In its third year of existence, the Order has shown itself worthy of a permanent niche in the present group of Carolina honor ary organizations. v ..... . These 65 were chosen on the basis of contributions in leadership, participation and overall interest to the Univer sity, the campus and the student body. It is well that we have such an organization, to recognize those students who are responsible for the efficient operation of our student organizations. Too long has the campus been without some means of formal recognition and honor for the many "little wheels" behind campus scenes. It would seem that The Order of the Old Well is such an organization. DM- A Long Winter Carolina's fraternities will open their first spring formal rush period Tuesday through Thursday, May 1-3, but it wouldn't seem that many non-fraternity men know about it. Perhaps, however, they are not interested in fraternities at this time.. If they aren't, and spring rushing falls flat on its face, then we would say the Greek-letter organizations are in for a tough time next year. Draft conditions and the resulting drain on the student body population are not going to improve the draft law has become as lenient as it ever will. Many fraternities lost a considerable number of members over the winter holidays and the past winter quarter, and not very many were pledged during that time to make up for the loss. Many more will don the colors this summer, leaving the veterans, ROTC men and the underaged now in fraternities to carry on next fall. The spring rushing program is a sign the fraternities and the Interfraternity Council have seen and read the hand writing on the wall. Now they had better take that hand writing and put it into something more concrete than a spring rush program which appears to be disihtergrating because of the student body's fear of committing itself to a fraternity for ptiaps only, a few months until the draft. " A isng winter for the Carolina fraternity system seems in the offing. We hope the Greeks are tightening their belts. 1DM Sleepy Heads That old spring quarter ailment is hitting the student body right where it hurts in its sleepy head. A double barrelled blast of spring fever and intensive weekend activity has been leveled at the students to lend a little more discouragement to book-learning in the Springtime. This weekend begins early with the Sigma Chi Derby Thursday afternoon, an annual event which brings out the color, excitement and ingenuity of Carolina's fraternity pop ulation. Friday evening, the University Club Carnival opens its entertainment gates to the general campus public for a night of carnival fun and entertainment. And on Saturday, the annual Blue-White football-game presents in preview the Tar Heels of 1951. It all adds up to a weekend of inexpensive fun. We would suggest it an excellent weekend for students to remain at their Chapel Hill home. DM ACROSS 1. Kan away 6. Imperfection 9. Chatter in cessantly: colloq. 12. Cripple 13. Mangle 15.

The answer is simple. In line with the recent toning down of fraternity hell weeks, the Grail decided to tone down its own pre-initiation practices, which were very similar in nature to some of those strongly object ed to by the administration when carried out by the social organi zations. In the words of one Grail member, "We decided to elimin ate ' all that stuff before the ad ministration asked us to." For those students who have n't been here in past years to enjoy the Grail's annual show, the 13 initiates regularly have dressed in . different costumes and gathered in the Y at noon or thereabouts to deliver short speeches. A parade through town followed that and then starting about 6 o'clock in the evening, the Grail neophytes were each stationed ori campus and in town at separate locations sing ing out slogans far into the night. Ed Joyner, a former editor of this newspaper, might be a good example to illustrate former ' Grail customs. Ed was ordered to report to the Y Court dressed as a mountaineer with a string of 13 dogs. He spent most of the morning gathering the animals, and the rest of the time trying to keep them from fighting, but somehow or other he slipped his speech in. His station later in the day was the walk in front of the Pi Phi house and his ring ing cry: "Of all the newspaper men in the world, I am the most like Hearst." That was repeated at one-minute intervals in a lusty voice. And while we're discussing the Grail, we should comment on the selections which were made by the men's honorary. The Grail has picked a fine list of men to honor. We could challenge no one of them. But the sin, as usual, is one of omis sion rather than commission. We could name several people far more qualified to receive the honor of being invited to join the Grail than several of those persons chosen. But that can be pointed out every year, as much with the Fleece as with the Grail. The Old Well, which honors its new members today, is a little different type of organiza tion. Its selections are made on the basis of a point system, and no deserving person can be left out because he is disliked by persons already in. But both the Grail and the Fleece operate the other way.