THE DAILY TAR HEEL
SUNDAY. OCTOBER 6, 1946
The First Step
The first step in, the process of increasing and bettering edu
cational facilities at the University of North Carolina was taken
in Raleigh Friday afternoon. Officials of the Greater Univer
sity recommended to the Advisory Budget Commission that the
state spend $30,000,0Q0 on permanent improvements at the in
stitutions in Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and Greensboro.
Included in the noteworthy list of planned improvements
asked , for by Chancellor House was a recommended 20 per cent
salary increase for members of the faculty. -
With the state enjoying a surplus of almost $48,000,000 it is
to be expected that the long overdue increase" in professors' pay
will be forthcoming when the legislature meets in January.'
There can be no question as to the need for increasing wages
paid the men who are charged with teaching present-day stu
dents at this University. Long famed across the nation as one
of the top state universities in the country because of its excel
lent staff of teachers, Carolina in recent years has begun to
suffer from the loss of professors who were outstanding in
their respective fields, but who have moved on to greener fields
elsewhere.
-Students may now see a glimmer of hope for the future. Bril
liant professors should have more inducement for remaining at
Chapel Hill than a mere love for the town. Many who have re
mained have done so for that reason alone.
With a good salary scale existing in comparison with other
schools in the United States, Carolina would no longer need
worry about keeping the men who have helped build the Uni
versity's reputation here to maintain it.
Stirring School Spirit
With the increased enrollment of all kinds and ages of stu
dents at the University of North Carolina and the increasing
emphasis on professionalism, the problem of stirring school
spirit to its pre-war potency is no little task. The cheerleaders
are responsible for spearheading a revival of college spirit.
The messy way in which the cheering section on the Carolina
, side functioned in the VPI game cannot be blamed on the cheer
leaders alone. The problem is too great to be solved overnight,
but the cheerleaders should realize that their job will take more
than mere prancing before the stands on Saturday afternoons.
To get the cheering support at its maximum, the cheerleaders
will have to spend more time in organizing. They will have to
devise schemes to get the heterogeneous mass of students inter
ested in a rejuvenation of school spirit.
For one thing, the Carolina football team left for Miami with
out a fragment of. fanfare from the student body. The team
will, in all probability, return with the same absence of sup
port by the students, in spite of its splendid victory.
Before the war Carolina teams were greeted in the wee hours
of the morning by cheering Carolina students who came out
to give the Tar Heels a warm reception whether the footballers
won or lost. That's the real tone of college spirit.
The job of fanning the dying embers of school spirit into a
swirling ilame rests on the cheerleaders, who are under the di-
. rection of the head cheerleader elected by the student body. So
far no plans have been announced by this group. Maybe they
will get to work soon, in an attempt at least, to revive what only
a few years back was one of he warmest features of college
life.
A delegation of squirrels has complained to the University
about too many nuts in the trees. They insist that the students

To the Student Body
The following discussion of Student Government and the Honor Sys
tem was prepared for the student body by the Men's Council. Primarily
designed to further acquaint the new students with the high standards
at Carolina, it could well be read and thought about by many of the old
students on campus.

