PARAGRAPHICS
So the Publications Union Board has decided
there are too' many keys to the journalistic
situation.
The nobodies accuse the Interfraternity
Council of being anybodies. Any argument
along this line will lead nowhere, we don't
think.
'Denying the possibility of the dance being
'sticky Class President Clyde Mullis asks the
freshmen to secure dates if possible." In
other words, it'll be a good dance if possible.
De-Militarizing
A Slow Process
The anti-war expression yesterday morning
was gratifying to all concerned. An orderly and
well-conducted demonstration, the appeal for
peace was well received and, we believe, appre
ciated and digested.
An emotional or hysterical demonstration has
not half the effect of a quiet and sincere attempt
to apply thought to the problem. On the other
. hand, it is this hysteria, this propagandizing ap
peal, which drags thousands upon thousands in
to war when the emotions of a nation let go
under the war strain.
Where does the difference lie, in these two
appeals, one so effective, for war, and the other,
seemingly iutne, against it r
When the war propaganda sweeps a nation in
a flood of emotional rallying to the cause, there
is something to follow it up, something which
makes the propaganda seem real and true and a
part of patriotic response to a nation's needs.
But when we shout against war from the plat
jform, it is an ephemeral voice and soon forgot
ten. For in our comparative isolation in this
country, when news reports of impending war
are so many and so often confused, the whole
fight against armed conflict seems futile, foolish,
and unnecessary.
Consequently, it takes a steady, slow building-up
process to rouse the people to the realiza
tion that war is hell, that war is unnecessary.
And this slow process must, to be effective, be
the result of , sincere thought and conscientious
effort. Then, and only then, can there ever be
formed a unified stand for peace which can and
must nom us position in tne iace ot tne nysteria
' bitten "nationalists" who, with the munitions
makers and the international ambassadors-of-ill-will,
strive to stir us to fight, for their own
profit or baseless ideals or economic benefit.
It Has Its 1
Disadvantages
The move on the part of the Interfraternity
Council to have chapter presidents represent
the ;f raternities is both o-ood nnrl hairl.
. The Council's authority might be made more
qbvious, its business hastened, its impotence
somewhat removed, but what about next year,
when a hew set of chapter presidents gets
together to do business ? Being inexperienced
at Council work, although ostensibly skilled in
the fraternity game; they might be at a slight
disadvantage.
Nevertheless, the advantages ar.e easily ap
parent and it is encouraging to see a spirit of
improvement, or tendencies toward , improve
ment, by such a representative campus crrourj.
When Will
We Grow Up? ,
In the spring a young man's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of Hell Week, paddles, and
poor, downtrodden, abused and misunderstood
freshmen. It seems that once each year, along
with the budding out of the trees and flowers,
mans more savage instincts experience a re
awakening, and manifest themselves in the phe
nomenon of college life known as Hell Week.
This season of the year does bring out a lot of
laughs, it is true, but there is one aspect of it
which has neither humor nor disciplinary value.
That is, the old barbaric custom of paddling.
Education may be absorbed, Joe College may be
come Mr. Joseph' J. 'College, -Jr., college life may
come to mean more than merely a series of
dances and parties, but still we revert to the
childish, savage, ridiculous, and thoroughly in
supportable rite of the paddle. Our hope for the
future of the human race has received a slight
boost in the knowledge that there are some fra
ternities and organizations on the campus with a
mature enough viewpoint to dispense with their
paddles, but there is still to be heard at this sea
son the loud whacks of wood meeting flesh.
While there is no excuse whatever for pad
dling in any organization on the campus, there
is less than no excuse for the existence of such
a custom in the supposedly honorary societies.
Why honor, distinction, achievement should be
rewarded with the childish, undignified, and use
less paddle-waving is a thing which is quite be
yond our' feeble powers of comprehension. And
why a new fraternity brother should be Wel
comed with a lusty swat on the rear, is another
incomprehensible item in the great life known as
college days, or should we say college daze.

We like
To Relax
We submit our rather tardy felicitations to the
management of Graham Memorial for getting
back into the swing of Sunday afternoon concerts
in the lounge. Of course, the presentation was
in conjunction with a student entertainment
series but we hope that was not the only reason
for its being sponsored. There is widespread
approbation and appreciation on the part of stu
dents for Sunday afternoon programs.
Last spring the lounge was consistently crowd
ed with students and faculty and townspeople,
who found great rest and enjoyment in the com
fortable chairs and attractive surroundings. It
is rather interesting to notice that many of the
busiest and most efficient undergraduate leaders
are conspicuously relaxing on the big sofas when
the sweet music and early evening, combine to
end up a justly-famous Chapel Hill Sunday. .
Tomorrow afternoon the choral club will pre
sent a concert in Hill Music hall and again we
express our appreciation. Hill Music hall is,
also, a comfortable place and it means a lot to
some of us harried students to stretch out and
enjoy some real 'music once in a while.
Death in
The Mausoleum
Our stalwart debaters battled manfully
against N. Y. U. recently on this query: Re
solved, that Japan's policy in the Far East is
comparable to the Monroe Doctrine of the United
States.
The question is of momentous import. Na
tions will bite pencils nervously, stay up nights,
become cross and anxious in this state of hor
rible suspense. Something must be done.
But Chapel Hill is impervious. We are dullards
here. All we can do is ask: do you wonder Gerrard
hall looks like a mausoleum on debate nights ?
The Truth
Is Desired
"Some 95 per cent of the advertising is done by
a comparatively small group of people and they
sell over 80 per cent of the goods," replied Mr.
