They who stood silently in the rain, they who lay cold in the gave and were .honored, wondered if America has touched its last hot stove. 9 No Paint Raids These future leaders Tor honored dead observed two minutes of silence, stood un covered in the rain, thought silently of the sacrifices of those beneath the soil. They ' wondered, . as many of the leaders of 1917 must have be fore cold steel relieved their, perplexity, just why war must be, why mankind must kill fel low mankind in order to con vince him of his "conception of right. The men who are to be the machinery of war or peace ask- . ed themselves if their America 'is doomed to succumb to the in sanity of war that is permeat ing the world. They wondered if a perplexed Carolina student body will lower a flag twenty years hence to the memory of Carolina men of 1940, and will wonder why they of 1940 had died and why they of 1960 must soon decide' between peace and yet another war "to save democracy." They stood in the rain and observed Armistice Day and saw that the men of 1917 had died in vain, that the eternal peace the soldiers of 1917. sought for all men had come only to those who received this morning their annual two minutes of homage. They who stand on the threshold of peaceful progress or bloody retrogression asked them selves if the Armistice Day of 194? will be like the Armistice of 1918. They wondered if the . next peace conference will be like, the last full of the spirit of hate, 'revenge, greed, and undemocracy. Yes, they sadly -admitted, the forces of right eousness and forgiveness did not prevail at Versailles ; when . Each year on the Sunday night before the Duke-Carolina football game there is held a meeting of student officers of the two institutions. The banquet meeting is held with the idea of building up a friend ly spirit tooffset the natural rivalry that accompanies the playing of the big game of the year and which continues throughout the year in other sports. V , If the matter of whether Carolina students should raid Duke's campus, and vice versa, were left to the eighteen stu dents who attended the meet ing there would be no reason for fear from this quarter. Far from the minds of those who attended were thoughts of painting the Bell Tower or the statue of James B. Duke. These student officers, rather, were thinking of the approach ing game in a much different light. They saw the game as a spirited, but friendly, contest between two great educational institutions, each concerned about winning the game but more concerned about carry out its function of educating American youth. The students saw the banquet meeting as a coming together of youth from different universities for an evening of fellowship and un derstanding of each other. ' It is the hope of those who attended the meeting that through them the spirit of iriendship will be carried to the two student bodies. . - . ; We urge that Carolina students-have plenty of spirit this week, but, that they con trol themselves with a little sound judgment.

That there is an average of 90 dances a year on the Carolina campus. That the Order of the Grail is the only organization in school that can sponsor regular script dances. That every penny taken in by the Grail is turned back to the campus in schol arships, donations, etc. That this same or ganization made a wise move in giv ing the students a set of dances this weekend. That Freddy Johnson's orchestra is going big time. That Bea Withers has more wim, wigor, and witality than any of the new coeds. That the first issue of Tar 'n Feathers will be off the press before the Thanksgiv ing holidays. That it will contain bigger and better pictures. That Gene Whitten has some swell ideas if they can be carried out. That we still have a fine football team regardless of the record. That a bad quarter always comes back. That with the Carolina football team it comes to be the first quarter. That with the Duke game coming off Saturday a lot of people are going to be in for a lot of surprise. '., That llichard Worley has done a fine job of directing the activities of Graham Memorial. T H a t three juniors recently xsaid they didnt know what the building was for un til he took over the directorship. That the' "Save the- Light Cam paign,' sponsored Dy Steele uormi tory will be a good thing if some un fortunate one doesn't break his leg in the dark. That a member of the University of Virginia freshman football team was so broken up over the defeat handed it by the Carolina yearlings that he missed the bus home. That Kay Kyser is coming out with a new movie that observers . say will be a honey. That there are only 39 more shopping days till xmas. That freshmen will get their first taste of Carolina politics be tween now and Thursday. . . - George Nungezer, of Raleigh, wanted to attend the Duke-Carolina game here Saturday very badly but City Judge Paul C. West, of that city, made it an impossibility. Nungezer was convicted of the larceny of two tickets to the game. His landlady, Mrs. Myrtle . Pegram, testified that the tickets sold originally for $5.50 but that her daughter, Betty, had paid $10 for the two which were stolen. Judge West sentenced Nungezer to 60 days in the county jail for the theft. Perhaps if Nungezer had waited until after Carolina had play ed Richmond he would have thought twice before committing the jcrime. ! Clipped from the Indiana Daily student: "A certain professor at Ohio State university walked into the classroom 15 minutes late to find the class gone. The next day the stu dents were reprimanded. The pro fessor said his. hat had been onthe desk, and that had been a sign of his presence. "Next day the professor found an empty classroom. On each desk was a hat." , ' Tales my mother told me depart ment: Modern version of "Do Unto Others Before They Do Unto You" is "Do Others Before They Do You." Language Group To Meet Here November 29-30 Dr. W. G. Leland, director of the American Council of Learned Societies, will discuss cultural relations of the United States with Latin America when the South Atlantic Modern Lan guage association holds its thirteenth annual meeting, here on November .29 30. . . A large proportion of the associa tion's membership of 500 linguists will come from the Carolinas,' Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississ ippi, Louisiana and Virginia to attend the meeting. Approximately one hun "dred institutions in these states will be represented by language teachers. Professor John T. Reid of Duke uni versity will also speak on the program with Dr. Leland. His subject is Latin American opinions of North American literature. Dr. Thomas B. Stroup of the University of Florida will present ja report on the status of the humani ties in the United States which has al ready attracted national attention. Books written by members of the association or related to the interest of its members will be exhibited by the University presses of Georgia, Duke, and North Carolina.

