "Moonlight on the Cam- -pus" are collegiate. Poley McClin tock's frog voice gives the old "Win socki" item a new twist. Here these and you'll like 'em. (Black Decca). across the desk . . . The newly elected officers of the student body face a school year which will be unlike all others since 1919. It is our opinion that they should abolish all student fees that represent peace-time luxuries. It it necessary that all unnecessary ex penses . be abolished in respect for both our-parents and the self-help students. Not only have many of the fees gone to organizations which are peace-time luxuries, but to some which have lost their usefulness. Today, we would like to take time out to question the value of the De bate Council. This organization re ceives 40 cents a quarter from each student which amounts to some $1400 a year. This year the Council sent four debaters to the mid-western states where they debated in some twenty odd debates and tournaments with various universities. Naturally, this proved a costly trip to the student body which received absolutely noth ing from their having taken the trip. It is true, however, that the Univer sity of North Carolina received rec ognition in the debating field. Debating is on the way out. It is fast losing ground to the round table discussion and the bull session. Formal speaking is a thing of the past. The failure of the Council to interest over .007 of the student body in the forensic art. The Council has been an expense to a campus which has had no use for it. Unlike the Carolina Mag, the De bate Council has done little to inter est the campus' in its activities. In defense of the Council, it must be said that they have given some of their funds to organizations which have no source for funds such as Carolina Political Union and the IRC. South building this year has held up the Debate Council's con tributions to these organizations be cause the administration doubted the right of the Council to give money away that was specifically ear-marked for their usage. Hence, it becomes apparent that something should be done either to do away with the fee completely or put it in the hands of the Legisla ture immediately where it can be employed wherever it is needed. This, indeed, is one of the pressing rea sons why the fees bill should be im mediately approved. We heard a former member of the Council state that the work of the Council should continue throughout the war. He felt it essential that the trips continue though on a smaller scale. It seems that the work of the debaters proved important to no one but the debaters. Further more, we have seriously doubted the value of the expenditures of student fees in peace-time much less in war time for trips. There is little doubt that there should be a debating group on a cam pus where some few wish to debate. Yet, we wish to ask whether the in tricate organization blessed with a large share of student fees should continue as it offers little to the student body at large? FOR VICTORY: BUY BONDS gyre and gimble ... by hayden carruth and barley moor Once a people proud and free In the year 14 B. C. Very near the Zieder Zee Lived in peace; And their single occupation Which supported the whole nation Was their singular salvation, Raising geese. But a strange and awful fate Overcame the poor and great, And it gave them all the gate, Son and brother; For a large and strengthened bloc Owned the ganders of the flock, And the geese were private stock Of another. Continuity of kind, YouH agree if you're not blind, Takes two sexes of a mind In any case; But a quarrel soon arose, And the blocs were deadly foes, So that each of them then chose A separate place Where they'd live and keep their geese Til they'd re-establish peace And had seen the fighting cease In their lands. So the geese found they were f orced To a plan they'd not endorsed: The two sexes were divorced Into bands. Then the geese all ceased to be In the year 13 B. C, And the people proud and free Had no way Of producing goods and cash To expend for gruel and hash, So the country went to smash Without delay. Then a wise man of repute Drew up from this dispute A new theory most astute, I. e., to wit: ' "If you've two that are not right, Don't just sit around and fight ; Make them one and kill the blight ; Never split."
