OVER THE 30 MARK
Elections are over now, and, as the last parting shots of sharp
rivalry fade away, an air that the work must be done penetrates
every new day. . ,
Tomorrow, on the dot of one-thirty, Orville Campbell and
Sylvan Meyer will begin putting out the 1941-42 edition of the
Daily Tar Heel. In their hands lies a mighty challenge; to
them goes the task of handling the vox populis, the voice of the
people.
Tonight, as the traditional keys to the managing editor's desk and the
firm handshake of congratulations cross the dinner table from Charles
Barrett and Don Bishop, the two new "boss-men" of the Daily Tar Heel
will look ahead to a year of crisis such as no other col-

Changing pf the Guard
Today's Daily Tar Heel has special significance only for
some of the members of the staff. An editor, managing editor
and sports editor will be turning over their desks to three new
men. The campus will not be generally aware of changes when JJQUSING
they read Tuesday the first TAR Heel under its new management.
olds, and that grim military routine will supplant physical ed and many
sports.
Yet, throughout all the trying times, the crises that will mount, one after
another, the Tar Heel must always move ahead. It must find its place as
an accurate, penetrating, fearless, yet ethical, newssheet. It must seek
out short run, practical gains, for just as our nation might be "one-third
ill-housed, ill-clothed, and ill-fed," so is our campus ill-housed and under
nourished in wholesome surroundings. Gray-walled, depressing dormi
tories testify to this.
But, beyond the endless string of faults that we find with our campus
and our village, there is an intangible magnet that draws us back into it.
No matter how good a thing is, it can always reach a better state, unless
it is in paradise. We love Chapel Hill and that is why we find fault with
it so often. We are only trying to improve "it, so that those here for the
present and our little brothers who will be here in the future can enjoy
life on the campus even more than we.
Putting out a daily paper is a thankless job for some twenty or thirty
hearty souls, and it means a sacrifice of picture shows, baseball games, and
many afternoons with pretty coeds. It means five or six hours a day of
tight concentration the same sort that could easily be used on books. Yet,
few are the men who have worked on the paper who will tell you that it
hasn't been worth it, every last, painstaking minute of it. The mission of
reporters and editors alike is to have fun while performing a service to the
campus-at-large.
To do this service well will be a tremendous task next year, if it is done
right. The vices of rapid Iy-changing events are closing tightly around
Chapel Hill. The old job of putting out the campus daily has become com
plex. Discretion and wisdom must jump to the forefront.
I'm one man who thinks that Orville and Sylvan can do it.
One year the Daily Tar Heel's editors will be conservative,
the next year liberal or near-radical ; it will be anti-University
administration, again it will adopt a policy of cooperation; its
attitude on student life and activities varies with the years. The
long-range picture of the Daily Tar Heel shows a paper run by
young minds sometimes immature, sometimes far ahead of
their elders in intelligence. The Tar Heel makes mistakes, but
it accomplishes good, also.
When the outgoing officers turn over their keys to their suc
cessors in the traditional ceremony at tonight's banquet, they
will be locking away their accomplishments and failures ; at the
same moment the new men will be given the keys to unlock a
year of opportunity and progress.
We will not bore the readers with what we consider "things
done" during the year. There is not room to list the things
that could have been done or the things attempted and failed.
A general statement of what the policy has been, seen in retro
spect, will be. more worth the space.
This year's Daily Tar Heel has tried to mix liberalism with
common sense. Thus, neither conservative nor radical has
found satisfaction in our policy.
We have tried to give every organization its deserved share of
ed water and power lines, divided the
property into sizable lots, then pitched
in and helped each other build homes.
Painters, carpenters, plumbers, steam
fitters, swapped hour for hour. The
ones not especially trained did their
bit by digging basements, septic tanks,
space in the news column. This may not be acknowledged by band of employees built roads, install
some organization officers, for they always have the tendency to
regard their own activities as vastly more important than those
of anyone else. But the impartial judge will stand with the
paper in this assertion.
As important as anything else, the outgoing regime promised grubbm stumps, laying pipe lines
to be fair to all campus political parties and candidates. The " SSJf
parties were told a year ago that they could expect fair play and
a deemphasis of politics. Judged by the standards demanded
by a compulsory subscription system under which we operate,
the Daily Tar Heel this year has carried out its promise. Where
papers are purely commercial and are in competition for circula
tion, they should sound their voices in political matters. But
this does not hold true with student publications. I

But Athenians, retiring early under
the curfew regulations, were resigned
to rising on a new day to the tramp

Nazi armored equipment through the

At the same time that Athenians

So, in journalistic terminology, it's "thirty" for the outgoers
and "new story" for the incoming editors. We wish them well.
Our Benediction
In conclusion we say, "We want brick sidewalks."
Twelve trim neat homes now grace
this bettertype development and oth
ers are in the process of being built.
National recognition has been given
the idea and its consummation is "dis
tinctly unique and everlastingly worth
while." For some time members of Service
Employees corporation have been
thinking, studying the problem of bet
ter housing for deserving Negro em
ployees of the University. The plan
of cooperative building was not pos
sible to the extent utilized in "Oak
wood" because few of the Negroes
are skilled workmen. It can and will
be used in land development, however.

any profit out of its enterprizes
