Page Two THE DAILY TAR HEEL WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1946 Spirit on the March The dying embers of school spirit roared into a brilliant bon fire last Saturday afternoon at the second home game of the season, and it was indeed -pleasing- to witness. The DTH takes no credit for this revival, but rather, extends congratulations to the cheerleaders for the vast improvement Saturday. The rains came. Tar Heels were soaked to the skin. They griped about the weather.- They wondered if jCarolina would ever play a game in Kenan stadium rather than Kenan lake. The infirmary is probably packed to the rafters with students dreading flu and pneumonia. But at the end of the game a victorious Tar Heel eleven walked from the field hearing strains of "Hark the Sound" from a great per cent of the student body. To the cheerleaders and to the entire student body, who weathered the elements to see the Tar Heels through, goes a tacit note of graitude. Their work marks the revival of Caro lines great student spirit and gives promise of a great year at Carolina. More Cooperation Needed Gene Johnstone, editor of the Yackety Yack and his staff, have a tremendous task before them this year. The job a hand ful of students is undertaking is that of compiling the record of a year at Carolina. This particular year isxmost trying since classes are still disorganized and enrollment has doubled. In order to insure adequate coverage by the yearbook of one of Carolina's most hectic years as far as publishing a yearbook is concerned, student cooperation to the fullest extent will-be necessary. When the Yackety Yack publishes announcements of general Importance to students in the Daily Tar Heel, they should take note "and follow instructions if they desire to be represented in the book. The disorganization of the classes has caused, for about the-fourth straight year, the necessity of col lecting money from individual members of the class rather than the class as a unit. Under such conditions the only way the Yack can represent the various classes is to appeal to the indi vidual to sign up for his appointment at the designated time and pay his appropriate fee. If student cooperation fails, the editors and the staff of the yearbook will face a grave problem. They will try to make deadlines, but it will be practically impossible. The deadlines can't be made without the total cooperation of the entire student body. Civilized Barbarians The above title may not seem to ring true, for according to all acceptable definitions, a barbarian is an uncivilized person. However, certain members of the student body, although ap pearing quite civilized on the surface, have proved they can be barbarians on occasion. Some of these so-called Carolina men (the gentle is omitted intentionally) gave ample evidence that they are not far re moved from their pre-historic ancestors in Aycock dormitory Saturday night. No one knows who did the damage, or at least no one will ad mit knowing, but it is fairly certain that a. group of intoxicat ed students are responsible. A brief resume of the damage included breaking window panes, throwing razor blades all over the bathroom floor, pull ing out tne water cooler pipes and flooding the hall with water, pulling clothes out of closets and scattering them over the floor and breaking chairs. There is a limit to simple fun, just plain bad taste, and even outright vandalism. The actions Saturday night surpass all of these limits. A group of wild animals probably wouldn't have created as much destruction. The creatures responsible are known only to themselves. We also hope they know that Carolina is no place for them, drunk or sober.

The word gentleman needs no qualification by Carolina, Georgia, or wnat-nave-you. uaronna nas no monopoly on gentlemen and to refer to those gentlemen here as "Carolina" gentlemen borders on conceit. With that off my chest let us talk a moment about the honor system, or what ever is left of it. I do not agree with those who blame the lack of honor on the Navy men. Many Carolina Gen tlemen were in the Navy. The type of thinking that blames a unit be cause of the actions of a few is not to be argued with. One of the main reasons the honor system is at its present state is that most men, service or not, are reluc tant to be their brother's keeper. Un less grading is on a curve, it doesn't make any difference if the man of the next row cheats or not. If he wants to do it that s his business, l can imagine the strong words that are being uttered by those who fe'el that it is their business, but just ask around and see how many people agree with me. We don't go around turning someone speeding, although I think in auto tag numbers when we notice it might be a good idea, and so we don't go around turning in the names of those who cheat. Especially since it does not affect us. The majority of students is blind when it comes to violation of the honor system because it has no direct effect on them. I am especially eager to get some reaction to this letter. And I am sure that some of my less pessimistic brethern at Carolina will disagree. For a more complete airing of the honor system I am Sincerely yours, BELL ARION a good share of his time to the teach ing of this language. As at some oth er institutions he should offer also courses in Russian history and civili zation, which at present is outside the range of our department. Russian is a language gramatically as complicated and difficult to learn as Greek or Latin, and only the serious student with aptitude and a real in terest in the language can make pro gress, which at best is wearisome and slow. The student soon finds that Rus sian, although remotely related to the cultural languages of Europe, has lit tle in common with them except in, grammatical structure. The fact that Russian is not a "crip course" is per haps the main reason why it has not made greater progress here. How ever, in spite of the small degree of interest shown hitherto, we are of the j opinion that the student body of a great university should realize that some knowledge of Russia is a neces sary adjunct to a knowledge of the world today and will be for the future also. Sincerely yours, RICHARD JENTE Head of the Depart ment of German Whose Fault? Carolina Merry-Go-Round By Bob Jones Notice to new students: You can be happy and barbaric. We are tellinj you this because in your dormitories and in your newspapers you have seen many solemn announcements about rushing rules, interfraternity council rules, intra-sorority rulings. You have seen that the Dean of Women and the Dean of Men take a role in the rushing business. You may think fraternities and sororities ,re the very essence of 8- life at . Chapel Hill. Nobody, that we have noticed, has said a word about the barbarian's lot. Mind you, we hold- no brief against fraternities. They can be, and here at Carolina often are, pleasant and worthwhile, But to those of you who came here to learn and share in the life of Cha pel Hill who now wonder whether it is possible to share in this life outside of a fraternity we, tell you it is possible. The fraternities- hold no key to the mystery of books and learning. Learning should be the deep exper ience, the stimulating process, you seek at Carolina. It is an individual experience. Friendships that are fun, friendships that are lasting you look for, but they too you seek alone. You veterans know how friendships leaped national, racial, language bar riers when you were overseas. True, you meet and casually come to know people of your own ilk in fraternities but no matter who you are there is someone nearly enough like you and enough, unlike you on this campus worthy to be your friend. Surely if the fraternities are not actually vicious, the barrier exist ing between a barbarian and a fra ternity man can be hurdled, and fraternities at Chapel Hill are sel dom vicious. Last of all let us re mind you, though you see no an nouncements (because it is news to no one except possibly those new to Carolina) that only a minority of students belong to fraternities or sororities. If you should find that you can't afford a fraternity, that no frater nity or sorority gives you a bid, or! Lthat you don't feel like joining one, you do not stand alone and by no means will you miss the vital core of life at Carolina. ! v I eepmq i aos .... with Randy Russian at UNC atto Ear Heel The official newspaper of the Publication Boeurd of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, where it in published daily, except Mondays, examination and vacation periods ; during the official summer terms, it is published semi-weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

