As your agents, it is our job to serve you with an accurate presenta tion of facts and a fair, creative interpretation of them. To work constructively for the improve ment of the University community is our sincere aim, and for this advancement of Carolina and her citizenry we promise our full co-operation. Since the Daily Tar Heel is your paper, .we want you to take a part in its publication. We welcome your expressing yourself through the news and open-forum columns. At all times we invite your suggestions and criticisms. The new administration of the paper, follow ing in the footsteps of a giant among college edi tors, is raggedly deficient. Mistakes during our journalistic adventure will be many. Our en deavor, however, is to publish a gradually im proving Daily Tar Heel a paper which, with each issue, will grow in co-operation and service to the University, community. Peace On Earth Tomorrow morning students all over America will "strike' against war. The program here will include speakers and it has been modified from the original parade idea, but essentially the de monstration is a sincere attempt to show the world that students are readv to oppose war propaganda with peace propaganda, war fever with peace fever. No one. can judiciously, uphold war on 'any grounds whatsoever. Yet the newspaper's cry, . one roll of the drum, and one wave of the Star Spangled Banner can overnight bring back the spirit of .'76 and throw us all into a mad frenzy of blind patriotism blind to the selfish motives of the hypocritical few who have shot their spray gun of propaganda and drugged us all into "glor ious" insanity. Probably no one person or group is actually to blame for the forces that send a country into the fields of slaughter, but as a peo ple we are weak so weak that the doom of war looms almost inevitable. To fortify ourselves and insure the mainten ance of our equilibrium we have resorted to anti war education and demonstration. Study devoted to better understanding of in ternational relations and the causes of war, the program of the southern "Y's" this year, the literature flooding the country from peace head quarters all are educational approaches to fight ing the war menace. Stirring speeches by authorities on war prob lems, like Nye's adldress here last year which held 1800 persons in Memorial hall gasping, hap pily combine the educational and demonstrational attacks against war. Whatever form of expression local activities take, it is certainly true that the move is a sin cere one toward a goal we all wish to see ac complished. Tomorrow's strike is aimed at bring ing closer a universal ideal. It is an attempt in the right direction an attempt more visibly ob jective than any recent peace action on this campus. J. M. S. Quill Quips by Mac Smith Work of Art The high school debate finals were finished and everybody had adjourned to Graham Me morial where punch and jolity flowed freely between orators and auditors, judge and judged, winners and losers Dr. Frank had presided at the final debates in Memorial hall a half an hour before between the girls from Kinston and the girls from Union Grove high. Kinston had won. Miss Templeton of the Union Grove team stood in the Graham Memorial crowd after the de bate, proudly near Dr. Frank. As she grew bolder, she told Dr. Graham that her opponents from Kinston had! certainly been good sports, even though they had beaten her . . . The little girl and the smooth little man con tinued talking, Dr. Frank, his hands clasped gently in front. Suddenly the girl from Union Grove stopped. She looked gasping at Dr. Frank. "Gee," she said, "I believe you are the littlest President I have ever seen V Same as above, poet Senior Gene Brooks (so we learn from the library) is look ing for "The Collected Works of Ibid." Memoirs of Melton This fellow James Melton must have been a regular guy to hear Pennsylvania Senior Jake "Smeed" Snyder tell about him. Jake said that Jimmy liked three things about Carolina : the bell tower, the appreciative au dience, and Patsy McMullan, the only girl he had a chance to talk to id'own here. " Melly (Jake Snyder's name for him, maybe) refused to go into Spencer hall when he found out the co-eds were having tea. He was a proficient prof anitarian. He hated Hollywood's plan of giving him four men to follow him at all times: his hair-patter, N his face powdered, his coat brusher, and his regular valet ! Melton confidentially wTarned Jake that when old Lady Mor dan got out there to sing to those Carolina students, swing-, ing her arms and hittin' high