Freshmen Take Notice
This is an editorial for the freshmen. Nobody else needs to
read it.
Next Tuesday you freshmen are going to vote on the matter
of pictures in the Yackety-Yack. . And the thing for you to do is
to vote against having individual pictures. There are several
pretty good reasons for such a move
O If you have individual pictures of every member of your
class in the Yackety-Yack, it will cost you $1,297.50, which is a
lot of coin. That means that $1.65 cents from each of you for
your own picture, plus $60 bucks from the class treasury for
pictures of your officers and some snapshots of freshmen lean
ing around here and there on the campus:
If you have group pictures, it will cost you $200 at the
most, which is still plenty of jack, but it's not so bad as it
might be. As a matter of fact, it's only about 20 cents each. And
you will still get the pictures of your officers and the snapshots
of guys and gals leaning round here and there.
O The group pictures are okay. It takes about three of them
to get the whole class. What they do is line you up on the steps
of Manning hall or some other place where they got pretty pil
lars, and then they print all your names underneath the picture
in the annual. You can see your face about as plain as you'll
want to in the group shot, and save yourself a goodly pile be
sides. Those are the three essential reasons why it' looks like you
ought to vote for group pictures. (
But there's another one in the background that you won't
hear so much about. It's about metal copper and zinc. These
two metals are getting scarce; they need them to make guns
and planes and such. But they also need them to make pictures.
Without zinc and copper it is impossible to make the cuts that
are used to print photographs.
So one of us got a letter from the Charlotte Engraving Com
pany the other day. They're the lads that do the work for the
Yackety-Yack. They say they can't guarantee anything. Even
if you do vote to have a lot of group pictures and use a lot of
space and metal, you may not be able to get them because Uncle
Sam will put the snatch on the copper and zinc.
The metal you don't use for the Yackety-Yack pictures, which
aren't really very important after all, can be used to make the
things that soldiers need, or else it can be used to do essential
government printing. -
So there's three sides to the question, and they're all against
individual pictures. In the first place, they cost too much money ;
in the second place, the metal is scarce and needed for vital na
tional war production; and in the third place, there's pretty
good odds you might not be able to get the individual pictures
anyway.
Think it over a bit. Don't brush it off in a hurry, and cast
your vote accordingly.

Probably one of the most unusual
features of this unusual year is the
speed with which class budgets pass

day when the band was called on to
call out the voters and at that it
was a lengthy process.
Rumor-mongers have it that the
IRC has something up its sleeve.
IRC members are dropping gentle
hints about this mysterious some
thing. Speculators seem to believe that
the possibility of not having an an
nual this year are small. Possibilities
range from a possible recognizable
Yackety Yack to none at all. Prob
abilities indicate that Carolina stu
dents will see an annual with less
engraving, fewer pages, and no color
pictures. C'est la guerre !

A DTH Review
November Mag Reviewed;
Even Hamilton Will Like It
By Charles Howe
The November issue of the Caro
lina Magazine will get a good re
ception. Even Harvey Hamilton should like
it.
Meyer .and Carruth, wiser to the
ways of magazine editting than they
were a month ago, have taken the
so-called "combination" and welded
it neatly into a well-coordinated
unit. The scales have been tared be
tween the Serious and the Comic
with the addition of more light ma
terial, and at the same time almost
all tendencies towards "longhairism"
have vanished. Several new authors
are in print for the first time, a wel
come change after the cliques of
past years when the same contribu
tors appeared month after month.
Fiction
The fiction is rather heavy for
general campus consumption, but
there is not too much of it, and what
there is is good. Nancy Smith's
"Conversation" is best. It is the story
of a poor woman who wants to
practice birth control and at the
same time be a good Catholic. She
takes her problem to her Father
Confessor, who is shaken out of his
complacency by realizing the diffi
culty of making his religion and
hard practicality meet. Very well
written, "Conversation" will make
the reader pause to ponder its phili
sophical connotations. "Hack's Mon
ey", by Jack Kurtz, and Ralph Jack
son's "All I Want to Save" are well
written short stories of modern hu
man problems,
Non-Fiction
The non-fiction material is well
diversified and in general interest
ing. Ernie Frankel presents individ
ual analyses and criticisms of South
Building moguls in "Behind Those
Shining Faces." Frankel is right as
far as he goes but tends to be too mild
in his criticism. The article is well
written, well-organized.
Joe Leslie's sketch of the Kappa
Sigs' venerable hous$ boy is warm;
amuzing. "Mr. Mile High," by Mike
Beam, is fairly good, although the
author could well have spent a lit
tle more time building up his effect.
The checkered career of the English
department's Taylor and his views
on Shakespeare are told by Stuart
Kahn in "Pigs vs. Shakespeare."
Humor
The humor is also diversified, to
say the least. Art Golby is really fun
ny in his tale of "Alvin Argentine,
Crazy Boy," a lad who could bound
18 stories high on his latex der-

