Paul Young and the University Men's Glee Club are to be con
gratulated for the fine program presented Tuesday night. The
program had variety to say the least. Selections ranged from
Handel's "Hallelujah" and the "Coronation Scene" from "Boris
Godounov" to "What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor." A
noteworthy achievement was the-presentation of the difficult
"Gen. Booth Enters Heaven.", The accompaniment of Charles
Stevens, Clyde Wade, Herbert Long," Janie Truitt, Mary String
field, Nat Macon, and Leland Stegemerton contributed much to
the success of that number.
The club members showed a great deal of enthusiasm which
accentuated their excellent vocal ability. Mr. Young gave the
usual excellent performance expected of him.
There is one suggestion that can be made. The concerts and
recitals by the campus musical organizations should be spread
out over a longer period of time instead of all coming in a few
spring weeks.

FIRST CLASS HONOR RATING RECEIVED
BY TAR HEEL IN NATIONAL CONTEST
AMONG COLLEGE NEWSPAPERS
The 1944-45 first semester All American Newspaper Service
has given the Tar Heel a first class honor rating. In comparison
to other newspapers of its size in the nation, the Tar Heel ranks
very high. The Tar Heel was only thirty points below the 800
point level obtained by only eight other college newspapers in
the United States, inv the Tar Heel's group.
The Associated Collegiate Press gave this honor to the Tar
Heel on the basis of coverage, balance, originality, vitality,
treatment, war effort coverage, news stories, features, editing,
headlines, typography, makeup, and printing. Under the cate
gories and subdivisions of vitality, treatment, war effort cov
erage news stories, editing, headlines, typography, makeup,
-tl- rn tt i j j a. t L j

superior." The sports page, the editorials, and the printing were :
considered to be the outstanding features of the paper. The
principal weakness of the Tar Heel was shown to be the lack of
good features.
It can well be saidthat the Tar Heel ranks very favorably
among other college publications. The rating of the Tar Heel

it has received for manyv years. -.
The Tar Heel is now attempting to correct the minor mistakes
that the survey brought to our attention and during the next sev
eral months the Tar Heel hopes to set a standard of journalism
which will make it a pacemaker among the college newspapers
of the nation.
REORGANIZATION OF PHI
James Traynham, the legislator from Battle dormitory, sub
mitted a bill before the student legislature Thursday night
which, if passed, may result in the reorganization of the Phi
lanthropic Assembly. For almost a century and a half the Phi
and its sister society, the Di, have served the students on this
campus as media for the exchange of student opinion.
The Phi is steeped in the mighty tradition which has given
Carolina its inspiration throughout its existence. The student
legislature can take no action which can better help in the pro
motion of an organized, intelligent student opinion than the re
organization of the Phi. '
GRAHAM MEMORIAVCHANGES HEADS
After the customarv two vears of service as director nf Ora-
ham Memorial, Mrs. Martha Vandever (affectionately dubbed
"Mrs. Van") will retire from the Student Union building.
Mrs. Van was the great lady of the Student Union. She was
the one who gave the students cards to play bridge and shooed
them out of the dark rooms on second floor. We will miss her.
At the meeting of the Graham Memorial Board of Directors
Thursday the general sentiment weighed heavily in favor of
having a student director serve for the next two years. Chan
cellor R. B. House admirably pointed out that a student director
(or manager as he is to be called from now on to distinguish
him from the Board of Directors) would best be able to serve the
interests of the student body. Chancellor House went on to say
that the experience that a student would receive from managing
the student building is a great educative opportunity. The
Chancellor is certainly' to be praised for the great confidence
which he has shown in the ability of Carolina students to govern
themselves.
We believe that now is the time for the student body to return
to the days when Graham Memorial was the center of student
life. We hope that the Student Union may soon get into the
swing which is carrying the campus back to the time when it
will serve a campus at peace.
Grant Sorrell, the little praised assistant director of the build-
ing, seems to us to be the logicaliinan to become the next man
ager. Sorrell has shown himself to be very capable in carrying
out his duties, and many of his ideas are already bringing new
life to the recreational facilities of the student body. Showing
a great effort to be fair in dealing with many complicated situa
tions that arise in the student building, Sorrell has marked him
self as having a genuine interest and real "ability.

Adding our voice to a long pre
vailing student howl, we take "is
sue with those professors whose
duties are so "strenuous" they
can't find time to grade their own
quizzes. We know that this does
not apply to all the professors, nor
to all the departments. But in some
classes, notably those of Political
Science, History, and Psychology,
a system exists whereby the pro
fessors make out quizzes, the stu
dents write down the answers, and
a third party does the checking.
Any student complaining about the
way an answer was marked is
usually directed, by the professor,
to the secretary or graduate stu
dent who does the marking.
We do not take issue on those
quizzes which are true-false, and
thus eligible for mechanical grad
ing, but we do feel that when a
Way
person writes out a quiz, using in
his wording the particular inter
pretations which the professor has
rendered in lecture, it is that per
son's right to expect that whoever
grades his paper will be familiar
with the lecture terms also. Too
often that is not the case. Too
often there is no direct way to
register a complaint about a grade,
to find out just why a certain mark
was received. This is unfair. We
do not contend that those who DO
mark the grades are irresponsible. ,
They do the best they can. But it
is not possible for them to be cor
rect completely in grading answers
wrong which, being written in the
professor's particular interpreta
tion, would have been counted right
had the professor done the grad
ing. This is a system which should
be done away with. And the sooner
the better.
The Ram Sees . . .

