A Real Service Fraternity Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity on campus, and its energetic president Bill Roth are to be commended on 1he line work they are doing this year in an effort to make the Carolina way of life more enjoyable. "; - Typical of this spirit of cooperation which Alpha- Phi Omega has displayed was the initiative which the members showed when Collier's Magazine wired the Daily Tar Heel that it wanted a coed to be selected fromthis campus as a cover girl for a future issue. The DTH first offered the con test to the Campus Chest committee, which at this time was embroiled in Jts ill-fated Miss Campus Chest contest. The Chest Committee, however, declined to sponsor the Collier's contest. . ' Then Alpha Phi Omega stepped in, offering to take over all the details of a contest to choose a coed for the Collier's honor. The organization had nothing lo gain by sponsoring the contest, but was doing it merely as a service to the campus. According to plans released by Alpha Phi Omega this week, the contest to choose a cover girl should be well organized, in good taste, and of interest to the entire student body. Any coed, either individually or sponsored by an organ ization, may enter the contest. The Daily Tar Heel will run pictures of the contestants, and the $5.00 entrance fee will cover this expense. All the students will take part in the voting in the Y-Court. All entries for the contest should be submitted to the Contest Committee, Room 202, of the YMCA building by Monday, Feb. 13. An 8 by 10 inch photograph should accom pany the application, Alpha Phi Omega should be congratulated in ..taking the lead in sponsoring this contest. It is an excellent opportunity for the girl chosen, along with good publicity for the University. Cheering Support Needed Some 300 tickets, which the Carolina Athletic department wrangled from State College for the Carolina-State basket ball game, will be on sale at Woollen Gymnasium today through Saturday. The game will be played in State's new 12,500 seat Coliseum in Raleigh on Feb. 21, and should be a' sellout. : It is to be hoped that each of these 300 tickets will be purchased by Carolina students. And other students should write the State College Athletic Department for tickets. The Carolina-State game looks like a real battle, and every State College student can be expected to turn out for the game. The State students rank among the loudest of cheerers at basket ball games. Therefore it would be advantageous to the Tar Heel basketballers to have a few fans of their own . in the stands. s ' ' .It has been proved many times in the past that the crowd frequently has an influence on the outcome of the ball game. The Carolina students can help their team a lot by attending the game. Random Zane Robbins is gaining notoriety as a Latin critic, thanks to Mr. Ed Best's appreciation of his work appearing in the Daily Tar Heel this weekend. In his letter to 'Publius Rob bing' Best rebuked the columnist for mistaking Vergil for a Greek. Right now Publius Zanius Robbinius is furious be cause the name has become a trademark around campus . . . Charlie Gibson, on being tapped at dawn recently by the Golden Fleece, at first thought some of his fraternity broth ers were playing a prank on him. "If that had been another one of those KA pranks, I would never have set foot in that house again," Charlie admonished to his friends later . . . Congratulations are in order to Gibson, Roy Holsten, and Max Gardner for receiving this high honor ... One anonymous student is wondering just how much you have to contribute to the Campus Chest to have .the fund accepted. On tendering a dollar, he was advised to think it over until he had decided to give more. Actually, the Chest solicitors(are doing an excellent job. Bill Roth has'done a good job as head man in the solicitations committee . . . Budd Grover is wondering whether his driving lessons are to blame or whether its. Effie Westervelt's ability as a pupil. At any rate, Mrs. Westervelt's new Lincoln has a few "scratches" as a result of Effie's driving lesson Sunday after noon. The idea of fraternity exchange dinners is still growing. Phi Delt, Phi Gam, Sigma Chi, Chi Psi, DKE, and Sigma Nu have been active in the exchanges so far.' 3Tar Heel Adv. Manager Bus. Ofjice Mgr. Nat'l Adv. Mgr Oliver Watkins ...Ed Williams ..June Crockett Shots Carolina Seen Learned Lerner By Bill Kellam By Bill Kellam Dr. Max Lerner, noted polit ical scientist and journalist, cleared up a lot of intellectual fog concerning the non-communist liberals and the . world situation Tuesday night at Duke University. - . A professor, former editorial writer of PM, and present co lumnist on the New York Post, Lerner is a liberal with both feet planted firmly on the ground, not in the air Henry Wallace and his "dough face" progressives who call themselves liberals did much io further the mis conception of the location of the American- liberals' feet. Anyone who'd listened to Ler ner would have" learned that he is a stern and even frightening where ihe future of Western civilization is con cerned realist, and ' like Ar thur Schlesinger, Jr.. a pro ponent of , America's new, i "tough minded" fighting lib eralism. William James provided Ler ner with his self-descriptive term - of - the "tough " minded" (seeing the world as it is) out look toward world affairs as op posed to the "tender minded,"' the. iWallacites, those who see only what they want to see. . The tender minded look only for the encouraging elernents of any situation, ignore the un pleasant aspects, and naively hope that things will work out in the end. Unfortunately, the world just ain't made that way. Mrs. Roosevelt- pointed that out last week. Lerner did so the other, night. Both stressed that we've . got to work, for world accord. Lerner considers the hydro gen bomb the