Think About This...
In Paris a group of men sit talking and working. They are
seeking a peace they will not find. Seeking a peace they will not
find because they have learned nothing from two years. Seeking
a peace they will not find because they have learned nothing from
the thousands of years that go to make the history of our
world.
It is not for us to say that they are not in earnest. We believe
many of them are, but they cannot find peace as long as it is in
relation to their own person to their own country. We have
been taught to look at the world in that light. The Americans
have been taught that the things right for America are right for
the world. The Russians have been taught that the things right
for Russia are right for the world. We have been taught lies!
All of us have been taught lies. We have believed that patriot
ism is right and all else wrong. To give a life for one's country
is the greatest gift a man can give.
We read of the. murder of an American with horror and are
unmoved by the death of a Greek. The Russian is unmoved by
the death of a Frenchman. The Englishman is unmoved by the
death of an Italian. We have forgotten our world while think
ing only of one country. We have forgotten your world,
thinking only of one country. We have forgotten your world,
my world, the Frenchman's world, the Russian's world OUR
World. It is to that world that we owe our all not just to
Russia, to France, to Germany, to Italy, or even the United States.
First of all we are citizens of the world. We must remember
that ! Tomorrow will be too late to remember it. We must
we have to remember today if the death of millions is not again
to be in vain. What America, Russia, France, China what
any country wants is not important.' What the world wants
IS important. We can find no peace alone. The problem of the
red man, the yellow man or the black man is as much my busi
ness and as much your business as the problem of any man.
We must know that now. The men in Paris must learn it be
fore it is too late I
No man is an Hand, intire of it selfe; every man
is a peace of the Continent, a part of the maine ;
if a Clod be washed away by the Sea, Europe is the
lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as if a
Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were ; any
mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in
Mankinde ; And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls ; It tolls for thee. J ohn Donne.
You Might Be Walking
Thursday night, two members of the local police force stopped
a car which was vainly striving to turn around in the middle
of Franklin street and made the driver, a student, change places
with another student who was seated in the car.
There are but two reasons for such action being taken by the
policeman. Either the driver of the vehicle didn't know how
to drive, or he was inebriated. You can draw your own conclu
sions as to which reason is the more valid. We have already
done so.
The scene, when it occurred, was a humorous one to all of
those in the immediate vicinity who witnessed it. Yet, a few
minutes of sober reflection impresses on one the fact that the
situation could become anything but humorous.
Now, with an increase in the size of the student body, the in
crease in the number of automobiles will be more than propor
tionate. Many students have been waiting for the increased
production of cars. In the future, all those who want cars will
be able to get them, and some of the new students will bring
theirs here with them.
We are not opposed to students having their cars on the cam
pus. An automobile is a very handy thing to have af ound here
and in some cases is an absolute necessity. But carelessness in
the way the students handle their cars must cease if the increase
in the number of vehicles on the campus is to meet with Univer
sity sanction.
Many universities throughout the country prohibit the use
of cars on the campus by students'. A similar situation fiere is
not beyond the realm of imagination. It can be prevented,
however, by the students through the use of care and considera
tion .
Care in how, when, and where they drive. Consideration for
the rights and lives of others. Chapel Hill is only a small town.
Student drivers must adapt their driving to conform with the
limitations necessitated by the great number of people here.
By doing so, they will help themselves and others.

What Do
YOU Say?
By Sam, Daniels
Today's Question
Do you think that coeds should be
allowed to drink in fraternity houses ?
. The Answers
Yes, since coeds are going to drink
anyway, fraternities afford a more
favorable atmosphere and present
more pleasing surroundings for a
social drink than the usual clandes
tina invitation. Alma Bullard, Ashe
boro. No, not that I disapprove of social
drinking, but I think that this would
be an encouragement to those who
don't drink otherwise or distasteful
to those who disapprove of it. If a
coed deems it her duty for social(?)
standing to drink, I believe that she
can find an opportunity elsewhere. I
think that a better goal for the peo
ple of N. C. would be to have open
bars. Jacque Landfear, Hamlet.
Yes, 4I think that students should
be able to cope with fraternity drink
ing. Accepted drinking would elim
inate undercover drinking. Just be
cause one person is drinking does not
constitute a basis for others drink
ing. Pat Hitz, Boynton Beach, Fla.
I definitely believe that there
should be no restrictions on coeds
drinking in fraternity houses. It
would mean that undercover and ex
cessive drinking would be eliminated.
Restrictions on drinking only forces
people to hide in basements and
kitchens, etc. Most students now are
veterans and much older now and they
have, or should have, a higher stand
ard of morals. John Cordon, Louis
ville. I say yes, as fraternity houses pre
sent the advantages of modified and
regulated social drinking for the co
ed, and these advantages are seldom
offered in the back alleys and the
open range' country. Our coeds are
usually forced to gulp from a bottle
and chase it with a cigarette. Only
steel guts can handle that sort of
thing too long and our coeds' tum
mies are not made that way. Faced
with the fact that our coeds are going
to drink anyway, the least we can do
is to give them the best environment
for doing so. Angus McKellar, Row
land. , ' ' ?
Yes, I do. The ban againsjt drink
ing only forces those who are going
to drink to go somewhere else or to
do it on the sly. The real problem is
overindulgence by minority and
the restrictions do not solve that
problem. The coeds are not children
and shouldn't be treated as such.
George Scholl, Charlotte.

