Bailey, Tar' . Heel Senator,
Signed by GPU for Broadcast
Congressman
To Hold Platform
Tuesday Night ,
By Paul Komisaruk
Josiah W. Bailey, North Carolina's
senior senator, will address the nation
Tuesday night over a coast-to-coast
radio hook-up from a Carolina Politi
cal union Memorial hall platform, Rid
ley Whitaker, CPU head, said yester
day. The speech will be broadcast from
8:30 to 9 o'clock over Mutual's affili
ated stations.
Not Political
Bailey, a candidate to succeed him
self in the Senate, is seeking his third
senate seat. Though' Tuesday night's
address will be his only public appear
ance in the state prior to the primaries,
' Bailey made it clear that his talk would
not be of a political nature, and his ad
dress was in no way to be considered a
campaign speech. He announced his
speech topic as "Let Us Have Faith."
His address, however, will mark the
first time a North Carolina Congress
man has addressed the people of the
state since Pearl Harbor.
Veteran Cog
Described by political observer
George Britt as "lanky, lantern-jawed,
spectacled ... a veteran cog in the old
Simmons political machine which ruled
North Carolina for SO years," Britt
adds that the Senator "is an orator who
can thrill the boys at the forks of the
creek for hours at a stretch." .
Judging by the enemies he has chos
en, Bailey is a "man of caliber. He has
taken on the loudest and the most popu
lar," Britt remarked.
Long-remembered for his face-to
face disagreement with Huey Long in
the Senate chambers, Bailey has taken
positive stands on all the issues con
fronting leaders on Capitol Hill.

Cracks Profs
In New Book
Professional educators have suc-
cumbed to the popular belief that
change means progress and that edu
cational theory and practice must be
in "the mode of the fashion," Dr. Edgar
W. Knight, Kenan professor of edu
cation in the University declares in his
new book, "Progress and Educational
Perspective."
The book, which has just been pub
lished by the MacMillan Company of
New York, is the 14th volume of the
Kappa Delta Pi Lecture Series.
Strong in his faith that democracy
must be preserved, purified and ad
vanced, Dr. Knight inveighs against
its abuses and deflates claims of edu
cators that popular education and
higher education in particular is essen
tial to economic and social success.
Dr. Knight attacks the materialistic
spirit of American education with its
emphasis on quantitative and numeri
cal criteria of effectiveness. "Real
educational progress must be measured
in brains rather than bricks," he as
serts. Relative to the current trend in edu
cation, Dr. Knight says: "In times of
emergency, economic or military, it is
not the function of sound education to
change its aims. Its task is to do better
what it is expected to do anyway, to
serve as a stabilizing influence, to em
phasize more strongly permanent val
ues in human life."

The University party victorious in
last month's battle of ballots last
night elected George Smith, rising sen
ior from Wilson and last of Carolina's
old line politicians, to the wartime
chairmanship of the group as success
ful Erwin Bowie stepped out.
Jack Markham, of Durham, also ris
ing senior, was named to the secre
tary's post, and Ed Tisdale will take
over the treasurer's duties.
Veteran of a half-dozen underdog
campaigns, Smith's election climaxed
his political "miracles" of the past two
years. Don Bishop, running on an out
side chance for Daily Tar Heel editor,
was guided to a surprise victory by the
quiet Smith. A resident of Steele dorm
itory, well-supported by lower quad
rangle politicoes, Smith last year work
ed with John McCormick to win an
"impossible victory" at the polls. This
year, faced with a dismantled upper
quad, the Wilson boy aided Steve Peck
and Sam Gambill in capturing the vice
presidency and secretary-treasurer's
post of the Student council.
Member of many class committees,
and active in student government in the
forefront as well as in the political
aspect, Smith may continue, his duties
outside of the party.
Secretary Markham, formerly treas
urer of his sophomore class and recent
candidate for the senior presidency,
succeeds Floyd Cahoon in his new position.
McKinnon
Challenges
Juniors
By Billy Webb
Bill McKinnon, president of the sen
ior class, yesterday brushed a fleck
of dust from his coat lapel and heav
ing a bored sigh issued the traditional
challenge to the junior class for a clash
on the Softball diamond Friday, May
15. "I regret there is so little enthusi
asm within the class," yawned McKin
non, "but the juniors' possibilities of
winning are too slight Xor excitement."
Facing the Lilliputian junior squad
with an undefeated record having
swamped last year's graduating class,
the seniors after deliberation decided
that more than one pre-game practice
would result in a top-heavy score em
barrassing to their schoolmates. Play
ers will be notified next week of the
practice time.
"With such men as Sam Mordecai,
two-year intramural wrestling champ,
Gwynn Nowell, star football guard;
and Pinky Elliot, Charlotte mobster,
on the team," stated McKinnon, "well
beat the juniors if not in softball."
Don Wilson and Ellis Freeman,
sophomores, will umpire the contest
which will be held at 5 o'clock on coed
field No. 1. The seniors will be dis
tinguished by white golf caps and green
shirts while the juniors will wear long
visored railroad engineer type caps,
and yellow shirts. "Of course," added
McKinnon, "the yellow shirts worn by
the juniors are no indication of their
character."
Senior coeds have also challenged
junior coeds to a softball duel making
Friday's battle a doubleheader. Tem
porary bleachers will be set up for
fans, but a request has been made
that there be no Brooklyn spectator
tactics.
Renewing the old softball rivalry,

