o Students Oppose War, Favor Aid Convoys?
The results of the CPU's Spring poll on the war show one of two
things: that the student body is either utterly misinformed or is
grossly reactionary in its political viewpoint.
The results of the poll were astounding. That students do not
want to go to war today is a moot point, and the three-to-one ma
jority here was probably to be expected. It is out from this vote
that the maze of inconsistencies and stupid contradictions come
into play.
Let us briefly look down the line: after the overwhelming vote
against war, students turned about face and favored convoys by a
slim margin. Considering the words of administration leaders
that convoys mean shooting and shooting means war, either stu
dents are ignorant of the, significance of convoys, or they just hate
to see the word "war" mentioned. :
The real blow, and the one that shows a reactionary tint on the
part of the student body is the landslide vote favoring anti-strike
legislation. Certainly, the -consistent viewpoint would be to say

quite serious.

and it would be a postponement that,
we feel, would be in the national interest.

tion or a definite bias against the rights of workingmen.
The vote on the treatment of a defeated Germany, which was
only slightly in favor of a more lenient peace, once again showed
that narrow-minded, short-sightedness has overtaken a goodly
portion of our student body. When the lesson of the last war and
the results that the harsh peace brought are recalled, it seems
utterly foolish to believe that any sort of peace can be maintained
in a world where one nation is completely smashed. Ample evi
dence is ttie unrest in present-day, German-dominated Czecho
slovakia.
On the whole, the CPU poll brought to light an intolerant campus
that certainly has not sat down and thought out the war scene
and America's part in it. The best suggestion to offer this morn
ing is that students wake up and realize that fascism breeds from
reaction, and that whether they know it or not the vote in yester
day's poll was the most narrow manifestation of dogmatic, short
run reasoning or sheer misinformation that we have seen in many
a year. , -
o Ruffinites Are Awake
One dormitory on the campus is awake.
Tuesday night, residents of Ruffin rebelled againsta long list
of muddled dormitory actions and had president Tubby Meyer
appoint a special committee to work out a dormitory constitution to
remedy matters.
The provocation for the revolt was rather insignificant some
Ruffinites objected to the proposed hayride for Sunday night. But
once the heated session began, the residents dragged out and pre
pared to club once and for all the glaring shortcomings in individual
dormitory government. '
Most significant instruction given the special committee was
that the constitution should set up definite rules in regard to ad
vising residents as to when and where nominations and elections
would be" held and setting a definite time interval between the
two. The reason: over half of the Ruffinites rolled out of bed two
weeks ago to find out that during the previous night nominations
and elections for dorm officers had been held and even one runoff
for dorm representative to the Student Legislature had been staged
all within three hours. .
Other prospective rules call for restriction against electric
razors, the elimination of excessive drinking, profanity and dis
orderly conduct, and provision for a more representative social
program.
The problems that Ruffin is attacking belong to almost every
other dormitory on the campus. Reports that some floors block
their votes for one candidate and make a joke of selecting the floor
nfi eViniilf. councilors were, if anything, more pre
pT ii valent this year than ever before. A quick
r OlIOW survey yesterday afternoon showed that
less than half of the students in Old West even voted in their elec
tion and that four other dormitories Grimes, Mangum, Everett
and Graham had 30 to 45 residents who did not cast ballots.
This paper asks immediate action by the Interdormitory council
or student legislature to secure for all dormitories on the campus a
uniform constitution or set of rules to make the dormitories ade

Library Blues
How we ever got that Economics
assignment done, well never know. It
wasn't just that the library was prac
tically in total darkness, it was that
the main essential (that book) was
very lacking.
It all began in the early afternoon
when we wandered over to the library
and requested at the reserve desk in
our most assured manner for Mac
Isaac and Smith or something similar.
The kind face on the other side of the
desk, unwillingly informed us that it
was not in but that it was due back
at 6:30. Not a bit dashed by this un-
fdreseen event we wandered about the
library for close to an hour, looking
for a familiar face that might be bent
over the elusive book. Not knowing
exactly what we would do if we found
someone with the book, we didnt look
too hard but instead had short chats
with every acquaintance we had made
since coming to Chapel Hill. They
both happened to be in the library at
the time. A short stop at the reserve
desk revealed the fact that the book
still wasn't there.
We finally sighted an innocent
stooge who had sat across the aisle
from us all year poring industrious
ly over said book or what we thought
was said book. Cleverly arranging,
ourselves in a chair opposite him, we
planned to watch him like a hawk
until he showed signs of finishing
and then pounce! After about two
hours of watching him hug the book
we gave up in desperation and pre
pared to leave for supper. On the
way out we happened , to glance
over his shoulder only to discover
he'd been doing Political Science

