FRED JACOBSON Night Editor Assistant Editor WEED "OUT THE CULLS Speaking with a maxim of economics, the supply of stu dents exceeds the demand. Today there are more .students who want to come to Carolina than there are housing facilities. The University must not sacrifice this opportunity to receive men and women who are conscientiously seeking preparation for a useful career. The University now has its pick of a wide range of students never has the supply been so great. Students who are now here are in a more precarious position than they realize and justly so. To allow students; to flunk a series of courses while there are "A" students begging for ad mission is criminal. It is even more criminal to allow students to remain -here who do not realize the privilege they are enjoying. The honor councils can now clamp down and weed out the culls who do not make good citizens here; the board of readmissions will do the same.. R. M. THE DORMITORY PROBLEM TODAY The Duties of a Counselor The duties of the counselor need not be tabulated. If the proper student is chosen as counselor, he will assume all duties which would be expected of him. The counselor must be a per son who can meet an emergency at any time, and deal properly with his students to build a satisfactory dormitory life. . There are four of more general aspects of the job of the counselor. ... ' 1) The counselor must be a friend. He must make new stu dents feel at home; he must create the proper social atmos phere in the dormitory. He must treat his students with a friendliness and respect which will make them better able to adjust themselves to the life of the University. By H. H. Messick That the tragedy of war does not end with the shooting was well illustrated by Kenneth Jones, of Virginia, who paused here briefly to visit his fiancee, Miss Ann Clark, while enroute from Japan to his home near Richmond. Jones, who landed in the States on February 25, told how, after the troopship had been at sea for more than a week, a rather disagreeable odor became more and more insistent in the crowded sleeping quarters below decks. This led finally to an in vestigation, and the body of G.I. was discovered. He had been dead for three days, and gone unnoticed in the dimly lit compartment. Notes found around his bed, and in his pock ets, indicated the soldier had taken poison rather than return home without the Japanese girl he had come to love. "I can't live without her," ex plained one of the notes. A grim note of comedy was introduced by the presence of negro troops m tne compart ment. When they became aware that for three days they had been sleeping with a corpse, neither appeals to their reason nor threats of court martial could induce them to sleep in that compartment again. Thereafter they slept on deck in near-freezing weather. This . discovery led to closer inspection, and thus averted another tragedy. A man was found who, due to chronic sea sickness, had gone nine days without food or drink. Needless to say he was almost dead too. But Jones had many memor ies far more pleasant, not the least of which was the charcoal burning truck that he and, his buddies "borrowed" upon land ing in Japan. It would only go twenty miles an hour, and one man was Kept busy tossing m the charcoal. In addition it " t, 1-J- TT indue: ct neiiu ix. x aunt: i. xiuw- ever, m tne course ot events, they were forced to reluctantly return the contraption to its proud owner. The Americans established a weeping Japanese girls 4whOj wanted, and expected to De ta&en along. But Jones is optimistic about the overall picture in Japan. He thinks that most of the Japs knew that the war was lost, and regarded the Americans as liberators. He also said that while most of the Japanese peo ple still regard the emperor as a god, some change is already apparent. Jones, whose education at The title "Sound and Fun' is William and Mary College, was Appropriate to that show, it's interrupted by the war, hopes to come to the University of North Carolina to complete it as soon as crowded condition here per mit. He added that his personal true, IV s closer to those Shakespeare titles Than ever its creators knew.

He must supplement the work of the deans andad- visers, and guide the students m their study. The counselor must not be expected to be a tutor, but he must certainly stand ready to give sound advice and help with special study prob lems. - 3) The counselor must bind the dormitory together and create dormitory spirit. He must insure adequate self-government in the dormitory, and he must bring about dormitory con sciousness. He should call frequent dormitory meetings, and discuss with the students their mutual problems. 4) The counselor must be a disciplinarian, but he must de pend heavily upon the dormitory self-government which he must help to create. STUDENTS AND THE TOWN Students alert to University problems may well invest some time observing the Chapel Hill government, located in Town Hall, opposite the bus station. Many problems tackled here di rectly affect the students. v - Last Tuesday's meeting of the Zoning Committee of the Board Of Aldermen was a good case in point. The zoning laws determine what kind of buildings can be built where. With a critical housing shortage and an expanding, university, zoning laws will have to change. Some townsfolk, anxious to protect the suburban atmosphere of their streets, will naturally resist the building of apartment houses on their block. ' Last Tuesday there was an appeal before the Zoning Com mittee to permit the -construction of an apartment house in a - portion of town known as "Zone A." These apartments are to be rented to student veterans, but no apartment houses may be constructed in an "A" zone. About thirty veterans attended the hearings, and are now going to secure the required signatures on a petition to permit the construction of the apartments. On March 29, at 7:30 P. M. the petition will be presented at a public hearing in Town Hall. Anyone interested; in housing (and who is not?) may attend, and have his say, if he wishes. Why not come down and see our town government in ac tion? D.K v an nour, and tnereaiter were kept busy explaining to ob sequious sons of Nippon that the speed limit did not mean that you had to go that fast. The Japs jwere apologizing that their ve hicles would not make thirty five miles an hour. The Japanese could not ac custom themselves to certain other playful G.I. activity either. The subways were always crowded, explained Jones, and if the Yanks could not find suf ficient room they would simply make some by tossing explain tnat tne material was meant to be deleted but that he would like to give his basis for making the statement in the first place. This attempt at clarifica tion was met with jeers and cat calls and the meeting was abruptly adjourned. Here is the original statement and our basis for making the statement: " . . the labor unions, the Communist Party, and their cousin, the Sou thern Conference for Human Welfare."

The Communist influence was evident in the issue of "literature" pub- ishedby the Communist Party. The SCHW apparently supports all union activities. They are even opposed to the bill aimed at striking down the Musician's Union's Dictator Petrillo. The published aims of the Communist Party in America is class strife as opposed to class peace, industrial strife instead of industrial peace. The SCHW is fully supporting the industrial strife sweeping the country to day.

The Yanks also had the charm ing habit of improving the ven tilating 'system of the subways by throwing beer bottles in cidentally Kenneth liked the Jap beer very much through the windows. The Japs resented the fresh air. Girls were cheap and plenti ful, and the average Jap did not mind as long as the Yanks con fined themselves to the. girls they found in the places of entertain ment. But when the G.I.'s, al ways on the lookout for better things, began telling the non professional girl that he would take her home with him, if the Japs didn't approve of that, and several Yanks got knife cuts as a result. The "line" worked well, however, , for when the train departed for the coast and home, the stations were full of Diatripe: Glad you enjoyed the Sound and Fury show and now you can resume splitting your sides at something else in the Tarheel other than Little Abner.
