For This Issue News: Gordon Burns Sports: Frank Holeman CARD-GRAPHICS "LET THE STUDENTS HANDLE INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS" Not mentioned in the news stories of the fac ulty's wrangling over athletics was the matter of Professor Phillips Russell's suggestion to turn f.h whole business of management over to the students. Faculty members smiled; no one would admit the suggestion had any practicality to it at all. The very idea! The students would make an even bigger mess out of athletics than we, the faculty, have done now for the uast so many years. The students would sell themselves to outside and anti educational influences quicker than we, the fac ulty, would. Of course. Mr. Russell freely granted that the students were no more pure and noble than the faculty but he pressed home the point that athletics were supposed to belong to the students altogether and that, in accord with the long-run Carolina philo sophy of student democracy, so vigorously re sounded on the occasion of President Graham's inaugural, the students should rightfully be given a chance to handle athletics for themselves. 00 YOU KHOY YOUR STATE? m BIRTHRATE M MX.

COMflUfliTY CAMPUS NOMAD By Voit GUmore LETTERS To The Editor Student Council Bottles A Good Project To the Editor Dear Sir: The student body at Carolina has the reputation of being one of the most apathetic in the en tire country. It is the exception when half of the students take an inerest in any campus issue. The only practicable way to se cure a majority vote of the stu dents on any issue is to hold the election on two or more days. The proposed radio station is admittedly for the best interest of the campus as a whole. To its operation Dean Bradshaw, Dean House, and President Graham have given their consent; the P. U. board has agreed to pro vide the necessary funds if a majority of at least 800 voters consent. Furthermore, they have agreed to finance a three day election. Until Monday night the stu dent radio seemed assured. Mon day night, however, the Student council met. Insurmountable ob stacles were immediately placed in the way of the studio. First, the voting was limited to one day. Second, a vote of half of the student body was required. The council gave as its reason most students would much pre fer having only one good enter tainment each quarter rather than two or three bad ones ; they would rather put this amount of money into obtaining such good artists. We have had good entertain ment in the past : the Minneapo lis Symphony orchestra, the Russian ballet, Helen Jepson, James Melton, the Wiener Saen gerknoben, and others. Why can't we have more of these? Why can't the entertainment fee go toward getting more sym phony orchestras, towards get ting outstanding pianists and composers, and towards getting other outstanding artists that other Universities are inviting to their campuses. I'm sure the sum of money collected each quarter would get at least one such artist during the year if not more. Let's have better entertain ment from now on! Respectfully yours, Glenn Starnes station estimates as follows: Durham, $1500 ; Greensboro, $3000; and Charlotte, $4000.

