FOlTtHIS ISSUE Night Editors: Andy Taylor News; Biff Roberts Sports The DTI1 MASTgoes up today for the Class of 1950 Its record is good. . . and its future is promising. The challenges to the progress and continuing growth and welfare of every diploma-bearing Senior are many. But they only serve as incentives to each of the new Carolina alumni. ... To work for a, finer community in a yet nobler State that plays such a vital role in the democratic Society of One World. To YOU, the graduates of 1950, the Daily Tar Heel extends its congratulations for past achievements. . . . ' And its hope that wherever you go and whatever you do, That you will honor the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill by carrying with you the true nobility of the Carolina Wny of Life. 200,000 Strong Friends of Senator Frank Graham on campus have come to the office, with suggestions that the DTH "play-down" the present senatorial campaign. They have protested that they love Frank Graham as much as any North Carolinian, but . . . So for, the past ten days the DTH has played-down the most news-worthy election to come out of North Carolina in fifty years. The fact is that on Saturday the voters of this State will determine the wisdom of putting an honest man in the rather unsavory position of having to defend his inate Christianity against the vilest and the most effective smear tactics ever used in North Carolina. Nobody has ever claimed that Senator Graham is, per fect. We can only echo the acute observation of a western Republican: Report to the Stockholders The DTH Stumbles Forward In the past six weeks. you have been able l . sce-th.. lee inning of -ihe. new . Daily . Tar Heel TTolrrts-r--Tnany-"-faurts7-'-sorne-- improvements, and more responsible and responsive attitude toward the owners of this paper. Any critique of the degree tor which' the hew editor has lived up to the expectations and hopes of . the stu dents, must necessarily 'be ".made by each stu dent reader himself. Nevertheless, it may' be of interest to you tn have a look at the inside workings of your paper. It was on election night, April 11, that I first fully realized the tremendous pressures that are brought to bear on any editor. President-elect John Sanders asked me on that night to appoint the managing editor of the Student Party's cam paign paper as the managing editor of The Daily Tar Heel. Chuck Hauser and some of his friends advised me that Roy Parker was the best pos sible staff member for that position. Some of the people who had worked for my election, supported Zane Robbins for the job. Before any appointments were made, I con sulted some 200 people, among whom were the entire staff, the journalism professors, the owner and supervisors at Colonial Press, and many campus leaders. Following the wishes of the majority of the old staff and in the belief that he was the most qualified person available for the job, I appointed Roy Paprker. Every other appointment Don Maynard, Feature Editor; Wuff Newell, Society Editor; Rolfe Neill, News Editor; and Larry Fox, As- , sociate Sports Editor was made on the basis of seniority qualifications and potential ability. Some shouted that I was playing politics with the DTH. They must have overlooked the fact that all the above appointees actively supported Chuck Hauser for editor. Now we come to the appointment which be gan a long series of revolutions bitter charges and a few resignations. Before the end of the winter quarter I had asked Zane Robbins to run for Editor of The Daily Tar Heel since I found myself unable to support either of the other two candidates. I suggested that he and i run as co editors, and when he declined, I proposed that he run alone. This is' simply to let you know the respect that I had for Zane as a newsman before the election. His experience includes three years of work on the Winston-Salem Journal and a two-year term on The Daily Tar Heel. Editor Dick Jenrette appointed him Desk Editor last winter. ,. There has tended to be for the past year a division between members of The Daily Tar Heel staff. The two divisions have been called the Hauser faction and the Chi Psi faction. Mem bers of both groups are naturally loyal to those with whom they have, worked and played. The vote of the staff on the Managing Editor was 19 for Roy Parker and 12 for Zane Robbins. About the only thing the two groups agree on, is that the present Editor is a nincompoop. Looking at the paper as a four-page publication and in try ing to satisfy both groups, I decided that the com bination of Parker as Managing Editor and Rob bins as Sports Editor I could see without letting part of the staff go. Generally speaking, both groups were dis satisfied with the way things turned out.