riere. This is far away and the best
the Mag has to offer in the laugh
provoking line. Bud Kaplan's screw
ballish story of spies in a railroad
car is fairly humorous, while those
who enjoy plain, unadulterated corn
will get a kick out of Ben McKin
non's "A look at New York" and
"Dogs vs. Cat s" (McKinnon
Branch), a satire in which Carolina
coeds and gentlemen are cast as
species of the feline and canine genii.
"Dangerous Dan McFoo", modeled
after the famous McGrew epic with
the setting transplanted from the
Yukon to Harry's Delicatessen, is
an amusing and well-done bit of poe
try by H. C. Cranford. "Extra
Libris" continues to draw laughs,
and all but the most astute seniors
will enjoy Piney Woods Pete's mis
sive to his brother Dallas. David
Hanig's "First Case," extremely
well-written, has a surprise ending
that makes it worth reading.
Henry Moll's spread on the phy
sical fitness program of the naval
cadets is typical of his excellent car
toons, but most of the others are
ragged. Ken Gammage's "Juke Box
Types" are rare, but suffer some
what due to smudgy engraving.
Poetry
The serious poetry is excellent. T.
Weiss' contributions may seem
slightly long-hair to some readers,
but the majority will like them. Dick
Adler and Kai Heiberg-J ergensen
contribute the rest.
Features, Editorial
Swing addicts will find the best
of the recent record crop listed in
"Light Brown and Bue," while war
time fashions are featured in Ma
rion Frink's advice "To the Coeds."
Ann Seeley's book review and choice
quotations clipped from leading
periodicals are other worth-while
features. The Meyer-Carruth edi
torial states nicely the problem fac
ing student government, but nothing
not generally known to the campus
is included and no solution other than
that "we must act with foresight and
surety" is advanced.
Tne make-up shows a big improve
ment over that of the October issue.
Although rather drab and monoto
nous ni spots, It is always well bal
anced and for the most part stimula
ting. Mr. Average Reader will like this
Mag. He will find just about any
thing he wants in it anything from
slapstick humor to good poetry, from
Doris Clark to Soviet artillery, from
Billy Carmichael to Alvin Argentine.
Even Harvey Hamilton should like
it.

Railey, Homespun Politician,
Is One Of The 'Cause' Kids
By Richard Adler
Richard Bruno Railey, homespun lad from Margaretsville, N. C. is, at
20, a self-made man and self-styled politician.
Strictly one of the "cause" kids, Railey has gotten his knowledge of
impoverished social conditions from a rough contact with the people, work
ing with them in the cotton fields, tobacco warehouses, factories, and talk
ing to them in town prattle places. His prime purpose is to do something
specific in bettering living conditions for the Negro, coupled with lower
ing "anti-equality pressure" existent in the South.
This, Railey feels, can best be brought about in Politics.
Railey literally got his first taste of politics when at eight he licked en
velopes for Judge Burgwyn then running for Lt. Governor of the State.
Burgwyn's contact stimulated his interest in history and politics as the
Judge questioned the boy on these topics and young Railey felt himself
obligated to study these subjects from the books he could find.
At nine he developed his first social theory. Cotton picking brought
only 40 cents per 100 pounds and although he knew little of labor categories
and delineations, at the end of the day his tired back told him it was hard
labor. Contrasting this to the pile of shiny nickels shining brought in, he
realized that something was wrong somewhere.
At 12 he worked in a basket mill making baskets by hand.
Only Legal Violation
Every few months the "State Man" (Child Labor Inspector) would visit
the factory to see if there were any laborers under the 14 year old age limit.
Railey would run out of the mill and hide in a cotton patch until the man
had gone away. "It was an immoral thing to do, but I needed the money,"
he said.
In his high school senior year he edited the first school paper. Through
out the four years he never missed a court session.
Comes to Chapel Hill
Three years ago he arrived at the "hill" with three dollars in his pocket.
At once he landed a job at the Bus Station and has been working there 30
hours per week ever since.
His first activity was membership in the Phi. From there, the Debating
Sauad and Council, organizer of Student Civilian Defense, Student Council
(in Summer School), Cheerio Club and Young Democratic Club. For three
years he has been active in Student Party politics. Last year after being
defeated by Steve Peck for the Vice-Presidency of the Student body, he was
awarded the Bingham Medal highest award in debating.
His biggest thrill came when he was selected for membership in the Caro
lina Political Union. His greatest honor, when he was elected Chairman
last spring.
