WINSLOW Friday, May 5, 1933 A Lesson To Be Learned - The Junior-Senior dance situation should serve as a lesson to the members of. each class in the University. The present muddle has been brought about not by the corrupt practices of any individual or any group of individuals, but simply due to the fact that none of the classes have a definite framework set up by which expenditures or any other class action is governed. Now everything is run according to custom. Because no class in the past has referred any itemized list of proposed expenditures to the class as a whole for its ratification, because the executive committees of the classes have as sumed dictatorial powers in the past, and be cause one man has been allowed to negotiate with, and make contracts with an orchestra on his own account, this year the same procedure is carried on and when the committees are ques tioned, they laugh and say that "last year's committee did this, why can't we ?" The executive committees are appointed for the most part as dictated by the frame-up chiefs as a cut of the political pie and do not represent the class opinion. What the committees decide, that is, these political committees, does not re fleet the class position as they are supposed to do. Granted that a class of some three hundred is too unwieldy an organization to be run prop erly without an executive committee, still it is essential to have some sort of class ratification The present junior class realized this fact Mon day night and voted that no contract could be entered into involving class money without the consent of the class. Some definite framework of operation should be adopted and the following plan is offered for consideration. The presidents of the classes should appoint executive committees as usua with a general chairman and a financial chair man. This financial chairman should confer with the class president and R. H. Sherrill to draw up a budget of expenditures of the class for the year. The budget report should include an itemized account of fixed expenditures of the 1 class (student government fee and Yackety Yack space for each member) and also an itemized account of ; the uncertain charges (smokers, printing, orchestra, decorations, etc.). This report should be set up and gone over in executive meeting and then put before the class at the first smoker and properly explained by the financial chairman. The class should be al lowed to discuss the budget, increasing or de creasing it as the members desire, before adopt ing it officially. After its adoption by the class, the committees working on expenditures can tell from the start how the class feels toward the debts to be incurred. If, in the case of an orchestra or other needs, the committee finds that a little more money , is needed than the appropriation calls for, it should advise the president to call another meeting to propose the more expensive items. If the class should vote to take them, then and then only would they be duly authorized. Superb : Inconsistency ' To those students who believe that the ex penditure of $1,100 for a dance orchestra would be extremely tactless in the face of the Uni versity's manifest financial need, the last meet ing of the senior class was, to say the least, dis appointing. Not only does it seem that the two classes junior and senior cannot reach any definite agreement as to how the dance will be financed or as to what orchestra' will be en gaged, but the adoption by the latter class of the plan of going in debt $150 on uncollected ac counts indicates that the seniors not only wish to have an expensive orchestra, but wish to have one that costs more than they can pay. The senior class has. cash on hand to the amount of $305.07.- Yet its share of the joint class dance is over twice that amount. And to make up the deficit it has proposed that the class borrow $150 on uncollected accounts, levy fifty cents on each member, and sell two hundred bids to supply the remaining amount needed. What with borrowing, assessing, and converting the dance into a half script, half class affair, the seniors are about to pay a dear price for Bert Lown and his so-called Biltmore orchestra. What is more startling is the absolute lack of agreement between the-two classes. 'Whereas the juniors . voted Monday night against the SPEAKING .' the CAMPUS MIND The Portrait Of a Tragedy No one who saw the moving picture "Caval cade" could have escaped being impressed by the picture's powerful argument against war. There have been many pictures that have portrayed with far more detail the actual horrors, but none have so completely brought out the chief tragedy of war its utter futility. We see thousands of troops pouring year after year by a crucifix and the ruins of a cathedral, a symbolic but terrible challenge to the teach ings mankind professes and violates so univer sally. We see women singing men into uniform and stirring them up to die so that other women, wives and mothers, can mourn them, irony of the bitterest sort. The pathetic efforts of blind men to learn