all the time.
Our last stop at the reserve desk re
sulted in the knowledge that if we got
back at 6:30 on the dot we'd have no
trouble getting any book at all. So
we ran home quick as a rabbit, gulped
down our dinner, had a few hands of
bridge and ripped back to the library.
Unfortunately the clock had sped
around to 7:15 in the meantime and
Maclsaac and Smith was out for the
night.
Calls Get Results
The next step was obviously to get
on the phone and try to get some mem
ber of the class -to heroically trudge
back to the library and bring us the
book at 10 o'clock. The phone book,
just so much shredded wheat, helped
not at all, but the wall of the tele
phone booth provided the answer to
our problem. We finally got someone
to promise to bring the book around
at 10 o'clock. Our job done we spent
the rest of the evening disturbing all
erstwhile scholars.
At one point we thought of writing
a theme but after dropping a week's
cigarette money down the ink machine
we gave it up for a bad job.
True to his word, at 10:20 the
knight errant arrived waving Mac
Isaac and Smith aloft. We hastily
signed it out and raced to the dorm,
managing to meet Mrs. Cobb face
to face just as the 10:30 bell rang.
The best thing to do we decided was
to go to bed right away and set the
alarm for 6 o'clock. Morning came
and the alarm went off, eliciting no
response in us except for a drowsy
feeling of irritation. And so 8 o'clock
and the usual rush to our 8:30 class
after which we dropped in at the
library to return the Maclsaac and
Smith.
'
We got the assignment dqne in no
time at all that afternoon twenty
minutes, maybe.

97 Per Cent Uninterested
"All coeds interested in their stu
dent government are asked to attend
the meeting," said Mary CaldwelL
president of WA, of Wednesday's re
organization meeting.
So 20 coeds attended a meeting to
plan a new system f coed self-government
for 600 women students. Even
discounting such factors as the raiay
weather and other meetings, not
more than 40 coeds would have attend
ed 6 of the coed student body.
AH of which is all right because
that's the way democracy works and
large meetings are usually inefficient,
but those other 580 coeds will be asked
to vote on the new system, and win
certainly be affected by it.
When the voting day arrives, it is
probably safe to say that not more
than 150 women will attend the meet
ing. And it is precisely this regrettable
situation which the proposed plan will
try to remedy.
Yet there are serious drawbacks.
These same coeds who have not at
tended previous reorganization
meetings will turn up on voting day
primed with minor criticisms and a
determination to make Mary's day
an uncomfortable one.
The real issues will be clouded,
and valuable time will be wasted is
useless wrangling. The meeting
promises to be the most "school
girlish" exhibition of the whole
year, and we've already had some
disgraceful exhibitions.
Suggestions in Order
The time to voice suggestions and
criticisms is now. Mary has placed a
box outside the WA room in Graham
Memorial for suggestions and cri
ticisms to guide the committee draw
ing up the final plans.
, Following the presentation of tbe
completed plan, a meeting of the whole
association will be called to hear final
criticisms and suggestions. These will
be considered and acted upon by the
committee before the final vote is
taken.
The meeting Wednesday proved that
there are honest differences of opin
ion regarding the details of reorgan
ization. But by voicing your ideas
now, you will insure a fair considera
tion of their benefits.
The plan won't suit everyone
there is no sense in trying to be
lieve that it will. Unfortunately, no
one has as yet devised the fool
proof, perfect system.
But instead of defeating the com
plete reorganization because each of
the 600 can't be satisfied, we might
try to see the plan as a whole.
Amendments to the plan can be
easily made after it becomes effec
tive. Each coed working on the plan
is emphatic in the need for ade
quate channels to insure efficient
action of petitions and amend
ments. Three Per Cent Agree
Whether or not the coeds want re
organization is the question to be de
cided. Mary and Jane and Melville
Corbett, president of the association
in 1939-40, are all stressing the need
of a change.
The 20 coeds Wednesday unani
mously agreed on the need for reor
ganization, and even agreed on the
general outlines of the plan. All those
who have been griping all year now
have the opportunity of doing some
really constructive work.
The danger of allowing action on the
reorganization plan to carry over until
fall need hardly be stated. If the
coeds do not reach a decision, Mary
and her council will go on their over
worked way, and a new junior class
will have to find out about their sys
tem !all over again.