Dr. Frank his been accused' of everything that the ex panding imaginations of his enemies can conceive. .They say he is a radical, a socialist, a communist. Yet the Presi dent of Burlington Mills and the founder of the Belk Stores, .say they are voting for Graham. They say he cancels the vote of Senator Hoey. But the record shows that our two Senators vote together more often than they vo'e differently. (And since when have any two brilliant men ever thought identically.) They claim that Dr. Graham is a theorist. And weren't Thomai Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson? They say Frank Graham is too pro-labor. And tens of thousands of North Carolina working people say it's time they had a friend in the U. S. Senate who worried more about the fellow who makes $30 or $40 a week than about the high taxes of the high income citizens. They say that Dr. Grahm is "the handpicked appointee of Governor Scott." And practically every newspaper in the State that Farmer Scott's hand never touched a greater man. They say he is for FEPC. Yet Franklin Roosevelt, Jr. corn mends him as the most-effective advocate of the South ern "gradualist" way of handling race problems. And the Bishop of the Episcopalian Church states that Graham was against any coercive provisions in the report of the Civil Rights Commission. They say Frank Graham is a "nigger-lover." And the Bible says that all men are brothers. They say that Frank Graham lends his name to subver sive organizations. Among the organizations that Frank Graham has belonged to are the United States Marine Corps, the Presbyterian Church, the National . War Labor Board, Phi Beta Kappa, and the good officers committee of the Se curity Council of the United Nations on Indonesia, and the United States Senate. Among those people supporting Graham' are General George C. Marshall, Kenneth Royall, R. Mayne Albright, Dr. J. Y. Joyner, John W. Umstead, J. Melville Broughton Jr., and Mrs. O. Max Gardner. - I r &K -Jk 5lm (?3L .v IfiUESS THE BtST. , &&Sv i DO IS rtHSflt JOR Report From The President Summer School & 1950-51 the Greensboro press convention, seems -to me to justify their appointments. The only thing I ever said about Buddy Vaden, was said in sup port of his candidacy for a Publications Board seat at a meeting of the Student Party last win ter. When Buddy failed to get the nomination, I asked him to run as an independent. The reason that so much has been written about the present Senatorial campaign is simply that I regard what happens this coming Saturday as of prime importance not only to the State of North Carolina but especially to the students at this University. Since Frank Graham spent his life working for the University, it seemed that The Daily Tar Heel could do no less than to tlevote its efforts to his election. In doing so we have given his major opponent as fair treatment as space would permit: The cut in appropriations which The Daily Tar Heel suffered at the hands of a Student Legislature this spring has caused the Publica tions Board to set up a budget for next year that excludes the comics, the crossword puzzle, the editorial cartoon, Drew Pearson and Billy Rose. We hope 'that through economies and creation of advertisers we can restore these features at an early date in the fa 11. To al lthe organizations whose notices were cut, to all the people whose names were misspelled,-and to anyone whom we may have of fended unfairly, I assume complete responsibi lity but can only say that we will continue to do our best. Your continuing criticisms and cooperation are needed to make The Daily Tar Heel the paper you deserve and a" paper that serves you, .the owners.

And set down the Vrtinent facts . . . Anon This summer will see the first real trial of the summer school Student Government as estab lished in the new constitution. In structure, Student Govern ment will be essentially the same as that which operated last summer. An ' acting-President and an acting-Secretary-Treasurer will handle administrative affairs. The three judicial coun cils Student Council, Men's Council, and Women's Council will continue to exercise their regular functions. In addition, the Student Council will sit as and advisory and semi-legislative body. Tuition: With the approach ing Genera Assembly of 1951, a fight is' he expected in an effort to fcs,J. tuition rates lower ed. In J49, the bitterly op posed raise in tuition was put through as an ."emergency" measure. Responsible sources predict that there will probably be a move to raise tuition even higher for the next biennium, even though Carolina now ranks as one of the top half-dozen state universities in rates charg ed. During the summer, every in state student should make it his business to get the ear of the University Trustee and State Legislators in his county, and get them to pledge their sup- Swan Song Another year is almost over, and in the words of Chancellor Robert B. House, it's been one of the best yet. The fall football weekends with their big dances and parties were exciting, but the biggest event of all was the mass move to New York when several thousand rooting Tar Heel fans traveled to the big city to see their beloved football team tack le one of the greatest teams of all. Notre Dame won the game, but the Tar Heels with their Confederate flags' and their shouts of "All the way, Choo Choo" won the hearts of the hardboiled Yankees. Hill. During the past nine months there have been many unforget able events, . and almost every one of them brought credit to the University. Remember in the fall when we lost our first football game of the year to LSU? That night Chapel Hill was quiet, but the next afternoon when the team flew in from the wat wastes cf Louisiana, they were greeted with louder cheers thanv if they, had scored their biggest vic tory. , The ycar-.-.hos been an event ful one, and such things as the Notre Dame weekend, the many parades and dances and the elections will lc-ng be remem bered. In less than two weeks the seniors will go out into the world to make names for them selves, but it will be a long time before they forget their years at the University, for the University of North Carolina, to quote Chancellor House again, is the greatest place in the world. port in any effort to reduce 'tuition, and their absolute op position to any increase in pre sent rates. Curriculum: The Curriculum Evaluation Committee has done a comendable job this year. The joint student-faculty group has presented to the Faculty Com mittee on Instruction a report citing the needs for a profes sional study of the curriculum, advisor system, and related problems. Included in the report was a request for funds to fi nance the study, which will be placed in the hands of a full time professional person, and require an estimated two years' or more to complete. Judiciary: Work is underway on the study of the judiciary councils, with an eye to modern ization and generally increased effectiveness of the student courts. The Men's Council has prepared a manual on the opera tion of that body, its rules of procedure, campus law, and penalties customarily meted out. 