Reorganize Classes
Again another academic year begins at the University with
out the presence of an organized class system. Only a select few
in South Building have any idea about just who is in what class.
Now it may appear that it makes little difference whether classes
are organized or not. We grant there are many special students
and that the job of organizing the classes to pre-war standards
is a vast undertaking, but the need is even greater if the college
ever expects to resume its pre-war completeness.
Here are a few of the reasons why the class structure should
be again instituted as an integral part of Carolina's govern
ment system : One the yearbook has to charge each senior who
has his picture in the book $4.50, a great per. cent of this goes for
engraving, and portion for the actual print of the picture. In
other words unit cost is much higher for seniors desiring repre
sentation in the yearbook.
Under the class system a fee could be levied at much lower
cost per individual student. As it now stands a student pays a
publication fee, which partly covers the expense of publishing
the yearbook, plus a couple of bucks if he wants representation.
In the long run the total expense of the book per individual runs
into a nice sum of money.
Two Student government cannot expect to operate at maxi
mum efficiency over the entire student body as one unit. If the
student body were broken down into four separate units, the
problems of student government administration would become
easier. Potential student leaders in campus government and pub
lications could be trained better under the class system.
Three Competition which the class system affords would
bring a closer spirit. Handling the student body with facility
would come, by the operation of a class system.
Four Students would like to know what class they are in be
cause one of the highlights of post-college life are class reunions.'
Under the class structure students would be able to know their
classmates better.
So far there have been no announcements about organization
of the classes. Last year the editors of the Yackety Yack tried
to organize the classes so that all could be represented. They
were successful in handling only the junior and senior classes.
The yearbook staff has enough to do to publish the book without
having to organize classes. Must we continue to operate under a
lethargic system. It virtually amounts to half-way doing nothing
as it now stands. Class organization seems a must, unless some
better way is suggested.

Scribe Interviews Denizens
Of Danziger's Gay Patisserie
By Tookie Hodgson
One day last week, having- nothing else to do but study, and being; quite
unwilling to do that, and thus be acclaimed a colossal boor by the entire
student body of our ancient institution, I decided to drop, in at Ilerr Dan
ziger's gay patisserie and see how the habitues of that most worthy swer-t
shoppe were faring. Therefore, without further ado, I climbed aboard ir.y
tugboat, "Talulah Lou," and in a few moments, was proceeding briskly over
the turpid flood of water, sometimes known as Franklin Street, towards ir.j
predetermined destination.
Docking at the Danziger private p
wharf, I shed my foulweather gear, 0f wearing as a novel sort of costu...o
and entered the store's threshold.
Inside, I found the usual array of
good things to eat and smiling pro
prietors, but "having my forthcom"
mg interview ever-present m my
mind, I was forced to reluctantly
ignore the goodies and their aff
able dispensors. Rather, it was the
glim, aesthetic, young gentlemen
talking most earnestly to their
quite socially-conscious female com
panions, which first held my attention.
'Just think, kid some day YOU'LL be old enough to take the wheel."
Keeping Tabs
.... with Randy
Heed This Plea
Today's the big day. Approximately 2000 Carolina students
are making a mass exodus from Chapel Hill to follow the Tar
Heel football team to Baltimore for the Navy clash.
The .spirit demonstrated by the large size of the caravan is
praiseworthy. The week-end should be a successful one all the
way around, but this is certainly the time and place to sound one
big warning note.
DRIVE SAFELY. We can't impress those words upon you
enough. One injury or death can turn the glorious week-end into
a tragic affair. From past experiences we know that students
are apt to let their enthusiasm run away with them on such
trips, even behind the wheel of a car.
DRIVE SAFELY. Already this fall, four University of Vir
ginia students have been killed in automobile accidents. With
more students than ever before on the roads with more cars,
every precaution must be taken in the way of highway safety.
A safety council is in the process of formation here on the
campus now. The DTH has been and is strongly behind such a
move, for stringent safety rules must be imposed and enforced
on this campus to the nth degree. Student drivers must slow
down and exercise more caution.
But our present concern is the trip to Baltimore. The majority
of Carolina students are going by car. We all want to enjoy a
wonderful week-end. A little care will go a long ways towards
avoiding tragedies we shall regret forever.
Heed our simple plea DRIVE SAFELY.

