Reax, Governor
Chancellor House has appointed a faculty-student com
mittee to investigate alleged hazing here at the University.
We salute this move as the first positive step toward remov
ing this bloated issue' from the shady realm of the nebulous
into the light of day.
We are confident the report of this committee will bear
out two of our contentions:
1. That the noxious notoriety emanating from this contro
versy has resulted in a flagrant misallocation of news spare.
2; That whatever hazing may exist at Carolina can be
effectively and judiciously handled "under the existing mech
anisms of enforcement, as has been the case in the p&st with
few exceptions.
We do not maintain that this question should be ignored.
Neither do we feel that the situation has reached such out-of-hand
proportions as to warrant the Governor's declaring
.. martial law throughout the area.
We feel the hazing issue henceforth will be properly hand
led and will "die the natural death it so richly deserves.
Not Our Red Wagon
The Daily Tar Heel has received numerous letters in criti
cism of the recent editor and her position on the so-called
hazing. We do not think it proper to print something she can't
rebut and neither are we interested in usurping newspace with
another's projects. The Daily Tar Heel thanks you for your
letters on this subject but will let sleeping dogs sleep.

Reviews and Previews
OF MEN - AND STEEL: Universal-International,
one of the
more ambitious film producers
in filmdom today , has succeeded
in luring John Lund away from
Paramount and has set up a
lengthly schedule of films for
him-. Due to wise loan-out poli
ciesj .they have also, the ser
vices of Jimmy Stewart, Gre
gory Peek, Patricia Neal, Mona
Freeman . and - Quite a few es
tablished stars. ,
"Steel k Town", a technicolor
film set against the Kaiser Steel
Mill in Fontana, California, is
the second , film starring Lund
at that studio. With him in this
drama axe " the recently de
bachelorized Howard Duff and
that gorgeous hunk of red hair,
Ann Sheridan. This marks Ann's
first appearance in over two
years. :
John Lund, connected with a.
family which own a steel mill,
sets out to learn about the busi
ness, and manages to steal the
girl friend of rough, tough, Ho
ward Duff. This film won't win
any awards, but it is about j as
good as anything we have ! been
offered lately, and I am Iglad
. to see Ann Sheridan back again.
Why doesn't someone get; some
good ' story for her. '.-pay like
"Annie Jordan", theiiovel by.
Mary Brinker Post. It would be
a natural for her.
OF HE-LEASED MOVIES: I
don't know whether you have
been,, aware of the fact or not,
but there seems to be an abun
dance of . old motion pictures
which most of us remember
well enough to b.e able to t write
a review of, and I 'don't 'know
why we should have to see them
so often since there are a num
ber of fine films which could
be obtained, at first run. Films
like "Quo Vadis", "Ivanhoe'Y
"The Greatest Show on Earth",
"My Six Convicts", "The Mar
rying Kind", "The River", "An
Affair in Trinadad" "I Don't
Care Girl", "Down Among The
Sheltering Palms", "Friendly
Island", "The . Wild North",
"Chicago Calling" are being
shown around the country, and
yet we don't get them here.
Maybe if we're lucky,' we can
see them when we go home on a
weekend.

Express Yourself
Editor:
I feel compelled to make some
reply to the article by First Lt.
Lawrence Ryan which appeared
on page one of Thursday's Daily
Tar Heel. Lt. Ryan said in effect
that young men in the military
services are doing their best to
keep out of the combat units
and are avoiding having to "get
down in the sand and mud and
grapple with the enemy." He
said that this generation "does
not want to be Marines or com
bat soldiers under any circum
stances." Frankly, if this is true, I am
glad that it js so. I do not like
to think that fellows I have
grown up with would willingly
wish to learn the fine art of
fives and the Northern Liberals.
They must nominate a man who
will 'carry the pivotal states of
the North and East and not lose
the South. Where will they be
-..by - signing it, ithen he should . .- able to find such a man? Will
keep it to himself L for one,
am not interested in. the opin
ions of those who are unwilling
to ' identify ' themselves or are
. afraid to say what they mean
and mean what, they say, and
show it by having their "name
withheld by request.'
Of course it would take cou
rage for one who is advocating
ignoring the laws of the State
of North Carolina,, and who is
def qriding an illegal and immor
al practice, to sign his name,
' ' ' !f Robert Pace
they be forced to call Truman
back? Will a new , face sweep
the convention and the nation?
Will a. fair-haired boy. such as
W, Averill Harriman sweep to
victory? Will the South leave
if Dick Russell is not nominated?
All these problems and many
more will be discussed tonight
at 8 p.m. in the Grail Room at
Graham Memorial when the
CPU, attempts ;t,o put some sense
into ( the muddled mess the
Democrats now! find themselves
of bayonet handling, and other
necessary gruesome details of
close contact with the enemy.
I much prefer to think of them
as. the friendly fellows I knew,
rather than hate-filled killing
machines, ready to slash out
somebody's insides at the twink
ling of an eyelash. It seems to
me that these men would hesi
tate to enter a combat unit more
from unwillingness to shed
blood than from fear of losing
their own lives. Should this be
called cowardly?
: I am sure Lt. Ryan would
agree - with . me that nobody
.Wants to participate in this kind
of slaughter, but : He probably
would add that men should ex-
of war and should feel it their
duty to take chances with their
fellow-soldiers and not be cow
ardly about it.
For myself, I cannot help but
wonder if it really can be a
person's "duty" to hate and kill
other human beings, diseased,
demented, deceived or perversly
indoctrinated though they may
be. We claim to be a Christian
nation, yet expect our young
"men to violate one of Christ
ianity's basic percepts to love
your enemies - and do good to
them that hurts.
- Personally, I like this country
and I believe much of it is
worth sacrifiefng one's self for.
I also believe that one of the
finest qualities in the human
race is the nobility of men risk
ing and sacrificing their lives
with bravery and courage; but
at the same time' I wonder .why
such a noble sentiment must Re
