PARAGRAPHICS
The Student council has learned one lesson
in this Buccaneer affair: even the best laid
plans of student government go wrong sum
mer the time. '
Some are born, great, some achieve great
ness, and some get their names in the paper
by being in the infirmary.
In case you're a cashier, you've just got to
hand it to these bank robbers.
A Hard
Lesson
When the Student council retracted its former
plans for the bedraggled Buccaneer, it presented
a remarkably interesting case to a curious stu
dent body.
In the first place, of course, the revocation
seems to bring out strongly the fact that nobody
knows exactly who runs this enviable system of
student self-government." After abolishing the
comic in the summer months and sticking to
this decision while creating a new comic to take
the place of the discarded magazine, the counci
suddenly realized that it hadn't the power to ere
ate a new publication because students them
selves have-the right to aay where their publi
cations fees go.
The fees, we understand, were collected
through the business office against the order of
an administrative head who, taking the council's
summer action to mean definitely no comic maga
zine for this campus, advised the collectors that
the Buccaneer's share should be deducted from
the $2.00 fee. On top of this, the Student coun
cil comes out and recommends that the Publica
tions Union board allot "part of the $2.00 fee
that it sees fit" to the revised magazine.
The Publications Union board, as a matter of
fact, has nothing to do with allocating student
fees. Its functions revolve about carrying out
the business end of the publications, routine mat
ters into which Student council recommendations
regarding fee allocation have no place.
The whole thing boils down to ignorance on
the part of the Student council in this particu
lar instance, ignorance not only of its own powers
bUt Of the TlOWers nf fling a afurlonf rri.rtnr, ,,,
posedly under its jurisdiction, it the new maga
zine gets financial support, it gets the fees ori
ginally meant for the old Buccaneer.
The excuse for rescinding their .previous action
was a technicality involving these fees. . But it
is evident that the poor council, criticisms rain
ing upon it from all sides for its giddap-and-
wnoa series oi actions ana retractions, was play
ing the role of a scape-goat, its decisions being
so bandied about to satisfy the letter of the law.
The amputation of a campus' periodical involves
more than the mere severance of it. A hard les
son, which we are weary of reciting, has been
taught all parties concerned. Both the admin
istration and the council will profit from it.
No Sour .
Drapes, Please '
We see by those papers again that Princeton
and Yale men set the fashions for this great
American institution familiarly known as the
campus. We certainly take off our hats (model
To. 82736 Yale 1906, of course) to the boys of
Uncle Eli arid Old Nassau. It is mighty, mighty
nice to have someone else design our garments
so that all we have to do is to go down to one
of the locaUprice-war stores and Jay down the
check without even bothering to count the but
tons on the sleeved. .
Especially on this grand and glorious old
southernoutlay are we thankful for our indus
trious brothers who fix the cut of our coat-tails.
When it rains we put on Princeton pants, (style,
of 1925, not to be confused with later, baggier
models) and Yale coat (of 1916 but what's the
difference?) "arid slouch around gleefully. And
when we get all dolled 'up, we hike up our Yale
slacks and slide gracefully .into our Princeton
jacket and take the North Carolina woman to a
Hollywood movie.
It's all too grand, this intercollegiate intimacy.
Education
Ether Way
Hendrik Willem Van Loon, who told us more
about geography in one book than we. learned
m a half-dozen prep school volumes, is all set
to conduct the first "air university" in the his
tory of education, which means, of course, in the
history of the world because we are being con
stantly told that man's education rightfully be
gan with Adam.
This "air university" idea,, utilizing the 7-tuber
downstairs, strikes us as being about the best
thing we ve heard in a long time. We can now
sleep during the lecture, razzberry conveniently
without apprehension, nod vigorously without
getting a wad of paper in the neck for booting
the professor, and do all manner of things edu
cational.
There will be no Buccaneers to abolish, no stu
dent councils to get tangled up, no interf rater
nity councils to forget rules in fact, there won't
be anything except yourself and education, which
pair when gotten together ought to result in
twice the number of mental giants as are being
produced under this antiquated system.
Cleanliness
Is Next to . . .
The so-called Carolina gentleman is very much
m evidence these days, especially down Graham
Memorial ways. After he has spent a few hours
reading the New Yorker and listening to the
exploits on one "Schoolboy" Howe, he often feels
the urge to wash his hands and that's where
the rub comes in. . .
Someone or maybe he has a friend or two
has taken quite a fancy to the face towels in
the men's rest room; such a fancy, in fact, that
he (or they) has taken the trouble to disengage
a few of them from the rack and cart them off.
The handlers of the union are justly upset and
m a heat about it all.
We don't think it imminent enough to hire a
special "Face Towel Guarder Over" to natrol
the men's quarters, but, being more or less a
Carolina gentleman ourselves, we feel that such
evils ought to be remedied. Of course, you can't
lead the nag to water and make him quench his
thirst so it doesn't look like you can make a
gentleman leave the towels where they belong
after he has wiped the dirt off his hands. And
we all are gentlemen at Carolina.
Training for a
Life Assurance
Intentions, announced by the extension divi
sion under R. M. Grumman, of local Red Cross
officials to offer a first aid course as a nart of
the. University curriculum are right in line with
the recent progress made in the curriculum set
ups to prepare students for life.
When the number of people in the United
States accidentally killed every year is twice the
number of Americans killed in actual combat in
the World War, the need to teach individuals
what to do when accidents . happen is clearly
seen. Putting it gruesomely, there's no use edu
eating our youth in preparation of life if 100.000
people are being sacrificed each year because of
carelessness; the preparation, obviously, should
include instructions in how to live before advice
on what to do if you do live.
he majority of these 100,000 accidental
deaths are considered to be due directly to gross
ignorance of steps to take when accidents occur.
We believe college courses setting forth thesp
steps, will prepare the youth of today so that the
death and accident rates of tomorrow cannnt
claim so many sacrifices with ignorance as the
cause.

