There have been attempts to change the stan dards of Phi Beta Kappa, set up some organiza tional work for the honorary order to do, prepare for regular meetings of the members each quar ter, Old members have lately been notably in active even concerning attendance at meetings. Whatever is going to be done must be done to night, even if that doing amounts only to the last suggestion of arranging: for. regular meetings when the acts of the executive trio can be passed upon by the active members. Old members must be on hand tonight or there'll be nothing done and a whole new year's program of ineffective gibbering left our lot. O Piece Of Mind by Edwin J. Hamlin : Orchids To The Committee Another Junior-Senior weekend has come and gone. Anotner weekend of Tmports and cor sages, bottles and automobiles, dancing and dat ing has passed under the bridge of college ex perience and we are left with only fond memories and empty pocket books. Some of us are sadder and wiser. Others of us are happy and still fool ish. But what does it all matter? The dances were good, the "swing and sway" of Sammy Kaye came up to and exceeded our expectations, and a good time was had by alL What more could be wanted. And while we are on the subject we want to congratulate the combined Junior-Senior dance committee for a good job. Last year saw the upper-classmen inflicted with a fifth rate band with the usual appropriations and everybody was dis satisfied. Juniors and Seniors who paid their good money in fees and voted for a class dance expected at least a fair orchestra. They didn't get it and told the campus about it. The commit tee this year set out to do a better job. With funds limited they had to "shop around consider ably before finally signing up an acceptable or chestra. Sammy Kaye proved the answer to the committee's prayers. The music was good, every body had a good time, and the set was a success. We offer congratulations.

Walter Creech wrote one of the plays, and a fellow named Moliere wrote the other one. That the plays are entirely in French is suffi cient to remind most of us that we have failed to do any "brushing up" in that (or any other for eign language) which we permitted to lapse af ter the last freshman or sophomore course in it. There is Le Cercle Francais, but yes, and the Deutsche Verein too, but even our best inten tions suffered death at the hands of successive quarters filled witlTmore specialized courses and more glittering extra-curricular activities. Some of the best hours of bur youthful lives are spent studying the mechanisms of a foreign tongue. Most of us go on to take a survey litera ture course in it, few further, either in academic study or by informal usage of the language. Be side the point is the suggestion that we may not always get the best preparation in the world, what is so pertinent is the fact that we do not make use of what preparation we do have, once we have traversed the correct curriculum numbers. One of the more useless appellations is that of 'Bohemian" to those who attempt to gain pro ficiency in a foreign language by attempting to speak it while they are undergraduates. We have only to look for the broadest and greatest scholars and statesmen and we will find them multi lingual almost without exception. The skull duggery of tomorrow evening may not be the zenith of cultural entertainment, but it will be a relief from a single-tongued campus. V - .. ' r.-t-- In last week's column, asked Colonel Pete Ivey from down Graham we Memorial way the reason for the abrupt cessation of the nightly swing ses sions in the union and this week the fun-loving director hasjcomplied with our request' to enlighten a waiting campus. The Colonel's epistle follows. Dear Sheriff: I have read your very good column in the Tar Heel in which you ask me how come J ain't done thus and so. You ask why did we stop having the after-dinner orchestra concerts. in the lounge. Now Sheriff, when a horse breaks his leg the only thing to do is shoot him. When the bands first started playing, there were big crowds. Af ter about three or four weeks the crowds began to dwindle, and one night only four people show ed up to listen to the musicians and they just looked in on their way to the bowling alleys. There wasn't much point in my-continuing to pay out students' money when the students didn't come to get the benefits. That's the only reason I know, and I hope you're not mad at me. Anyhow, what orchestra are you thinking about becoming manager of? Your friend, Pete Ivev oyeott . . Maybe A SANE VIEW OF THE NEW SHOW rjTWO NIGHTS of the Wigue and Masque run have already been completed. A sympathetic campus has favorably received this the first pro duction of a re-incarnated organization. Entirely unrelated to the Haymakers, at the will of both, the new production outfit has been student-driven all the way. Any evaluation of the work should be made in that light. Judged by cur rent movie-musicals, whether you like them or not, "Say the Word, with pleasantly good songs is easily eligible for comparison; which is saying a lot. It is a splendid display of undergraduate energy and ought to receive intense encourage ment. The Wigue and Masque must go en. The action of the local Merchants' association in refusing to allow its members to advertise in a proposed Wigue and Masque program for its current production is hard to understand in view of the fact that most of them are wholly or part ly dependent on student patronage for their busi ness. It seems strange that they should deliber ately attempt to antagonize student groups such as the Wigue and Masque organization by refusing to cooperate m the matter of advertising. Is it that the association thmks it can get along with out student business or does it think it can bull doze the students into accepting what they have to offer -without taking a stand against it? We don't know but we believe they are making a mis take whichever attitude they hold. In bur opinion it would be to the best interests cf, the Merchants association to cater to student desires and wishes whenever practicable: for the welfare of both. Campaigns to boycott certain merchants for un fair practices in the past have sometimes proven successful. The Wigue and Masque project seems to us to be worthy of support from all sides.

Let the Daily Tab Heel keep your friends at home informed. couere Birthday Greetings Today Joseph Reid Fletcher Grover Clarence Ritchie Jr. Robert Ward Whitley Louis George Wflkins FREE AIR Over in Raleigh at State col lege, Charles Stinette, Jr. is "on the carpet" because he criticized the Military ball and the R. O. T. C. unit as well. In an open forum- letter to 'The Techni cian" Charley said the tea dance was outstanding because of its "naive disregard for the stark reality of war." Charley contin ued : "Ironic is it to reflect that the same trumpet which while he is dancing inflates his ego tonight will tomorrow call forth the soldier and drive him forth to God knows what hell." The letter was printed. R. O. T. C. Colonel C. S. Caffery read it. Charley Stinette has been called for an accounting. The letter will be referred to Dean Harrelson as soon as the Dean comes back to Raleigh. Read Charley's letter and see what is so objectionable. Indeed it is ironic that the music so soothing to dancers may tomor row call us to destruction. He characterized war as some form of hell but Sherman said that too and was immortalized for it. Maybe Colonel Caffery objects to the swearing, if such it be. But ifs the first time in quite a while an army officer n been offended by cuss-words. Or maybe certain organiza tions and certain individuals aren't strong enough to take a little criticism. Maybe the R. O. T. C. is sacred and we ought to jail people who suggest that its members may some day go to war. There's one thing students at Chapel Hill can learn from "The Case of Charley Stinette."