- I didn't make the Grail a couple years ago because I had flunked out of school the spring quarter I was on the invitation lists. I am not irt the Old Well initiation today because I have n't had time to fill out the de tailed qualifications sheet from which my eligibility for mem bership would be determined. And I probably won't be tap ped into the Fleece next week, not only because I have political enemies within the organization but because someone in South Building is gunning for my scalp again this year. Lboks To Me by Paul Roth Most of us are afraid afraid "and confused. We are nervous and panic-stricken as we look 'l at the wprld about us. Whether we like it or not, our whole life and thinking have been linked to Communist Russia's plans for world 1 conquest." .All of us are aware that the Communist doctrine " calls for World conquest as one of the cardinal principles in its much-heralded "dictatorship of the proletariat." Nevertheless, we are confused. There seems to be no rhyme or reason in Rus - sian strategy, . , "Now, I am no expert in foreign affiars or anything else, for that matter but for what it may be worth, here is one man's idea of the "master plan" being used by the Russians to conquer the world: -, Let's look at history first, Communist 'Russia as we know .it is a relatively new member of the community of nations. It was born in the early part of this century the child of a bloody revolution. For many years we neard very little about the USSR, nor. did we particularly care to hear about it. While we were roaring through the twenties and starving through the thirties, Soviet leaders were doing two' things: consoli dating their dictatorial hold on the Russian peo ple, and industrializing as rapidly as possible. Shortly before World War II the USSR made its world debut. It had done just about every thing it could do at home and was setting out in search of three things that it, or any country, must have if it is to be powerful manpower, natural resources and strategic position. Logically, Russia's first moves were in Europe. She invaded Finland, taking timely advantage of the desire for "peace at any price" shared by most nations of the world. Then she began to take over Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, con solidating her position in northwestern Europe. Russia joined Germany in the last war probably with hopes to benefiting from a German victory, or merely to give herself time to strengthen for her own attempt at conquest. When Russia was stabbed in the back with the dagger that she had helped Herr Hitler sharpen, she joined the Allies and became heir to much that was to be gained from their victory she got Eastern Germany, North Korea, and the gold en opportunity to extend the iron curtain around Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania, Bul garia and Yugoslavia, thus completing a buffer in Europe and gaining numerous seaports and great stores of resources and manpower. Russia needed and still needs oil. She be- Rolling;Stones by Don Maynard This is the greatest student body in the world, located on the ; finest campus in the world, but' this student body is the lazi-' est group of individuals ever to set foot Upon the face of the( earth, to recom an old expres- ; sion. I often wonder what happens f when there isn't someone around Chapel Hill to feed the indolent, sun-soaking people who are con tinually griping about their stu dent government, their Daily Tar Heel or any phase of stu dent activities do they go with out eating, or do they have the initiative and energy to feed themselves? I am particularly annoyed at the attitude taken by many of the - students about the activity that is closest to my heart: this Daily Tar Heel. I wonder what would happen happen if the student body knew that only six people wrote and worked to get three of these four pages to the students this morning. The response would probably be that the half-dozen are a pack of darned fools. It's been said to me in the past. The staff in the Graham Me morial offices has been called just about every name from Al pha to Omega, and yet it con tinues to come to work right af ter lunch, work through these sunshiny afternoons and on late into the night, just so the stu dent body can have its daily reading plunked right into its beds the next morning. We're not looking for thanks, we enjoy the work. But it ceases to be fun when studies are cast aside and personal business takes a brush-off so that The Daily Tar Heel may be published on time. We are looking for help. And that help doesn't have to be tal ented and only waiting for grad uation to become professional. We need folks to write news, re write news, and write the head lines for that news. We need columnists and we need movie and book reviewers. Someone recently accused this newspaper of being a closed shop, and that if this person had her way, she would get a staff working which was large enough to publish two Daily Tar