This year for the first time the board has at tempted to make the statements simple enough so that a certified public accountant will not be required to interpret them. Student examination of these figures and the accompanying explanations should provide a thorough understanding of not merely how many pennies are left in the treasury, but of just how his student organizations are fulfilling the pur poses for which they were, sometime in the dim past, started. No student can very easily be ar ticulately interested in student government un- CAROG. H fG S ' by JSk DO YOU KHOVJ YOUR STAFF ? THE WHOLE 4 YRJL THAT PRE!

VOTE ON FEES Today the Publications Union board will set a date for a campus-wide vote on the proposed Stu dent Radio Studio. The board will ask the campus whether or not it wants to make the studio a fifth publication, the $5000 cost of establishing to be taken from the surplus funds of the Union. Until Tuesday it was believed that a majority of favorable student votes would be required to establish the studio, according to a ruling by the board of trustees that no student fees may be imposed without a majority vote. Here is a technicality that the board may use to avoid the ruling and require only a majority of those voting : At the beginning of the year, the publications fee was $6.90. Ninety cents was being refunded, thereby reducing the fee to $6 for the year. So the new fee of 10c per quarter Writers of all sorts on social questions have accumulated crreat masses of evidence to show that Pangloss was wrong and something ought to be done about it. Progressives every where have agreed that wars of agression, child labor, lynching, vigilantism, and a host of other things are definite evils and should be eradicated. On these points, for all decent minded people there can be no question of right or wrong. The only question is how to correct these evils. And yet, in the face of all this, a large number of our liberals are insisting that we adopt an attitude of impartiality.

At present he is also a member of the advisory council of the National Youth adminis tration. The conference, which has brought over 12 prominent reli gious speakers here, is being sponsored by the Federal Coun cil of Churches in an effort to adapt its famous Preaching Mission to college life.

The liberal today has a CPU And Capone To the Editor, Dear Sir: Referring to your editorial, January 26 : No one has ever said that the Carolina rostrum should not be open "to even the most emo tional, bigoted, unreasonable, dishonest public speaker." We wonder if it would be pos sible to obtain for a short time Mr. A1 Capone, the . eminent criminal. No doubt Mr. Capone feels that the public at large very much mis-judge his mo tives. It is entirely possible that he was really only a Robin Hood and. that the unfairness of the social set-up so infuriated him that he decided to do something about it. Mr. Capone can no doubt point to dozens oi poor boys" whom Jie started on the road to riches and success. Unfortunately society misun derstood his motives and he end ed up where he did. No doubt, I say, the University rostrum could profitably include Mr. Capone since this "is the very sort of thing the students will have to face and answer after they graduate." x Yours very truly, John Creedy Eats His Lasses Candy In Eastern Carolina there once lived a Negro named Frank Harrison President Of The United States Eats His Lasses Candy And Swings On Every Gate Williams. That should deflate the Graham dormitory janitor who is going through life proudly with 20 given names long enough, yes, but hardly as ar tistic as Williams's handle. Recently a columnist discovered such people living in this state as Precious Germany, Sal Hepatica, Lucky Blunder, Iona Ford, Artificial Flowers, Filthy McNasty, Victrola Valentine, and Superior Calculator. Over in Winston-Salem we were accustomed to riding around after church each Sunday, and out in suburban districts would inevitably run into the signs an ice cream man named Hell used to have all over: "You can . always be refreshed if you go to Hell."

Afraid Of Religion To the Editor, Dear Sir : I feel another letter to the Tar Heel coming on. This time it has to do with the Religion and Life conference. If the men and women who have been with us this week were of the revivalists, "Old Time" religion type, then I could see the point of the rather wide spread indifference among the students and some members of the faculty who are almost to tally ignoring the conference. But the leaders here this week are -REAL. Somewhat idealis tie perhaps, but God knows we need a few idealists. These peo ple .have the couraere to face physical yand mental pain .and upset that most of us would not bear to think about. . They are not trying to force anything down our throats. They are too democratic to do that. But they have something to tell us, and they come closer to reality in their presentation of social and life problems than any amount of theory. We give the Human Relations """ ""a. aupporc. Ltet us support also this conference on Religion in Life that reaches even deeper. Sincerely, Polly Pollock George Robert Dawson, Jr. Edwin T. Elliot Joseph -Bunn Ramsey, Jr.r is The effect of . poison iw ascribed to an oil produced bv me piant. (Ed. Note: Mr. Gilmore does not necessarily sup port or endorse the opinions given in this column. He merely prints them as his opinions.) Alexander Heard certainly is an influential person. When his Carolina Political union gets together and invites a speaker here, nobody can predict what's going to happen. The union brought Socialist Norman Thomas here, and nobody said a word, except "My, isnt this a liberal University?" Now all the pseudo- intellects are tearing their long, red hair because Tom Girdler is coming. No, Not That! This doesn't mean that the pseudo-intellects (I don't know why I call them that because they aren't intellects) are not as liberal as the conser vatives. No, it's far more significant than that. To be specif ic, a few years ago there were so many "yes- men on the campus that Harry Hop kins was thinking of starting a Si Si Si camp here. Now this is a virtual nn" man's land. Everybody is against everything. ' Think Of It ! For instance, I know one bo v who's against the institution of pop quizzes. No reason, except that he just doesn't like them. Another lad, and other wise a fine boy, too, thinks classes should begm at '9:30 instead of 8:30. This nihilistic .(I'll spell that for you: n-i-h-i-l-i-s-t-i-c) attitude isn't going to get us anywhere. If you're against everything, you hardly be for anything. If this be granted, then why are we here? I'll let Mac Smith answer that one. - Perhaps I'm getting a little too logical. Let us cloud the issue. There are a few students here, and I have their names, who think that compul sory class attendance is an evil and should be abolished. Others don't like freshman chapel- Are we producing a species of anarchists?