According to a recent note by Editor Morrison, Rameses is "notorious
for bis mistakes." In today's column the Ram is not correcting one of his
so-called "notorious" errors but rather abjectly apologizing for said news-
paperman's editing of Tuesday's copy. He left the column hanging-in-mid-air.
If you, dear reader, have an ounce of curiosity, you're probably
wondering why the delusions of Willie Wright's brothers at the Sigma
Nu House have exploded in smoke. From last issue's galley proof comes
this explanation: "Attractive Fran Cheshire, the object of Willie's af
fections has exploded the above-mentioned delusions in smoke. So Willie
didn't cater to women; he harbored no longing for them, eh?"
fc At the Sigma Chi House a score of vivacious Carolina coeds are spend
ing their evenings chattering, tripping the light fantastic, and turning
on "ye old charm." They're receiving ratings in the little black books
of good Sigma Chi's, who're proving past masters at personality judging.
From this score will be chosen the queen of the soon-to-be-publicized
Sigma Chi Ball and Derby.
The Beta House is rapidly becoming a menagerie, just four-legged ani

Hipps' canine pet. Doctors-to-be are seen daily administering milk a la

shelters but one CAT. (Newly elected officers there are Guy An
drews; president; and Phil Lanier, vice-president.)

By Pvt. Williams
In a recent letter from home in
which new discoveries of "pecu
liarities" in the city and county
prisons were disclosed, the beauti
ful Ohio Valley was called "the
Valley of the stinking mackerel
shining in the moonlight." Unfor
tunately that title-might be ap
plied to most of our city, county
and state politics. '
We in the South have suffered
particularly since we were "brought
back into our brother's house" from
a series of leeches who in order to
perpetuate themselves in power
have played upon the most base
prejudices of the people and have
tried to drag a great "nation down
into the filth in which these "ser
vants of the people" dwell. .
It is not that the politicians are
entirely to blame, for it was an in
different electorate that paved the
way for Huey Long, Talmadge and
their like. We here at UNC are
partially to blame. We spend much
time debating national and inter
national politics and the results of
such interest are men like our late
President and the late Wendell
Willkie. If our nation is to be a
world leader it is not enough to
crush Germany and Japan and
their respective ideologies, we must
crush the . swindlers and liars who
infest our city halls and state capi
tols and too often get into Con
gress. We must take an interest in
local politics.
Let's start reading about our
hometown officials in our hometown
newspapers. It has been said that
all politicians are crooked, but we
should remember that no politician
is any more crooked than the vot
ers let him be.
Let's resolve that when we take
our place in our respective com
.munities we will also accept our
,duty of seeing that the commun
ity "servants" really serve the
.community. When we fight crooked
politics we also fight race preju
dice and its fellow parasites.
Reading The Exchanges
By Beverly Eisenberg
, From the "-University of Ken
tucky Kernel" comes the story of a
woman who decided it was time for
her children to learn the facts of life.
She waited until her brother, a Ma
rine, came home, and asked him to
tell the children all about the birds
and the bees. The Marine, supposed
ly a Kentucky graduate, took the
kids aside and asked them if they
knew the facts of life. "Sure," said
the youngest, "we know all about
men and women and sex and every
thing." "Well," said the Marine, "it's the
same way with the birds and bees."
Chicken every Sunday is almost a
certainty at William and Mary ac
cording to the "Flat' Hat." With
the present meat shortage so acute,
the college farm with its 16,000
chickens is assuming immediate and
practical importance.
"The Reveille" tells of a Latin
American student who went to the
registrar's office at The University
of Louisiana to check on his credits
before registering for the third
quarter. He wanted to be sure that
he was scheduling the proper sub
jects so that he could graduate the
following quarter without overbur
dening himself. When he got there,
he was told that he'd completed the
requirements for graduation a quar
ter back. v v
"The Purdue Exponent reports that
in a Shakespeare class, a coed in
all seriousness stated that she
thought the tragedy of Hamlet was
similar to Camille because they both
centered around the theme that the
main character did not realize that
he had tuberculosis. She backed up
her conclusion by quoting the fam
ous soliloquy from Hamlet, "To be
or not to be."
"The Orange and White" of the
University of Tennessee claims this
happened to a star of our football
team last fall. In order to be eli
gible for a game, it was necessary
for tim to pass a certain history
test. The professor, a true Tar
Heel, thought he'd make it easy for
the boy so he only asked one ques
tion, and that was "What is the
capital of North Carolina?"
"Pikeville," the boy replied.
"Well," replied the professor, "if
you had answered correctly, you
would have had 100. Since Pikeville
is only 15 miles from Raleigh, IH
give you 85 and pass you."
And from Lenoir Rhyean of Le
. noir Rhyne college comes this piece
of corn "
Visitor: "How did you find your
steak?"
Diner: "It was an accident. I
just happened to move that piece of
potato and there it was!"
The South has been betrayed!
In a recent issue of the Temple
University News appear the fol
lowing quotations. The statements
were made by one of Temple's new
professor's and a former instructor
at State College in Raleigh. He
says, "In the South the girls are
beautiful but non-vocal, whereas
the northern girls take a definite
part in discussions and are well in
formed." He also declared that
northern students, as a whole, are
more alert than Southerners.

Do the above remarks hold water
when applied to Sim Smith and his
newly pinned love? Rameses

This week-end holds much - in