BRAINS IN BLOOM
You may or may not know
that all students in engineering
are required to take public
speaking. One engineer we
heard about got signed up for
it this quarter, along with an un
usually heavy schedule in his
own department. So he went to
the Dean, and explained that
his course was too heavy, and
asked permission to drop the
public speaking.
But you have to have it, you
know," the Dean objected.
"I just can't take it this quar
ter, Dean. I've explained" my
position too much other work."

Virgil Weathers, president of the student hnnV
is athlete enough to realize that what the crowd
on the sidelines has to do with the spirit at the
games is really what determines lots of the.

Yesterday morning he asked the freshmen fnr
their co-operation in cheering at today's game
and at the pep rallies. It's not only because this
ail-southern star advised it but also because it's
essential if we would "Vault the Vols and Tak
the South" that we suggest you yell your fool

GREEN SHEEP IN
GREEN PASTURES
And from the Washington
Post comes this item about the
freshmen at Princeton : "One of
the freshmen declared he was
born in 1931 . . . Another, when
asked if he intended to work for
a B.A. or a B.S. degree asked
which was easier to get. And
still another gave the number of
his roommates as 211. It seems
he had counted every freshman
in the registration room." Which
reminds us of one of our own
freshmen who came on his ma
triculation card to the blank to
be filled in by the degree he
wanted. "Say," he demanded pf
an upperclassman in all inno
cence, "do you get a degree
every year ?"
SALESMANSHIP -
One smart freshman we know
of nearly got mobbed when h
tried to peddle cigarettes to
some of the b'oys who were bum

of them, a pack of cigarettes in
each hand, repeating over and
over again: "Get a lift with
Camel."

A wide divergence of opinion
was .disclosed between Chief
Justice Walter P. Stacy, head of
the Federal relations board and
Carolina alumnus, and Arthur
H. Young, vice-president of the
United States Steel corporation,
when each spoke his mind Wed
nesday on what constitutes legal
collective bargaining.
Justice Stacy questions the
legal integrity of the plan, de
signed by Young for the vast U.
S. Steel plants, which hereto
fore has functioned to the satis
faction of both employer and
employes.
Labor Organization
Briefly, this plan is the organ
ization of the workers on a lartre
scale without the usual formal
union ties. Justice Stacv holds
that ahy such group lacks the
legal right to sign a contract in
any agreement between capital
and organized labor.
The predictions of nolitical
analysists are that the result
will be the formal unionizatinn
of the steel organizations.
