THE KOCH MEMORIAL THEATER FUND The Koch Memorial Theatre Fund is our cause, and we ought to back up the Chapel Hill committee with sizable contributions. The Fund will build a new and better Playmakers Theatre, and make it possible to coordinate the various phases of playmaking without running all over town. The way we respond will be another significant guage of our cultural development. It will signify to what extent we regard creative art as a valuable contribution to our welfare, to what extent we have broken down the artificial ethical division be tween well-oiled, efficient, machinery, and fine art,' to what ex tent we have outgrown the pseudo-materialism of nineteenth century America. For today we are becoming increasingly aware that a culturally starved or backward people do not make the best citizens or soldiers. Furthermore, the institutions of culture in the machine age cost money, and lots of it. ' As we pointed out in yesterday's news story, our response will be a great stimulus to contributions from New York, Hollywood, and finally, the State Legislature. The rest of the country knows the contributions to the American Theatre made by the Caro lina Playmakers, and are already giving, but they certainly will feel better about giving if the Chapel Hill committee can show that the students and faculty themselves are concerned. Again, concern in the machine age is measured, to some degree at least, in dollars and cents. We think it wouldn't be a bad idea if some student took it upon himself or herself to collect some money from each stu dent in his or her fraternity or dormitory, and presented Dr. J. O. Bailey, of the English Department, with a check from the fraternity or sorority. We think it would be well received, and we know you'll be glad to know that you helped build the Koch Memorial Theatre when you use it in the future. ATOMIC PHYSICS Progress in science has been accompanied by a parallel ad vance in our way of life, our standards of living, our ease in communication, yes, and in our ability to wage destructive war. No one can pretend that all progress in science has been used to benefit man nor can we hope to escape from living with their far-reaching effects. For this reason the Department of Phy sics has decided to offer a course in 20th Century Physics on an elementary basis and to present at this level material which in the past has been taught exclusively to advanced students in Physics. At about the time of the turn of the century a number of developments resulted in drastic changes in the field of Physics. The discovery of X-Rays (1895), natural radioactivity (1896), a theory of the atom good enough to explain the light emitted by atoms (1912), the theory of relativity (1906), the photo electric effect (1902), and other developments too numerous to mention gave rise to a new approach and a new field for Physics to explore. The facts learned since that time constitute the con tent of this course. This is Modern or Atomic Physics. This is, of course, still an active field. The result of work along this line has resulted in the Atomic Bomb, Radar,. and many less spectacular achievements. Much remains to be learned in science. Science is, as Vannevar Bush has said, "an endless frontier." The course (Physics 20), for which no particular requisites will be required, will consist of 5 hours of lecture-recitation plus a 2 hour laboratory period each week. Topics to be covered in the course include X-Rays, Structure of the Atom, the Photo electric Effect, Atomic Waves, Nuclear Disintegration, Cosmic Rays, Nuclear Fission, Radioactivity, the Quantum Theory and the Theory of Relativity. The laboratory will include experi ments on the photoelectric effect, spectra of atoms and molecules, cloud chambers, electroscopes, spectrographs, nuclear disinte gration, counting of cosmic rays, and related topics. Letters To The Editor Navy Paving Offer Denied ByCarmichael Dear Bob: Sometime ago the Tar Heel made a statement, either in news article or an editorial, that the University had turned down an offer of the Navy to construct brick or cement sidewalks on the campus. I am sure that you wil want to correct this very gross error. Since it was my duty to con duct all of the financial-business, and 'construction negotiations with the Navy, I am in a position to state most emphatically that never at any time was there the slightest intimation, offer, or suggestion that the Navy, had the slightest interest in defray ing the cost of paving any cam pus walks. You may be sure that if the Navy had made such an offer our campus walks would be paved today. However, had the Navy borne such a paving cost I am sure that we would have been subject to a Congressional in- yestigation, and even the tax payers of North Carolina not to mention those of the 47 other states would have risen up in arms to prevent the spending of federal moneys on what was a state obligation. We all look forward to the time when the walks will be paved. Sincerely yours, Billy Carmichael -MUSIC MAKERS - Winchell Reported To Be "Off Musically" The Ram Sees (The article to which Mr. Car michael refers was written bv Dick Stern in the issue of Janu ary 26, in which Mr. Stern de clared, "When the Navy's offer to pave the paths of the campus at an estimated cost of $60,000 was refused on the muddy grounds of tradition, we could not but blush for shame." In the issue of February 20 Eddie Al len wrote, "There have been wild and dark rumors circulated, one of the less wild that the Navy offered to pave the walks dur ing its tenure here but was turn ed down." Ed.) Columnist Walter Winchell plopped both feet in his mouth last week when he stated that the Andrews Sisters' Decca record ing of the "Walter Winchell Rhumba" wras the best. Winchell, fusually accurate, was way off musically because the girls haven't even recorded the tune. There are no words to it and none have been written yet so their version would consist of three women humming. Never theless, this melody should be come quite popular one of these days .

