Stable to .
For a number of years student government here at Carolina
has been beset with a number of difficulties. A great deal of,
duplication in its organization, duplicity among its members,
ill-defined powers and duties of student government "officers,
and particularly in recent years, too great a turnover among
student government personnel have all contributed to form
obstacles in the path of smooth government.
Now we have a student body constitution. The ill-defined
powers and duties have either been cleared up or are in the
process of being cleared up. Most important of all, we now
Have for -the first time since the beginning of the war a
reasonably stable student body. We can reasonably expect
present student officers to serve out' their terms.
The present group of student leaders and the present student
body, besides being stable for the first time in many years, are
alsb composed of men who have the experience and ability to
work out all the wrinkles that interfere with the wheels of
progress here at the University. For the first time since the
war, the students have a group of mature leaders who can make
student government what they want it to be.
Now they have the opportunity to prove that student govern
ment does work for if student government does not work, no
. government will work. If any person or any group of persons,
through personal or group ambition, attempt to block the smooth
operation of student government, they should be kicked out of
office on the same principle that any student caught cheating or
disrupting the work of the Carolina honor system should be
kicked out of school.
Politics is apparently a necessary evil on the campus. It
should, however, be left behind when a person takes a student
body office. We hope our student "statesmen" can remember
this.
More Moving
Those students who were so glad to get out of the army and
wave their white discharge papers happily in free air can list
numerous gripes that they long nursed against certain prac
tices that are synonymous with military life.
And imagine the feelings of those veterans quartered in the
Battle-Vance-Pettigrew and Steele dormitories yesterday when
told that they were being moved out to other dorms about the
campus. . ( s, (j
One of the most playful little tricks the army had was in con
sistently having the boys pack up their belongings and move to
a new barracks area, tent, ot hotel whatever the case might be.
Now the University pulls the same trick, and the residents of
the above-mentioned dormitories will have to be out by Monday.
True, the situation is not exactly similar. The men moving out
this week are being given, as much as possible, a chance to move
in wherever else they choose. The reason for the mass exodus
is that the building department is going to paint and repair the
buildings and now is the only time that they will have to do it.
When asked why they didn't wait until September to clean
up the dormitories, University officials answered that the build
ing department is going to use that time to repair all of the
other dorms on the campus. A thorough check was made on
the number of vacant rooms elsewhere and it was found that the
men living in BVP and Steele at present can be conveniently
roomed in other dormitories for the rest of the summer. If the
present residents of the to-be-evacuated dormitories want to
return in the fall and have made the proper reservations, that
they may do.
Yet, a person, once comfortably situated, hates to move, and
such action must still recall to the minds of many of the men
moving similar incidents over the past few years and they will
air again the gripes that went with those apparently pointless
army changes of scenery.
The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the
abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide
enough for those who have too little. Franklin Delano
Roosevelt

A .word of advice before studying
for your exams. Read over your class
notes and see if you can make any
sense out of the pictures you drew.
Question of the week: Why is it
that a 1 pint 2 ounce can of "Con
fidence Brand" tomato juice costs
twenty-five cents at the "Scuttlebutt,
and the same can of tomato juice costs
fourteen cents at the "P oVV Gro
ceteria" in Carrboro? The owner of
the P & V Groceteria assures me that
he makes a fair and reasonable profit
selline: the stuff at fourteen cents.
Surely the "Scuttlebutt" which is sup
posed to be a minimum-profit enter
prise doesn't have to charge eleven
cents more on a two bit item to make
a decent profit. Howcum profiteering
at student expense in an agency sup
posedly operated for the benefit of the
students' is allowed? Makes a fella
r
wonder what the margin of profit on
some of the other items is.
The North Carolina Highway Divi
sion is currently conducting a cam
paign for safer driving. I'm all for
it. According to the wheels in Raleigh
some of the, major menaces on , the
highway are "drunken driving, uncon
trolled thumbing, and indiscriminate
spooning." Or, to put it briefly for us
lads and lassies, "hie, hike and hug."
I turned on my roommate's radio
the other afternoon and was greeted
with a new song to the tune of the
"Mission Bell Wine," commercial. You
know the one I mean, it goes, "Just
the other day, I heard a fella say . . ."
etc. With the Chiquita Banana thing
already garnering nickles in the juke
boxes I'm beginning to worry. Is this
indicative of a trend? Will our fu
ture song-writers join the Ad-Writer's
Guild instead of ASCAP? Who knows,
if this continues Dr. Slocum might
hafta start teaching courses in "Coun
terpoint and Commercials." With this
current trend continuing I just can't
wait until the juke box moguls will
let me throw my nickles away on the
Pepsi Cola jingle (jangle), and the
Griffin Shoe Polish commercial.
Don't .fail to catch Susan Reed to
morrow night in her performance at
Memorial Hall at eight-thirty peeyem.
This gal is definitely top grade enter
tainment, and she has stood New York
on its collective nightclub ear for lo
these many moons. If you. don't en
joy her program, then you're a mighty
hard individual to please.
