For This News: PHIL CARD EN Expense Account A tall, vigorous law stu dent with a sharp satirical wit brought to light last Monday night the fact that there had been extravagance in trips the University, debate . team had made in, the " past." He was speaking before the Student legislature. In yesterday's Daily Tar Heel, Clyde Shaw, head of the Student Audit office, pro posed that strict limitations be put on travel budgets, and that receipts of bills be brought back after every tour to account for the money' spent. Yet, he adds that the debaters cannot bring back to Chapel Hill a signed receipt for every red cap in Washing ton, Boston, New York, or New Orleans giving bona fide evi dence that a dollar tip had been tossed into a waiting palm. No matter how one looks at it, there will always be a mat ter of discretion when the University representatives spend - their fellow students' money. The whole problem ul timately boils down to one of a leader beaiing his responsi bility. When the campus votes for a man in the spring elections, and when a student organiza tion selects certain of its members to hold responsible offices, or, as in this case, to take trips on the students' money, it is absolutely vital for the men vested with this trust to respond to it at all times. He must be able to pre sent new ideas and to allow the group to improve its pres ent status, but he must also realize that he is working for their welfare and not for him self. In all fairness to the trips of the Debate squad and many other phases of campus gov ernment that have been under fire for lack of responsibility in the past, we might say that with the advent of the Stu-. dent Activities Fund to' the campus, out-and-out graft by students came to an end.

Managing Editor Busbies Manager Circulation Manager Issue: Sports: SYLVAN MEYER episodes as a dance committee alloting a few hundred dollars for decorating the Tin Can, to a company made up of the dance committee chairman and a couple of his cohorts, when the actual cost of decorating was only half the sum allotted, are gone. . But, Shaw can check only down to a certain degree, and beyond that it is up to the dis cretion of the men who spend the money. Beyond that point, the students are on their honor to bear their responsibility to the student body. Jo insure any sort of an autonomous set-up for students on the campus, and, in fact, to main tain any sort of democratic state, this same bearing of re sponsibility is necessary. The Debate squad that went North last year did not real ize not nearly to the fullest the trust put in them by the students. These are events to be disparaged, and it is entire ly up to the students to see--that they are not done in the future. L. H. -Right and Duty After hearing complaints from two students who hoped to obtain vacation employ ment, the Daily Tar Heel wrote two editorials some time ago advocating a change in the Christmas holidays. There are some students on the campus who need all the Christmas work they can possibly get in order to return to school next quarter. Student leaders recently met, discussed the problem with faculty members, and a' decision was reached whereby students who need work dur ing Christmas will be "able to leave school early. , The Daily Tar Heel points this out to the student body so that it may understand how democracy works on the cam pus. Any student or individual who is dissatisfied with present conditions has a right and duty to express his views. If any needed change within reason will aid the majority of stu dents involved, more than likely it will take place.

Glancing through Tar Heel files of '27, '28 and thereabouts no v ticed theater ads which are probably a great deal more interesting now than they were then they did serve, though, to rouse a great' desire to see the shows. In '29 the Tar Heels pounded Duke 48-7, the same week that Greta Garbo was playing in "The Kiss" at the Pickwick theater, and she was getting a tremendous buildup but nothing that ""could compare with the eulogy of Mar lene Dietrich who played in "Moroc co" the next year. The ad on the tri weekly's yellowed pages "Beauti ful Ravishing the Rage of Two Continents. A Woman Whose Very Life Is Love." Now for the denoue ment "SEE HER BRING THE LEGION OF THE DEAD, the For eign Legion, TO LIFE." "Here is a woman who gives love a startling significance."

Tom Long, getting rid of gravy Chairman Britt Almost as long as anyone can remember, Mitchell Britt has been ' chairman, acting chairman, or an enthusiastic worker for the Student party. The Daily Tar Heel again announced yesterday that Britt has assumed the mantle of leadership. Britt has been a' prominent factor in establishing the two party system in, student poli tics. With all its evils, the two party arrangement is still bet- ter than a one-party monopoly, Britt, with others, was a leader in his freshman days in breaking down the old set-up. He has smce been an active force in behalf of better stu dent government and a loyal party leader.

V By Sylvan Meyer 1 in the Debate council appropria tion, remarked that the University Party was an "empire builder.". How long do we have to wait? After intensive , investigation we can't help asking the perhaps em- , barrassing . questicw r whatv essen- . tially is the difference between the two parties on the ''campus? This 'should start something. Christmas holidays have been lengthened one whole day. This will bring us back to classes on Friday, January third. This means that most students will have one day of classes before the seventh. It means that for one day we will return to school three days sooner than is, on the surface of it, necessary. Which puts us in mind of an edi torial several years ago in which - the "f ormulator of public, opinion" said that holidays should be length ened because students will drive back to school with hangovers from New Year's eve and would have ac cidents and it would be the Univer sity's fault, for making them come back on the second ... so there, too.

Luce. It said: "First, what they (an aroused and free people) have to do is to vote merely for the sake of voting for that is one thing we can all do together all of us, rich and poor, wise and foolish,' Easterners and Westerners, farmers and city folk. I am not going to urge you to vote. I am simply going to express my opinion that anyone who does not vote at this election is a traitor to the Republic." Implied in this quotation is that we have completed Democracy in the United States and that we should all take advantage of this. Most of us, as citizens of the Unit ed States, are often apt to make this assumption especially today when there is so much propaganda to remind us of American Democ racy. It is my opinion that the ease with which we make this assump tion is one 'of the greatest dangers to America today. No country can prepare for defense or really be come unified unless its people are satisfied. No Democracy can satisfy its "people if it does not extend the democratic way of life to all. I have heard workers in North Carolina, Alabama, v Connecticutt and other states say that they would not mind having fascism fee cause they felt it would at least give them a subsistence wage level. . These workers were unemployed a "second Coventry but not the last," Nazis claimed tonight. ; ' VIENNA, Nov. 20 Hungary today formally joined the Greek-Italian-Japanese alliance, the first step to opening an Axis avenue to the riches of the Near East and Britain's em- ping stones to the vital Dardanelles . in . rt i i ana Bosporus oiraixs.

Editor they were a few of the eight mil lion. The unemployed may believe in American Democracy today but they are beginning to wonder and to compare the "advantages" of a fascist subsistence wage level to unemployment. Negroes in North Carolina and other states North and South are not sure we have a Democracy:. Practically all of them are ob jects of personal persecution. TSere were few Negroes who were allow ed to vote in the 1940 election. (Many whites could, not vote.) They did not have the money to meet the poll tax the fee to buy the ballot. That is the fallacy in Mr. Luce's editorial. Finally, I have heard citizens of the United States, lawyers, teach ers, workers, ministers and others say that there are so many monop olies in the United States that we are in danger of losing the Democ racy we do have. The only way to save the De mocracy we do have though rel atively it may be large absolutely it is not so gigantic is to further the Democracy in America. We must create a desire in the citizens of the Unted States, the farmer, the worker, (the members of pro fessions), the whites and the Neg roes, to work for and believe in Democracy. There is only one way to do this. Show everyone in Amer ica what Democracy' is. Work for the ideal of America. Extend De mocracy to all people's of the Unit ed States, regardless of how poor they may be. This, I repeat, is the: real way to save Democracy. Harry M. Lasker MAG .
