CONGRATULATIONS, JUNIORS
We were certainly glad to learn that a group of juniors are
launching a movement to reorganize their class. Although they
are acting somewhat unofficially, it is time that students take
unofficial action to reinstate the student government which flour
ished here before the war.
All juniors have been requested to meet in Gerrard Hall ths
afternoon at 4 o'clock. All students who classify themselves
as juniors should be there, and any student who does not know
his academic classification should consult the central records in
South Building.
After the juniors are reorganized, the only remaining unor
ganized class will be the sophomores. Initiative for the reor
ganization of all classes and all of the student activities which
functioned before the war should come from the student legis
lature, the student council; or from the students themselves.
In the case of the present reorganization of the junior class, a
group 'of interested juniors have taken matters in their own
hands. Congratulations to them!
STUDENTS AND IMPERIALISM
Student life in India, China, and Egypt must be quite a dif
ferent -thing from life in Chapel Hill, if we are to believe the
papers. Thousands of students in Alexandria and Cairo have
participated in violent anti-British demonstrations. Eighteen
U. S. soldiers were hurt during anti-British riots in Calcutta
touched off by student demonstrations. In China thousands of
students have demanded the immediate withdrawal of Ameri
can troops from their country.
We have not been entirely insensitive to the problems Of our
fellow-students around the world. We contributed generously

Foreign Writer Views
Duke - Carolina Rivalry
To the Editor: '
As a foreigner I have had ample opportunity to observe the
manifestations of school spirit and rivalry at close range in many
countries. However, seldom have I seen the above-mentioned ri
valry hit such a low as in the e rat ion begin at home and oc-
case of this university and the
one near Durham.
ine language usually em
ployed to give utterance to this
rivalry between Carolina and
Duke is usually not even fit to
be printed on the walls of a
men's lavatory, much less to be
used by those who attend these
universities and aspire to the
epithet of "Southern gentle
men, l snail not even discuss
the childish acts of vandalism
that precede every sport event
between. the two universities. I
have nothing against a healthy
spirit of rivalry between two
teams and their respective sup
porters. On the contrary. But
gently, gently, pray.
I understand that there are
several clubs and organiza
tions on this campus which
seem to take an acute interest
in the world. I understand that
there are long and spirited con
versations and debates being
conducted by these organiza
tions on such a variety of sub
jects as the nomination of Mr.
Pauley, whether or not -the
U. S. should institute a world
police force, or whether the
Russians are out for another
war or just plain nasty and
realistic. But to my knowledge
there is no organization that
has as its motto the old corny
slogan: "Democracy and coop-
cupies itself with, say, better
relations between Carolina and
Duke.
Incidentally I am afraid that
I have touched a rather typical
American attitude: to be all in
a dither about the poor op
pressed Hottentots in Africa, to
shake angry fists at the Dutch
in Java, to cry in one's beer
about the poor economic stand
ard in China, while in the U. S.
improvements . in, for instance,
the economic and educational
standard of the Southern Negro
. t I t T Jl
remain as mucn to oe aesirea,
together with certain assorted
aspects of the racial situation in
Detroit or New York City.
I have a suspicion that if
such a friendly relations so
ciety were to be instituted on
this campus, there would be
considerable opposition of the
student body.
Besides the society's work
won't be half as interesting as
those nice iuicv discussions on
democracy, fascism, reactionar
ies, and what not. And then
again it might actually work
and I may rest my aching body
at night without being disturbed
by catcalls, hoots and the sound
of firecrackers, that remind me
of past events that I do not wish
to be reminded of.

ANTI-PLANETARIUM
Though I hate to be known as a sorehead,
I'm distressed at this present from Morehead.
My worst complaint is that it tampers
With the prettiest part of the campus,
And I feel like raising a squawk
About messing up old Senior Walk.
It's to be architecturally shocking,
False columns the front entrance blocking:
Amid buildings we already deplore,
' Here's another eclectic eyesore;
What with Howell, Alumni, and Hill,
This thing is a right bitter pill.
To UNC's need it's irrelevant,
Like the bell tower, another white elephant;
Why study fake stars from indoors
When there's real ones outside by the scores?
Though a present lack of facilities r
Hampers many department's abilities;
Though a new auditorium's needed;
And a student increase is impeded
Because present spacing can't carry 'em,
Still, we DON'T need a new planetarium.
I appreciate the kindness of Mr. Morehead,
But I wish he would give us the million instead.
Monty Howell.

A familiar figure to all Hil
dwellers is the tall young man
who may be seen at almost any
student meeting in a bow tie,
sport jacket, and lapel button
which reads, "Break Relations
with Fascist Spain". Handsome
and imposing, despite stooped
shoulders and a slightly over
due haircut, "because it takes
too Iong to get one in Chapel
Hill," "he is apt to be presiding
over the meeting, or at least ad
dressing it. In either case, the
situation is probably well in
hand, for his speaking is more
than forceful, and he has a high
disdain for resorting to a gavel
in keeping order. Meanwhile,
even his lapel is working for his
ideals which is partly typical

Good business is not based on the size or color of the sign

resolve to have all signs removed. ' J
CONTRAST ON FRANKLIN STREET
f The appearance of the Franklin Street business section is
definitely not in keeping with the natural beauty of our campus
and town. Visitors coming from Durham get an obnoxious im
pression of Chapel Hill in viewing a street cluttered with signs
of gaudiest colors. True, some of the signs present a better ap
pearance than many of the storefronts. However the money
spent on cost and maintenance of these signs could be used to
better advantage in improving the outside as well as the inside
of the stores. A walk tip Franklin Street confronts the inno-
