THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1946 Page Two THE DAILY TAR HEEL A Full, Firm Step Tonight the Student Legislature will be presented a petition from the heads of all campus organizations that will merit the most serious consideration, for the Legislature's decision will determine this University's desire for cooperation with other colleges throughout the entire United States. That petition con cerns the sending of delegates to a conference in Chicago for the purpose of establishing in the United States a national or ganization of students similar to those organizations now exist ing in many foreign countries. The University of North Carolina has been invited to send three delegates to the conference in addition to host delegate Jimmy Wallace. At a meeting held Monday, the heads of the campus organizations agreed that Carolina should participate, and fourteen of the seventeen organizations concurred that the full quota of four delegates should be sent. However, it was pointed out that campus organizations could not decide the who, when, what, and how of participation. That decision must come from the Student Legislature. Before the Legislature makes that decision, it should fully realize the im portance of such an organization. There has long been a definite need for a national student organization in the United States. Three times before an effort has been made to establish such an organization, but each one failed for lack of a good foundation. This time the effort must not fail. A strong student organization fighting for student government, student exchange, and student freedom can do much to elevate the status of the colleges from the quagmire, into which many have fallen. Too long the word 'student has been enclosed in quotation marks in our newspapers, signifying homo sapien without intellect. In foreign countries where na tional student organizations are active England, for example the University students constitute a vital segment of the na tion, one held in high esteem. Through such an organization in the United States, the same results can be attained here. Should the Legislature decide that Carolina will participate in the Chicago conference and there should be no question but what we should the full quota of four men should be sent to give us a truly representative group. Only a myopic can fail to perceive the significance of the conference, and in this deci sion let us not be myopic. For many years Carolina has been recognized as the outstanding university of the South, one that sets the example for all Southern schools. This time will be no exception. If we are to participate in the establishment of a national student organization, let us not be reticent, but rather let us take a full, firm step in laying its foundation by sending our entire quota of four men. ft Washington Merry-Go-Round By Drew Pearson TRUMAN EATS SOUTH CAROLINA TURKEY; MARGARET TRUMAN STUDIES FOR OPERA; MANY FOOD ITEMS WILL CONTINUE SHORT FOR YEAR OR MORE. Washington. The President's Thanksgiving dinner will have a Dixie accent as far as the main course is concerned. The White House turkey is a present from Wilton E. Hall, Anderson, S. C, publisher, who served as a 1944 short-term colleague of Harry Truman in the Senate. The turkey is a 35-pound bronze, .broad-breasted gobbler raised for the Presidential table on Hall's farm near Anderson. It was fed on soybeans, which, South Carolinians maintain, have it all over corn and other turkey feeds. The presentation was made to y ' Coot. 14 by VmM Ffcir Syndic.

Columnist Invades Temple Of Major Literary Society By Tookie Hodgson Intrigued by the recent controversy which raged between a Daily Tar Heel columnist and the potentates of the major literary societies in this campus, I at once determined, in the somnolent quiet of an early morning class, to personally examine and document for. the general reader's edification and enjoyment, a typical session of a rather typical literary society. Acting f orth- rightly in this; as indeed, I do in all such matters, I journeyed, one fine night last 'week, to the Imperial Temple of the Most Noble and Highly Intellec tural Apoplectic Debating, Literary, and Gold Fish Fancier's Society.

Perhaps we should say something usual will not happen. No copies of The Daily Tar Heel will find their way to your breakfast tables. For the first time since we have resumed operating on a six-days-a-week basis, no paper will be published on a day it would normally appear. Today is Thanksgiving. Although the University stubbornly refuses to recognize it as such, the management of the Orange Printshop, where the DTH is printed, is in line with the rest of the state and country and is giving its employees a holiday, which means no paper tomorrow. Which means the members of the DTH staff likewise will have a partial-holiday. Of course, classes are continuing unabated. We, too, believe in observing Thanksgiving. Our next issue will appear Saturday.