Armistice. . - Student Government Sallies Fish Worley tells us that as his part of the movement to-, reduce the cost of printing campus publications, he would like to construct small dark - rooms for developing pictures in his ' Graham Memorial student union -building. These would be open to the publications and students who take pictures as a hobby for a nominal fee. : In spite of complaints from various parts of the campus that credit can't be obtained because the Legislature has net as yet passed the budget? the finance committee of that boc is. about to shake up all fees. I:-S about time some responsible tody got hold of the fees and gave therr. a good overhauling. Dave Morrison reports that the Faculty Executive committee is about to turn over complete author ity in honor cases to the Student Council. This is a definite step for ward in student government. -.. Expect to see the idea of having a student advisory committee on cur riculum roll out of its tomb any time now. It's an old, But a first rate plan. --: Jabey Heyward came up with the suggestion that the Student Legis lature elect hold-over members from 3Tear-to-year. This would help give the campus law-making body a more settled tone, and some really ex perienced legislators. Also, here about making the legislature go back to their dorm meetings and account for their actions while operating in Speaker Bill Cochrane's sanctum. A new angle on a student night club situation is that the game room in Graham Memorial might be trans formed into a dine and dance spot. If Board of Directors gives its OK, "Worley's Village Barn" may have its opening in the near future. tetters To The Editor It's a free for. all ' S An open letter to Simons, Roof Dear Mr. Roof, . You say in your letter of Novem ber 9 in reply to Dr., Beale that "perhaps the most outstanding vice virtue of the pre-war generation is this, that it distrusts abstractions and asks for direct statements and planning." But are not men's larger actions directed by abstract things; consciously or , unconsciously, by an abstract philosophy of life? Is it not, therefore, fitting to discuss great questions in abstract terms? For once the basis for action is determin ed all subsequent action must fall in line. You state that "the Ten-Cent Generation wants its water with out mud." But water must rest on something, be that mud or not. If we are most concerned today with whether or not democracy wll survive and whether or not America will have to fight to maintain demo cratic living then should we not work to establish democracy on an unas sailable basis and to combat the ene mies of democracy both at home and abroad? How may democracy be made unassailable? By making ur. shakeable its foundations. What are the foundations of democracy? Fair play, understanding, and tolerance. What assails the foundations of de mocracy? Foul play, misunderstand ing, and intolerance. Is not the most effective way of preserving de mocracy to proceed directly to com bat the enemies of democracy? Can not this best be done by combating these subversive forces in ourselves and by so doing establish a sound basis for this highest of all forms of government? You say, "but to sit back impas sively, without preparing to meet any possible disaster, is not a part of our high-strung generation though we strenuously work for peace." Then let us attack directly with moral and physical courage the tendencies that would bring disaster. You ask for ah alternative to meeting Hitler's force with force. If one accepts the "abstraction" that it is more noble to live for than to die for ideals then is not one's course clear? Respectfully, ' Wesley Bagby The Fifth Colum By Ralph Bowman , Running behind schedule, people this is last week's column by all rights, but if we-bring it up to date, we hope an infirmary excuse won't ' be needed. ' " ' This musical world it's in one heckuva mess. All the song writers seem to be capable of these days is patriotic goo that fills the juke boxes at a nickel a dose. Don't mis . take our attitude - patriotism is a great emotion, a vital one in a time when national unity is greatly need ed. But, darn it all, we hate to see such a great and necessary part of our lives cheapened by second, rate music and musicians, by song writ ers 'that think nothing of taking Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" and putting it in 4-4 time with a tricky title and calling forth our love, of country and last of all, by com mercializingVur national music music we love and associate with glorious history crooned by some dime a dozen singer on some batter ed music box and-sung by a couple dozen drunks in a beer parlor. On our own campus swing music is entering another' collegiate year of increased activity. Freddie John son's band, which is probably the hottest aggregation since Kyser left, seems to be on its way to the top. A weekly radio program, and finally an audition by Frank Dailey, a for mer bandleader -and now owner of the Meadowbrbok, on Poinpton Turn pike, all indicate that his organiza tion is being noticed by the musical world, vlncidently, Jimmie Nelson, Charlie's brother, and four little gals from Charlotte are providing nice harmony and vocal arrange ments. Elsewhere, Johnny Satterfield, who took Over Charlie Wood's old aggregation, is whipping the banc into shape and it should be a mighty potent crew when he's finished. They say that Skipper Bowles sounded darn good at the Chi O pledge dance last Friday with five of Satter field's boys in the biass and sax sections. Some' people aren't ever -satisfied! A Phi Kappa Sig in two years "has had dates down for three dances and each time two women have showed up. We suggest that he could make arrangements to be out of town each dance week-end from now on. This Fish Worley what has he got on the ball? Since he took over Graham Memorial, it has developed from the retreat of the half-dozen or so of the campus intellectuals into a cross between Radio City and an old wild-west saloon. The crowning success of all came last Saturday nite when, the Worley-GM team sponsored a tea for the incapacitat ed men-chaser's, known as Sadie Hawkins' Day. The turnout exceed ed even Fish's wildest dreams. The crowd was so large that hardly half could get in on the track meets that Fish fondly calls "square dances.'" The funniest thing that happened was a certain graduate student f getting - drunk on nickel cider and insisting on doing a tap dance to the tune of "Side-Walks of New York See FIFTH COLUMNIST, page k- BOOKS BY ...
