For This Issue NEWS: RAY LOWERY SPORTS: DONALD BISHOP Editor's Note: Two former editors of the paper, Phil Hammer and Don McKee, are guest writers in today's column. Hammer is now personal secretary to Wisconsin's Pro gressive Senator Robert LaFollette. He answers Horace William's charge that the campus has degenerated into a "sideshow" of extra-curricular activities. Hope For The Circus Our college "circus" does not present a hopeless picture. It is as distracting as it should be deeply stimulating; it is as hasty as it should be deliberative; it is dispersing as it should be concentrative. But it is not a hopeless case. The process of being educated on a campus fraught with the dangers of democratic procedure is one that inevitably approaches a ludicrous hodge-podge. When students are left to themselves to develop their intelligence under the pro tecting wing of democratic freedom, there will be as many ASU's and CPU's as the students themselves can think of at any one time. There will be side-shows and merry-go-rounds. There will be more lost motion than many believe justified. For it is true that campus democracy means freedom to explore, to search, to find. Its merit rests in the concept of democracy as the only form of student society compatible with the idea of individual development and growth. But at the vital point at which this individual development be comes confused with license to run freely and speciously out of the intellectual sphere tltogether is where democracy's chance for success in educating statesmen rather than show men in clearly revealed. That it is possible at this point to eliminate the ludicrous hodge-podge in favor of a sane program of democratic edu cation is the reason the campus "circus" is not hopeless. It is possible and essential to prepare for democracy through democracy without going berserk. It need not be based on the theory that the campus body must first become demor alized by a cheating ring episode before it can reform its thinking on the honor problem. It HAS BEEN so based, but it need not be. The answer lies in a student democracy which neither ab hors faculty participation in its thinking nor is abhored by the faculty as a task too big to be accomplished. It lies in an understanding that "license" and "liberty" are as different as memorizing the alphabet and thinking through a pre viously unsolved problem. It holds that the license to de velop through participation in self-government is trash un til it becomes the liberty to use that self-government as an integral part of the process of getting educated. The danger of our college "circus" is that it lets too many midgets slip out the tent into a society which must have giants if it is to long survive. It breeds sluggishness and it misses the point entirely. If the University of North Caro lina is what it is supposed to be an institution in whose bosom men are developed through intelligent, guided partici pation in the democratic life of its campus and classroom then it must guarantee that the present sideshows are mere ly indicative of a temporary need for re-evaluation rather than a permanent sign of a misdirected brand of ignorant . educators. The "circus" is not a hopeless case. But there is hope only when two conditions are present: 1) campus democracy is made to perform its function by revealing its purpose; 2) the institution which boasts of training for democracy through democracy is itself democratic in every phase.

The struggle below is his.) Struggle For Democracy Mixing with hundreds of shuffling college feet for the last two nights in the gym raised the question: What are the graduates of our universities going to live for? Today a terrific struggle goes on in America. Put simply, it is a clash between the rich and the poor. It is a struggle in which the poor represented by the worker are striving (chiefly through trade union organization) to attain the so cial power necessary to prevent the powerful rich from ex ploiting them, and in which the rich are trying to preserve their dominance by resisting the attempts of the workers to raise their power to an equilibrium with that of the rich. It is important that a relative equilibrium of power be tween these two conflicting groups is attained, because when ever in civilization there is inequality of social power, the group wth the most power inevitably oppresses the less pow erful group. Maldistribution of power always results in in justice. , The theory of democracy is to distribute power equally among all so that no one group or person, will have that su perior power which makes oppression of his fellows pos sible. America has been relatively successful in extending dem ocracy and equality into the political realm, in theory at least, by assuring every man the same voting power, equal access to the courts, and an equal right to say, write, and think what he wants. Politically, the constitution provides an equilibrium of power between rich and poor. But in the economic realm the chief source of power lies in the ownership and control of the mines, factories, banks, press, and even motion picture theaters, and this power to day rests, not in the hands of the working majority, but the employing minority. The employing group which controls these means of production has the power to hire and fire, set conditions of work, dictate hours and wages, and even determine to a large extent what the many shall wear, eat, and read. These are industrial autocrats. Without organ izing to approach an equilibrium of power with this employ ing group the workers have no power to resist their aggres sions. Int;the economic order, equality of power between the rich and the poor does not exist. Moreover, those who have economic power in modern so ciety use their special privilege to warp what political dem ocracy exists to serve their own economic interests. The inequality of economic power, by thus destroying equality of political power, prevents political democracy from being a reality. Un-democracy in the economic area corrupts attempted-democracy in the political realm. The task of this generation is to extend democracy into the economic order. The labor movement today, because it is striving to attain that equilibrium of economic power between the employing and working groups without which there can be no democracy, is the most democratic movement in America. Without such extension of democracy into the economic realm, political democracy cannot be preserved. What are the college graduates going to live for? DON McKEE. THE 1:30 . CtASS By Adrian Spies With The Churches ART INVADES CINEMA AND CLICKS Miss Ginger Rogers, who has long asserted her capabilities to play a straight, non-musical role, justifies her claims once more by presenting a meritous per formance in her latest comedy, Vivacious Lady" (Sunday and Monday.) As a night club girl who has wed a sedate college professor (James Stewart), Miss Rogers carries well a series of laugh scenes depicting her troubles in her husband's academic home.' The comedy has a smoothness and general enthusiasm which is a tribute to Director George Stevens, and a pleasant restraint from the over-Iavishness that is usually present in Ginger Rogers films. James Stewart, who is learning not to "pan" and "mug" before the camera, is acceptable as the befuddled but romantic professor-husband. To quote Variety," " 'Vivacious Lady is entertainment of the highest or der and broadcast appeal." Tuesday "Stolen Heaven" is one of the few Hollywood ventures which have been allowed to undergo an "art" treatment. And it is all the work of Andrew Stone, one of the younger film artists. Mr. Stone wrote the screen version of "Stolen Heaven" so that the action and dialogue would blend into a musical background which is supplied m discreet under tones. Throughout manv of the scenes there is a soft playing of the works of Liszt, Wagner, Moskowski, Chopin, Strauss, and others. Mr. Stone has as a theme the power of music and the "deep er things" to reform two crim inals Gene Raymond and Olym- pa Bradna. He has directed the motion picture splendidly, and Episcopal 8 :0O Holy Communion. 11:00 Service and sermon. 7:00 YPSL. 8:00 Prayers and organ re cital. .
