The great gripe so long voiced by an under-represented coed stu
dent body and an over-worked Woman's Council has at last got
results. All the women on the campus are or should be
n A Q 1A fuly aware the history and reasons for
CoedS fcnOUia the grfpe by now. Articles and editorials
Act NOW in the Tar Heel today and last week have
even described the new, remedial setup.
There seems to be little doubt now that the coeds mean business,
that this time they, will effectively organize a real student govern
ment for themselves. The only question mark concerns just when
they will do the job.
If president Mary Caldwell -waits until next fall, she may find, as
did student body president Dave Morrison, that hectic fall and
winter quarters call up serious, unforeseen issues that will not
leave any time over for reorganization.
There's still another danger if the Woman's association figures
on putting off the revision in order to enjoy the remainder of the
spring and the 6-to-l ratio. Right now, all 550 coeds have at least
a general idea of both sides of the problem. Next fall, some 300 to
400 new coeds, ignorant even of the present muddled setup, will
xCpx cux Y w"v ;A " problems use their energy to work out
a perfect system of student govern
ment. With a year till election time
comes again, they could put forth some
well-thought-out amendments to the
constitution which would not be inade
quate the day after election ...
And it would be good practice for
the day when they get a crack at state,
national and international problems.

We saw in the papers the other day

need to be convinced that brain pre

JOB
CLINIC
Welch and Finkel's "Job Clinic"
begins tonight with a talk by Mr.
Welch entitled: "Knowing Myself and
Where I Belong." Cer
tainly before one sets
out on the important
mission of finding his niche in the
world, he must take a census of his
qualities and discover for himself that
task for which he is best suited. This
sounds easy but then again with some
of us it can become quite a problem.
Mr. Welch can't tell you all about
yourself, but he can tell you a few
things which might help you to figure
out the problem. Graham Memorial
Lounge has been arranged to accom
modate a crowd.

We were beginning to wonder if the
students at the University of North
Carolina cared anything at all about
riTTTIT PUWiC affairS We f0Und
nPDATP out Sunday evening in
DEBATE Gerrard hall. When
Drs. Woodhouse and Ericson met to
debate each other on America's for
eign policy, they, found they had
large, a very large audience and an
interested one, too. We won't take it
upon ourselves, to render a decision
on Sunday night's fiery debate, but
we have made up our minds about
another thing: the debates must be
continued. If the students have enough
interest in obtaining sound informa
tion to pack Gerrard on Sunday eve
ning, a great effort should be made
to give them as much as they want.
When's the next one?
The army is getting bolder every
day. If we were to park in front of
the Y where those recruiting trucks
were yesterday, Blake

lALrk our buggy before
could get a coke in the Book Ex
But cokes are not as necessary to
national defense as dopes. ,
A lot of people are saying that
Chollie (Lindy) Lindbergh is making
an ass of himself ...
But he's out of the army.
Why don't all the students who are
retting to straighten out the world's
gandizing to learn the situation.
The spring weather isn't inducive, but better now than never.
The editorialist of today says much or little, according to one's
appraisal, but there can be no doubt that he speaks with great
fervor. Frequently the fervor is not honestly his, but an imposed
r "R installation to abet certain causes. No one
Cease tO ISe eyer truthfully. say that John Milton's
rOOIS. fervor came not from a deep and fighting
hears. In 1654 he wrote "The Second Defence of the People of
England," the words of which will ever rise as weapons in the
minds of wise men. The section which follows below is from the
great writing. It was used as an editorial in the Daily Reveille, LSU
college paper, last week.
"If after being released from the toils of war, you neglect the
arts of peace ... if war be your only virtue, the summit of your
praise, you will soon find peace the most adverse to your interest
Your. peace will be only a more distressing war; and that which
you imagined liberty will prove the worst slavery. Unless by means
of piety, not frothy and loquacious, but operative, unadulterated,
and sincere, you clear the horizon'of the mind from those mists
of superstition which arise from the ignorance of true religion, you
will always have those who will bend your necks to the yoke as if
you were brutes, who notwithstanding all triumphs, will put you
up to the highest bidder, as if you were mere booty made in war;
and you will find an exuberant source of wealth in your ignorance,
and unless you .will subjugate the propensity to avarice, to ambi
tion, and sensuality, and expel all luxury from yourselves and from
your families, you will find that you have cherished a more stub
born and intractable despot at home, than you ever encountered in
the field; and even your very bowels will be continually teeming
with an intolerable progeny of tyrants ....
"You, therefore, who wish to remain free, either instantly be
Wise, or, as sooras possible, cease to be fools ; if you think slavery
an intolerable evil, learn obedience to reason and the government
of yourselves ; and finally bid adieu to your dissensions, your jeal
ousies, your superstitions, your outrages, your rapine, and your
lusts. Unless you will spare no pains to effect this, you will be
judged unfit, both by God and mankind, to be entrusted with the
possession of liberty and the administration "of the government,
but will rather, like a nation in a state of pupilage, want some ac
tive and courageous guardian to undertake the management of
your affairs."
In Passing
This newspaper would like to urge all students to take advantage
of every opportunity afforded them to continue work on their edu
cation while there is still time to do so. Certainly those students
who have not yet been drafted and who do not think they will be
inducted into the service within the next few months might do well
to attend the University's 1941 Summer School.
And it might be well for the University's extension division to do
everything possible to help the prospective draftee finish up his
work by correspondence.