Acquittal of Three Big Nazis
Is Termed 'Most Astonishing
By Manny Margolis
In 1915, Franz von Papen referred to Americans as "those imbecilic
Yankees." The American Military Government in Germany this week in
sisted that this same von Papen be granted safe passage to the British zone 0
German occupation and that he not be arrested by the German police authori
ties who are anxious to try the Nazi diplomatic expert on various charges.
It would seem from the facts that for once in his life the recently-acquitted
Nazi was right. A combination of "Yankee imbecilism" and some not unusua
British Tommy-rot has saved not only
Papen, but his acquitted partners-mas
- yet - unrecognized - international
crime, Hjalmar Schacht and Hans
Fritsche.
It is apparent that the old adage,
"Spare the rod and spoil the Nazi
child" remains unheeded. This despite
the warnings of Bernhard Mueller,
chief of the Nuremburg de-Nazifica-tion
Board, and despite the demands
for arrest made by the Minister-
President of Bavaria, Dr. Wilhelm
Hoegner, who told reporters that he
considered the acquittal of von Papen
"a most astonishing thing. I consider
him the real instigator of the third
Reich."
Would it be illogical to remark that
possibly the Germans themselves
know more about the real German
Nazis than Justice Jackson and his
Allied associates?
A quick look at the box-score of
the trial-and-errors game just
concluded at Nuremberg would look
like a pretty substantial victory for
international justice in general and
for Allied unity in War Crimes pun
ishment, in particular. There were
nineteen putouts, only three errors,
and three men left on base. With
the exceptions of agent-provocateur
Papen, economics? manipulator
Schacht, and poison manufacturer
Fritsche. the other nineteen Nazis
were given punishment in line with
their plotting for "aggressive war."
The SS and Gestapo were convicted
on all counts.
But when it came to the Nazi Cab
met itself, the German High Com
mand, and the S. A. or Brownshirts,
the international lawyers fumbled the
ball badly, and all three were acquit
ted on all counts. In other words, all
three were working within their
rights as far as international legality
is concerned.
It is at this point that one begins
to realize that great as was the con
tribution at Nuremberg, international
law has emerged comparatively un
changed. All of which adds up to a
very bad omen for the future.
More concretely speaking, side from
the newly-created precedent that it is
a crime against humanity to wage
"aggressive war" (which is in itself
about as nebulous a term as could
have been coined), nothing was ach
ieved at Nuremberg, aside from met
ing out punishment to the internation
al cutthroats and bandits concerned.
No real precedent was established. No
binding laws were created. Interna
tional law has taken no great strides.
It has crawled a little bit, but that
is all.
A high-ranking member of the
Allied prosecution was quoted as
saying that "on the basis of the
tribunal's decision, any nation today
could go out and liquidate all its
Jews or Mohammedans or Free Ma
sons or all its left-handed citizens,
and there isn't a thing that the
world could do about it, unless there
followed the waging of 'aggressive
war.' And even so, the prosecution
One of the professors on the cam
pus recently appropriately stated
that the University was not plan
ning to , lower its standards acade
mically because both the University
and the students would lose that
which they both are seeking a
competent and through training of
the mind. The same may be said for
our form of Student overnment.
To those thousands of returning
"Carolina Men" Student Govern
ment as understood and exercised by
the students through the Honor
System and Campus Code are as an
important and characteristic part of
Carolina as its gravel walks, "Y"
Court, and individual freedom. To
all the new students it may be safe
ly said that you have been impress
ed by the high degree of campus
student government as carried out
by all members of the Student Body.
The widespread influence which
Student Government has over all
campus activities has been develop
ed through many years of earnest
effort. The sincerity of the works
which have been done in the past
and the many good things which
will be done in the future by Stud
ent Government are responsible for
the great respect it receives from
the people of the state, other
schools, and the administration.
Partially through this respect, the
Carolina men and women enjoy one
of the highest degrees of individual
freedom afforded by any University.
There must go, hand in hand
with every liberty, an acceptance of
responsibility, not only with a striv
ing to maintain and uphold those
gains made in the past but to en
large and enhance the ever broaden
ing field of student participation
and the personal values which are
within our reach to grasp through
Student Government.
You may not realize or wish to
accept the personal responsibility
which our Student Government de
mands of each student. Whether
you wish to accept it or not, the
responsibility is there and your fel
low students, in accepting their
part, shall expect you to do the
TT-V . ATT
same. Witnout acceptance by A Jul
and actual participation by many,
we would lose the good of the past
and the right to take those steps
toward Student Government expan
would have to prove tnat the mas
sacres had a direct connection with
the plan to wage its war."
In other words, wholesale slaughter
is not an international crime, so long
as the nation in question restricts its
crematoria and its schlachthauser to
its own citizens. The community of
nations is still legally without right
4- i. p i a 1 sv: '
of such a -neighbor.
It is to be hoped that similar
Schacht-treatment" will not be ac
corded the industrialists and carte-
ists, still to be tried for war crimes.
t is also to be hoped that Hans Frit
sche will quickly forget his last broad
cast over DNB, the Nazi news agency,
which his judges apparently forgot,
urging the German people to form
what was at the time the much-fear
ed underground "Werewolves" units.
And finally, it is to be hoped that Herr
von rapen nas increased his respect
for "Yankees," though it wouldn't i
seem as if the AiM.G. has given him
any cause for so doing.

Dear Sir:
Last year, overseas, on New Year's
Eve, we all said, "This is the last
New Year's Eve away from home.
Next year there will be a BIG cele
bration."
Obviously that idea was as far
fetched as were all the GI bull ses
sions about how nice it would be to
wear white shirts again.
Thanks to the scholastic calendar
that has just been published I, at any
rate, shall be on a train next New
Year's Eve. Classes begin on January
2. Take me back to Japan; my train
doesn't even have a club car.
Back in 1940, 1941, and 1942 when
the liberals (it must have been the
extreme left wing) had control over
vacations, classes began January 3.
Nobody thought that was overdoing
generosity. Then most out-ol-staters
had to leave home ory New Year's
afternoon. That was bad enough, but
to have to leave on the afternoon of
New Year's Eve is too much. Why
has this University so long insisted on
having longer summer vacations than
1 . tl it ft TTTl
aimost an otners : vvnat are one or
two days at the end of the summer?
Nothing, but they mean a lot at
Christmastime. ,

FREDERIC D. LEWIS.

sion of which we are capable and
to which we are obligated.
Unfortunately, there are usually
a few in every society who do not
feel that it is their responsibility to
uphold the standards set up by past
generations of students. We are the
heirs to a great and high standard
as put forward by the Honor Sys
tem and the Campus Code. Under
the Honor System we say that we
shall not condone lying, stealing, or
cheating on our campus. To one and
all, this is a simple doctrine which
all readily appreciate and affirm.
The interpretation of the behav
ior of the individual as brought out
through the Campus Code is more
broad in its aspects of personal
behavior. Simply, the Campus Code
states that each student will act as
a lady or a gentleman at all times.
What the terms lady and gentleman
mean to you may be different from
what they mean to your friend
or even to your roommate. This
fact prevents to the individual an
other opportunity for freedom of
thinking and action. The vast ma
jority of the Carolina Students have
and will continue to do those things
which are best for the whole. There
has never been a major or minor
crisis within the student body to
which the students did not rise to
the occasion and clear up the diffi
culties to the satisfaction of all.
If you do not feel that you can
foster and adhere to all aspects of
Student Government, then you do
never obtain from this University
not belong at Carolina for you shall
all that it can offer. Without this
proper development of your stay at
Carolina, we say to you that you
have failed yourself. Through your
activity make your stay at Caro
lina a more beneficial and enjoyable
one for yourself and your fellow
students.
