WORLD NEWS
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT ' -CRIPS,
CRAMMING THIS WINTER?
You' can generally find friends to help you hate
Jews, help you keep the subject' off the Negro
question, or the "po' white trash" question, or the
child labor question, help you thrill to the notion
of blowing out yellow bellies for America the land
of the brave, help you give that dirty red, or black
capitalist, or idealistic college professor a dose of
the "good old hard Practical," help you crucify
the Savior should he turn-up again (50-1 odds
we'd do it ; if ,not with a tree then with hemlock
poison) ....
That "Annie Dominey 38" will mother any more
thinking animals than did her predecessors, "37,
"36," "35," et. al. may be entirely too much for a
thoroughbred lounge-lizzard (who expects to raise
as much row at Mid-Winters and the Tramp Ball
as the next one) to expect.
Indeed, no. The indications from Germany,
'America all. the nice juicy news reports would
lead you to believe that the "thing this season"
is to be anything but the Intelligent Man (which
includes, and does not neglect, being athletically
mature). Indeed, no. The fashionable thing is to
be emotional, biggotted, sectional, and blindly
sweet about it all. It is great fun. Everybody is
doing it, just as they have before now.
Of course, none of us here in Chapel Hill is to
blame. Most of us have arrived at a stable and
admirable outlook. We see things pretty nearly
"whole" around here. Too bad the boys in Wash
ington, in John L. Lewis' mother's family, in Eu
rope and over there are abandoning Intelligence
and the ideas of democracy and education which
are based on the principle of developing a whole
race of thinking animals, a whole race of Men
Gods not just an occasional Hitler, or even a
capable few, no matter how efficient they are as
nursemaids for the rest of us.
We have always said that the idea "over here"
was not for the "philosophers to be kings" but
for everyone to become philosophers . . . however
imperfect at the present. (And that doesn't mean
everybody must wear long hair. , In fact, wearing
long hair may mean that you are not such a round
ed, Intelligent Man after all),
The educational device is supposed to develop
Intelligent 'Men overnight (Abraham Lincoln
ought to have known the difference between the
back of a shovel and a piece of writing paper, says
someone). If it turns out nothing but slick bond
salesmen who can marry the most luscious girls,
carry around a diploma which they have been
taught entitles them to a living on the face of it,
and who join merrily in the emotional short-run
- view with everyone else if such is the end-pro
duct of the education, then they will, before long,
burn down the colleges like they did the monas
teries. And why not?
. ; ..... ..... '.v.'-.'
Just WHY there ought to be Intelligence in the
world you tell me. The answer that is yet to be
proved wrong is that the Intelligent Man is the
only guy in the world who can live the "abundant
life."
And if what we call civilization doesn't produce
an increasing j number of "abundant lives" but
merely more babies (the Indians were 5 million;
the Americans 125: same area) is there an
awful lot of point to it? Maybe you can't stop it,
There is one advantage which' a day laborer
has over all the authors in the world: he never
has to sit down before a blank sheet of paper and
face the empty and awesome task of filling it
with original and inspiring comment.
Black sheets of paper are the source of all the
world's troubles, come to think of it. The average
writer never does any real thinking until he is
1 V t
faced with one. Then he has to.
At other times he would merely give his brain
a book or a game to amuse it and then proceed to
forget about it, but a piece of paper just plain
has to be filled. Usually he just sort of sits and
stares at it in a "sort of resigned attitude, and his
mind wanders around until he sees something ob
vious and he writes it down thankfully and1 de
parts in haste, v
The next day, or whenever it is that this pro
duct of his genius is printed, it turns out that the
things which were so obvious " aren't obvious at
all Everyone else had never seen it in just that
light; so there is an argument, perhaps. And
then if the obvious thoughts do turn out to be
obvious, they are world-shaking and momentous.
Once before when I was faced with the. appar
ently hopeless task of filling up a blank sheet of
paper I had a world-shaking and momentous
thought, and it caused an argument. It occurred
to me that it was obvious that Charley Gilmore
resembles Charley McCarthy very closely. The
argument came from McCarthy: even a block of
wood must have some pride.

Mrs. Dixie Graves, wife of
Governor Bibb Graves, now
serving in the senate under an
interim appointment, will resign
as soon as the successful candi

Governor Graves, who named
his wife with the understanding
that she would resign, said he
would appoint the successful
candidate as soon as he is offi

It was last year in December that 3100 stu
dents flooded buses and trains on their way home
for the holidays. " j
Specials left Durham, Greensboro, and Raleigh
for all points North, South, East, and West. The
village was deserted, according to Director A. Guy
Ivey of Graham Memorial.
Christmas day found seven students in Chapel
Hill. v -
Most of the seven lived too 4 far away from
school to make the trip. Two were married.
The Student body gave the Christmas residents
seven presents. The funds came from the Gra
ham Memorial treasury and the initiative of Di
rector Ivey, who had also planted a Christmas tree
on top of his building.
Leighton Dudley, D. it "E., lives in Maine. "It
wasn't the distance," he explained, "but the finances."
Later he admitted that he spent the end of the
holidays in Philadelphia.

There are certain ideals : and services in conducting a drug
business-which mean a great deal to patrons, but which are fre
quently ignored or lost sight of by the druggist. For instance,
the highest attainment of the real drug store is the preparation
of medicines on prescriptions of physicians. Nothing is more
important than that with us. ;
Nor is it within the province of the drug store with ideals to
push the sale of proprietary preparations of various kinds which
encourage self diagnosis and self medication on the part of the
user. Whenever you are ill enough to need medicine you are ill
enough to need the advice of your doctor."
In these columns we shall point out from week to week why this
is true and why you should have your prescriptions filled by a
drug store such as ours which specializes in this important work.

Letters To The Editor
Over 250 Words Subject to Cutting
Dear Sir : ,
4 Is it not enough that we students should be
subjected to the infernal ringing of, South bell
about a dozen times during the day ? Why, oh
why, dear Sir must we be tormented; by it at seven
o clock in the morning ..,
The majority of students are probably able to
sleep through it (it's not the same as when it
rings to end classes) , but I and a good many
others can't. Neither, can we think of any reason,
regardless of how slight, why the bell rings at
such ah ungodly hour it can't be to awaken the
students for classes because we don't get up till
eight and we would dainnsite like to have that
extra hour's sleep! ,
And while we re on the subject of bell-ringing,
if you want to see a bunch of highly-incensed boys
on the verge of lunacy and a dormitory at the
bedlam stage, just come around to Old East or
West after the bell has rung continuously for
about fifteen minutes for those special CPU
speakers, etc! : v V - -
If you, kind Editor, can't include these reforms
on your editorial platform, will, you please refer
the matter to the Student Advisory Committee?
Yours in the faith,
Joe Darracott