the greatest American that ever
lived?
Sound Track ....
"Searching Wind" Found
To Be Merely a Breeze
By Bob Finehout
Paramount's "The Searching Wind" never reaches gale-like proportions;
for that matter it could hardly billow a girl's skirt in the fun house at Coney
Island. Once in- a while it scatters a few leaves, but unlike the capricious
March wind, it doesn't have the sense of humor to scamper away with a
man's fedora or blow the Monday
wash off the line.
Lillian Hellman, who wrote the
screenplay, contrives to make her
wind huff and puff for the cause of
democracy and occasionally she does
succeed in rattling the shutters, but
a light sleeper wouldn't even be dis
turbed. Miss Hellman's idea is praise
worthy, namely to sound a note of
warning to this generation not to
bobble the ball like their fathers did
and let fascism score a run. If the
screenplay had stuck to this premise
and not got itself bogged down in one
of the most deplorably dull triangle
plots ever, Miss Hellman might have
sounded a clarion call the world
would heed.
The producers cast Robert Young
as the correspondent who eventual
ly becomes a conservative career
diplomat and who sees too late the
threat of fascism in its incipient
stages. "Mussolini is bringing law
and order to Italy," he asserts in
his lavish hotel room in Rome. A
moment later two shots shatter the
window pane. "Those were meant
for your father," Young informs his
fiancee.
In Rome, Correspondent Young
gets a nasty whiff of Nazism when
a bunch of Hitler's hoodlums pummel
a Jew. "And to think that this could
happen in the year 1928," Young's
other girl friend, a newspaper wom
an, remarks as they sit down to order
a couple of martinis. By this time
Young, with" amazing discernment, is
Room-Hunting Riot ....
Lodging in Tent, Furnace
Discovered by Columnist
By Tookie Hodgson
The other day, as I was calmly thumbing through the curve-packed pages
of "Esquire," my thoughts wandered
tor mYsM nert taU.
Always a. person 01 energy ana aireciness, a aeciaea 10 searcn ior suiLauie
living accommodations. - In the space of a single minute, I had fastened on
my roller skates and began to glided
o-ioc. n . should like to look around a bit
Chapel Hill.
My first stop was at McCooney
Dormitory, a splendid new edifice sit
uated in a quiet poison ivy grove near
the edge of the campus.
As I entered room 606, which was
the cubicle nearest the main en
trance, I was pleasantly surprised
at the congeniality prevailing
there. The occupants of the six
quadruple-decker " bunks were joy
ously engaged in the popular game
of "Sardines.' All twenty-four in
habitants of the room had doused
themselves with olive oil, and in
deed with their packed bodies,
green faces, and bulging eyes, re
sembled the lovely little fish.
I observed one note of discord,
however. One of the roommates' inad
vertently pulled open a dresser drawer
and crushed three of his colleagues
against the opposite wall: Also, these
gentlemen seemed to resent my of
fers of assistance, declaring that I
should leaye immediately as I was
using up precious oxygen. Being an
agreeable person, I responded with
alacrity to their not too subtly word
ed suggestion.
My next stop was at the home of
Mrs. Flumplump, a popular rooming
house for students. When that gra
cious lady met me at the door, I ex
plained to her my needs, and greatly
to my surprise she replied that -she
had "just the thing."
Eagerly, I followed the Grande
Dame of Chapel Hill to the rear of
her house, and hung anxiously on hr
words.
"There she is, Mr. Hodgson, a fine
new canvas pup-tent. Just the thing
for you, I am sure."
"But, Mrs. Flumplump," I queried,
"It will be cold this winter. I shall
surely freeze to death in this tent!"
"OTt no,- you won't!" " answered
Madame Flumplump, "I'm furnish
ing a can of Sterno every month,
and as for bathing, there is . a
lovely bird bath three blocks away.
Not only that, but I'm furnishing a
kerosene lamp and a bottle of corn
whiskey with this lovely tent. And
just think all I'm asking is $1500
a month, which includes lawnmower
service for the tent floor, and the
gold mining fights to the WHOLE
BACK YARD! Now, isn't that a
bargain?"
"Y-e-es, Mrs. Jblumplump," l re
plied thoughtfully. "But first,
convinced that fascism is alien to the
democratic way.
in fcpain aunng tne civil war
Young seeks refuge in the basement
of a cafe. As a bomb bursts and the
lights go out he spots Cassy whom
he- hasn't seen since those martinis
in .Berlin. "Cassy," he shouts, "are
you all right?" When she assures him
that she is still sound of limb, he
holds her close and says, "Cassy, you
know how I've always felt about you.
I love you, Cassy." She pushes away
from him, looks at him evenly and
states, "Italian and German bombs
are killing the Spanish people. Tell
the Americans that in your articles."
And the scene fades out.
In short, Young tells off his so
cially-conscious wife, reiterates his
love for Cassy and says a divorce is
impossible because his son, a vet
eran who blames him for World
War II, might need a father around
the house. Why . such a father I
don't know.
The production: "The Searching
Wind," a Paramount picture, pro
duced by Hal Wallis, directed by Wil
liam Dieterle, adapted to the screen
by Lillian Hellman, and with the fol
lowing cast: Robert Young, Sylvia
Sydney, Ann Richards and Dudley
Digges.
Dr. Archibald Henderson has a re
cord of 52 years' association with the
University, four earned academic de
grees, five honorary degrees, and an
average of authoring a book a year
during his residence at Chapel Hill
idly to the problem of obtaining a room
more." And suiting the action to the
word, I swished on down the street.
My next stop was at the sumptu
ous abode of Prof. Martin Huppelwup
pel. This popular pedagogue was at
that time sitting on the front lawn
playing with toy soldiers, but when I
told him the purpose of my visit, he
leaped to his feet and addressed me.
"Aha! Mr. Hodgson, I was just re
enacting the 'Battle of Bunker Hill
Tomorrow, I shall borrow my good
wife's corset, and re-enact the 'Battle
of the Bulge,' but enough of small
talk! Come with me, I think .1 have
just what you need,", and without fur
ther ado, the Professor led me down
a flight of stairs to his cellar.
"Well, here it is!" announced my
. host.
"Where, sir?" I said. "I do not
see any room here, only a few
thousand empty whiskey bottles and
- a counterfeiting press!"
"It's in the furnace, old fellow!"
gaily answered the Professor.
"The furnace!" I exclaimed.
"Yes, the furnace!" said Huppel
wuppel.. "Think of it! A place that's
always warm, day and night! No
sirree! Your feet will never get cold
if you sleep in there! And I'm throw
ing in an asbestos sleeping bag in the
bargain. And just think, I'm only
charging $150 a month! That's be
cause I usually don't rent rooms to
students, but of course, in these try
ing times we must all sacrifice!"
"You aren't kidding!" I glumly re
plied, forking over the money and ac
climatizing myself for my new quar
ters by applying lighted matches to
my ears.