THE MAY COURT, grouped around May Queen Peggy Lou Futrelle, that
will furnish the coed pulchritude in tonight's pageant, "Carolina Meets the
Challenge." The pageant will open at 8:30 in Kenan stadium ... all invited;
admission free.
May Carnival, Pageant,
Victory Ball Top Bill
K By Hayden Carruth
Carolina's renovated May celebration, taking over where the old May Court
'estivities have been abandoned, will be the main source of campus entertain
nent today, starting with the May Carnival in Kenan stadium this afternoon
it 4 o'clock and continuing with a stream of celebration far into the night.
Main feature of the day will be the "Carolina Meets the Challenge" pageant,
presenting an array of student talent grand enough to fill the grass-green
stage of Kenan stadium, 120yards be--
tween goal posts. Beginning promptly
at 8:30, the pageant will progress for
about an hour and a half, presenting
the May Court, the Story of Carolina
and the War, the NROTC and the
CVTC, the annual address to the stu
dents by Dr. Frank Graham, who will
fly from Washington to appear on the
program, and presenting the Univer
sity regular awards night.
The theme of the pageant will be the
part that Carolina as a major univer
sity has played in the nation's war
effort, in the past, the present and the
future. The work that has been car
ried on in several departments for post
war planning will be included in this
chronological panorama of Chapel
Hill.
The presentation of awards will take
the place of the traditional peace-time
Awards Night, reducing the time usu
ally spent for the ceremonies consider
ably.
The May Carnival, which will begin
in Kenan stadium at 4 o'clock, will fill
the place on the campus formerly tak
en by Student-Faculty day, presenting
the maze of booths, games and contests
that made this function "the most col
orful of the year" in the past.
The "most outstanding" feature of
the carnival will be the introduction of
a coed-male vs. faculty softball game,
and Holly Smith will serve as target

The announcement, which came from

formative lecture directly related to
warden duties."
Immediately following the lecture

Orson Wells, noted director.

Radio-Journalism

ing at 10 :30 under the trees near Davie
Popular to elect next year's officers,

terday. .

Referendum
?ails!
Combination
Insured
Plunged for the last time into the
caldron of campus opinion, the newly
established combination maga z i n e
emerged successfully from its last test
yesterday, when the student body failed
by more than 1,000 votes to reach the
necessary minimum in the referendum
seeking disestablishment of the Stu
dent legislature's combination bill. The
vote -was 235 in favor of the combina
tion, 360 against.
Only one precinct was opened yes
terday, polling the votes of the entire
student body. A desk set up at the
YMCA remained open from 9 until 5
o'clock, and Student councilmen who
served as referendum officials claimed
the only period of extensive voting ac
tivity occurred during the chapel hour.
Vote Too Small
Most agreed that the vote was too
small to be an accurate meter of cam
pus opinion. If conclusions may be
drawn from the small vote, leaders
agreed that nothing more than an ap
proximately split opinion was indicat
ed. The few extra votes recorded
against the combination probably can
be explained by the fact that those op
posed - to combination would be the
most likely to register their opinion.
Noticeable we're the non-voting pro
ponents of the combination measure,
believing that by keeping away from
the polls they represented their opinion
more strongly than by voting.
No More Trouble
No further obstacles were anticipat
ed by the combinationists last night.
It is expected that the Publications
Union board will set about appointing
the new editor-in-chief within a few
weeks. The position will be filled by
the appointment of one of the present
editors-elect, Sylvan Meyer for Car
olina Magazine and Ben McKinnon for
Tar an' Feathers.
The combination mag will not begin
publication until September, 1942; the
status quo will be maintained through
out the rest of this year.
Sugar Consumer

tration and closiner of elementary

with county school superintendent R.
H. Claytor, Moody W. Durham, chair

two and Principal W. J. Bolger, Jr.
