PHARMACY STUDENTS
AREN'T "SWINDLERS"
In "Letters to the Editor" today is a defense of
Pharmacy school students. "We do not like to
be called 'posers' or 'swindlers " writes a cham
pion of their cause in the Yackety-Yack photo
graph question.
The issue has been that photographs of Phar
macy school juniors and seniors have been getting
in the Yackety-Yack and paid for by the class
treasuries, to which the pharmacy students do
not contribute.
Wootten-Moulton, photographer, says that it
has simply clicked its shutters at whomever the
iYackety-Yack sends up with the proper identifi
cation card. The pharmacy school students say
they innocently went up to be photographed after
a Yackety-Yack representative asked them to and
gave them identification cards.
Those who haven't had their say are the treas
urers of the two classes that are footing the bill,
and the responsible members of the Yackety-Yack
staff.
The case is that the expenditure isn't labeled
"pharmacy school photographs" on anybody's
books, and for the sake of good campus finances,
it should be. Before next year's contracts are made
out. there ought to be a get-together of class
treasurers and the Yackety-Yack business office,

the grounds that the Commun
ists support it, and therefore it
must be wrong. What would
such people, most of them good
Christians no doubt, answer to
a Communist declaration of sup
port to the ten commandments."
In another impromptu remark
during the open forum discus
sion he stated, "It is impossible
to picture a world democratic
front without seeing America at
the lead in the movement."
Communist Traitors
A question regarding the con
victing of admitted Communist
traitors in Russia brought out
the following comment from
Browder, "We have our traitors,
as all other political parties
have, but we differ from the
others in that we are more vigil
ant in seeking them out and ren
dering them harmless."
rne Jommunist leader con
cluded his address with "Amer
ica will take the path toward
concerted action of all the peace
ful and democratic forces of the
world. America will certainly
reject the Hitler slogans .
America will resume her proud
place in the vanguard of world
progress. America will not turn
aside toward a vain and false
isolation . . . Our present capaci
ties and our past history join in
giving us this assurance. We of
the Communist movement will
do our best to help realize this
promise."
Seminar
Browder, who was accompa
nied here by his wife and an as
sociate, Mr. Childs, arrived in
Chapel Hill in time yesterday
afternoon to conduct a seminar
in the lounge of the Carolina
inn.
Following the afternoon's dis
cussion, which was attended by
15 students and faculty mem
bers, the communist leader was
entertained at an informal ban
quet. The party planned to leave
the University immediately aft
er last night's program in order
to arrive in Raleigh in time to
catch a late train for New York.
LOCAL BAND
MAKES GOOD
The home town boy made good in his home
town!
Wednesday night's audience was really im
pressed with the concert of the University band.
That each member of the band had practiced 10
hours during-the two weeks before, right in the
face of exams, was pretty impressive. But the
genuinely good music they produced was the real
thing.
Eight expensive instruments had been added
to the organization. It had 21 new members who
brought its size up to 66.
During the fall and winter the University
band has toured to cities throughout the state,
where it won great acclaim. Finally it has come
home to break traditions local band makes good
at home.

CHAPEL HILL
RAISES A BABY
In a Cleveland, Ohio, YMC A two years ago the
American Student Union was organized. Last
Tuesday night in Graham1 Memorial plans for a
.University chapter were laid. Laid on what?
Scott Hunter, Billy Campbell, and Polly Pollock
are the organizing spirits here. They know the
story of the ASU, probably, but tp many of us
it meant only another subsidiary of the YMCA
Let's take a closer look:

The Union was formed in 1936 in a merger of
two national radical student organizations on the
campus of Ohio State: the National Students
League (a Socialist Party affiliate) , and the Stu
dents' League for Industrial Democracy (organ
ized by Upton Sinclair on the West Coast) .
They were forced off the Ohio campus to the
Cleveland YMCA. Too radical for the Buckeyes
Perhaps it is a little unfair to burden the child
with the sins of its parents, but we all ought to
know its background. Chapel Hill is a tolerant
place for baby-raising.
POP QUIZ
By
Bob Perkins
There are two points on the
earth which are exactly north
and south from one another and
exactly 1,000 miles apart.
Now if you fly from one of
these points to the other in the
shortest possible distance, you
will be flying 500 miles due
north and 500 miles due south.
Con you locate these points?
Answer to yesterday's quiz:
One five-dollar bill, four two-
dollar bills, four dimes, one half-
dollar, one Quarter, and four
pennies.