Distressed
Dear Bill:
My copy of Saturday's Daily Tar
Heel arrived today, and as usual, I
enjoyed reading the news of the place
I like very much. But I was some
what distressed when I turned to the
editorial page and read your article,
"Talking Nonsense," and also the let
ter written by Mr. Leo Nance, which
were criticizing recent action of the
Dialectic Senate in its discussion of
possible elimination of some of the
regular monthly pay which is now
being sent to the veterans who are en
rolled under the G. I. Bill of Rights
and also the discussion of the possible,
raising of qualifications to "be levied
upon those eligible for educational
benefits from the Veterans' Adminis
tration." Since I am not attending school
during the summer, I was unable to
be at that discussion, but I shall stand
up forever on the right of the Di, or
any other organization, to discuss
whatever it chooses whenever it
chooses. There has been some other
criticism in the past concerning the

EASY TO WED with an John

wondering what MGM would do
with their prize toothy ex-chorus
boy now that they've run out of
heroic first lieutenants, for him to
play. I suppose this is the answer,
because Van dances, Van sings, Van

NIGHT IN CASABLANCA with
the Marx Brothers. For my moola,
these lads are always good entertain
ment. This one is a take-off on all the
spy stories that were featured dur
ing the late international upleasant

NIGHT AND DAY with Cary
Grant and Alexis Smith. There's real
ly no reason to have made this pic
ture, except for the fact that MGM
made a picture on the life of George
Gershwin. So natchally Warner's

CENTENNIAL SUMMER with

well, Mama always told me that the
summer was a good thing to sleep

of the lush cour pf the Romans,
see the most seductive beauty that
ever lived, see the most expensive

Dialectic Senate, but it seems that
those who yell the loudest are the
ones who know the least about the
organization.
The main purpose of the Di is to
promote interest in public speaking
and debatable subjects and to help de
velop the oratorical talents which re
main hidden in many students there
at the University today. It also gives
its members a chance to learn some
parliamentary procedure by actual ex
perience with the same. The reason
the organization considers a highly
controversial subject occasionally
which seems like "nonsense" to some
of our outside friends is because that
such a subject stirs the emotions of
those individuals and makes them more
than ever want to get up and get
those things "off their chests." By
this procedure they "forget them
selves" and find out that they can ac
tually express themselves in public;
this leads, in most cases, to a sincere
desire to go on and conquer the handi
