The greatest insult to student intelligence this year has been this continual harping on mere surface frailties while the dis heartening facts stand behind, dropping hints. The Facts: Chapel Hill, vastly changed since last year, will dump what's left of its pre-war glamor as soon as draft mach inery has had a chance to warm-up. Students who have devoted three-fourths of their time to extra-curricular participation in government, publications, athletics and clubs will turn to their books or the bus station. This University, to meet the change, will , have to train specialists in communications, chemistry, math, languages. Once-revered Carolina institutions, recipients of student time, will bow out for the duration. Falling finances will clip-off many things previously excepted as necessities. There will be a more important job than that of passing bud gets and planning houseparties and throwing dances and pro posing amendments and giving South Building hell. Students in Carolina, as in every other college, will help win the war here, or taste gunpowder and fire and shrapnel sooner. Carolina will no longer be hindered by student wastefulness or it will feel the last folds of its liberalism falling away in favor of march-time and discipline. Significance: Students must plan today, not tomorrow to get information on reserves, join them. They must start giving up many of the things which stand in their path if they are to de vote all their time to getting their degrees, preparing for the tomorrow that must come. Naval, Marine and Army reserve branches, bogged down in their greatest rush for applications, may not be able to aclmit many more in the next few months. Students who expect to remain in school will undoubtedly not be exempted on any educational grounds. The Don'ts: Don't look for favors. Don't expect too much. Don't seek immunity. Don't try to kid yourself. Don't pity your self. Don't hide behind confusing headlines. Don't put the mo- r-OTt"" Measures befn A1 ' " J "Hon't confuse your- mQJixaty .... . . e cne ternoie nwu. self. xiere's only one issue to WIN this war now. There's onl one possibility--do what YOU can. There's only one solution know WHAT you're doing. There'll only be one question asked when the Man with the Whiskers comes calling: "What can you do to help win the war?" ; . The guy with the right answer will get the nod. Biding Time Barneses is missing. Who stole him, we cannot be certain. Several authentic similar incidents in the past several years turned out to be the work of over-zealous Carolina students who just wanted "to stir up a little spirit." We can be certain of one thing under present circumstances, no Carolina student has the right to journey over to Raleigh to wrest the ram back. Here's why : O We are not yet certain that State boys stole him. O There will always be plenty of spirit for the game with State. Last year there waff too much. Both student bodies pro ceeded after the game to join in an adolescent free-for-all. More such incidents might develop into the situation which exists now between Alabama and Auburn who have not played for 20 years because student body antagonisms prevent the two schools from any reasonable contact. O Our team leaves tomorrow for a game with a Tulane team that is waiting for an opportunity to avenge its defeat last Sat urday. Any haywire demonstration against State would hurt the spirit of the campus sendoff today and thus our own team's morale. We can bide our time until we know conclusively where the Bam is ; better still, until our own team settles the annual issue Saturday week with its customary precision and power.

FOR THIS ISSUE: Ships were not sliding down the ways on schedule when Jerry Land's Maritime Commission investigated the case of a New Orleans ship-yard. Ship-yard officials claimed that there was not enough skilled labor to meet the schedules. It would have taken 700 more men to do the job. But 7000 negroes who had registered lo cally for defense training had been turned down. Situations like this have aggra vated our man-power shortage until it has become America's number one bottleneck. The power to produce is America's trump card in the bid for victory, but current practices will soon cause considerable reneging. From the Negro's point of view, discrimination has no place in war-time America. He cannot see why, with all industry crying for labor, he is turned away or doled out the most menial tasks with small chance for promotion. A recent survey by the U. S. Em ployment Security showed that out of 282,245 jobs expected to be opened up, for no other Teason than color 144,583 were barred to Negroes. Countless numbers of large corpora tions have not relaxed their employ ment practices regarding Negroes de spite a critical need for labor Ste wart Warner, Buick Aviation En gine Plant, Studebaker Corporation, , Allis-Chalmers are a few of them. . Nor can the Negro understand why 24 national and international la bor unions exclude him from mem bership when he is "willing Ho take his place in the war effort. White workers and ' employers, of course, however, "see rthe ; Negro as taking :gd vantage of the' shortage of labor to force his 'way-1 into higher paid jobs which have previously been the lot of only white 'men. Many unions take 'the -sairie stand, believ ing or contending that the Ne gro is trying to capitalize on the war and force his way into unions from which he has1 previously been exclud ed. Even the' war has not yet brok en down a color line which has ex isted for years. Recently white members of the ": United Automobile Workers, CIO, walked out of the Hudson Ordnance'plant in Detroit whollyengaged in production for the Navy, because eight Negro skilled workers were' prtmoted to machine work. The 'president took action on this situation on "June 25, 1941, when he issued" an'Executive Order reaffirm ing the ""policy of the United States that there shall be no distrimination in the employment of workers in de fense industries of government be cause of race, creed, color, or nation al origin." Negrd"tiewspapers hailed this as a tie Diapsr Apologies to the New Yorker "Symptoms of the bubonic plague : convulsions, temperature as high as 107, eyes inflammed, back and limb pains, appearance similar to drunk enness, tongue coated, thick speech, severe headache, prostration, stag gering." Encyclopedia Britannica. In other words, you just can't tell who's walking around with the plague these days. . RAISED EYEBROW DEPART MENT: "These two University coeds will be the basis of all campus conduct." The Daily Tar Heel. WHICH two University coeds? ARTURO TOSCANINI TO CON DUCT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Headline in Durham Morning 'Herald. Hard to believe, but then anything can happen in times like these. . WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE DEPARTMENT: CPU members have established a means of communication by which they can keep in touch with each other." The, Daily Tar Heel. Pin By Walter Klein "I'il Tbe glad when I'm in the Army. Then I won't have to study this damned Spanish." Student in Spanish 21 class. Well, that's ONE way of looking at it. "Puny Sanford Stein, former UNC columnist, song and play writ er now'in the Army, has been shift ed to train as a Ranger, American counterpart of the Commando." ; Part of the Allied Grand Strategy, no doubt. "I heartily welcome the opening of this beautiful addition to our com munity, especially because the Navy has the assurance from the manager that we may use this auditorium at any time for a lecture hall or to show educational and entertainment films for the cadets." John P. Graff, at. opening of new Carolina Theatre Here we go again! "Women are also permitted to ap ply in this service of the Navy as the -Navy has had very good success with them in the past." The Daily Tar. Heel, from a Navy release. So we've heard. "second Emancipation Proclama tion," but to industry, it was too much to swallow and they disregard ed the -order or circumvented it by employing a token number of Negro skilled laborers or by increasing the number of Negroes employed at low pay jobs. Distrimination in War Industry has come about because of one or an other of three reasons : The prejudices of the employer; The fear of the employer that if he hires Negroes that there will be trouble with his white employees and in his relations with the commun ity; The exclusion of Negroes from unions. No manpower situation can be solved by a Washington bureau. It must be settled by logicaland clear thinking on the part of all concerned . . . This is no longer merely a "Ne rgro question."
