But University occasionally. Yet he narticular the wives was sincere when he said he A a iWiVt viivv aa'v- - o X X of the G. I. students in our colleges. These girls would pro bably be amazed to hear anyone refer to them as heroic. Where is the heroism in doing the thing that you have chosen for yourself? And they would be right, but you may form your own opinion of that. Heroic or not, they have shown that they are of the same stock as their grandmothers who were willing to face the uncertainty of new frontiers with their husbands. ' True, the G. I. wife dosn't have to plow, chop wood or fight Indians. But you can find her cooking, washing clothes, keeping house, and calling out Spanish vocabularies, or listening to economic theories. All this is in addition to hold ing down a full-time job and perhaps caring for a couple of children. If she isn't working full-time herself, she has the even more perplexing job of trying to make that subsis tence check last through the month. Chances are you can also find her re-typing a theme or term paper, when she finishes the wash. : The Germans took us for a nation of softies, a mistake they might not have made if they could have seen the G. I. wives pitch in and help get tneir men tnrough college. Women with the strength and conviction of these could hardly; have been born of weaklinp, and it doesn't seem likely that they will bear any weakling children. So long as we have wives and mothers liko them, we need have little worry about our country's future t The generation of G. I. students will be able to say, with out affectation or fear of contradiction, "I owe it all to my wife." ' Grant Dunnagan 1 Students Display Fine Spirit '. Carolina's football team has played three games at home thus far, and after each of these contests we have heard stu dents from the opposing school voice praise of the fine spirit and cheering which the Tar Heel students displayed in sup- porting their team. Head Cheerleader Norm Sper and his assistants have done a wonderful job in organizing the cheer ing, and of equal importance is the fine pooperation which the students have given him in the yells and card stunts. There are, of course, a certain number of students who do not participate in the organized cheering, perhaps think ing it's rather silly. However, any member of the football I team will tell you that having a loyal student body in the stands does much to bolstev the team's spirit. On occasions, a partisan home crowd is a major factor in determining the outcome of a game. Moreover, football games, when there are 44,000 fans present, are the best place in which to display the student body's fine school spirit. The sportsmanship of the students when a player on the opposing team has been hurt also rates an A. This spirit is in sharp contrast to that displayed by the Georgia students during the Georgia-Carolina game earlier. The Bulldog fans shouted enthusiastically every time a Carolina player was hurt. , " Each week the. cheering section has matched, the fine performance of the football Jeam on the field. Together they form an unbeatable combination. Get 'Em off the Tables Many hoary and venerable Carolina traditions have been done away with recently, including that of having clean tables at Lenoir Hall. Due to the skeleton crew of busboys now employed by the campus beancry, such a luxury isn't often available any more. il There is nothing more gratifying about a meal, aside from the food itself, than sanitary and unlittered surroundings in was after a Ph.D. . .- m That was in .1945. During the next two years he was able to get most of his make up work and general college requirements out of the way. As he went along he look spec- ' ial examinations which en abled him to. pass over some courses. By the third year his , grades were close to Phi Beta Kappa and his faculty adviser praised his remarkable prog ress. So, this former truck driver, without benefit of a high school education, is enrolled in the sen ior class this fall and he will graduate with the Class of 1950 next June. . This is one of the many suc cess stories F. Carlyle Shepard, Veterans Adviser in the Univer sity, likes to tell to illustrate the fine record which veterans of World War II have made and are continuing to make in Chapel Hill. There are 3,320 men and 74 women enrolled here for the fall quarter who served at some time during the war, and they make up about 45 percent of the total enrollment of 7,519 stu dents. . Many people, including some college officials were afraid that . the veterans were going to lower scholastic standards when the government passed the GI Bill in 1944," Mr. Shepard said. "But they have done quite the op posite. Maturity and their sense of responsibility have paid off .handsomely." More than 16,000 men and women have attended Carolina on their GI benefits and during the peak years 1946-47, they comprised almost 70 . percent of the student enrollment: ' '"And we did not in any way lower our entrance requirements," Mr. Shepard emphasized. The per centage is dropping now (1949 veteran enrollment is down 12 percent from 1948) and it is believed that by the. fall of 1952, there will be very few ex-service men in the freshman class. The graduate schools here ; have a large veterans enroll ment, however, with some 700 ': ex-service men and women taking courses. The total en rollment in these sections of the University, is 1,105. or about 45 percent veteran. "Some of them hold back on their GI funds for future" use, others exhaust their eligibility before completing the require ments for a degree. And, of course, we handle many transfer students, so it is difficult to get an accurate picture of just how the veteran situation stands at any given time. We are, how ever, quite pleased with the very important role the veterans have takn in the life of the Univer sity during the past six years," he said. t Certainly no man in Chapel Hill is more familar with or better qualified to speak on the veterans' accomplishments than F, Carlyle Shepard. A veteran "1 ' HAW . m DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND This 'n That O ff To The Races By Bill Buchan or as likely to make people as mad as Cherry's and Frei stadts' material, but it must certainly be of more interest to the majority of the student body. Well, I reckon things are really back to normal again af ter all. Our boy, Hans, has finally given up the ghost and written