Many alunini have made names for themselves and the University: Unfortunately most of the doing : that has been done has been on the part of the individual .Most have re ceived Httie hicentive to do better. In case they did, aU well and good, and in case they didn't it didn't seem to make a whole lot of difference. How we have been able to keep so many prominent rankers in our midst at Carolina is a mystery. . Many cases of faculty members moving out from the University to seek advancement have been noted. It is a definite fact that we can't expect to retain all of the best men because then the Uni versity would not be contributing its part as a center of educa tional advancement. It is natural for the advancement take place What we are arguing- about though is this . . . that too many times THE BEST have been casually overlooked . . . attempts have been made to keep them in their place (not giving them a chance to do better.) 'It is true that tlie University officials did not totally overlook the possibility of retaining Coach Ben Carnevale as head basketball coach The situation was sort of tough for the boys who have to make the final decrees, because there is always the fear of stepping xt Ann.4. cuxrrmi-ai TMPTi now on the athletic staff would like the J.-U UUUUb otwav. v - job Some have been here long before Carnevale accidentally too the reins as head coach of the basketball team in 1944-45.

This Carnevale has done a lot for the University. The fact that his basketball team accomplished what it has in the past two sea- incf imnnrtAnf. to many people as the publishing of an excellent research finding by some faculty member. It should not be overlooked. - - TTT,frtrfnnQpW 1tp students could do little about keeping. Carne vale. The people who really wanted him had their hands ,tied by, more than one set of strings. Nevertheless, it is simply foolish to lose a man who has contributed so-much to the University m sucn o email 'fimo 'School spirit never will buy a loaf of bread and of course Carne ia i,ari iv nut for himself. In other words the whole trouble was money. The University said that it couldn't afford to retain Carnevale because other offers were lar too nign in companauju. Let it be said here and now that ... the University couldn't afford lV AUUV ww -- nm,;0 .rmiiVn not. onlv to Carnevale but other faculty members as JLUM J ; - , wefl. We have let a lot of the best slip through our fingers simply because we couldn't afford to pay. Any farmer will tell you that a tractor is better than four mules. And here we conclude with, weed out the mediocre and at least make an attempt to retain tne f ".-', Knaf ATI PR.

COMPROMISE NEEDED! that last the last - -Rntv fltiident nolitical narties. in their platforms last April, rrvmispH the student bodv a constitution. "I won't vote for the constitution if the legislature includes .this particular clause" or words to the equivalent were spoken by responsible individuals at the legislature's session Thursday night. One student said that he would throw a bloc of his fraternity brothers against the constitu tion if a certain article was included bv the legislature's conven tion. Now is the time for all good parties to carry out their plat forms and come to the aid of a constitution. There is now a group of individuals who want to scrap the whole document if every part of it does not conform to their individual specifications, mere is no doubt that every student on the campus can find something in the constitution which he doesn't like, and if it becomes fashionable to oppose the whole document because of some part, we won't "have a constitution, which most students seem to want. ' The legislature's convention and the student body must realize ' low that the crreatest threat to our constitution is coming from those who want the constitution most, but are unwilling to sacri fice a few of their personal views m a grand compromise which On the Likely Perverseness of Women When They Have a Sit uation under Control; and the General Cussedness of Telephone Operators: "Long distance." "Long distance? I wanta make a person-to-person call to Lynch burg, Va., please." 'All right. Who are you call ing, please?" "Miss Fanny Boswell, dolph-Macon College." "Fanny?" Yes, Boswell." How do you spell name?" "B-O-S-W-E-L-L." "Murgatroyd?" "No, Boswell. Boswell, well." "Thank you. Just a moment please." (Long pause.) "ttpIIo Chanel Hill? Your What is your. name please? "Bill Smith." "How do you spell name please?" "How do you spell name? You spell it M-U-R-G-A- T-R-O-Y-D." "Oh, Smith, eh? What num ber are you calling from please "2397." . "Deposit seventy-five, plus tax. please." "Listen, lady, I hate to be per sonal, but just how much is the tax?" "One moment please." (Pause.) "The tax is twenty cents. "Thus making it 95c in all?" "One moment please. Seventy five nlus twenty . . . fivenzeroz- fiiro twnnsevenznine. That'll be Al v w 95c in all." "Gee, thanks." Clunk, clunk, clunk. Clink, clink. "Go ahead, Chapel Hill." "Hello, Fanny?" "Bill! You angel!" "Listen, Fanny, excuse me for calling you this late, but I have iust this minute gotten, er, out of the infirmary, and didn't know I was, er, gonna get out so soon. The German Club is throwing a helluva dance here this week end and I'd like-to know if you can come?" "Oh, you dahling! You perfect dahling!" "Then you can come?" "Well ... yes and no." "What do you mean, Fanny ? Well, you see it's this way, Bill. I already have a date for it and am leaving for Chapel Hill in the morning." "Vmi already have a jl w ve. v date?" "You're so right. I already have a date." "Well!" "However, I wish I were going with you. I'd rather go with you than anybody." "Aw-w-w. I bet you tell that to all the boys." "I do, dearie, but it still makes vou feel good! Tee hee. Bye honey." By Bookie Jabine "The Student Body of the uni versity is self-governing." The above is quoted from the Uni versity of North Carolina Re cord, for the Session, 1945-46. Liberal self-government as prac ticed on the campus is a heritage found in few other institutions. The University lays down no code of strict