FOR THIS ISSUE Night Editob: Barron Mills Sposts: Jim Pharr pigeon cote atop one our older build ings, I found the various members of the Apoplectic (as it is familiar ly known to its adherents) assem bled, and in the act of opening the meeting. Rapidan Bopsboodle, the Speaker Pro Tempore and Reductio Ad Absur dum, began to call the meeting to order. "Members of the Apoplectic," quoth Rapidan, "We are hereby assembled here by the Sergeant-at-Arms to here by hear whatever there is to hear by one of our most distinguished members, Clarion-Call McGuire, the Nightingale of the Nostrils. Brother McGuire, who is known far and wide for his remarkable speech on "Re solved: There is a Santa Claus" will regale you, one and all, with a brief description of the various types of oratory now in vogue among campus speakers. Brother McGuire, the floor is yours!" At this point, however, Wolfgang Redneck, the prominent parliamen tarian arose from his seat, crying, "I move we move the previous ques tion. Brother Clarion-Call McGuire is all out of order, and I think we I should nut him in order! Whv we haven't even challenged you, yet, Speaker Bopsboodle! Do you yield, or should I get a quorum to filibus ter you right back to the affirm ative and make you rebutt the pre vious question, I so move?" Whereupon, the entire Apoplectic membership fell into a dither and copies of "Roberts Rules of Order" were flipped open everywhere. After an hour or so of intense controversy it was finally agreed that the only thing to do in such appalling un-par-liamentary circumstances, was to heave Brother Wolfgang Redneck out on his ear. This was accordingly done, and one more Brother Clarion-Call McGuire, the' Songbird of the Sinus, mounted the rostrum. "Sic semper tyrannis," began Clar ion-Call adjusting his toga, "Quo us que tandem abutere Catalina, patentia nostra? Habeus Corpus et lux et I Veritas ? Circienses et panis. Bona bona, bonus. Ego amo te!" "Goody," shrieked a female Apop lectic, "Clarion-Call is speaking in Latin 0! Mr. McGuire!" What did you just say?" With a benevolent air, Clarion-Cal turned to his charming interrogator, and spoke. " 'What this country needs is a good five-cent seegar!' But no more interruptions, please! Let me proceed with my discussion of the various types oi puonc ' speaKmgs. First, let's say a word about the Bilbo Bellow. This is an extremely effective form of address. Simply suck in air for seven minutes, place a tuba mouthpiece between your lips, think of the fcune of "Dixie," then blow. The resultant sound resembles that of a paper bag being burst under your Student Government Topics By Tom Eller Despite all the competition he re- ceived from Banquets, Conferences, Pep Rallies, and Scholastics last week, Charlie Warren and his Legis lature ground out several bills worthy of any law making body. The bill to set up a Commission to remedially study traffic problems and regulations on the campus was the culmination of a great deal of hard work on the part of the Speaker. Be coming aware of the problem, he set up a committee to study it. John Sur ratt effectively piloted the committee and brought back a bill to make of fenses punishable by the Honor Coun cil. . . . Didn't look too good and didn't smell too good to Warren. He won- Truman a day or two before Thanks giving by Senator Olin Johnston of South Carolina and his secretaries, Roy A. Powell and Baxter Funder burk. But the festive bird, already dressed and packed in dry ice, pre ceded them to the White House. "I've already seen it," grinned Tru man. "We couldn't wait to open it." After pictures were made, the Pres ident directed an assistant to take the turkey down to the White House cold storage room. "And be sure to handle that bird carefully," he cautioned, as an after thought. RHODE ISLAND TURKEYS Previous Presidents have picked their Thanksgiving turkeys from var ious narts of the USA. President Roosevelt usually received his bird from a fancier in Rhode Island, who liked to demonstrate that, of the six standard varieties of domesticated American turkey bronze, Narragan sett, buff, slate, white, and black the bronze and Narragansett are the largest. Senator Ollie James of Kentucky, on the other hand, insisted that Rhode Island turkeys could not compare with those from the Blue Grass State, and used to send a large Kentucky bird to Woodrow Wilson. Senator Alben Barkley agrees with this and swears by the turkeys raised by John H Perry, Kentucky-Florida publisher. President Taft always got his tur keys from Tazewell. County, Virginia, from which Queen Victoria also re ear. It's most effective when you are addressing either hippopotami or Mis sissippi pool players." "The second type of oratory I wish to propound is know . as the Taft Tumor. To master this style, you must eat nineteen lemons, ac quire a stomach