C, the audience would certainly start moaning. But that night when Miss Mord'an would come off the stage,. Jimmy would be there at the side to. welcome her. "Al right, my pet," he would say, "Go out and take your bow . . . " With that he would spank her harshly "with a wide flank stroke and send her out under the lights No Geography, he Chubby-Cheeked Bill Robinson tells us that Freshman Marsden Davis long believed Joan of Arc was a native of Arkansas (Ark.) . Melee, or Not Someone was telling us about the organization meeting which he attended. At the meeting there was considerable confu sion with everyone ready to make a speech to complicate mat ters. The socialite rose and made a motion that the group vote on the motion then on the floor. So they all had to vote on the mo tion to vote on the motion then up,, etc., etc. ... A party was being consider ed. The Track Ace rose and de clared forcibly that if the par ty were conducted! in such and such a matter there wouldn't be as many people there, but there would be more of them! ABOUT CAROLINA Little Happenings : of , r Much Interest Edited By Ruth Crowell- J0 -o- The Chi Psi boys spent a mar velous weekend initiating, being initiated, and dancing. Sam Lea ger was in charge of the initia tions and had been in a stir ar ranging for the neophytes to be come active brethren. At the banquet he was called upon to return thanks. Brother Leager bowed his head and boldly ask ed, "Dear God, please thank us. Jean Van Deusen, one of the few co-eds blessed with a bid to the Chi Psi dance Saturday night, met with disaster when she became too familiar with Polly, the fraternity 18-year-old parrot. He bit her finger instead of saying "Gimme a cracker." Raiford Baxley and Warren Haddaway, inhabitants of 14 Steele, have a way of frighten ing off unwelcome visitors that could well be copied. They pro cured the leg of a female skele ton and strung it up on the wall in all of its pristine glory. Bob Perkins says that it is a speci men of which to be proud. Joe Oettinger, tennis-playing co-ed does not approve of visits from little brothers unless they have plenty of cash. The kid came up to see her the other day and invited her out to dinner. She accepted and, after putting in a big order, found out that she had to pay for both of them. At that, the little gold digger was not through with her he bor rowed the last dollar she had to pay his transportation home. Spring has even the hardened professors in her grasp. Dr. Meade, social science professor, came to class yesterday with a sprig of dogwood in his button hole. ' ' . '. The A. T. O. boys are expect ing a "blessed event" and have been for the last week. But somehow it just hasn't arrived. It's a radio-victrola. Norman Rothschild had just been introduced to Joe Sugar man, former editor of the Caro lina Magazine. Friend Roths child pops out with, "Oh, so you are Joe Sugarman. Well, you aren't quite as funny looking as I thought you would be." Miss Helen Hodges was re cently described as being just as beautiful as a co-ed and just as young, but her admirer said the difference is that Miss Helen is efficient. Among the weekenders were Virginia Lee who went to Anna polis and returned full of that old Navy spirit; George Mac Farland and Franklin "Bob" Brown went to Charlotte; Ruth Green and Bill Conner traveled to Washington; and Bill Black left yesterday afternoon for Washington to spend the "week end" as he calls it. Three little lobsters who used to call themselves co-eds return ed to the "Shack" Sunday night after two days of toasting on Myrtle Beach. The three best tans in school are now claimed by Annice Belden, Mary Lindsay, and Frances Johnston. Mary boasts that she held "Franny's" legs as she leaned head first out of the car to take pictures of water that they rode through for two miles. Fowler Spencer and J. B. Powell became tired of Caro lina's own monotony last week end and crashed the Sophomore Hop at our brother institution in Raleigh. No wonder George Puig win ces when we say W. C. U. N. C. He attended the dance there last weekend, brought his date home 30 minutes late, and got himself placed on the W. C. U. N. C. "black list." , Ex-editors Hammer and Page are said to have enjoyed their "Swan Song" Saturday to the utmost. Patricia Dicks reports that the Chi Psi dance was fun but she enjoyed making cinnamon toast in the kitchen a great deal more. G or responde n cc NEW ORGAN To the Editor, The Daily Tar Heel: I have noticed .that Rear's dance orchestra is bringing to the Junior-Senior dances a Ham mond pipeless