"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Franklin . f o NOT DEFEAT, BUT VICTORY He was graduating in June. A handsome youth, just 21, who had spent four years at Carolina getting educated. His grades had been good, the accounting firm back home had offered him a good job, and the home town girl was waiting. But two months ago he had received his questionnaire. Now he was looking for ward to graduating in June, visiting the folks for a few days," and then going to Ft. Bragg for a year with Uncle Sam. Things didn't look so bright, thought Bill. Yes, it was pretty discouraging. He had worked hard, he needed but 10 hours to graduate, but "what the hell," he said, "I'll quit school and take it easy." He packed his bags, drank a few beers with his friends, and started homeward. Money was scarce, so he had to bum. Several cars passed, but none stopped. "Even people with au tomobiles don't give a damn about me," he said. Soon afterwards a car pulled up, though, and the driver told him to get in. After the preliminaries, Bill told the man that he was quitting school, that the youth of today had no future, that it was foolish to get an education and not be able to use it. The driver thought differ ently. He wras 21 when America faced the prospect of the last World War. He had some sound advice to give. "Finish the job at hand, which means your college year and your college education," he said. "But," said the youth. "No buts," came the reply, "you should stay in there and fight. Your duty to your country was fulfilled when you registered. No one but a fool would drop out without taking his final exams and closing the job' as officially as he can. Wars will not last forever, and you might want to return to college. I did after the last war, but there was a job, and I needed money, and the war did some thing to me. I've regretted it a thousand times since, and so will you." Silence broken only by the humming of the motor could be heard. There were tears in the youth's eyes, tears that seemed to wonder why he had given up with victory so near. The driver didn't mean to hurt Bill, but those tears indicated that he had hit home. "If you don't mind," Bill said, "I'd like to get out at the next town. I've some unfinished business at Chapel Hill." - Bill got out, and the driver drove on realizing more than ever that college kids today are a sensible group who want to take ad vantage of every opportunity.

What is doubly interesting is the fact that no one ever knows who will be tapped; the chosen few practically faint dead away when they are pounced upon and jerked out of their seats. One never knows, even you may be among the lucky ones. LAST CALL Right now is absolutely yo' last chance so y'all had better run right out and grab a ticket for the concert this afternoon to hear that ' 1941onderful (unoriginal but still not from Conrad) orchestra led bv ' V Tony Pastor. It really is going to be thrillin', chillin', and fillin'. Drop by and help the social room cause while listening to Pastor and his band. SAY IT AGAIN SLOWLY AND YOU'LL GET IT THIS TIME DEPT. "At one time the entire sax section of Artie Shaw's original string band, Tony Pastor, who takes the band stand in Woollen gymnasium this week-end to play for the junior-senior set of dances, has built up an organization of his own that has been termed The best band of 1941'." From Wednesday's Tar Heel. JUNIOR-SENIORS While we were rushing around yesterday making last minute sales of tickets to the Pastor concert, we happened to remember "slightly odious reports of after-dance activities at May Frolics two weekends ago. There were stories of noisy 3 o'clock sessions at Gimghoul, of police department visits to two fraternities, of general hell-raising in and around town. This weekend, it looks to us, will prove an even bigger testing ground for learning whether or not the campus is mature enough to take a dance set in its stride. All juniors and seniors and a large percentage of the freshman and sophomores fraternity and non-fraternity alike will be sweating in their tuxes to the music of Tony Pastor for just one more fling before final exam inations start. We know that there's no use in getting didactic, that there's no sense in detailed admonishments about the evils of drink and the antagonism aroused by student carousals at 3 A.M. Somehow, we do have an implicit faith in the integrity and sense of duty of the Carolina gentleman, who should realize by now how repeated unrestrained weekends must eventually affect his own free status on the Hill. Phi Betes scored a glorious first at their annual initiation banquet Wed nesday night. They were privileged to EPIC IN he present when Ar- HOMESPUN chi,bald Hend. understander o f Einstein's theory, and expert on ten nis, baseball, history, math, and sun dry, settled once and for all the im mensely important question of wheth er rip-snorting Andy Jackson was born in North Carolina or South Carolina. Phi Bete members say he must have quoted affidavits from at least 30 peo ple who were in the room when Mrs. Jackson gave birth to the epic in home spun. He neglected, however, to ex plain how the seating problem for such a gathering was solved. : "Well, the food was good, anyway," said Sanford Stein,vwho is a Phi Bete.

The au dience finds this sad too, but they re alize trains won't wait for anyone and so they let the artist go, scramble from their seats and hot foot it to the book ex.

