Much like the Associated Press in
America, Reuters is the great news
syndicate for the United Kingdom. . . .
Friend "Bull" James had just hit
Europe cold last June when he began
noticing from day Jo day in the Eng
lish newspapers the great number of
stories marked "By Reuters" We
watched him. .. .
After the third day he couldn't
stand it any longer.
"By Golly, Mac," he said, "this fel
low Reuters must be wonderful. . . .
Greatest reporter in the world. . . .
Here he's got a story from China,
from Japan, and from Geneva . . .
and all in the same day! Look at this :
by Reuters,' by .Reuters,' by Reu
ters,' by Reuters.' He is wonderful.

AGREED ON . 1
"DEAD BABIES" .
The American "World War" comes , of Age to
night at nine 21 years old to the minute.
- ...
An awful lot has been done and said about
the great crusade to make the world safe for
democracy, the duPonts, and Lafayette s Ghost.
Still more has been said about making democracy
safe for the world and leaving Belgian babies to
the Belgians.
The two chief currents of post-war history have
been the one from Geneva and the one from Hit
ler's beer hall in Munich. The score is in favor
of the latter at the moment.
Most of the world is agreed that dead babies
disembowled don't make a pleasant sight, and
this sentiment for peace has probably saved us
from any number of recent Sarajevo's. But for
the world to organize itself so as to meet nation
alistic conflicts (as it has already done to meet
most provincial conflicts) there must be a con
siderable amount of thinking on the part of the
individuals in the democratic countries.
Merely sighing and weeping for peace won't
do it. And there is some good reason to suppose
that 231 different "Peace" societies, each with
its own exclusive formula for salvation, will, by
their very struggling among themselves leave the
vast body of the electorate vacillating this way
in 1917 (for international coooperation) and that
way in 1920 (for isolation). Such wishy-washy
policy reversing has left us pretty much in the
hole.
Sincerely Yours -
During exams last quarter we
were crossing in front of Phillips Hall
when two sober Sophomores passed,
heavily shaking their lowered heads.
"That is just the trouble with the
Salvation Army," said one to the
other, "It's too sincere."
Coming & Going
Favorite quotation from Voltaire:
"An optimist is one who believes that
this is the best of all possible worlds,
and a pessimist is the one who agrees
with him."
Goody, Surprise
According to someone a good news
paper is supposed to make the reader
spout "My God, look what's hap
pened!" every morning.
Supply and Demand
During the recent Anti-Jap Fever
in this country a particular Washing
ton establishment called the "Jap
anese Tea Room" saw fit to change
its name to the now popular "Chinese
Garden." The owners: Messrs. Cohen
and Goldberg.
CREEDY
IN THE COLD
The University Party has named Gordon Burns
for the Carolina Magazine ; -the Student Party,
Tommy Meder. And the fellow who got the unan
imous staff nomination John Creedy is out in
the cold.
Last spring saw the heaviest campaign for pub
lication staff elections in the history of the publi
cations at Carolina: the campaign ended in i
defeat of the movement, even though most of
those in the victorious opposition openly declared
that the voice of each staff should weigh very,
very heavily on the minds of the voting campus.
And last year there was' only one opposition
candidate in the publications field. Staff nomi
nees went through in a breeze.
So much for last year. ...
What we have now is the Student Party's re
versing itself completely on staff elections, putting
up opposition candidates for the Tar Heel and the
Magazine; and the University Party, almost as
culpable, playing at "favoring" staff nominations
but putting up, in the case of the Magazine, an
opposition candidate too.
It is a peculiar situation that this spring, so close
on last, finds Magazine Nominee Creedy without
major support and a light-hearted attitude to
ward staff nominations in the other publication
races. It appears clear that parties will always
endorse staff nominations (and raise themselves
for it) so long as it suits their programs to do so.
For the parties to take staff recommendations
seriously, the campus as the vast body politic must
first show itself interested and cognizant of what
and how each staff feels about the candidates with
which it has worked. If the campus as a whole
respects the recommendations of each staff, the
parties will have to.
Gullible
Citizens of Des Moines, Iowa, were
voting on their city commissioners.
