Fre-Exam Chorus
The. lights will begin to
burn bright, long after mid
night, from the quadrangles
up to fraternity court reach--ing
far into town during the
next few weeks.
The worried frown that
students wear today isn't indi
gestion from - turkey dinners,
but it's' a sign of only one
thing ' r exams are on 'their
way.r
. And every year when the
heat of exam week pours out
over the busy campus, we
hear slackers and conscienti
ous souls alike gripe about the
way a particular course has
been taught or how the Uni
versity catalogue was more
misleading than one of Coach
Wolf 's tricky reverses.
All of the peeves and grieves
that students have we admit
that some are not justified
all point to one fact, -however:
this business of educa
tion is a 50-50 proposition. The
professors teaching the
courses are only orie-half of
the deal,. while the guinea pigs
sitting out front are. the other
half. .
It seems only right that the
guinea pigs should have a fair
chance to at least squeal not
so much in a hit and miss way,
but in an official, organized
manner. Hence, faculty, how
about consenting to Dave Mor
rison appointing a student
committee on curriculum, to
meet with the faculty com
mittee, and find out just what
the students gripe about. Then
we would really discover once
and for all whether all the
grumblings we hear around
exam week are justified.

had less to be thankful for.
Those who departed for
their firesides were able
temporarily at least to walk
to and from their places of
residence without sinking up
to their necks - in - mud. The
unfortunates who remained
over had nothing to be thank
ful for except that they were
blessed by dry weather until
Sunday morning.

Write Us a Letter
The Daily Tar Heel be
longs to the students. The
best way they can assert their
ownership is by writing con
tributions for the Letters to
the Editor column. Your
paper welcomes letters.
However, it is necessary to
set up standards for letters.
They must . be signed (not
initialed). They must be brief
(letters of more than 300
words may be cut). They must
be typed, double space (even
the linotype men cannot de
cipher some of the missiles
that come to the office). The
subject must be worthy of the
space it requires (in other
words, freshman English
themes not wanted) .
Just meet those specifica
tions and we will be happy.

Apropos of Nothing
Not long ago a Chi Omega friend
of ours was attending , a . lecture
when a hulking brute with a six
day beard lowered, his massive
frame into the seat next to her. He
was just a little short of being an
orang-outang, and the poor, girl
cowered in the corner of her seat.
She nearly fainted when he turned
his neanderthalic head toward her
to say: "Pahdon me, but is that
Chanel No. 5 you're wearing?"
I like the story : John Sands is
telling on himself. He was at the
Delta Psi house at Virginia after
the game and thought he was mak
ing sensational time with a sloe
eyed member of the snakier sex.
After two hours of steady line
slinging John said, "Come on, let's
get out of this gummy . joint."
"Well," said the gal doubtfully, "I
. think we'd better speak to that boy
next to you first. You see, he's my
fiance."
Incidentally, John is practicing
moose calls now.

name. "I think my issue last year
was much cleaner than this one," he
said as he examined the fall issue of
the new magazine. However, Mack
thinks that Witten and the staff did a
very good job, and put some really
good stuff in it. .
The winter quarter will surely see
Mack back at school if he can possibly
make ft. He said he is looking forward
to graduation, but that he will not be
able to finish this year. He does not
know if he will have time to work on
any of the student publications when
he comes back, "and besides," he stated,
"they probably won't have me."
Having taken only one journalism
course, Mack is undecided as to what
course to continue work in, but ' at
present, he is planning his future in
newspaper work.
While at Lillington, Jailer Ken Mat
thews and Mack became very good
friends. Mack helped with painting
and odd jobs around the jail, which
made a big hit with Matthews. Mack
said the jailer was a swell person and
a good friend. "I believe he under
stands human nature better than any
body I ever knew. He tries to make
all of the prisoners feel good and en
courages them by being kind."
Spends Time Reading
It is very probable that Mack needed
a haircut often, because he was allow
ed to go to the barber shop in Lilling
ton for his haircuts. "I was never
locked in except during the first week,"
he said. He had. access to the library,
and could leave the jail to get books.
C R Q
He said he spent most of his time read
ing. , There was not much of an atmo
sphere conductive to study at the jail,
so Mack was unable to complete the
correspondent courses he began. He
assured too that he was not filled with
a feeling of "melodrama" and that no
"inspirations for writing" came to him
during his sentence. He added that he
is not planning to write a true story
of his experience, nor an autobio
graphical novel.
Mack proved to be a good handy man

Dear Sir: '
So great was my enthusiasm over
the Carolina-Virginia football game
this year that I feel apologetic for
not writing sooner. It was an ex
cellent game to watch, and I take
this opportunity to congratulate the
Carolina team and its coach on bring
ing to Scott Stadium the . cleanest

seen anywhere. I mean to include the
Virginia team in that last state

He's still running from the little
by helping type and make out reports
in the county doctor's office. He spent
some time helping with the conscrip
tion too. "I was not allowed to regis
ter then, but I did as soon as I was
freed," he said.
The fact that Mack has gained ten
pounds since he began his sentence
proves that he was fed well. He said
he had really delicious food, cooked
by a jolly negro woman who livened up
the atmosphere quite a bit. "She sure
ly did make good biscuits," he said.
The time was not particularly bor
ing or long, Mack said except maybe
the last week. The lowest feeling he
had was when he learned that his parole
was refused him. "The first time I
knew it was when I read it in the news
paper one morning," he said. "The
only reason I expected one was that
the parole commissioner had talked
with me about it." - .
There seems to be no unhappiness or
bitterness in Mack's attitude. He said
he has absolutely no bad effects from
his experience in fact he hardly ever
thinks of it, not because it is an un
pleasant memory, but that it seems like
only a jsmall part of his life. "I guess
the experience did me good," he admitted.
