Clean Up Campaign
A story. qn the front page of
the Daily Tar Heel yester
day told of a united effort on
the part of students and the
cleaners of Chapel Hill to
come to some arrangement for
bettering jobs on cleaning and
pressing clothes. .
V Without a doubt, the clean
ing situation in our campus
town has been deplorable dur
ing the past year. There are
now six firms taking student
cleaning, either from the dor
mitories, the fraternities, or
out fti town. Yet, represent
ing so many thousands of dol
lars in equipment and so many
men working in one trade,
, they have at times failed to
give the students good results
for their money.
But, what with cut-throat ,
competition, rush orders and
rush jobs, taking almost any
job that comes along, and try
ing to beat the other fellow
to the punch, the students
seem to have been forgotten.
Their only -interest is to see
that they get their clothes
cleaned without shrinkage,
tears, and spots. In other
words, the students, like any
other consumers, are only in
terested in the results they
get when they lay down the
price. f .
. It's about time something
was done with the cleaning
situation in town. There has
been talk of persuading a
large state firm to open a plant
in Chapel Hill. Then, too, a
suggestion has been made
that the students begin a co
operative or get the laundry
to install a dry-cleaning es
tablishment. . There are in
finite possibilities.
We think ,the cleaners in
town can give the students ef
ficient service. As it looks from
here, in the future they1 just
have to put a little more stress
on the job they do instead of
on the volume of business or
the profits made. L. H.
What Do Yoa Think?
Everybody cusses the Tar
Heel. It has major and minor
critics. Some say the editor
ial policy" is crazy; others say
there is no editorial policy.
Some say the Tar Heel ought
Sports: PAUL KOMISARUK
to solve the war; others think
we can do better for all con
cerned by pulling ihe jweeds in
our own. garden.
- Some would turn the policy
making power over to a board
of faculty members; some
would abolish the paper and
spend that part of the publica
tions fee on beer and pop
corn. ? -.
Some would require us to
publish every letter to the
editor, even if it ran four
typewritten pages and said
nothing ; some demand that we
publish lies about ourselves
and others.
Some kick the reporters for
inaccuracies or for bad news
coverage; others condemn us
for space given or denied cer
tain activities.
If they are thinking about
the Tar Heel that's good.
Maybe some of our critics will
come down and offer their
services in digging up the
facts for the news pages, or in
seeking out truth for the edi
torial page. If they do' not
cotton to the idea of joining
us in our. endeavor for a bet
ter paper, maybe they will
shut up. That will be fine.
Method Provided
Jack Connelly student laun
dry representative, has con
ducted an m investigation on
laundry conditions . in the
dormitories, and he reports
trje students are getting satis
factory service. Connelly
started his investigation fol- ,
lowing an editorial in Tues
day Daily Tar Heel which
criticized the service. "I
talked to all of the assistant
dormitory managers person
ally," Connelly said, "and all
of them said they had re
ceived but few complaints."

No Open Debate
To the Editor:
I am writing to make a sugges
tion which I think is better than Mr.
Ericson's of a debate here in Chapel
Hill on the issue of war vs. peace.
I gather from Mr. Ericson's let
ter that he is against war. My sug
gestion is that instead of debating
with anyone here on the campus,
where everyone is agreed in being
against war, that he and his friends,
who 'apparently think they know
how to get peace, go ahead and do
so. I am certain not only everyone
here but millions of people through-
IBir th days
(Students whose names appear
below may obtain a movie pass by
calling at the box office of the Car
olina Theater on the day of publi
cation.) I
When.j the editorial was
written on laundry conditions
earlier in the week, there was
a reason. One student had
written to us and several
others had talked to us per
sonally asking if something
could be. done to improve the
laundry service. There is a
possibility that the cases
called to our attention are the
only ones existing on the cam
pus. Connelly stated that the
students should complain if

out the world would be exceeding
ly grateful to Mr. Ericson if he
would manage this and do it quick
. ly. Instead of spending his energies
: debating here in Chapel Hill, Mr.
f Ericson should take a trans-Atlan-tic
clipper, go to Berlin, get a con
ference with Mr. Hitler, and argue
Hitler into withdrawing his armies
from France, Holland, Belgium,
Norway, Denmark, Poland, . Czecho
slovakia, into destroying his imple
ments of war, disbanding his arm
ies, and giving the world visible evi
dence of a peaceful disposition.
I am sure the overwhelming ma
jority of people everywhere share
' with Mr. Ericson his desire to
"stop this holocaust before civiliza
tion, in every country involved, is
reduced to a shambles." "Let us
have discussion," he says, "to be fol-
- lowed by an open forum." Two years
ago, Mr. Ericson was not" advocat- ,
v. ing discussion of this issue. Then
his mind was fixed on collective
security, that is, union of' Britain,
France, Russia, and the United
, States against the Nazis and Fasc-
ists. . Of all the persons I . have
known who have heaped scorn on
efforts to, talk Hitler out; of mak
ing war, on the misguided appease
ment policies of former Prime
- Minister Chamberlain, Mr. Eric
. son was among the foremost. Then
he was for action, not talk. Now,
following in Mr. Chamberlain's
footsteps, he wishes himself to lead
everybody to Munich. .
I, for one, say that if he is so
sure of the efficacy of further dis
cussion, if he has so much faith in
the power of his talk, let him go,
and take all his comrades with him.