another, letter to the editor 'and three residents of the quonset huts have replied, so we're off to the races. Last Sprjng, Hans informed members of Congress thai his professors had suggested that he refrain. from writing so many should be published. Maybe if letters and pay more attention we' 'poor ole capitalistic souls to his work. Thus far, we thought just ignored Hans, he' wouldn't elude meetings ' of the Ku Klux Klan, the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and other organizations included on the Justice Depart ments' list of supposed subvers ive organizations. There is an unwritten law, however, which says that if a fella( takes the time to write a fettef- to the editor, then it (and hoped) that he was obey ing that suggestion. What are we to believe now? Last year, as old students know so well. Hans and J. R.' waged a year-long battle to see who could write the most letters. At times, a letter from each of them would arrive in the 1 o'clock mail and another would appear in the 6 o'clock edition. Actually, they came mighty near to monopolizing the editorial page. And when they do things like that, folks like this individual, Tom Wharton, Kellam. Shropshire, Locklair, Stump and others : will be pushed aside. Maybe our stuff isn't as sensational bother to write, too .often. Everyone, except mis corner, lfias probably known about it ; alid&long, but I was surprised to'le'arn the other day that stu- 'teU3 in the Naval ROTC pro are required to take a. ; KyirPtM oath to the US. That iiPirot surprising, inasmuch as tne are serving in our armed forced, but me adcre-ct laws to the ' feafti1 did surprise me. One stu dent informed me this week that after he had taken the oath, he asked some official if he could, attend the Karl Marx Literary society meetings. "No," the man replied, "if you do,, you'd be guilty of perjury by oath." The man went on to in- That brings another thought to mind.. While the loyalty oath, which employees of the : University must sign has its pros and cons, and whilerthis corner isn't saying which way ' . he thinks, a story of an 'in structor who lost his job re cently might be interesting.- The person, described by friends as a staunch conserva tive, could not see his way clear to " sign the oath. As a ' result, he lost his job because it was time for him to renew his con tract. The guy is a terrific per son, married and the father of four children the youngest of which was born several weeks ago. While employed as a teach er, he was working on his Ph.D. It seems a shame or a quirk of circumstance that he should lose his job because he didn't believe in being forced to sign an oath, but yet probably de tests the Communists even more. WASHINGTON. Last year, the "80th Congress investigated an Army propaganda mill which used taxpayers' money to sell the American public on military conscription; while Senator Byrd of Virginia also criticized any branch of the government that issued a press handout pub licizing its operation. But today there operates back stage in the Navy, a secret pub licity bureau almost solely ded icated to smearing the Army and Air Forces and disrupting uni fication. The publicity bureau is call ed "Operation 23" and it con sists of 12 officers and 17 en listed men, all on regular duty and officially assigned io this detail. The detail is command ed by a full-fledged naval cap tain. Capt. Arliegh Burke, with Commander Thomas Davies second in command. This underground unit takes orders chiefly from Admiral Ar thur Radford, outspoken critic of the B-36. Significantly, operation 23 has been flooding newspapers with anti-Army propaganda at the time an official naval board lias been investigating another Navy smear the secret memo which claimed that Secretaries Sym ington and Johnson ordered the B-36 because of personal or monetary gain. This vicious myth, now com pletely exploded, was written by .Cedric Worth, a civilian naval employe or at least he assumed responsibility. Worth, it now develops, was a part of Operation 23. And even before the board of admirals had finish ed its probe of the Worth smear, more propaganda began flood ing the newspapers some of it senk through the medium of Naval Reserve Capt. James Stahlman, publisher of the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner. Note one member of Opera tion 23 is Lt.' Sam Ingram, a naval reservist. Ingram reported for two weeks' active duty one year ago, wrote Admiral Rad ford to drop in for a personal visit. The visit lasted two hours, and Lt. Ingram has been on per manent duty turning out car toons ; and charts against the Air.F,6rce ever since. His salary for that: year of sniping at an other1 branch of the armed ser vices1 was paid for by the tax payer.

Too often, the diners themselves have to set their trays down amid the debris of a previous person's meal and move the dirty dishes to one of the numerous tables nearby. We heartily recommend that the management of Lenoir Hall double their staff of hus boys. Certainly there are plenty of fellows who want the new jobs. The student body will greatly appreciate this courtesy. Coordinator of Military - Affairs in the University in 1946. Serv ing with lne rank of colont?he went through the Normandy and Ardennes campaigns, winning four ribbons, the Bronze Star and Belgium fouragere. He is now national commander, of the 81st (Wildcat) Division Veterans Association and comman5r of the 3083rd Research and Devel opment Group (Reserve) here. According to some notes in Harlon Hatcher's "Modern Con tinentaf '"Drama" on Valentine Katayev and his play "Squar , ing The CircrcV' the revelation is that it was written at a time when the Russian regime was in favor of and encouraged crit icism. "Writers took advantage of the opportunity to attack Russian ignorance, - coarseness and social disorders," the book states.' Of this particular play, which opened Tuesday eve ning and will be offered each evening through Sunday by The Carolina Playmakers in their theatre. Professor, Hatch er says, "It makes merry bur lesque of the strict and un imaginative altitudes of the Communists toward love, marriage, and the family when communist youth sum med up all wisdom, in, a phrase from Marx and the stale per mitted free love, easy mar riage, and easier divorce." Professor Hatcher, in a sen tence, . has just about' summed up he entire play and we can agree with everything he says about this work except his first four words.

