FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1942 PAGE TWO THE DAILY" TAR HEEL Plus and Minus Psychologists have yet to explain why the individual is infin itely more attracted to the negative than the positive. Give the Carolina student something big and he wants leisurely to take a few days looking it in the mouth before passing any judgment or proffering any enthusiasm. Take away from him any one of a multitude minutiae and he hollers as if someone had stolen the last crust of bread from his mouth. Some students are still raising hell because the coeds must turn in one hour sooner. Common sense dictates that they should be in by 12. Some students are beginning to see Raleigh red because Rameses has been stolen by State students. Our neighbors can -get our ram, never our goat unless we add pres tige to the larceny by playing adolescents and rushing over to cause serious trouble in Raleigh. Tonight the Intramural Department stages its first Sports Carnival for a student body that for lack of transportation and money to waste would otherwise be in for a dull Friday night. If as many students would wander down to Woollen gym as have contemplated a foray to Raleigh and would spend on having a good' time the adrenalin they have wasted griping about the coed hours, the Sports Carnival could become a regular event and godsend for a dull winter quarter. Passing Shadow illlinillllNllilllllllllllllllllllllllllillllHIIIIIlIIIIIlIIHliillL Di and Phi Piddling Away Time, Money, Electricity By Paul Komisaruk The Di and the Phi have scraped bottom. It is almost incredible to real ize to what piddling these organi zations have descended. And what is more incredible is that these im potent groups that waste electricity and time in their venerable halls were once the most important func tioning bodies on the campus. It wasn't so long ago that every student who entered Carolina was required to join either the Di or the Phi within one month of reach ing the Hill. But what a change the times have wroughtl My objections are not to the time these groups are wasting. The time is their own, though most anyone knows it could be spent to more advantage. But we'll come to that later. At the present though this is what these groups are doing: They are wasting electricity at their weekly meetings. They are wasting money print ing circulars advertising their ri diculous meetings. They are wasting valuable Tar Heel space on further broad casting their nebulous activities, and that space is badly needed. They are probably exciting themselves no end, and this leaves them in poor shape for other ac tivities that we humans engage in. Now let's look what they've done. But first remember this. Not only is the University breaking up be fore their befogged eyes, but the whole educational structure of the nation is y threatening to crumble, there is chaos, uncertainty, and doubting everywhere as to just how long educational institutions will continue to function in view of re cent declarations of the War De partment. These groups are made up of os tensibly intelligent members of the campus. Yet with the above factors in mind, they have discussed: The reduction of coed hours which issue has provided Carolina with its biggest laughs of the year. The abolition of student auto mobiles, when for all practical pur Views expressed by the columnists in this newspaper are not necessarily those of the editors who restrict editorial opinion to the staff editorials.

The question of open or closed dances, which they termed "one of the most important issues facing the campus.' Enough said. If the University is functioning as a Uni versity by the time Finals roll around, a number of individuals will be both delighted and surprised. The question of lengthening, the Christmas vacation. The Di in sisted on petitioning the administra tion on this subject after they were told that that is what would prob ably happen anyway, and that it would be useless for students to do anything about it, because it was a purely . administrative matter, be yond the scope of the student body. These, groups continue to function on funds granted by other student organizations, in addition to mem bership fees and dues. This money " is wasted. But it needn't be wasted. There is a fertile fertile field of uncer tainty that has never been explored. And if these organizations are go ing to continue to dilly-dally with time and money, the results ought to be at least half-way constructive. What they might do is try to learn and investigate the tremen dous movements under-foot, that may turn the University and other educational institutions into some thing unrecognizable. And having learned themselves, they might spend their time in trying to pre pare the rest of the student body for the changes that are coming. Something will be needed to cush ion the shock and the realization that academic institutions have breathed their last for the duration. This cushioning job is one that must be done, and proper cushion ing will require all the resourceful ness of all the student groups. A start can be made by analyzing the movements under foot and explain ing their implications to the many who are entirely unaware of them. This piddling that they're doing in the meantime is ridiculous. Kav Heel National Advertising Service, Inc. College Publishers Representative 420 Madison Ave.. new York. N. Y.

