For This Issue i News: PHIL CARDEN Sports: ED , PRIZER The Case For Pacifism As someone in the audience said afterwards" it was Dr. Muste's balance -his open-mindedness and the all-inclusiveness of his intellect that was impressive in Hill hall Thursday evening:. Through his balance Dr. Muste transcended the average person's conception of a pacifist, and to a sceptical audience this was sur prising and gratifying to say the least. Undoubtedly he caught me group on us Kuaru. - r - . . . ; Beginning on the ground floor he pursued his case with such a glowing sincerity, such a conviction of the truth in his crusade that he made many want toieye in his alternative although they felt it could not be the solution now. Here was the real worth of Dr. &uste. Without once raising his voice or appealing s to emotion this Director of the Fellowship of Reconciliation un leashed his spirit through the audience, and it is good when a man can do this. Even the Carolina Political union was not sure that Dr. Muste, as a leader of the minority, might not, if given the opportunity, rise up on his hind legs and reveal himself as an haranguing . demagogue screaming irrationally for peace. That Dr. Muste. was not proved comforting. That he rather displayed a bril liant intellect and background, a rare balance and depth of in sight only strengthened his case and made his audience give se rious consideration to his proposals. Boiled down to their essentials, here are Dr. Muste's pro posals: Hitler cannot be conquered with Hitler's weapons. If the United States plunges into war (as it will by pursuing its present policies), the final results will be no different than those of the last war, only more horrible. .Since the fruit of such a policy has been, gathered in once before, why can't this country blaze a new trail out of the dilemma, one not based on war? Dr. Muste proposes that through the mutual cooperation of the church and the government we proclaim an armistice for Eu rope, promising to offer the billions we would otherwise use for armaments for the economic rehabilitation of Europe and Asia. Though he wisely steered clear of the moral implications of his proposal preferring to present a rational solution, Dr. Muste was sounding the old call for a moral revolution, a spiritual re valuation, in the world, the same crusade that has been the church's campaign for thousands of years. The turmoil of the world at present offers a pretty good illustration of what a long . weary and apparently fruitless struggle the church has waged. The truth of the matter is that before Dr. Muste's proposals could be carried through, the fundamental human nature of man kind would suddenly have to make an about face. That such a miracle could be accomplished at the present time in a nation as prosperous and comfortable as the United States is impossible to believe. Realistically, then, Dr. Muste's plan does nJt offer an alternative for peace. The moral rehabilitation that is the church's problem must be solved first, and Dr. Muste does not tell us how that can be accomplished (again realistically) in time to avoid catastrophe. For, indeed, when our nation would sud denly do unto the Axis as we would have it do unto us, then the great crusade of religion will have certainly reached its goal. It is interesting to note that back in 1863 on the assumption that the Civil war would continue for two years with expenditures of four billion dollars, Lincoln asked Congress to appropriate that amount to be used to buy the freedom of the South's slaves and end the war. Congress refused to make the appropriation. Later the South, too,. refused to consider Lincoln's unusually fair peace terms. , 0 With the details of Dr. Muste's plan for informing the Ger- " man people of our generous offer so purely speculative and with hosizontal 1 Author ci "Little Women. 3 Human upper limb. 1 Theater staRs. 5 English coin.

We're beginning to despair of . this column, . paper, college . ,and everything in general in fact, we think we'll become misanthropists or something.. Of course, ur not . being able to. go to Fordham has nothing to with this feeling - not . much, anyway. Besides, the Edi tor of this sheet rubs our fur the wrong way. We can't print gossip! . But he's gone to Fordham this week end see? ' While the cat's away, the rat's will hey, wait, a minute, we don't like that comparison a bit Our friend Aggie is a most mis understood person, as is his place of business. Only last1 week-end, there occurred a shining example of this mistrust. The girls in Dorm one had a rather cute idea for a display (or so we thought). The scene was Aggies'; a football play er was seated at a table littered with beer bottles, underneath which lay a mermaid representing the "Green Wave." Purpose of the tab leau was to establish the fact that Carolina, the football player had drunk Tulane, the mermaid, under the 'table. Some self-appointed mor alists took it upon themselves to raise all manner of cain about the harmlessly-intended expression -of Homecoming Day. Result, the house-mother tore down the display, tossed the corpi delectii in the hall, and went seeking the culprits of the misdeed. During the last process, some vandal removed the bodies, which instituted a still greater search on the part of the house-mother for their recovery. She must have spent!: a most enjoyable day, don't you think? . Turning to les catty subjects, we'd like to plug "H" dormitory for the spirit in which they've set out the customary optimism of the United States that we can profit by our mistakes in World War I, it is impossible to imagine Dr. Muste's program feasible in our country at this time. We are sorry we can not foresee its success, for Dr. Muste made us want to be a part of his crusade. His proposals must be made even more practical before they will stand consideration. But there can be no doubt that he has opened up a hopeful road for our nation, one which might be re-enforced and made secure enough so that a nation skeptical of "pacifists" will someday em bark on it for a journey. In the meantime while the nation still believes it can keep what it has by force and until this spiritual revolution comes along, only horrible destruction, bloodshed, and exhaustion or a desperate economic crisis within our borders will finally compel the world to set about erecting foundations of lasting peace. In closing let us say that it was inspiring to hear a man of the church so rationally and brilliantly describe to the layman a course of action which points toward a way of solution. Dr. Muste's alternative for peace is a feeble candle sputtering and wavering valiantly in