FRATERNITIES IN STUDENT POLITICS The erroneous impression that Carolina student politics are divided solely along fraternity and non-fraternity lines is pre valent among many students. The belief that there is one party existing only for the benefit of the fraternities on the campus is false. Tt is true that a maioritv of the fraternities Hn hp- long to the one party. A comparison of the candidates presented ers. And here was a magazine to the PAmmw Hnrino- tfco nnst spvptoI mnnthc mw hmxmor. f En entirely different nature. w xx. ,x u xi " Here the emphasis lay almost en Writer Asks 'Mag ' Appeal For Campus By Howard Merry Through publicity in the Daily Tar Heel, students were primed to expect an interesting issue of this month's Carolina Mag. But the campus in general . was greatly disappointed when the delayed publication arrived. Criticism was aimed at poetry, at short stories, at jokes : in fact, at almost everything. But what many failed to realize was that the Mag's trouble is fundamen tal Five years ago this campus enjoyed two magazines. One, our same Carolina Mag, was a literary outlet for students who wrote poetry and attempted creative writing of a serious vein. This was the Mag's pur pose ; it had no' other. A second periodical was the Tar 'n' Fea Tar Heel Office SNAFU By Bill Lyman On the Amusing Aspects of the Varied Styles of Newspaper Writers, and What Can Happen When the Situation Becomes Fouled Up: The best of newspapers will j fine. We mean we're the first . parties, as well as the independents, have been members of f ra ternities. The reason for this predominance of fraternity men in poli tics is the fact that they are members of organizations which are willing to back their individual interests. The fraternities back their members by bringing whatever qualities of leader ship they may have to light and by supporting them with their votes when the time comes.- Because of their lack of organization the non-fraternity men are apt to be overlooked by any nominating group. The answer to this problem is not the organization of a political party de voted to the advancement of non-fraternity men. This would bring about the condition which was decried in yesterday's edi torial. The solution is in the entrance of the non-fraternity men into the present organizations. Neither the United Carolina Party nor the University Party is an exclusive organization. The UP is now composed of mainly fraternities, but it is a healthy sign that there are at least two dormitories which send representatives to its party meetings and the door is still open for the entrance of any and all dormi tory representatives to the UP. The United Carolina Party is composed of individuals. As such it is very easy for non-fraternity men to be represented in it. Yet the majority of the candidates of this party seem to be from fraternities. Let us hope that by the time the spring elections arrive the non-fraternity men will find themselves well represented in both of the present parties. J. C. L. ANTI-CONSCRIPTION VS. PACIFISM We wish to clarify one aspect of the Daily Tar Heel's opposi- tirely upon humor, whether it be stories, poetry or what not. Then Tar 'n' Feathers dissap peared. The Mag, the Tar Heel and the Yackety-Yack rolled along, but Tar 'n' Feathers was left by the way side. f The present Carolina Mag has istrived to capture both the seriousness of its former self and the humor of its former con temporaryand the attempt has been unsuccessful. Now sponsoring the Daily Tar Heel financially, the Publi cations Union probably is un able to launch a successor to the Tar 'n' Feathers' or its ill-fated predecessor, the Buccaneer. If finances were available this move would probably have already been made. But as it stands now there is but one solution to the problem of a campus periodical. The stu dents maintain the Mag through fees paid to the PU Board at See WRITER, page 4. get iouiea up every now .ana then, and it happened to the Dailv Tar Heel one dav several weeks ago.

FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1946 Just Another Opinion Columnist Relates Tale Of Rivalry By Roy Thompson The traditional rivalry be tween Duke and Carolina is good for many people. It is a sportwriter's dream. It is a foot ball coach's success. It is a star quarterback's bid for a weekend glory that can, with proper care, be made to last a lifetime. It is a lootbali fan s thrill of know ing that although one of the teams has been lousy all year, there are no such things as re cords when the Tar Heels and Devils mix things up. In recent years, however, the rivalry has often resulted in dis graceful damage to property. ' On the night before the last big game between Money and Cultuh, Chapel Hill students paraded the streets and campus in search of Duke students with paint in their hands and malice in their hearts. Barricades were thrown across streets ; cars were stopped and searched for paint. One driver didn't stop. He didn't know what was going on. A Carolina gentleman in the crowd threw a bucket of paint at the car. It hit the hood, bounced through the windshield and soaked the occupants of the car. Nobody, strangely enough, was hurt, Last week a bill for damages amounting to over six hundred dollars was received. planetarium. But after all, what else IS Democracy? Think it over.

We also be Iieve that we must withhold from any nation whose foreign policy is aggressive or who is a potential threat to the peace of the world (and therefore, ipso facto a threat to the United States) any materials they need to build a war machine. That applies especially to Spain, Argentina, and, of course, Germany and Japan. The best way, we feel, to prepare for the defense of the United States today is to prepare the United States for peace.

Also, that means the elimination of poverty that brings forth unhealthy people and therefore poor soldiers. That also means the elimination of social barriers in the United States, especially those of race, color, and religion to the end that we are a united people. Above all, it means alert citi zenry, demanding that these things be put into practice. D. K. THREE FEET DISTANT. So that's the goal for which you're striving, boys?

We've got to pay the bill. 1 It will come to about fourteen cents for each student. The money can be raised in one day. Charlie Vance, our stu dent body president, should take the initative. A collection box in the Y and another in Lenoir Hall would help. Fraternities and sororities should appoint one of their members to solicit funds from each individual group. Each floor of each dorm should have a collector. Some of us, of course, will have to nav more than our share. Pennle who throw buckets throncrh automobile windows don't con tribute to causes.
