For This Issue: Night Editor, Andy On Lowering Taxes Student government has lowered taxes, although it proba bly won't be seized upon a campaign issue by any of the runoff candidates in next Wednesday's election. The Coed Senate has abolished the $l-per-quarter special women's fee which has been in effect for more years than you can count. It was justified when it was first put into effect back in the days of multi-fees, and served as the only source of income fo rthe Women's Association, which was an auto nomous coed student government. In the spring of 1946, the first Student Constitution was passed by the Legislature and ratified in an open vote of the student body. Under its provisions, the old fee system was to be thrown out the window and a new block fee sys tem put in its place. The block fee was to include the old in dividual Publications Union" fee, the Graham Memorial fee, the women's fee, the Debate Council fee, ad infinitum, ad nauseam. When the block fee' went into effect, a mistake in the Uni versity cashier's office resulted in the Womeis Association fee being left on the billing forms for coeds. And ever since that time, coeds have been paying the out-dated tax and the Coed Senate has been administering it. Every year at budget time, a controversy arises in the Leg islature as to whether the Coed Senate should receive any of the block fee money, since it has that special income of its own. The coeds argue that the special fee money is spent on things purely for women students, wrlile the money they re quest from the Legislature is to be used for activities from which the campus as a whole will benefit. But the Senatevhas finally eradiated the coed tax, and there is no longer any reason for the Legislature to hedge on taking the Senate in as a full-fledged member of a coeduca tional student government, entitled to all the rights an bene fits of other organizations under the Student Constitution. The Coed Senate has proved it is going to budget its money wisely by slashing from its next year's budget several sub sidiary organizations which do not even benefit the coed stu dent body as a whole. The Daily Tar Heel applauds the action of the Senate, and urges the Legislature to give it every consideration in helping it prepare its budgets for the years to come. C.H. Darkest Argentina Much has been said recently about the choking of La Prensa by Dictator Peron. Public indignation has resulted in all manner of written sorties hurled down to South America. Many of our collegiate contemporaries joined in the "national mourning day" last Friday with front page editorials and cartoons expressing stinging disapproval of Person. But to our mind one of the best ideas yet to come forth from the freedom-loving American press is out of The New Yorker magazine. It goes to some length to give reasons, then promises tat henceforth Peron's country will be known in The New Yorker columns as Darkest Argentina. Darkest Argentina . . . it grows on you R.N.

And anyone who supports Mac Arthur in the affair is in a total ly indefensible position. MacArthur is a soldier who not 'only disobeyed orders, but' disobeyed them repeatedly in the face of warnings and numer ous' second chances. He was driving his country and the world toward total war in Asia with complete disregard for the fact that his country and the world are trying desperately to keep the war localized in Korea and bring it to an end as soon as possible. MacArthur thought he was too big a hero to be fired, too in dispensable to be punished like the spoiled child he was acting. In thej words of several edi tors in the past two days, to support MacArthur in the pres ent situation regardless of wiiether you think he or Tru man and the Joint Chiefs of Staff are right is to support the principle that a field com mander is not subject to orders from his military or civilian superiors. I can't buy that. The general campus election Wednesday didn't prove a thing except that you can't ever ac curately predict the outcome of a campus election at Carolina. Some of you may have noticed that I learned that lesson a long time ago, and as a result, I did n't make any predictions as to the outcome of Wednesday's vote. Around here, it isn't smart. Of the big races, the one for secretary - treasurer was the only quick-death job. In that one, Jim Mclntyre scored a clean victory over Allen Tate. Bunny Davis was elected without op position as vice president, as were Sue Lindsey for Yackety Yack editor and Cy Minett for head cheerleader. The two top races still hang in the balance. And by7 adding the results there with the others, we come to a couple of interest ing facts: 1. For the first time in any one's memory, both party candi dates were knocked out of the runoff for a major campus post (Daily Tar Heel editorship). 