catalyst which may miraculously reconcile, or even combine the alien, and alienated, elements of capital ism and communism. He thinks that the fear of the consequences of the use- of the- bomb may move both governments to cast : asidei'ialse pride and. ..fear of ; loss of face "and:-submit to con- -tinuous inspection of ' atomic production facilities. Truman's decision io pro duce the bomb, plus ihe fact that ihe Russians will event ually develop it, has sharply emphasized ihe f acij. that ihe next war will be the last for America and Russia. Why? A committee of atomic scientists said after Tuman's decision: "The bomb. . . .is a means of - extermination of whole popu lations. . .the use of it would be a betrayal of all standards of morality." Standards of mo rality are passe in 20th cen tury warfare. The basic negative nature of American policy its" subordi nation of the dynamic appeal of democracy for an emphasis upon dollars and guns was sharply criticized by Lerner. He cited our Chinese policy as 1 a prime example of this fail ure and of tender, minded thinking. Despite the repeated warn ings of Generals Marshall and Stilwell, - the state department persisted in supplying military and financial aid' to the corrupt Chiang regime, "a reactionay dictatorship welded into ' the past which couldn't hold the allegiance of the Chinese peo ple because the people weren't getting land, education, a chance to work and make a life," Lerner said. The policy makers figured, since Chiang wasn't communist, that things would work out for the best. But the Chinese peo ple didn't agree, and now China's in the communist sphere. . Whether the communist rebels will give ihe needed reforms io ihe Chinese peo ple, Lerner doesn't know, but by pursuing a policy of see- ing that working democracy becomes, just that all over ihe world, and especially in Indo nesia and India, the United Slates can bring China back into the ranks of the democ racies when its communist re gime proves inadequate. Lerner also expressed con cern over the success of our de nazification and democratiza tion program in Germany. There is much enthusiasm for democracy among the German youth but little has been done to restore Germany to a peace time economy or to dismantle Not Distributed by Kine Feature Syndicate y arrangement with The Washington Sta The Men's Honor Council, an integral part of the judicial sys tem of student government, has as its function the handling of all possible violations of the honor, and campus codes. The council, which is composed of two sophomores, two juniors, two seniors and a representative of the Law, Med, Pharmacy and Graduate schools, has its mem bers chosen in the campus-wide spring election. The Non-partisan Selections" Board chooses four candidates for each of the two class posts and the nominees run independent of any party support. A. chairman and a clerk are then chosen by theouncil at its first meeting and the policy for the informal hearing is is agreed upon. This year has marked one of the most successful years for the Men's Honor Council since its origin on the Chapel Hill campus many years ago. Stu dent interest in the Honor Code and Student Government as a whole has improved to a notice able and satisfying degreeProof1 of the rising amount of interest, may be found in the fact that a larger percentage of cases of Honor and Campus Code- in fractions has been turned in by the students themselves than in any other period in the his tory of the system. This interest has had a re warding effect which has man ifested itself in the action of ihe Council in an effort to , iron out some of ihe . difficul ties which have confronted the Council in previous years. At present the Council is re ceiving a great deal of pub licity on the cases which are tried before them, a practice which has been neglected in ihe past. Student interest has created a demand for pub lic statements concerning the Honor Council and its policies. Work is in progress on an ex tensive study of the judicial system as a unit of Student Government. The Honor Coun cil has .outlined its complete procedure, statement of policy, and duties as set forth in the Student Constitution. Plans have been made to use ihis work as a basis for indoctri nation of new Council mem bers and for the orientation of students unfamiliar with ihe Carolina way of life, The problem of orientation has been given much considera tion also, for here, in the opin ion of student leaders, is the most vital phase of an effective Student Government. A student with an intelligent comprehen sion of the Honor System as a basis for his life at Carolina has their heavy industry. The whole German policy, seems more bent on building up the country as a buffer state be tween West Europe and the Iron Curtain. That's only a little of what he said, but space requirements cut me short. THo Only Shadow Caster Men's Honor Council Marks Sucessful By Roy Holsten, Chairman an asset which will prove to be invaluable both to him and the community of which he is a part. Steps have been taken to emphasize the importance of the Honor ' System in Freshman in doctrination, and many ideas have been utilized in the recent orientation programs. Results have evidenced themselves in the recent increase in student participation. A sound founda tion insures a sound system. The relationship of the faculty to the Honor System has also received attention. Joint meet- ' jrfgs have been held in the More head Planetarium Lounge be ' tween the Men's and Women's ..Councils and the Faculty Exe cutive Committee which have resulted in many valuable dis cussions of the student-faculty relationship under the Honor System. Proposals have been lmade for more complete indoc Vtrjriation of new instructors and visiting professors. Policies have been agreed upon for examina- tion procedure and -methods of reporting cases.

