When queried by this writer as to the reasons of his condem nation, Willy E.

At least a small minority of the faculty considers the student an article which sits in a room and listens to a lecture, and pays money into a fund which supports the faculty. Fortunately, there is a majority of the faculty and administration which takes a more sensible view. lHere is what Fred H. Weaver, Dean of Men, thinks about the new constitution: "Since some of ray; remarks on the constitution question have reached print, I will extend the part quoted in Saturday's edi torial as follows: "What I said before the YM-YWCA gathering was: (1) that I recognized in the proposal for a constitution an example of leadership, and that leadership is necessary to self-govern ment; (2) that ! recognized in the proposal an example of posi- Spring answers tive action, and that the crying need today is for positive action.

'But although leadership is necessary, and although this evidence of positive action is encouraging, especially as it con trasts with the debilitating grumbling that is heard at every hand, these are not enough. .The essential requirement of self government is character. Unless enough individuals (and these are the real leaders) develop and exhibit the quality of charac ter, the willingness, that is, regardless of circumstances, to recognize, resist, and prevent any action which is contrary to the ideal we hold for the University, then neither repeated as- Among e fonis sertions as to our great tradition nor a constitution will save us from the widely-lamented (less widely-challenged) confusion.

"Mr. Clung," I questioned, Have you any other opinion you might care to express?" "No!" thundered Willy E. Clung. "And don't you know better than to take my name in vain? The next time you desire to speak to me, bow . in obeisance and address me as Mighty Caesar." - Chagrined by my unthinking blunder, I hung my head sheep ishly, saying, Mighty Caesar, cy." "That's better," Clung re plied. "As a token of my gen Kenton. Reaction to the band was varied mostly favorable . . . That new tune imported from England, the "Gypsy," is a cinch to lead the Hit Parade. Its certain haunting melody makes it a natural successor to "Symphony" . . . Best selling records in town are Spike Jones' "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" and Lionel Hampton's "Chord a-re-bop" . . . Andy Kirk and his band spent an hour in town this week when their bus had a flat on the Pittsboro road. New Releases: Alvino Rey's first sides for Capitol are good especially "Cement Mixer," a rhythm ditty with possibilities. Sinatra's "All Thru the Day" shows his delicate phrasing and is already a hit. The Jerry Co lonna version of "Casey at the Bat" is packed with humor. Gor don Jenkins' band and chorus take "Temptation" and turn out an excellent and beautiful disc. Record of the Week: Of the many recordings of "Gypsy," Dinah Shore's is by far the best. La Shore makes the most of the pleasing melody and the ac companying dance beat makes it a natch for any situation. Rever side, "Laughing on the Outside" is a slow plaintive ballad well done.

Sincerely, , Blackie Black Editor's Note: I hadn't heard that the UP has disowned its black sheep, Blackie, but thanks for the congratulations. The Uninformed Dear Bob and Fellows: Because the Tar Heel was not available last term I missed the news that registration would be in a different manner, until the day before the deadline for regis tration. If the Tar Heel is to be the.in former, it ought to be available. Last week I missed the showing of a foreign moving picture bv the Spanish department because I hadn't heard about it. A student living off the cam pus as I do has a slight oppor tunity to get the word excent by reading it. I have not before reauested that the Daily Tar Heel be mail ed to me I am requesting it now. (Extra charge for mail ing, if you must.) I have seen one copy of th Carolina Mag in the past 13 months. I went to the office for that. No soap ! V Respectfullyt Ronald Ware Editor's Note: This case, along with many more like it, is being turned over to the PU Board, the group which is re sponsible for circulation.