the Fire Boys"), the volunteers
leave whatever work they might
be doing and run to the fire.
"We sort of give orders, be
cause we run the equipment. If
the chief is there he does."
Speaking of the recent fire
which damaged Dr. Odum's
house, Partin wanted it known
very definitely that the resi
dence was out of the fire
force's jurisdiction. "We weren't
supposed to go, but we did to
help out. But we were handi
capped by the wind, and by a
shortage of our water line. That
was a mighty bad fire, but not
so bad as the one in the chemis
try building some time ago. That
really was bad."
Fire Fighter's Life
Asked if the life; of a fire
fighter satisfied him, Partin
leaned back further into the aft
ernoon sun. "I've been at it so
long I couldn't hardly do any
thing else. - It's boring some
times, but I like it."
Perhaps the veteran service
man's serenity has been aided by
the lack of trouble from prank
ish college students. Rising
from his chair to give special
emphasis to his remarks, he
said : "We must undoubtedly
have the best set of boys in any
college town. We haven't been
bothered by a false alarm in
over two years, and they never
try any tricks. The boys have
helped us out mighty well dn
many fires."
rreparmg to depart, tne re
porter asked Partin if he had
any children.
"I have two," was the reply.
"Will they be firemen?"
Partin sat down again. "Both
mine's girls."

After the joint meeting of the student council
and Publications Union Tuesday night, things
looked dark for radio studio proponents.
If both sides adopt the compromise which re
sulted from the meeting, the publications fee
return to $6.90, but, by a proposed constitutional
amendment, the board will not be able to take
on any new function without a majority vote of
the campus.
Since a majority vote on any issue is rare, the
radio studio seems to have been sacrificed for a
principle: no campus organization can extend its
functions beyond its preestablished limits when
student fees are involved without a majority
vote of its members.
One hope, however, is still left for the studio
if the campus wants it: It is rumored that a safe
majority of students will visit the polls when
Spring elections roll around. If both the proposed
amendment and the studio issue are added to the
ballot, an ample number of voters can register
their opinion simply by one more mark of the
pencil.

POINT OF VIEW
By Ramsay Potts
Communists certainly do have a sense of humor.
Mrs. Earl Browder, who is here with her hus
band, was telling about her three children who had
been left at home in Yonkers. "They all like mu
sic, but the two youngest want to be engineers.
The oldest boy is ten and the pride of his class at
school. He's really a 'capital' guy."
While the Mrs. was discussing home life, Com
rade Browder pointed out the similarity of early
American nolitical develonment with fhp nnrcrpj?'
now going on in Russia. We were all convinced'
that Aaron Burr gave the Russian traitors an ex
cellent example to follow.
Mr. Browder denounces a great many things,
but he is careful to play upon your sentimental
nature by constant reference to the United
States as "by far the best." In comparing Russian
industrial advances with those made in other
countries, he said, "They are far ahead of any
other European country, but of course they have
a long way to go before they catch us." I suspect
Mr. Browder of being an American before he is
a Communist.
There is one thing he should do. The bristling
mustache, and the straight hair falling down over
on the nart of the nresident and
faculty and have encouraged theinis forehead cause him to look like Adolf Hitler.

Pharmacy School Yackety Yack
To the Editor
Dear Sir:
Your editorial of March 2 concerning the
Yackety-Yack pictures of pharmacy school stu
dents appears to have been derived from a very
biased source,. As third and fourth year phar
macy students we were given cards for Yackety
Yack pictures by the Yackety-Yack representa
tive himself at the time of registration.
Our registration blanks clearly had "Pharmacy
Student" on them, and we, as students, natural-
1 XI 1 I '
ly Lnougnt it was our place to have these pic
tures made. Not only were we asked by the pub
lication representative to have our pictures made,
but we also received cards from Wootten-Moulton
urging us to have our pictures made at once.
Victimized
We realize now, having been told by the presi
dent of the junior class, that we were not entitled
to these pictures but we did not pose as regular
juniors and seniors, or have any intention what
soever of doing so. We were merely the victims
of a mistake made over a period of several year3
by the publication itself.
As further proof of the argument that we were
not attempting to "beat" anyone, let us take the
third year pharmacy class as an example. Sev
eral weeks ago our president was approached by
Jim Joyner on the subject and was asked to have
our class decide whether the members wished to
pay the $4.50 for individual pictures, or not to
have any such pictures in the annual. The clas3
voted not to have individual pictures and since