Zangara, the fellow who'd shot at
President Roosevelt in Florida, killed
Mayor Cermac in doing it, and been
executed by the state of Florida was
still good enough in the minds of
enough Des Moines citizens to deserve
a name on the Des Moines ballot.
More than enough citizens agreed
to sign the petition necessary to put
Zan's name on the ballot!
Gullible No. 2
More eager to "sign up" were a cer
tain group of Indiana citizens who
stuck their names (which brought the
matter before a particular city's
budget commission) to a petition call
ing for the city's undertaking to build
a LADDER TO THE MOON.

FOES ACKNOWLEDGE DEFEAT
IN REORGANIZATION FIGHT
Washington, April 5. Opponents
of the government reorganization bill
practically abandoned hope today of
defeating the measure and contented
themselves with trying to riddle it
with unfavorable amendments.
In addition, they continued to do
all possible to delay the bill's passage.
To counteract this action, administra
tion leaders tried several times to fix
time of closing debate, but were
shouted down by foes.
LITVINOFF DENIES AID
GIVEN TO CHINESE ARMIES
Moscow, April 5. Foreign Commis
sar Maxim Litvinoff today denied
that Russia is sending army units to
aid Chinese forces.
The foreign ministry also asserted
officially that ammunition and planes
were supplied to the defending Chi
nese according to international rules
relating to such sales.
Allen Merrill .. .
Through taking an active part. in
many campus organizations and his
work on the Daily Tab Heel," Allen
Merrill has developed an understand
ing and knowledge of the campus
which is possessed by few of its mem
bers. It was this fact which led to his
nomination by the staff for the Daily
Tab Heel editorship and the subse
quent endorsement by the University
party, which has stated its policy as
only endorsing a staff nominee if that
nominee is best suited for the posi
tion. As co-assistant editor to Mac Smith
and as columnist 'he has further de
veloped his knowledge and under
standing of campus affairs. His past
reportorial experience and contact
with members on the staff during
three years have given him a thor
ough knowledge of how news should
be handled and how to interpret this
news onto his editorial page.
For the paSt year, Merrill, in addi
tion to other work, has served as rep
resentative at large on the Publica
tions Union board. Here he has had
ample opportunity to study the prob
lems faced by the publications and to
form an opinion as to how they
might be solved.
Among other campus organizations
in which he has taken an active part
are the campus cabinet, the student
council committee to. draw up a plan
for a campus legislature, the Student
Advisory committee (all by appoint
ment on the basis of past work done) ,
and the Grail, the, Amphorerothen,
Sheiks, and Phi Delta Theta frater
nity. The staff, regardless of party af
filiations, in giving Merrill its nomi
nation recognized the fact that he
would dedicate his efforts to serving
the campus through the Tab Heel
to the best of. his ability and judgment.

Tomorrow the co-eds will select their slak
officers for next year. Miss Anne Perry and
jDuzauetu iiiaiuue are me two candidates for pr
dent of the Woman's association.
Yet the other offices are uncontested, tw
will be automatically Tilled by single nominee
A revolution in women's elections came to
Monday when President Nancy Nesbit called to.
gether a co-ed assembly for nominating officers.
A nominating committee of nine members ap.
pointed by President Nesbit had met and selected
a slate of officers with a single nominee U f $
each office.
In order for any other name to reach the- ballet
a majority of the nominating assembly would have
toapprove the candidate.
When President Nesbit asked for obiectior
there were none.
By a majority vote Miss Malone's name
placed on the ballot by the side of Miss Perry's.
"Our objective," says Miss Nesbit, "is to elimi.
nate acrimony and politics in general from the
election.
On the surface, to have the head of the Woman'
association appoint a nominating board to select
single candidates seems undemocratic.
Actually, however, it may be the means of elim
inating overly keen "intersorority" competition.
Polly Pollock, non-sororitarian, says, "Whereas
I agree with Nancy's purpose to do away with
'acrimony,' her means of arriving at her goal
opens the way in the future for a 'fascistic' sys
tern of selecting officers. A more democratically
chosen board, such as one from each sorority,
and one from the non-sorority group would be a
dehmte step forward."