(Date of McMahon's speech, Feb. 2, 1950.) Quotes from this column July and August, 1948 "When one nation is in trou ble with another nation, wise leaders concentrate on ihe weakest point in the other nation's armor. The weakest point in Russia's armor is her own people. . . .We must go over ihe Kremlin's head io ihe Russian people in order io convince ihem that ihe United States is composed of people who do not want war. . . .

Fleming's naive letter of 7 February makes it evident that he is blithely content to wallow in the bog of medieval Jdeas of racial superi ority that are so common in this part of the nation. I an swer his letter only because my name was used adjectively in company with another of a person of a rather different na ture. When people say or imply that a liberal is necessarily communistic, it is only an out standing indication of their in capability of putting up an ade quate defense against liberal ism. It apparently is immaterial to arch-conservatives (or bi gots, perhaps?) like Mr. Flem ing thai a person's reputation in this hysterical age may be irrevocably damaged by ir responsible implications of ihe type he tosses around so carelessly. What Mr. Fleming needs is io pull himself oui of the mire of reconstruction days; his mind stills revolves' around outmoded and archaic premises; he has no ambition . to make any progress. And when someone with progres sive ideas upsets his little wagon of superiority he at tempts to slander iheir char acter in" the usual wayi What he intended to prove by his enlightening discourse -pn' the differentiation of scalawag and carpetbagger is also vague. His prophesy that Mr. Marks will be an old man before Ne groes are enrolled on this cam pus is a very- ill-considered statement. I predict that by that time he will be hardly a middle-aged man. And perhaps his children will have the great opportuntiy of growing up in a really democratic society where people are not taught by bigot ed parents that they are inately better than certain others. . '.. . You are in a sinking ship, Mr? Fleming; it's time to change to one with less leaks and flaws. Jack W. Hopkirw DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON merrygoroiinp ages of tea over nations, it shortened " the war and saved lives. How many more lives could be saved by preventing war in the first place by go ing over the heads of jhe Kremlin and getting to ihe Russian people! "Lef American planes over Germany drop weather balL,rw which the wind currents would float ' over Russia carrying friendship messages. Imagine the difficulty the Kremlin would have in explaining away these balloons!. . .During the war, the Japanese took advant age of weather currents to float balloons all the way across the Pacific carrying explosives. They wrere balloons of Death. We can reverse the process with balloons of Friendship. "F. W. Banner of Akron, Ohio, has offered to print 1.000.- 000 copies of a message to the Russian people without charge. Percy Smith of Los Angeles writes that he would be glad to supply bars of soap imprinted with a message. The Eagle Rub ber Company of Ashland, Ohio, International Latex of Dover, Del., and the Dewey-Almy Company of Cambridge, Mass., have offered to supply 100.000 balloons free. The Ingersoll Watch Company has offered to contribute Micky Mouse wrist watches over which the Rus sian people go crazy. . . .These are just a few of the patriotic Americans who want to help their country prevent war. "One of the surest ways io prevent war is to show the Russian people that we, the American people, aren't what the 14 men in the Kremlin say we are. As long as the Kremlin knows that 180,000. 000 Russians will unflinching ly obey ihe order io march without Congressional debate, without criticism, and with out knowing anything about ihe issues then war can al ways be just around the s corner." (Date of column, July 21 through Aug. 18, 1948.) Offical reaction Simultaneous with writing the above columns, this writer called on the branches of the military ser vices and the State Department. Here is what they said: Gen. Omar Bradley, Chief of Staff, was the most enthusiastic. He said: "If we can get to the Russian people, I can go fish ing." He promised full coopera tion if the State Department approved. Secretary of Air Stuart Sy mington was equally enthusias tic, promised full cooperation with B-29s if the State Depart ment gave an OK. Chief of Naval Operation Ad miral Denfeld was mildly in terested. The State Department was not interested. Assistant Secre tary George Allen, in charge of the Voice of America and of Propaganda 'Activities, feared that friendship messages to the Russian people would be mis interpreted. Our most success ful policy with Russia, he indi cated, was the diplomatic straight-arm, a warning that if the Soviet overstepped a cer tain line she risked war. Friend ship meassages to the Russian people might undercut that pol icy. -Later, I called on George Marshall, then Secretary of State, discussed the problems of getting to the Russian people. 1 suggested that he or President Truman address a radio appeal to Stalin that the Iron Curtain be lifted, permitting friendship between the Russian and the American people. While that appeal would be rebuffed, I pointed out that .millions of copies of the speech could be printed, in the Russian, Czech, Polish, Bulgarian and other Iron Curtaia language to be circulated in those countries, and undermine the belligerent propaganda of the Moscow ra dio. Secretary Marshall agreed, said he was considering an ap peal somewhat along these lines when the United Nations open ed" in New York that fall. But the appeal was never made. Possibly the convention al diplomats got hold of Mar shall, persuaded Kim to stick to ;the ruts of routine diplomacy.
