McGAUGHEY RADIO Dream Is Realized Idle dial twirlers this after noon practically anywhere in the state may tune in on the first in a four-a-week series of Univer sity programs originating from the new campus studio in Cald well hall. When they do they will be hearing a long time dream of the students and administration come to life. If they like it and the programs that are to fol low, they will make it a point to tune in on the University pro grams regularly, and another dream will come true. For the unpublicized purpose of the studio, and one that takes precedence over the purposes of providing radio training for stu dents and of familiarizing the citizens of the state with the wrork of the University, is one of providing an educational serv ice to the much talked of the winter quarter at his home in Winston-Salem as the result of a broken neck suffered last December in intramural wrestling. Reports say he is recovering nicely . . . Artie Shaw's orchestra, without benefit of maestro, made things sweet and hot for Duke's Pan Hell dances this week end . . . The student legislature's es tablishment of voting precincts for use in general campus elections is by far its most important action to date. It will serve to upset the ratio of fraternity and dormitory voting thereby having a direct influence on political party setups.

In our opinion Thomas Wolfe made Discovering that a committee his readers say: "I have experienced woo f cof tir w lrr oo-o. I that feeling before." We think he SILLY Civil Liberties Committee!! The Editor, Sir: The last time I wrote you it was in protest, but I had no fundamental doubt of your sincerity. Succeeding events have made me question this. You have continually attacked the American Student union on the basis "masses." It is hard to sugar-coat educa tion with entertainment, but that is just what the staff of the new studio intends to do, and we believe that they are on the right track. And if they succeed, the studio will be justified in any light, for the need of such a service has been clearly demon strated by the readiness of state broadcasting stations to provide air time for the programs. In publicizing the University, too, the studio is to serve a use ful purpose. The work of the Uni versity is interesting to the peo ple of the state, and the studio will supplement the work of the athletic teams, Playmakers, Alumni association, Extension division, publications, CPU, news bureau and other agencies in tell ing North Carolinians just what happens at Chapel Hill. One of the most pleasing, as pects of the set-up is that stu dents play the major part in pre senting the programs. It will not be exclusively a student enter prise, but, judging from the first week's program plans, it will rest largely in student hands.

A checkup on those attending would have sounded like the ASU roll call. It's happened again. Only Nickson did not walk out like organizer Bill Ward did before. The strange thing is that the ASU will get a big kick out of investigating itself. They will probably go at it with gusto. Don't be surprised if you see a headline similar to this in forthcoming Daily Tar Heel: "Civil Liberties Committee De clares ASU Pure as the Driven Snow." The situation was comical for a time. It has passed that stage. The whole thing is just plain silly.

When we came to school in the fall in a world torn by war, with the possibility of our involvement, the Daily Tar Heel told us that the best way to meet this problem was to for get it and play checkers, and the Edi-J tor fatalistically predicted that our early entrance was probable.

In 1935 we endorsed the Oxford Peace Pledge for one reason: to keep the United States, out of war. In 1938 we endorsed collective peace action for one reason: to keep the United States out of war by forming a coali tion of democratic states which could effectively stop the spread of war and fascism without the necessity of war. We were opposed then by Chamber lain and Daladier; we are still op posed by Chamberlain and Daladier. These men were against democracy then and are still against democracy, and therefore we have no interest in their war. In 1940 we take our stand for one reason: to keep America out of war. We condemned aggression in those quarters in which we can help without danger of involvement; name ly, China but refused to attack Ger many and Russia, the two nations against which we are most likely to fight. This no more implies that we are communist than that we are fas cist. It implies only one thing: in a changing world, an action peace or ganization which does not altpr if policies is liable to find itself on the side of war. Furthermore, it comes as something of a shock to find you men tioning "our valuable services in the Spanish cause." If my memory serves ! me right, Mr. Editor, you were at tacking the ASU as bitterly when we were helping Spain as you are now. Perhaps in three , years you will con done our present stand, but Mr. Edi tor, in three years you will probably be shouldering a musket unless you fight for peace now. As far as the charge of communism in the ASU goes, there is not a shred of evidence to support it. I might charge you with being in sympathy witn communists. Both of you believe in human progress. Both of you want peace. Both of you eat three meals a day. Both of you think the formula of water is H20. Of course I agree with communists on some important points Everybody does. I also disagree with them on some important points, and on some points I remain skeptical. The Dies committee based its report on hearsay and conjecture. No one who is interested in the truth will use the Dies committee as an authority, be-1 cause the false nature of its investi gations has been proved countless times. I might also mention that the article in which you quoted Dies con tained several misstatements of fact, but I have long since ceased to argue with you about that.

DUMB DOINGS Desiring some information concerning the Leap Year dance, Sanford Stein telephoned Nancy Taylor, social chairman of the dorm. She was not in. Stein then called her sorority house. She was not in. Not to be outdone, Stein called the Kappa Sig house. "I would like to speak to Miss Nancy Taylor," said Sanford. "Hold the line and I will see if she is upstairs," a voice replied.

NO MEN ALLOWED The Chi Omega pledgees gave the Apple Dumpling Pie and Pi Phi pledgees a "come-as-dressed" party last week. Some came with towels decoratively arranged in the proper places.

LION CRASHERS Recently the Lions club of Hillsboro gave a dance in the local American Legion hut. At intermission, Bill Stauber, Martin Harmon, Bobby Rosenbloom and Bud dy Nordan met up with a campus coed and two members of the club. The Carolina men were invited to the dance by these kind persons. Arriving at the dance, our heroes were welcomed by the bouncer who went to work imme diately on the- un-Lionized lads.