Sully, representative of the National Cash Regis
ter Co., when asked what he considered the best
argument to advance to prospective advertisers.
Speaking here before a class of commerce and
journalistic students, Mr.-Sully stated that ad
vertising was a requisite part of the structure
of all successful concerns. The growth of his
own company, he declared, bore a close parallel
to the expenditures allotted for advertising.
With the augmenting number of mediums
radio, theatre, billboard, newspapers, and maga
zines the merchant must bear in mind the class
of people whom he desires to reach and use the
medium which will prove most effective.
While admitting that bad advertising is bet
ter than no advertising, Mr. Sully declared, of a
heterogeneous group of people which were inter
viewed, that "57 per cent of them said they
didn't believe what they saw in advertisements
and 90 per cent of the people would like to see
reliable information given."
In recent years, much impetus has been given
to make advertising more valid; one of the most
notable actions has been that of the Federal
Trade Commission and their issuance of "cease
and desist" orders. Resultant has been the con
formity; of .many flagrant violaters to the new
standards.' ' -:
DOG HAIRS . '
Faculty Chairman Harlahd of
the Student Entertainment Com
mittee tells us that the program
note's for the University of
Michigan Little Symphony's
night concert were written by
the University's own Thor John
son. The squib about Johann
Strauss, whose overture to the
operetta "Die Fledermaus" they
played contained the first con
scious humor we've ever seen on
a student entertainment pro
gram. In case you missed it,
here it is: "In 1872, ' Strauss
came to America to play in Bos
ton accompanied by his wife
and a poodle. The latter was
not only a companion, but was of
great service to Mme. Strauss in
fulfilling the requests of innum
erable ladies who wrote ardent
letters to the great violinist and
composer in which they begged
for a lock of his hair."
NOTE OF NOSTALGIA
Maybe you'll appreciate the
annual wonder that is spring in
Chapel Hill a. little more after
this comment from a Carolina
graduate who is now in New
York : "I can't conceive of spring
weather except that mothed did
send me a box of lilacs several
days ago. I adore them, and I
suppose she was tired of having
me write about the disagreeable
weather -except that mother did
dead now, but I haven't the
nerve to throw them, out."
From which it would appear
that no matter how frenzied and
over-scheduled the spring quar
ter is here, we've a lot to be
thankful for.
i
WHO'D RATHER BE WRONG THAN
BE PRESIDENT?
Now that what little political
uproar there was has subsided,
it's seasonable to remind you
that Phi Gamma Delta's effi
cient," omnipotent Herb Taylor,
unquestioned head of the Uni
versity Party, last year won the
presidency of the law school run
ning independently against a
frame-up !
THE MATTER OF PEACE
When the Presbyterian
church's brilliant young Eng
lishman, Donald Stewart, ap
proached the microphone to
speak in Memorial hall yester
day at the protest against war,
somebody in the back of the au
dience shouted "Sissy!" We're
not much given to moralizing,
but it's the opinion of this de
partment that that vociferous
imbecile ought to be taken out
and hanged as quietly as possi
ble.
Any man with an idea de
serves a hearing. This, in his
own words, was Stewart's : "For
God's sake, let us die for that
which doesn't mock us when
we're through!"
LETTER TO THE EDITORS
We can't resist the tempta
tion to quote a little from a re
cent letter of Don Shoemaker's :
"Having been an editor, let me
warn you against such venal
sins as (1) taking yourself too
seriously; (2) not taking your
self seriously enough, (3) hay
ing opinions, (4) not having
opinions, and (5) worrying
about anything but the crease in
your slacks . . ."
Anti-War Rally
(Continued from page one)
to die, then let's die for some
thing that won't mock us."
Secondly, the sovereignty of
states must be challenged. "The
anarchy of irresponsible states
must give way to the control of
nations by an international
law," declared Mr. Stewart.
Thirdly, we must say farewell
to isolation policies. "The world
is a boarding house," he said,
"and it matters what others do
in it. Uncle Sam can't expect
eternal food in the dining room
if John Bull or any other plays
hell in the larder."
Peace Without Victory
In the last place, we must
create the will to peace without
victory. Treaties must 1 quit
favoring the "haves" and at
tempting to justify the "have
nots" for sooner or later other
wars-will be the result, indicat
ed Mr. Stewart. "Conference ta
bles will do . better when we
have less Shylocks," he stated.
Concluding his vigorous, ad
dress, the Reverend Mr. Stewart
declared that "if we believe that
peace is better than war, that
conversation is better than fisti
cuffs,' that understanding our
neighbors is better than killing
them and mean it, then we can
help to make a better and better
world if we wish to, where wars
shall decreasingly be just be
cause they are not our way, and
because we will not be used by
others in that way to settle dif
ferences between nations."
Dave Lewis Speaks
Carolina Student Dave Lewis
took the stand and with several
biting remarks, picked up the
intense feeling where Stewart
and Russell had brought it.
Lewis' talk concluded the mass
meeting. The anti-war move
ments questionnaire sheets were
distributed among the audience
who repaired to their classes to
continue the protest against war
discussion.
Hammer's anti-war-group-sponsored
meeting was duplicat
ed throughout the whole Unit
ed States in .various colleges and
universities. Yesterday's pro
gram, originally planned for an
open-air affair in front of South
building, had to be moved in on
account of the weather.
Alumni Meetings
(Continued from page one)
Carolina at the meeting of the
Louisiana alumni in New Or
leans yesterday.