" " FOR THIS ISSUE
Night Editor: Barron Mills Sports: Bob Goldwater
Look, maybe I'm an old codger and
maybe I'm living in days of the past
around here. I've seen many things
go by the boards which Carolina
students of pre-war days held dear
and near. But, one thing that is ab
solutely repulsive to me and ."2 re'c
of the "Olde-Tyme" Carolina stud
ents is to see letters in the Daily Tar
Heel and to hear talk around the
campus about "disregarding .the hon
or system" and abandoning it be
cause "it just doesn't work, anyhow."
My answer to that type of thinking
and that type of reasoning is "Gen
tlemen and ladies, you are off your
noggin!"
In my opinion, anyone who thinks
the honor system cannot be made
to work is not the type of neighbor
I'd like to have in my community. 1
And, I wouldn't want him in my
community simply because they
haven't yet devised a burglar-proof
house, or a pick-proof lock. The
type of guy or gal who is so damn
ed sure the honor system cannot be
made to work is just the type of guy
or gal that might take advantage
of that little lack of protection to
relieve me of the burden of carry
ing around some cash, or eating
with nasty old family silver.
Mr. Bell Arion, in his letter to the
DTH says that most of his friends
are reluctant to be their "brother's
keeper." Granted. But, let's begin at
the beginning. In the first place, Mr.
Arion, you and your friends have no
choice. If you'll think back to the joy
ful moments when you filled out your
application to Carolina you might re
member that you swore on. your honor
that (1) you understood the Honor
system, and (2) you promised to
abide by it. Mr. Arion, you and every
other Carolina student signed their
name to that pledge when you applied
for admission. If you didn't, you
wouldn't be up here.
You see, Mr. Arion, considering
one's self his "brother's keeper," and
the inherent meaning and spirit of
the honor system are about as far
apart as the two poles. Simply stated
sir, the honor system is a set of rules
which we have adopted to govern our
selves at Carolina. If you don't like
to live and play under those rules,
go find yourself another sandpile.
You have already agreed to live un
der them, and signed your honorable
name to that agreement.
The Honor code is not a code
which has been imposed on the
students by the faculty. It is a code
worked out by long and hard efforts
on behalf of the thousands of stud
ents who were here before you,
Mr. Arion. Those students believed
that in order to prove to the faculty
and the world that we are big girls
and boys and can govern ourselves
and obey the elements of a simple
method of living; we must maintain
certain standards.
It is false to think that if a student
cheats "he is not hurting you." He is
hurting you, Mr. Arion, simply be
cause his cheating is a direct reflec
tion on your ability to live in a civil
ized community under a set of fair
rules; not imposed from above but
from the feelings and sentiments of
your fellows. If you want to go back
to the jungle of snooping professors
watching your every step like your
grade school and high school teach
ers did. . .well then, simply follow
your present line of reasoning.
But, like I say, maybe I'm an old

Today's question
Do you think the city should have
prohibited the sale of beer on Sunday?
.The answers
No, it's no more harm to drink
beer on Sundays than it is on any
other day. Howard Bailey, Chad-
bourn.
No, I see no' harm in selling beer
on Sunday. If a person is going to
drink beer he doesn't care what day
it is, he is going to drink it anyway
Ralph Gorrell, Greensboro.
I favor a broad outlook on the
question. Even tho I am uninterested
I think that Chapel Hill should keep
certain dignities. If these dignities
are observed I see no reason for the
city's action. Charles Warren, Wash
ington. If some people enjoy drinking beer
on Sunday and have the means to
pay for it, I see no reason why the
city should prohibit the sale of beer
at any time. (Some people can't get
along without it. Peggy Pierce,
Warsaw.
I see no wrong in drinking beer on
Sunday, but it should be done so as
not to cause any undue disturbances.
Mary Moore, Lumbertoru
I don't like the stuff so it doesn't
affect me but I guess there are lots
of people who do. If these people
don't drink beer they'll drink some
thing else. Prohibition never has
worked and it never will. Kaki Pace

