No More War!

Sunday was Armistice Day. Many of the local churches
took note of the fact, but we heard of no one else who spon
sored a formal recognition of it.
Possibly children in the local schools were told about it.
But we doubt that they were taught the same lessons about
Armistice Day that those of us in grammar school during the,
thirties were taught.
We learned, back in those deep dark years (us children of
the depression) that Armistice Day was important because it
marked the end of war. Specifically, it marked 'the end of the
war to end all wars.
Letters
Madam Editor: '
... I wish to go on record as being
opposed to the frivolous and un- ;
patriotic attitude of some of our
students which is clearly evi
denced in the article on page one
pf the DTHfor November : 8.
We are informed by this illumi
nating article that on the Notre
Dame week-end a "big bond
fire" is to be sponsored by the
University Club.
While it may be true that
. some students at UNC have
money to burn, yet it seems to
me that such a public display of
bondburning cannot help having
a deleterious effect .on. , our na
tional defense effort. At the very
moment when the hnportance
of buying defense bonds is being
impressed upon us, we suddenly
discover that a group of our stu
dents has decided to show its
contempt lor these bonds by
staging a public burning.'
Of course, I may be mistaken,,
for it may turn put that the
bonds to be burned are not de
fense bonds, but merely worth
less old shares of AT&T vr
General Motors stock. If this
proves to be the case, I suggest
" that the whole activity be placed
under attempt by certain sub-.,
versive elements to demonstrate
' their opposition to the capitalis
tic system by publically burning
these symbols of big corpora-
. tions and high finance.
In view of the seriousness of
the situation, I suggest that it
might be better to call off this
proposed conflagration and to .re
place by; an old-fashioned bon
fire, using as fuel such, rubbish,
as old packing t cases, " undistffi-

If true, and! assume it to be,
Robert Bartholomew's article
should sink deeply into the mind
of each Carolina student. I mean
this, not to renew the argument
for of against segregation at
' games, but as warning against
future petitions issued by mino
rities in the name but without
the permission of the majority.
... .
We are attempting to ' con
vince the world that democracy,
as Americans have been led to
interpret the term is the best
form of government known and
can work for all. Yet here, on
this campus a mixing pot of
section, states, and nation, - we
have shown that, in the guise
of democratic organization,
oligarchy has taken root. Is this
the best we can show ourforeign
students of democracy in action?
Members of the "nine student
organizations, being representa
tive of most Americans, wouldn't
even have bothered, it seems,
to vote. But should they not, at
least, have been consulted be
fore signing a. petition that
would bring them, through their
organization, into the eyes of
the state and nation?
Carolina students must wake
up now to this and analogous
' problems while they can see
clearly and calmly in "Lux
Libertas." ;i -

"What Hazing?
Freshly Spoken
The fall wind is nipping the
noses, and cheeks of students
away from home to live for the
first time in their life. Many
have spent several summers vis-,
iting here and there, but few
of the freshmen have been away
from home to live for a length
of time. i. .7. j : '
We wererummaging through
a J.908 edition of a college news
paper not long ago when . we
found a freshman's view of col
lege expressed in a poem.
His view of college life can't
be seen on the surface of fresh
men today. Everyone laughs and
J tries to give "Mommy's little
baby" a hard time when he men
tions being homesick or any
thing of the hours spent in con
verting from home life into col
lege's new- and fast routine.
We wonder two things about
people who laugh and snicker
when homesickness is mentioned
(1) whether they Jar
to cover; .up a few: of their: own
pangs they: have i.; or; have had,
or w(2) whether their; home life!
hasn't been too happy. .
Adaptability is a" wonderful
trait, but then how, mapy really
: have experienced deep inside the
same feeling as the boy who
wrote the poem below?

On Campus
ARE YOU AN ONVI?
Just a reminder to the stu
dents of this University to vote
in the elections. In addition to
not being an OYCI, let's not be
an ONVI (obnoxious non-voting
individual) ... one who does not'
see fit to cast his ballot.
From The Daily Illini:
"HPW TO STAY OUT. OF
THE ARMY'
1. Join the navy.
2. .Get a letter from your parents
saying sorry, but you can't
make it.
3. Try running around the block
15 times before you go for
your physical. You may be
able . to . convince the doctors
you have asthma.
4. Wink affectionately at the
. psychiatrist. If he winks back
. at you . . . run!
5. Make occasional - comments
such as, "My, doesn't Big Ben
sound' wonderful at this time
of day." Or, "Answer the
phone,"' etc.
- 6: Collar the nearest doctor and
shout: "Hurry up this proc
ess. I want to -fight, ya hear
. me, fight, FIGHT!" You'll get
a mental discharge, sure.
7. Calmly inquire, "Comrade, is
this where I join the "Peo
ple's Army" to fight against
the imperialists, in Korea?"
CAUTION: .Never tell the of
ficials that you have poor vision.
You'll wind up on the front line
where you f can see the enemy
- clearly.

What does it take for Caro
lina to have a winning football
team? .
Most students are asking this
question. So are faculty mem
bers, the all-powerful alumni,
and the plain citizens of North
Carolina. The answer to this
question, according to what the
experts have written, must in
clude consideration of several
factors: finances, player talent,
school spirit and coaching.
Football at Carolina is ade
quately financed, compared to
other state universities. Alumni
contributions and gate earnings
rate U. N C. in the better than
average .class. Our players
themselves are of the best mate
rial available; in the state or the
nationand the boys want to
win. The students have 'demon
strated many times that spirit
is not lacking Carolina is fa
mous for its "spirit.
So what's lacking? Obviously
it takes more money, player
talent and school spirit?" What
is it that makes a winning team
out' of these factors?
Coaching is the answer. The
quality, of the coaching makes
or breaks the best collection of
potential all-stars.
For over a year, there has been
talk- Of dissension "among the
players. It seems that they have
not been happy about the
methods used in training and in
the manner used in selecting
those who play on Saturdays.
"Its not how well you play, but
who &ou know," one player in
formed this column last year.
Several players have made the
same or similar remarks this
year.
Regardless of whether train
ing methods are faulty and liner
up selections , are unfair, the
fact that some players feel as
they do indicates that Caro
lina coaching is missing a bet.
Individually, the players want
to win. They are a great deal
more upset than most students
over the win-lose balance. But
it takes more than individual
desire to fuse eleven men into
a solid unit. It takes coaching.
Coaching is what takes eleven
individuals, each with his own
ability and ambition, and welds
them into a winning team. '
But, so the talk goes, the
coaching attitude toward the
team varies from one extreme 1q
the other.. At one 'time there is
an almost complete disregard of
' Player attitude. At another ;time
the players get the "gotta win
or throats will be cut" angle..
Increasing pressure from diffe
relt alumni is supposed to be
causing trouble. The alumni
support, of each team member
brings pressure to bear upon the
coach to have that man play. So
the coaching .may . call for" this
man to p!ayr; a while, then that
9P- And no j.:one man plays
