'Take Care' in Top Bracket
TAKE A WALK, SIR
We are having some beautiful weather these days, and we
are expecting more. We hope you good folks of Chapel Hill are
taking advantage of it.
The season is coming for some real picnics and hikes. It's
just warm enough so that overcoats and heavy clothing is un
necessary, and just brisk enough to give the zip that can carry
you for miles. It won't last too long, either. In another month
every twitch may bring forth a bucket of perspiration.
A good walk in this weather is just what the doctor orders.
The conditions are ideal here. In a few minutes you are out on
the open road in the picturesque countryside. There are places
aplenty to go, down the Raleigh Road, up to the University Lake,
etc. Stretch out those legs. Loosen up those dormant muscles.
Give your lungs a chance to operate at more than the usual ten
per cent capacity. The blood starts to circulate again, and lo
and behold! you'll be twice as efficient in everything you do
when you get back to town.
Picnics are easy to organize. You can get up a picnic lunch
in a half hour for a dozen people at a per capita cost much lower
than any dinner in Chapel Hill. Get a couple of loaves of bread,
a head of lettuce, some cold cuts and cheese, some fresh fruit
and a couple of quarts of milk and a few paper cups. Throw
it in a bag, and make up the sandwiches wherever you stop to
eat. The more ambitious can bring franks and hamburgers to
cook. ;
A word of caution: Don't let the fires get out of hand, and
clean up after you leave. There is nothing so unnecessary as a
forest fire; nothing so repellant as garbage on the landscape.
BE SMART: SEE ORANGE COUNTY FIRST!
SYMPHONIC PROGRAM
A. B. Smith's four point platform is to be acclaimed as a dis
tinguished overture to his reign as the Phi's speaker. One of his
points is to be especially endorsed, namely, the encouragement
and promotion of a symphonic program for the university.
With the recent gift of a Planetarium and art gallery, coupled
with the Koch Memorial, this school is gradually becoming an
art center of the first magnitude. However, in one department
we are notoriously lacking; that is in the presence of a clas
sical music program featuring the leading artists and orches
tras of the nation. Our sister and rival schools have had, and
do have such programs as the. recent performances by the na
tion's second leading orchestra at their local auditoriums.
Mr. Smith's recommendationspoint the way toward the eras
ing of this deficiency. More power to him and it.

SOME PENDING CLASHES
As usual this time of year, the campus political brew is boil
ing to the point of evaporation, Jimmy Wallace's challenge of
the validity of Stockton's election, although admittedly made on
the spur of the moment, has become a source of confusion.
After several vears of dormancv. tho clause in the legisla
ture's constitution, giving veto power to the council, has been
reconsidered to use against the rule requiring the supreme pen
alty for vandalism on other campuses.
After a little prodding by the Daily Tar Heel, Hunt's com
mittee to draft a student constitution is again at work, and
hopes to make the April deadline. The coed politicos seem a
little worried jOver the constitution's proposal to reorganize
their governmental system, but it seems to us that every group
should be willing to sacrifice the status quo for more student
government coordination.
The best-selling records in
town last week were Freddie
Martin's "Rachmaninoff Concer
to" and Betty Hutton's "Doctor,
Lawyer, Indian Chief."
New Releases: George Gersh
win, always appreciated, gets
magnificent treatment from Ed
die Condon's Jazz Band in the
new Decca four-record album,
"Gershwin Concert." Not only
are such old favorites as "Lady
Be Good," "Swanee," and "Man
I Love" included but several of
the composer's lesser known but
fine pieces are present. Lee
Wiley, reputedly Gershwin's fa
vorite vocalist, sings well and
the musicians are in top form.
Jazz ordinarily does not lend
itself well to strong melody but
here neither the quality of the
jazz nor the beauty of the tunes
are sacrificed.. It'was difficult but
Condon and Company have done
it. "
In another new album, Victor
Borge, Swedish humorist and
pianist, does eight sides, four of
which feature his rich and biting
satire. "Phonetic Pronunciation"
has clicked solidly for Borge on
the air and in theaters through
out the country and brings many
laffs on wax. His combination of
Schubert's "Serenade" and
Strauss' "Blue Danube" results
in a melodic "Blue Serenade." On
the serious side, Borge plays
with the help of Paul Baron's
orchestra such favorites as "All
the Things You Are," Brahms'
"Lullaby," and Craig's "Rhap-
By Brad McCuen
sody." In excellent taste, these
sides are performed with Borge's
technically perfect keyboard
manner.
Bobby Sherwood's "Cotton
Tail" and "Snap Your Fingers'
are both well worth mention
"Tail," a Duke Ellington tune, is
fast beat rhythm and has good
instrumental solos for those who
appreciate them. "Fingers" fea
tures Bobby's singing and
trumpet which should please the
majority of those who give it a
listen.
In a quieter mood, Emil Cole
man and his Waldorf-Astoria or
chestra play "The Parrot" and
"Say It Over Again." The band
is a combination of the Eddie
Duchin and Xavier Cugat styles
with the accent on the South
American tempos. The appeal
for Chapel Hill may be limited
but this band really brings the
wealthy wheels into the W-A in
NY. - .
.Record "of the Week: The sort
of music that is perfect for danc
ing in the dark with "your
"prima" girl is Tommy Tucker's
"Take Care." The melody is good
but it is the way that Tucker
plays this one that lifts it into
the top brackets. With a pre
dominant bass and a melodic
reed background, Tucker's guitar
creates a June-moon mood in the
middle of February. Don Brown
and a fcrocal trio take care of the
vocal on "Take Care" and also on
the reverside, "When the One
You Love." (Columbia.)