2. The University Party took a terrific shellacking in the elec tion. In the presidential race, the campus recognized the least qualified man and eliminated him from the runoff. The battle Tuesday will be between Ben James, certainly the most quali fied of the three and Henry Bowers, who has worked hard with student government but whose executive ability is ques tionable at best. Ben, of course, is running as an independent, while Hank is a Student Party nominee. In the runoff for editor of The Daily Tar Heel, the campus is fortunate in having two good people from which to make a choice. Frankly, I didn't think Glenn Harden could conjur up enough votes to put her in the runoff, but she has now proved her political ability as well as her other attributes. Don May nard, who completes the runoff slate of two independents, is the more qualified person for the position, but I have a strong feeling that the campus will choose the lady. Here's why: 1. The SP will wholeheartedly support her, as will its nominee, Dear, and the vote will probably be delivered in full. 2. Allston will support her, in an attempt to buy oft- a berth as sports, editor of the paper, but his party will probably not go along, although she will cer tainly get as much of the UP vote as will Maynard. 3. A large portion of the male vote which did not go to her in the first election, figuring she didn't have a chance, will swing over for the runoff. 4. The coeds, realizing that they have a marvel o vis chance to elevate member of their sex to a major campus post, will vtum out in full force to sweep her into office. From The Editor's From Dear Editor: : . . .; ; ; i ,:: To the rrranyf friends and sup porters who worked with me for the improvement of The Daily Tar Heel, I would like to ex press my gratitude. The talks and comments that I had with students will enable me to do a more complete job as a reporter on The Daily Tar Heel and as a member of the Publications Board, I shall keep the requests of students in mind. Believing m the intelligence of my supporters, I feel sure that they will be able to make up their own minds in the ed itorial runoff next Wednesday. I would like to thank Art Greenbaum, the Student Party,' and many others who helped make the campaign a pleasure and an invigorating experience. Wall Dear From Harden Editor: ' An open letter lo the students: The confidence you expressed in my candidacy for editor of your, newspaper leaves me feel ing very humble. I do not delude myself into thinking you voted for me as a person as much as you did for a continually better a grow ing Daily Tar Pleel. You will choose next Wednes day the person you want to hire as editor of The Daily Tar Heel for next year. I sincerely hope that Frank Allston, Walt Dear, Bruce Mel ton, and Don Maynard will work as hard for a better paper if I am elected, as I intend to if de feated. To those of you who vpted for me, I express gratitude and ask that you return to the polls next Wednesday. I have respect for my opponent's ability and will continue to wage a positive cam paign. I have made but one committ ment to one group the entire studen'. body a good Daily Tar Heel. Glenn Harden Objection Editor: We don't object to the head lines and news in The Daily Tar Heel being two or three days old, and we don't object too strongly to the so-called "Daily" Tar Heel not being a daily Tar Heel, but we do ob ject to The Daily Tar Heel's re cent practice of using the same crossword puzzle for two or three days in a row, because it ruins our whole day, one of our Rolling by Don Open letter to students: The column this morning is, in all humility, a "thank you" for the confidence placed in me by your vote Wednesday. You have given me the opportunity and encouragement I need to go on and serve you as editor of your student newspaper, The Daily Tar Heel, if you, the students, wish it so. I have based my campaign on positive measures, and have stf'ived to keep untruth and deception completely out of the picture. However, there is one apology I feel the student body deserves. Last Monday morning, I released my first campaign poster of this - year, and of my entire career Jherc at Carolina. Prior to this spring I had never been involved in campus political snarls. But some people apparently misinterpreted that poster. It was said I attempted to deceive theT student body into believing my poster was an authentic issue of The Daily Tar Heel, and that the "authentic issue" swayed the votersiinto thinking The Daily Tar Heel stood solidly behind me in thfs .campaign. I wish to state, for the record," that I never intended to "de ceive the students." If I have, I apologize. I thought the miniature was an effective publicity idea and never once did the question of "duping" the students