rules to direct a student what to do and what not to do. In fact, by way of popu lar elections, the student chooses a code of rules for himself. In recent months, as always, there has been much talk and talk alone of certain discrepan cies in our student government. Many realize that these flaws exist, but take little or no inter est in way they exist or how they may be abolished. Are the campus leaders at fault? Is the student legislature failing to do its job? Are other university organizations blind to the facts? No, it is the student who passes off campus elections and politics as utter foolishness. The students run this univers ity, no matter how many fail to realize it. They have an oppor tunity in the near future to take action. By their vote, they can undo any blunders that exist. By Readers See: 'Double Talk' In Columns On Foreign Policy Dear Editor: Two editorials on foreign re lations, both by the same editor, appeared in the April 9th and April 13th Daily Tar Heels. A comparison of these two edi torials reveals interesting pos sibilities as to the writers under lying beliefs. The first editorial castigates American foreign pol icy as nationalistic and imperial ist, leading to an arms race and war. The bases for the criticism are first, that America is pursu ing her ends by unilateral action, refusing to cooperate with other powers for "real peace", failing to act through the , UNO toward collective security and world disarmament, and second, that our policy supports illiberal forces in a number of countries. The April 13th editorial justi fies a present negation of the fol- loWintr nrincinles. "Thou shalt u A. ' not walk out of UNO meetings "Thou shalt not keep troops in another country", "Thou shall not hold secret conclaves", in the light of present realities and "the greatest good for the greatest number". In other words, this editorial declares that conditions prevailing in the world today justify unilateral action and re fusal to act through the UNO. Whose action is being justified? Is it America's? The first edi torial condemns the "retention of our troops in friendly coun tries;" the second says that the principle "Thou shalt not keep troops in another country does not apply to our present " day world. Does the writer mean to contradict himself? Or does he mean to justify the action, of Russia in keeping troops in an other country while condemning that action by America? , Does he support unilateral action by Russia and condemn unilatera action by America? An appraisa i - .i of American foreign poncy founded on any such hidden principle is dangerously mislead ing and hopelessly-unreliable. Wallace C. Murchison " Winston Broadfoot their vote, they shall select their way of campus life for the com ing session. These votes, however, must be intelligent votes. They must be born of a reasonable amount of thought concerning conflicting issues. They can not be the "well, Joe says he's a good man" type of ballot. Neither can they be thj "what do I care about politics" type. An election based on such irresponsible thinking cannot be expected to provide an efficient way of life at Carolina. On the other hand, a thinking See WRITER Page S Hep Joe Cites Slips.... Dear Editor: T alwavs read a music column with interest, and Brad Mcuuen s is no exception. Although his articles make me wince, I always give a man credit for trying . . . trying that is. Todav he says that "soon bands like the Duke's will stop playing dance dates and limit themselves to concerts." This is possible but not probable, and I wonder how many bands he thinks there are like the Duke's. Rrad informs us that Claude Thornhill is going to play for our May Frolics. Mr. Thornhill is one of my favorite musicians and one of the foremost stylists of dance music today. I commena tne committee who seeks new and refreshing music, but don't you think thev should wait until he has a band before they sign him? According to Down Beat Magazine Claude boy won't have a band until the latter part of this month. "Dis meks me wunda too. Mr. McCuen's statement about Coleman Hawkm's legendary fame on alto sax was almost right. It's legend because Hawk has been resting on his big fat "laurels" for five years; but leave us face it, Brad, "The Bean" plays tenor, not alto sax. Sincerely, Mike Loftus. " Lazy Man's Holiday . . . . Dear Editor: At last week's convocation Dr. Hardin Craig implied that Caro lina's student body was lazy. Laziness, he proclaimed, is the cause for students' f ailincr to produce grade A work. I hasten to tne de fense of the male students and say that laziness is not the cause for the death of accomplishments hereabouts. Instead, lack oi time in which to produce is to blame ! Listed below are a number of small tasks that require a good bit of time over a period of a week. If all these non-essential duties were put end to end, the male student could produce an amount of work that would amaze even Dr. Craig. Task Time Daily Shavins ' (daily) 15 min. Brushing teeth (daily) 3 min. Shower (daily) .. - 20 mm. Coffee (1 cup daily) 15 min. Coke (sm. 1 daily) 5 min. Haircuts (1 weekly) 20 min. Beer (1 daily) - 30 min. Reading DTH (6 days weekly) 45 min. Dating local coeds (thrice weekly) 720 min. Movie (once weekly solo) 90 min. Writing home (once weekly) " 10 min. Time Weekly 1 hr. 45 min. 21 min. 2 hrs. 20 min. 1 hr. 45 min. 35 min. 20 min. 3 hrs. 30 min. 4 hrs. 30 min. 12 hrs. 1 hr. 30 min. 10 min. GRAND WEEKLY TOTAL w 28 hrs. 46 min. The above sample demonstrates that-28 hours and 46 minutes could be saved weekly. . Figures given were computed at a mini mum (especially relative, to consumption of alcoholics and dating of coeds) and are intended to serve as a guide for the individual student. -Any male member of the student body who has the urge to bring his grades up to par could devise his own time saving table thus affording himself additional hours in which to study. Once the quaint and old-fashioned conventions are cast aside on this campus and this method put into practice, Carolina will be come a haven for B-odorous, unshaven but highly intellectual young men.