FOR THIS ISSUE Night Editor: Bill Sexton Spouts: Irwin Smallwood Dear Sir: The writer of the editorial "Curri culum Expansion" in the DTH of Sun day, Oct. 13, who advocates the intro duction of Russian, is apparently un aware that Russian has been offered here by Dr. George S. Lane of the De partment of German for the past four years. The first class met in the spring of 1942. About twenty students en rolled, including several auditors and special students. Only a few of these had the interest or ability to carry on to the end of the quarter. The course has been on the schedule repeatedly since then, but with ever decreasing numbers. Last year a class of six stu dents finished two quarters. Dr. Lane, a man of unusually broad linguistic training and a capable teacher of Rus sian, has usually offered this course over and above his regular teaching load. , The reason why Russian . was not scheduled this quarter is the little in terest shown in 'the past and also the fact that with our limited staff we now have to cater to the greater num ber of students who have elcted Ger man. However, we do not give up hope that an interest of sufficient numbers may still be aroused among our stu dent body, and in my budget requests Dear Sir, Twice in four days I've seen edi torials in the Daily Tar Heel dealing with school spirit. Each time the blame for the absence of school spirit this year at Carolina has been laid on the head cheerleader and his assis tants. Has this blame been rightly placed? You were right when you said that everyone admitted that the cheering was unorganized for our first football weekend. The cheerleaders were the first to admit that. But everyone makes a few mistakes. Even the football team made a few that after noon. Remember ? A long time ago it was realized that one man could not train a group of cheerleaders, teach a student body yells, arrange the details for pep raK lies, home-comings, etc., and attend to all the other things that go with being head cheerleader. Were not Rameses housebroken the head cheer leader would probably have another job at the Memorial Hall pep rallies There is an organization which was created to lift the burden from the head cheerleader. This organization is the University Club and its purpose is very definite. It is a good thing for the team to feel that the student spirit is be hind them. It's another good thing when the cheerleaders feel that some one is behind them with something besides a pitchfork. In 1942 there was publicity for the cheerleaders, but it was of a different type. I recall one issue of the DTH that ran a story on - the cheering squad, its aims, and the individuals making up the squad. It appeared to me a very effective way to bring the two groups, the cheering squad and the student body, closer together, thereby engendering school spirit. There was no attitude of "Show us something, we're sitting here waiting," but rather an attitude of cooperation. After the first game of the season I talked to quite a few hoarse and In This . . . . : Poet's .... . . . . Corner MUSIC IN THE LAND Oh. . . . there is music in the land Though not composed by mortal hand; 1 hear its strains in the mountain breeze As it brushes past the lofty trees; I hear it in the soft caress Of rain that falls with tenderness, Upon each nodding flower. Oh the music. . .in every living hourl Far from the reach of eye or ear The earth' 's sweet song is ever near; I dare not think what this world would be Without the ever-present symphony, Bestowed on man. . .what'ere his lot; There is always music. . .where we think it not. JINX HELM Granted, we were all pretty weary. But let's get this thing straight. Who's letting who down?

Hey, did you know that we are such cussedly polite people in America that the Western Union company estimates Americans spend over $10,000,000 a year just to say "please," in telegrams? In a recent nation-wide independent survey, Dromedaries were asked this question: "Who do you prefer to have riding on you?" Overwhelmingly, the majority of the 789,987 Dromedaries who answered the survey reported DOCTORS! ! So take your D-Zone into the Ozone. Remember, among Dromedaries, in dependent Dromedary drivers, and with Sphinxes who know Dromedaries best; it's Doctors, two-to-one. Dro medaries prefer Doctors, two-to-one. Most Doctors are so round, so firm, so fully packed in the mid dle. So, remember, if your Doctor looks different lately; take him for a ride on a Dromedary.. Because Dromedaries offer proof positive that one hump is better than two. And, incidentally, with all this "proof positive" typeof English go ing around am I soon gonna hafta start wishing people a Christmas Merry. . .or a New Year Happy. . . or a Birthday Happy. . .or Mary Jane for a date dinner? That's silly, who ever heard of eating dates for dinner ? Jane Russel has been recently dub bed "Miss Block-Buster of 1945."