Voit Gilmore ...
Editor of this year's Freshman
Handbook Voit Gilmore again seeks
an editorial office. He was nominat
ed on February 27 by the Student
party for editor of the Daily Tar
Heel, at which time Party Chairman
Bill Cole stated, "It is not our policy
this year to select a man merely be
cause he is a staff nominee, but to
pick whom we consider the best quali
fied man for the position."
The Student party for the past two
years had considered him as the logi
cal nominee for the editorship since
his experience on the staff covers
nearly every phase of journalism.
Making a place for himself on the
staff in his freshman year, Gilmore
has steadily progressed up the Tar
Heel's ladder of endeavor until he
now holds the position of co-assistant
editor, the highest post for which a
junior is eligible.
He began as a freshman reporter
and subsequently served as feature
editor and news editor. He is author
of the columns, "Campus Nomad"
and "Written in Water," appearing
m the editorial columns of the Daily
Tar Heel several times weeklv. As
a co-assistant editor, he at present
holds responsible positions as edito
rial writer and adviser.
As secretary of the Publications
Union board in his sophomore year,
Gilmore became closely associated
with the financial responsibilities of
publishing the daily newspaper and
with the other problems that face the
paper and the staff.
His other campus activities, of
which there are many, have been
closely associated with newspaper
work. He is a member of the campus
cabinet and thus has contact with
other student leaders and with cam
pus problems. He serves on the stu
dent audit board.
As the past editor of the Freshman
Handbook, Gilmore follows in the
footsteps of two Daily Tar Httct. edi
tors Mac Smith and Don McKee
who entered the race for editorship
with that in their past history.
Other honors held by Gilmore in
clude Amphoterothen, Grail, CPU,
Junior Class Honor council, com
mencement marshal, Junior-Senior
dance leader, and Chi Psi.
POINT OF VIEW
By Ramsay Potts
You saw them walking across the campus in
pajamas. You heard them talking in an affected
manner. Yet more than likely you never took the
trouble to find out how truly representative they
were of their group. Your prejudice was formed.
There was never a chance for it to be otherwise.
Groups in dormitories, groups in classrooms,
groups in fraternities voice that same prejudice
against the Playmakers. You hear the supercil
ious comment from many sources, "Oh he's a
Playmaker' or "Shes a Playmaker, you know."
Your opinion is not given the opportunity of be
ing iounded on fact. You are convinced by the
contemptuous manner of those who dislike any
thing or anybody who dares to be different.
The serious workers in dramatics never ques
tion that opinion. They're too absorbed in their
work. But many young students are interested
in dramatic art. Only your attitude prevents
them from following up that interest. They should
have tougher skins perhaps. If their desire is
genuine they will never be deterred by an expres
sion of prejudice. But those few derogatory re
marks you drop are sometimes just enough. The
young seed is easier to kill than the full grown
plant.
Look back to those Playmakers who have re
jected glory on their teachers. Paul Green and
Thomas Wolfe are famous authors. Elizabeth
Taylor played to New York and Hollywood that
applauded her skill. Eugenia Rawls had a leadbtf
role m the "Childrens' Hour." Elizabeth Farrar
Shepperd Strudwick and George Denny were afl
students here. Today they are leaders in the dra
matic field. Judge the group by these products,
and your mantle of prejudice will f all to pieces.
"God gives every mind its choice
between seeking truth and repose,"
wrote Henry Thoreau's neighbor,
Emerson. Before our eight-thirty
every morning, we're inclined to
reply, "God gives every mind its
choice between seeking truth and
finding it."
THE MAN WHO KNEW
Nine hundred years ago in Persia, there lived
a man who knew everything.
His name was Ibn Sina,
.When Ibn Sina was seventeen years old, he
healed a sultan. When he was fifty-eight, he feD
ill with a marching army and died in the city of
Hamf adhan.
He was a doctor and a phaosopher. He cataloged
the knowledge of his time. He knew everything
If Ibn Sina were alive today, would he be out
of a job?
