Two ' inf eriority-complexed young
men were spectating a lively box
ing match. They were cheering
their man on by booing the other -fellow
with all the obnoxious power
in their frayed vocal chords.
Finis was written to the situa
tion when both fighters left the
ring, jumped into the stands and
just poked the living daylights out
of our two boys. '
Fictional developments, yes, but
matters have to come to the point
where they would spell strategic
tactics. When we entered this Uni
versity we did so under one doc
trine, one lone tenet that we con
duct ourselves in a manner becom
ing to Carolina gentlemen. Too
late is a plea for honor, realization
of self-respect. " Nothing seems to
better the situation and perhaps the
only means to do so would be social
ostracization of offenders.
When a man, a fellow that most
of us know and like and think, of
as being one of us, must issue a
plea heard by 5,000 people who had
respected us, a plea heard by vis
itors from "another University, even
from another continent, things
have reached a pretty pass.
Editorials cannot ask grown men
to behave themselves as such. Edi
torials cannot chastize 3,000 peo
ple who have supposedly reached
the age of reason, who have entered
the realm of community leadership,
and who constitute the most cul
tured society of the state. Edito
rials, in such a case, may only re
mind Carolina students of the fact
that they have reached a point
where they can be called gentlemen
and ask them to refrain from any
act of unsportsmanship which
would detract from the meaning of
"Carolina gentleman."

Jimmy Snodgrass is worried be
cause Jimmy Snodgrass has am im
port for the Inter-Dormitory dances
and Jimmy Snodgrass doesn't want
an import, espe
cially; Genevieve
I Homestead.
J It all started
I when Jimmy's
mother attended
i the ladies aid
society meeting
down at Smith
field. You know
mrYi oct will
Jtii tit, n t:
mie's mother was talking to Mrs.
Homestead, the mother of Gene
vieve. And Jimmies mother told
Mrs. Homestead she thought it
would be just perfectly wonderful
if her son James would have Gene
vieve down for the Inter-Dormitory
dances at Carolina. Genevieve's
mother accepted the invitation right
there on the spot, and Mr. James
Snodgrass had a date whether he
wanted it or not.
When Snoddy was notified he im
mediately told mother he couldn't
afford it. That part was solved,
though, when his mother told him
the family had been saving $1 for
the past 10 years for such an occa
sion. They would, she said, give
him half of it for expenses.
',
How could he refuse? He owed
it to his family, he thought. Hadn't
they offered their best wishes when
he left for Carolina. Hadn't they
done everything for him that any
young fellow could expect. Yes, and
besides they were giving him 50
cents, more money than he had ever
had at Carolina.
I talked to Snoddy last night.
There was paper all over the floor
in his room. He's studying math,
I thought. Such was not the case.

COLLEGE BOY'S PERISCOPE
In the Passing
"Pass me the butter," said Dr. J.
P. Harland yesterday in fishing his
hat out of the ring for Student
Faculty Day king. Obviously demo
cratic and a thorough gentleman,
Dr. Harland
wants neither
regal power nor
does he want to
stand a Queen
up fact is, he
won't be here
next Wednesday
night.
At any rate,
we have to com
mend the whim
sical doctor for proving that an ar
chaeologist can dig up things other
than mummies.
Student-Faculty Day this year
seems to be creating the usual jokes
and rib-poking laffs, and, what is
more, it's moving along at a bigger
and better pace than ever before.
(This last sentence sounds more like
a Chamber of Commerce report or a
communique from Prof .Koch, but
Sis and Ike are good kids and do de
serve a lot of credit.)
The second floor of Graham dorm
will be empty in the afternoon when
they hold penny pitching contests in
the Tin Can, and if they hold a
blackjack session they can get the
whole dorm out. If they add poker
and bridge, there won't be a man
left in a fraternity house.
We expect a million laughs next
Wednesday, and if all of us will
make it a point to get up around 10
a. m., and toss the old gab around
with our profs, it'll help make a lot
of friends and make Student-Faculty
Day last all year long.
Periscope Patter
We hate to say it: but there were
a million and . one whispers going
around yesterday' that the Legisla
tors must be bald or are afraid of
the late flu epidemic, because they
just stood and chatted with their
hats on when the national anthem
was played. ...
Charlie Colby of fellow publica
tion fame he draws for Tar an
Feathers came up with the sug
gestion that a schedule be worked
out so that no more than one exam
will be given on one day. We heard
of a fellow who lost 15 pounds after
finishing his third straight exam on
Monday. Might be a good idea to
work out a schedule like they do for
finals.

photographers wandering about the

Jimmy was trying to figure out how
many friends he had, and how long
each would have to dance with his
date. Finally a gleam came in his
' eye. He had enough friends, he de
cided, not to make it too difficult on
any one of them.
I tried to cheer him up. I told
him not to worry about it any long
er. I told him there would be thou
sands of stags there. I even prom
ised to dance with his date in case
any of his friends let him down.
Jimmie replied he wasn't worry
ing about the dance. He was think
ing about the rest of the week-end.
Here's his story:
"Listen, pal, Genevieve is arriv
ing at nine o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. She has never been here be
fore, and my mother promised I
would spend the day showing her
the sights of Chapel Hill. I don't
know but two spots Gimghoul and
the Arboretum and Genevieve is
not the type to take there.
"I'm trying to talk some of the
fellows into a late date Friday
night but they say no on the
grounds they're Carolina gentle
men and don't believe in such.
"Saturday will not be so bad.
My roommate is taking her to lunch
on condition I let him have my car
and wear my new suit, tie and shirt.
I figure my roommate would wear
my clothes and use my car anyway,
so this is a good deal.
"That takes care of things for
Saturday. Sunday is going to be
the tough day. I just called the
bus station, and no buses leave here
for her home until 7:30 Sunday
night. If I'm still alive by then.
I'm going to write mother and tell
her to be more careful how she
spends that other 50 cents." -
God bless the Carolina coed.

Letters To The
Facts a Labor
To the Editor,
, ' Dear. Sir: .-. v;L"':.vL
From the recent CPU poll I can
see that Carolina students read the
papers. And almost anyone who
reads the papers today would think
that there was suddenly a tremen
dous growth in the number of
strikes in the United States. Here
are the facts!
In 1933 there were 1,695 strikes;
1934, 1,S56; 1935, 2,014; 1936, 272;
1937, 4,740; 1938, 2,722; 1939, 2,613.
In the first seven months of 1940
there were 1,148 strikes and there
was a definite decrease in every
month compared with 1939.
Strikes have been on the down
grade since 1937 and are still going
down fast!
To compare these years with the
war years of 1914 through 1918 the
facts are these. The strikes in 1914
numbered 1,080; 1915, 1)404; 1916,
3,678; 1917, 4,233 and 1918, 3,181.
You will see that in the war" year
of 1917 there were twice as many
strikes as in 1939 and there were
less strikes in 1940 than in 1939.
There were only two strikes in the
airplane industry last year by the
CIO and this union signed or re
newed contracts with 700 manufac
turers in autos and aircraft em
ploying 425,000 men.
President Roosevelt said four,
days ago that he was satisfied with
labor conditions of the nation and
that labor was cooperating fully in
defense.
I could go on and quote many
more figures but I just wanted to
get these basic figures before the
campus to show them that labor is
cutting down on strikes to help' de
fense.. There are naturally"" some
plants where you will always have
strikes because that is the only way
the employers in those plants will
paya decent wage or give decent
conditions. Labor should certainly
have the power to get these and that