Heels. But that person has not worked over an hour per day per week since coming to the Carolina campus two years ago. Up Front' Yes, there is a closed shop. The Daily ,Taf Heel shop is closed to all those who are free-riders, glory hounds or who just don't want to work. This is a news paper requiring time spent by staff members. And the more staffers we have, the less time it takes to get the newspaper to press. I refer the campus back to this morning's paper. The staff members who worked on it all afternoon were: Rolfe Neill, Walt Dear, Nancy Burgess, Mary Nell Boddie, Mac White and my self. We all came to work at 2 o'clock, and we'll all probably be here until well after supper time. In view of all the above facts, I, am issuing an ultimatum to the student body: If you want your Daily Tar Heel to come out daily, and if you want it to come out at all each morning, then some of you had better get your lazy-bones up to this office on the second floor of Graham Memorial and help us out. Note to Bynum Hall journa lists: Here's your chance to get a practical, working knowledge of newspaper operation. To date there are only two or three of you folks up here writing for the student newspaper. If you are planning to serve the state as newspapermen and women, you should be willing to serve your student body in the same capacity. But if you look around you, and think real hard, you'll real ize that the real honors in life are the friends you have, partic ularly those that stick by you, the fun you have here at Caro lina, the value of your associa tion both, with your professors and with the education they help you obtain, the warm feeling you get when you' sit in Kenan" Stadium and watch a football game ,the hundred and one dif ferent little things that really count in the long run. Barter ( Continued from page 1) villand and Montgomery Clift. The play broke all box office records of the Barter Theater headquarters at Abington, Va. The man that leaves school with friends, with enough learn ing to teach him that his educa tion has just begun, and with a tear in his eye for the things that he appreciates and must leave behind that is the man who has won all the honors he will need all the rest of his life. Should Bill Mauldin, author of the book "Up Front," take a notion to brutally murcler the producer of the picture by the same name, he ought to get off on grounds of self-defense. As usual in movie productions of books, there was little connection between the book and the film. In this case the name was about the only one.

How ever, by"' a" combination' 'of""the" Truman Plan, some good . United Nations action, and valuable oil concessions, Russia was stopped. - Next, as we have paid dearly to realize, Russia focused on Asia-; the greatest storehouse of un tapped resources and manpower in the world. She played her cards and shrewdly, relying on the Chinese distrust of Chiang-Kai-Shek and their general desire to throw off Western domi nation. But most important, Russia promised food and land reforms to the Asiatics, and she made her attempts at conquest look like popular people's revolutions. That brings us up to where we are now firmly over a barrel. Russia has us fighting costly battles in Asia thousands of miles away from our sources of supply, and she has so many little "popular revolutions" going on simultan eously that it is impossible for us to stop all of them. However, most significant of all, is that we are not fighting the Russians! There have .been 30,000 casulties in Korea and' thousands elsewhere, and not a Russian life has been lost! Not only has Russia gotten additional resources and consolidated her global position, but she has found a perfect way to milk the strength of the Free Nations with very little cost or risk to herself. This observer believes that Russia will con tinue to keep us on the defensive in Asia, while she boosts her productive capacity and keeps up her attempts to weaken from within countries like France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, India, etc. I do not feel that Russia wants total war now, hut that she would much rather avoid it if at all possible. What must we do? We cannot retreat to the Western Hemisphere and seek protection from the oceans. We must continue to strengthen Western Europe through the Atlantic Pact and a strong western Germany. We must wage the ideological campaign against Communism throughout the world. We must find some de fensible perimeter in Asia. We must be strong militarily and morally; we must be united among ourselves and with our allies. In short, we must be prepared to contain Communist military ag gression with force, and to fight the ideological spread of Communism by strengthening the Free Nations from within. It's not a pretty picture, bvit we might as well face it! Barter tours are sent out under the agency of many distinguished personages. A number of the members of the board of directors are theatrical greats sucn as din's contempt for rear echelon personnel, but in the actual content of the book this was only a minor phase.