(Editor's note: The following ar
ticle first appeared in the Colgate

the Plain," by James C. Cleveland.
It has since been called a signifi
cant" item in judging the current
temper of American college youth.)
Out of the revelry of the senior
class beer party last Friday night
here has come an idea too tragic for
aughter, too' symbolic to be over
ooked, too clever to be ignored. The
idea came from the brilliant mind of
Bob Blackmore, Phi Bete and draftee
elect for the month after a date that
once spelled for him the beginning of
ife and a chance for happiness and
success.
The idea has met with approval of
varying degrees from every senior I
have talked to. The idea has had sug
gested revisions yet still stands orig
inal, penetrating and overwhelmingly
expressive. The idea is not bitterly
partisan, nor hopelessly resigned." It
has the saving grace of acceptance yet
at the same time poignant indictment.
The idea voices college youth of 1941
as I have never heard it voiced before.
It is college youth-of 1941.
The idea has to do with our senior
class gift. It is simply that the gift
this year shall be a sum of money to
erect at a suitable occasion a fitting
memorial to the first member of our
class killed in the war.
Added suggestions have poured in.
For example it has been suggested
the memorial be to the first conscien
tious objector thrown in jail. Others
have said it should be to all members
of the class killed. Restrictions have
been suggested the member must be
killed in action, or perhaps in this
hemisphere. Perhaps the money
shouldn't be wasted and some fund
started but named for the first casual
ty. And so it goes.
Bob Blackmore, who started f it all,
just shrugs his shoulders. He is still
going to be called up in July for an
army that he feels may well be mis
used. He started the idea he says as a
joke. Many people would like to think
that's all it is, a joke. Perhaps admin
istration pressure will reduce the
idea to just that, a joke.
But to me and many, many more,
the idea is not a joke. It is college
youth' of 1941, making a humble and
unheeded plea to what is left of sanity
in the country today.

EDUCATION IS VITAL
At the formal opening of the 147tfc
session of the University of Ncrth
Carolina last fall, President Frank P.
Graham pledged the total resource
of the University to the nation for
the defense of the freedom and de
mocracy it was founded to serve.
The five-point program outlined as
the role of the three units of the con
solidated University in National De
fense was:
"1. To offer the total resources of
the threefold University for the pro
gram of National Defense.
"2. To make the application for the
ROTC in line with the national poli
cies.
"3. To establish an all-University
department of civil aeronautics at
State College and secure adequate
fields of our own for flight training
at both Raleigh and Chapel Hill.
"4. To" require physical training as
a basic part of the totalfitness of all
undergraduate students.
"5. To have the University continue
to fulfill its basic and various func
tion as a University with emphasis
on the conception on National De
fense as total defense and develop
ment on all fronts of our American
freedom and democracy."
WORKERS AT WORK ...
The Greater University has under
taken this role with determination and
aggressiveness. Our own president
has been named by the President of
the United States as a member of
an 11-man super mediation board to
act in labor disputes which might
threaten to impede national defense
production. Professor Harold D.
Meyer, chairman of the Sociology de
partment", was appointed consultant
on recreation to cooperate with the
National Defense Commission last
month. The Dean of Women of the
Woman's College of the University in
Greensboro, by appointment of the
President of the United States, is
the woman member of the Advisory
Council of the National Defense Com
mission.
A good number of research project
vital to total "defense are being com
pleted in the University here. The
technological work at State College
is well geared to the defense pro-
gram. MemDers ot tne several iacui-
ies are already in the field with the
national guard and the army.
OTJR NEW AIRPORT . . .
The ROTC at State is at its great
est strength and our own mvai
ROTC has developed and grown to
something we are very proud of.
Civil aeronautical units at botb
State and Carolina are turning out
ine young pilots for future use in
the service of our country. Our new
airport is matched only by the splen
did record turned in by the students,
who flew a totarof 1,640 hours, cov
ering 125,000, without a single serious
accident and only four minor mishaps
the fall quarter.
But what is the part that we stu
dents, as citizens of the United States
and a member of this University, can
do in the national defense of this na
tion? Already Carolina students are
enrolled in the CAA course, the naval
ROTC, and even in the military ser
vice itself, but these offer no solu
tion to the great majority of the stu
dents here.
CLEAR THINKING NEEDED .
Carolina students can do more for
the defense of the country they loTe
by continuing to. pursue their educa
tion, by keeping that fighting spirit
and determination to get ahead in this
world, by doing their own thinking,
by realizing how fortunate they are
to be an American citizen.
Mere panic and hectic rushing w
the service of our country win
only as an unbalancing of the eco
nomic system of the country. Soap
box orations will only cause dissen
tion among our people. Warmongers
will make more pacifists, and more
pacifists will make more war mon
gers. Is clear thinking too much to
ask for today?
The isolationist is considered a fiftfi
columnist; the war monger, an old
munitions manufacturer; the qje
cowards; the noisy, Communists; and
the true American citizens, fools,
am a fool.