the roaring wave of darkness that rumbles up on the horizon. ' College Students Approve Policy f Ban-Aiiierican Cooperation (By Associated Collegiate Press) America's collegians are enthus iastic sponsors of the rise of Pan Americanism. The trend toward so lidifying relationships between the United States and her sister nations of the New World evident in de velopments on hundreds, of cam puses. Importance of education's role in this field is noted by the New York Times, which points out that in re cent months the republics to the south have been subjected to a quiet but nevertheless intense - "penetra tion, the invasion of American school teachers. "Even more signi ficant," says the Times, "were the visits of whole groups of teachers and undergraduates who went south on serious study tours. The invasion undoubtedly will have beneficial repercussions on both continents." On the- other side of the picture, ' the University of Iowa Daily Iowan notes that student enrollments in Spanish language classes at Ameri- ' can colleges and universities are showing substantial increases over 1939. "This trend, the Iowan ob serves, "holds one of the strongest hopes for real improvement in understanding between the United States and its neighbor nations to the south." c A practical application to the subject is given by the Louisiana State university Daily Reveille, which cautions that "more than 200 students on this campus are not get ting the co-operation that . they should. These are Latin-Americans." Charging- that "the student : body reneges in doing its part by mildly 'snubbing' our Latin . American friends," the LSU publication com ments that "the welfare of the United States in protecting its mocracy and its people depends a much upon solidarity with its neigh, boring countries to the south as t does on its army and navy." At Lafayette college, the Lafay ette requests new courses in Latin American history and culture, de claring, "there is no doubt that ocr ties with these countries are be coming increasingly more important to our national defense." Similar in tone is an editorial b the Harvard Crimson. "As the United States peers out into the fu ture," observes the Crimson, "its leaders attempt to find security not only in rearmament and conscrip tion, but in carefully cultivated friendship with Latin-Am erica. More and more men will go south to find career, as cultural exchange increases and trade-nets tighten. Clearly it is a function of a wide awake college to offer such indi viduals the chance to prepare them selves. And it is equally clear that, as this new world opens beyond our shores, it is the university's duty to be ready and willing to educate all interested in these peoples and their . ways of life. That Harvard does neither, offering in this field noth ing but a lonely half-course in the history of Mexico, may well invite comment. Perhaps by next Septem ber the catalogue will announce a course in "International Relations Pan-America." America's colleges evidence no lagging behind the march of Pan Americanism. The United States must acknowledge a debt of grati tude to her collegians for their aid in cementing hemispheric relations. Good Mornin By Orville Campbell to make dormitory life more enjoy able. Of. course, , the social, room L with which they are endowed makes the place seem more like a - club or a fraternity, (no I don't live there), But other dorm's have them, with much' less unity of feeling. So far this year they've won second prize f or homecoming day display, and at present have proposed having a dor mitory houseparty, with the boys all moving out and letting dates stay in their rooms. Harry Belk, presi dent of "H", has even greater and more farsighted plans perhaps a 4 dance for the quadrangle and a par ty of sorts to make a whole week end of it. Plans haven't been work ed out as yet, and there's many a . slip but we say more power to , you fellows. It's time somebody was getting rid of the "lower-quad- rangle complex" that keeps most of the boys out of German Dances and frat houseparties ! ' Undoubtedly, many money-making shemes have had their origin on the Carolina Campus but this is the best that's come our way in some time. It requires a will to get up early in the morning and a daily paper. Be still, you havent heard this before. You rise at the peep of dawn, snich the roommate's paper, read it, then sell it to the freshman down the hall for a nickel. It's un beatable George Coxhead has tried it with remarkable success on room mate Dub Martin. We've decided to go in business for ourselves answering names on the roll-call of pur classes Monday for the price of a milk-shake. Shucks, whut's Rockefeller got that we ain't except a few million dollars, fame, and a few other things not worth mentioning! mmm i SWSS"-? -WSJ- mm Miss DeCourcy Last week 500 alien imports add ed much to the Carolina campus. Alex Guerry, who some say has un known power with the opposite sex, had a charming young lady from. Cincinnati, Ohio down for the Car olina - Tulane game and lFall . Ger- v! mans. ' Helen ' DeCourcy was' the." name. ' ' During the course of the weekend Heln received her share of at tent ion from Alex's fraternity brothers, Harriss Everett, afajd Marshall Cham bers, the fresh man tennis star, who incidently is from Miss De Courcy's home town. On Sunday morning friend Guerry got up a bit late, so he asked friends Everett and Chambers to call for Helen. As it happened Helen was staying on Gimghoul road, directly across the street from where Everett lives in Chapel Hill. Chambers " met Everett at the latter's home, and in their haste to call on Helen they went to the wrong house. After waiting for 30 minutes an elderly lady entered the room where . the boys were. Everett looked up and remarked: "My Helen, you cer tainly have changed since last night." We Think It's Funny We overheard it last night in Steele dormitory and thought it was worth repeating. Around midnight three students were in a typical Car olina bull session. One of them, Mac Norwood by name, had not said much. From our observations in the past' we have found Mac to be the type of person who does not speak unless he has something im portant to say. The bull session became quiet. Mac spoke up. "Gosh, I'm glad I don't have to take physical educa tion tomorrow," he said. ' Hardly had the words been re peated than another student spoke ; up with "Do we get a grat in physi cal education tomorrow because of the Fordham game. Gee, that's won derful." "I don't know whether we get a grat or not," Mas replied. "You see, I take physical ed on Monday and Wednesday. ,. Our Friend Carmichael William D.