Clipped Cogs in the Wheel By Allan P&nnill Tnough the road is paved with foolish things, the pace of the wheel is never slowed. To an innocent bystander it seems that: : Considering the fact that the staff of the Marine V-12 unit here draws its pay twice a month, and on time, the unit itself is getting a raw deal. Their pay comes once a month, and that can be any one of 30 days. Think about it Capt. Mar- chant, and see what you can do for your men! Dick Stern, satirist of last Sunday's issue, has got some pretty good ink in his pen. Makes a guy think, at that. If the student council exer cises their veto power to crush the new ruling, requiring the supreme penalty for vandalism on other campuses, they will be, in effect, admitting their own lax discipline in past cases. It seems time to require you to throw the book at them, gentle men! Midnight musings: If ever you want to get the See COGC, page U By-Lines On the Rise of the Mechanical and Sweaty Class of Women During the War, and the Subsequent Decline of the Same, Thank Goodness: By Bill Lyman Frankly, the woman situation during the "late war caused us the fright of our life. The as cendancy of the lady-machinist over the prom-trotter gave us the jitters. We are greatly re lieved to note that V-J Day has brought with it the return of dresses, stockings, bridge play ing, coke-dabbling, and general indolence on the part of women. The war brought to a head the increasing equality of the sexes that got its impetus with the ad vent of woman suffrage in 1920. A woman was scorned unless she was either sniping Germans or shoveling coal in a defense plant. The prom-trotting, lady like coed seemed shrouded in lavendar, old lace; and pink tea when compared to her more mas culine, sweaty sister. The cling-ing-vine type female was eclipsed, and she was replaced triumphantly by a hardy, beast- class of girl. Five girls' schools in this state alone planned, in detail, dntc changes in their respective curriculums. In these schools only mechanical and agricultural courses were to be taught, and any hints at culture were to be ridiculed as both un patriotic and namby-pamby. We happen to know that V-J Day barely saved these plans from being put into operation. The meteoric rise of feminine brawn during the war present ed quite a problem to the male collegian. Theretofore he had benefitted by the learning of his successive predecessors in the art of wooing based entirely on the frilly, dance-floor-queen type female. He had to start from scratch with an entirely new plan of tactics. No longer could he whisper sweet nothings to his date, nor shoot a line of collegiate lingo. Rather, he must flex his muscles, or plow a fast row of corn, or do a quick weld mg job on a couple of metal plates. No longer was he able to send his beloved a dozen roses for Valentine, but rather a spare tools kit. Before the war the labor union had remained one of the few remaining male strongholds. This all changed. Back in '43, just before we entered the serv ice,' we attended a dance of the Female Trucksters and Hod Car riers Union, Local No. 62. The result was so terrifying that we have been a bit shaky ever since. It is a great pleasure to see the re-emergence of the prom- trotter. Well take the attrac tive, worthless girl any day in preference to , the vigorous, worthwhile female (ugh!). above-mentioned cases.) Second fiddle, Frankie: Ike Isenhour is bestowing special merit badges upon all her Girl Scout lassies whose autograph books contain the most coveted of all possessions, the signa-, tures of basketball HEROES John Dillon and Jim Jordan. Chapel Hill bobby soxers are swooning at their feet. Barren Ground: The Phi Delt house breeds masked males, Boris Karloff effect. Ask Cod rington, Hendren, and Carmich ael who were frightened away in 'quick order by a false face monstrosity. Are the good. Phi Delts striving to keep their premises "barren ground" for coe,ds? (Bob Thurston has suc ceeded Jack Davies as president there at the Bowery Ball house.) Double-duty Brinkley: Walt Brinkley is the vertex in a tri angle that may be right and may be wrong. 10:58 finds him sprint ing from Kenan, Ann Fan's dorm, to Ruffin Hall, his own abode. 11:00 finds him answer ing operator 56: "Washington calling." Rameses . wonders: "Does the name Woodhouse make the triangle more speci fic?" Roughly Speaking: Marty Taylor is sporting an adhesive patch over her left eye. One story has it that a horse kicked her, another that little sister threw a shoe. If you wTant the truth, ask that certain Sigma Nu. Aldermaning: Janet Jolly seems to be the only third floor Alderman girl who is still loyal to the PiKA's or is it vice-versa? Boots Allsopp claims she sold "Snafu," Alderman's favor ite cocker spaniel, for profit. No one believes her, but the ques tion is, where, oh where, has our little dog gone? v Leatherneck Stars: Glee Club rehearsals pep up immediately whenever Director Young re minds his songsters that they will be singing "Darling, You're Set RAM, paff0 1