basket weaving, their occupation for the remainder of their lives, demonstrates the reward of heroism and bravery so soon for gotten. .. And we see the reactions to the four-year struggle, the degeneration of moral fibre, the desire for a good time and sensual pleasure, en gendered by the terrible cheapening of life and ideals. The turning aside from God, the empty churches and the growth of every manner of ;-- J,- -,4-.,.J- T j ioiu uiu uiscuuieut axe nere xvr us to see, an accurate picture of the times from which we suffer yet. But most thought-compelling of all are the scenes of the military cemeteries, the little stone crosses in unending rows that mark the graves of ten million dead. Germans, French, English, and Americans, cut off in the prime of their usefulness while over their mouldering corpses militarists proclaim the virtues of some new poisonous gas or the killing power of a new gun. And then we see the'broken homes, parents without their sons, girls without their beaus, we see examples, but they are examples of mil lions upon millions, a wave' of human misery that cannot be expressed in words. The horror of war has been recited both long and vigorously but in the words of the Chinese proverb "a picture is worth a thousand words" and a picture such as "Cavalcade" surpasses in eloquence and convincingness the sum total, of a thousand orations and a thousand essays and reaches a thousand times as many people. .F.A. Roosevelt's Initiative - To the question, "Has Congress abdicated?" Walter Lippmann replies negatively. Criticism has been directed at Congress for allowing President Roosevelt to rush through measures without sufficient debate and without fully de fining the purposes for which the legislation-is intended. The only piece of legislation which Congress has passed without full knowledge of the prob lems and consequences involved was the bank ing bill, says Lippmann. Beer, unemployment and farm relief, and inflation are old topics for Congressional discussion. In a crisis like the present one, Lippmann continues, it is neces sary that considerable discretionary powers be given to the administration to coordinate and fit : legislation to an uncertain situation. Fur thermore, definite bills would have required end less months to reach final enactment. As Lippmann says, this criticism of Congress and the administration arises from a sound democratic instinct, which is, and always should be, suspicious of centralized power." But, he rightly concludes, "in the use of temporary powers in an emergency there is nothing of dictatorship." Rather, for the first time since Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson the nation has a leader who can really lead : lead Congress, lead the nation as a wjiole. President Roosevelt knows, from the experience of the past, that if Congress is left to its own resources its mem bers will procrastinate and squabble merrily among themselves while the nation goes to hell ' It is one of the faults of the American govern mental system of checks and balances that the legislature , is provided with no intelligently directed leadership and that the legislative and executive branches of the government fail to coordinate their functions properly. The nation has shown visible signs of encouragement be cause it has a leader with courage to rectify this fault with the mere strength of his own char acter as a leader. E.C.D. To the Editor, I Daily Tar Heel: Recently, at N. C. C. W., the co-ed group which numbers less than 150 students organized a Y. M. C. A. which once a month meets jointly with the Y. W. C. A. This item, together with the fact that in the past interest in Y' work has been evidenced by a few co-eds on the campus, leads one to wonder if a Y. W. C. A. would be welcomed here or if such an organization is needed at the present time. I believe an attempt was made to supply such a need, if indeed it existed, last year, only to fail. Perhaps a more prac tical idea might be worked out along the lines of the organiza tion at Greensboro. Any inter ested co-ed or co-eds might meet with the Junior-Senior cabinet of the Y. M. C. A. If the Junior-Senior cabinet has ever ex tended such an invitation the fact has escaped my attention. Perhaps it has failed in this re spect. If such an order of things found favor with all parties it might eventually lead to a regu- arly organized Y. W. C. A. However, there is a vast amount of drift wood among the various extra-curricular or ganizations on the campus at present and any addition to the supply on hand, would be only so much more flotsom. If the Y. M. C. A. on this campus is fail ing in this respect let someone explain why an attempt has not been made to offer the women attending the University an op portunity for such an expres sion, un the other hand. I do not believe the campus should have a Y. W. C. A. whether the co-eds want it or not. If there are any women in this Univer sity who are not too busy siping dopes at Pritchard-Lloyd to be interested in a Y. W. C. A. let them make themselves known. R. L.