The Case Anti-Strike Bill
By Dewey Dorset t
One of the greatest achievements of the liberal age was the
evolution of the Rule of Law. This means that both individuals
and governments are bound in their actions by a set of rules which
are known by all rules which make it possible to predict in ad
vance what actions men may or may not take and to make one's
own plans accordingly. We call these rules formal rules and they
are not intended to discriminate against any group or class of

Shaggy Doggerel Dept.: What
with St. Valentine's day having
come and gone rather quickly
and effortlessly, we think it only
fair to comment upon this year's
trend1 in greeting cards and other
goodies to come our way. If you
got a red box (heart shaped), a
quick guess would be that it had
its origin m Danziger s. We
bought one for ourselves but so
far we haven't been able to fig
ure out the inscription. It seems
as though one of the exchange
students crept in to do the let
tering. We did get a card, pin-up
girl and all the fixings, which
read :
"I tingle in my brain and spine,
Will you be my Valentine?"
This gives us an idea for other
holidays, 'such as:
"I vibrate in each arm and leg,
Will you be my Easter Egg?"
Or perhaps:
"My metabolism is quite jerky,
Will. you be my Christmas tur
key?" Bolderdash & Folderol: Our
man of the air is still concentrat
ing his efforts toward the dry
run annihilation of I. G. Farben
Hill. Isn't there a loose machine-
gunner in the crowd who doesn't
have an eleven o'clock class and
would like to do a Good Thing?
The plane has been definitely

upon Dan, the birdless bird dog,

limit law is an example. Any
one who exceeds the prescribed
limit is subject to penalty. The
contract laws are another ex
ample. If A breaks his contract
with B he is subject to suit
whether he is the President of
General Motors or the janitor in
South Building. Thus by the
Rule of Law individuals may
play the game according to the
rules, and know that they are
free from discrimination be
cause of their race, religion, or
income bracket.
Yet, in the last few years
Americans have witnessed
wholesale violations of the spirit
and law of this Rule of Law.
Take, for example, the case of
labor unions. Time and again
they have broken their contracts
witji management and gotten
away with it. Time after time
they have destroyed property in
their strikes and gotten away
with it. The Case Anti-Strike
bill, introduced by Representa
tive Case of South Dakota and
passed by the House of "Repre
sentatives, seeks equality in the
treatment of unions and indus
try. In doing this it makes the
labor unions financially respon
sible for their actions and liable
to being sued, a responsibility
which has been missing from
the labor picture so far. In the
words of Rep. Homer A. Ramey
of Ohio, "If a company violates
a contract, that company could
be sued. The same applies to
unions. This is the kind of equali
ty and justice upon which the
firm foundation of our indepen
dence has been erected. . . What
the Case bill provides in that
we shall, if it becomes a law,
throw our labor disputes, just as
we do with all other deadlock
business disputes, into the
courts."
The main provisions of the
bill would : create a Federal me
diation board with the power to
intervene in a labor dispute and
enforce a 30 day cooling off
period; use injunctions to en
force the cooling off period and
prevent violence or interference
with movement of perishable
goods; authorize civil suit
against either side in cases in
volving contract violation; curb
jurisdictional disputes by out
lawing boycott; ban violent pick
eting. Should meditation or vol
untary arbitration fail, the uni
ons would be free to strike, pro
vided the 30 day cooling off
period had expired. Both strik
ers and employers could be pun
ished for preventing, by force
or threats of force, any worker
from quitting or continuing in
his job.

Grog In The Eel
By Banal Painal
-4
O'er miles and minutes the
grog flows, and the eel in tender
passion finally unfolds.
To an innocent flyswatter it
seems that: -
Although rumors have circu
lated to the effect that the paths
at Chapel Hill bring mud, dis
ease and business to the laundry
let us remember that we put up
a great fight against Duke last
November, even with their
paths. Need we say more?
Everyone should take a few
hours out to consider the elec
tion of the May Day officials. To
save you all . the trouble of
bothering your little skulls about
it, this mass observer suggests
the name of the most likable
and efficient candidate, a young
light by the rame of, uh, oh yes,
Painal. Get out there you
wonderful people, and throw
your weight behind him. He's
two to one in the jstated opin
ions on this page. (O. K. Mister,
try and get me on that one.)
Scuttlebutt has it that inef
ficient, incompetent and no-good
Speaker Bunt of the legislature
is going to resign due to a ner
vous breakdown. Three cheers
and hurrah. This is one character
that would be expendable if he
were the last man on earth. As
it happens there is a very effi
cient, competent and good
Speaker Pro tern ready to jump
in and fill the gap (fellow by the
name of Gainal or Painal or
something like that).
At the request of several stu
dents I am rapturous in being
able to print the following: Rob
ert Morrison is NOT the new
dean of the Harvard Law
School. The boys over there
seem to become a little irked
even at the suggestion of such
a thing!
Midnight meanderings:
The Delta Trys threw a ter
rific shindig Friday night. Con
grats women, only next time
supply a few more chairs. Even
you have to sit down occasion
ally. v Those Bie Bhy gold arrows
are really lovely, girls, but there
are times and places for every
thing. Ouch!
Hear that the greatest argu
ment for mercy killing, Dim So
lace has passed his law exams,
and will be with us next term.'
Sorry campus, but life is bitter
all over.
Wonder what the doDe is
the alleged tamperers-with-the-
honor-of-Carolina-ladies is. Mal
adjustment breeds strange bed
fellows. Carolina gentlemen, pre
pare to arm yourselves. The
cause is here, our path is clear.
And so, to those who have in
sinuated that this column tis the
least biased, prejudiced or car
minative we reply that our life
is but an eel moving slowly over
seas of grog wherein one day the .
answer shall be found.