If that ; is true, I believe Lethargy Greatest Obstacle To Studio To the Editor Dear Sir: Numerous articles have been written concerning various ques tions which have grown out of the remarkable steps already taken toward the establishment of a campus radio station. None of these discussions, however, has taken a definite position either for or against the pro posed studio. Now, as the ballot ting time draws near it behooves us to seriously consider what stand we shall take. Everyone can easily see the benefits which would accrue to the university AND to the stu dents as a result of a campus radio station well directed and efficiently managed. The widen ing of the prestige of the uni versity through the broadcast ing of prominent speakers, aid ing in the extension work of the university, affording a direct method of communication from the university to the people of the state; the increasing of the scope of the services offered by the university to its students through the opportunity for stu dents to acquire knowledge and experience in the growing field of radio, and the opportunity for student participation in the programs themselves; such, are a few of the areas in which con crete benefits would soon be re cognized. But, you may ask, "How do we know that such a studio would be well directed and effi ciently managed?" Well, it seems that jthis matter is not worrying several radio stations which have agreed to extend special lines to Chapel Hill and send over their transmitters at least one hour of university pro grams each day the cost of the extension of which lines each 2:00 The Metropolitan Opera Company presents "Der Rosenkavalier" by Richard Strauss (WPTF or WSB). 6:00 The Sedalia Singers, thirty Negro boys and girls from the Palmer Memorial Institute in Sedalia, will be given an open audition by the Columbia Broad casting System (WDNC). 8:00 Bob Ripley's "Believe It Or Not" (WSB) ; Columbia Workshop (WDNC or WHAS). 8:30 Jack Haley's Log Cab in, with Ted Fio-Rito's orches tra (WEAF or WSB) ; "Johnny Presents" (WHAS). 9 :00 Prof. Quiz with Bob Trout (WBT). 9 :30 By Popular Demand, book reviews (WABC) : Dra matization of the life of Andrew Jackson (WEAF). 10 :00 Symphony orchestra under the direction of Arturo Toscanini (WEAF or WSB); Lucky Strike Hit Parade, fea turing Richard Himbers orches tra and Charles Hackett as guest (WDNC or WBT). A RUNNING HISTORY Madison Square Garden Four fellows are up here today to make history for Carolina. The University's two-mile relay team is closest in history to taking honors in the Millrose Games tonight. Every man on this year's team is prac tically as fast as such legendary idols as Harry Williamson and Graham Gammon. The team is Bill Hendrix, Carlton White, Fred Hardy, and Jim Davis, with Frank Wakeley as al ternate. Even if our runners don't take honors, the student body should feel good, because three on the team are just juniors, and two just sopho mores, lne same outiit togetner all over again is 1939! Our team's time for two miles should be around seven minutes, 52 seconds. That's one minute, 53 seconds for each man to do his half mile of the relay. Southern Conference Champ Williamson's indoor record for that distance is one minute, 57.4 seconds a mark that each of this year's runners is getting closer and closer to. A Little Spirit, Boys Millrose Games are the toughest indoors in the East. Crackerjack runners from the whole coun try will be on the slanted runway with Hendrix, White, Hardy, and Davis tonight. Why our relay team's being in Madison Square Garden tonight doesn't interest the campus as much as Bershak's trip to the East-West game, or as much as Pete Ivey's trip to Texas is a real question. But most certainly it doesn't. Judging the high calibre of its participants, the amount of personal initiative and output it de mands, the keen competition it affords, track is probably at the top of the athletic list. What has made cold statistics look bad for Carolina traek of late has been fewer victories that the team has won over the new and harder teams on its schedule, and over the old rivals who have been getting , increasingly better . . . That fact, and the fact that a track "meet" actually moves slowly and has too few major thrills has helped kill general 'campus interest. An exceptionally outstanding Carolina squad, however, and its exceptionally good chances at the Millrose Games provide an opportune occasion for revamped student interest for the spring season. POP QUIZ By Bob Perkins From Agnes Scott (girls col lege near Atlanta noted for its beauties) comes the story about the Scotchman who sent the fol lowing ten-wTord telegram : "Bruises hurt erased afford erected analysis hurt too infec tious dead." Can you figure out what he meant? Answer to yesterday's quiz : With athletic rules the faculty was trifling, Aimed directly at the athletes rifling. "The rules to hell J fling," An alumnus shouted.

Howard Brownlaw Barnwell Louis Berini Walton Pete Burkhimer John Walter Clayton Milton Earl Hogan Milton Leon Kantrowitz Raymond Eugene Pethel Word has reached me that the Woman's assoc iation will exclude men from participation in its May Day celebration. Nor will men be permitted to vote in the selection of a beauty queen. This is in violation of the XIX Amendment. The Amendment states: "The rights of citi zens of the United States to vote shall not be de nied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." The XIV Amendment clearly states that men have the right of suffrage, under due process of law, and to the extent notwithstanding of the laws of the Several States. r The Woman's association is truiltv of violation of the Constitution of the United States. Is this University training its youth in law breaking? Are the young women of the University represen tative of youth's attitude toward the Constitu tion of our forefathers? Men always have had the right to vote; since 1919 women always have had the right to vote. Is this sacred possession of democracy to be torn away from us by the whim of a Woman's assoc iation? I call upon John Creedy, Sam Green, Fred Myers, et al, those staunch defenders of civil rights and democracy, to do something about this fascistic attitude expressed by the women of the University. Soon Alexander Troyanovsky will speak here. Do we want him to go away thinking that the University does not embrace the true principles of true democracy? And after all the Committee of Fourteen has done to build up political freedom- Now the Woman's, association tears it down. .'1- Off