However, one hint to the people in
charge is in order. Puleeze, open the
windows in Memorial Hall, so we
don't hafta suffer unnecessarily from
the heat the way we did during the
Deep River Singers concert. Seems
kinda silly to keep the windows shut
tight and pack a few hundred people
into the auditorium.
Deep River Singers' Lively
v. - r .- ' .... , '
Reudiiions Evoke Plaudits
By ,R. H. Hamilton
The second Graham Memorial" Student Entertainment presentation of the
current summer session attracted a near-capacity audience to Memorial Hall,
Sunday night, whose enjoyment was insured by an exciting and brilliant per
formance by the Deep River Singers. To say that the harmony and folk
singing was received enthusiastically would merely be a characterization of
the fine performance and intelligent, adult entertainment that was offered
the campus by the smooth, stage-wise quartet.
Opening the session with what was n Th Crucified" My Lord?'
rtmarl a "Plontotmn T i-fn flnmvr'' nf -
termed a "Plantation Life Group" of
songs the Deep River Singers pre
sented a lively rendition of "Halleleu
jah" and "Waiting for the Robert E.
Lee" followed by "Sleep Kentucky
Babe," with which the group evoked
cheers from the audience by their
vocal imitation t of the trumpet and
bass violin. A' spirited, animated,
comic rendition of Brooklyn school
teacher Jacque Wolfe's "Shortenin'
Bread" was the high spot of the Plan
tation Life group. Peter DeRose'
"Wagon Wheels," "Dem Bones-Dry
Bones" and "J ohn Brown's Body" com
pleted the initial part of the program.
Harold Robinson, baritone member
of the quartet, was next featured in
a solo rendition of "Invictus.' His ar
rangement and singing was top-grade,
and the audience was immediately
aware that they were listening to a
cultured, highly trained versatile bari
tone voice.
Appearing in casual colorful cos
tumes the entire quartet followed the
solo spot with their "Modern Group"
featuring "Plenty of Nuthin'," "Sum
mertime," "Woman is a Sometime
Thing," and "'Taint Necessarily So"
from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess;
Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady"
in afashion after the Ink-Spots and
"Darkt;own Strutter's Ball." The en
tire modern portion of the program
was performed with feeling, finesse
and a wonderful sense of timing that
had the entire audience wishing for
more of these songs in the polished
style of the quartet.
The able piano accompanist of the
Deep River Singers, Gentry Warren,
offered the audience a powerful per
formance of Peter DeRose "Royal
Blue." In his solo spot, as well as in
his piano work with the vocal quartet,
Warren displayed genuine musician
ship and integrity on his instrument.
For the third portion, of the pro
gram, the group chose to circulate.
The slightly more classical "Asleep m
the Deep" by Petrie, Koutz' "The Open
Road" and the favorite of barber shop
quartets, "Dear Old Girl" were fea
tured in this group as the Singers cir
culated from the more classical to
the popular numbers with equal fa
cility in each.
First Tenor, Merton Smith, followed
this group with his interpretation of
Charles Feree's "Were You There
What Do
YOU Say?
Acknowledging: the applause which
greeted the serenity and beauty of
his performance Smith presented as
his encore the tender love ballad of
Clarence Geiger, "Ere Love Was
Mine."
The final portion of the evening's
entertainment featured the full quar
tet in their Negro Spiritual Group.
Here the full artistry of the Deep
River Singers was apparent as they
performed the spirituals "Old Arc is
aMoverin," "Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot," "I Got a Robe" and "I'll be
Ready When the Great Day Comes."
As an encore, another spiritual
"Climbing up the Mountain," ended
what for many in the audience was
the most enjoyable student entertain
ment presentation in months.

Foo Foo of Mu Cow Mu and
The Atomic Fraternity Pin
By Tookie Hodgson
As you will remember, last week we left the genius of the University,
Heironymus Alphabet Tuttle, just as he was about to embark on a date with
Foo Foo Jellyroll, campus queen and the president of the Mu Cow Mu soror
ity. As we take up the story now, we find Mr. Tuttle has already called for
Miss Jellyroll, and the happy couple are even now skipping down the ar
boretum path together. ,
"Heironymus, dear," spoke Miss Foo Foo in her coyest manner, "That is a
beautiful fraternity pin you are wearing. I just love the way it shines, and
it must be at least two feet square !"
"Yes, Miss Jellyroll, you woman,
you," answered Heironymus, who was
even now learning something about
girls. "Seymour Sinkhole XIII rented
it to me. It's painted with atom pow
der, which is, as you know, one hun
dred times as bright as the sun. Mr.
Sinkhole is very proud of the Inka
Dinka Doo fraternity and he wants
everyone within 50 miles to know it.
Of course, the atom powder does make
one a bit radioactive at times but
what's a minor inconvenience like that
when it's for the good of the fra
ternity!" "Ah yes," replied Foo Foo, "I, too,
am a member of a great sisterhood.
Of course, I was, a little bit shy about
joining a 'Greek' society at first. I
thought they made you work in a
restaurant or something. But never
mind about me, let's talk about that
fraternity pin you're wearing."
"Tut, tut, I don't wish to bore you,"
bashfully answered the scholar.