Harry grooved "I Had the Crazi est Dream" into Columbia wax via a Helen Forrest vocal. The reverse features Johnny MacAfee on "A Poem Set to Music." Munroe final ly came up with something good in "Crossroads." Done in beguine tempo with heavy instrumental background, it is a fine tune for his vocal.

IN DUBIOUS BATTLE By Jack Dube Sneak Preview : Sports men and women throughout our fair nation are overjoyed. Chapel Hill is in troducing an innovation known as The Kampus Karnival which will unquestionably and irrefutably take the place of the late Olympic , Games. Your own key-hole kid has managed to see some of the greats of the sporting world and one and all have promised to attend. Some of the more famous performances will be a Badminton Exhibition between Don Budge and Mary Lou Truslow (she knows all about rackets), a diving exhibition with Bob Hoke and Marjorie Gestring (he . knows all the dives), and a swimming ex hibition with Johnny Weismuller and Ann Tomsuden (those limpid pools) ... But variety will be the spice of the program. We can expect a jit terbug contest starring Fred As taire and "Jackie" Campen, Eleanor Powell and George "Sheriff" Smith. . . . Boxing events will present a feature match between Max Baer and Curry Jones (those two clowns) and as an added attraction an over the weight bout between Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom and Punchy Wunchy Libbie Izen. ... The games will end with the most spectacular relay ever presented. It will be held between the Ire and the CPU. starring all international en trants. For the Ire, we have Mah moud Hassan Bey, Gaston Henri Haye, Ambassador Hu Shih, and Don Francisco Castillo Nejara, Sir Girja Shankar Bajpai, and running anchor will be (India?). For the CPU., the favored starters will be Cordell Hull, Leon Henderson, Wen dell Willkie, and running anchor 'will be Mary "Boo" Francis now working in Washington. . . .

CPU Round Table KiiiniiniiiiiiiiHiiiniiiHniiniinnniiiiiiiiniiiniiiiiiiiiiinHii1 Armed Services Reluct To Treat Negro Justly by Bob Epple , The fact of American democracy was seriously questioned when M. P. Tom Driberg arose in the House of Commons to request "That friendly representations be made to the Amer ican military authorities instructing them that the color bar is not a cus tom of this country!'. This was brought about by such incidents as that of four Czech soldiers fist-fighting a group of American soldiers. They were championing the rights of minority groups. At the end of the present year, there will be only 40 Negro pilots in the Army Air Forces. The total sum of colored troops in the Army is a mere 150,000. This is far below their proportion in the population of the nation. The Negro is segregated in to mainly supply services and labor battalions. Only one division of Negro troops has all Negro officers, al though another is being planned at this time. "Don't wait, choose your service. Choose your job. Get in the Navy now." But this does not apply to Negroes, who cannot get into Naval reserves and can only enlist for gen eral service as Apprentice Seaman. Since the executive order of the Pres ident, certain few services have been opened to Negroes. The Marines have been very re luctant to allow Negro enlistments. However, a Negro training school for the Marines was opened at New Bern staffed mostly by White of ficers. There are some who believe that the Army should not segregate the Negro in mess or eating quarters. Others, however, fight for propor tional Negro representation in the armed services with an opportunity for advancement. It has been pro posed that there be set up certain vol untary groups where Negroes and Whites would recognize no segrega tion. However, to date, no effective sources have proposed any involun tary mixing of the races. . Senator Bankhead recently ap proached General Marshall with the suggestion that Northern Negroes be trained in Northern camps. Gener al Marshall refused to recognize the innumerable incidents coming from the present system when he refused to follow such suggestions. In one case, a group of Negro soldiers un armed because they were in a labor battalion were driven off the high way with blows and curses by state police at Camp Robinson. A white officer who protested against the treatment of the men under his com mand was slapped in the face by the troopers as a "nigger-lover". No sensible American can or will advocate abolishment or segregation DO YOU DIG IT? WHAT DO YOU SAY ? Send us some of your hot slang. Ifweuseit,youget $10. If we don't, you get a rejection slip.

But, so long as the Negro constitutes one tenth of the population of the nation, he should be granted the right to fight where his skill allows. In sults to Negroes in the uniform of the United States have caused resent ment throughout the Negro popula tion. This fact has been recognized by Axis propagandists in broadcasts to this nation. It's time our armed forces threw away their tradition-hangovers.