'Currently, the Women's Coun cil and Student Council are fol lowing the lead of the Men's Council in preparing similar studies of their own operations. This should result in a function ing, of these courts. Honor System: A study of the effectiveness of the Honor Sys tem at large has been under taken, though serious work in this field will have to wait un til next fall. Many people have jDecome. concerned over the over all effectiveness of the Honor and Campus Codes in the daily life of the students. It is felt that a thorough re-evaluation of the whole problem, followed by positive steps to strengthen such weak points as can be found is vitally needed. To the grads: Departing sen iors and the Test of us too, for that matter can find no better use for a dollar than to invest it in a( membership in ihe Alumni Association. The As sociation supplies the chief means of maintaining contact with classmates, and with the University and its activities after we leave Chapel Hill. Through the Alumni organization, and its various activities such as the foundations, individual grad uates are able to jon their ef forts towards making this Uni versity a better and more ef fective servant of the state. John Sanders , President Write Away The Carolina Spirit J) ear Editor: - - ' I hope that you can find room enough to print this letter as I cannot leave Chapel Hill without expressing my profound gratitude for the over whelming help that you all extended me. I want to thank you for what you have done for me and I can leave Chapel-' Hill with the assurance that the first impression that I got of America was not wrong: that there is a people which starts friendship by action without making first long Kpeeches, which never lets a fellow down when he got into trouble but pulls him out by a joint effort. And, if ,you, Editor, put American Hospi tality in ironical quotation marks, and said that I "experienced it in reverse" then I can tell you today that this experience has been compensated and balanced by far by the general and generous response of the Campus to my plight. I would like to thank in particular the Daily Tar Heel for the quick and extensive publicity, the Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity and the Ameri can Legion for their active assistance, and Jim Wilson, Bill Sufford, Jack Gural, Rolfe Neill Mr. Danziger, Richard Wiegand, Mr. tevens, Mr. James, Percy . and Margaret Flovers, John C. Gould, Bill Hester, Claud . Shotts and all those nameless and numerous donators of this' wonder ful campus. You all have done a great thing, for me, and I am very grateful for it. . , ' I leave the campus "in the conviction that there is some kind of common bond between the American and German veterans and that we have to take' care together that this slaughter of the past war. will never occur again, and that we all have to cooperate for a strong and lasting peace. Not only I alone, but the German students cis a group wish to express their appreciation for your help, and you can be assured that this demonstration of the American 'Way of helping somebody will not be forgotten. So we all want to say: Good bye, American friends, and "ihanx a million"! -. - ' Gerd Wiegand Bad Wiesse, Haus Geier,.US Zone P.S.: If you ever come to Germany please don't miss to look me up and be my guest. . A Job Well Done Dear Editor: - On behalf of the many students who have availed themselves of the free instructions in the social dancing classes during this and previous quarters, I would like to extend sincere thanks and gratitude to Lib Stoney and John Lehman. These two recognized as the finest instructors in this area have given very generously of thlir time and energy to this worthy project. Not only have they been faithful in instruct ing dancing, but their understanding attitude and genuine interest in students of all skills has been superb. Since it is rather certain that nei ther Lib nor John will be able to continue the dancing classes next year, I feel that the stu dents of this University owe them a debt of gratitude for a job WELL DONE. , ' Jim Ingram 226 "A" Dormitory 8 2S 30 33 39 45 48 51 21 24 AO 41 IFF 19 p 20 31 34 22 25 37 FT 52 WL P 3Z "A Wo v. 7m 38 2 47 SO 53 35 to If K3 HORIZONTAL 47. city In India 48. portent 49. shelter 50. lacerate 51. sudden, sharp pain 52. male offspring 53. serf 1. ring- of light 5. caressive " touch 8. god of thunder 12. dry $ 13. cuckoo j 14. unique 15. cleave 16. smiled affectedly 18. book parts 20. fragments 21. effacements 23. air: comb. form 25. force 26. calyx leaf 30. thrill of emotion 32. til 33. zeal 34. compartment for grain 35. mournful 36. fencing " . thrusts SB. achemev - VEETICAL 1. stringed musical instrument 2. space 3. stayed on 4. more peculiar 5. dance step 6. ill will Answer to yesterday's puzzle. lAIVMIPT S Kl AT l , . .5L M H I t FLORAL 5-Jo 42.

I hope that the small contribution I am ahle to make may serve to assist him materially on his tour of the East. While serving as a stretcher bearer in France during the late World War, I was captured, shot twice with a Luger, and left for dead. Fortun ately, though bayoneted three times, I was found alive by some buddies, (who were later killed), and removed to a permanent Red Cross Hospi tal. However surgery was interrupted by a vicious-attack by Stuka dive bombers which de vastated the hospital and burned the more se verely wounded. As I dragged myself from the conflagration I was machine-gunned in the leg by low-flying Me. 109's which were engaged in strafing the survivors. . The G. I. leg that I have tried so faithfully to ' wear since that time has proven to be c.jnipletely useless to me. I am sending it by separate pack age; please sell it and contribute the proceeds to this 'worthy cause. As a small favor to me please inquire of your friends if any new technique has been developed for removing dum-dum bullets and shrapnel lodged near the spine. Such an operation, if -successful, would enable me to feed myself and pos sibly sit up at my apple and pencil stand.
