North Carolina Votes Seventy-one members of the lower division of the 1939 General Assembly are seeking re-election for the 1941 legislature and 24 have no opposition in their party, a report drawn up by the Asso ciated Press reveals. The approaching primary vitally, affects the University and its student body. The Democratic primary is tantamount to election in most counties, and in most cases the legislators will be chosen in the May 25 voting. For this reason, it is important that friends of the University concern themselves about the selections. If we would have the University receive the appropriation it needs and deserves, the time for action is the present as much as it will be next January when the legislature is in session. If University students go home May 25, learn the positions the candidates take concerning the University appropriation, and help elect the right men to the offices they will make the going next January a great deal easier.

T E R EDITED BY BILL SNIDER Straws In The Wind By WALTER KLEEMAN A BOOK For your inspection, a short summary of "American White Paper," by Josph Aslop, and Robert Kintner, the new book describing the ins and outs of American foreign pol icy, while being written from the inside. (Since there has been no de nial of the book by the Administra tion, and since the facts within it could not have been gotten with out Administration aid, we assume, that tacitly at least, the Administra tion does not condemn.) WHAT IT SAYS Our space is too short, but the Amn. Foreign Policy according to AWP is to aid the dem ocracies by any possible methods short of war. The only reservation, it is to be noted, is the actual sending of an Amn. expeditionary force abroad. Of course, this you understand, is the policy of the President and the policy makers close to him, not of the Senate or the House. All through the book there is a con stant condemnation of the Senate members, and in fact, anyone else who opposes the President's policies, (In cluding the public) because it is said that FDR and the state department have better information as to what is actually going on. The N. Y. Times phrases it thusly, "His (FDR's) poli cy making has been hampered .by the shortsightedness, lack of interest, and malevolence of the electorate." It may be true that he has better info, but it also is true that the people of America still should have the respon sibility and the chance to make their own foreign policy. And then there js the inevitable question, "If the Presi dent and his advisers have better in formation, then why is the American public not informed?" It is a personal opinion that the American public is NOT a collection of boobs, that it can decide policies for itself, and furthermore, that when the time comes when our policies should be dictated from above, then we have ceased to justify our exist ence as a democracy. The volume itself is more important for what it leaves out than' for what it actually contains. It tells the story of inside Amn. diplomacy; but it does not tell of the failure of that diplo macy. It tells the story of how the President and his advisers have at tempted to project American influ ence into European affairs, but it does not say how that policy has fail ed. We have tried to influence the course of European affairs only by declarations to the effect that we are against aggression and that we will throw our strength to the side which has been 'wronged;' we have seen that policy fail for two reasons: 1. Be- i powerful Mr. Shaw's message and he has missed no opportunity to ex ploit it. ' Supplied with a "pertinent drama" as Miss Eleanor Jones, director, chose to call it in a before-curtain speech, the Co-op theater has transferred the Shaw play to the stage in an impres sive, if amateurish, manner. The pe culiar smoothness of action character istic of long leisurely rehearsals was lacking in many places. As with all amateur productions there was much poor acting and occasional bright gems for compensation. We would of fer one particular peal of praise for Miss Connie Smith who, besides hav ing quite the two juices roles in the play, never failed to make them stand out brilliantly. As soldiers' women Miss Louise Stiefelmyer and Miss Marguerite Goodman were quite ap pealing and were principally respon sible for giving the women a clean sweep of the acting honors. Among "Bury the Dead" War has been a part of our old world for many a year, and in this springtime 1940 when it is very much with us many of the conventional de nunciations constantly rained on its head have become as unimpressive, as meaningless as the familiar "love thy enemy" philosophy in Sunday school books. Too seldom indeed does a skill full playwright with something to say sit down and deliver his pen punches in a manner reiresnmg ami impres sive, in a manner designed to pierce the senses of an audience and arouse it out of dangerous inertia. Such a play is Irwin Shaw's "Bury The Dead" which the new Co-op theater presented as it second offering of the year last Tuesday night in the Play maker theater. Mr. Shaw, by the way, is not a struggling young campus playwright as one unenlightened coed was prone to believe the o-her day. He is rather a struggling young Broadway males we would offer a good word playwright whose New York produc- i for Stanley Fuchs, the doctor, and tions to date have led him to be con-!

Because the leaders of the democracies to which we pledged our help have not been vigorous enough to take up the ban ner without reservations, without did dling and without delay. In other words, American foreign policy cannot help but fail as it has been outlined, because in the end it cannot prove to be as valuable to us, as its logical price would costus. If we continue our present course of un neutrality, we must end in some sort of war, (That is, if history has any thing to say on the subject.)

While exploring in Death Valley, College of the Pacific "students keep in touch with their campus by short wave radio. All letters must be typewritten and are subject to cutting. To the Editor, Dear Sir: The actions of the senior class executive committee, as related in your editorial of May 14, 1940, seem to a number of senior class members to be highly irregular. These believe that the committee acted primarily for its own welfare and only secondarily con sidered the interests of the senior class. Such an undemocratic body is not capable of administering the im portant duties delegated to it. Con tinuance of such irresponsibility will inevitably lead to distrust by students of their chosen leaders, and this will finally lead to the downfall of student government. We, and others, firmly believe that there is the greatest need for a re form in this problem. Therefore, the following generalized plan for a blanket constitution for all class executive committees is earnestly and respectfully submitted to the student body and to the Student legislature: 1. Membership of a class executive committee should be representative of the class s a whole, rather than being made up on the principle of the spoils system, as has occurred in previous years. 2. Membership should consist of from 12 to 20 representative men, larger groups of 40 or more having proved unwieldy. 4. The executive committee should be forbidden to divert class funds to its own use. Class funds are recog nized as being collected for class use only. 5. The unallotted fund should not appear in the class budget. 6. Accurate minutes of every execu tive committee meeting should be re corded, and copies of these minutes should be presented to the Daily Tar Heel for publication. (This year a majority of the senior class members were totally ignorant of the actions of the senior Executive Committee.) Respectfully yours, Bill Corpening, Thomas B. Keys, Arnold Swain, Charlie Putzel, Bill Dye, Howard Kahn, Robert Mc- Lemore.