"Don't be silly, you old bookworm
you," said Miss Jellyroll, brushing
the cobwebs and stack-room must out
of Tuttle's hair.
"I do declare, Miss Jellyroll, you're
more fun than Gibbon's Decline and
Fall of the Roman Empire" gleefully
responded the Campus Intellect, en
tering into the spirit of the occasion.
"Yes, thank you very much,
Heironymus, sweetie-pie, but what
about that lovely frat pin?" Foo Foo
persisted.
"Oh, please, Miss Jellyroll," inter
jected Master Tuttle, "I don't want
you to worry your little head about
such a trivial thing as a fraternity
pin."
"Trivial, hell," muttered Foo Foo
under her breath.
"I beg your pardon," said Tuttle.
"It was nothing, honeylamb. Here,
don't you want me to polish your
octafocal spectacles for you? Take
them off. Besides, I want to see if
you have any eyes," responded the
Potentate of Mu Cow Mu's in her
most beguiling manner, and her escort
promptly obliged.
"Er, Miss Jellyroll," stammered the
man who put Phi Beta Kappa to
shame, "I was just about to suggest
that you might drop up to my quar
ters for a cup of ovaltine, and per
haps see my butterfly collection."
"Wherever that . frat pin goes, I
go," Miss Jellyroll amiably replied.
"However, that Ovaltine is a new one
on me. What's it made of gin?"
"Goodness, no," he answered, "It's
made of a kind of malt."
"Malt," yelled Foo Foo gleefully,
"that's fine. Give me 10 or 15 cups!
I've been in training for malt drinking
with A. B. C. Jones the human brew
ery keg of the campus. Yes, I'm a
great malt drinker. But what about
that nice fraternity pin. Don't you
want to let me wear it for you? I've
got the perfect setting for it."
"Yes, Miss Jellyroll," responded the
Great Man, "Indeed you do have. I
can see that even without my glasses.
Well, if you will tell me why you
want the pin, I shall give it to you."
See FOO. FOO, page U
Against Four to a Room
We notice that two campus organi
zations have advocated four students
in the dormitory rooms. We feel that
the rooms, especially in the lower
quadrangle, are designed for two stu
dents and cannot adequately house
four. These rooms are at present
crowded to the limit with three stu
dents. Under the proposed conditions, stu
dents would have little opportunity to
study in their rooms. They would
have no place to hang their clothes.
Apparently the speakers for the two
organizations are not familiar with
existing conditions in the men's dor
mitories. As We see it, there are two possible
solutions to the housing shortage:
First, for and only during the emer
gency, not to provide rooms for mar
ried couples. Each of these rooms
would then house two additional stu
dents. Second, that Democratic Nor
thern students and liberated Southern
students give up their dormitory, fra
ternity or other space and find quar
ters in homes of our neighboring com
munity. y F. D. Dawson

Today's Question
What are your favorite sources of
recreation on this campus?
The Answers
With its numerous facilities and
abundance of swell programs, Graham
Memorial offers an abundance of en
tertainment. We can't kick on the
swimming pools (except the BVD's
we are compelled to wear). The
movies in town are best in the state.
There is so much entertainment that
it is hard to choose which ones to
attend. Harold Morris, Fayetteville.
My favorite form of recreation dur
ing the summer session is swimming
in the outdoor pool. Running a very
close second is drinking beer at one
of the Hill's joints with a coed. The
lines are pretty long though for both
beer and dates unless you are a
BMOC or homestead on the phone. No
regrets though and I am looking for
ward to the fall term and all its
sports attractions. Paul Gordy,
Gainesville, Fla.
My favorite form of recreation has
been doing anything except school
work. Due to the weather conditions
I think that I enjoy going out to Spar
row's Pool with a case of beer more
than anything else. Of course going
down to Kenan Stadium with a full
moon has proved better than going to
the movies. "Cupcake" Johnson
Farmville, N. C.
The swimming pool and the Candle
light Room are my favorite forms of
recreation so far, although I am look
ing forward to works by the Caro
lina Playmakers. I only wish I could
be here for football season. There
are no end of things to do on this
campus. Janet Robertson, Jackson
ville, Fla.
Being's I can't claim to be one of
the great athletic girls, I find my
source of recreation is walking to
and from the zoology building four
times a day, and exercising my arm
muscles by cutting on frogs. This is
my recreation during the day. At
night, among other things, my favor
ite sport is jitterbugging under the
famous Carolina moon. Joy Harper,
Monroe, La.
The Carolina campus is a far cry
from Danville's playgrounds but for
a bang-up time it's Carolina two to
one. Give me picnicking at Hogan's
and dancing at the Candlelight Room.
It wouldn't be a half bad existence if
only we had a little more time for
shut-eye. Jo Benton, Danville, Va.
Next week: What factors made ycu
decide to come to Carolina?
What Am I Offered?.
"At any rate," said the auction
eer, "mine is a business tha. wom
en can't infringe upon."
, "Nonsense," said a strong-minded
lady. "A woman could make quite
as good an auctioneer as any man."
"Oh, she would?" he retorted.
"Well, try and imagine a young
woman getting up in front of a
crowd and saying: 'Now, gentle
mne, all I want is an offer'."