The plot: boys meet girls, boys get? developing some muscles on a Collective Farm; a Party Boss (Melvin Hosansky), and the man Senator Joe O'Mahoney of Wyoming, the famous trust buster. No one could believe that O'Mahoney would com out on the side of the big trusts. Hence, many liberals were luJed to sleep by the fact that O'Mahoney introduced the basing point bill. In the eyes of big business, this is the most important bill to come up this session of Congress. For it would amend the anti-trust laws so that the steel industry, for example, could charge the same price for steel from the blast furn aces of Pittsburgh. Pa., or Geneva, Utah. This practice of regulating prices by ab sorbing the shipping costs was outlawed by the Supreme Court, so big business turned lo Congress to overrule the court. O'Mahoney made his bill . sound so harmless that it almost passed the Senate without an objection. Only at the last min ute, Senators Russell Long of Louisiana and Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, both Democrats, caught what was going on, and put up a fight against it. ' Back in O'Mahoney's trust busting days, he bitterly criti cized the basing-point system as a conspiracy by the trusts to regulate prices. That's the rea son his colleagues , couldn't understand why he now intro duced a bill to restore the basing-point system. In fact, be cause of O'Mahoney's reputa tion, many senators still believe his bill would encourage in stead of stifle competition. What they don't know, how ever, is that O'Mahoney was sold a bill of goods by the Westvaco Chemical Company of Westvaco, Wyo. This com pany has paraded 3 an inde pendent which discovered large trona deposits in Wyoming and now hopes to build a new chem ical business producinjg soda ash from natural trona. The Senator from Wyoming wanted to emphasize the in dependence of the company when he brought Robert D. Pike, an engineer for West vaco. to Washington to testify. "It is not a subsidiary to any other plant engaged in the same business?" the ex-trust buster asked Pike. Yet behind the legal red tape, the Westvaco "Company is not so independent. For the same record, in which this testimony was printed, identifies Pike in fine print as representing the Westvaco Chemical Division of the Food Machinery and Chem ical Corporation. This turns out to be a Delaware Corporation with tentacles all around" the world. It is described in business di rectories as "one of the princi pal producers of industrial chem icals in the United States," and it was involved in court action this year with the International Cartel in Alkalis. On August 12, the mother company was slap ped with a court injunction for violating the Sherman Anti Trust Act through this cartel. Named as co-conspirators were I. G.. Farben Company, of Ger many, and Solvan Et Cie, of Belgium. The head of the Brit ish cartel, Imperial Chemicals Industries, Ltd., of London, was also named as a defendant through its subsidiary, Imper ial Chemical Industries, Ltd., of New York. So it now turns out that the Westvaco Company, which is shouting its independence, is actually tied to an international cartel. girls (to live with them in one who irons out all the marital room), boys lose girls, boys get each other's girls. In between:, a great deal of nonsense about "bourgeois tricks," "bourgeois tactics," "bourgeois reactions," "petty bourgeoisie," drowning in a "bourgeois swamp," "lousy bourgeois romances," and, be fore 11:10, at least fifty, utter ances of the word "bourgeois" or its equivelant. (In case we failed to miss some subtle mean ing of the word, we've looked it up in Webster and he says: "bourgeois:: among . radical so cialists, as the Bolsheviki, a person who has private property interests, also a person of the middle class.") ' The boys and girls involved are, in order of their appear ance, Vasya (Hal Shadwell), an enthusiastic and likable fellow; Ludmilla (Ann Martin) , sweet, "undeveloped" and Non-Par tisaan; Abram (Frank' Groseclose) who is more in terested in good food than ic good government; and Tonya TFlorabel Wolff) a rather mas culine kind of girl who, when ; she isn't reading Party liter lure, spends most of her lime deciding what is "ethical" or tional ten pages of script by - "-unethical.".

Playwright Katayev has placed loo much faith in his audience's ability lo be amus ed by the constant repetition of certain slock devices: every one falls over an off-stage bicycle an incredible number of limes; a radio plays only ' when kicked or jarred (about a dozen times is a good guess), -and the word . --"bourgeois". which is. . . well, we've been through thai. ; :- . s There should be praise, for the cast and Director Jurgensen, however.

Mr. Jurgensen keeps his actors moving and crying and sweeping about the room in fine style and perhaps if he had written fifty pages 'of the script instead of ten, the evening would have been "a merry burlesque."