ulcer, and talk through the derby hat belonging to the president of the U. S. Steel Company. This type of speech goes over best with Westbrook Pegler, Colonel McCormick, and the own ers of Alka-Seltzer. Finally, 1 am going to say a few words about the "McKellar Mumble." This is an extremely difficult manner of delivery to master. First off, you must attend 'The Sign of the Cross' once a day for a year. Then, you must eat regularly at Lenoir for one week After this you should get an eight o'clock class in Hygiene. To top all this off, you must run about thirty miles a day around the track at Ken an Stadium. By this time you won't give a damn about anything, and con sequently, you'll mumble naturally. This form of speaking is employ ed by professors everywhere. Each syllable should, if possible be punc tuated by a nice, round "uh." This little adornment lends a final touch of inconsequence to whatever you are saying." ,t Thus concluding, Brother Clarion Call McGuire took his seat amidst thunderous applause. , At the same time, Speaker Rapidan Boopsboodle mounted the rostrum in order to bring the meeting to close. "Next week," quoth Rapidan, "The subject of debate will be: "Resolved: No other cigarette can make that statement. Meeting adjourned!" We all adjourned. Some to the lib rary, some to uanzigers, and I to my paper dolls. dered what kept the municipal offi cials from enforcing John's sugges tions. Looks like he is getting results after repeatedly conferring with South Building and the City Hall in an effort to get something started. Some of the things he ran into were a lack of paint for painting pedes trian zones. The city didn't have any paint and swore they couldn't get any. Another thing Charlie and John un covered was the fact that there were hardly any enforcible regulations on the campus. They also found that outsiders and towns-people were more careless, according to the record books, than students. Another bill which will be praised in some quarters and cussed in oth ers is the bill to control soliciting campaigns. This bill would set up a committee to determine the wor thiness of fund-raising campaigns and put them on a subscription basis similar to the one on which the Y.M.C.A. operates. Another important bill was one which designates the student body President the authority to fill vacan cies to elective offices from the Stu dent Council right down through the Legislature. Here's the agenda for to-night. If you don't agree with the object of a bill, see your representative; or, better still, come to Gerrard and hear it discussed at 7:30. You may be granted the privilege of the ceived turkeys every year during her reign. When Franklin Roosevelt celebrat ed Thanksgiving in Warm Springs which he preferred to the White Hou the turkeys were native Georgians. Five birds were necessary to satisfy the appetites of all the youngsters at Warm Springs. The late President himself carved the first turkey, sur rounded by twelve boys and girls who drew lots to see who would sit near est him. HEADACHE DAY For about one hundred years, Thanksgiving in the White House was no day on which to give thanks. It was a day for grousing and drudgery the day on which the President got ready to welcome the lame duck Congress. "Welcome," how- i x ever, was not tne appropriate word. Returning to Washington after elections, and with a short do-nothing session ahead, defeated Congressmen let off a series of speeches which meant nothing but headaches for the man in the White House. And the his tory of Thanksgiving Day up until 1933 shows that the President usual ly spent the day writing his message to Congress. Senator Norris' lame duck amend ment abolishing this short session of Congress changed all that. But now, in a sense, Harry Truman has almost as many headaches on his hands as in the old pre-Norris days. For, while Congress is not in ses sion, he has to put up with the Re publicans conspiring right under his nose to pull the rug from under him at the next Congress. And on top of that there is the coal strike and beetle browed John L. Lewis! But then, who was it who thought up Thanksgiving as a national holi day, anyway? Not Mr. Truman's Democrats. They were dead set against it. Thanksgiving was a Northern, New England holiday, and back in the early days the Demo crats claimed the noriherners were exercising undue Federal power and trampling on states' rights by mak ing them celebrate Thanksgiving. So Thanksgiving Day did not really become much of a holiday in Wash ington Until around 1945. Then it was the Merchants of Washington, who. seeing a chance to sell extra groceries, got busy with advertisements of champagne by recent packet from New York via Alexandria" and really put across Thanksgiving Day in the Nation s Capital. floor by any legislator and they'll be glad to do it.