The. first winner of the Jackson scholarship lives op to expectations. Amen. o IN PASSING t Not wishing to take glory from other Carolina athletic teams, but wanting to give credit where credit is due, we congratulate the baseball team on its record this spring. Already the nine has won the State championship, and the Southern conference title will be theirs if they beat VMI tomorrow. The team has come a long way since the start of the season, and it has had to fight an uphill battle. Defeating Duke in two out of three games is an out standing accomplishment that we won't soon forget. We can truthfully say that the record made by the Hearnmen will bring one of Carolina's best sport years to a successful close. Printshop men are getting a bit con fused about Tar an' Fedders. They have copy for two issues Witten's April swan song and Seeman's opening salvo in nearly the same stage of production. It should be an interesting race. SENIORS ELECT (Continued from first page) Bob Hermson. Fighting neck and neck throughout the program for the rights of being master of ceremonies, Hermson and Hardy kept the group of madcap pre- graduates "in the aisles." Ex-DTH managing editor Charles Barrett read the glorious Class His tory as the audience sat back wrapped in memories. Spotlighting the program, Sound and Fury starlette Ann Guill sang San ford Stem s original masterpiece of the Last Will and Testament, to the tune of "Thanks for the Memories." Today the class begins the conclud ing act of the senior week with the first of the setof junior-senior dances. The class, en toto, will attend the Tony Pastor concert to be held in Memorial hall from 3 until 4 o'clock. Proceeds from the concert will go towards pro viding social rooms for the men's dor mitories. Tomorrow; the Class of 1941 spon sors the lacrosse game between the varsity stick-handlers and the full-j blooded Cherokee Indians to be held at 2 o'clock on the coed field. Plug for Us The first five minutes before a Chan el Hill audience is one of the greatest thrills of an artist's life. Ask Jepson, ask Gambarelli, ask the National Sym phony, ask Bjoerling, ask anybody who has ever appeared here. When they first step out onto the great stage in Memorial hall the Chap el Hillians seem to go mad with joy. They clap, they stamp their feet, they whistle, they show their approval in a million ways. The artist who is ap pearing bows, smiles, and quickly de velops a "Boy, ain't I the one," feeling. Under this tremendous approbation, he performs better than he has ever in his life before. When he has finished ms nrst selection tne audience again goes mad and the stamping of feet and whistling are redoubled in volume. The artist thinks, "Ah, education, marvel ous these people really know some thing good when they get it." Modesty. After about four selections in which the artist has thoroughly worn himself out in trying to sustain the enthusiasm of the audience, he sends out his accompanist to sort of fill in with a little ditty until he can catch his breath. This is too much for the Chapel Hill students. Imagine, two acts in the same show when they only expected one. They go insane! They stand up and shout, they bellow "encore" until the poor little accom panist's fingers get stiff from play ing variations of Brahm's "Lullaby." He .grows embarrassed and glances furtively out to the wings to see how the great artist is liking this "steal ing the show" business. Finally he ducks out to the wings and refuses to come back despite the pleas of the audience. "If they are left alone for a while," he figures, "they're bound to calm down. After all even my mother doesn't think I'm that good.' ent. Hans Kindler began a symphony and went through all his gyrations be fore the orchestra. At the end of the first movement his hands dropped to his sides. Immediately behind him broke out wild applause. He turned in consternation and turned again to his orchestra without bowing. This was not enough admonishment for the Chapel Hill folk though and at the end of the second movement again ap plause broke loose. Mr. Kinkier by this time realizing the type of mind with which he had to deal, ended the third movement with hands aloft and let them remain there until the fourth movement was ready to begin. Al though this meant a slight upset in Mr. Kindler's circulatory system, it was worth it to him for there was only one lone clap. A One Exception The United States Marine Band showed themselves able to cope with the situation better than any of the others. They'd been to Chapel Hill before and were wise to the game they had to play. And so they made a cheerful jumble of Sousa and the "Dipsy Doodle" and we don't believe any program was more enjoyed. The last five minutes before a Chapel Hill audience is one of the worst ex periences an artist can have. You can ask any of them about that too. They bow and smile and wave to the audi ence and again and aeain are called back for an encore. It's rather fun to think what runs through their minds at such a time. "I wonder if I'll get out of here by morning ... I wonder if I'll ever perform here again ... I've got to remember to smile . ... After all, if I have anything to do with where I perform, this is my farewell appear ance in Chapel Hill ; . .

The Inkling The star of the evening returns with a growing suspicion that may be this audience doesn't know what the score is or else with the begin nings of an inferiority complex. In any case the sparkle is gone from his performance and he may resort to singing, "I Wonder Why Johnny's so long at the Fair" as did Miss Jep son.