organ. The Daily Tar Heel has had it to the ef fect that this instrument is pric ed at $15,090. This, I believe, is an error since the prices usually range from about $1,340 to a bout $2,500. $1,500 is probably what is meant. The reader of this letter will no doubt wonder : why I bring up such a small mat ter. This is the reason. Dr. Schinhan of the music de-. partment made the suggestion that it would be a fine thing to - have a Hammond pipeless organ for Memorial hall, instead of that junk box that is over there. He says that this Hammond has a very fine tone, and I know my self fromi reliable information that it is capable of producing 273 million different tone ef fects. Not only would it be great for chapel music and concerts, but also it could be moved about the campus to Graham Memor ial, Bynum gym, and other plac es on the campus where it could be used for small dances. It would also be a welcome addi tion to a dance orchestra on big ger occasions. It can be easily moved since it is pipeless and simply plugs into a socket. I would like to take this op portunity to try to help get this matter before the student body. A large number of students will be exposed to this instrument at the Junior-Senior dances. If the matter is publicized in chapel and later the students see the qualities of this organ, I believe they will form a good opinion of its advantages. If they form a good opinion, and I am sure they will, I wish to call to attention that it can be had very cheaply per student, and could be given as a memorial to the student body. WILLIAM T. WHEAT. Phil Hammer Ends Tar Heel Career Outgoing Editor Published Col orful Paper During Year By J. L. Cobbs Phillip G. Hammer, who re linquished the editorship of the Daily Tar Heel with the Sun day issue, was one of the most colorful and dynamic directors that the paper has had in a num ber of years. B e 1 i e v ins that a campus newspaper should be con structive and alive, Hammer set out, immed iately after taking office. u Iowa University has invented a process of making dynamite out of corn. .... to make the Daily Tar Heel a moving force in the University. As a result of his strenuous cam paigning, a great many of his policies were accepted, and a great many more have been brought to the attention of the University authorities and stu dent body. Backed Graham Hammer backed President Frank Graham both in his ath letic policies and' in his consol idation movement. He made every effort to see that the ideas of the president were presented to the campus accurately and in a fair light. The class lecture calendar, whereby classes of interest to the general student body are an nounced and opened to the pub lic, was instituted as a result of Hammer's agitation. He took the lead in causing the trustees' rule on drinking to be changed to allow the Student Council to use its judgment in determining the penalty. At the same time Hammer wras instru mental in causing the council to take action to abolish fraterni ty Hell Week, and hazing. Hammer's campaigning was marked by refusal to evade is sues or beg questions. He set out to make the Daily Tar Heel play a definite part in moulding campus spirit and opinion, and in doing this he gave the stu dents a wide awake, alive paper.. Tar Heel Cafe (Continued from first page) leased' on $500 cash bond each.. Jones was freed under $250 bond. The cases of Saunders and Allgood were consolidated and tried together yesterday. Jones was tried1 separately on a different charge. Costs It is estimated that Saunders and Allgood will have to make good approximately $300 worth of meal tickets and $200 in bad checks, and pay the court $63.60 costs. The cases yesterday, were pro secuted by Roy W. McGinnis. The three defendants were rep resented by Henry A. Whitfield and C. P. Barringer, the latter from Salisbury. Solicitor Bon ner D. Sawyer took only a minor part in'the prosecution. Anti-War Strike (Continued from page one) toward the removal or reduction of the threat of war as an instru ment of national policy. "However, I do not think that this end can be brought closer by appeal solely to the emotion, but must be rather by encour agement and stimulation of clear thinking and level-headed action on the part of those who will, within the next decade or two, find themselves in positions of responsibility and leadership. I believe that the coming anti war demonstration, based as it is on the sincerity of its spon sors, can be a stimulating influ ence in student thought, provid ing impropriety and excessive emotionalism: are avoided."