"Red-Baiting"
To the Editor:
Harvey Lebrun's letter in the
February 11 issue is a perfect ex
ample of how the device of red
baiting is utilized to gain one's ends
when he is not capable of present
ing a logical argument.
Lebrun, who most assuredly fav
ors "all out" aid to Britain, was
angered because several Tar Heel
editorials pointed out the danger
o f destroying our democracy
through legislation ostensibly de-

(Editor's note: This is the first
of two columns which will appear
today and tomorrow, explaining
the nature of the duties of the
President of the Student body, and
what the writer considers to be the
major problem facing students and
their self -government' today. It is
a direct challenge to both candi
dates to take a stand on the is
sue.) CAMPUS CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Now that- both political parties
have nominated their candidates
for the presidency of the student
body, both Ferebee Taylor, the UP
standard bearer,
a -n A T t Ti m a n
I Hobbs, the SP
nominee, win
, probably settle
d o wn to the
usual race of .
meeting fellows
and generally
lining up votes
so that they can
win.
If we take a fleeting look at the
last national presidential campaign,
we will find many episodes similar
to our campus political scene.- As
Willkie toured the nation, making
speeches off the back end of a rail
road car, he shook hands and smiled
pleasantly he was meeting people, ,
and better still, having people meet
him. - -
Yet, there is a difference in. the
Willkie-Roosevelt race and the Tay-lor-Hobbs
campaign. Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Wendell Willkie
stood for opposite viewpoints - on
governments each had an ideal he
. was working for, and each had his
own method of getting it. On our
campus, we find both men striving
for the same thing to make stu-
dent government at the University
of North Carolina a working form
sof self-rule, under which the stu
dents learn to make their own de
cisions and take a whole-hearted in
terest in the honor code and their
campus code, not only in class
rooms, but throughout every phase
of their lives on the campus.
Here is the main, job of the Presi
dent of the Student Body. He must .
be a good administrator and know '
how to handle people. He must have
a keen sense of human nature and
an understanding of people, and
the Student Council when he ships
a boy for a violation. ;
Yet, all of these duties add up to
only one question: What goal is
the president of the : student body
driving toward? ,
He is apparently trying to make
! student government a working unit.
He realizes that the broad history
of student life on this campus
shows sthat students do not want
rule from above, but demand that
they regulate their own lives. He
also realizes that these freedoms
that we have on the campus the
lack of dormitory proctors, quiz
examiners, a faculty-controlled
honor court, a completely uncen
sored press all these and many
and k.
they failed to receive first rate
service.' "However," he added,
"they should complain to the
right parties." Students may
call Jack Connelly at 215
Grimes, or phone the laundry
vdepartment direct if they are
dissatisfied with the service.

, .-signed for the purpose of aiding
Britain. Instead of attempting to
refute these arguments Lebrun
turned to red-baiting.
First, merely by his own asser
tion, Lebrun came to the conclusion
that the ASU is "Communist-dominated."
Then turning to the Tar
Heel editors, who incidentally have
never been even remotely connected
with the ASU, he links them with
the ASU and ipso facto the DTH
editorial board, and any other group
which he happens to disagree with,
is "Communist-dominated."
He then proceeds to write a slan
derous letter to the Durham Sun '
where his purely fabricated allega
tions will come to the attention of
avowed enemies of the University,
Thus we see . how, without citing
one bare fact, Lebrun creates a
mythical conspiracy-all by dragging
out the odorous red herring.
Finally, as a last resort, Mr. Le
run injects the issue of American
ism into the scene.. Such demagogi
cal flag waving was best character-r-
ized by the . venerable Dr. Johnson

The only way we can hope t
keep maintaining our liberal ats
phere is not to let it fall backT
the far too faithful and in this cl
unwilling hands of Dr. Frank G

too, can we allow just a few "iZ
terested and energetic student lead
ers to handle the job. The student
body president must have an act.C
support from the students whc
top man he has been selected.
The .only sort of self-governaer.t
that will work is that in which eveiy
student feels it is his place and re
sponsibility to see that his govern
ment "is run efficiently, effective! v
and for the welfare of the whole.
