Inevitably its members would have to decide whether their group was to become an out and out speaker-getting or ganization or whether they should maintain its old position" primarily as a forum for the discussion of international af fairs. Much as its more ambitious wing sought to breathe life into a hybrid policy, it became more and more evident as time passed that the laborious busi ness of procuring speakers swallowed the old discussions policy with no trouble at all. Club meetings dwindled into nothing more than routine planning. Group discussion of international affairs (avowed policy of the national IRC chapters over the country) became things of the past. To a certain group of mem bers, assured in the beginning that speaker-getting was only to be a minor function, the re sults were disturbing. Already the CPU had beenOerforming such a function well and in spite of all arguments that the IRC intended to remain in the foreign field, it had become fairly clear that separating the foreign and domestic among speakers was practical ly impossible. Tne club's ad ministrative group seemed positively bent toward reshap ing the IRC into an outright competitor of the CPU. Com petition in the speaker-getting field where funds are limited can lead only to weakened ef ficiency on both sides. Several IRC members had no desire to see such a thing happen. In a hectic session iast week these members heard the ad ministrative group suggest that they resign if they disap proved of the club's work last quarter. With those words the "steering group threw over board all attempts to swing the dissenters over to the side of the new policy. When it was Editor . Managing Editor Business Manager Circulation Manager Issue: Sports: ABBY COHEN clear that speaker-sponsoring was to push aside everything else, those who favored the old policy resigned in pro test. " ' On Sunday the IRC's presi dent announced an old-fashioned bull session as the prin cipal topic of business for Mon day night's meeting. Clearly the resignations are forcing him back to another stab at the old hybrid policy. Though it may toddle along for a while, it has been too well proven by the CPU that when a group is after speakers it has little or no time for anything else. As a speaker - sponsoring group the new IRC is obvious ly doing nothing more than copying a system originated and carried outvto many suc cesses by the CPU. All justi fications for such aping lose themselves in a maze of petty words when it becomes clear that in making the change the IRC has driven from its ranks ' some of its oldest and most faithful members. Mid-Terms and Honor Twice a quarter, the library gets a flurry of requests for reserve books that haven't been opened all quarter, lights in the lower quadrangle begin to burn late into the night, and w generally the campus puts on its specs and settles down to book-work for a change. The occasion for all the con centrated effort this week is mid-term exams "for freshmen and sophomores. At the end of the quarter come final exams, a tidal wave that sweeps every student in its wash. As the students' 'over worked, rushed efforts for exams increases, so the activi ties of the Student council and all the little honor councils grow by leaps and bounds. Each quarter, the honor sys tem is violated by several of us, who either are frightened into cheating on an exam or who just plain try to get away with what we can. ' Honor and responsibility are the very backbone of our cam pus life. All too often, we talk about this abstract system as Apropos of Nothin Recall McCall: She looks the samo But she's not at all Coeds are a peculiar offshoot of the human race. Since they are rarely fruilty of saying what they mean, this gargantuan glossary of girlish garglings has been compiled, with the help of a Virginia column ist, for the edification of all guile less members of the cruder sex, north and south of the border. "You certainly, are a good danc er" means in coed double-talk "For gosh sakes keep those arch less slabs off my new shoes for the next three steps anyhow. "I'm really not hungry at all" really means "Grilled Hungarian eagle, a side of musk ox; and a foaming beaker of yak milk is about "I don't think much of people who drink, do you?" can be translat ed into "I could spot you a pint and still drink you under this sturdy festive board, big boy, but I don't want to embarrass you. . . ." ''I'm really not the type you're the third boy I've ever kissed" is literally Listen, waffle-mouth, who ever told you you could fling woo? "Kissing you is like frying to get emotional with a smoked halibut. "I think there's really a deeper, more sensitive you that other peo ple don't understand" means "Bro ther, you bore me stiff! You've got as much personality as a tem porary filling. ..." "Goodnight, I've had such a love ly time!" means "Get your foot out of the door, sucker, I've got a really good late date in five min utes." I'm beginning to think that there's both a negative and affirm ative side to this floo business sometimes the eyes, have it and sometimes the nose, (stinques) A sad commentary on Carolina was the conduct shown by the audi ence at the fights Saturday night. In front of any other audience it would have been bad, but booing and yelling in front of a group not ed for its gentlemanly decorum at sporting events showed inexcusable bad taste on the part of some. (Social significance, Clampitt!) Whether the audience thinks Milt . Harris wuz robbed and decides to express its untutored opinion by booing . will in no way effect the referee's decision (I gather that we offered him a higher bribe than Virginia did), but I guess no matter how urgently Charlie Nelson and others crusade, that certain bunch in every audience will remain the same (See Obnoxious: Roget's Thesaurus). It's going to take some old fash ioned trouping by Sound and Fury to put over a show with J age Pagej songs always in the background. A boy in the dining hall last week, seeing a girl he thought he 'a fine and mighty thing, and yet do little to understand it and do something about it. During orientation week, a freshman cannot be expected to learn the true meaning of honor. He must live with and work for it, before he can ap preciate it and understand it in its true sense. We always have liked the analogy about honor that goes like this: Honor is some thing like playing on a foot ball team. Every man owes it to the other to do his part thoroughly. When the tackle fails to make his block, he is not only letting down the half back who gets nailed behind the line, but he is letting down everyone else on the team who did take their men out. Or suppose a fellow wTere to give you a dollar to hold for him until next week. Would you take the dollar and have a coupleof beers and go to the show, or would you keep the dollar until next week? And if you saved the dollar, would it be because you were fearful of the consequences or would it be because you had enough pride in yourself that you could shoot straight with everyone else? If you look down deep enough, you will find that this matter of trust between people is a big part of all our lives. This week, freshmen and sophomores will take their mid-terms. Each quarter, more underclassmen come up be Barnaby Conrad knew, wrote a note asking her for a date. He then entrusted the note to a colored waiter for delivery and gave him a dime,for his trouble. The colored boy, reared in Chapel Hill and therefore ignorant of such aboriginal customs as tipping, delivered the note and the dime to the girl, who immediately thought he was bartering for her time and left in a huff to let the boy know that her honor couldn't be bought or at least not for the tenth part of a dollar.