" . .- ;- Di Senate vs. Politics Editor: This letter is derected to Chuck Hauser whose political purpose are not hidden by the very talented use he makes of his column. The Dialectic Senate killed a bill which it felt would have de cided dishonest political influence on the election. The implica tions of the Bill were such a nature that discussion on the day before elections would seemingly give unfair advantage to one oi - the factions in the Presidential Race. We should no more advocate a Bill, which would abolish political parties than we should advo cate a bill to abolish independents, especially on the eve of elec tions. Also we must take into consideration that 500 leaflets wen ordered and charged to the Di to propagate this campaign; i!.: might be construed to be a violation of an elections law. It is a precedent of the Di not to become involved in Camp politics during the election. We hold and still maintain that this organization should be Impartial in expressng openly any opinion which would be damaging to either party or candidate, especially when the organization itself is composed of both parties. : We shall continue to work for a student Government which shall function as effectively as possible and which shall incorporate into its leaders the highest standards and ideals necessary to those future statesmen who shall in later years become honored sons of the University. Walter T. Tice. Jr. President Dialectic Senate Please, No Staples . . . Editor: Allow me to call the attention of candidates for political offices and other student advertisers to a pernicious if thoughtless habit that is becoming common. It is the stapling of bills and notices to bulletin boards. The wire staples remain fixed into the boards after the paper notices have' been taken down; and to be pulled out of the boards they require the use of a special instrument or care with a knife blade. Let the advertisers use tumb tacks or else come around later and pull out the staples themselves! John F. Dashiell. Dept. of Psychology So They May Walk Again Editor: May I on behalf of the North Carolina League for Crippled Chil dren and of the children and adults whom it serves express to you our warm appreciation of your exceedingly warm cooperation in the 18th Annual Seal Sale. While complete returns from the campaign have not yet been received, we have strong reason to believe that we will receive a total of $100,000. We had hundreds of loyal and energetic workers in the coun ties of our state, but their efforts would not have been so fruitful if we had not the publicity which the North Carolina newspapers provided so generously and so effectively. All of us who have any responsibility for the activities of the North Carolina League for Crippled Children are exceedingly greatful to you.' If you have room in one of your issues, we would appreciate an expression of our thanks to The Daily Tar Heel readers for their contributions. D. Hiden Ramsey, president A Different View Of The Y Editor: . Of late there has been much discussion over whether the YMCA should take out the "C" and various other things that have been brought up concerning the Y that deserve a different point of view than that presented by The Daily Tar Heel. "I have been letting my own ideas and personal opinions re main in the background where I thought they might be contrary," Ed McLeod says in part in the second installment of his so-called "answer" to the editorial The Daily Tar Heel ran. Rather than be ing an answer, it was, rather, a continuation of the editorial. If the president is to allow his ideas and opinions to remain un expressed, what kind of a program could the Y expect? His keeping his personal ideas to himself is contrary to anything I have ever known of Ed. In referring to the lost and found department and bulletin boards the YMCA keeps, past-president Ed McLeod said in The Daily Tar Heel, "As long as the YMCA is responsible for these services, it will be hampered in its attempts to present a better balanced program." How, in the furtherest stretch of the imagina tion, could service to the campus hinder any program? Did not Christ himself emphasize service? "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" remember, Ed? If Ed thought these services should be abolished, he, as presi dent, should have advocated such an action. I, as a cabinet mem ber, cannot recall any such proposal to the cabinet. Ed also attacks dorm and house discussion and the movies and nearly; everything else the ymCa has sponsored. He says of a lec ture on .Communism that no way was given to combat Communism "except (by) a more profound Christian faith." Isn't that empha sizing the "C"? Once again, I don't remember hearing Ed vindicate the abolition of the movies or the dorm discussions. He was presi dent, if he thought these functions wrong, it was his duty to exer cise whatever power he could to see them done away with. His attack on Mr. Claude Shotts is groundless and absurd as are most of his other statements. He was in a position to correct any faults of the ymCa he didn't correct them, and now it only reflects back on him if they still exist. I don't think most of them do exist, but if you do, Mr. McLeod, why didn't you do something about them?