enter my mind. - The fact that 561 students, by unofficial count, cast their vote for me as their choice for editor of The Daily Tar Heel, leads me to conclude many accepted my poster at its face value: a vehicle for carrying my platform, record of experience and endorsement by columnist Barry Farber to the student body. To those who sin cerely beleived them- I humbly apologize to you. This is the . platform upon which I stand: I shall advocate, through the editor's column, coed drinking in fraternity houses; equal privileges for dormitory men on a par with fraternity men; I promise more comprehensive coverage of dormitory men and women through house presidents and dorm managers; greater scope in the sports pages and more complete mural coverage for everyone; and pledge that, as in the past, every effort will be jpent by me to obtain a larger staff. There will definitely be but vine editor and one editor only. Those other influences which have been prevalent will be quieted, and if this faiJs, will be discharged from the staff. I am of the 'perhaps dogmatic opinion that the ideas and views reflected on the news and editorial pages be those of the students and not of a few selected writers. I ask that the students look av my record as a staff member of three years experience, as feature editor last year, as associate editor this year and as author of this column. v . t Xook at the record, fellow students, then vote as your minds and not your emotions, tell you. main enjoyments being that few minutes of mental struggle with a crossword puzzle. r Is the expense so great hat we have to be subjected to the same one day after day? , George Hankins . Checle Goodin 0 Shock Editor: While waiting in line in Len oir Hall one evening last week, I was shocked to hear a quar tet of students discussing their plans for the night. Had their proposed undertaking been con structive or chaste, I would not be writing this letter. How ever, far from being untainted, the group's schemes were sen sual, foul, and lewd. If I had not been particularly hungry, I would have been strongly tempted to leave the dining hall. To make matters worse, the stu dents made no efforts to lower their voices; one of the four seemed to want everyone in the immediate vicinity to hear his sordid intentions. Although this scene is enacted frequently in campus dormitor ies, it seldom is dramatized in a public building, especially an , eating-place. These four men I should be thoroughly ashamed . of their ungentlemanly conver sation a-nd resolve that never again will their tongues utter such despicable language in a r public building. Please, fellows, . consider the other guy and keep your speech a bit cleaner. Alva Stewart ; A Plea . . . Not long ago I was. sitting in the theater seeing the movie when some young man came strolling down the aisle with two lighted cigarette fighters in his hands asking loudly, "Does anybody see a vacant seat?" Then when I was enjoying an other movie of highly religious type, someone sitting behind me made a remark that was so sac f eligious that it ruined the whole movie for me. At other times people have thrown pop corn boxes, yelled to someone across the theater, clapped wild ly, hissed and booed childishly, and done other stupid things. As far as I'm concerned, such ac tions are immature, innane, be numbed, and a vital attempt to attract the attention of other people in the theater. I have tome to the conclusion that most of he people here are unable to undergo the emtional strain which some of the movies press upon them. For fear that Stones Maynard Mailbox some around them think that the scene is making them feel uncomfortable, or. for fear that someone around them think that the '.action.- of the person on the ; screen receive their approval, they riiss, Ixkv and. behave in such a mariner which breaks the mood in which . they are never realizing how their be havior might effect the ones around them. , I would like to make one plea to the students -here on cam pus. Please realize that you are supposed to be of college ma turity. The next time you don't approve of a scene in a movie, keep your mouth shut and if you can't sit through it . with out disturbing the people around you, get up and walk out. I am sure that such actions would be greatly appreciated by many of the people in the theater. Thomas C. McCall ' On Campus Over in the Chem Building last week one class of students' took up in lecture the fascinat ing study of ethyl alcohol. Carried away by the potency of his subject, the prof began explaining in detail the art of fermentation and distillation. He even delved into the man ufacture of Scotch! and bour bon, complete with illustrative diagrams on the board. For the first time this quarter the boys on the back row took notes.
