For This News: BOB HOKE Gravy in Government Afore interesting and important than the main show itself is the conflict between better government and practical politics involved in the struggle to reorganize class government. , The bill, as unanimously endorsed by the student government committee, will not alone be the gigantic broomneeded to sweep "class government clean. But it is a step, perhaps the opening shot of a far-reaching series, in the right direction. It will abolish the traditional 'class committees, often totalling more than 50 students, packed with political debris, cumbersome and unwieldy. It will clear the way for efficient action by class governments, if ever ac tion by them is needed or required. It does away with one more elective office, lessening the be wildering number of candidates the average student must face each spring. More vital, however, has been the reaction to these provisions in political and legislative circles which after all are not very distinct from each other. In its early stages the bill met almost unanimous approval from everyone concerned. But practical political leaders indi . cated they would not support it. They foresaw a, lessening of political "gravy" and interference with some of their unan nounced nominations. , , ' At first these political leaders were pretty frank about indi cating why they opposed the bill. But by yesterday afternoon they had rationalized themselves into arguing that their oppo sition is based on altruistic grounds. Their motives in providing most of the opposition are cer tainly questionable. It would be a disgrace to the student legis- lature and to the campus if these party leaders succeed in block . ing an improvement in class government because they think it might curtail or interfere with politipl plans. This is at least possible. It is possible that political parties -absorbed in their own maneuvers are trying to tell the legis lature and the campus what to do and when to do it. The issue is better government versus practical politics. That means the time is far past due when students must put into practice the age-old right to tell their elected legislative repre sentatives what they want done. C. B. . ' Sheep and the Goats Tut-Tut, Chillunb The library took a wise step when it changed the regu lation for checking out re serve books overnight. These special works may now be taken out at 6:30 p. m. in stead of 9 o'clock. , In the past everyone ar rived at the library between 7:30 and 8 o'clock. A few stu dents tried to study but gave t up as the bedlam broke loose around them. After all, at least half of those present were just killing time and so cializing until they could check out books at 9. Now the studious students will be able to study and the playboys and playgirls will check out their book early and go to more appropriate spots for their tete-a-tetes. cniKmo row atoiav bwtww mr National Advertising Service, Inc.

But we remember being told once by someone who knew that a musical selection should be applauded only at its conclu sion, that the audience should remain silent at the end of the movements of . symphonies, sonatas, etc. Director Hans Kindler and the National Symphony were applauded in- correctly Tuesday night. Such . action by the audience does not upset the plan of salva tion, but it does show that we could brush up on our musical manners to good advantage.

Well, let me assure that in com parison to another spot on this fair campus, it is a hot box. A ver itable tropic spot. For 111 Mur phey, in which room 100 people gather , at 9:30 (or thereabouts) every morning to shiver and shake and watch their breath turn y'- to icicles before they very eyes, is worse. The usual procedure upon entering a classroom is to take off your coat, etc., and prepare for in tellectual pursuits. But not . so in 111. You button up your overcoat, tie your scarf around your head, and put on the gloves you grabbed when you left the room, at 8:26. Then you find a seat and begin to prepare yourself (mentally, of course, you've done N all you could physically), for the slow, sure chill that turns you into a numb Form by the time that 10:20 rolls around. What about the radiators, you say? As Dr. Harland has so aptly de scribed them, they are .like the sheath on the door of the Greek temple once a functional appara tus, but at present purely decora tive. To keep class morale high (how, I'll never know) Dr. Harland has instituted temperature read- " Lend An Ear , By Louis Harris The Self-Help Boys They're behind the library coun ters getting out the nightly load of rechecked reserve books . . . they're - in the book ex handing out our 10:30 coke . . . they're helping us make our life more en joyable in the dorm stores, in taking care of our laundry and other pain ful duties . . . they're everywhere on the campus. They are the grit boys who have hitched the destiny of their future to the star of work and their own ability to carry out a job well ... they make us proudly claim that Carolina is the place for a poor boy to get a break . . . they bring us down to the harsh realities we will have to face when we are out in the world away from this paradise of cokes, Gimghoul, night clubs, and bright, red-lipped coeds. i Latest figures show that 550 of our fellow students wouldn't be in school now, unless they knew that they had it in themselves to do. a dual job well. They know that they can .do their school work and also . do their self-help jobs. Always when a boy thinks about college and knows that the family finances are low, because the crops weren't so bountiful this year, or the store wasn't making money like it used to, or sister was sick and all the available funds were used for medicine or doctors, he is faced with the problem of working harder than most of-his fellow classmates up at the University. The potential .self-helper is fac ed with study when other boys and girls are down at Aggie's. He is faced with the struggle to get the most-out of his studies, make enough to eat three good meals a day, and to slice off a lot of the hell-raising that most of us don't want to give up. . . It takes guts and grit and plenty of it. Yet, the facts bear out the heal thy and admirable proof that self- . help students actually do their job better than the rest of the student body. Last quarter 65out of 350 NYA , students made the honor roll. Eight een percent of the self-help stu dents made the coveted honor lists, while an average of only 10 percent . of the student body made it. Four -of those boys who help serve you a more enjoyable breakfast in the Dining hall made it. Four of the fellows, to whom you show your little pink slip to get your basket down at the gym, made it. Many others scattered over the ' campus proved it could be done. Credit is certainly due these un sung heroes of the tray collecting, . soda jerking, office typing crew.

They rise to 'the top in our extra curricular activities, as is evidenced by a scholarship holder running for president of the student body and an ex-self -helper running Graham Memorial. They learn a lesson of practical work, character develop ment, and self discipline. Most of all, they learn how to save, instead of waste, time. It's a tough struggle, but they are coming through with flying colors'. If these are the type of men that our University can produce self help or not then our fears for the mysterious future are lessened considerably.

General Sir John' Dill, chief of the imperial staff, and. Eden arrived on their surprise visit as British quar ters asserted that Italy's African em pire is crumbling rapidly under Brit ain's assaults and that "the end is in sight."

Germany's huge Balkan army in Rumania is testing pontoon bridges on the Danube between Rumania and Bulgaria, according to reports reach ing Belgrade tonight, and marching troops as well as heavily loaded lor-, ries have entered Bulgaria at Rus chuk, Mikopol, and Vidin. The British were said to be moving swiftly to establish themselves in strongholds around Greece, including the fortification of Lemnog as a strong naval and air base, before the Ger mans can strike across Bulgaria and down upon Greece. .
