1941 at the annual banquet last night.

S&F To Award Title, Cup
To Most Beautiful Girl
By Philip Carden
Sound and Fury, following up its
protest Monday against the junior
senior dance committee's plan "to ig
nore Carolina coeds" by picking the
prettiest import at the dance set, yes
terday announced that it will award
the title of "Queen of Junior-Seniors"
and a loving cup to the most beautiful
girl at the first formal tonight.
The cup, engraved with the inscrip
tion, "Queen of Junior-Seniors, Pre
sented by Sound and Fury," will be
presented just before intermission
tonight to the girl adjudged most
beautiful on the floor by a committee
of eight judges.
To Reclaim Cap
"We will reclaim the cup after the
dance," Art Jansen, president of the
musical comedy group, said, "and have
the winner's name engraved thereon
Saturday morning. It will be display
ed in Graham Memorial."
Herb Hardy, president of the se-
nior class, last night voiced approval
of the proposal, Jansen said, and f av-

At the same time new members

Following the banquet attended by
old and new members, the executive
committee presented a plan to estab

award plan, whkh had already been
amended to include coeds after the
S&F protest Monday.
Neither Pinky Elliot, junior presi
dent, nor Bill Alexander, junior dance
committee chairman, could be contact
ed last night for comment.
Jansen said that Sound and Fury
would sponsor the award annually in
following the club's policy of "giving
the Carolina coed a break." The junior-senior
dance set, he said, is ideal
for such an award since "it is one of
the few major events in which the ju

classes en toto in a mixed social
event." -

Taylor Report
To Go Before ;
Administration
After hearing explanation by Fere
bee Taylor, the Student Legislature
last night adopted a resolution to pre
sent to the administration a plan, as
worked out by Taylor's temporary fi
nance committee, for the operation of
the Fees bill. - , .
Although not in the form of a bill,
the operating plan of the fees bill was
approved unanimously by the legisla
tors. Speaker Terry Sanford explain
ed that the resolution will be sent to
the "administration," presumably first
to the Student Welfare board.
Purpose of Bill
Taylor began his report by stating
the purpose of the Fees bill: "to take
the allocation of fees from the admin
istration and place it in the hands of
the students through " their legisla
ture." Excepted from the block fee
were class dues, income from profes
sional schools, and the athletic fee.
Chief subject of debate was whether
budgets should be passed separately as
they are filed with the finance commit
tee, or together, after all requests are
made. Apparently fearing that there
may be insufficient funds left after ap
propriations had been approved for
many organizations, a few legislators
raised objections. Taylor explained
that with the aid of audits for past
years, the finance committee would be
able to anticipate the need of each
agency separately. ..,.. . .- , -
Present plans are for the collection
of $14 annually in blocked fee, which
is now itemized for publications, stu
dent entertainment, debates, student
government, the Woman's association,
and the Student union. "The fees now
collected for these activities will lose
identity and be part of the block fee,"
Taylor stated.
Senior Softball
Team Routs Duke .
Aggregation, 11-1
Herb Hardy's seniors regained their
prestige which they lost in the Ju
nior rout of Tuesday by giving the
Duke seniors a lesson in the art of
Softball playing as they walloped
their rivals from the nearby campus,
11-1, yesterday.
Prexy Hardy and Coach Jimmy
Hambright drafted some of Coach
Wolf's footballers and these Carolina
gentlemen gave the Duke seniors add
ed woe to carry away with their mem
ory of last fall's gridiron riot. Gates
Kimball, Jim Lalanne, and Bob Smith
were the stars for Himbright's team
along with Luther Hodges. Jimmy
Hambright pitched for the winners
and gave a sparkling exhibtion.

At War Party Administration
By Paul Komisaruk
Phil LaFollette last night lashed out at the "war party" in the
United States claiming they "are trying to save yesterday," and
asserted that he foresees the "disintegration of the British Em-
Addressing a crowded Memorial hall, under the auspices of the
Carolina Political union, the three time governor of Wisconsin, said,
"no army fights successfully for yesterday, and no American army
should do it. Tomorrow's army is what we will make it."
ulf wo rrn in " ha fnnTrvf "tlio npn.A
pie will have been betrayed. They
should have been told," he claimed.
"At least in the last war we went ideal
istically and that brought the nation
to ruin." -
Defining England's position, LaFol
lette said that, " in complete justifica
tion, Britain will not worry about the
United States, and I don't believe it
manly to use other people to fight our
war." He continued, "if this is our
war, we should be in it."
LaFollette condemned the war par
ty's policy of shouting "it's our war,
and denounced the practice of "buying
time." "If you are interested in pre
serving the four freedoms, use your
heads," he implored. "There is no sin
gle issue that people can not decide
for themselves."
America's task, he explained, is to
''take the course that experience tells
us too. Germany told her people that
they were faced with the choice of dic
tatorship or starvation, liberty and un
employment, or employment and no
liberty."
"We must," he averred, "put on a
living demonstration that America is
not facing merely the problem of dic
tatorship and starvation. We must
prove this is a lie. -. Democracy can do
it."
War is not the solution, LaFollette
claimed. We need "fundamental wis
dom in our hearts. We need wisdom
out of experience."
Turning to Britain, the fiery mid
westerner said that the British gov
erning class is "tired of Empire. They
are getting old, and bitterly resent
criticism. My conclusion is that we
are witnessing the disintegration of
the British Empire." .
"We stand on the verge of war," he
said, "but I do not think we will go."
Out of the present war, LaFollette
said, "I can predict one of two things.
A Communistic chaos, or more logi
cally, a United Europe. And," he add
ed, "in 15 years, speaking in economic
terms, I feel certain that the United
States will face a United Europe."
Answering invasion charges of this
hemisphere, LaFollette pointed out the
incredibility of such a feat, producing
statistics that showed such a venture
to be almost humanly impossible.
"I have confidence in our American
economy," he claimed, "and it will with
stand the pressure of a German vic
tory." "
Again discussing England, LaFol
lette was asked if "we are not our bro
ther's keepers?". He replied that "we
are, but our brothers are in America,
and our cousins are in England."

Ex-Governor Lashes
LaFollette Says
U. S. Not Likely
To Enter War
"... and if they drag us in, those
responsible will reap a harvest I
shudder at."
He doesn't see us in the war, and
he doesn't see us acting as Europe's
savior again.
Phil LaFollette, hard-hitting Pro
gressive party, leader in the United
States maintained yesterday afternoon
that in spite of the pronounced ef
forts of the ""war party,' you can't
take a country into war with only 51
percent of the people for it."
LaFollette pulled no punches. He
squarely placed war fever and blame
for war trends on the newspapers,
movies, radio and commentators, "who
are fighting to save yesterday, while
we are struggling to build a new to
morrow."
Percentages
And then he explained the percent
ages. 'Ninety-eight percent of our
publications are committed to war,"
he said, and added to this, "198 per
cent of the movie industry, '66 23
percent of radio, and 98 percent of the
commentators make up this war par
ty." ,
He asserted that the vocal opposi
tion to our entering this war is 20
times as strong as it was in the last
war. He pointed out that for that
reason President Roosevelt cancelled
a scheduled speech the other night.
"He has a wonderful political ear," La
Follette said, and he knew that the
