Yesterday I registered for the
selective service act.
—o ■
I don't know whether I will be
selected or not, but my name is
down, along with millions of oth
ers. I am subject to call. Some
thing that I have sometimes
thought about in my thirty-two
years of living, but the first time
I have actually been in a position
which limited my liberties.
—ο—
The fact that I am participating
in a history making episode does
not offer the accompanying thrill
that it might In a few years, I
may throw out my chest and brag
about the participation; but now
I can think only of what this par
ticipation might bring about before
the end is reached.
Shall I shoulder a gun and go
tramping off—leaving loved ones,
home, job, and accumulated bills
behind? And while I am away will
giant bombers sweep down from
the sky to drop bombs upon and
machine-gun those left behind?
Shall I perish "on some battle
scarred slope" where the thunder
ing noises and multiple slaughter
will make my death an unnotice
able incident? Shall I be number
ed and my passing simply make
the chart read one less?
vyi Butui jl return sneu snocKea—
a misfit in the social and economic
world that will be the backwash of
the present conflict? Shall I be a
helpless cripple, an invalid, blind
and dumb?
And where will the job be? After
the slaughter, shall I be fit to hold
a job, even if there is one avail
able?
—o—
And what attitude shall I have?
Shall I care for a job, for gains,
for comforts, for prosperity, for
prestige? Or shall I be immune
to likes and dislikes, having been
transformed into a dumb animal
from over-exposure to the base e
motions of human beings?
—Ο—
And we could go on and on, dig
ging up possible pictures of that
which the few answers and couple
of signatures of yesterday might
lead us into.
But .... We are proud that we
feel like one of our forefathers,
Patrick Henry. We will accept the
future as it may concern of bodies
and spirits; but we will not give
up some of the things American
without a fight.

Reportin1 The
SPORTS
Dallas Wright, big fullback who
used to carry the mail for Coach
Hoyles here, got into the game for
the Carolina Tar Babies last week
when they met the Wolflets from
State. The State boys won handi
ly. But you can never tell about
these freshman teams.
—ο—
Or the varsity either for that
matter. Two weeks ago at this
time, there wcjre a few scattered
around who had the Rose Bowl
Itis when Wake Forest was men
tioned. Last week it might have
come down to the Cotton Bowl or
the Dust Bowl Itis, but still "'bowl
itis."
This week the pit of either bowl
in question was not low enough for
the Wake Forest supporters. Poor
Wake.
About what happened down there
was this: The Clemson boys, who
are leant a bit toward the military,
iid not have time to read the press
release about Polanski, Pruitt, and
Jett. They probably did not know
who they were up against. As a
result they had agood warm-up
in the first quarter and got a good
workout during each of the last
three.
—ο—
Looks as if Notre Dame will
come through this year. Their first
team scored almost at will against
Georgia Tech Saturday. Yet the
Techs are no sneeze either. They
have been admitting that they are
pretty good, too.
—ο—
And we wonder who is going to
pull the hidden trick down in the
3alkans. They have been playing
in midfield down there a long time
without any scoring. Somebody
will show a sign of weakness soon
;r or later. Are the quarterbacks
mart enough to see them and take
idvantage of them?
Sigr.alcaller Yosef Stalin (sounds
like a good candidate for mythical
All-European team) has been lying
low for a long time. And he had
his breather in Finland, too.
—ο—
Wonder who will emerge the
champeen in that league over
there? And will America find that
she has to get in also? Let us hope
that we can stay out of that game.
Steve Acai seemed very pleased
with his boys after they scored on
the locals in the latter half last
Saturday. "We've scored on them
anyway," he jumped from the
bench and yelled.
Ο nltr fpacVirvinn f »·Λΐνι Vinun nnf fo»·
a sport at State is Fred Cooper. He
is practicing for the basketball
team. But that team has on it some
of the boys from Durham. And the
Durham team has been "hot" for
past few years.
—ο—
With the coming of the cool days
and the blowing of the broomsage
blossoms across the country roads,
we can almost feel that tired ache
in the back of our legs after tramp
ing the fields in search of the
elusive quail for a day.

First Baptist Church mejt in the
home of Mrs. T. O. Corbitt on

recited a very interesting poem.

prayers by each member asking
God's blessings for those on the
foreign fields and asking for
Peace. The closing hymn was
"Blest Be The Tie That Binds".