Our advice would be first: not to cheat at all; and second, if you see a fellow who is cheating, go up to him and tell him you think he ought to cut it out. If he doesn't, or if you have seen him crabbing before, don't hesitate to report him. If you don't report him, you are not only letting yourself and the whole student body down, but also the cheater himself. L..H. Fairness at the Polls The election for Student Faculty Day queen is hardly v important enough to warrant an uprising at the polls nor is an election scandal likely to result from the statement that yesterday's balloting was high ly irregular. Still, as a matter of record, it should be said that there were peculiar goings-on at the polls in the TMCA. Pollholders vied with each other to influence voters, and it isn't difficult for a charm ing Chi O, Pi Phi, or ADPi to talk a guileless freshman into seeing things their way about one - candidate or another. There were frequent reports of this practice and others of absentee balloting. We suggest that the proper ' YMCA committee take neces sary steps on Friday to have a fair election. Publication TAR AN' FEATHERS By 3Iartha Clampitt Probably the best feature of the January Tar an Feathers is the excellent cover. The outline photo graph of the Carolina Couple is one of the best in the issue, and plus the' clever background of basket ball and boxing tickets, it makes a ' hit right away. The photography angle, is carried over to the inside with even more originality and artistry than in the previous issue, and all credit goes to G. B. Lamm for making Tar an Feathers alive with his typical campus shots. "Tar an' Feathers Goes To the Library to Study" is by far the best feature of the issue. The pic tures are interesting and different, and help to make the magazine what it should be an organ of true campus interests and activities. , More pictures are to be found in . "Study" a comprehensive guide to study habits. The shots of Fair fax Bates, Georgia Poole, Louise Stiefelmeyer and Mary Louise Breazeale are' particularly good. This may have been in anticipation of Feb. 15. As usual, alumnus Ernest Craige's cartoons are the cleverest in the magazine, and with apropos sketches, he carries on. The other cartoons are -fair, and have a defi Letters To The!Editor America First To the Editor, Dear Sir: . I have been gratified to see that ' there are several writers on the Daily Tar Heel staff who are un afraid to express their opinion regarding the war in Europe know ing fell well that they are sound ing a minority voice. There are a few left on this campus who con tinue to keep their thinking prac tical and their reasoning logical. An editorial in the Daily Tar Heel a few days ago struck the key note to our present problem. After America has again blunder ed into war under the guise of de fending all that is good and holy; after our youth have again been buried in a hole, and we have had a little time to .look around and think, we shall ask the question "why?" Why have we refused to learn from history? We learn in psychology thai man is able to learn from past experiences, whereas the lower animals are unable to profit by what has already happened. Right now I am beginning to think that men and mules have a lot in common. .. We boys of army age have been fed propaganda in a most clever and effective manner. It has been so ef fective that a large majority of stu dents here truthfully think that England is fighting our war. I con demn such propaganda as bad. It is bad because it is leading America into war. All of us are fully aware of the dangers of a Hitler dominat ed Europe. We know that Fascism destroys individual freedom and that blood and cruelty have been the passwords in a horrible destruction GRAIL DANCE JAN.

"Infirmary Blues' was undoubted ly a good idea when it started out. But Jak Armstrong has partially killed it by running it on and on. even to the last page. His introduc tory paragraph was too trite to be catching, and he skipped gaily over in a sentence some of the best laughs he might have had. How ever, it was an improvement over the last article of its type, and if Tar an' Feathers continues in this vein, Editor Witten may become less disgruntled by the changeability of the tastes of Carolina students. More power to the photographers! of people's rights. But there is another thing of which we are aware America must come first! We positively can- . not afford to fight Hitler on his own terms . Why not profit by our natu ral advantage and let Fascism pay the tremendous price of an attempt ed American invasion? If Ameri ca can't defend herself from in vasion by Germany, I really don't see how we can defeat Germany in Europe.