ernmental force," "Long live the In
ternational Soviet!" and "Stalin for
president in '48." '
Although most of these charming
people were unknown to. me, I had
the erood fortune to glimpse at a
table in a far corner, a trio of such
artistic and intellectual talents as
have never before been seen on this
campus. The awesome threesome were
none other than Willy E. Clung, far
famed for his pungent remarks con
cerning Beethoven, the Campus Con
stitution, and a place called Prague,
Czechoslovakia, Histrionicus O'Leary,
the noted thespian, who recently por
trayed the rear end of a horse in the
Playmaker's stirring rendition of that
famous drama, "East Lynne," which
scored two consecutive nights in Cha-
of an elm," solemnly replied the great
politician.
"Well, now," I answered, "that is
news. sut ten me, wr. -,iung, are
you engaged in politicking this Fall?"
"Yes, my naive friend, I am" an
swered Willy, the magnanimous.
"I believe I am the perfect leader
to extricate the campus from its
post-war dilemmas. As you know,
the students around here cannot
get decent food, living quarters, or
clothing. With one bold stroke I
cannot only secure those necessi
ties for them, but also give them
the advantages of learning a trade,
travel, and retirement after 30
years. Truly, my plan seems foolproof."
"But sir," I replied in an agitated
pel Hill, thereby setting a record for manner, "I don't think that's going
codger. Or, maybe I'm sure the" Honor
system can work stems from the fact
that I've been around here long
enough to have seen it work. And,
seeing, is believing.
that sort of thing; and last but not
least, petite Nostalthia Mugwump,
that fairest flower of free thought,
and co-author of a forthcoming novel
to be entitled, "So Red, The Wind
Blows," or "Nothing But Nihilism."
At the kind invitation of these
three charming people, I sat down
at their table and with a delicate
flourish of my lace handkerchief
perfumed for the grand event I
ordered a cup of tea especially brew
ed with Arabian Rose Water. Then
I lit my ten inch gold tip Turkish
cigarette and placed it in a two
foot platinum holder also procur
ed for this interview and with an
air of bemused nonchalance, which
well suited the delicate sensibili
ties of my companions, blew deli
cate smoke rings into the rarefied
ozone of the room.
"Tell me, friends," I queried, "What
are we discussing today?"
"L'homme est bon," replied Mr.
Clung.
'I beg your pardon!", I answered.
'Oh, Willy has decided to speak
nothing but French today. However,
I think hell be willing to converse in
English, considering that you are our
quest, and that you would probably
lke to know what the hell's going
on around here," quoth Nastalthia
giving her polylingual chum a few
friendly blows with the hammer and
the sickle which she was in the habit
to go over here very well. I have
guessed your proposition, and even
in French, it doesn't sound any bet
ter."
"Ah Hah!" said Willy, "I have a
strategem. We'll start a line offer
ing free tickets to the Dook game,
and unwittingly will the war wearies
fall for our subtle ruse."
"Tell me," I exclaimed, exasperated
beyond reason, "why do you want to
perpetrate such a foul deed upon
your fellow students?"
"I'll tell you," cried Nastalthia
rising to her feet, and raining
blows on friend Clung's noble cran
ium. "It's because the ratio of men
and women here is six to one. Willy
wants to get all the men off the
campus so the women will be 1000
to his one! A'int that just like a
man, though!"
"Flutter, flutter" said Histrionicus,
shaking imaginary leaves off his head.
"Goodbye," I said, dashing aboard

Well, Gentlemen . . .
To the Editor:
There has been a lot written in the
Daily Tar Heel lately about these
poor dateless Carolina 'Gentlemen.'
I have a complaint to make about this.
I don't know if you realize it but there
are a lot of coeds on this campus whose
dates are few and far between. It
has been said that even 'Lena' could
get a date on this campus. I DON'T
BELIEVE IT.
Speaking for myself, I know I'm no
ravishing beauty, but neither am I
ugly. I may not have a sparkling per
sonality, but I'm no 'drip.' If these
boys want dates so badly why don't
they look around a little more?
I am writing this anonymously be
cause I have too much pride to an
nounce publicly that I can't get a man.
But ... I just want to let you know
that I am sick and disgusted with this
complaining . . . when here I sit ...
